Spike could see that Angel was giving up his game. He had gotten what he wanted and was now discarding Willow like a piece of trash. From he overheard of their discussions he could tell that Angel refused to tell her that he was just using her to get back to his precious slayer, instead making up lame excuses. No one else bothered to tell her either.

Willow fell for his crap because she truly loved his sire. The redhead loved him, and was blinded by that love. Spike saw with disgust that Angel spent more time on patrol or at Giles’ kissing the slayer than with Willow.

Spike’s anger flared at his sire. His redheaded friend loved Angel, and instead of treating her like she deserved, he treated her like crap. He tossed aside someone who loved him for who he was for someone who only loved the idea of him. Buffy didn’t love Angel for who he was, just the idea of who she wanted him to be. She pretended Angelus didn’t exist and Angel was not a vampire while Willow accepted both sides.

Spike told her when everyone else refused to, and she never questioned him. Instead of getting angry with him for telling her, she was angry with the others for not telling her the truth, and angry with Angel for using her in his little game.

She spent more time with him then with her “friends” now because he didn’t judge her. Her "friends" called her a traitor for turning to him and backed Angel and Buffy. Seems that she only was their friend when she stayed inside their little box and let them use her. She became a threat when she stepped outside of that box, and stood up to them.

They tried their hardest to get her back into that box. His poof of a sire told her that Spike would hurt her since he didn’t have a soul. He may not have a soul, but he did have the ability to love, which was more important in his mind.
