Are You Gonna Be My Girl?
Later that night after he tucked Dawn into bed and promised he would come in again after he patrolled. He told his father he would met up with Xander and Willow later on. He left the house and pulled a key out of his pocket. His father did not know he had made a duplicate. William made sure his father was no where in sight and walked across the street.
William opened the back door of The Summer’s home. Every time he camre ire it was like being transported back in time. Even in the dark the house went sunny to him. He no longer woke up at the crack of dawn. Slaying and classes kept him pretty much set to night hours. It seemed appropriate to him. Being here during the day with the sun shining brightly knowing Lizzie couldn’t seemed wrong. He walked up the stairs and made his way to Joyce’s old room.
He stopped in front of Elizabeth’s room he had to go in, he did every time he came to the house. William walked over to the window and looked over at his own. Tears began to fill his eyes. He sat down on the floor and closed his eyes.
FLASHBACK
________________________________________________________________
Elizabeth and Dawn came out of thuse use giggling. William smiled getting out of the car and opening the door for the two sisters.
“Thanks.” Elizabeth said sliding in.
William started the car and began to back out of the space.
“So what’s this place called again?” Elizabeth asked.
“The Bronze.” Dawn said. “It’s the only real hang out in this town unless you count the local coffee shop The Espresso Pump.” Dawn said looking out the window.
William smiled at Elizabeth.
“Dawn did her research before we moved.” Elizabeth teased.
“How about you Luv?” William asked.
“I’m more a fly by my seat of my pants kind of gal. I didn’t want to know much so everything would be an adventure.” Elizabeth said.
William opened his window the reference to her pants caused an uncomfortable ache in his.
“You o.k. Will?” Elizabeth asked.
William nodded his face turning redder.
“Just got hot for a second.” He responded.
They pulled up to The Bronze Eliza gra grabbed Dawn’s hand and walked in with her. Immediately they saw Spike standing near the stage. Elizabeth saw a very beautiful dark haired women standing next to him whispering something in his ear. Spike chuckled trying to remove the girl from his body. For some reason that made Elizabeth happy at the same time for some reason Elizabeth wanted to run over there and scratch her eye balls out.
“I see Drucilla made it out tonight.” William muttered.
“Drucilla?” Elizabeth asked.
“That girl fawning all over Spike. They used to date a while ago. She was not very good for him at all. Went through a really bad patch last year. Luckily he wised up broke up with her. She comes around when he performs likes the attention of being seen with Spike.” William explained.
William watched Elizabeth’s face as a gambit of emotions raced across it. If he was more shallow he could spin this in his favor. He could make his brother look like a cad. But the look of her face.. he couldn’t.
Damn Nobility.
“Really Lizzie she doesn’t mean anything to him anymore.” William said comforther.her.
Elizabeth smiled shyly.
“You must think I am a big dweeb.” Elizabeth muttered.
“No I think you’re perfect. Beautiful and perfect.” He thought.
Spike saw them at that moment. He frowned when he saw Elizabeth looking down disappointed. She must have saw Drucilla on him.
“Hey guys I saved you seats.” Spike said smiling at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was introduced to Xander and Willow, Spike and William’s friends. Willow looked up on the stage.
“Who’s that?” Willow asked looking at the red haired boy his hair sticking up straight much like Spike’s.
“That’s Oz. Spike’s new bassist.” Xander said.
Elizabeth and Willow smiled at each other. Elizabeth knew instantly they would be friends.
Spike took the stage placing his guitar over his shoulders.
“Hi, we’re The Dare and thank you for coming out.” Spike screamed.
The whole room roared.
“The Dare?” Elizabeth asked.
“Yeah we dared Spike one night to perform for open mic night when we were younger. He took it and was pretty good. Has been singing ever since.” Xander explained.
Elizabeth watched the room all the girl seemed enthralled with Spike.
“Nothing new tonight guys but I’m working on something special.” Spike smiled looking right at Buffy.
“So hopefully you guys will enjoy this one.” Spike said.
Spike looked at Oz and counted.
A loud guitar rift filled the air. Elizabeth watched as Spike did a complicated chord making all the girls scream.
“So 1, 2, 3, take my hand and come with me
because you look so fine
and I really wanna make you mine.
I say you look so fine
that I really wanna make you mine.”
Elizabeth watched as everyone rushed the stage. Watching Spike up there made Elizabeth suddenly feel inadequate.
“Oh, 4,5,6 c'mon and get your kicks
now you don't need that money
when you look like that, do ya honey.
Big black boots,
long brown hair,
she's so sweet
with her get back stare.
Well I could see,
you home with me,
but you were with another man, yea!
I know we,
ain't got much to say,
before I let you get away, yea!
I said, are you gonna be my girl?”
Spike screamed into the mic. He looked at Elizabeth.
“Well, so 1,2,3, take my hand and come with me
because you look so fine
and I really wanna make you mine.
I say you look so fine
that I really wanna make you mine.”
Elizabeth looked down afraid the look in her eyes made her seem like the rest of the screaming girls. She watched them all making advances to Spike with their eyes. They ted ted openly. Something Elizabeth had no experience in doing. There was no way she could compete.
“Oh, 4,5,6 c'mon and get your kicks
now you don't need that money
with a face like that, do ya.
Big black boots,
long brown hair,
she's so sweet
with her jet back stare.”
Dawn watched her sister.
“Come on Lizzie let’s dance.” Dawnie said grabbing her sister.
Elizabeth complied giving into her little sister. All of sudden all her previous thoughts were out of mindmind. She was having too much fun dancing with her sister. She and Dawn jumped around dancing like two goof balls.
“Well I could see,
you home with me,
but you were with another man, yea!
I know we,
ain't got much to say,
before I let you get away, yea!
I said, are you gonna be my girl?”
William had an epiphany just then. Everyone thought Elizabeth and Dawn’s relationship was special but he could not put his finger on what made it so special until that moment. They truly took care of her. Elizabeth doted over Dawn while Dawn seemed to know exactly how to be there emotionally for her sometimes insecure and fragile older sister. It was truly remarkable.
Spike on the other hand was a bit put out. There he was performing and Elizabeth seemed oblivious. If she did not look so damn cute spinning her little sister around dancing like a silly fool not caring what anyone around her thought, he would be right pissed. But he wasn’t. He thouge coe could actually hear her laughter through the cheers.
“Oh yea. Oh yea. C'mon!
I could see,
you home with me,
but you were with another man, yea!
I know we,
ain't got much to say,
before I let you get away, yea!
Uh, be my girl.
Be my girl.
Are you gonna be my girl?! Yea”
Spike finished the song before he knew it Drucilla jumped on stage and kissed him soundly. Elizabeth stopped moving entirely. Dawn looked up and pulled at her big sister.
“Come on Lizzie let’s go home.” She said.
Buffy smiled at Dawn and let her lead her off the dance floor.
Elizabeth sat on her porch looking up at the stars. She watched as William pulled up in his car. William immediately looked across the street and walked over.
“Hey Pet.” He said.
“Hi.” Elizabeth smiled.
“You know you guys did not have to take that cab I would have been happy to take you home.” William said.
Elizabeth nodded.
“I know we didn’t want to impose.” Elizabeth explained
“I’d do anything for you.” William thought.
“Have a seat.” She said patting the porch swing beside her.
William sat down next to her. Elizabeth immediately put her head on William’s shoulder and looked up at the stars.
“I heard that by the time we see the stars they have already burnt out.” Elizabeth said closing her eyes.
William’s eyes drifted shut too. He could smell her hair feel her breath against his neck.
“I love you.” His mind screamed.
“If the stars have burned out by the time I see them does that make them any less beautiful?” Elizabeth eyes still shut.
William started to rock the porch swing gently back and forth. He looked down at Elizabeth her eyes closed. William wrapped his arm around her shoulder and closed his eyes again. If he could stay here forever....
“No Luv, No it doesn’t”
End of flash back
__________________________________________________________________
William opened his eyes. He must have dozed off. He squinted looking at the time. It had only been a few minutes. He got up and took a deep breath. He swore the room still smelt like her. He heard her voice in the wind again.....
“If the stars have burned out by the time I see them does that make them any less beautiful?
It wasn’t fair none of it was....
Xander and Willow arrived at the Sunnydale cemetery just in time to watch William dust for vampires. He was fighting with so much anger and aggression Willow could feel it from where she stood.
She began to shake. Pain, betrayal, rage and ......love? Willow felt the love flowing from William. His love more intense than any of the other dark emotions. William spun around kicking the last vampire. Willow and Xander watched waiting for the vampire’s dusty end. Instead of William dealing the signature death blow they watched as the stake pierced the vampire’s shoulder instead of his heart. The vampire dropped to his knees. It looked like William was whispering something in the vampire’s ear. He struggled picking up the vampire than pushed him away. The vampire looked down at something in his hand confused for a moment than scurried off.
Willow and Xander exchanged looks.
“So no dust?” Xander asked.
William stormed pass his friends.
“Never mind. Let’s go to the South side of town there’s a nest there.” William said
Willow and Xander knew better than to question their friend he was in one of his moods again...
William opened the back door of The Summer’s home. Every time he camre ire it was like being transported back in time. Even in the dark the house went sunny to him. He no longer woke up at the crack of dawn. Slaying and classes kept him pretty much set to night hours. It seemed appropriate to him.
