The Vampire Slayer Diaries

Him

Spike had returned to the Northman household, and it's been a stressful event. He had been sleeping in one of our basement rooms for three days, going on four.

 I didn't know how Olivia was going to react to this, but she seemed very excited her parents were back together, she was upstairs. 

Spike was standing close to the stairs turned to look in the living room where we all were at. Buffy and Dawn sat on the couch, Xander was on the arm of it. Even though Buffy and I were at kind of odds with each other, I wasn't going to be impolite or less like a friend.

"You're staying in the basement" Nick said standing beside us with his arms crossed. 

"Nikolai Northman." I muttered cutting him off, rolling my eyes. "He is not staying in the basement; he's been down there for three days, it's time to rip the bandage off and jump in, besides this is his house too."

I felt Spike's eyes on me. 

"I'm just saying." Nick retorted. "We're running low on food."

"And we will restock it again tomorrow." I told him sternly. "It was never a problem before."  

"I mean considering he only drinks blood." Buffy told Nick. "I think you'll be fine."

"Don't want your soddin food anyway." Spike told him walking closer to me.

"Jag förstår bara inte varför du hjälper honom" Nick added making everyone look at him.  (I just don't understand why you're helping him)

"För att han behöver mig" I told him gently. (Because he needs me)

"Vad han behöver är en påle genom hjärtat" (what he needs is a stake through the heart)

My eyes narrowed at my little brother taking that as a threat, I had to remind myself this kid was my brother. 

"Titta på dig själv Nicky" I told him growling, everyone looked at me but I ignored them.  (watch yourself Nicky) "vad är med dig, jag trodde att du var cool med honom nu?" (What is with you, I thought you were cool with him now)

The conversation Nick and I were having seemed to be growing louder and full of anger. 

"Uhh...guys." Buffy muttered. 

" Det var innan lyfte och lämnade dig med ett barn eller kommer du inte ihåg det?" Nick said angrily. (That was before he took off and left you with a child or do you not remember that?)

"Guys?" Dawn said gently. 

"Spike gick för att få tillbaka sin själ, för mig, för vår familj, han har riskerat sitt liv"" I exclaimed rather loud and defensively growling. " Jag tänker inte vända ryggen till eller överge honom när han behöver mig"

(Spike went to get his soul back, for me, for our family, I'm not going to turn my back or abandon him when he needs me.)

"Guess we don't have to guess who they're talking about." Xander told the others. 

"Hellre du gillar det eller inte, han är min kompis" I added glaring at my brother. (Rather you like it or not he is my mate.)

"Mate?" Nick asked scoffing in English, glaring Spike down. "What the hell kind of mate is he? He tried to kill you for years! He abandoned you before Liv was even born... You might not remember the last couple of months or what happened on our trip but I do. You were so heartbroken none of us knew what to do, not even Angel. I know you tried to pretend to be okay for Olivia's sake but I heard you every night when you thought you were alone... He broke you." 

Buffy and Xander looked at me in surprise of that news, while Dawn looked at Nick and Spike stared at me frowning, he had a harden look on his face but his eyes held guilt.
