Spike looked at Buffy for a moment before deciding to confess "Buffy love before you make any decisions there something you all should know that may change everything. You know when I told you why I didn't contact you well there another reason. When I came back my soul didn't make the journey with me and I know how you feel about that "spike looked at the floor convinced he was now going to get thrown out he groaned quietly when he saw xander stand up.
"I know we have never really been friends but you have done a lot of good and even when we all treated you like we did despite our treatment, you were still willing to help so for that reason. I say that im going to give you a chance."
Spike smiled at him then looked at Buffy nervously sure that this were he got thrown out. Buffy looked at him guiltily. "Spike I no longer care about that im just happy you're back so maybe I can make up some of what I put you through "she said quietly.
.
Spike was silent for a moment thinking "well what exactly do you want are we going to go back to what it was two years ago" spike asked suddenly worried. . "God no I was wondering if you would give me another chance, even though I don't deserve it maybe this time I can get it right".
Buffy turned away so nobody would see that she was nearly in tears, when she had got control of herself she realised there was one way she could start making it up to spike she turned to the gang.
"Ok you all know by now after wills brought me back I basically withdrew and started to sleep with spike. She gave a harsh laugh well I wouldn't exactly call it sleeping.
" I used to take everything from dawn was rude to me to xander wouldn't stop talking about the wedding out on spike. Do you remember the bruises he had at my birthday that year, that was my work three weeks before? The reason he tried to talk me out of turning myself in then to make it worse I just left him there.
Buffy looked at the floor in shame spike walked over to Buffy " slayer love its ok I forgave you a long time ago cause I knew you weren't yourself and even if I hadn't what you just told me about the first would have done it." Buffy began to cry "well what do you want to do have you forgiven me enough to start again or are you going to leave.
Spike looked at her in disbelief for a moment "l slayer think about it if you couldn't get me to leave when I was trying to help after you were brought back what makes you think I'm going to leave now if you really believe that I think you've had one too many punches to the head." spike informed her bluntly.
Buffy couldn't help it she began to laugh it was just typically spike saying what he thought whether she liked it or not. She laughed harder when she saw the offended look on spikes face "I'm sorry it just it been awhile id forgotten how blunt you could be." she explained spike grinned "its ok. Love I think we really need to talk and work out what we going to do" spike suggested quietly.
