And THAT's why the call it statutory rape. Poor Buffy, so young, so trusting, so confused. She can't keep up with all the swings back and forth, can't truly comprehend why Spike can't just let it all go and be with her somehow. Just terrible for him to have started this with her, especially once he knew her father just left. Anyway, it's a wonderful story, and I love the drama, the angst, the sweetness, and the hurt. Thanks for telling it in such a talented way. I really am enjoying this one very much. Well, on to read the rest, which I'm sure will be just as much fun.

My heart is officially broken. They didn't have to break up for ever, did they? They could have taken a break until school's over, right? Damn it! Poor Buffy. I guess she could have been a little more understanding of Spike's situation, but it's true that when you're getting your heart broken, logic flies out the window. And in her defense, Spike didn't seem like he even tried finding a solution. But he's scared so I'll forgive him for this one.

This is a great story keep writing

please please please, post another chapter tonight, ill be forever grateful

Damn, that chapter needed a major hanky warning.Very powerful writing. Could feel every emotion that was going through them both. Maybe after she turns eighteen they can get back together...if Spike does some major grovelling?

Tears. I loved how you used some dialogue of episodes. It was really heart breaking. Thank you for writing.
