Okay so usually when I'm annoyed/angry I practice automatic writing but this time I thought I might as well turn it into something productive. So here goes… (If you don't like hearing Alex and Piper argue and break up and stuff then read no further, you were warned!)

Heartbreak in the Chapman/Vause household

"Seriously Alex! What the fuck?" Piper threw her bag down concerningly close to Alex who seemingly had not done any of the things Piper had asked of her.

"This place is a tip!" She gestured her hand around their shared flat. "You were supposed to clean!"

"I cleaned the bathroom!" Alex threw back, her brow furrowed.

They'd been having problems recently and Alex wasn't holding her own and helping herself here.

"Wow, Alex, the bathroom is that it? Would you like a fucking medal? I've been working all day, the least you could do is help out before we have guests later!"

"Oh guests?"

"YES ALEX! YOUR friend and her partner are supposed to be coming HERE tonight. Tonight of all nights, the one night I told you NOT to arrange it for so we could spend time together after I finished work."

"Oh I forgot about that, I guess I'd better clean up now then. Oh, but I guess I should shower too."

"Fine Alex, you fucking shower and I'll fucking clean the house then." Piper was getting to the end of her tether with the same shit every week. It was repeatedly the same stuff over and over and Piper was sick of it.

Alex pouted. "Are you sure babe?"

"Yes I'm fucking sure just go."

"Are you okay?"

Piper threw herself on the sofa "No, Alex. I'm not. Just get in the shower."

Alex looked between Piper and the bathroom door and headed for the latter.

As soon as the bathroom door was closed Piper dropped her head into her hands and cried.

A million thoughts ran through her head and she had never felt more like she was dying than in this moment. Her own head was in argument with her and the pains in her chest grew stronger and stronger. Her stomach twisted at the thought of leaving but then again it did the same at the thought of staying. She had to get out. She started by leaving the apartment. She left her keys and phone on the table with no note and didn't even yell to tell Alex she was leaving. She did however slam the door loud enough to make it audible that she had and in the bathroom Alex winced at the noise.

She thought that Piper would need her space and so she didn't bother to follow her but instead got out of the shower, changed, didn't bother to clean and decided that she'd take her friends out to eat instead since Piper was right and the house was a bit of a mess.

She quickly shot a text to her friend Nicky expressing that plans had changed and that they were best meeting in town using the excuse that Piper was sick and staying home.

When she headed out she left Piper's keys under the mat by the front door but left Piper's phone on the side where the blonde had left it.

As she arrived at the restaurant where her friends were meeting her she started to think things over in her head.

'Where is Piper and why didn't she bother to tell me where she was going?'

'Why didn't I follow her?'

'Why didn't I just do what I was asked to do in the first place to prevent this?'

"Blondie bailed huh?"

Alex was brought out of her thoughts by the voice of her red-haired friend "Urm.. I guess you could say that."

They'd come to one of Piper's favourite places to eat without Alex even thinking about it and didn't even consider that this would be somewhere that she might go.

It wasn't really a restaurant as such, it was more a diner and it did the typical diner stuff like fries, shakes and doughnuts plus coffee to go and that was what Piper loved the most from this place.

Alex wasn't entirely sure why she was so surprised when Piper came jogging through the doors with her blonde hair swept up into a messy ponytail, her headphones pressed firmly into her ears and sweat beading at her forehead. She watched intently as the blonde seemingly didn't see her on the way in. Piper ordered coffee at the counter and stretched her calves. She had noticed Alex on the way in but was purposely ignoring her.

"Thanks for the Coffee Dave!" Piper smiled as she turned to leave, she came here so often that she knew all the staff's names.

The blonde walked purposely slowly out of the diner as Alex followed her with her eyes. Nicky and Lorna quickly noticed that Alex was aloof and staring at something so they turned to see the blonde slowly exiting the building.

"See you at home Pipes." Alex called, she realised that there would be hell up if she hadn't have acknowledged her.

"Will you?" Piper called back as she walked through the doors.

"Well looks like she's feeling a bit better." Lorna hushed to the table.

Nicky nudged her foot under the table.

"Alex, what the fuck did you do this time?"

Alex was just about to open her mouth again.

"Or better yet what the fuck didn't you do this time?" Nicky never called Alex 'Alex' unless she was in trouble and this was one of those times.

"I hope that one day Alex you open your fucking eyes to that girl before it's too late, she's given you everything. She fucking works to keep a roof over your lazy ass and you don't do shit about it. She cooks for you, she cleans for you, she gives you the fucking world and for what? So you can just walk all over her? That's not what she does it for. When was the last time you surprised her eh? Bought her flowers or sent her cute messages whilst she was at work? Cooked dinner for when she got home or did the cleaning? Or even, Alex, simply did what she fucking asked you too. You've put that girl through a whole world of shit and honestly if I was her I would've fucking walked months ago."

Nicky was getting visibly Irate and rightly so too as Nicky was Piper's friend long before she was Alex's and even though her and Alex were closer than her and Piper ever were it was still not nice to sit back and watch her friend hurting.

"So what the fuck happened today Alex? Tell me!"

Alex hung her head slightly and didn't say a word.

"You're gonna lose that girl if you're not fucking careful Alex. She's given you the world and you won't even give her the time of day some days so get your priorities in check and realise that your attitude towards her and your life right now sucks. If I was you I'd be singing her praises from the rooftops for putting up with your shit on a daily basis. Treat her right or you'll lose her Alex, do you hear me?"

Alex just hummed and continued to hang her head. Piper had been moaning about a lot recently and getting to hear it from someone else was surprising.

"So are you gonna fucking chase after her or am I? Because if she's got any sense right now she'll be running in the opposite direction to you."

"I'll go." Alex slowly got up from her chair and took a slow walk home, she was in no way prepared to hear the exact same shit from Piper.

As she stepped on the front door mat she noticed Piper's keys weren't there and she assumed she'd be inside sitting on the coach in the dark sipping coffee as she sometimes did when things got bad but this time there was no Piper when she got home. No half empty coffee cup on the side, no water running or bedroom light on. She headed to the bedroom to see if she was sleeping. No Piper, no made bed which was strange as Piper almost always made the bed if she saw it was untidy. She checked the bathroom, the spare room, nothing. That's when she checked the coffee table for Piper's phone. It was still there but this time with a white piece of paper underneath it.

It read:

"You fucked up for the last time. I'm done. It's over."

A/N: See I told you not to read it if you don't like angsty stuff, I really don't write stuff like this usually but when I get mad or annoyed or angry or hurt I automatic write and I thought I might as well actually put it to some use for once so here it is. You don't have to comment if you don't want to, I know it's out of my usual writing style and is probably horrifically written but hey ho, it's something. Thanks for reading.
