Prue had just taken one of the most important decisions of her life. Her grandmother had just died and she had just agreed to taking care of her sisters 'till they hadn't been of age,and ready to look after themselves,tough she was aware she would've always stood by them. She knew that this was a great responsability and she wasn't willing to screw it. So she sat on the couch and looked at what was left of were all young and hurt in their very own way. Piper was a shy and unpopular teenager,Phoebe was an irresponsible dark and twisty girl and Paige…Paige,though being barely 4, was a pale kid and very often sick. She still remembered when she had voiced her concerns about her baby sister's health to her grams,who had been very worried too and had decided to schedule appointments with several doctors in the next weeks. She knew now that her grams would never be able to attend those appointments,but she hoped she would still look out for them from up there. But she knew she couldn't keep just thinking,so she put her thoughts aside and hoisted herself up.
"Piper have you already done your homework?" "Yeah,if you want I could help you with dinner"
"Thanks"shouldn't have even asked,thought Prue with a smile. Phoebe stood up too and said:"Well I'm gonna be out of here in a couple of minutes,so don't worry about me,alright?"
"Phoebe I had strictly…"
"Blah blah blah blah,I know what you said Prudence,but I've somewhere to be,bye."
The younger middle child flew upstairs and left Prue to get mad at thin air,Piper went in the kitchen and Prue sat down again,this time on the floor and with her youngest sister,who was still playing with her toys as if sha hadn't heard the argument between Phoebe and Prue at all.
"Paige"
"Hey"
"Are you sad?"
"Why do you keep fighting?And why isn't grams ever coming back?" The eldest sister hugged the youngest and said: "Paige,grams is in a beautiful place,together with all the other people who loved us,we'll never be able to have her back,but someday we re all gonna be togheter again,alright?And if I fight with Phee it's because I m scared she might get hurt and I could never stand that,I could never bear the loss of any of you".Her little missy seemed to understand what she had said and hugged her back.
"Prue"
"Yeah?"
"Can you promise me something?"
"Everything you want"
"Promise me you'll never leave us,promise me you re always gonna be there for us"
"I promise,I' ll always be there" .
That night Phoebe managed to have her way and go out,Piper cooked as if their grams were still there,Paige killed them with their cuteness once again and Prue didn t worry about anything,if not about her teenage issues. They were on their own now,so she just had to learn how to deal with her new role,and she knew she would see. She would know the way,just like she thought she always had.
