~ Song Lyrics ~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~ Girl, I left the light on last night
But you didn’t show
I tried to call till daylight
But you were never home, oh no ~
Spike impatiently checked the clock again. 1:35 in the morning and still no Willow. She said that she would be home from patrol by midnight. He turned on the TV to try to distract himself, but nothing good was on that early in the morning.
This had gone on for the last week or so, coming home, if she came at all, much later than she said she would. And if she did, she always went straight to bed, claiming early classes the next morning.
A few times he tried calling her cell phone when she didn’t show up, but it was either off or busy. He was surprised he was able to get through half the time with how much she was on the damn thing.
~ Now you’re knocking at my door
Saying it ain’t what it seems
You tell me things I want to hear
Things I can’t believe ~
The next morning was always the same. She would say that patrol lasted longer than she thought it would, and on the nights she didn’t come at all she said that she stayed with Buffy being too tired to come home.
He believed her the first few times this happened, but when it kept happening he started to wonder if their relationship was not as good as he thought. Things that seemed too good to be true usually were. Women never seemed to want to stay with him, always moving on to other people.
~ All this trash you’re talking
Got you hanging on the noose
And you still believe that I
Won’t turn my back on you ~
He finally received proof tonight that confirmed his suspicions. She came home late as always, this time smelling like his sire. When he asked her about it, she said that Angel came on patrol with them tonight, but if that were true, the smell wouldn’t be as strong as it was.
Recently, he and Xander had become closer friends, and the boy had said that he had seen Willow and Angel together quite a bit lately. So that’s what happening, his sire was once again taking away the woman that he loved.
~ You just keep forgetting
To remember all your lies
If you think I still need you
You got Amnesia ~
Spike overheard a phone call between Willow and his sire, which confirmed everything. It made him sick to think that he was being used the whole time. She admitted that she had wanted Angel the whole time, and had started dating Spike to make Angel jealous.
Now when he asked Willow about patrol she said one thing, and when he asked Xander the boy said something else. He knew that Willow was lying through her teeth, she rarely went on patrol, instead she was with his sire. Fine, he learned his lesson with Dru. They wanted Angel and he wasn’t able to get them back.
~ Everything you do, Everywhere you go
My eyes see through ~
He chuckled. Now that he and Xander were together, slutty was trying to have Willow get between them. Willow was acting the same way now as she was when they first started dating, trying to lure him back to her and away from Xander.
Which may have worked, except he still smelled Angel on her. She truly didn’t want him back; she was just being a good friend.
The End
