An's: Not a long chapter I know, but where would a PR fic be without it's token song? The song is long but it's a great song. Heartbrakingly honest, for those who haven't heard it, go download it. It called Dry your eyes by The Streets.

Chapter 27

Buffy sat in the Bronze with her friends. Giles had decided to opt out on the prospect of the crowded Bronze; he told Buffy in no uncertain terms that he wished to speak to her tomorrow, in detail.

Buffy was delighted to see Tara turn up, she spent a good amount of time asking questions and trying to get to know the girl that had captured Willows heart, Buffy smiled each time that Willow threw grateful looks in her direction.

However Spike was another matter, he avoided her look no matter what. She ignored Xander and every time he cast a barbed remark in her direction. It helped greatly that Anya poked him, hard every time he did.

The tunes of a soft slow song drifted through the Bronze and she was surprised when Spike turned to her, staring at her intensely.

“Dance with me.” He held out his hand and Buffy took it and followed him onto the dance floor.

Buffy wrapped her arms around his neck as Spike held her tightly around the waist.

“I’m leaving. Tomorrow.” Spike spoke into her hair. He knew if he looked at her, he’d cave and ultimately he would stay so she could tell him that she didn’t want him.

“Oh.” Was all Buffy could manage, she buried her face deeper into his neck and clung to him.

The song changed and an even softer song began.


In one single moment, your whole life can turn around
Stand there for a minute, starin' straight into the ground
Looking to the left slightly, then looking back down
The world feels like it's caved in, proper sorry frown

Please let me show you how we could only just be for us
I can change, and I can grow, or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship if you must

I look at her, she stars almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she's looking straight through me
Then her eyes must of closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet


Buffy heard as the apparent English voice sang the words that seemed to pierce her soul. She felt Spikes hands tighten around her waist.


Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over


Willow stared out at her best friend dancing with a vampire and tried to blink away the tears that were threatening to spill. Pain radiated from the two of them as the clung together in desperation. She felt Tara clasp her hand and smiled sadly at her.


So then I move my hand up from down by my side
Shaking, my life is crashing, before my eyes
I turn the palmt of my hand up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh

Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me
There's things I can't imagine doing
Things I can't imagine seeing
It weren't suppose to be
Easy, surely, please, please
I beg you, please

She brings her hand up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with
She peels away my fingers looks at me and then gestures
Of pushing my hand away to my chest, from hers.


Spike kissed Buffy softly on the head and let the feeling of holding her imprint on his mind. He was so proud of the way that she had dealt with D’Shil. Savouring the feel of her he continued to sway with her.


Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

And I'm just standing there
I can't say a word
Cause everything's just gone
I've got nothing
Absolutely nothing

Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation
Put my arms around her, tryin' and change what she's sayin'
Pull my head level with hers, so she might engage you
Look into her eyes to make her listen again
I'm not gonna fucking just fucking leave it all now
Cause you said it will have been forever and that was your vow
And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down?
You're well out of order now, this is well outta town
She pulls away my arms to tightly clap around her waist
Genently pushes me back as she looks at me straight
Turns around so shes now got her back to my face
Takes one step forward, looks back
And then walks away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over


I know in the past I've found it hard to say
Telling you things but not telling straight
But the more I put on your hand and say
The more you...pull away


As the song ended Buffy tried to swipe the tears from her eyes without Spike seeing. Spike pulled back from her and looked into her eyes.

“You’ll come and see me off tomorrow night?” Spike let the hope sound in his voice and Buffy nodded.

“You bet.” Buffy almost choked on the words. He was leaving.

“Until tomorrow then.” Spike leaned in and brushed his lips against hers and then he was gone. Buffy waited for a few beats before heading out of the Bronze. She couldn’t just let him go like this. Buffy headed back to her mom’s house. She had a plan and by god was it going to work.
