There's gonna be a fight

[ilikejourney]

I knew I should have left the party once Lucy walked away, but something told me to stay. Regretting it, horribly now because for one, I didn’t know anyone and two … that’s just it. I didn’t know anyone, these people were crazy and for some reason, I just kept on staying. At least there was alcohol. And I hated to drink but right now, it was a

I was trying to forget about the whole Helena thing. I was obviously hallucinating or something. Sometimes that happened, you know? Every once in awhile I would catch sight of a tall brunette and for a second I would think it was her but than I'd focus and realize that it wasn't. So how was I distracting myself? By drinking a lot with my friends and throwing things at Spike. A girl has got to have some fun

I kept a straight face with the little bint because I was her teacher. 'Sides, I wanted her to get riled up, haven't had a good go about in awhile. Buffy's been busy. Grabbin' the bowl 'o chips, I chucked them at her and that made her ball her little fists up oh so tightly and she was about to get me good. I was ready for it. Instead, someone else got me, not quite as good, but it got my attention

He had me down and I tried to get him off of me, but it wasn't working. Then he finally got off and I sat up a little and looked at Lucy. Wait, I didn't understand for one and two ... why didn't anyone try to help this girl.

"What's going on?" I asked, pissed off and confused. I could have took him. Or yeah, tried to. He didn't scare me, that was for sure. I went at him again and Lucy grabbed me, pulling me back with force that ... was unbelievable. I got shoved back into the wall and I glared at her.

"He was trying to hurt you, I was just ..." trying to help. But, obviously, she didn't need help, because ... she liked being hurt?

The blonde guy just smiled and grabbed another bowl of chips and started eating them and I looked at Lucy again.

"I should go."

"Nope...." I whispered as Ryan went at Spike again. He was in way over his head and I had the feeling that Ryan didn't even know anyone here. It was nice that he was looking out for me...or whatever but I wasn't the kind of girl that needed looking after. I could take care of myself. Better than he could, obviously

Her brother?

Friends?

Old friends?

What they go way back? I was confused- even more so and I just wanted to get out of here, but she didn't want me to. And with her not really wanting me to go, I didn't really want to go, but I didn't want to be around here, or him, or ... just here.

Glancing over at ... Spike .... I shook my head when she said he was kind of an idiot and from the smile on his face, he wasn't exactly fighting it. He came over though and walked up behind her, telling her that he'd see her in class on Monday. Wait, he was her teacher? Or were they just ...

Okay, a little more confused now.

"Come on, let's ... move from this area ... I mean, if you want," I said and looked at her and nodded out the window, toward the beach. I figured we could hang out for a little longer before I had to get back ... to nothing.

"Shut up, Spike." I hissed out at him as he walked up behind me and told me he'd see me in class, with a chuckle. Asshole. Why did vampires always have to be such jerks? Well, I guess that probably just goes with the territory

"Yeah ... uh, better," I said and looked around. Nice and quiet and ... alone. I noticed the bottle of bacardi in her hand and just ... looked at it, I guess before looking back up at her. She had a smile on her face, but just seconds before, she seemed so nervous. There was nothing to be nervous about and well, it was kind of my job to be nervous. Leaning back against the wall, I shrugged

"No. He's definitely not my older brother." I clarified for him. Even though I couldn't blame him for being confused considering the spaz I had turned into for a second. It was just that it was weird....having a guy rush to my defense like that. Especially when I could probably break this guy in half with my pinky finger. I didn't need anyone to defend me against Spike but it was nice that Ryan had tried anyways. "We're just old friends. Sometimes we get to horsing around and just get carried away. Sorry about that. He can be a jerk sometimes

[ilikejourney]

For some reason there was something about Spike. I don't know. Maybe it was just because he was able to horse around with her like that. Old friends. Okay, I wasn't jealous. There was nothing to be jealous of, especially not of him, but maybe there was jealousy toward the whole situation. I used to have friends that I could horse around with and it was fine, but now, those days are pretty much gone and instead of me thinking about them every five minutes, maybe I should try to do something else for a change

[darkersideofyou]

There was something about him that made me pause, and I couldn't really figure out just what it was. He wanted to say something but he wasn't letting himself and I didn't know why. He said he didn't believe but then he stopped himself like maybe he did believe he was just too afraid to think about it, or to admit it. It looked like I wasn't the only one who'd played a hand and lost. That's life though, right? Or death. Whatever

It wasn't stupid, I was just curious as to why she was asking me that question. I hoped she wasn't going to do anything stupid, but something inside of me just had a feeling she wouldn't do something like that. Then again, I could be wrong. It happens. Sometimes too often. Leaning back against the wall, I glanced over at the beach, with the bonfire and then turned my attention back to her. I just watched her, watching them. Did she want to be out there? Honestly, I was alot better where I was at
