Buffy and Spike walked through their third cemetery that night. Buffy's cell began playing 'Parent's Just Don't Understand.' She answered it, "Hi mom."-"Patrolling."-"No, Willow's still at the club."-"I'm not alone."-"A guy."-"Shut up!"-"Mom, you're embarrassing me."-"Spike."-"It's a nickname."-"I'll be home later."-"Love you too."-"Bye." She hung up and looked at Spike, "Don't say a word." Spike just smiled and continues walking. Later, Buffy finally asked what had been on her mind, "Who was the song about?"
This caught him of guard, "What?"
"The song. 'My Immortal' I think. Who's it about?"
Spike sat on a tombstone, "Her name was Drusilla."
Buffy stood in front of him, "What happened?"
He sighed, "When I moved here in the middle of my sophomore year, I saved her from a vampire. We were joined at the hip from then on." He pause, he hadn't talked about this since it had happened.
Buffy put her hand on his shoulder, "If you don't want to go on, you don't have to."
Spike placed his hand on hers, "It's okay. One night last year, we were walking in Weatherly Park. A group of vampires ambushed us. While I was being attacked by six of them, Dru was dragged off. Lucky for me that Xander and the others showed. It took us about two hours to track them to their nest. But we were too late. Dru was changed and I ended up staking her myself."
Buffy looked into Spike's crystal blue eyes. Maybe that's why Veruca and the others were happy that Spike seemed interested in me, she thought. She brought her hand to his cheek, "I'm so sorry."
Spike smiled, "It's fine." He stood, "It feels good to get it off my chest."
Buffy walked closer and was about to say something when she elbowed something behind her. She turned, grabbed a stake, and staked the vampire. She yawned, "Can you take me home?"
"Spike nodded, "Sure." They began walking to his cycle. Buffy decided to be brave and linked her hand with Spike's. He looked down at her and smiled. They got on the bike, kissed once, and drove off.
