Outtakes Part 10:
Pre 1x02 Part 1: to call or not to call

--------------------

It was Thursday noon. Prue was sitting in her room. The phone was standing on her nightstand and she starred at the business card in her hands. It was of Andy. She didn't see him after that Saturday morning, when he gave her the card. She said she'd call him and that was probably the thing, why he didn't show up ever after. He wanted to give her time.
'Shall I seriously do it?'
she asked herself. Prue looked again down at the card. She chewed her bottom lip and then reached for the phone. She dialled in the number, but instead of leading it to her ear, she hang a few seconds later up again
"I can't do that..."
she said lowly and got up. She started for the door and opened it, finding both her sisters in front of it
"hey, Prue!"
they said snapping for air
"what are you guys doing here?"
"Umm. We... umm..."
Piper said, trying to make up an excuse
"we wanted to overhear you on the phone..."
"Phoebe!"
"What? She caught us!"
Prue just shook her head and went back inside, slamming her door
"uh oh"
Phoebe said. Prue sat back on her bed and picked the card again. She heard her sisters putting on a fight outside. And then there was a knock on the door.
"Go away"
Prue said, but instead of going away, they opened the door
"did you call him?"
"Who?"
she asked, pretending not to know what they were talking about
"we're talking about the guy who gave you that card you are holding there"
Prue sighted and looked away
"oh c'mon Prue... you still love him, now do you?"
"No..."
Prue said lowly
"then why is this bugging you permanently?"
"I can't love someone, I don't even know..."
"But you know him... he's Andy!"
"I know, phoebe... I know... 19 year old Andy... but..."
"He can't have changed that much, Prue..."
Piper told her
"you should seriously call him"
"why are you two so eager about me calling Andy?"
"Cause we want our big brother back... so finally get going!"
"As much as I don't like to say it... but Phoebe's right... he asked you out for tomorrow's dinner... so this is the last chance you have... c'mon..."
"Alright... alright... get out already!"
her sisters started grinning and got out of the room, placing themselves again on the door
"no listening on the door!"
Piper and Phoebe looked at each other and then nodded, deciding to stay. Prue glanced at the door. She knew they were still there. She concentrated hard and opened her door again, with her telekinesis
"you heard what I said"
she told them
"grr... where does she always know that from?"
Phoebe whispered
"I don't know..."
"from living for more than 20 years with two sisters under one roof!"
Prue yelled after them. She concentrated again and closed the door. Prue sighted
'... and always follow your heart'
she thought. And then grabbed the phone again. She held it and then looked back down at the card. She hang up again
'oh c'mon Prue... just go through with it... they're right? What can you loose?'
Prue asked herself. Prue took a big breath and again dialled in the number. She moved it to her ear, but again couldn't go through with it. After the second ring she hung up.
"This is ridiculous"
Prue told herself. She placed the card in her nightstand and put the phone away. She went over to her window, sat down on the bench in front of it wanting to look some out of the window and down to the street, but just as she had settled, the phone started ringing. Prue jumped and then turned around. She looked at the phone. Was it really that phone ringing? She starred at it for a while and it rang again. She went back over In order to take it
"Halliwell?"
Prue asked
"are you the one trying to call me?"
Prue closed her eyes and covered her face, as a small smile appeared on her lips.
"III think that's a yes"
Andy's voice came through the phone again
"ya..."
"Sooo... why are you calling?"
"I'm not..."
"You did... I saw your number on my machine..."
"Where from do you know my number anyway?"
"Prue..."
"Right... umm... still... you called..."
Andy smiled as well
"we're acting like teenagers..."
Andy told her
'I wished we were'
Prue thought
"yeah... you're right..."
"Sooo... do you want me to send you a letter... asking if you like me with a yes and a no and a maybe?"
Prue laughed
"no... No..."
"Prue... help me out here... okay... I can't guess why you called me..."
"I'm... sorry... this is just... you know... my life is all a little shaky... I mean... I fired... I split from Rodger... I... my life's completely messed at the moment... and... I seriously would love to come to dinner with you on Friday... but..."
"Ahahah... don't say it... no buts... I like how you started... let's just keep it this way, okay? I'll pick you tomorrow at 8..."
Prue smiled but had her eyes closed. It were two voices in her head which fought, she didn't know which to follow
"Prue?"
"Yeah... alright... I'll see you then"
Prue said smiling
"thank you..."
"For?"
"Giving me a chance... giving us a chance..."
Prue smiled even more
'I love you...'
she thought
"always... I guess..."
"I'll see you tomorrow"
"yeah..."
"Bye"
"bye"
