Not Enough
Lewis' gone.
Out of all people, he’s the one.
There is no real pain. He’s out of this world in one finger snap.
The explosion, the awareness of a human body disintegrating.
Spike remembers Lewis’ hopeless last words and disagrees.
This is not okay. It will never be okay.
There’s a scream that reverberates inside him, that breaks his whole world apart.
There is no sound. It’s the emptiness of what will never return. There’s no one out there. In his silent grief, he is alone.
The echo doesn’t leave. There’s a figure in Spike’s life that’s disappeared.
The figure of a friend. The best friend he’s ever had.
There’s nothing to say. There are no excuses to give. Spike blames himself for what happened and yet he knows that he probably wouldn’t have been able to change one thing.
His head’s burning, his hands are trembling, his body’s breaking, his soul’s dying. No friendly arms can make the pain go away.
Spike finally manages to see beyond himself and finds a team full of mates who understand him. Good, caring people who share the way he feels right now.
And for the first time ever, they won’t be enough.
The End.
