It wasn't that he was a morbid person. Contrary to what a few counselors had decided.

Well no more morbid then any one else who had dealt with what he went through. It wasn't

some anarchist kind of fashion statement. It was more a wardrobe of convenience. He didn't

have his mother to pick out his clothes anymore, if he wore all black he was less likely to clash

or put on miss-matched socks or some other horrible earth ending fashion fau pa. Like he really

cared. It made doing his laundry pretty easy: not many darks and lights to separate. Mostly his

usual ensemble of black kept away the people who would ask the question he didn't want to

answer and that was convenient. Somewhere inside might have been the thought that he wore

black in mourning for his mother but that thought was buried under coat- like layers of denial.

What to wear, what to wear? She was being forced to go over to the Giles's house. She had decided she would have to look her best. Her mom had specified that she couldn't wear any kind of dress or heals so what did that leave, she was thinking sporty casual. Maybe some bright colors pink and such. That would probably drive the punk crazy.

Spike was wondering through the boxes on the floor of his bedroom trying to find his one of The Smiths cds that he apparently packed a little too well when he swore he heard the door bell. He ignored it, he knew his Dad was downstairs and would get it. It wouldn't be for him anyway. He continued digging through another box when he heard what could only be...her. He groaned and rolled his eyes. He walked to his door which was open a crack and quietly and swiftly closed it. Maybe his dad would leave him alone. Maybe he could get away with....

"William" Spike bit his lip. It was just too much to hope for. Too much to ask to be left alone.

Spike put on his best sneer and headed downstairs to see what torture he was to be put

through today.

To be continued....
