Ch. 14

I assumed that this would come as a great shock to her. However, she just looked up with an expectation of some sort. I looked over towards the glamoured Paige. She didn't catch my glance instead she concentrated on what she was about to say. I just let her have anyway wasn't that why she was here in the first place? She spoke, "Just because their mother died and had them before you, doesn't mean that she isn't your mother. Plus you're not betraying your parents. They wouldn't want you to be alone. I have a source that says that you are in need right now. Your little shack isn't enough and you need a family. They can be that family you always longed for." The younger Paige scoffed at this.

I always knew that Paige was a pistol and had our trait of stubbornness, but this was overboard. She needed help more than I had thought if what Paige just said was true. My past self spoke up, "If you really do want help we'd be glad to help you. We need to tell you a family secret that could affect you." She said with the authority that I haven't used since I died. I wasn't the leader, but everytime she used that tone it just irked me. It reminded me of what I lost. Well, I guess that's what worried me.

Paige immediately spoke up since she knew that her younger self wouldn't agree unless they really wanted her to come with us, so there had to be an urgency in the secret not a maybe, "It will affect you. It's nothing really bad perseu, really it's more of an adventure. Plus they have really been worried about meeting you, and the reason they haven't sought you out before now would be because their mother and grandmother never told them, and also they only found out today. After you get off from work we'd really like it if you come to the manor where we can discuss your heritage further." Piper, Phoebe, my past self , and also I caught myself looking back, because I hadn't ever really heard Paige talk like that. She sounded in control, but then as soon as I looked back I saw how scared she was. She must have been thinking about how everything this Paige hadn't experienced. I already knew she missed everyone, but she was just cracking I guess.

She walked quickly out of the office. I was truly torn for a moment, because I didn't really want to leave the tension that would develop between the people of the present time, but I also needed to be with Paige. She needed me more. She was the one who was hurt, she was the one that I could help right now. I looked at them one more time, before I rushed behind Paige.

I found her huddled outside the door. She wasn't crying, but her face showed her anguish. It seemed she had run out of tears, or maybe she was afraid of letting anyone see her weak. I bent down beside her and gently brushed her fallen hair out of her eyes. She looked up slowly as though she wasn't sure who I was for a moment. I tried to smile, but it didn't really come out right.

I pulled her body into my arms after I sat down. She tensed up a bit. From what she had said I guessed she had no family, no one to comfort her for a year at least. I assumed that she wasn't used to physical contact anymore. I looked at her again and I simply said, "We're going to fix it. I promise, you just need to remember that we're here to fix the mess that the future has become." She only nodded, because there was no way that she could deny what I just told her. I looked at my watch. It read 3:00. That meant that we had another hour before the past Paige could get off work. I sighed and looked at Paige. She was concentrating on the ground and, so I stuck my wrist in her vantage point. She looked up at me with an exasperated expression. We both got up and dusted our pants off.

I looked towards Paige I guess telling her that I would be right back. Then I walked back into the building. They were still standing around not talking. Awkward would describe it perfectly. I walked up just in time apparently, because I've never seen Piper or Phoebe so desperate for me to break a silence.

I went to their side as my past self simply eyed the picture of Paige and her parents. She must have felt the same thing I did when she told us who they were. I looked over to Paige who was uncomfortably working on a file. She kept looking over towards the charmed ones. She knew her boss was also watching, so she kept working. I understood that right now she hadn't experienced the times when she told her boss it's a family emergency.

I finally spoke up to the great relief of Piper and Phoebe, "We'll be waiting outside until you get off if you are willing to come back to the manor so we can discuss this." She only nodded. This must have freaked her out a bit. I was acting too serious for her to say no. I gave her a warm smile just as I would have my Paige. This threw her off even worse, so she responded with a tight smile back.

I motioned for the past charmed ones to follow me. Outside Paige was in the car. She was just looking out the window not really concentrating on anything. It scared me every time she spaced out, because it only reminded me that this wasn't the little sister I remembered. We got in the car and crank it up just to cool off the sun was beating down extremely hard or at least I was sweating after the awkward and tension in that office. I sat beside Paige in the middle of the backseat. Phoebe sat beside me. I could feel her eyes glancing at me every so often.

Pwease REVIEW! It's very simple. Even if you didn't like it I'd like to know. I always want constructive criticism as well.
