PAIGE'S PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE
"Paige can you cover the bar, please?" Piper asked as she made her way over to her, Paige looked over at the two couples sat next to her and sighed, "Oh I get it; just because I'm the only single one here I get penalized." Phoebe and Jason were sat practically on top of each other, making love sick eyes at each other in between kisses and Andy and Prue were sat next to them doing much the same. Paige didn't want to say anything but secretly she was relieved, she had already spent a good hour trying to come up with a reason why she had to leave the table, but Prue and Phoebe wouldn't have it, they didn't want to push her away. They tried to decouple themselves but they were now oblivious to the youngest.
Paige stood up and headed over to the bar, things were pretty busy, so she got straight into it. As she started to serve the first customer she noticed Leo walk up to her and sit in front of her, "Dude...do you want to stay and talk to me?" Paige asked, handing a bottle of beer to a guy. Leo stepped in front of her, "Sorry...I come to see if Piper was able to take a break? But you can get me a beer!" he said with a charming smile, which Paige couldn't help but smile at, "Sure, leave me serving by myself." Leo took the bottle that she handed to him, "Weren't you out with Piper and Prue and Phoebe tonight?" "Yeah I was but..." she answered with a nod in the direction of the table she was sat at, Leo got the idea, "So you got roped into bar duty!" "Yeah, I think two of her guys went off, so me been single was automatically chosen."
Just as she said that Piper walked over and kissed Leo, Paige frowned and served another person. Piper finally lent back to get some air, and as she did she turned to the bar, "I'm sorry about this Paige. I just don't have staff." Paige smiled, "Piper it's fine really, I'm actually glad, Phoebe and Prue were kind of getting to me." "What do you expect from them...Andy and Prue back together and Phoebe is in the same country let alone the same room as Jason?" Piper explained, "I'm happy for them, just awkward...kind of...I'm still kind of new at the sister stuff..." With that Paige saw another customer and put her hand up to indicate she'd only be a second, she turned back to Leo and Piper, "don't get me wrong I love you guys more than anything there are just these awkward moments that kind of...you have had years of practice, me it's like bang, I don't know what to do or say or...you get the picture." "Paige. Why didn't you say anything?" Piper asked, Paige handed the guy a beer and turned back to Piper, "No Piper, it's not like I feel out of place...I've been alone for...most of my life, it's all I really know. What I'm saying is, it's a big change, really I'm telling you why sometimes I freeze don't know what or how to react." Piper nodded, "Well just because you've only been my sister for a few months...I love you like any of them, and even more when you're on my side, so I figured do you think tonight you could stick up for me, because Prue really is going to be pissed?" Piper said with a concerned face, Paige smiled, "What have you done?" Piper looked at her hands and mumbled, "Set her leather jacket alight." "Sorry sis, no can do...I'm not standing up to Prue, she really scares me" Piper smiled, "Trust me, she scares all of us." Paige looked across the room to them, "Tell you what I can do..." she looked at Piper, "I can stick around here and close up, and I'll work for the rest of the night, you can join them at the table of love!" she said rolling her eyes at the last part. Piper let go of Leo's hand, "Are you serious?" Piper asked, Paige nodded, "Sure I am you and Leo have little time together, don't want to disappoint him, I have know one to disappoint, you know that!" She joked and lent forward "...anything for my sister." She finished, Piper lent over the bar and pulled her into a hug, "Thanks sis." Piper now had the biggest smile on her face, she turned and kissed Leo, then Leo looked at a smiling Paige, "big enough break for her to take?" she asked, "Thanks Paige" Leo said, "That's great, you're the best." Paige smiled, "Not really it's starting to die down now...one condition though...none of you can do any work just be with your men and then you can head off home I'll shut up" Piper kissed Paige once again one the for head, "Thank you" "It's okay. Now go" Paige ordered with a smile, Leo and Piper headed over to the table and took a seat and Paige continued to serve the drinks.
About an hour and a half later, Paige was stood behind the bar, a guy was sat in front of her downing shorts by the double, "Hay doll put us another one in there!" his deep voice ordered, Paige looked at his shaking hands, "Dude, I think you've had enough. I think maybe you should go home and get to bed." The guy looked up at Paige, "I will...if you come with me!" he told her, Paige felt sick, "Look, go now...before I throw you out." The guy smiled, "What. You don't want me...you look up to it to me." He lent across the bar and stretched his hand out to touch Paige's arm but before he could make contact with her arm she reacted.
Piper was sat in around the table, each couple deep in conversation with the other couples, but each sister in the arms of their men. It was then that Phoebe happened to look across the bar to see Paige looking a bit nervous as she talked to the guy, it was then the guy starched out his arm to touch her the next thing that Phoebe saw was Paige throw a punch into his face causing his to fall to the floor of the crowded club. Phoebe shot to her feet, "Oh god" she shouted, as she made her way over to the bar, followed by the other sisters and there men.
Paige thrust her fist into his face, and as he hit the deck she made her way around the other side of the bar about to advance on him until she was grabbed by a bouncer, the other bouncer looked at Paige, "Get him out of here now!" The next thing Paige knew her three sisters were stood before her, "Paige what's happened?" Phoebe asked, Paige pulled herself from the bouncer, "Nothing..." The bouncer who now had the guy Paige hit to his feet, looked at Piper, "Mrs. Halliwell?" he asked, "You crazy fucking bitch!" the guy shouted, "Greg, get him out of here now!" Piper ordered her voice filled with anger.
Paige turned and walked in the direction of the back door; then down the corridor she pushed it open and walked out into the back ally of the club. She took a deep breath, 'Paige get hold of yourself' she told her self taking hold of her hand the trembled with anger. Piper, Prue and Phoebe emerged into the ally and looked at the youngest sisters back as she paced from side to side.
"What happened, Paige?" Piper asked, Paige turned to see them all stood there, 'think, quick' she thought, "It was...nothing!" she eventually said, "Paige you just hit one of my costumers, I know you and you wouldn't do that over nothing." Piper said, "No Piper you think you know me but really you know nothing." Paige shot back, Phoebe stepped forward, "Paige..." "It was nothing...just some jerk that drank too much...I told him to calm down, he never so I hit him, end of..." Paige shot back, "Well if that's all why's your hand trembling like that?" Phoebe asked, Paige looked down at her hand, "I don't want to talk about it" Paige said and started to walk towards the club, only to be stopped by Pipers hand on her shoulder, "Paige... like you said earlier, you are new at this sister thing...so I'm going to help you out a bit. We are all concerned about you and the only way you are going to get us to leave you alone is by talking to us..." Paige closed her eyes and silently cursed, and then she turned around to three concerned faces.
"Later, right now I am going to take a walk. I'll talk at home." She said, and then she looked at Piper, "I'm sorry about all this, I just can't get behind that bar again tonight." "Paige, I don't expect you to...just, before I let you go...I want to hear you tell me you're okay." Paige looked at the floor, "...I'm..." she couldn't so she avoided it, "Don't worry" with that she turned and left.
Piper watched as she walked away and turned to her sisters, "What just happened?" "I think our little sister has inner demons...just give her some time" Phoebe explained Piper and Prue nodded and then headed back to the club. "We'll talk tonight as soon as we get back" Prue concluded as the three headed back to the bar.
"Paige can you cover the bar, please?" Piper asked as she made her way over to her, Paige looked over at the two couples sat next to her and sighed, "Oh I get it; just because I'm the only single one here I get penalized."
