The first time? Fuck, he'd been home for about three weeks. Hadn't started talking yet, least not to Darla or I. I think he and Dru had their own way to communicate, she seemed to understand him more than any of us. I was out to get a drink, and it was late, and I hear Dru. She's crying, she'd been crying a lot lately, but this didn't sound like her normal crying. It was the kind of sounds she used to make before she was in therapy, the kinds she made right after her parents died and she went a little crazy.
I knock on the door and nothing happens. She's still crying. I ask for Spike and the crying gets louder. I didn't know what to do, who would know. I mean, I knew Dru before, and I helped take care of her after, but I never got any better with the whole thing, I never knew what to do. That was what Spike was for.
Darla and I just stood back and let him do whatever he did, because when he was around she was calm. But he hadn't been around, and he wasn't really around anymore even when he was there.
This isn't important though, you want to know what happened. I don't really know, Dru won't say a damn word about it, and he's just as tight lipped. All I know is that when she wouldn't answer me, I pushed open the door and I saw her huddled in the corner. I looked around for Spike and I saw the bathroom door was open.
There was just so much fucking blood. I stood there with Dru going insane behind me and Spike staring, just fucking staring at nothing. I couldn't move. If Darla hadn't...
I can't fucking think about it.

"Giles! Come on in."
"Thank you Darla, how are things?"
Darla turned and walked into the kitchen motioning for her uncle to follow. He looked around the sunny room and wondered what his son thought about when he was in there. Surely such a happy space would have some kind of affect on him, somehow he didn't really believe it.
"William's up, I heard he and Dru earlier. He should be down any minute. Angel's not here of he'd be down to say hello."
"How is Angel?"
"Same as always, working hard."
They were quiet for a moment, both understanding the unspoken pain between them. Angel had blamed himself partially for Spike's disappearance and he'd been working non-stop to either forget or make up for whatever slight he understood himself to have committed.
Truth was, everyone felt guilty for one reason or another. Dru for letting him leave, Giles for not looking hard enough, Darla for telling Angel not to go looking for him when he'd left, determined to let him sulk alone, and Angel for listening to her.
There was no way any of them could have known he'd be preyed upon at that bar. No way to know this little tantrum would end any differently than the rest of them.
It felt like there was however, and no one took it as hard and Angel and Dru. The fact that Dru was already unstable lead the others to question whether or not letting Spike and Dru remain in such closed quarters was a good idea. They fed off of each other's emotions, and they couldn't help but allow for unhealthy habits to persist, but everyone had agreed that separating them would probably be more detrimental than leaving them together.
