So far, I'm really liking this story, so keep on writing please! :D

Hey, it's me again. I hope this is okay for me to write?
Mac 1 brings up an interesting point: I had to place a friend into a 5150 situation some years ago. Even then, it was a sticky wicket to say the least.
I had to literally carry the girl (thank God she was petite) up to the hospital door and then sign papers for a 72 hour hold.
(She took pills and drank and went ballistic at our place so.....)
Anyway, here's the jist: This is California and I live here (I've a feeling Mac 1 does also) and it is very, very difficult to put anyone in a 72 hour hold or 5150 anymore.
Even family members are pretty well out of the loop in this.
Usually (and I noticed you mentioned this Suzee) it's the patient that has to sign papers for themselves after they have 'calmed' down a bit.
Anyway, great story and I hope you update soon!

I'm glad Buffy's okay. I hope it goes well for them! Update soon please!

I'm really looking forward to finding out how William's hospital visit with Buffy goes, if he even gets the chance to see her that is. Good update.

Again I say 'Go Spike Go'! I'm so excited to see what happens when he gets to the hospital. How will their first meeting go? Argh! *bounce, bounce*

Great chapter!! Please update soon I can't wait to read what happens next!!!

can't wait to see buffy's reaction to all of this

Speaking with someone from the psychiatric members or the psychiatric unit for rehabilitation will be good for Buffy. ~ Yeah.. Spike had left her and moved on (for a while?) but Buffy made him go. Now we have to wait and see what will happen now.

Hummm...wonder if they'll let him see her?

So Spike to the rescue (emotionally anyway since Giles already did the physical rescue). And when he gets there, hew gonna be turned away by his own brother? That's cold Rupert! Maybe he should let Spike and Buffy work out their own probs?. Love the tale, more please.

Love your story. Please don't leave us hanging. I am pzzled about the one day hold the doctor mentioned to her parents. He should be talking about a 72 hour hold (5150 hold it's called) for a known attempted suicide. Also, be careful how much information the doctor reveals to anyone other than Buffy herself. The new confidentiality laws are very strict and hospitals especially always err on the side of caution when telling anyone anything at all about a patient's medical or psychiatric condition unless they have written approval from the patient to do so. So be sure they don't just become a fountain of information to anyone who asks aside from a legal guardian. They can only reveal what is necessary to reveal, and only to those people who have to know, and no more. I too am looking forward to seeing Spike arrive, and to how the 'rents react to him now that they have more information about their relationship. And Buffy is messed up -- it's gonna take some time before she's anything like ready to be in a relationship with someone. She's got a lot of problems, deep problems. I am encouraged by your start of this chapter as 'Part III' -- it looks like you might be fixing to get to the bottom of her problems and then pull the two together at last. But that's me -- tell your story your way and I'll be here reading it. Like I said, I like it. Thanks. :-)

cant wait till he gets there!
