„Piper , why didn´t you tell me?" , Prue asked her sister being really mad at her .
How could she hide such a big thing from her ?
"I´m sorry Prue , but you know how you would have reacted.
I just wanted to give her a chance , that´s all." , Piper apologized looking deep into Prue´s eyes.
She saw her anger but also her disappointment and it hurt bad.
"Why do you want to give her a chance , it´s not like I´ve been the devil , she was the one that betrayed me .
She was the one that went away without telling us , she was the one that…" ,
Prue didn´t end her sentence because she saw her baby sister standing at the door with tears in her eyes.
In the past she would have felt sorry , but not this time , she didn´t believe one tear of Phoebe.
"I´m sorry Prue " , Phoebe looked down at the ground , her arms tight around her.
She wanted to feel save , she wanted it so badly , but even the manor didn´t feel like her home any more.
She knew , that she houldn´t have gone to New York without telling their sisters , but Prue was that mad at her and she couldn´t stand Piper´s disappointed glare any more.
"Shut up Phoebe" , Prue stood up , tears in her eyes and all the fury , that she had kept inside the last year , seemed to come out.
Piper looked shocked at her big sister.
"I don´t want to deal with you any more , You betrayed me , you´re the reason I couldn´t sleep well the last one year."
Phoebe couldn´t see any more , her tears went down that fast , every word of her big sister hurt that much , she couldn´t believe it ,
her world had changed so much.
"Prue , I´m really sorry , I…I…" , Phoebe began to stutter , she couldn´t tell it , it was too late and so much had been broken.
"What is it Phoebe." , Piper tried to becalm their fight.
"Nothing" , Phoebe didn´t dare to look into her eyes . She couldn´t tell it to them.
"Well always it´s nothing." , abruptly Prue sprung forward to her sister and slapped her.
She had never slapped her baby sister but this time she couldn´t help it.
Phoebe fell to the ground and hold her cheek , her eyes as red as it , but she didn´t feel pain , not the physical one.
Piper was standing beside her
"Prue , that´s enough you two." ,
she screamed , then she looked down at Phoebe and placed one hand at her shoulder , but instantly Phoebe turned away from her , like she didn´t realize that it was her sister.
Scared she looked up to her but when realizing , that it was Piper her gaze changed and she stood up and ran out of the manor , crying and whispering
"Life sucks."
Piper didn´t react fast enough to run after her and just stood between Prue who looked stunned.
"That´s how she always handles it , running away if it comes to a fight. Always." , with that she went back into her room and lied on her bed .
Piper sat on the couch and a little tear appeared in her eyes.
Why did Phoebe spoil their relationship?
Something wasn´t right , she remembered the last year :
"Hey , guess what little one" , Piper asked her little sister when she was coming into the kitchen looking exhausted.
"I don´t know." , Phoebe just answered uninterested and lied her head on the table.
"Prue got a new boyfriend." ,
Piper whispered , knowing that she shouldn't tell her anything cause Prue wanted to tell it to Phoebe.
"What? Why am I always the last one to know such interesting things" , Phoebe nagged like a little child.
"Cause you're the big baby of the family" , Piper teased her hold out her tongue.
"What is he like?" ,, Phoebe asked interested , but stopped asking when Prue came into the kitchen.
"Who?" , Prue asked curiously.
"No one , we were just talking about…" , Piper tried to find an alibi.
"about tomatoes ." , Phoebe finished with a big smile.
"Right , we were talking about tomatoes." , Piper rolled her eyes and pinched Phoebe a little.
Such an crazy alibi would always come from the youngest who couldn´t hide a secret.
Prue looked to Piper who was just grinning
and then to Phoebe who looked away, what she always did when she was hiding anything trying to keep it hidden.
"Phoebe , look at me." , Prue said and held her head in her hands , but suddenly she noticed something.
"Pheebs , you´re burning up. Do you feel sick?" , she asked worried.
"No , I just feel a little weak." , she answered but not telling the truth , cause today would be a concert she didn´t want to miss .
In reality she felt very sick.
"A little weak , Piper could you get the thermometer , please .I think our little sister got a fever."
"Prue , don´t make a big deal out of such little things.
I just got a little headache , that´s all."
Phoebe didn´t want to check her temperature but her big sisters forced her.
"Phoebe , stop being so stubborn , if you got a fever we got to see a doctor." , Piper answered demanding and put the thermometer into her ear.
She was shocked when realizing that Phoebe really was burning up.
"Prue , I think , we have to go to the hospital." , Piper looked at Prue with big eyes and showed her the thermometer which caused Prue to widen her eyes.
"Come on little one , we got to check you through." , Prue tried to lift Phoebe a little but Phoebe didn´t cooperate.
"I won´t go to the hospital , stop mothering me."she screamed .
"Phoebe Marie Halliwell , would you get your ass up , this minute." , Prue demanded.
Phoebe knew that she had no chance to rebel now and just wept , it was too much ,
everything hurt and she wanted to go to the concert.
"I can´t , it hurts and I want to go to the concert and…." , now she lost it and started to cry into her hands.
Prue and Piper sat beside her and stroked her back
" Come on sweety , I´ll cary you." ,
Prue said and lifted her up , using her power a little.
It was normal that Phoebe . who always was the one full of energy , behave like a child when she was ill .
She hated lying in bed and feeling weak.
Prue carried her to the car and lied her down at the backseat an sat beside her.
Automatically Phoebe´s head fell on Prue´s lap and she closed her eyes.
The last night she hadn´t slept one second and now it seemed like the tiredness overcame her.
Prue stroked her and kissed her front head " I love you baby one" .
Piper opened her eyes and again a little tear fell down her cheek.
She realized that maybe this sisterly moments would never appear again.
Now one sister was lying upstairs being really mad and disappointed at the youngest-of course she had every right to be.
And the other one being alone in the darkness.
Her fears grew when it started to rain and still there was no sign of Phoebe coming back to the manor , even not two hours later.
Phoebe , why did you have to do it ?
