Extreme Behavior

Disclaimer: Don't own South, don't own the band Hinder or anything they write. Just borrowing, I'll get it back to them later.

Summary: Series of unrelated Spashley one-shots based on Hinder songs.

A/N: I'm back with a brilliant idea: Now is it just me, or did anyone else notice that every song by Hinder can be used for a Spashley song fic? Well that's what I thought and now I'm doing a series on it.

Enjoy ten different chappies on the good ole Spashley.

Note -This chapter is for Josatya, for encouraging me to write it again, cuz I kinda forgot it! Thanks a lot love!

By The Way

"In the winding down hours
I let your heart down again
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
Old habits die hard
I always end up hating the end
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)"

"Spence, I'm sorry." Ashley whimpered, "I know, I totally suck but…"

"You're no different than everyone else, Ashley." Spencer muttered, crossing her arms over her chest and shaking her head.

"Old habits die hard…" Ashley whispered as if that would make everything ok.

"And that makes it ok?" Spencer mumbled into her hands.

"I can't say that this is ok, Spence, I'm just saying it is what it is." Ashley grunted, her one moment of coherent thought the entire night.

"I'm in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way?
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same…"

"Spencer, I really am sorry, I've never really meant that to anyone but you, you know that!" Ashley yelled, the tears flowing freely now.

"I know Ash, but that doesn't make what happened ok!" Spencer yelled right back, her eyes blurring with unshed tears. "Goddamnit Ashley!"

"Well, it's not like I didn't warn you about this!" Ashley laughed bitterly, "Everyone else warned you! So much for you listening to Madison and all her cheerbitches, eh?"

"Speechless and frozen
Uncomfortable silence again
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)"

Spencer froze, speechless. Ashley was panting, her face thoroughly flushed, her hands balled into fists at her sides.

'Well, this is uncomfortable…' Ashley thought, relaxing herself somewhat.

"So what are you saying?" Spencer asked, leaving no space for Ashley's answer, "You'd prefer it if I sided with Madison about you?" Her eyes were wild with disbelief.

"No." Ashley sighed, she hadn't meant for this to happen, really. "That's not what I'm saying at all. I just…You knew I had a problem when it came to drinking and drugs, I don't understand why you stuck around to see it…"

"You should know better than that." Spencer whispered.

"I'm in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way?
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same…"

"Well, obviously I don't." Ashley snorted, "God, Spencer, why do you have to make everything so confusing?" She plopped down on her sofa, rubbing her temples.

"I make things confusing?!" Spencer demanded, "Are you kidding me? Look what you've done to yourself! You're drunk…And high!"

"Then please, stop yelling!" Ashley yelled, contradicting herself.

"I'm only yelling cuz I care!" Spencer yelled anyways. And that was enough to shut the brunette up.

"Battered and bruised
Broken, confused
It's time we both knew
Can't stop what I started
This time we both lose, lose…"

"Look, this isn't going anywhere, alright, why don't you just leave?" Ashley mumbled, shaking her head at the stubborn blonde in her bedroom.

"Why can't it go anywhere? Why do you always give up?" Spencer groaned, falling on her bed, busying herself with the ruffles in the carpet.

"Cuz no one cares enough to stop me." Ashley looked away, her eyes lost. "I'm not the only one who loses this time, it seems."

"And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same
The same, the same,
I'll always stay the same
(Battered and bruised)
The same, (broken, confused), the same
I didn't warn you that I'd always stay the same…"

"You don't think I can change you?" Spencer begged, "You don't think I can help you at all? Stop you? Show you the way?"

"Oh god, you sound like your mother!" Ashley groaned.

"Hey." Spencer smiled lightly for the first time that night, throwing a pillow at Ashley.

"I'm serious, Spence." Ashley said tiredly.

"About what?" Spencer joked, trying to lighten the mood. "Me sounding like my mother?"

"No, I'm not gonna change Spencer, no matter how much you want to help me, I can't change, this is who I am, a fuck up." Ashley gave her speech without looking at the blonde at all, looking at everything but her favorite person.

"You're not a fuck up." Spencer whispered, she never said that. She was even surprising herself tonight.

Ashley shook her head, "Spence, please. I'll always stay the same; I won't change, even for you." She started crying again, "Even if I want to."

Spencer started to speak again, her mouth was open and her mind was working on formulating words but Ashley wouldn't let her.

"Don't." Ashley whimpered, "Don't try to make this better, I warned you, and I hurt you. For that, for all of this, Spencer, know this, I love you and I'm sorry."
