Happy New Year to you too!
Poor Spike: His mother knew about the abuse and didn't help him? That's very very sad. Gives William indeed the impression to be worthless.
When Buffy asked about Ethan it was too late. The clam closed up again. Better to let Spike go.
Author's Response: Yeah, was nothing else she could do at that point. Thank you so much for reviewing!

I've said it before - but - oh poor Spike.! horrible Ethan, and Horrible mother. I really hope he can let Buffy in a bit more. I think that his talking about a trauma like that will help.
Author's Response: It probably would. Thanks for reviewing!

Author's Response: *lol* Of course she is! :) Thank you!

Nice that they are getting closer, starting to trust eachother.
Author's Response: Yeah, we'll see how that will turn out. :) Thanks for reviewing!

That dream was just... how Spike's mom just walked away... Terrible.
I can see why Spike acted like he did, and I'm happy that he didn't begin to scream at Buffy like the last time. Glad to see that B seems to have learned something too.
This is just getting better and better.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! :)

Amazing chapter, I love that Buffy is kinda seeing that something happened in Spike's past. I can't wait to read the next chapter.
Author's Response: Next chap will probably be up tomorrow or day after. Thank you!

I think it's about time Spike found a more effective way to deal with his problems b/c whatever he's doing is clearly not working for him, and this is really no way for a person to live. I hope he starts making real progress soon!
Author's Response: Hopefully he will. Thanks for reviewing!

I've been so bad about reviewing over the holidays! I've really enjoyed the last couple of chapters, and this one is just awesome too.
"Buffy released her grip on his arm, but instead of letting him go completely, she let her hand slowly run down his arm until she reached his hand and squeezed it gently. “Did someone hurt you?”
Breaks my heart, it really does. I know Spike's not ready yet, but for sure Buffy's exactly what he needs to heal his poor abused heart. I'm just loving both of these characters, and the story.
Author's Response: Actually, it breaks my heart to write it as well but, oh well... I'm so glad you're still enjoying this story, thank you!

Wished Spike trusted Buffy enough to confide in her. More please!
Author's Response: Maybe he will, but not yet. More coming soon. Thanks for reviewing!

Wow I just love how you're putting everything together... It's reallt cool and you've done it before, great job! So, so sad scene with Spike though as child... Hate, hate, hate Ethan! I really hope he'll get punished. amazing job!
Author's Response: I'm sure Ethan will get what he deserves eventually. ;) Thanks for reviewing! :)

Wow great chapter! But what a place to leave us! Too mean!! Have a great New Year and thanks for this fic :)
Author's Response: I know it was an evil place to stop. Sorry. :) Thank you so much for reviewing!

The more I read, the more I want to do what Buffy just tried to do: wrap in her arms & tell it's okay. Excellent chapter...or as excellent as it can be when it talks about abuse of that magnitude.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it, thanks! :)

Date: 12/31/2007 - 11:51 am Title: 12
okay, that's twice that spike has blown up at buffy without gvinng her a reason for it. of course, this time was more mild than the last. ummmm.....wow. yeah, i really hope buffy finds out what happened to spike soon. he needs someone. as much as he put on this big show of how he doesn't, he NEEDS someone!!! oh and of course as always, xander is a jerk. i ca only imagine what he's gonna say when he finds out that spike slept in her room cuz of course he's gonna find out and say something ignorant. great job. have a happy NEW YEAR!!! please post soon.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'll update again in a few days.

this is such a powerful story and I want to hide behind my hands sometimes and you make it so that we know it won't be easy for Buffy to get through to him, more realistic that way. More please
Author's Response: More coming up soon. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 12/31/2007 - 08:38 am Title: 12
almost! hope he'll open soon! we all need that!
Author's Response: Thank you for the review!

Sorry.. must have glossed over the last part...
She did touch him... at least gentle-- but a little too much when she said.. “Did someone hurt you?”
For him.. Too degrading .. now she knows and will feel only pity.. never love. His cover of bravado is blown. Sad..
Have a bad habit of skimming .. then coming back and rereading for detail.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing, again. :)

Date: 12/31/2007 - 06:44 am Title: 12
Sad... but at least Buffy was smart enough to know not to touch or not to demand too much at this point.
Can't see him allowing her close access anytime soon..
Enjoyed..
Author's Response: Thank you! :)
