Hey guys I'm super duper sorry that I haven't updated in forever. I have been super busy. But I'm trying to catch up with my stories and I hope you all continue to read the story.

So here is Chapter 10.

Chapter 10: Pushed to the edge

Paige woke up sweating and gasping for air. She had had another nightmare. That was three now and they were driving her crazy. She didn't understand why Seth had to haunt her while she slept. Wasn't it bad enough that she was dying from holding everything in. She didn't want to cry anymore. The tears solved nothing. They didn't take away the pain. They didn't avenge what happened to her. They didn't make her stronger or help her get through this dark time. Although at this point she really didn't think that anything was. She believed that she was going to suffer forever. It wasn't fair though. She never did anything that bad to deserve this. Or did she? Deep down there was the feeling of insecurity. There was a part of her that felt like she did deserve everything that happened and that was the part that was killing her. She didn't know what to feel or say or anything. He still had control over her and it pissed her off. She wanted to be strong enough to find the courage and tell her sisters everything. They needed to know. She had to protect them.

Piper was figuring it out and that both scared and relieved Paige. If Piper went on her instinct she could get seriously hurt and that bothered Paige. But it would take the pressure off of Paige if Piper figured it all out herself. She wasn't looking forward to explaining it all to her sisters.

At the moment though she just wanted Prue to tell her that it was all going to be okay. She needed some comfort and Prue was more than just her big sister. Despite anything that she ever said Prue was like a mom to her and she loved her dearly. She couldn't imagine ever losing her or any one of her sisters for that matter. It would literally tear her apart and kill her. She had suffered enough hurt for a lifetime.

Paige got out of bed and went to Prue's room. Prue was fast asleep on her bed. Paige went over and sat on the bed.

"Prue.."said Paige.

Prue began to stir and she woke up. She turned over and saw Paige.

"Hey. You okay?" asked Prue.

"I had a nightmare." confessed Paige.

Prue sat up and pot her arm around Paige. Paige leaned on her and took in the safety of Prue's embrace.

"Prue do you remember when I followed you to that party when I was 11?" asked Paige.

"Yeah." said Prue sadly.

"I never meant to be trouble. I just wanted to be like you. I didn't know that you were as confused as I was at that time. I knew that you didn't like drinking. You just wanted to find your place. I was scared though. I know that I shouldn't have done what I done and I know that you feel guilty but you shouldn't because I don't blame you. I never did and I never will. When I woke up and I saw you I knew everything was going to be okay even though I felt like I was going to die because of the whole drinking problem. You always make it better. said Paige, "I wish you didn't blame yourself so much. I know that you feel that you always have to protect us but you can only do so much. We appreciate everything that you do for us but you need to think about yourself too. Your going to regret it if you don't. We want you to be happy."

"You know your a smart kid Paige. I know that sometimes I over worry but I can't help it. I just want the best for you guys. You all are my life and if anything ever happened I would never forgive myself." said Prue, "I'm sorry that I couldn't be there. I wish with all my heart I could take all the pain away. I know that no matter how hard I try you are not going to talk to me and that worries me. I love you Paige and I'm scared. I'm losing you. Please let me help you."

"I'm scared too Prue but there are consequences. They know where I am and they know all of you. No matter what they are going to try and hurt you. I just need some time. I promise that we can talk about it tonight. I just want to rest right now." said Paige," Please."

"Okay." said Prue.

Prue moved over and Paige lied beside her. Paige laid her head on Prue's shoulder.

"Prue.. Can you tell me a story about Mom?" asked Paige yawning.

"Okay." said Prue, "When you were born Mom brought you home and Phoebe was the first to see you. At first she didn't want to hold you because she was mad that you were trying to take her spot as the baby but Mom told her that you two could share the spot. She said that you were going to be best friends and that Phoebe would finally have someone to tell all her secrets and teach stuff. Phoebe just looked at you and you smiled. Phoebe looked at mom and told her that you were going to be smart." said Prue, "Then when you turned two you went to the beach for the first time. You were afraid to go in the water. Mom bought you little floater's and sat with you by the shore. You held onto her as the water hit your feet. Mom told you that the water was nothing to be afraid of. It was pure and it was your friend. She said it was like a big bath without the bubbles but you couldn't put ducky in there or he would float away. You said the only way you would get in the water was if she went too. So Mom held your hand the whole time until you were ready to let go. You were so brave."

Prue felt Paige's even breathing and realized that she had fallen asleep. Prue kissed Paige's forehead and held her tight. She prayed that no nightmares would come to Paige. She needed at least one night of peace. Prue just laid there though. Remembering her mom and Paige when she was little hurt her. It was back when everyone was happy. When they were all the closest. She wished that they could all have times like those again.

(The next morning..)

Paige yawned and sat up in bed. She saw Prue asleep beside her. She got up slowly and quietly so she wouldn't her up and went to the kitchen. Phoebe was sitting at the table. She was drinking a cup of coffee. Paige grabbed a glass of orange juice and sat at the table across from Phoebe.

"How do you feel today?" asked Phoebe.

"I'm okay I guess. Just a little worn out but I'll be okay. Where's Piper?" asked Paige.

"She went to the store to get milk. She'll be back in a few minutes." said Phoebe.

Paige suddenly decided that she needed to save Phoebe from Seth. She had to tell her what he did to her. Phoebe really needed to know. Paige knew that he could hurt Phoebe just like he hurt her and if he ever did that to Phoebe she swore to herself that she would kill him without thinking twice.

"Phoebs can I ask you a question?" asked Paige

"Yeah sure." said Phoebe.

"Do you love Seth?" asked Paige.

"Yes." said Phoebe, "Why?"

"Because Phoebe I don't like him. I don't trust him and I don't think you should be around him. He is a bad person." said Paige.

Phoebe didn't know why Paige was saying this about Seth when she didn't even know him. She had seen him once and she hadn't even really talked to him at all. She didn't know what being in love was like. Seth was a great guy to her. He was compassionate and loving. She didn't understand anything like that. SHe was just a little kid still. She had never known what it was like to give your heart to someone that you trusted and cared for truly.

"But you don't know him like I do Paige." argued Phoebe, "How can you judge him?"

"Because Phoebe. You don't know him as well as you think. He's Dwayne's brother. The one that killed Carol." said Paige.

"I know that Paige but that has nothing to do with Seth." said Phoebe.

Paige was getting angry. Finally she reached her breaking point.

"Phoebe I know what you told him about me. How you hate me. And you wish I was dead. I know it all." yelled Paige.

Phoebe was silent. Her heart felt like it had just been ripped out of her chest. She was shocked that Paige had found out about that. She hadn't meant for Paige to ever find out. It was supposed to be a secret. She didn't feel that way anymore. She was just angry. She didn't want Paige to think that she hated her.

"How do you know that?" asked Phoebe.

"He told me. He told me when he...."

RING...RING..RING

Piper searched through the isles of the supermarket for Cinnamon. It was the last thing on her long shopping list. She needed something to get her out of the house for a while and the need for food in the house seemed like a good excuse. Piper stopped when she saw that final Cinnamon left on the shelf.

"Finally." sighed Piper.

She grabbed it and put it in her cart. She got on line and wait. After she was done she walked over to her car. She dropped her purse while looking for her keys. She bent down to pick up the stuff when someone picked it up for her. She looked up and saw Seth. He handed her her purse.

"Thanks." said Piper, "What are you doing here?"

"Just decided to do a little shopping for me and my cousin. Growing boys have to eat." said Seth with a smile.

Piper looked at Seth skeptically. She still had the feeling that Seth was responsible for what had happened to Paige. Even though Paige had denied it. She had been awfully scared when Piper had mentioned the fact that she thought he was the one that hurt her. Piper knew that she was hiding it. It had to be Seth.

"So how's Paige doing today?" asked Seth.

"Fine. She's just a little tired." said Piper.

"Oh. Well I really hope that the police catch the guy that hurt her." said Seth.

"How do you know about that? Phoebe never told you. She wouldn't." said Piper.

Piper knew that Phoebe wouldn't have told Seth because it was have broken the trust that she was trying to build with Paige. And she wouldn't want to break that after she had worked so hard to let Paige know how much she loved her. There was only one way that Seth could have found out that Paige was raped. It had to have been him. He was the one who hurt Paige.

"It was you. You're the asshole that hurt my little sister." said Piper.

Seth smiled evilly.

"Well. So there is a smart Halliwell in your family. Too bad I'm going to kill you. You know I wasn't the one that raped her but I did watch as she yelled for you and Prue and begged my cousin to stop and for me to hurt her. But her big sisters weren't there to protect her were they? You all didn't care about her and yet she loved you guys. It's kind of sad. And Phoebe will never believe Paige." said Seth.

Piper slapped Seth in the face. She kicked him in the stomach and pushed him against another car. She wanted to kill him but she needed to get home to Prue and her sisters first. She needed to tell them what she knew. She quickly got in her car and drove away quickly putting her seat belt on. She drove as fast as she could and for a split second looked in her rear view mirror to See if Seth was following her. She was suddenly scared by a horn beeping beeped in front of her. She looked forward and saw the red light. She slammed her foot on the gas over and over but it wasn't working. Seth had cut her brakes.

Piper slammed into the other car head on and her car flipped over twice landing upside down and knocking her uncontious. A lady pulled over her car and ran over to herlp. She opened Piper's door and unbuckled her seatbelt. Once she got Piper on the street she noticed that Piper wasn't breathing. The lady yelled for someone to call an ambulance and began CPR. Soon Piper spit up blood. The lady knew that this wasn't a good sign.

Once the ambulance arrived they rushed Piper to the hospital. The doctor found Piper's ID in her purse and told the nurse to find her information. The nurse found Piper's folder and called the manor.

RING...RING..RING

"Damn!!" said Paige.

It was becoming impossible for her to say anything and it was driving her crazy. She couldn't take this much longer. She was almost to her edge and was getting worse.

Phoebe went and answered the phone.

"Halliwell residence." said Phoebe.

"Yes, this is San Fransisco General. I'm sorry to tell you that your sister Piper was in an accident. She is here and is hurt badly. I cannot tell you any details but you need to get down here right away." said the nurse.

Phoebe hung up the phone and turned towards Paige. She had tears in her eyes. Paige stood up knowing immediately that something was terribly wrong.

"Piper is in the hospital. She was in a car crash." said Phoebe through her tears.

"PRUE!!" yelled Paige.

Prue awoke suddenly when she heard Paige yell her name. She ran downstairs to find Phoebe crying and Paige terrified.

"Piper was in an accident. She's hurt and is in the hospital. We have to go there." said Paige.

"Paige, Phoebe, and Prue left for the hospital. When they got there Prue went to the nurse at the front desk but all she said was that Piper was in surgery and that they had to wait in the waiting room until the Sargent finished. So they sat and waited because it was all they could do. Paige had a horrible feeling at the pit of her stomach. She didn't think that this was an accident at all even though she prayed it was.

Phoebe was crying uncontrollably and Prue hugged her. She tried to console her but it wasn't really working.

An hour later...

The doctor came out of the operating room and walked over to Paige, Phoebe, and Prue. They all stood up.

"Is my sister okay?" asked Paige

"Well she had a lot of internal bleeding and it was very hard to control. She went into cardiac arrest twice. She suffered a concussion and a ruptured lung. We were able to repair most of the damage but like I said the internal bleeding was hard to contain. I am truly sorry but your sister is in a coma.. And there is another thing. The authorities informed us that your sisters breaks were cut. Someone planned this." said the doctor, "The cops will be here shortly to ask you a few questions. We will get your sister situated and you will be able to see her for a few minutes."

The doctor walked away. Phoebe became super angry.

"I am going to kill them. It's not fair." said Phoebe.

She stood up and punched the picture on the wall behind her. She cut her hand and fell to the floor in tears.

"Phoebe!!" said Prue.

She was at Phoebe's side in a second. She hugged her until she was a little calmer then looked at her hand.

"Paige I need to take Phoebe to get her hand checked. I will be back in a moment so don't move okay." said Prue.

Paige shook her head. She sat their and watched Prue walk away with Phoebe. She felt so guilty. Piper was in a coma because of her. She was scared and just wanted to die. She believed that her dying would make everyone's lives so much easier. It wasn't fair that Seth and George had to ruin her life. Now they had to hurt her sisters the ones that meant the most to her. She just wanted to find a way to keep them all safe.

Paige got up and ran. She ran out of the hospital and didn't look back once.

George threw a glass bottle against the wall.

"Dammit Seth you can't do one thing right can you. You had simple instructions and you messed it up. They are going to figure it all out." yelled George angrily.

"No they won't because Piper is in a coma and Paige has got the message." said Seth, "She is going to hurt herself soon. This is all becoming too much for her. She's weak."

Seth knew that Paige wouldn't risk hurting her sisters anymore. And if Piper did talk then he and George would have no choice but to kill her. He wouldn't even think twice. Phoebe meant nothing to him and he really didn't like Prue. She was such a know it all and thought she could take anyone on. Seth wished they had gotten to her instead of Paige but Prue was strong willed. Paige was the lost child. She was the outcast and a disgrace. She was the half sister and the spawn of her mother's affair. That would always stick with her.

"So what do we do now?" asked George.

"We keep an eye on them and make sure the plan goes through. We are going to get Dwayne out of jail and after he has his fun with Paige we can take out the other sisters." said Seth.

"And then Paradise here we come. Somewhere sunny and far." said George.

"Yes. but we need to make sure that were careful. We can't leave a trail. No one can ever find this out." said Seth.

Seth looked out the window. It had just begun to rain and people were running to shelter. Seth smiled devilishly. He wanted to do something "fun". He wanted to hurt someone. He was like a shark. He'd had his taste of blood and was now hooked. He was a Psychopath. All he could think about was what he wanted to do to Paige and other innocent people. He was insane.

"Hey George do you want to go have some fun. We could go to a bar or something?" asked Seth.

"No Seth. We need to keep a low profile remember. We can't just beat the crap out of every person we see. Paige was necessary. She had deserved what she got but we have to wait for our next attack. It will make all that much ore satisfying." said George.

"Yeah." said Seth.

Prue and Phoebe walked back into the waiting room and saw that Paige was gone. They went over to the nurse's station.

"Hey have you seen my little sister?" asked Prue.

"She ran out like a half hour ago." answered the nurse.

"What?!" said Phoebe.

Prue and Phoebe went to her car.

"Where would she go?" asked Prue.

"She was really scared and there's no doubt that the same people that hurt her were that ones that hurt Piper. She probably feels really guilty even though its not her fault." said Phoebe.

Prue began to think. Paige had never really felt that she belonged with Piper, Phoebe, and Prue. She always felt like an outcast and thought she and everyone else would be better if she had never ever been born or if there mom had given her up when she was born. She was always scared that they would get fed up with her and kick her to the curb even though that would never ever happen while Prue was around. She loved her baby sister so much. She reminded her a lot of herself. Prue tried to find any place that Paige could go. She knew that she wouldn't go home. Then she remembered something and her heart dropped.

"She said that she just wanted to die." said Prue.

"What?! No she wouldn't do that. Paige can't kill herself. We need her. Prue she can't." said Phoebe scared.

"Phoebe think of any place that she would try that." ordered Prue.

Phoebe thought. There were a lot of places in San Francisco. She tried to think of any close bridges. It had to be somewhere where Paige knew. Somewhere that she had been before or seen often.

"The bridge over route 46." said Phoebe suddenly.

Prue stepped on the gas and drove as fast as she could. There was no way that she was going to lose Paige. She just couldn't. They had all suffered so much loss already: their mom, grandma, Paige's dad, their dad, and Carol. It wasn't fair. When Prue finally reached the bridge she looked up and saw Paige standing on the edge of the bridge.

Paige was scared. She didn't want to do this but it was the only way to keep them safe. She couldn't let anyone else get hurt because of her. She already felt horrible about what had happened with Piper. She just couldn't take it anymore. She wasn't strong enough. They had won. Seth and George had finally got what they wanted. Paige felt sick to her stomach. She remember for a split second George on top of her. She leaned over and vomited at the memory. She didn't want to think about it anymore. She was finally going to be free of the pain. It wasn't the smartest solution and she knew that. She knew that it was stupid and selfish but she just couldn't take it anymore she had finally reached her limit.

Paige looked down at the highway below. She saw the cars zooming by. She was seconds away from ending it all. She just had to find the strength to jump. That's all she needed.

"PAIGE!! STOP!!" yelled Prue.

Paige looked back and saw Prue and Phoebe running over.

"Don't come closer or I will jump." threatened Paige.

Phoebe and Prue stopped in their tracks knowing that Paige was not kidding around in the least.

"Paige please. Don't do this. We love you and we can't lose you. Piper needs us. This isn't your fault honey. It was them not you. They are the ones that hurt Piper. You can't stop fighting." said Prue.

"Prue I can't. They are going to hurt you. I can't do this anymore." said Paige.

"Paige please. Just tell us. It can't hurt us anymore than it already has. You have to let us help you Paige. We need to stick together." said Phoebe.

"We already lost a lot of people that we love. Losing you will tear us apart. You just have to step down from there okay." said Prue.

"This isn't the right way to solve anything. It's wrong. You know that." said Phoebe.

Paige knew that her sisters were right. She looked down then looked at her sisters. She didn't know what was the right decision. Her heart said her sisters but her mind was telling her to jump. She didn't know which to follow. Then she began to think. Her sister's had always been there for her and this was no time different. They just wanted to help her and she was pushing them all away. Paige slowly turned but lost her footing. She began to fall when suddenly Prue grabbed her hand.

"Don't let me go." said Paige.

"I won't" said Prue.

"We won't." said Phoebe grabbing Paige's other hand.

They slowly puled her beck up. They collapsed onto the road. Phoebe and Prue hugged Paige. She burst out in tears.

"I'm sorry." cried Paige.

"Shh it's okay." said Prue.

"Never scare us like that again. I was so scared that we were going to lose you." said Phoebe.

"Phoebe it was Seth. Him and his cousin were the ones who hurt me and Piper. I'm so so sorry." cried Paige.

Tell me what you all think.

I will try to update whenever I can.
