Well, it looks like I was able to get this chapter in. I decided to put it in now because I really didn't wanna wait until the weekend. I apologize if this chapter sucks. I'm really tired right now, but I'll just say that the ending is nothing to worry about. You guys will just have to stick with me. I hope everyone has a good holiday!

Chapter 9

"Why do you need my help with this? I have more important things to do." Harmony rolled her eyes.

"You owe me, Ryan. I know why you broke up with me. I know all about you and Amy, so the least you could do is help me." She said and Ryan let out a sigh. He didn't even know why he ever wasted time with the blonde. He basically only wanted her for her popularity, but he could care less about that now. He would help her out this one time and then really be done with her. "Good, there's the brat now. You have to keep her distracted, until I can get Spike here." Ryan rolled his eyes also as he looked at Harmony.

"I hope you know what you're doing." He told her before he headed to where Buffy was. Harmony knew that she always went to the park on Saturdays. She smiled as she watched Ryan walk away and then pulled out her cell phone. She dialed Spike's number and waited for him to answer. She smiled again when his sexy voice spoke on the other line.

"Spike, it's Harmony. You have to get to the park, something's wrong with Buffy." She said as she tried to sound worried and Spike didn't hesitate before saying that he would be right there. She disconnected the call and watched as Ryan talked to her sister. Things were about to get very interesting.

"I've always been into you, Buffy. That's why it never worked out with your sister. I need a woman that actually has a brain." Buffy was confused as Ryan talked to her. She never liked him and she always thought that he never liked her; something really weird was going on. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me." He said and Buffy raised her eyebrows.

"I'm really flattered and a little confused, but I already have a boyfriend." Buffy told him as she thought about Spike. She hasn't had a chance to talk to him yet since he expressed his feelings to her. Ryan laughed and she was confused again.

"You mean Spike? He's no good for you, Buffy. I know all about him. He's a player; he uses girls and then tosses them. As soon as he sleeps with you, he won't want anything to do with you anymore. I knew a girl that he went with, he left her heartbroken. She slept with him and he didn't even stick around the next morning. You're better than that." Buffy didn't know what to think at this point, but she was finding it hard to believe him.

"Spike isn't like that, you must have heard wrong." Buffy told him and really believed that it was true.

"I'm so glad you're here." Harmony said once Spike showed up. He looked like he ran the whole way there.

"Where's Buffy? Is she okay?" He said as he tried to catch his breath and Harmony gave him a smile.

"She's fine; it was just a false alarm. She already went home." Spike sighed in relief as he rubbed his face.

"That's good then, I think I'll go check on her." He was about to walk away, when Harmony grabbed his arm and turned him back to her.

"She's not going anywhere; I was hoping we could talk." Spike wondered what she could possibly have to say to him, but he didn't have to wonder for long. She grabbed his head and pulled his lips down to hers in a hard kiss.

"Buffy, I think you need to turn around." Buffy didn't know what he was talking about, but when she turned around she felt like her heart would stop. Spike was kissing Harmony in the distance. "I told you he can't be trusted." Ryan said to her and Buffy wouldn't take that as she walked over to them.
Spike pulled away from Harmony with a start. He was about to tell her to keep her lips off of him, when she had a smile on her face. "Oops, looks like we have an audience." Spike turned around to see what she was talking about and saw Buffy standing there. He noticed the hurt look on her face.

"Love, this isn't what it looks like. I didn't want it; she just attacked me when I got here. I thought you were hurt." Buffy shook her head and tried not to let her tears fall.

"You expect for me to believe that? This is the second time you've kissed her. That makes me wonder if she's really the one you've wanted this whole time. Are you just using me to get to my sister?" Spike shook his head and had to make it right somehow.

"You know I would never do that, Buffy. She tricked me into coming here. Don't you see? You're playing right into her hands." He explained and hoped that she believed him.

"I don't know what's real anymore. I trusted you, but I guess that was a mistake." She said as she then took off running in the other direction. Spike watched her go and grew angry as he looked at Harmony. He had to keep telling himself that it wasn't right to hit a girl.

"I want you to stay away from me, you got that?" He didn't wait for a reply as he took off after Buffy. Harmony didn't even flinch at his tone and Ryan hated the fact that he played a part in that deception. He looked at Harmony and once again knew why things didn't work out with them.

"You've done enough, Harm. He'll never want you, he's clearly in love with her and nothing you do can change that. You need to deal with the fact that not every guy wants you. I didn't break up with you because I found someone else, I was just sick of the way that you treat people. You're a manipulative bitch and everyone knows it. I think it's sick that you find pleasure from your own sister's pain. I regret that I even helped you, but I don't owe you anything. We're done, Harmony. I don't want anything to do with you anymore." He then walked away from her, leaving Harmony to stare after him in shock. She didn't care about anything he had to say. She knew that she did the right thing and Spike would soon realize that. He'll realize that Buffy's not the girl for him. Harmony didn't even care that she hurt her sister, but there was a part of her deep down that felt for Buffy. She just chose to ignore it.
