The thing is that, if Spike wanted to follow her home, he would have had opportunity helping her get Dawn home from the ER (just like he was helping take her to the ER from the alley). He would have had a great excuse to stick around "for Dawn's sake" in case that demon or his otherworldly buddies tried to show up again. However, he obviously either leaves once they get to the ER or he leaves once they get Dawn home. Could be that *gasp-shock-horror* Spike actually recognized that Buffy needed some space to deal with her injured sister and magick-addicted best friend; you know, that kind of reality Spike described Buffy not realizing that they lived in right before they found Dawn?
