Tears Are Fallen Rose Petals
- Chapter 13 -
…Always…
"Always"
I hear... a voice say "Don't be so blind"...
it's telling me all these things...
that you would probably hide...
am I... your one and only desire...
am I the reason you breath...
or am I the reason you cry...
Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that I'm out the door...
and now I'm done with you...
I feel... like you don't want me around...
I guess I'll pack all my things...
I guess I'll see you around...
Inside... it bottles up until now...
as I walk out your door...
all I hear is the sound...
Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that I'm out the door...
and now I'm done with you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I left my head around your heart...
Why would you tear my world apart...
Always... always... always... always...
I see... the blood all over your hands...
does it make you feel... more like a man...
was it all... just a part of your plan...
this pistol's shakin' in my hands...
and all I hear is the sound...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that I'm out the door...
and now I'm done with you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I pick myself off the floor...
and now I'm done with you... Always...Always... Always...
Spike walked in silence with Faye's murmured cries coming from behind him. Stepping on he ignored the sounds the aching in his chest doubling. His eyes grew wary and he felt as if a thousand pounds now lay neatly on his shoulders.
Fallowing behind Vicious he plotted his friend's death in his mind hate consuming him. The blood in his body began to boil as it had years before. 'I won't… I can't become that man again. For Faye's sake I can't hurt her.'
Vicious led Spike and the others though a narrow door way into a large dark, empty room that smelled like a moldy basement. "Keep Faye and the little girl away from us." Vicious hissed looking down at Ed as she glared at him.
Spike blinked and glanced over at Faye who just gave him the same lonesome stare like nothing had ever happened between them. No love shared, no feelings felt, no relationship stronger then business partners. He was falling back into his whole of darkness and disappear.
"Let's go." Vicious took his blade and drew it quickly pointing it towards Spike.
He didn't reply only a quick glance and then a little sigh as he once again started whistling to a tune.
"So care free about your life." Vicious smiled his teeth gleaming.
"Let's get this over with." Spike drew his gun putting in three spare bullets. 'Friends… What ever happened to us that day, why was it we grew with such a strong hate?'
Spike and Vicious walked forward together each with a non-caring sway since they both knew after that day that this was never going to be avoided. 'Faye I'll be back to you in a moment, wait fro my baby.' Spike thought once again a smile forming on his lips.
"The thought of seeing me dead amuses you Spike?" Vicious's voice cut though the darkness like a knife startling Spike at first.
"Something like that… Yeah, guess you could put it that way." Spike stopped ten feet away from Vicious. "Faye, I know this isn't the best time, or the most romantic way of saying this but… I'm always here with you, whatever happens I'll always be with you…" Spike didn't dare look back afraid he would fall with the horrified look she would give him. Tears streaming from her face he heard her cry out and fall to her knees holding her face in her hands. 'I'm sorry, I can't avoid this…'
Instead Spike looked at the shadowed figure with his blade drawn before him. "Ready Spike, are you ready to die, I'm the only one who can kill you, you know that right?"
"You're not the only one. You just think that, each time I almost was killed I just happened to have blind luck. Weather that lucks on my side or not we'll have to find out won't we?" Spike laughed as a piece of paper blew lightly past them signiling for their fight to begin.
Vicious laughed mockingly and ran towards him with the blade sweeping it towards Spike only to have him dodge it and fire his gun grazing Vicious's face. Vicious gritted his teeth and ran again towards Spike missing the fired bullet and kicking him in his ignored arm with his left foot.
"Ahh!" Spike yelled out in pain and he heard the sharp inhale of breath of Faye off in the distance. "You!" Spike yelled kicking Vicious from behind as he fell backwards.
"Die!" Vicious screamed as a flash of lighting screamed though the night sky and rain began to pour from the sky. Everyone fell silent as one loan body stay standing in mix of everything.
"No…" Faye's voiced uttered her breath staggered and increasing rapidly. Shin stood on in the corner of the room gun drawn a small smile on his face as Vicious's body fell to the ground.
Spike's eyes widened. 'How…' But Spike didn't miss the sword that time hitting him in his lower side blood flowing steadily from the wound.
'That was for you Gin… Good-bye my brother.' Shin sighed closing his eye and walking back over. Clearly the guards hadn't noticed. 'Daft fools.'
"Spike!" Faye cried running over in a frantic attempt to keep her hopes alive. 'Don't be dead, you're not dead, you're still alive; I know you are!'
Spike's head moved toward the frightened cry and he smiled in return to it when he saw Faye's small body running to him. "Hey…" He whispered as she bent down next to him and let his head rest in her lap.
"Someone call 911!" Faye shouted the men still looking at their dying leader in shock.
"The Cryogenic freeze really did mess your brain up…" Vicious spoke, Spike barely able to hear him
With his eyes widening at first he then glared over at him. "No, you're the one it messed up. Not me, you."
"True, who knows, maybe we'd still be friends and you and Julia could have been happy if things didn't… Change…" Vicious inhaled one last breath the wound in his chest killing him.
Faye's eyes also widened at his comment before. 'Cryogenic… Freeze?' Faye blocked it from her mind though and concentrated on Spike. "I love you…" Faye whispered as she brought her lips to meet his.
"Ditto." Spike smiled returning the kiss.
"Yeah!" Ed laughed skipping over.
"He's dead!" One of the men shouted.
"Who's going to take over now? It was Spike, who would take lead, but then he left and Vicious took over…" The men looked over at Spike bowing their heads.
"Don't you dare look at me." Spike pointed fingers at his old friends as he broke his kiss with Faye. Out of the corner Shin immerged from his lonely crypt.
"I can do it. Gin was third in command, Julia was fourth, and I the youngest out of us all was fifth. I'm the only one left willing to do this. I'll change things, bring the pain to a stop." Shin smiled at Faye nodding towards her when she mouthed a thank you.
Spike nodded. Stop the war between syndicates, and end the Red Dragon altogether. That's an order from second in command." Spike smirked.
"Ha, yes sir." Shin laughed nodding his head only to have some of his men standing in shock.
"Sir… What are we going to do?" One of the men who helped capture Faye approached him.
"You're all going to start looking for a real job… Think of it as the business is failing." Shin sighed drawing his gun and getting rid or the bullets with the toss of his hand.
"We're fired sir?" The man was taken aback along with the other men.
"Do I have to repeat myself? Vicious is dead, I'm in charge, and I say we're all fired!" Shin was getting a little two over controlling for the moment, but his men dealt with it.
"Yes, sir." They nodded and went on their ways glaring at Spike slightly.
---------------
"Spike…" Julia whispered holding him close to her.
"Yo Spike!" Vicious laughed throwing a football towards him, Julia leaving with Vicious in a hurry.
"Yo man!" Gin yelled waving, Shin staying off in the distance, also waving.
"Spike… I love you Spike, I always be by your side." Faye stepped out of a glowing light taking his darkness away.
"Faye…" Spike brought her forehead to his and looked into her eyes with a smile before gently kissing her on the lips. "I love you too…" Spike laughed as she started to run away saying, tag you're it. 'What I've been missing in my heart, I've had all along, I'll never let her go and I always be by her side, until the end of time, until the day I die, I'll be there for you love… Faye.' Spike started after her as she dodged behind a tree in a park. "You better run!" He shouted with a laugh.
"Eiiahh!" She laughed running in all directions until he grabbed her wrist and dragged her over to him embracing her in a hug. "Spike. Let's go home Spike." Faye smiled kissing him on the neck and letting her head fall onto his chest.
"Home…" Spike repeated; echoing Faye's words. "Home sounds good." Spike laced his fingers around her hand and they walked gingerly back towards their home…
-------------------
Spike had passed out. He awoke to the smell of food, and a faint sizzling in the distance. "Faye?" Spike opened his eyes wide to find himself in the living room on the couch. He tried to sit up until a sharp pain stung his side sending him back down.
"Spike?" Faye's head popped out of the kitchen when she heard his familiar voice. Spike razed an arm gesturing a hello wishing only for his dream to become reality at this very moment. Faye's eyes brightened and she hurried over handing him a cookie.
"Where did you—"
"I baked them myself! I don't know what came over me I just want to bake." Faye smiled happily actully giggling.
"I… Did you just giggle?!" Spike's face went pale in shock.
"This is what happens when you get your girlfriend pregnant, hormones take over and you see a complete opposite side of the woman…" Jet sighed. "The sad thing is she turned out better at cooking than I did. Jet came out of his room with a cookie in hand.
"Yeah, better than Jet person!" Ed skipped down the steps Ein fallowing behind her.
Spike smirked at Ed's comment and took the cookie putting into his mouth smiling in surprise. "You're… You're right." Spike looked up at Faye whose face brightened happily.
"Oh, you like it!" She laughed running back into the kitchen. "Wait until you taste dinner!" She laughed going off into her on little word as she turned on a small radio she had found.
Spike let his head fall back onto the arm rest shaking his head. "I can't understand that woman…" Spike sighed content. 'But I love her… That's all that matters.'
