Looking in, this is a typical Friday night ritual for these two. The arguing and fighting. It's all about the drama with them. It's the fuel that keeps them going and the thing the tears them apart. Someone is pissed. Voices are raised. Things are thrown at each other. It's always something or other to tic the other person off. It doesn't have to be something big. Maybe she wore the the wrong color eye shadow or forgot to get bread from the store. No matter what the cause, the effect was always the same…

"You know what, FUCK YOU ASHLEY!"

"Spencer, get the fuck over it. I can't help the way I feel and you obviously don't give a shit."

"Obviously you are blind"

"Screw you okay I'm done. I'm sick of this. I'm going to go for a walk." Ashley gets up and grabs her cell phone and ipod to leave. Spencer jumps in front of the door barricading it with her body. "Wait! I'm sorry. Okay, maybe, you were right. Don't leave."

"Spencer I don't want to be around you right now so please move." Ashley says getting frustrated more by the second over this petty argument. She walks towards the door thinking Spencer would retreat.[/color]

"Please" Spencer begs, not budging "I'm really sorry and I can make it up to you. Come here" she pouts and opens her arms out to Ashley.

And so we did it again
Knowing we should quit it but we simply won't admit it again
It feels good, we're so good, but I won't do it again
It's so dramatic again
After we go at it we get mad then we go at it again
Oh I love it, then I hate it, she's my favorite

Ashley walks into her arms and settles her head on Spencer's shoulder. "I'm really sorry Ash" Spencer says as she nuzzles and kisses her neck. "I'm sorry, you were right. I love you."

Again I'm wasting time
I can't help it she's so fine
Oh I like her style
And I love the way she talks and I smile

"I love you too." Ashley says into her shoulder, "but I really need to get out of here." She pushes off of Spencer and makes her way out the door.

As much as we may try
Can't quite see eye to eye
So in the meantime I guess we say bye-bye

And again and again and again
Oh and then, we do it again
We do it again and we do it again

Ah, we are at the point of their making up. That's always a plus in their relationship. The make up sex is always a thrill. It's rough and unwavering. This is where they really take out their frustrations on each other. Biting. Scratching. Whipping. Yanking. Pulling. Teasing. Dominance. Who will will this fight?

"I fucking hate you" Ashley says close to Spencer's ear as she pulls blonde hair back fucking her from behind.

"God. Fuck me! Fuck you, I hate you more." Spencer says struggling to keep her balance from the hard thrusts from behind while turning to bite at Ashley's ear next to her face.

And so we fake it again
I think we're gonna blow it and we know it
But she's naked again
We get wasted, then I taste it, then I waste it again

"I love you but I hate this Ashley" she says as she's putting her clothes back on.

"Not now. Not this again. Spencer this is what we are. Deal with it!"

"Deal with the fact that we can't have a normal relationship, a healthy one?"

"What's Normal, Spencer. You know what I mean and where I'm coming from. We are good together, we are terrible together. There's nothing we can do about it and that's why we work and don't work."

"Fuck you Ashley. I don't need this smug shit right now. I'm leaving, I'll see you later I guess."

I can't invite her again
'Cause she'll go from a lover to a fighter and I'll fight her again
So it's over, but I told her, to come over

Again I'm wasting time
But she's always on my mind
I can't let her go
Oh, she's not the best, but she's all that I know

After another make up fuck fest…the routine starts.

"Where are you going, it's late and there's nothing open."

"I just need to clear my head. I need to get away from you"

"Away from me? What did I do? I thought-I" she trailed off. "What's going on with you Ashley?"

"I can't take this anymore. I'm done."

"You're done. What kind of bullshit is that?" Spencer responds, never raising her voice.

"The kinda bullshit that means we're through. I can't live like this." Ashley says as she gets up off the bed to get dressed. Spencer wraps herself in the bed sheet and starts to walk over to Ashley before she turns away and speeds towards the door. "I'll be back for my things later" she says storming out of the apartment moments later.

As much as we may try
Can't quite see eye to eye
So in the meantime I guess we say bye-bye

And again and again and again
Oh, and then, we do it again
We do it again and we do it again

It's been two months since they've been apart. Both have moved on and both are equally miserable. This is a temporary fix. Haunting dreams and midnight fantasies about the other. Some voids can't be filled with a replacement. There's nothing like having the real thing.

And so I've got a new friend
I wish I could forget you but I miss you wanna kiss you again
Oh she's like you, but she's not you, gotta find you again

It's cold. The weather has changed seasons. Some of their best times were when it was winter and all they wanted to do was be close. To feed off of the warmth of their other half. The half that's missing. The half that is in the near distance. Should she, should she not?

"Hey. Can we talk, Ashley?" Spencer says walking up to her in the corner café.

"Sure"

They are seated at a table, talking, catching up with each others lives.

So we remember again
The middle of December and I took you out to dinner again
Oh I love her, it's not over, just another again

"I can't do this…not again, Spencer." Ashley slowly gets up to leave and grabs Spencer's hand placing a lingering and loving kiss on the palm and walks away.

And again and again and again
I love her, it's another again
