Okay, so it's been AGES since I posted anything. I'm sorry I suck so hard! Life's been just a rollercoaster over the last couple months, but I'm smartening up and I haven't forgotten about you guys! Just been super super busy. So here's a new story, I only plan to write one more chapter to this. If you guys like it review and I'll see what I can do with continuing it.

Side note: Been a bit sketched out because someone hacked my account. Anywho! Ejoy. Fire and Ice!

It always ended the same way. Alex would let Piper know when her next job would be, where and how long. And Piper would always make a fuss over how long she'd be gone for, usually resulting in Piper blowing days before Alex was set and ready to go. It caused a strain on their relationship, to say the least, and Piper always made sure to let Alex know that she wasn't content with being left behind.

As stubborn as Piper always was towards the situation, she'd manage to smarten up her act before Alex left, and Alex would always let it go like it was a regular thing. Piper managed to have Alex wrapped around her finger, no matter how ridiculous Piper would act. She knew for a fact that Piper was terrible with communicating and expressing her feelings, if not worse than Alex herself. She never held grudges towards Piper for long and never held it against her when she did.

Until one day Piper flipped out over her leaving for a month.

"Of course you're leaving. I mean you just got home two weeks ago!" Piper sarcastically glared the brunette down.

Alex shook her head, inhaling deeply and not being fazed by Piper's attempts to act intimidating, "Pipes, I know it fucking sucks, but it's my job. It's what keeps food on the table, and this four-hundred thousand dollar house running every fucking month! What do you want me to do about it?"

Piper looked down at her feet, the glare set on her face could nearly strip the rubber off her shoes, "It's not that I don't appreciate the fact you work hard for us. It's the fact your job always comes first," Piper mumbled childishly, to which Alex reached out to grab her arms and pull her in to embrace her.

"Don't. Just don't," Piper stated, pushing Alex's hands away, "You're entirely okay with the idea of your job running your life for you, and all I am to you is another accessory to your picturesque lifestyle. If only our neighbors knew that you are a fucking drug dealer, Alex. They would see all your flaws from a mile away!"

Alex let the blondes words sink in like a pair of claws digging into her nerves, and watched as Piper stormed up the stairs to their room. The minute Piper was out of sight; Alex crumbled in, feeling the need to scream. Punch, kick; anything to ease the creeping feeling of not ever being good enough, of never feeling as though she'd make it out alive with a normal life. She knew in all attempts, it was futile to try to leave the ring even if she wanted to, but the fear of not fitting in with society ate away at her.

Alex gathered herself up, pulled herself together and climbed the stairway to their bedroom to address the situation furthermore, only to find Piper was in the shower. Stripping off her clothes, she placed her hand on the doorknob and quietly opened the door.

"Alex. No," Piper's voice cracked, and Alex exhaled loudly.

"Piper don't talk to me like I'm a disobedient child or pet," Alex growled, sliding the shower curtain open to expose the blonde to her, "I seriously don't have time for another one of your childish fits, we're dealing with this now."

Piper glared at Alex for five seconds and moved to shut the shower off. Alex was quicker, moving to firmly place Piper's hands in her own as she climbed into the tub to stand next to the blonde. She stared at the woman, keeping her hands in her own, and Piper was adamant on not speaking a word.

"Pipes," Alex mumbled, pulling Piper in closer, releasing her hands finally, "I only have until tomorrow until I have to leave..."

Alex wrapped her arms around the blondes waist, and Piper snaked herself to face away from the brunette stubbornly. Alex smirked placing her lips gently on her shoulder, hands wandering up fingers gently trailing up her rib cage to until Piper swatted her hands away. Alex hands flew back to the skin over her ribs.

"Alex, don't!" Piper whined, "I don't want you touching me right now!"

Alex ignored her comment for a moment, and pushed her lips to Piper's ear, "If you don't talk to me, I'm going to continue until you do, or until you get over this."

Piper struggled to face her again as Alex's embrace tightened, and her temper flared when Alex bit down on her neck possessively. Piper managed to get herself in front of the brunette and push her back by the chest.

Shocked and unexpected, Alex's back collided with wall of the shower and she flailed about for a few moments, almost slipping.

"Piper! What the FUCK!" Alex bellowed, trying to stand straight up but Piper continued pushing her back against the wall.

"You wanna fucking talk? Fine, Alex!" Piper yelled back, "That's all THIS is to you! Sex! Someone to fuck when you get home!"

Alex stared at Piper, not sure what to say, and Piper forcefully pressed a hand down against her chest to keep her arms length away.

"This is bullshit Alex! I bet anything you have other girlfriends in those cities you always go back to!"

Alex let Piper hold her there for a few seconds longer as Piper's facial expression changed from anger to sadness the moment she let the words slip. Alex smacked Piper's arm away, staring her down after she finally managed to stand up straight.

Piper shrank back under her piercing glare, and with that Alex swung the curtain open and stepped out. Not even bothering to grab a towel to dry herself off, she walked out of the bathroom, and Piper struggled to stop the shower, cover herself up and catch up to the brunette. She pulled Alex's towel from the towel rack and raced after her.

Alex already had her suitcase thrown onto the bed, standing in the closet water dripping onto the floor, and Piper stepped forward to hand her the towel. Alex violently grabbed the towel and threw it over the blondes head.

"Fuck off, Piper," Alex snarled, eyes burning holes into Piper's, her cold gaze never once faltering.

She turned and continued gathering clothes, "Not once. Not once have I gone out of town and fucked someone else!" Alex muttered, not even looking at Piper.

"NOT. FUCKING. ONCE, PIPER!" Alex turned again to look at Piper, screaming at the top of her lungs, "So tired of your fucking shit, this relationship is everything to me, so FUCK YOU!"

"I never been this faithful in a relationship, and you have the nerve to say something like that?! Maybe it is just sex to me, Piper, but what is this to you? A fucking free ride," Alex muttered again, going into the bathroom again to grab her toiletries.

Throwing everything into a suitcase angrily, she zipped it up, and pulled her clothes that she was wearing previously, on.

"Get the fuck OUT, Piper!" Alex glared at the blonde again, "By the end of the month, you better not be here when I get back!"

Alex sat onto the bed to put her heels on, stood up and walked over to the door. She glanced over her shoulder to see Piper standing in the middle of the room. Alex turned to grab the doorknob to shut the door, "Fuck you, Piper."

She slammed the door and made her way out the front door.
