She looked into his eyes. He looked so wonderful, but she had made her decision.
"Spike. . .I. . .I can't say it back, not yet" she said.
"What?" he said surprised. "What do you mean?"
"I. . . don't love you, not yet anyway, it's too soon, I'm sorry" she said quietly.
"Well. . .fine whatever" he said looking away embarrassed.
"Spike I-" Buffy began, but he cut her off.
'No, I shouldn't of said it anyway, I just said it so you'd sleep with me, that's all I'm interested in" he said harshly. She looked at him stunned. This was not the man she knew, but then again, she really didn't know him.
"I'm sorry" she said again, he got up and walked away. "Where are you going?"
"Home, find your own way back" he said and then got into his car and drove away, wheels screeching. Tears formed in Buffy's eyes as she got up and started to walk to a payphone to call her mom. She really hated hurting Spike's feelings, but it was true, she didn't love him, or at least not yet. He took her new very badly and she wondered if he would ever talk to her again, if he would ever forgive her. She called her mom and she arrived ten minutes later to find her daughter completely stricken. Buffy was completely sobbing now. She couldn't take her mind off Spike and what he said to her. His kind words, his warm hands. She didn't move when her mom arrived. Just sat there sobbing. Joyce got out of the car to comfort her daughter.
"Sweetie, what happened, did Spike do something to you?" Joyce asked as she held her eldest daughter.
"No" Buffy sniffled. "He told me he loved me."
"He what, already, what did you say?" Joyce asked.
"I didn't say it back" Buffy sobbed. "He hates me now."
"Oh honey I'm so sorry, but sweetie you can't force yourself to love someone. . . it takes time, patience" Joyce told her.
"Some people fall in love right away" Buffy said looking at her mother with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, some people, but baby, it's okay if you're not one of those people. . .it may seem like the end of the world, but I promise you, given time and everything will turn out okay" Joyce told her. Buffy laid her head back on her mother's shoulder and began crying again. She couldn't face Spike now. She felt so desperate for an answer. She felt helpless.
