CHAPTER. 2

4 YEARS LATER

"Willow, I've got to get going, Angel just arrived" Buffy said into the phone as she walked downstairs and opened the door as Angel walked in,

"Okay, before you go, don't forget Bronze tonight Spike, OZ & Xander are finally playing",

"don't worry Will, I didn't forget",

"hope you didn't Spike would be pretty upset",

"I know, that's why I didn't, don't want one less friend after tonight" she said "one sec" she mouthed to Angel as he nodded,

"is Angel coming",

"doubt it",

"true he does hate Spike, how on earth do you deal with your boyfriend hating your best friend?",

"same, when it's the other way around Will, what time are they on?",

"9pm",

"I'll be there, and if I happen to be running late, just let him know that I will turn up and not let him down" Buffy said as Angel gestured for her to hurry up,

"will do" Willow said,

"Cool, bye Willow",

"Bye Buffy" she said as both girls then hung up.

"Sorry bout that" Buffy said and kissed him "hey" she said as they pulled away,

"hey, what's tonight?"

"Spike and the others have a gig at the Bronze tonight" she said,

"so that explains you saying doubt it, take it Will asked if I was coming",

"god, you must have good hearing" she said as they walked in the kitchen,

"Buffy, we need to talk" he said seriously as she turned to face him,

"okay, this doesn't sound like it's going to be a good talk" she replied "should I sit or stand",

"sit" he said,

"okay, that's the first sign of bad news" she said.

"I'm just going to get straight to the point.I have been seeing somebody else" Angel blurted out,

"WHAT!" Buffy said,

"for 3 months, her names Darla",

"Angel.4 years, for 4 fucken years, I gave you my heart, my soul, my body, and what you are just going to end it for a 2 month fling",

"3",

"I don't care.god, why would you hurt me like this, after this long" Buffy said and noticed her younger sister at the door "Dawn, go upstairs now", the little girl then ran upstairs "why Angel, what'd I do to make you do this?"

"I need a girlfriend, a girlfriend that loves me",

"I do, I love you so much",

"and not her best friend" he finished,

"don't bring Spike into this Angel, I don't love Spike, sure he is my best friend, but boyfriend and best friend are different, you should know that Angel" she said,

"that's what you think" he replied.

"Okay, Xander is my best friend, I love him and hey so is Cordy, what do you know I must be a bisexual because I love them both so much" she said sarcastically,

"you are closer with Spike, Buffy, when you two are together it's like you are both in a world with just the two of you in it, I see the way he looks at you Buffy, he is in love with you, you know it, everyone knows it",

"he loves me, so what, he knows that nothing can happen",

"friendship never stops anything from happening Buffy",

"you don't get it do you, I am not the one having sex with another person, I am not sleeping with Spike while you are sleeping with her, when I am with Spike we just talk, we talk about things that I can't talk to you about, he is like a female best friend".

"Okay then, if you want us to stilbl be together, then why don't you not tell Spike about our problems and start talking to me since I am your boyfriend" he said,

"well for one, no, it will be weird and two, there is no way that this will go on, not after hearing what you did behind my back" she finished.

"Well, then if I never cheated on you, would you stop talking to the guy, so then we can have a real relationship?" he asked her,

"get out now!" she said,

"fine, see you around" he then opened the door and left.

Buffy then sat at the bottom of the stairs and cried, "Buffy" Dawn said sitting next her as Buffy continued to cry, "you'll be fine" Dawn said hugging her older sister.

"Think so?"

"Sure I do",

"and what makes you think that" Buffy said,

"you have Spike, he will never leave you, he loves you, just like Angel said

"Dawn finished as Buffy looked at her,

"thanks Dawn, but me and Spike never like that",

"want to make a bet, that he will sweep you off your feet tonight after you cry on his shoulder?"

"Okay, if he doesn't, you do my laundry duty, and if he does I will be your slave for a whole day" Buffy said,

"deal" Dawn said as they shook hands "oh and Buffy, when you do lose the bed, my room needs a really good clean" the little girl said and ran upstairs as she just laughed.

**********

Willow, where the bloody hell is she? She said that she would be here?" Spike said pacing back and fourth, looking at the entrance of the club and then at his watch,

" Spike, she wanted me to let you know that if she is running late.which she isn't that she will still come and that she will not let you down",

"yeah, listen to Willow, and stop pacing, because you are making me very nervous" Xander said,

"sorry mate, it's just if she doesn't arrive soon then I will be so nervous that it won't be funny, at least if she does arrive she can give me a pat on the back, encourage me and I will be fine" Spike said very quickly still pacing back and fourth and still looking at the entrance as well as his watch.

He then stopped and faced them all, "I have completely gone insane, haven't I" he asked them all,

"nope" Willow said as Cordy, Xander and OZ mumble yes,

"ignore them Spike, she is your best friend",

"who I am madly in love with" he added,

"you want her to be there when you go on stage, it's completely normal" Willow said.

"Sorry to be the bad guy to break the bad news, but we are on in 2 minutes, everything is up there ready except for us" OZ said,

"go Spike, I'll yell at her for being late when she arrives" Willow said,

"you do that" Spike said as they then walked to the stage, "good luck" both girls screamed.

**********

"Next Up, Dingoes Ate My Baby" The announcer said as the crowd cheered,

"I'm here, I'm here!" Buffy said sitting down as Willow hit her on the arm,

"he's upset isn't he?"

"little" she said as the lights went down as a soft voice started to sing.

Never made it as a wise man,
Couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing,
Tired of living like a blind man.
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me.

Xander then belted out on the drums as the lights came on to reveal Spike staring at Buffy.

This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry,
once waited on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken for having you a heart worth breaking
I've been wrong I've been down
To the bottom of every bottle
These 5 words in my head scream "Are we having fun yet"
Yeah, Yeah No, No Yeah, Yeah No, No

Buffy then looked toward Spike, to see that he was still looking over at her

It's not like you didn't know that,
I said I love you, And I swear I still do
It must have been so bad
Cos living with me must of damnly killed you

This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry, once waited on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken for having you a heart worth breaking
I've been wrong I've been down
To the bottom of every bottle
These 5 words in my head scream
"Are we having fun yet"
Yeah, Yeah No, No Yeah, Yeah No, No

Spike then starts to play the guitar and looks away as Buffy continues to watch him, knowing that every word of that song was for her, and her only. Spike then stepped up and continued to sing.

Never made it as a wise man,
Couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing,
Tired of living like a blind man.
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me.
this is how you remind me.

Xander then picks up the pace of the drums as Spike voice gets a little rougher.

This is how you remind me, of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry,
once waited on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken

Spike then belted out the tune as the crowd got wild

For having you a heart worth breaking
I've been wrong I've been down
To the bottom of every bottle
These 5 words in my head scream, "Are we having fun yet"

Yeah, Yeah Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, Yeah Are we having fun yet?
These 5 words in my head Are we having fun yet?
These 5 words in my head No, No

"I wonder who he sang that to" Cordy said to herself as Willow laughed, "what?" Buffy said, "he so loves you" Willow said as they played the next song.
