Star shook her head thinking hard. She didn’t want to let Buffy go without some type of confirmation from her parents, but she did have a place to go. Truthfully, Star had begun to like Buffy and Spike. Her heart ached for the girl who’s father beat her and mother left. What kind of parent’s did that? She opened her eyes again to look at the blond who was healing miraculously.
Sighing she said, “alright, I will tell you what you need to know but I advise against you leaving.” She paused, hoping that the feisty girl would give in but when Buffy showed no sign of defeat she continued. “We are not legally allowed to keep you here if you don’t want to be, but in this situation I personally don’t know what to do.”
“Well, I really want to leave, I’m going to Spike’s. He said I could live with him. I just don’t want to be here anymore, and since I can pee on my own I think I can make it back into society.” She ended with a little giggle at Star’s exasperated expression. She had healed quite a bit faster then they thought she would, and she knew it. Most of her fractures were completely healed in the 3 weeks she was there. Her ribs were still incredibly sore but she could manage moving around on her own and her skull had healed completely.
Her mental state was what Spike had been worried about. He knew Hank was back at the house and wasn’t sure how they were going to get her stuff out. “Luv, you want to stay with the nice nurse for a little bit so I can go home? I don’t want to but I’ve got to get space ready for you and whatever you are going to bring.”
Buffy looked him in the eye. He had been so kind to her these last few weeks, she loved him for what he was doing for her. He hadn’t been to school, hadn’t been home, hadn’t gone to the store. The only time he left her side was to smoke, which he had been doing a lot less of. At the rate he was going, he could probably quit soon and not even miss it.
She got up and went over to where he stood, hugging him gently. He returned the hug surprised. “Yes you can go. Silly, you don’t have to ask for my permission.” She said looking up at him, still in his arms. He was so strong and muscular. ‘I bet he’s that way everywhere. Eek! Stop thinking that way, stop, stop, stop.’ “Are you coming back to get me?” she asked instead of trying to get her perverted mind back into clear thought. She had been sliding into the gutter every time she looked at him.
“Yeah pet, I’ll be back. It won’t take long. I promise.” And this he meant. I wouldn’t take long to throw some of his things into a box in the basement. He had already spoken to his parents about his soon to be roommate and they were fine with it. His mum had even said she’d put extra money in his bank account so neither of them would have to get a job.
Francesca was proud of her son reaching out and helping someone less fortunate. The money wasn’t a problem at all because her and William’s father, Maurice were extremely well of, and doing better every day. Spike was grateful for his clever mother, noticing that what they gave him he could live comfortably on but not supporting someone else. Francesca had met Buffy before, and had liked her immediately. And if her son was going to invite someone into his home she was glad it wasn’t some tramp he just met. Even though she couldn’t see how Spike was going to get away with inviting a 17-year-old to live with him.
Spike had gotten to his house thinking about how supportive of Buffy everyone was. And Willow was helping him with some of the stuff he had to get done while he was at the hospital. She had cleaned out his fridge because food had started to rot; (Not like he had a ton of stuff in there but the salad dressing had gone bad). And had taken his clothes home and washed them. He walked inside and realized Red had done something else. She had cleaned! His house wasn’t a pigsty per say but it was a little disheveled. She had brought a vacuum over and actually cleaned, dusted vacuumed scrubbed etc.
Spike found some of the boxed he used when he moved in and set to work clearing his objects from the bathroom and the living room. He had only been working for an hour but almost everything he had set out to pack was in a big box. He didn’t like being away from Buffy for so long. Man he really fell for her and hard. And he realized it when he asked permission to leave. If she had said he couldn’t go, he wouldn’t have. Even if she had shown the smallest hint…and that hug, what was that about? Did she maybe have feelings for him too?
After packing his things in the basement he went to the grocery store. Buying things for them to eat was definitely something that had to be done before he could go back. He knew Buffy would be okay at the hospital but he really missed her. He knew deep down inside that everything was going to work out. There was no doubt in his mind that she would be worse off if left to go back to her home. Hank hadn’t come by the hospital again and for that he was glad. He had spoken to the police numerous times but Buffy wouldn’t.
After getting the food home and put away, he drove to the hospital. Buffy had been working on Star and he doctor, who finally gave in and went to get the prescriptions and papers that she needed. Spike came in to see Buffy lay down.
“ello luv. I’m back!” spike said in a soft voice. She looked at him and a smile that melted his heart spread across her face. “What did Doctor Feel Good say?” he asked.
“Well, Dr. Feldgot said I could leave today!!!! He’s actually getting the papers and the prescriptions ready. I’m sticking the bill with my dad. That asshole deserves to pay.” She looked at Spike with big questioning eyes. “How am I going to get my things? He’s still at the house. And worse yet, what if he doesn’t let me go?”
“Don’t worry about these things pet. We’ll get your stuff, I promise. And I always keep my promises right?” she nodded because he was right, he did always keep his promises. In came the doctor with all the information they needed and came Buffy with a walking boot for her ankle and Spike smiling like he had just won the jackpot, which to him is exactly what happened. He called Willow, Giles, Xander, Onya, Cordelia, and Tara over to his house to celebrate Buffy’s welcome home. It was Friday so no one had to be home early and the party stretched into the early hours of the morning. Buffy feel asleep in Spike’s room and Spike slept on the couch.
the next few chapters are going to get a little Spuffy!!!!
