This brought their daughter to her breaking point and she enters a world of sex, drugs, and doing nothing but fighting with her mother.

Chapter 1- The Beginning Of The Struggle

Parker Melinda Halliwell-Wyatt lay in her boyfriend Dillon's bed, his arm wrapped protectively around her. She looked over at his clock, "Damn It! It's after 2am I was suposed to be home by 10:30pm!" She grabs her clothes and quickly got dressed. She kissed Dillon and climbed out the window, hid behind a tree and orbed into the conservatory of the manor.

She quickly tried to tip-toe upstairs, quietly cursing herself for not orbing into her room. She was just about to step on the first step when from behind her, she heard Piper yell "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?"

Parker spins around tolook at her mom, "out."

Piper says "Out where?"

Parker says "It's none of you damn business where I was."

Piper says "Of course it's my business your my daughter and watch your language!"

Parker rolls her eyes and says "Why don't you do us both a favor and go ruin somebody elses life!"

SMACK!

Piper regreted it before her hand made contact with her daughters face. "Oh sweetie I'm so sorry!" she said trying to pull her daughter into a hug. Parker just backed away and orbed to her room.

Piper went running up the stairs to her daughters room.

What Parker forgot was to lock the door and Piper came in seconds after she orbed.

Piper forceably pulled Parker into a tight hug. "I am so, so, so sorry! I never wanted to hurt you. I don't know what came over me. I could just kill myself."(A/N: just trying to emphasize her point.)

Parker stood stiff her face still hurt from the smack. "So could I." She whispers hoping her mom can't hear her.

Piper's eyes went wide and she hugs her daughter closer. "Don't you dare say that! If anything ever happened to you I don't know what I'd do. Suicide should never be a resort. Don't think that way. OK, sweetheart?"

Parker pulled back just to look at her mom and noticed she was crying. She hugged her mom and said "OK". She knew she couldn't keep the promise but her mom needed it. So, she gave it.

Piper finally pulled back when she realized it was 2:30am. "Go to bed, We'll talk more in the morning."

Parker nodded and watched her mom leave. She went over to her mirror and looked at where her mom had smacked her. The spot was red and a bit swollen. A single tear ran down her cheek and she went to bed.
