Part 1


iAnd I spent Christmas in a detox ward, I wish I had an Airport...
Someday...Cause somedays are just so hard/i


Getting out of the cab I stare up at the Manor that i've spend so much of my life in. Loving, Hating Regreting, Hurting, Healing and right back to Hating again.

I consider getting back in the cab and leaving but then I realise it's already gone, leaving me to either stand in the darkness and rain or walk the green mile to the door.

I think this may be the most self destructive thing I've ever done... and believe me that pretty bad.

I beg for the safety of routine, I was used to for the past few months. Incarceration isn't all that bad when it gives you a simple life.

Walking up the steps now... What awaits behind the door is just too much.

Ok.. rung the door bell, that's a step right? Now maybe I should run away.

Damn to late... I don't think Piper know's its me.

"Uh... Hi." I say with a nervous laugh.

My big sister looked me up and down in utter disgust. "I'm not giving you anything so you can leave right now." She said coldly as she began to shut the door.

God, she hates me so much.

Finding my voice replied, "I don't want money, Piper."

Her jaw is still set, why can't she look me in the eye?

"Shouldn't you be in some sleezy bar... or are you already wasted?" She asked signaling to my drenched and mudded clothes.

I didn't even notice. Good one me.

"I was... I went to see mom."

Her eyes flickered, the ice queen act faltering.

"Piper, who is it?!" I reconised the voice of Prue.

Piper threw me a look of daggers, "It's no one."

Prue opened the door further to see me.

"I thought you weren't getting here till tomorrow." She then took in my appearence. "Why aren't you inside? You'll catch your death out there."

I took one look at the seething Piper and came up with the idea, "Maybe I should just come back tomorrow."

"No, this is your home too, Paige." I managed to smile at that.

Prue practically had to pull Piper out of the way so I could enter. This was so awkward.

"Where's your stuff?" Prue asked while Piper stood with her arms crossed glaring at me.

I knew my cheeks were red now, "I-I... don't really have anything."

Prue gave me a comforting smile, "come on. I'll give you something to change into. You must be freezing."

She grabbd my hand then turned back to Piper and quietly added, "Get rid of the attitude." Thinking I hadn't heard.

When we got upstairs she stopped and looked me over. I closed my eyes when I felt her hands on my face. I missed her so much. How could I have given up after all the love they've should me?

"Look at you, you're skin and bones. A few weeks of Piper's cooking should fix that up." She said trying to look on the bright side. I knew her too well though. I could hear the emotion in her voice.

"That whole liquid diet thing sure knocked off the pounds." Why did have to make these assang comments!

"Ok, why don't you go in for a shower and I'll leave you some clothes out."

I nodded, "Thanks Prue."

She just smiled and me and left.
