AN: There were a couple or reasons why I had Spike attempt to rape Buffy. One is because it fit into the challenge well. The other was I was so PISSED OFF when Joss Whedon pulled out the whole "love your rapist" storyline in season seven. So Buffy's rantings in this chapter towards Spike is my reaction towards him also, but put in totally different terms. Mine involved a lot of cussing and somehow, I don't think it would have been the best thing in the world to post. I don't like to curse and I don't often, but that storyline PISSED ME OFF!

Angel tensed as soon as those words registered on him. He pulled Buffy closer to him. This wasn't about comforting her anymore, no, this was about protecting her.
He whispered words of comfort to Buffy as she cried herself to sleep. But he was lost in his thoughts about what he was going to do to Spike when he saw him again. It wasn't gong to be a polite hello either.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Angel woke with a start. He couldn't remember where he was at first, but then remembered to events of last time. Getting a call from Buffy, getting a plane, finding Buffy at the Bronze, and her telling him about Spike.
Spike.
Oh, that boy was going to get it.
"God, you're hard to wake up," he heard Buffy say.
"Sorry," Angel replied. "Just had trouble sleeping."
"Don't blame you," Buffy stated, with a hint of a smile. "What with it being one in New York when I called you, then going back in time to around nine. Gotta be tolling."
"Still," Angel replied. "I'm sorry."
Buffy nodded. She climbed up on her bad, hesitated a minute before sitting down closely to Angel. If Angel noticed the hesitation, he didn't say anything about it. He just let her get comfortable.
"Thank you," Buffy said. "For coming. I needed you."
"I told you, anytime you needed me I would come," Angel insisted.
"Buffy! Honey?" Joyce Summers yelled up the stairs. "Spike's here!"
Both Angel and Buffy tensed at the name. Buffy looked p fearfully at Angel and looked back down at her with softness in his eyes. "I didn't tell mom about- She doesn't know you're here either."
"Do you want me to go down with you?" Angel asked.
"I don't want to go down at all," Buffy replied, hugging Angel tighter to herself. "Angel, I'm too scared."
"I know," Angel whispered. "I know, but- you have to see him. Face-to-face. It helps to see them again. It helps you to realize that you didn't do anything wrong. That they did. It gives you a power over them, seeing the like that."
"You sound like a shrink," Buffy laughed bitterly.
"I had to counsel some people for work credits," Angel stated.
"Only if you go with me."
"I have something to settle with this guy," Angel insisted.
Buffy dressed out of last night's clothes while Angel used the bathroom to change into a new shirt also. Then they walked down the stairs together.
"Angel!" Joyce cried. "I didn't know you were here!"
"Got in late last night Joyce," Angel replied, his eyes focused on Spike and the two boys with him. "Brought your posse with you I see, Spike."
"Spike," Buffy stared coldly at him. "What do you want?"
{{ I want to make you scream}}
"I wanted to check on you," Spike replied, playing the concerned man well. "You took off so suddenly, I wasn't sure."
"I'm fine," Buffy said emotionlessly. "Your back okay? You know, when I pushed you off of me?"
Spike looked taken aback. He nodded to Riley and Forrest and they left. Joyce looked around the room, confused.
"Mom, could you leave us alone for a minute?" Buffy asked. "I have some things to discuss with Spike."
Joyce nodded hesitantly, but left. She could tell something was seriously wrong.
"You have no right to be here," Buffy said.
"Buffy, I'm sorry," Spike said, looking like he was going to cry. Buffy could tell it was fake, though. "I didn't mean it. I just- I just snapped. I'm obsessed with you. I love you. I hope that, even though, we can still find a way. That you can love me again."
"Oh!" Buffy yelled. "You're SORRY! Oh my god, glad we had this talk! Angel you can go home now because my attempted RAPIST is SORRY! God, you're sick, Spike. GET OUT of my house NOW!"
Spike backed away at her rage. Angel stepped towards Spike but Buffy stopped him.
"I'm not finished with you yet!" Buffy shouted at Spike. "I can't even believe you had that nerve to some HERE, to my HOUSE and ask for forgiveness. You're a monster. You're vile, and sick, and I HATE you! And you JUST SNAPPED?! Well, I've just snapped! We're over, and I never want to see you again! YOU GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW!"
Spike looked enraged now. He took a step towards Buffy, but Angel blocked him. This time, Buffy made no move to stop Angel.
"I believe, the woman said to get out," Angel growled dangerously.
"What?" Spiked sneered. "I don't get walked to the door?"
"Let me show you the way OUT!" Angel yelled, throwing Spike back into the heavy front door. Spike cracked his head against the door. It wasn't deep enough to seriously hurt him, but a thin red line of blood discolored his white hair.
Angel picked Spike up again, tore open the front door and threw him down the front steps. Spike rolled off into the yard.
"Bloody hell!" he yelled at Angel
"Stay the hell away from her," Angel said.
Angel walked back into the house, leaving the bruised Spike in the yard.
