Okay wanting something is not all that uncommon. I know that at one point everyone wants something, be it a simple something, or something much greater. Some I know wish for a hell of a lot more than a person can give. But some ask only for a mere something

Some only ask for love, and appreciation, some to be acknowledged by a person and be respected.

chapter 1 - Insecurity

September 12, 2004

The night was still, you know the still ness that I am talking about. The hot muggy night, nothing much in way of anything is happening. Prue never did like this kind of night because something, always no exception has always broke the stillness.

She stood in the doorway of her son's room looking over the bed where her sleeping son lay. She was in deep thought, worried about her family. Andy out there somewhere in god knows what kind of situation, Piper down stairs with Rob, something between them was off she could tell. And then there was Phoebe and Paige when was she not worried about them, her babies. Then there was this little fellow, her soldier. My little man is what she'd call himâ€and Jesus she feared so much with this guy. Was she good enough that was something that she would continuously ask herself? What if she wasn't up to been a mom? For five years now, day after day she had asked that question but she never did find the answer.

----------------------

"Piper is something wrong?" His voice cut through her thoughts, the voice that she loved, straight from the man she loved. She looked over at him, his face so loving his eyes filled with concern. He was hansom yet dirty charm about him. Dirty blond hair flopped over his face, his blue eyes held a lot of emotion. He had a past, and he had a heart.

Piper moved closer to him, he moved his arm around her neck and she rested her head on his shoulder she took hold of his hand and he rested the hand around her neck on her upper arm. "Feel better?" He asked.

Piper nodded, "A little" She explained, and she didn't really know what was up with her. She just had a feeling. "Rob, us, me and you we're okay, right?"

Rob was a little taken aback, something was off with Piper tonight and this confirmed hi suspicions. "Piper, I love you so much, why wouldn't we be?" Piper shrugged, "What's wrong Pipe. Babe has something happened?"

Piper held onto his hands a little tighter, "I justâ€I feel a bitâ€I don't know Rob it just feels like, something isn't right"

"Between us?" He asked getting extremely worried.

Piper picked up on his fear and answered quickly, "No, I general. I mean Rob I love you so much. It's just I have a wired feeling like something is wrong with someone in my family. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't you. That you weren't upset or something"

"Piper look at me" He ordered, she did, "Do I look like I want to be anywhere else right now. Or be holding someone else? I love you. And us, right now we are doing good. Don't think any different." Piper nodded and he lent forward placing a kiss on her lips softly. She closed her eyes and relished in his comfort and security. Now that she knew herself and Rob were okay, she felt a little better but there was still somethingâ€something was off tonight. And something big was going to happen. Of this she could be sure.

--------------------

"Chris look just tell me what is wrong." Paige wanted to know, Chris was been off with her something was wrong but he was been his same irrational self. "Look Chris, talk to me would you. Has something happened?"

Chris looked at Paige, he loved her so much but his problem was that he had trouble showing it, a lot of trouble. He had to admit at times he envied what Paige had, the family that loved her, he could only wish for that. He stood up from the bench that they were sat on, and took a few paces forward. Paige was totally confused. As she watched his back she noticed him stop, then turn around. The moonlight caught his face and she saw something, PAIN.

She stood to her feet, "Chris"

He looked at her, his girlfriend, one of his two best friends the only person that loved him. "Paige, I don't know what to do anymore. Everything's just" he stopped

Paige walked forward and grabbed his shirt, "Talk to me Chris now!" She said firmly, he looked into her eyes.

"I love you Paige" he said, "you know that right?"

Paige lifted her hand up to his face she cupped his cheek, "Hay, where's this coming from" Something was wrong with him.

"I do not want to lose you Paige" HE admitted as he took one of Paige's hands.

"Hay Chrisâ€you are not going to lose me! Everâ€I love you. And I'm not sure of much but I'm sure of that. Me and youâ€You will NOT lose me" Chris put his arm around Paige and pulled her close, "What brought this on?" She asked.

"I got a letter today. It was fromâ€my dad." He explained, putting is hand into his pocket he pulled out an envelope and handed it to Paige. Paige looked at the letter then opened it slowly. She began to read.

Chris,

Things are not going to get better, after your mom died you and I both know that there was nothing keeping me at home. It's for your own good, not having me around. I just wanted to let you know that I'm selling the house. You need to get out of there by Friday 22nd July.

Do not make this any harder than it is already. And after that Date do not try and make contact with my self or Jack, your brother needs a new start. Neither of us need you and your mess around us.

I'll call before Friday; make sure that you got the letter. After that, you will never have any reason to contact me again.

Frank

Paige was speechless, she looked up into Chris's eye's they were filled with tears. "Iâ€Chris, I'm soâ€sâ€sorry" She managed she put her arms around him and he around her they held each other, tight. Paige giving Chris the support he needed and Chris giving Paige what she needed, reassurance that he was still here. She couldn't let him lose it.

Tonight Chris had told his girlfriend that his Dad had practically thrown him out of his life. He felt a sence of need, need to be held. So that's what she did, she held him. They walked back to his car and once sat in it, he let the tears fall, Paige was there for him, like she always had been and always would. She took his hand, "I love you Chris" She spoke. HE needed to hear that, Reassurance that someone loved him, he needed itâ€so bad.

"Come on, I'm gonna drive" Paige said after half hour of silence.

"Drive where?" HE asked,

"Home" She explained,

Chris shook his head, "I have no home Paige, it's over. I have nothing"

"Chris you have me, and you always will. Phoebe, you know she'll always be around. And Chris you have a home. With me" Paige was now sat behind the wheel, he was close to her though, sat not far as he needed the comfort.

"I;m sorry" He spoke, "About it all"

"You have nothing to be sorry about, it's fine. I'm here for you"
