BtVS Drabble Prompt: Break

[garnigal]

A single kick for Buffy to break down a door.
A single demon for Xander to break an engagement.
A single moment for Dawn to break the law.
A single ticket for Giles to break a heart.
A single bullet for Willow to break with sanity.

In the shadows, Spike tries to break through Buffy’s defences.
Xander runs away and Anya breaks into sobs.
The booty is returned, but Dawn’s managed to break their trust.
Buffy begs him not to leave, but Giles doesn’t break.
Tara falls and Willow breaks, and there’s no one left to pick up the pieces.
