This is a short fiction that I thought of. I can't always be about the fluff, even though there is some of that involved. Feel free to let me know what ya'll think. I'm up for anything=)
Chapter 1
After the battle with the Black Thorn, Spike headed back to Rome to see Buffy. He didn’t care about her being with the Immortal; he just wanted to see her even if she rejected him. He finally got to her apartment and took a deep breath before he knocked on the door. He was human now and he really hoped that Buffy would want to be with him, but if not he would accept that and try to move on with his life now that he had one. He was really nervous as he waited for someone to open the door and when he got no response a few seconds later, he knocked again. He wondered where she was and really hoped she wasn’t out with the Immortal. He decided to just take a risk and turned the doorknob. He was surprised when he found the door unlocked. He opened the door and let himself in. It didn’t seem like anyone was home so he headed to the back of the apartment to where he figured Buffy’s room was. He saw a door in the back partly open so he walked back there and opened the door wider and he was shocked at what he saw. Buffy was lying on the floor and she seemed to be unconscious. He ran to her side and turned her over so he could get a better look at her. Her face was very pale and he grabbed her wrist to see that there was a cut on it. He looked and noticed the same thing on her other wrist and he could tell that she lost a lot of blood. There was a bloody knife next to her and he could guess what happened even though he was finding it hard to believe. “Buffy! Wake up, love! Please wake up!” He stated as he felt for a pulse and found one even though it was very faint. He was just grateful that she was still alive as he then picked her up and carried her out of the apartment. When he got outside, he placed her in his car and headed for the nearest hospital. He looked at her with a worried expression on his face and just hoped that it wasn’t too late. He couldn’t believe that she actually tried to kill herself. He thought she was happy. He shook his head of his thoughts and tried to get to the hospital as fast as he could. He parked his car when he finally got there and carried her inside the hospital. “She needs help!” He yelled when a few nurses then took her away from him and placed her on a stretcher. They rolled her into the emergency room. Spike was about to follow when a doctor held him back.
“I’m sorry, but you can’t go in there. Your friend will be fine; I need to ask you some questions.” Spike nodded and let the doctor lead him away. He was just grateful that the man spoke good English because his Italian was a little rusty. “What exactly happened, sir?” The doctor asked and Spike shook his head.
“I don’t know. I went to see her at her apartment and the door was opened. So, I went in and found her unconscious with both wrists slit. I don’t know what happened.” He said with a shaky voice and the doctor nodded.
“Has your friend been suicidal before?” Spike shook his head and was angered at that idea.
“No, she wouldn’t kill herself. She was happy, I know she was. There has to be a good explanation for this.” The doctor nodded and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Spike looked up at him. “Will she be okay?” He asked with fear in his voice and the doctor took a breath before answering.
“It’s too soon to tell. Just know that we have good doctors here and they’ll do everything they can to help her.” Spike nodded accepting his answer and stayed silent. The doctor then left to go deal with other patients. It seemed to be forever when he came back. Spike looked at him and waited for him to speak. “Well, she’s stable. We managed to stop the bleeding and gave her a blood transfusion, but I’m afraid that she has slipped into a coma. She would have to pull out of it on her own. If she doesn’t wake up soon though there is a chance that she may never wake up. You may see her if you like, I’m really sorry.” The doctor said as he then left Spike with his thoughts. Spike rubbed his eyes and tried not to cry. He knew how strong Buffy was and knew that if anyone could pull out of this she could. He really hoped so. He got up and headed to the nearby payphone. He called her number and decided to leave a message for Dawn, so she would know what happened. He headed to Buffy's room when he was done with that. He opened the door and felt like throwing up when he saw her lying there. She was so pale and had tubes in her. He let the breath out that he was holding and walked over to her. He sat down in the chair by her bed and grasped her hand in his. He felt tears form in his eyes as he looked at his love.
“What happened, Buffy? Why would you do this to yourself?” Spike whispered as he lowered his head and finally let the tears fall.
