Summary: Buffy is outraged that Willow wants to take the only thing that
makes her feel at peace and goes to Spike. He promises he'll do whatever he
can to help Buffy to be happy.
~*Chapter 3: This I Promise You*~
Buffy steps into the kitchen and lets out a yawn. She walked back home from Spike's with the need for sleep still intact.
"Hey Wills"
Buffy walks to the opposite doorway and freezes. "Will?"
"I saw you at Spike's."
"How?" Buffy asks as she faces Willow by the counter.
"You were missing so I went to see if he saw you."
"I'm sorry Wills, I just-"
"Why won't you let us in, Buffy? What was so bad that you have to turn to Spike?"
"He's not that bad Wills."
"See my Buffy would never say that."
"You don't know what it was like to be where I was. You don't know the pain."
Buffy was near tears and she looked pitifully at the floor.
"We're your friends, Buff. You don't need to go to Spike. You've been different. You have to talk to us instead of creeping over to Spike's."
Buffy immediately looked up. "No I will not let you take away the only thing that makes any sense to me."
"Spike isn't good for you, Buffy."
"I never said he was but he's the only one who understands me. The only one who doesn't expect anything of me."
"Do you love him?"
"What?! No Will, it's not like that. He's just..convenient."
"Buffy I know you're not in a good place but you have priorities, you need to come back to us." Buffy walked away and went up to her room leaving Willow to herself.

"Ello, pet"
Spike walked up to Buffy and sat down on the couch. "Care to sit down, luv?"
All that was heard from her in response was a sigh as she sat down and faced him.
"What's the matter?"
"I don't know. I just feel like, like I'm spending all my time trying to be okay, so no one'll worry. It's exhausting, and then I get all ..."
"And that just makes 'em worry even more. Want me to take 'em out? Give me a hell of a head ache but I could probably thin the herd a little."
She smiles and without thinking places her head on his shoulder. "They want me to be happy. All smiles and laughs."
"Well than I'll do anything to make you happy, if I can."
"You already are."
"That so?"
"More than you know."
"How's that?"
"By being here."
"I always will be. Whatever you need, I'm your vamp."
