I agree with Liz. There is a big possibility that Spike and Dru are not really together. I could actually imagine Dru grabbing every opportunity to cling on to Spike whenever she could just to make it appear that they ARE together. She orchestrated the scheme after all. What Spike did for Buffy in the class was a clear sign that the walls that he built around his heart were beginning to crumble. Hopefully my speculations are right and Spike will soon realize how wrong he really was. Please hurry up with the update, can't wait to see what will happen next!

Dru and Riley should learn how to butt out. Can't wait til the next update!

I do believe that this story has taken an angsty turn that is becoming ubearable but I'm taking your word for it that things are gonna end well. I don't believe that Spike cheated on Buffy in this chapter (so far) because he broke it up with Buffy first when he left her at Riley's place . I believe he'd said that they (Riley and Buffy )belong together so technically they're not together anymore when he kissed Dru. I also believe that the kiss has no meaning at all and inspite of his neediness at that time he had managed to resist Dru when she asked him to go with her. I also don't believe that they are together. Although Dru might be WITH her when they arrived, it might only be because they belong to the same class. Spike didn't really answer her question when she was asked about it. That being said, I'd like to say that how much I still love this story and I couldn't wait till these two kids patch up.

oh goody. i dont think i couldve taken any more angst! put them back together already! i want my happy ending! :) another great chappie. more please.

This chappy is sooo sad. I was trying to hold back from crying and then I saw the video you recommended :-( I could practically feel their heartaches just by reading this chap. But I still love it! Hope you would post soon.

I actually feel like there should be more angst. I think Buffy has reason to be really angry with him and I don't think she should take him back right away once he figures out what happened. He thought the worst of her, didn't trust her, didn't give her a chance to even talk to him, and then went running back to his ex-girlfriend? I'd need some time to get over that. I'll be kind of disappointed if she keeps begging for forgiveness and he finally accepts and they get back together. Buffy didn't do anything wrong and if Spike thought she'd do that then he doesn't deserve to be with her right now.

I feel so bad for Buffy. So glad that the angst ends here...I hope. Overall it was a great chapter! Can't wait for more!

I´m completely puzzled. I wasn´t the only one completely annoyed by this idiotic turn, and instead of fixing it, you´re making it even worse with Spike/Dru. What, is that retaliation? The more pissed of we get, the more angst you throw in? Well, thanks for being so giving. I have followed every chapter, really adoring the story, but I don´t understand this...

THAT BASTARD. THAT RAT BASTARD THAT WAS REALLY NICE TO HER IN THAT CLASS. BUT STILL! *pouts* How could he even think of doing that with Dru? Yes, Buffy's naive and stupid for even letting herself get into that position with Riley and not tinking about the repercussions, but still!
