1. Choices

Don't you just hate those people whose only part in life is to tell you what to do and how to do it?

I used to but now I don't.

I actually didn't hate her, my grams that is. I loved her but I guess I never really showed it.

She was one of those people who you knew would go on forever, she was strong, strict and always right. (According to her anyway.)

That's why it came as such a shock when the heart attack hit and now she's gone and we're all alone, left to care for ourselves. If only I had fully understood what was about to come, maybe I could have saved us?

-----

The day started like they always do here in San Francisco, with a very annoying sun that shone right in through my window. I swear it does that just to torment me. I pulled the covers over my head and tried to block it out.

"Pruuuue" my morning alarm clock never fails. I wonder who did what this time. Soon the pounding on the door would start I thought and seconds later it started.

"Coming" I mumbled and threw the covers off me and crawled out of bed. With drunken eyes and ruffled hair I opened the door to my room. Outside stood my youngest sister, so sweet, so innocent. "What's wrong Paige?"

"I can't do it, not yet" her voice said what that little voice in my head had screamed all night.

"We have to Paige" I said even though every part of me screamed against it.

"I'm not ready" she said tearfully. Without hesitation I pulled her into a hug, something that had become all too distant after grams death. I guess everyone grieved differently and we had all distanced ourselves but we were sisters and we needed each other. "It's too soon to go back to school."

"We'll be fine" I said pulling out all the encouragement I didn't have. "Now go and get yourself ready and we'll have breakfast" I said and released her from the hug. Watching her walk off back to her room with her head down almost broke my heart. Why did this have to happen to us? How could she leave us? What did we do to deserve this? I guess those are questions we will never get answered because who can talk to someone who died?

I went back to my room, took a quick shower and got dressed. Would all black be too much? I put on black trousers and a black T-shirt. I was mourning, wasn't I?

After I brushed my long raven hair until in shone just like mum used to do I did my makeup and picked up my school bag from under a pile of old clothes. I chunked down my books and after some hesitation also my cheerleading outfit. If I was going back to life I would do it all the way.

On my way downstairs I couldn't help but think of how quiet the house seemed, was it really no more then two weeks ago that it had been the mad house I was used to?

I found all three of my sisters in the kitchen, Piper, the second oldest was behind the stove like always. How she had gotten the cocking gene was a big surprise. Me, I couldn't even boil an egg and that is not an exaggeration.

I sat down at the table opposite Paige and Phoebe who both picked in their food.

"So are you guys ready for school?" I asked overly cheerful. Phoebe just gave me one of her famous looks and continued to stare down at her plate.

"Food?" Piper placed a plate in front of me and sat down next to me.

"Thanks" I replied and slowly begun to eat.

We all ate in silence; I don't think anyone cared that much either. It was not that we were angry at each other it was just that we didn't feel like talking I guess.

"Time to go" I announced a few minutes later after I glanced at the kitchen clock over the door.

"Great" Piper mumbled as she went out to get her bag. I knew she didn't like school and a day like this could only mean worse for her but she kept insisting on not asking for help. I guess she was like mum in that way, she was the most like mum in every way.

"Daydream much?" I looked up from my thoughts and found Phoebe smirking at me from the kitchen door.

"Let's go" I got up and went to get my bag which I had left in the hallway.

Soon we were all packed up in my car, it was not a fancy car but it got me from point A to point B. Grams had worked extra all year to by me it for my sixteen birthday last year which made it extra special.

When we arrived at school we walked as a group in through the doors of the building but soon we split up in different directions. I walked down to my locker where two of my best friends stood and corrected their makeup and hair in a mini mirror.

"Hey" Nathalie said happily as she spotted me. She and Sarah both hurried up to my locker and almost pushed me inside of it in the process.

"Hi" I said weakly as I hung of my jacket and bag and took out my math book before I closed the locker.

"What's wrong with you?" Sarah asked as she probably picked up on my lack of enthusiasm. Nathalie just gave her friend a stupid look and placed her arm over my shoulders.

"You have all right to be down but we will cheer you up" she said as she led me down the crowded corridor. This was something I was used to, ever since I could remember it had been me, Nat and Sarah but why did it feel so wrong?

"Thanks but I don't feel like being cheered up at the moment" ducked under her arm and spun around on my way to the right classroom.

I never even turned around to see if she got mad I just went inside the class room and sat down in the back row. I was the only one there so far so I placed my arms on the desk and laid my head down just to shut out the rest of the world for a little while if possible.

"That looks comfortable" I lifted my head even though I knew who that voice belonged to.

"It is" I replied and smiled as he sat down next to me and placed his books in front of him as the good student he was. To be honest I would never get trough the class without his help.

"So how are you feeling?" Andy asked on a more serious note.

"Fine."

"Prue you're lying" Andy said.

That was the only problem with having the same best friends since I was five, he could see straight through me as if I was transparent.

"Okay I feel like crap, happy now?" I asked but couldn't help but smile. Believe it or not but that was the first time someone asked how I was and really meant it since grams died.

"Much" he grinned. "So how about we go to my house after school and study?"

"How is studying gonna make me feel better?" I asked and raised my left eyebrow.

"You'll be with me" he said innocently. "Besides my mum's worried about you."

"Okay, I'll tell my sisters later" I said, seeing myself defeated.

Besides it was not like I had something waiting for me at home.

If only I had known better, if only I had done something different, if only I had been there. Maybe things would be different…

Okay that was the first chapter, what did you think? Please review and let me know.
