Buffy and Spike

14- Helping Hand

SPIKE'S POV

'That's just it' Buffy frowned at me 'I don't know what to do Spike'

'Love it's okay' I said holding her hand 'we can both firgure it out, all of us. You don't have to do it all by yourself'

'It always feels that way though!' She yelled a little hoping off the stool 'I'm not being mean to you or anything, I love you but Giles and the rest of the gang it's always "what do we do Buffy?" And well God sometimes I don't know' she stared out the kitchen window and I didn't move.

She turned around tears in her eyes and looked at me 'what are we going to do?'

I got up and hugged her without saying a word, because I didn't know either, I didn't know how we were going to stop the apocalypse.

'Sweetie get the door' Buffy called out to me, I looked at the clock in the lounge

'Sun hasn't set love' I yelled back

'Ugh' I heard Buffy moan and run to the door 'hey' she smiled at the gang letting them in.

'Hey' they replied to Buffy then to me

'Hey' I waved

The gang and Buffy joined me in the lounge room. Every one sat down and by everyone I really only meant Xander, Willow and Giles. Buffy stood at the front looking anxious.

'So guys we really need a plan for Monday, I'm sick of the "running into battle with no plan thing." Wait...' Buffy halted

'What?' I panicked

'How's Monday going to work exactly, with the sun and all?'

'Maybe it's at night time?' Xander suggested

'Giles haven't you been researching? It's in 5 days, if those stupid vampires, no offence honey, out the front are even right! You and Willow are normally researching so much! You think just because the world is not going to end, we don't have to research. It's just a small apocalypse no it's not it could be huge! It could be a thousand vampires it could be ten who knows!' Buffy yelled at us

'We were waiting for our leader Buffy' Willow smiled 'and I think she's back'

'What do you mean?' Buffy demanded

'Well you've been so out of it lately, no offence but with Spike and all, like well in love and you haven't been in apocalypse mode either'

'Ugh, you're so right' Buffy agreed joining us on the lounge, she took my hand 'I'm sorry Spike' she smiled

'Don't be' I replied kissing her cheek

'And I'm sorry guys' she frowned at the gang

'It's okay, we'll get right onto researching' Willow smiled

'Giles?' Buffy said with pleading eyes

'All is forgiven Buffy' Giles said with a small smile

Buffy smiled and pulled me up

'Group hug' she yelled

They weren't really my thing but Buffy managed to pull me in close to her and let the gang form the outside circle and I laughed.
