Chapter 2

Her voice fit the music exactly. It was powerful and full of feeling.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave

Spike felt a shiver run down his back as her voice floated through the room. Her voice sounded just as haunted as the music. He turned around and headed to the piano; he scanned the sheet music. He caught up and began playing along with Oz.

'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

He watched as Buffy turned and his fingers slipped from the keys. Her eyes were closed as she turned. Her voice rang out, clear and beautiful. He stared at her for a moment; she was possibly the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He resumed playing and got lost in her song. Her face seemed to show every emotion to the song she was singing.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

Willow stared at her friend, her heart breaking for her. She and Buffy had been friends since they were kids, but they rarely saw each other now. She missed her friend desperately and wished with all her heart that she could help, but Buffy didn’t want any help.

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along.


The song came to an end and Spike stared at the woman in front of him, she still had her eyes closed. He glanced at Oz, but he just shook his head.

Oz stood and gestured for Spike to follow him out of the room. Once outside Oz fixed a pointed look at his best friend.

“Leave it alone man, she’s not your type.” The conviction rang out in Oz’s voice and Spike looked surprised.

“She’s got a beautiful voice though.” Spike smiled at the red haired man.

“Leave it alone man.” Was all Oz said.
