Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Charmed characters. Just the story plot!

Okay I wrote this story after reading Kohala's 'The Accident' and decided to write a story about drink driving too, especially since it's holiday season.

Set during season 2.

Chapter 1

Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell all sat in their alcove in P3, Pipers club. They each had their men with them. Andy, Prue's husband, Leo, Piper's fiancé and Cole, Phoebe's boyfriend.

Prue and Cole were the only ones that didn't have drinks in their hands, they had both volunteered to be the designated drivers for the night, both regretting it as they watched the others have fun.

"Come on Prue come dance!" Prue reluctantly let Piper and Phoebe pull her to her feet and onto the dance floor.

it didn't take long though before they were all dancing without a care in the world. They took no notice of the people staring at them, they just danced as sisters having a good time on Christmas Eve.

They stayed for three songs before their feet began to feel the toll of the 6 inch heels they all had on. They staggered their way over to the alcove collapsing, Piper and Phoebe laughing hysterically on a count of the alcohol they had drunk.

"Right I'm going up to the bar, anybody want anything?" Andy said as he got to his feet.

"A martini for me." Phoebe said.

"Oh and me." Piper said holding her hand in the air.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Leo asked looking at Piper, knowing she was already past her limit.

"Oh lighten up Leo, it's Christmas Eve. Plus I don't get hangovers." She gave him a grin then nodded at Andy reassuring him she wanted one.

Leo just looked at her, knowing the lie she just told, before shaking his head and asking for another beer. He caught the look Piper was giving him, and just sent the same smile back at her.

Half an hour later they all climbed up the steps and out into the car park.

"Right, who's going with who?" Prue asked jingling her keys.

"Me and Phoebs will go in Prue's car!" Piper said running over to Prue's car. She staggered and turned to her sister's.

"Maybe that last drink wasn't such a bright idea." She pulled open the passenger door and climbed in.

Prue just shook her head as Phoebe laughed jumping into the back seat. "Meet you guys at home." She called before getting in and putting the ignition on.

She pulled out of the car park and into the night, Cole right behind her.

Prue slowed down at the red light. She looked into the back seat at Phoebe who was half awake and half asleep. Then at Piper who was bopping her head to the Christmas music playing on the radio, though looked like she was about to puke at any minute.

She put her foot on the pedal as soon as the light turned green driving on, hearing a loud beep behind her and screeching tires she looked out of the window beside her head. And soon the car was filled with the screams of all three girls.

Cole pulled out of P3's car park, shaking his head at the loud and not very tuneful singing coming from Andy and Leo. he turned the music down a little hoping they'd get the hint, however their singing just got louder.

He sighed and halted to a stop behind Prue's car, he saw the light change colour as Prue started to drive on not noticing the black SUV running the red light and heading straight at her. He slammed his hand on the car horn, screeching to a halt as the SUV collided with the driver's side of Prue's car. The three men sat horrified as the car spun out of control and flipped onto it's back then back again falling into the ditch at the side of the road.

Cole slammed his door open before the car had even stopped properly. He could hear Leo on the phone to the emergency services and hoped they would arrive quickly.

Andy ran behind Cole praying to god that the three women were okay.

Cole pulled the back door open and leant inside to get Phoebe out. He was relieved that she only had what looked to be a broken arm and maybe a broken nose.

Andy leaned forward grabbing Phoebe's legs and helped Cole carry her to safety. He could hear Leo yelling on the phone, desperately looking for a street name then his thoughts went to Prue. His wife was still in the car. He ignored Cole's calls for him to stay with Phoebe while he got them and ran over to the car anyway.

The sight of Prue caused his stomach to drop. Instinctively he felt for a pulse, breathing a big sigh of relief when a felt a faint throbbing. He lifted her into his arms, ignoring the sticky blood that was dripping from her temple, or the awkward position her leg was in. he laid her down on the pavement.

Then turned his head back to the car, knowing Cole could handle it he looked Prue over for anymore injuries. He lifted her top and saw bruising appearing by her ribs, knowing that the weight of the steering wheel would've crushed her chest he was just relieve she was alive.

"Andy, a little help over here!" He looked at the car where Cole was unsuccessfully trying to pull Piper out. He sprinted over dreading the reason he couldn't get her out.

"the seat belt is stuck, do you have a pocket knife?" Andy fumbled in his pockets before finally grabbing his pocket knife and started sawing at the seat belt. He stepped back when his 'job' was done and let Cole lift her out. She had a deep gash in her right leg from the dashboard and her left ankle was bent awkwardly. Blood pooled into Cole's hands form a cut in her abdomen where the window had smashed and a shard of glass pierced it.

He carried her over to Phoebe and Prue, just as he was about to put her down an ambulance came speeding around the corner. It screeched to a stop, the back door's slamming open as three paramedics leapt out.

They each went to the three injured and started asking questions to each of the men with them. it wasn't long before another ambulance turned up and two police cars arrived.

The three sisters were loaded into the ambulances which sped down the now deserted road.

The three men stayed, giving their statements into the police, and watched as the driver of the other car was pulled out. All men recognised him, he was a regular at P3 and that night had got drunk as usual. The worse fact was that he had gotten away without any injuries, maybe a few bumps and bruises but otherwise fine. He was put in one of the police cars and taken without so much as a thought about how he was.

Cole, Andy and Leo all climbed into their car, and headed down the road after the ambulance all scared as to what would greet them at the hospital.
