wow. i'm actually not surprised that spike came to this decision. honestly, i glad. maybe buffy will come to her senses and realize that spike really does car e about her or maybe she'll get even more insecure and think that he's only moving out because he only wanted her for sex; and now that he can't have that, he's leaving. wouldn't be too shocked if buffy took his leaving as another way to not trust him. *sighs* sorry about the ramble. loved it lots and i can't wait for more. please PLEASE post soon.

Knew something was off with Buffy and Joyce. Joyce is such a bitch! Great chapter! Loved it!

damnit!1 i want them to be together and be happy, but bufy cant get over her feelings of unworthyness. i love this story so much and am so happy that u updated. i really hope taht spike will try to talk to her and undertstand where shes going from. also i holpe that buffy will give him and chance and for them to be happy together. please update as soon as u can, cant wait to read more. thanx

great chapter

I like this chapter, but now I want to know why Buffy had such a heart of stone!
She must really hurt...who did it and why...sorry I´m brabbeling...can´t wait for chapter 22.

Lovely chapter...still hanging in there, love the fic!

This is an excellent story. I am curious as to what is going to happen now that Joyce suspects something is wrong. This was a sad chapter with both of their thoughts. And I do feel sorry for both of them, but I also have the incredible urge to just smack them both and tell them to stop pouting and work it out. ; ) Looking forward to more.

Ohhhh this is was a good chapter!!! Cant wait for Tuesday's update!!!

A new computer? That's good :) ~ I'm glad Spike had an inkling why Buffy did it (just didn't like the message from the pool.) But bad that Spike thinks he's not strong enough to stick with her. Maybe he's the one to save her. But now he choose to ignore Buffy. Well it worked; now she feels guilty. When Joyce came I thought she would be clueless but she noticed something. Looking forward to the next chapter :)

i hope i wasn't one of the reviewers who made you feel upset. I do love this story. Buffy just frustrates me a bit. I think it's because i can relate to her insecurities and it's sorta like I'm reading about myself. I mean, i'm not in the line of work that she's in, in this story but i do know how she feels as far as guys and relationships. Anyway, I do love what you are dong with this and I can't wait to read more. please post soon. great job.

Glad you updated. Congrats on the new computer and can't wait for more.

I'm a little confused about Joyce, but that's secondary to my feelings for Spuffy.

I have a feeling it was Joyce, not Hank that may have caused the problems with Buffy?

As for Buffy...well I can't say I don't understand her, but then again she is being very self-destructive.
I've known women like this, and some men (mostly men who have issues with drugs, but that's another story).

Women never give themselves enough credit, even in this day and age. We feel like we have to mother the world and if something 'bad' happens to us along the way it's our faults. I don't get it and probably never will.
Sigh.
I hope William can break through Buffy's barriers and soon. The girl needs alot of help for sure!

Great chapter and I hope Joyce gets knocked down a peg or two along the way!

spuf

OMG...is she really that stupid?
Now I want to know how Spike is...and how it will in the near furure.
Great Story
