1991:

Prue 21

Piper 18(almost 19)

Phoebe 15 (almost 16)

"Hey Phoebe did you hear the news?"

"Hey Chrissy. No what's up?"

"Ryan's going to juvey hall."

"Wow that is news. When?"

"As far as I know he's already gone."

"How long is he gone for?"

"The judge gave him 1 year there then, get this, he's going to prison after his 19th birthday."

"Wow they really threw the book at him didn't they?"

"Yeah they did."

Phoebe sat on the grass as her and Chrissy talked about Ryan. In some ways Phoebe was disappointed. Ryan had been her boyfriend for two years. They had just broken up before he got arrested for dealing drugs. Her sisters had not approved of him and neither had Grams, after all he was 3 yrs older then her. She knew that as soon as they found out they would just say 'I told you so.'

Their break up was not pleasant either. Phoebe broke up with him and Ryan didn't take it very well. Ryan was in Pipers class making him three years older then Phoebe. Her sister figured that he was only using her. A way to get at the younger kids to sell his drugs to. Phoebe had also started to figure this out. Especially after she had seen him with a girl from Pipers class. He had said it was nothing but Phoebe wasn't stupid so she dumped him. He got angry and hit her and she know then that it was over.

Now he was going to prison for selling drugs. Phoebe was relived that he was gone. Every since they broke up he had hassled her to get back together, but she wanted no part of his drug life. She tried that once and she nearly died. If Prue hadn't showed up when she did Phoebe could have very easily died that night. Phoebe had been at party with Ryan and they started in the drugs. At first it was just marijuana but then Ryan broke out the pills and cocaine. Phoebe had never tried Coke but Ryan had convinced her it was just like smoking up. So she tried it. It was soon after that that Prue came crashing through the door demanding to see her sister. She had a bad feeling about that night, and when Phoebe didn't come home in time for her curfew Prue went looking for her.

Prue took Phoebe to the hospital and got her stomach pumped. She ended up spending a night in the hospital and Grams was furious when she found out. It was not that long after that, that Phoebe had broken up with Ryan.

Now Ryan was going to prison for at least 5 years for dealing. They would've given him more but as he was still underage that was the most they could give him.

"So five years?" Phoebe clarified

"Yeah but I want you to be careful."

Phoebe looked confused. "Why me? I was never dealing drugs. Prue would definitely kick my ass. And probably turn me in herself."

"I don't mean from the cops Pheebs. I mean from them." Chrissy pointed over to a bunch of guys standing against the school fence. It was Ryan's gang.

"What's up with them, they all know that I broke up with Ryan, and that I'm now clean. It's kinda tough doing track and every other sport that I play when your stoned all the time."

"I know that, you know that and so does everybody else in school. But apparently Ryan made it perfectly clear that when he gets out he's looking for you."

"Why me?"

"He thinks you ratted on him. Apparently the cops knew stuff that only you and a few of his close pals over there would know. He knows it wasn't any of them so it must have been you."

"Whoa. I never talked to anyone. I broke up with him and I just wanted out."

"Just be careful Phoebe. You're my best friend and I don't wanna see anything happen to you."

"Thanx Chrissy, for the heads up."

"No problem. Look I gotta go. You take care. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah see ya Chrissy. And thanx again."

The next few years at school went by smoother then Phoebe had thought they would. After the gang had graduated she never saw them again. And they had only approached her once during her remaining year in school. She ran into some of them on her way home after her last class one June. She was running late as it was, for she was going to get ready for her senior prom. As she rounded the corner a bunch of the gang were sitting there almost waiting for her. She had taken a deep breath and continued forward. Luckily for Phoebe though Prue had rounded the corner at the same time in her car and stopped and picked up her baby sister. One of them yelled out to her that she couldn't hide forever. Prue had pressed the statement but not to much as she didn't want to ruin her baby sisters' big day.

Phoebe had never told her sisters what Chrissy had told her about Ryan blaming her for getting arrested. All she had ever told them was that he was going to prison for 5yrs. It was a decision she one day would regret.

Ten years later, Present:

Walking down a street at night wasn't a very smart thing to do even for a witch. She had convinced herself that it would be ok, it wasn't that far. Besides it was such a beautiful night out she had to just get out and walk. Then as she rounded a corner she heard something behind her. Stopping and turning there was nothing there. Taking one more look around she continued on her way. Almost at her house she heard the sound again. She knew that someone or something was following her. "Who's there?"

Receiving no answer she turned again. As she stepped forward an arm grabbed her from behind and a hand placed over her mouth. She struggled but it was no use.

"This is for old times Phoebe and the hell that I went through."

Then Phoebe felt a sharp pain in her arm. Realizing what was happening she squirmed even more, trying desperately to get away. It was no use. What ever he had injected into her arm was starting to take effect. As she slowly went limp in his arms.

"NOOOOO!" Bolting up from her sleep Phoebe was covered in perspiration. She grabbed at her arm first checking to make sure that what she had seen was indeed a nightmare.

Prue came running into her sisters' room ready to send a demon flying. She and Piper had just got home form P3 and had been talking on the couch when they heard Phoebe scream.

"Pheebs it's ok we got you now." Prue said as she wrapped her arms around Phoebe and pulled her into a hug. Rocking her back and forth to get her to calm down.

As there was no demon in Phoebes room they assumed that she had a premonition or a nightmare. Both Prue and Piper knew from previous experience that they had to let Phoebe tell them on her own if they wanted her to make any sense. So they sat beside her and comforted the best that they could.

After a few minutes they had calmed her down some.

"Pheebs you ok now?" Prue asked with concern.

Phoebe had her head resting on Prues shoulder and was almost sitting in her lap. She just nodded her response to her sister as she tried to put together what she had seen.

"You wanna tell us what you saw honey?" Piper asked her gently

Phoebe just stayed where she was. Not moving from Prues arms. She knew there, nobody could ever hurt her. Piper didn't push it. She knew that Phoebe would tell them when she was ready.

Phoebe sat in Prues arms. She knew that she would have to tell her sisters eventually about what she saw. But right now she just wanted to feel safe. She could feel her eyes getting heavy as she slowly drifted back to sleep.

"Prue." Piper said as she pointed to Phoebe

Prue looked down at her sleeping sister. Carefully placing her back on her bed, both sisters kissed her good night and left her room.

"I wonder what that was all about?" Piper asked curiously

"I don't know. But when I held her she was shaking like a leaf."

"I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow. G'night Prue."

"Night Piper."

Prue changed and her big sister instinct kicked in. Making her way to Phoebes room she carefully crawled in behind her sleeping sister. Who, out of her own instincts, curled into her big sisters arms.

"Love you Prue." She said in her sleep

Kissing the back of Phoebe's forehead Prue answered back the same sentiment. "Love you too Pheebs."

Piper's heart also got the better of her and she too entered into Phoebe room. Seeing Prue tucked in with Phoebe snuggled up to her, she carefully got in the bed with her two sisters, gently placing her hand on Phoebes back so that she knew that she was there.

Soon all three were a sleep and all was peaceful. For now; until they found out about Phoebes nightmare or premonition.
