The blond vampire gripped the back of a chair. Tears of blood rolled down his cheeks. Across the room sobbed a redhead her face in her hands.
<Baby, we've been in and out of love so many
times
We keep reaching the end of the line
And giving up on each other
And darling, I don't think we can survive one more
goodbye
Can't cry one more tear or lie one more lie
We got one last chance to make
But that's all we need if we just take it>
"Willow, why?" Spike choked though his tears. "Why are you giving up on us?" His body shook as his unbeating heart was braking.
"You lied," Willow sobbed. She felt her a pain in her chest. Her heart felt as if it was being ripped from her.
He hung his head. "I wanted to protect you." He looked up, tears flowed down his cheeks. "I just wanted to protect you." Spike pleaded. "You were under her spell," he sobbed.
"And that gave you the right to kill her!" Willow screamed. "She was a friend!"
"Tara wasn't, she lied to us all!" Spike screamed back. "Then was she going to kill you?"
<Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
Cause I know what we got is worth fighting for
And I know for sure
Right or Wrong
This is where we belong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Stand together
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love.>
"How did you know?" Willow sobbed.
"Cause she dechipped me." Spike walked across to her. He took Willow's hands in his. "She wanted me to kill the lot of you."
"No, she wouldn't." Willow whispered.
"She was working for someone in the Watcher's Council." Spike pulled the redhead into an embrace.
<Baby, after everything we put each other
through
And no matter what damage we do.
We still need one another
And sometimes when I hold you in my arms somehow I
see
As bad as we've been that's how good we can be
But we can't just say we want it
Gotta lay all our tomorrows on it>
Willow's body shook, as she sobbed. Spike ran his hand though her hair. "What a pair we are?" He whispered.
<For all the dues we've paid
The magic we two made
For all we've meant to one another
Once and for all we've gotta stand up for each
other>
Willow slowly stopped sobbing. "Love you, blondie." Willow looked at Spike with red eyes.
"Love you forever." Spike gently kissed her. Willow groaned, as they kissed.
<Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
Cause we know what we got is worth fighting for
And we know for sure
Right or wrong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Now or never
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love >
"But why did you turn me? To rescue me?" Willow frowned, as she broke the kiss.
"I could not survive without you." Spike kissed her again. "And I don't care what's right or wrong."
"Thanks for making sure I kept my soul." They kissed again.
