In The End
Memories
Paige wandered through the Halliwell manor finally arriving at the kitchen door. She walked into the kitchen where she saw Piper standing over a hot stove, she saw many cracked egg shells; Piper was making omelettes. Paige sniffed and walked over to Piper,
"Morning honey," said Piper upbeat, "What kind of omelette do you want?" she asked placing another couple of eggs into her mixing bowl.
"Nothing for me thanks," replied Paige, her voice was toneless and showed no emotion, she walked over and began to make some cereal, she poured the crisped rice into the bowl until they almost spilled over. Then went to the refrigerator to get some milk,
"For someone who's not hungry that's an awful big bowl of cereal," said Piper jokily. She walked over to join Paige who was currently pouring milk into her overflowing bowl. Piper jabbed Paige in the ribs and smiled at her, Paige's head jolted and she struck out at Piper. Her hand came flying up knocking the cereal on the floor and striking Piper across the face. The bowl smashed on the floor sending bits of broken ceramic flying everywhere under their feet. Piper's cheek grew red and Paige stood and stared at the damage she had caused as though in some sort of dream. Piper put her hand to her cheek and looked at Paige, the front of her pyjama's were covered with milk and her slippers where floating in the stuff. Piper looked at Paige, realised something was wrong she began to call her name,
"Paige?" said Piper tapping Paige face, "Paige? Hello?" she continued realising this wasn't working Piper clicked her fingers several times in front of Paige's face, this brought Paige back to earth. She blinked a couple of times before her eyes welled up with tears,
"Oh God, Piper… I'm so sorry," she said between sobs, the droplets of salty sorrow ran down Paige's cheeks and feel to the floor. Paige pushed past Piper and headed for the door, she ran out of the kitchen back to her bedroom. She walked into the room wiping the tears from her eyes, she let her body collapse onto the bed and reached out for a pillow. Held it against her face and screamed. She screamed long and hard but the sound was muffled by the pain echoing from her heart, and the pillow. She dropped the pillow and let it lay on the bed beside her; she nervously ran her hand through her hair, digging her knuckles into her scalp. She was shaking uncontrollably
*** Flashback ***
The car tyres screeched as Paige's father slammed his foot down on the brakes but it was too late. The car collided with the truck and was sent flying into the air. Paige screamed and heard her parents screaming. Suddenly she was on the road. Rolling past the burning wreckage in which she had sat not long before. The fire burned for what seemed like a life time as the flames engulfed her car and her parents. Paige lay on her stomach staring up at the burning car, the heat was intense, but not as intense as what she was feeling. She didn't understand what was happening… it all seemed like some kind of dream. Paige stood up and walked as close to the car as she could get without the flames getting her,
"Mom?" she called, her voice echoed through the streets as she heard sirens approaching "Dad?" Paige felt her arms being pulled at, a man in a fire man's uniform was pulling her away as others began to extinguish he flames. "Mom!" Paige screamed as she fought against the fire fighter, but he pulled her back. He pulled her over to an ambulance that had pulled up and sat he inside, the paramedics looked Paige over there wasn't a scratch on her. Once the flames were dead and the firemen began to clear Paige walked over to the car. She looked in the passenger seat window and saw her mother, charred and burned. They were dead… both of them.
*** Present Time ***
Paige jolted out of her flashback when she heard a nock at the door; she wiped new tears off her cheeks and walked over to the door. She pulled it open and was greeted by Piper, she looked very concerned.
"Hey Piper, I'm really sorry about what happened down there," said Paige trying to act casual but no amount of acting could cover the redness of her face and the whimpering sound in her voice, Piper walked into the room and sat on the bed she was joined by Paige. Wrapping her arm around her sister she pulled her head in close to her chest.
"Paige, what did happen down there?" she asked stroking her sister soft crimson hair, Paige shrugged and sniffed, she could feel the tears coming again she got that tickly feeling in her nose you get when you're about to cry or about to sneeze. Paige looked upwards with her eyes trying to stop the tears from coming,
'Nothing…" she began but paused and sniffed, "Just today… is sort of… well its hard to explain… I'm really sorry," she finished, by this time fresh tears were flowing down her face and landing on her hands.
"Its ok Paige," sighed Piper, "Do you want to be alone?" she asked looking deep into her sisters teary eyes,
"Yeah," replied Paige, nodding causing the tears that were gripping to her face to fall to the ground.
"Ok," replied Piper, she kissing Paige lightly on the forehead and headed for the door, before leaving she turned around "when you need to talk you know where I am," she said and walked out closing the door behind her. As soon as the door closed Paige burst into tears, she was holding them back since Piper came in and couldn't stop them anymore. Piper stood outside the door, she could hear Paige crying but couldn't do anything; Apige wanted to be left alone… there was nothing she could do.
