A/n- be nice! Tell me what you think, be honest.
when the ~~~ comes it's because the point of view has changed from the girl to Phoebe and vise versa.
D/c- I don't own Charmed bla bla bla...
She stared out the window, out into the pouring rain. She wondered why life was the way it was. She hugged her knees and out the window she looked, nothing else seemed important, life just didn't seem worth living anymore, and yet she couldn't bring herself to do anything that would end it all. She laid her head down on the pillow, hugged her stuffed cat, and slowly drifted away into an innocent sleep, into a dream land where everything was perfect and no harm could be done.

Paige woke up and got dressed. On her way downstairs, she tripped on a shoe.
"Phoebe, what did I tell you about leaving your shoes around? Someone could get hurt!"
She went into the kitchen. Piper was sitting there, sipping her coffee and reading the newspaper. "She's not here," Piper said. "She spent the night out again."
"She needs to start being responsible. She can't be out partying every night! She needs to get a job, she needs to be a woman!" Paige exclaimed.
"Let her be, Paige. As long as she is well," Piper said calmly.
"But Piper, you and I both know that it is time for her to take some responsibility! I mean look at yourself, you're exhausted, you need to tell her she's not a child anymore, because if you don't, I will," answered Paige.
"It'll be fine, I'll speak to her when she comes back," Piper finally agreed, and went back to reading the newspaper and drinking her coffee.

"I'll have the pancakes and some orange juice, please," Phoebe tells the waitress. She's in a diner. The walls are painted in a light pink color, an old music box is at the far end of the corner, Phoebe looks around.
A girl wearing baggy jeans and a red top comes in and sits on the table next to Phoebe. She looks up at Phoebe and smiles weakly. Phoebe smiles back and the girl turns away. Suddenly the girls starts sobbing quietly to herself, her long brown hair covers her face as she is facing down. Tears fall on the menu. Phoebe watches her, not knowing whether to go and comfort her or just mind her business.
The girl gets up and leaves. Phoebe watches her run out of the diner. She still questions whether to help, but what position is she in to help when she herself is running away from her problems? The waitress comes back with her order.
"Here you go ma'am," the waitress says, smiling.
"Thanks," replies Phoebe, smiling back. She takes a couple of bites, sips a bit of juice. Gets up leaves the money and the table and walks out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phoebe opens the door and almost instantly she hears "Phoebe is that you?" it was of course Piper "I need to speak to you. Would you come here please?"
Phoebe drops the keys on the side table and hang her coat. "Coming Piper"
She walks in the living room where Piper is sitting on the couch watching TV. "You rang?" Phoebe says and smiles.
"Where have you been?" Piper says annoyed by Phoebe's disappearance.
"I was out…" Answered Phoebe.
"That much I figured out. Do you know how worried Paige and I get when you do things like that? " Says Piper irritably.
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." Phoebe says and turns away.
"If you were a big girl, you'd start being more responsible!" Piper yells as Phoebe runs upstairs to her room.
" You need to star being responsible…" Phoebe mocked "I wish they'd leave me alone I know what I'm doing…" She grabbed her stuff and went to the shower.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I wish people would stop telling me what to do. I can't do this anymore…My mother's dead, I have to live with that ass that my father is…I don't see why I have to live. Why did she leave me? "
She sits down pulls her knees under her chin "And then my friends are not even my friends, all they do is pity me. I don't need their pity"
She pulls a bottle out of her bag "The only thing that makes me relax is this shit." She takes a gulp. "Ha, and I'm suppose to thank god for my life? Why thank you lord! Thanks for taking my mother away, thanks for letting me live! It was me who was supposed to die in that accident, not her! If she hadn't begged me not to drive, I would be the one smashed by a bus, I would be gone and I wouldn't be suffering…" She takes another gulp.

The next morning.
Phoebe is in the kitchen looking at the classifieds when Piper comes in.
"What are you doing up so early?" Piper questioned.
"I'm being a big girl. I'm gonna go look for a job today." Answered Phoebe still looking at the paper doodling a pen with her fingers.
"Well I'm glad to see you finally got some sense into that head of yours." replied Piper
"Yup, that's me now, sensible Phoebe." said Phoebe, knowing that she didn't really mean that. All she wanted was to make her sister feel better. She knew she hadn't been the best person in the world for the past months, as much as she regretted she knew that not much had changed.
"So find anything yet?" Asked Piper while getting her French toast.
"Not much. There's one looking for a receptionist at the that restaurant downtown. "Aurora " I believe the name is." answered Phoebe.
"It's a good place. Leo and I went there once." said Piper without looking at her sister. Phoebe nodded and ran her eyes throughout the paper. Her mind was no longer there, she was thinking of the girl she saw yesterday in the diner. She wondered what happened to the girl, she wondered why she was crying…Suddenly she felt a nudge.
"You alright there partner?" asked Paige
"Paige! Hey, yeah." Phoebe woke up out of her trance "Just thinking about what job to get. I guess I'll be going now. " she got up, got her stuff which was lying on the table. Just as she was leaving the kitchen she turned around and said "I love you guys." with a faint smile she left.
..........................................................
Just as Phoebe turned around the corner she saw the girl. This time she didn't hesitate, she stopped the car and chased the girl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She felt someone grab her arm, she turned around to see a young woman with brown hair wearing fairly tight clothes. She looked slightly familiar.
"Hi, I'm Phoebe." The woman announced and extended her hand towards the girl.
"Do I know you?" She said.
"I saw you in the diner yesterday." Phoebe replied.
"Yes, and what do you want from me?"
"I just thought we could talk, you seemed so upset yesterday." Said Phoebe now feeling very awkward, maybe she shouldn't have stopped.
The girl looked at her with a suspicious look in her eye "You're not one of my father's friends are you?" she questioned.
"No. I don't even know you." Phoebe answered honestly.
The girl smiled. "I'm Sarah. Nice to meet you Phoebe." she dove in and hugged Phoebe.
