Chapter 10: the choice.
I never got to finish my project I just gathered my stuff and left, without a word. I told Andy I needed to think, and that was all.
When I got home the house was empty thankfully, I ran to my room throwing my bags on the bed and then going to the bathroom.
I looked through all the cupboards moving everything out of the way until I finally found them at the very back under the sink.
"I knew she had some" I said taking a few out and downing them with some water.
"Hey Piper" I heard someone say and I jumped and screamed.
"Oh my god Prue you scared me" I said quickly throwing the bottle back and pretending to pick it back up but exchanging it for vitamins.
"Sorry…your home early I thought you needed to finish that project?" she asked taking the bottle out of my hands.
"I wasn't feeling too good so I decided to come home…I'm almost finished so I figured I can do it on my own now" I said hoping she didn't catch onto my unusual tone in my voice.
"Oh…um Piper…these are Grams' pills" she said showing me the label.
"Um I was just checking what ones need refills…I already took some vitamins, I hope I don't get sick" I lied grabbing the bottle and putting it back. Truth was I took some of her morning after pills finally remembering we didn't use protection.
"Um…did you want to see what I got? Andy and I went shopping yesterday" I said taking my mind off of what I hope doesn't happen.
"You went shopping? Wait Andy went shopping with you? Wow something I never expected" she joked as she fallowed me to my room.
"He helped me pick everything out" I said then I let her go through the bags.
"Oh wow I have to borrow this" she said holding up my red skinny jeans.
"Hey where did you get this?" she asked holding up the bikini.
"Well I figured since we do live in San Francisco that I should have one" I shrugged.
"Did Andy help you pick this out?" Prue asked raising an eye brow.
"I asked him how it looked, I picked it out" I said grabbing it away from her and stuffing it back in the bag.
"He saw you in this?" she asked starting the interrogation.
"Prue he did see me in it but you know I'm not much to see" I said hoping she would drop it.
"Piper you have to stop downing yourself you are more beautiful then you think…and besides…I know you like Andy" she said with a smirk.
I gulped. "What about you?" I asked slowly.
"I broke up with him Piper. I told him this was the last time; I'm not getting back together with him. I…I see how you two are together…I've seen, I've known all this time he was never for me. He's not what I want Piper…but he's perfect for you" she said sitting beside me on my bed.
"Prue…it's always been you and Andy" I said not understanding what she was saying but glad she thinks he's perfect for me.
"no…I remember when you were 7 and we were 9…you looked at him like the stars that shined…Andy's dad use to joke about you two growing up and falling in love…Grams and Andy's mom would just roll their eyes. It was never supposed to be me and him Piper. It was supposed to be you but. I stole him…I took him away from you all those times" she said.
"No Prue…your older, Andy was never mine. He's always been your friend, your boyfriend" I said not knowing why I wouldn't shut up, why I couldn't just accept that she was fine with it.
"Piper just shut up and thank me for being so understanding" she said in the way only she could.
"Thank you" I said automatically like it was a reflex to do what I was told.
"Now tell me…what you did with Andy?" she asked seeing right through me.
"Prue…please don't…get angry at me…it just happened" I said and wanted to continue but she put her finger on my lips.
"Just tell me…what you did?" she said letting her motherly part of her come out and pushing her big sister part of her back.
"…we…had sex" I blurted.
She looked shocked then she took a deep breath and gulped.
"When" she said and all it looked like she was able to say.
"….this morning" I said slowly afraid of what she might do.
She ran her hand through her hair and breathed out. "What happened after that?" she asked.
"Well…we were going to finish my project, but I was hungry having missed breakfast while we were…anyways I ran down stairs with Andy saying he could catch me easy. I hid under the sink…that's when I started thinking…about you, I was worried of what you would think, what you would think of me…and if I should tell you or not, if I should tell anyone" I said looking down ashamed.
"Your 16 Piper…" she said probably shaking her head.
"I know Prue…but I can't say I regret what I did, I love Andy, I always have…I'm sorry" I said stopping myself before I continue and get into that fight I was hoping to avoid.
"You have nothing to be sorry about…I've never…with him, he was more of a friend" she said.
"You mean your still…?" I asked.
"No I said not with him. I've been seeing this guy his names Bane…he's really really hot" she giggled.
"So we're good?" I asked.
"Not by a long shot missy. I am okay that you're with Andy but you just had sex with him and your only 16!" she said catching me off guard.
"What are you going to do?" I asked my voice sounding little compared to hers.
"I'll have to think about that…your only 16 Piper, I might have to tell Grams" she said and by the tone in her voice I knew she didn't really want to but had no other choice.
"Prue…she'll kill me…she'll kill Andy" my eyes blurring from the tears that were building up.
"Piper your only 16 I waited until I was at least 18…this isn't something to take lightly" she said standing up.
"But…" I choked out not knowing what to say after that.
"I'm sorry Piper…I'll try and make sure she doesn't make you stop seeing him…but I think that's what has to be done" she said then she walked away and I sat there the tears now flowing down my cheeks as I watched her back walk out my door.
