You should read two of my other fics, MorningStar and No one listens before reading this as hey both
tie up.
Maybe Memories
Memories are what we're made of. The mix of good and bad. We learn from or bad memories, let
them shape our beliefs, and its how we evolve. Our good memories give us the faith we need to go
through life. But not always enough. We need the love and the support of friends, of family. We need
those few people who don't need words to know how you are and listen to you whine, hold you while
you cry and tell you assang jokes until they cheer you up. Cause someone should always know you
better than you know yourself.
But what if you are alone? Know one should have to go through that but most of us have at one time
or another. Right? Well that's what this little tale is all about - not being alone anymore, but having
to share your past. It's a difficult task to relieve mistakes, memories, and old wounds, yet we do it,
cause sooner or later you find those people who love you and trust you and they need to know you,
past as well as present.
Piper held Paige close taking comfort in her steady breathing. Her little sister had fallen asleep on the
sofa, after watching talk shows all morning. Piper had come through about 15 minutes ago and
found Paige in the middle of a nightmare, so she donethe only thing she could- made Paige feel safe.
The nightmare was probably more an old memory playing back. It'd been 3 weeks since Cole had
taken and tortured Paige. She had only got out of the hospital yesterday with the promise she'd rest.
Phoebe entered the manor after a morning at the office. She walked into the living room and saw
Paige asleep in Piper's arms.
"She ok?" Phoebe whispered.
"Yeah, she was having a bad dream." Piper whispered back.
Phoebe nodded concerned for Paige. She silently left to go make some tea.
Paige woke up thinking it was strange she was in someone's arms. She was relieved to find it was
Piper, "sure you've got the time to be sitting around like this?" She asked with a cheeky smile.
Piper started to untangle herself from Paige, "well, you know if you don't want me..."
Paige gripped onto Piper, "didn't say that, did I?"
Piper grinned and relaxed again, "you really had me going that time, Paige." she said sarcastically.
"Hey! Cut the injured person some slack here!" she joked.
"I'm sorry Leo can't heal you honey." Piper said genuinely.
Paige waved it off. "It's not his fault. The elders are right. I can't go from the critical list to perfectly
fine. The doctors would never believe it. We could get exposed."
"I know, but I'd prefer you at full health."
"Yeah, I guess I'm going to be useless if a demon attacks."
Piper frowned, "I didn't mean that, we'd cope if a demon came, even though they are probably going
to leave us alone for a while. I just meant so you don't have to be in any pain. You put on a brave
face but I can see how uncomfortable you get."
Paige shrugged, "so it does get annoying with the stiches and cast itching like hell but I guess I'm
happy enough being alive... and with you guys."
Piper felt her heart tug, "you have us now and you will forever. We're never letting you go." she
pulled Paige closer.
"There was a time when I didn't have anyone."
Piper waited to see where Paige was going.
"Piper, before I woke, from the coma, I remember hearing you. Just little things and you said we
could learn about each. I want that, I need to tell you who I am and how I got to where I am. And
I'd like to know you and Pheebs better too."
Piper nodded, "I understand. I need that too." She kissed Paige on the head. "I'm going to tell
Phoebe, then we can talk."
