Would you choose between them? She won't choose one. She'll do everything, to save the man she fell in love with."


Buffy stood on the porch, going over in her mind the mounting bills, and all the problems she had come back to. When her mom was here, everything was different; she was different. Especially now: again, in this hell of a world, fighting through the torture of living in a reality where she would never fit.
She hid her face between her hands; she didn't realize that someone was watching her: he was hidden behind the bushes while he observed her.
She sat on the short steps, and she started crying. It was the only thing she could do: crying for the absence of her mother, crying for herself, for the problems, for her life. She missed it. She missed when she was in heaven. She could still remember. Her mom was there, and she was at peace. She was finished.
She hugged her knees and cried louder. She suddenly felt arms wrapped around her, a shoulder where she could cry. Someone was holding her and somehow, he was telling her that everything was going to be ok.
She felt the leather coat.
"Spike?" She asked while she tried to clean her face, but she couldn't hide her sadness "…everything is so hard here…" she said while he hugged her again, "… I can't do this… why am I here??" she said again, staring towards the night. "That was my moment… I shouldn't be here, crying because of some fucking bills, I should be dead… with mom… not here…"
"Shhhh, it's ok, pet. You will be ok."
"How…?" she asked between sobs, with his arms around her.
"You will learn to deal with it, like you used to do... before..."
She stayed there, within his warm hug, embraced by his strong-arms, where she felt she would learn how to live again.
"Why are you doing this?" she asked.
"Doing what?" he said, looking at her.
"Helping and supporting me…"
"Well, what are mortal enemies for?"
"Yeah," she said, while she stretched on his lap and she dried the tears on her face. "... and ... because you love me, don't you?" she added, smiling at him.
"Yeah." he said glancing the floor. Then he stood up.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"I have... some stuff to do..."
"But it's still early." she said.
"Yeah but…" he didn't finished his sentence, he just started walking without looking back.
When he had gone, Buffy stared the floor for a minute, thinking.
"What the hell was that?" she said to herself. "Why did he leave…? What am I saying??? I don't care why he left! IT'S SPIKE! But… what did I say? Oh God!"
She moved into the house and she went upstairs. She entered to her room and ten minutes later she was trying to sleep, but she couldn't. She was still thinking about Spike.
"What the hell is wrong with me?? Ok," she tried to calm down "let's see…"
She sat on her bed, and she tried to analyze the situation. Why was she still thinking about Spike? The first thing that came to mind was his body and his hard muscles.
"EWWWWW! What is wrong with me???" she said in loud voice. "If he's done some kind of spell I swear…"
Suddenly, Willow appeared at her door.
"Buffy? Is something wrong?" she asked, worried about her friend"Wil"Willow! Hi! Hum, listen… I think that something is going on… Something's wrong… I just… saw Spike ten minutes ago, and it just felt… weird…"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know… Tonight I was on the porch… thinking" she thought that it would be better if she didn't tell Willow about her sadness and her problems. "… about bills and all that, you know…"
Willow nodded.
"And then… Spike appeared." she stopped there, but Willow didn't look surprised at all.
"Ok, Spike appeared… in the night… he's a vampire, remember Buff?" she said "So, something else happened?"
"Yeah, I don't know… it was weird… I felt something…"
"Something… for him… you mean?" Now she looked really worried.
"Hummmm… maybe, I don't know, that's what's confusing me. It's just that… what could I feel about him? Hate? Rage? It's Spike, for God Sake!"
"So," Willow sat on the bed " you are trying to tell me that you have some kind of feelings for Spike?"
"I don't know… Willow… I don't know!"
"Well, Buffy, 'The Heart has reasons that the mind ignores.'"
"What?" Buffy asked.
And then, Willow diasppeared…and Buffy woke up.
What the Hell was that?!?
"A premonition?" - she thought. - "No, that would be ridiculous… right?"
"Oh that's it." she said. " Back to sleep, and please, no more premonitions!"
