The night was going well, everyone had eaten and reminisced about past friends and the good times at SRU, no one mentioned the day because as far as everyone was concerned it's done and that's it, it wasn't going to ruin today, everyone was now sitting in different parts of the garden just having general chit chat, the barbeque was off now and it was just nibbles sitting on the table and most of the men had a beer to hand, except Greg, who had stuck to soft drinks.

Spike was sitting on the decking step watching everyone whilst taking a sip of his beer, he could only think the only way this could be any better is if Lou was still around to be here with them. He saw Ed and Sam laughing at something Wordy just said and Greg was sitting with Jules whilst the rest of the girlfriends and wives stuck together at the table, he noticed how the bottle of wine is slowly disappearing.

He looked over and noticed how Elizabeth and Charlie had been sitting in the corner all night and whenever she stood up, he did too and then continued to follow her round, and the whole night he couldn't help but see how deflated she was and part of him was starting to realise it was him doing that, she was so different when she was introducing herself.

She caught him looking over, she shot a small smile and before he had the chance to he saw him say something to her, and she looked down. Spike decided he'd go over.

"Hey Guys." Spike said taking a seat next to Elizabeth; the bench was placed in the corner of the garden looking out at everyone.

"Hey, Spike…" She sounded nervous, he couldn't work it out.

Charlie didn't say a word but he saw his fist tense up.

"You guys ok? You've been sitting over here a while now." He chuckled.

"Yeah, just don't really know many people." She said giving him a quick glance.

"Well you know, they don't bite…best thing to do is mingle, plus you're Greg's daughter so you're pretty much family by default." He smiled at her.

"Yeah why don't you go over, we'll be over in a minute." Charlie almost snapped.

"It's ok, I can wait until you're both ready." Spike challenged him.

He saw Elizabeth tense though and saw how Charlie's fist turned into a fisted rock on his knee, Dean was definitely right about not liking him there was something nagging at Spike about this guy and he could not work it out.

Seeing how uncomfortable it was making Elizabeth, Spike decided he would go mingle but he kept an eye on them for a while, he was talking to Ed when he noticed them both stand about half an hour later.

Charlie seemed annoyed he was almost in her face, Spike knew it wasn't his business to get involved but then he saw how hard he grabbed her wrist and how she flinched at the tiny movement and then he decided it was enough.

"Hey is there a problem here." Spike asked, looking directly at Charlie.

"No, all good thanks." Charlie stared at him.

"Charlie please, just leave." Elizabeth pleaded.

"No, you're coming with me." Charlie said as he went to grab her arm again.

Spike stepped in the middle of them to block the move; at this point both men were standing in front of each other eye's glaring into each other daring each other to make a move.

"No offence, but this hasn't got a thing to do with you." Charlie snarled.

"She asked you to leave." Spike said back.

With that Ed saw the altercation between the two men and make a quick move across the garden to them.

"A problem here guys." Ed said calmly.

"No Ed, Charlie is just leaving." Spike stated.

Charlie didn't take his eyes of Spike, Elizabeth was still pleading for him to leave. Charlie took a quick glance between Spike and Ed and with that turned around to walk out of the door. It didn't go unnoticed the evil look he gave Elizabeth as he did.

Ed gave a Spike a confused look when Spike shook his head as if to say leave it for now, which he did as he smiled at Elizabeth and walked away, Spike turned round to Elizabeth and took on a sympathetic look as he saw her watery eyes.

"Sit down." He gestured towards the seat.

"I'm sorry" She said.

"It's not your fault, what was all that about?" He asked.

"He…he doesn't like you, he thinks you're flirting with me all the time." She decided to be truthful.

"Oh." Spike didn't really know what to say to that he barely knew her.

"He just gets jealous sometimes; he loves me and doesn't want to lose me." She said.

Spike scoffed, he couldn't hold it in. He regretted it immediately because the glare she was giving him was terrifying.

"Look just forget, you're like the rest of them, no one believes in us and I'm sick of it. My dad, Dean and obviously now you, you might not like him but I do." She said and she stormed off in doors.

Spike just said there a little bewildered by what just happened, he knew he should probably apologise but it wouldn't stop the nagging feeling about Charlie, something about him wasn't right.
