The gang busted through the front door but the house appeared to be empty. They went upstairs and peeked on Dawn then Buffy.
Their jaws dropped at the blonde couple sleeping on the bed.
Dawn came out of her bedroom. “Guys, leave them alone,” she said, closing Buffy’s door.
Xander glared at her. “Why is Spike in her bed?” H asked.
“Don’t you care that she’s back from the dead?” Dawns asked.
“We did a spell do bring her back,” Willow said. “But we didn’t think that it worked.”
Spike had just woken up and was listening. Gently he slipped out of Buffy’s bed and
went to the door.
He opened it startling everybody. “You did a spell?” He growled softly, shutting the door.
“So?” Willow asked.
“There might be something wrong with her,” Spike said, his voice cracking.
“Would it make you love me any less?” Buffy asked, opening the door to her room.
“No,” Spike answered, looking at her.
Buffy came out and stood next to Spike. “You guys brought me back?”
“Yeah,” Willow said, proudly.
“Why?” Buffy asked, looking at her.
“Whaddaya mean why?” Willow asked.
“How could you do this to me Willow?!” Buffy flared.
“Do? I saved you,” Willow said, tears in her eyes.
“I was already saved when I jumped off the tower. I went to Heaven and was finally able to rest and you took that away from me,” Buffy said, running downstairs.
Spike took off after her. “Buffy!”
Buffy ran out the back door but stopped in the middle in of the yard.
Spike came over to her and touched her. “Buffy?”
Buffy’s shoulders began to shake as she sobbed. “This isn’t fair!”
“I didn’t know,” he said.
“I know. That’s this is so hard. If it was you who brought me back, I would’ve killed you and been done with it. These are my friends who are supposed to love me,” she said, turning to face him.
Spike frowned. “You wanna hit me? Make you feel better?” He asked.
Buffy shook her head. “Bo it wouldn’t make me feel better,” Buffy said, wrapping her arms around him.
Spike hugged her tightly as she started crying again.
The gang came out and stood on the porch as Buffy cried harder.
“Buffy we didn’t know,” Tara said softly.
Buffy ignored them and hugged Spike tighter. “Spike can we go for a walk?”
“Sure,” Spike said. “Lil Bit? You gunna be okay for a while?”
“Yeah, just be careful,” Dawn said, with a smile.
Spike smiled tenderly at her and slid his hand into Buffy’s. “Come on, Pet,” he whispered.
Buffy squeezed his hand and sniffled. They began walking but neither of them said anything for a long time.
About an hour before sunset, Spike took Buffy home and to bed.
“You okay?” He asked, sitting next to her.
“Can you stay here again?” Buffy asked.
Spike nodded and took off his boots,. He threw his duster over her chair and slid in behind her.
Then next morning, Buffy and Spike went downstairs and found the gang in the living room.
“What’s everyone doing here this early?” Buffy asked, with no emotion.
“We wanted to see if you were ok,” Tara said.
“I’m fine,” Buffy said. “I’m just gunna have to deal with it.”
“We didn’t know,” Willow said.
“Why would I be in hell?” Buffy asked. “What did I do that was so wrong?”
“Nothing,” Willow said.
“Exactly,” Buffy growled. “I’m not perfect but I’m a good person. You weren’t trying to save me, you were trying to save yourself.”
“No, Buffy that’s not it,” Willow said.
“Yes it is!” Buffy yelled. “You couldn’t handle being with out me. Dawn, Spike, and Giles the ones who love me the most, moved on. The ones who love me the most, let me rest.”
“Buffy,” Xander said. “We love you also. If they had known, they would’ve tired to stop us.”
“That’s the point,” Buffy said,
“So what do we now?” Willow asked. “We cant take it back.”
“I don’t know,” Buffy answered. “I know I need some time to think. Can you guys just leave me alone so I can get back on my feet?”
Tara nodded. “We can give you all the time in the world. Call us when you’re ready,” she said, shooing the gang out of the house.
Buffy sighed and looked at Spike. “Can you help me live again?” She asked.
Spike nodded and kissed her forehead tenderly. “Just say the word and I’ll do it.”
“Stay,” Buffy whispered. “Forever.”
“That I can definitely do,” Spike said, softly.
