Chase

His breathing picked up heavily as he could feel himself slipping back into the consciousness he had been wishing for.

Hoping for.

Craving, even.

Since the second Spike had begun to take over.

It had been weeks.

Weeks since he had finally been in full control of himself.

He was almost scared to open his eyes.

Terrified, to be exact.

That Spike was just staying quiet for the moment.

That when he finally pushed his eyes open. When he dared to look up and see the blue sky for himself.

That Spike would be back.

That his evil, over controlling alter ego, would take back over.

Would make sure that he was really gone for good.

Just because it was calm now, didn't mean that the storm wasn't still brewing deep inside of him.

Spike?

He dared, wondering just where he was.

Spike? Where did you go?

Please answer.

I'm not good with silence.

I can't take it when someone won't respond.

You know that better than anyone.

You know me better than anyone.

And I know you.

Even though I don't like who you've become.

I don't like the silence even more.

Please just tell me.

Tell me what your next move is.

Tell me if I can stay.

Because that's all I really want.

I want to live.

Probably just as badly as you do.

I want to be out in the world.

With or without the people I love.

I know what you did damaged a few things.

I know that it may all be broken beyond repair.

I may not be able to fix things this time.

But the least I can do is say sorry.

I can tell them that the real bone deep meaning of the truth you told, was true.

That Leo is and always will be my brother.

That best friend is a term used too loosely and doesn't truly describe what we are.

But he does take my position on the team from time to time.

That Adam, no matter how many times he tosses me around, calls me names, or anything else he does, is my brother.
