Teardrops On My Guitar by SpuffyGirl729

At the bar the night before....

“And hear I wonder,” a voice from behind him says. Spike twirls his head around and looks up. “What possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing man to tears?” Spike swallowed as he stared with a drunken gaze.

Usually Spike would be nice. What would be the reason he would be mean to Drusilla? But right now he was half tanked and could care less about anything.

“Go away Dru,” he said as he turned back to his drink.

“Now, now. Is that anyway to speak to me daddy?” Drusilla asked as she sat down next to him at the bar. “Don’t call me that,” Spike said before he took a sip of his beer.

“Aw, what’s wrong my love?” Spike rolled his eyes. “Problems with sunshine?” Spike looked confused.

“I know how to make it better!” Drusilla whispered. “Yeah?” Spike asked. “And how’s that?”

He wasn’t really interested in her answer, but he could tell she wasn’t going anywhere soon. Drusilla leaned in and put her hand on Spike’s arm. “Come back to me Spike. I’ve miss you so. We belong together,” Spike snatched his arm away.

“Go away Dru.” he stated before turning his head. Drusilla pouted. She was sure if she ever got the chance, she could win Spike back. But he was being difficult. Drusilla wouldn’t have that. Spike still loved her. She knew he did.

“The sunshine has clouded your judgment! She’s all around you!” Spike let out an annoyed breath and turned back to Drusilla.

“Listen. I’m sorry if I hurt you. But I don’t love you. Never did. I’m in love with Buffy. I’m WITH Buffy. Now go away!” Spike turned away from her one final time. Drusilla sat there stunned for a few seconds before getting up and walking away.

Two Hours Later...

“Hey kid! Kid!” Willy said as he shook Spike, who was passed out on the bar with his head in his arms. “Kid wake up! You have to go!”

Spike’s eyes opened with a glassy stare. He was drunk. To drunk to drive, to drunk to even walk. “You got someone you can call?” Willy asked him.

Spike rubbed his eyes. He was seeing three of everything. A second later he started to pass out again. “Kid! Wake up!” Willy said again.

“I’ll take him home,” Drusilla said as she walked up behind him. “You know him?” Willy asked skeptically. Drusilla smiled. “He’s my boyfriend,” she grabbed

Spike’s chin and gave him a kiss on the lips as he slept. Willy nodded his head and walked away. Drusilla smiled to herself. This was going to be her chance.

“Let’s go my love,” Drusilla said as she threw Spike’s arm over her shoulders. Spike’s eyes opened as his head rolled back. “Buffy,” he slurred.

Drusilla smirked. “Hush now love. Mummy’s going to make you forget all about sunshine.” Spike’s eyes closed again as Drusilla walked him out of the bar.

Buffy sat on the deck of her pool dangling her feet in the water. She had moved on from sobbing to silent tears. She couldn’t believe what was happening. Flashes of different things that could have happened between Spike and Drusilla kept going through her mind. She couldn’t help it. She was so angry. She wanted to kill Drusilla. But her depression out did her anger.

Buffy squeezed her eyes shut. “I’m so stupid,” she whispered to herself as fresh tears streamed down her face. She should really be inside. All her friends were in there. Her mother, everything that would help her through this, but she wanted to be alone. She was hurt, heartbroken and embarrassed.

Buffy always told herself she would never be that girl. The girl that fell for a guy and he cheated on her. She promised herself she would see the signs. That they were so obvious that anyone could see them.

Buffy looked up when she heard her screen door slam. The wind was making it knock back and forth. Buffy bit her lip as a memory from a couple weeks ago came flashing to her mind.

The screen door slammed hard. Buffy smiled to herself but shook her head with her eyes closed. She was laying out on her pool deck trying to get a sun tan.

“You know,” Buffy began as a shade came over her with her eyes still closed. “No matter how many times we tell you not to slam that door, you always do.”

“What can I say pet? It’s my song.”

Buffy smiled and opened her eyes. “You’re later,” she stated as she sat up. “I know,” Spike began before he leaned down to give her a quick kiss. “I’m sorry was talking to my mum. But I must say, you do look mighty sexy in that red bikini. Why don’t we skip the movie and,” Spike waggled his eyebrows up and down, then put his on Buffy’s knees.

Buffy shook her head and slapped his hands away. “You’re a horn dog!” Buffy exclaimed as she stood up and walked towards her house.

Spike jogged up behind her grabbing her waist and tugging her against his body. “You love it though,” he said while kissing her neck.

Buffy giggled and pulled herself away. “Just let me get changed and then we can go,” she said as she walked into her house. “Don’t let the door...”

Before she could finish the screen door slammed shut behind Spike. He gave her an innocent smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

“Slam,” she finished.

Buffy opened her eyes and looked around. She had no idea how she had gotten to this point and didn’t know it could hurt this bad. She was also mad at herself. Not because of how stupid she felt or how hurt she let herself become, but because the only person she wanted to be around, the only person she wanted to comfort her, was the one person that made her feel the way she was feeling.

Buffy’s thoughts were interrupted when she heard Angel’s car pull up out front. He had run out as soon as Buffy told them what happened. She was to upset to try and stop him. After all he was just doing the older brother routine. She loved him and hated him for it, as all sisters did.

Buffy slowly made her way into the house, not caring that the screen door slammed, but her heartbreaking more when it did. Buffy made her way into the living room where Willow, her mother, Darla, Cordelia and Angel were. Darla was standing before Angel holding his face. He had a busted lip and bruised jaw. *Not as bad as I thought* Buffy thought to herself.

“You couldn’t just talk?!” Darla scolded him. Angel ignored his girlfriend and looked up at his sister. He was about to speak when Buffy cut him off. “I don’t want to know,” she said softly.

Angel closed his mouth and nodded. He knew that he shouldn’t push it. She would ask on her own time. Buffy just nodded and headed towards her room.

“So?” Joyce asked her son. “Did he really cheat on her?” Angel let out a breath and sat down.

“He told her to go away at the bar. But she came back when he was to drunk to walk or remember and took him home. He only has flashes after that. She told him they didn’t do anything because he passed out, but he doesn’t know if she was telling the truth.”
