Prue's Secret
Chapter one
"Prue, honey, come on were going to be late" Piper told her older sister, looking at her from the door way of her room. "Coming" Prue answered in a monotone and she stood up and grabbed her purse, and catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She was wearing black from head to toe; she and her sisters were headed to Andy's funeral. Prue signed and flicked her hair over her shoulder before following Piper down the stairs.

They drove to the church in silence, and Prue looked out the window dreading it more with every mile that they came closer to Andy's funeral .After a few minutes Piper pulled into the parking lot and turned off the car, starting to get out, Phoebe got out too and they looked expectantly at Prue who remained frozen in her seat. "Come on Prue" Phoebe said softly. "Okay" Prue agreed, starting to unbuckle her seat belt, but she stopped again, "You two go ahead" Prue said, not looking her sisters in the eye as she spoke, "I'm just going to say here" "Prue" Piper said, glancing at the church hesitantly, they were already late. "It's fine Piper, I just don't want to…I can't…just go" Prue said shrugging, unable to put her feelings in to words "Are you sure?" Phoebe asked, "I really think that you'll regret it if you don't come too" Prue smiled thinly when Phoebe said regret, there were a lot of things she regretted with Andy, but she was sure that this would not be one of them, "Just go, I'm fine, I just want to say here" Prue insisted and her sisters could see that she wasn't going to change her mind.
Prue laid her head against the car window as she watched her sisters walk away, there was so much she wished they understood, that she wanted to tell them about Andy, to explain how she was acting, she knew that they were worried about her, she'd never cried over his death, she knew that they thought there was something very wrong with her that Andy got killed right in front of her and she didn't even shed a tear, but she couldn't. Prue didn't know what she felt, she knew that she should be sad, but she just…wasn't, Prue felt empty, she felt regrets about their relationship, but not sadness, it was sort of a relief to her, Prue thought she'd gotten over what happed to her so many years ago, but every time she saw Andy, she was forced to relive it again and, at least, now with his death maybe it would end.

An hour later Piper and Phoebe walked back to the car, both of their eyes rimmed red from crying. "Andy's parents asked where you were" Piper told Prue once she got in the car. "Oh" Prue answered, "I'll drive" she volunteered, hoping to distract herself from her sisters. "Um, Okay" Piper said, surprised Prue changed the subject so quickly. Prue started the car, mentally blocking out her sisters conversation "Prue" Piper said, concerned as she saw her older sister grip the steeling wheel so tight that her knuckles were white. Prue didn't answer. "Prue" Piper said again, reaching over and resting a hand lightly on Prue's arm. Prue flinched when Piper touched her and the car swerved a little bit. "What? Sorry Piper I wasn't listening" Prue said as calmly as she could. "I just asked if you were okay, you're not the only one who lost Andy, you can talk about it with us too" Piper told her. Phoebe nodded, looking at Prue from the back seat "Andy was a great guy, we'll all miss him" she said sincerely.
Prue shook her head, they had no idea, no idea what he was really like. "It's okay to miss him too, honey" Phoebe added. Prue shook her head more forcefully "No" she said softly, they were pulling into the driveway of the manor now. "Yes it is" Piper added. "Stop!" Prue said, her voice much louder than she meat it to be. Piper and Phoebe looked at her in surprise "Don't talk about him!" Prue shouted, her voice was shrill and on the edge of hysterical. She got out of the car and walked into the manor, going straight up to her room without even looking back at her sisters.
Prue sat on her bed and pulled her knees up to her chest, rocking back and forth, staring into space, she just couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't sit there and have everyone tell her how great Andy was. Nobody knew…no body knows, it repeated in Prue's head over and over; you can't tell…nobody knows…you can't tell people now.
Piper knocked on Prue's door and then walked in without waiting for an answer. She sat on the edge of Prue's bed next to her, unsure of what to say, Prue didn't even seem aware of her presence. "Prue" Piper said softly, not knowing what else to say. "I can't tell" Prue said, more to herself than Piper. "Tell what?" Piper asked, scooting closer to Prue slowly, hoping she would flinch this time. "I can't tell" Prue repeated, still rocking herself back and forth. "You can tell me anything" Piper replied, wrapping her arms around Prue, hoping she could coax her into talking. The soft understanding in Piper's voice was too much for Prue and she broke down completely. Prue hugged Piper and started to sob. "Oh Piper" Prue sobbed "Piper…Piper…Piper" Piper hugged her back, afraid for her; Piper had never seen Prue cry before, let alone completely breakdown like this. "What happened?" Piper asked quietly. Prue shook her head and cried harder "I…I…oh, Piper…he raped me" Prue cried. Piper gasp in surprise, this was the last thing she expected to hear Prue say. "Who raped you?" Piper asked, tears coming to her eyes as well. Prue looked Piper in the eye for the first time in a while, Piper realized. "Andy" Prue whispered and seemed almost surprised herself that she said it aloud "Andy raped me"
