Chapter 25: Letting go
I couldn't find the answer to my question…any of them. As soon as I got home I started packing, either I was crazy or it was some sort of sign. I had to leave. Either way
I started throwing my clothes into a suitcase I stopped when I realized I was crying.
"Stupid hormones" I mumbled sitting down on my bed.
I sighed wiping my eyes I got up and went down stairs feeling the uncontrollable need to have something to eat.
I found Prue and Phoebe in the kitchen talking though they stopped as soon as I walked in.
"Hey sis how you feeling" Phoebe asked.
"Hungry…but what else is new?" I joked looking in the cupboards to see what I'm craving right now.
"Andy's over at his house…" Prue said.
I already knew he was over there I had told him to go pack.
"So what's the plan here Pipe…" Prue asked sitting her cup of coffee down.
"…I'm leaving" I said my back to them as I stopped looking in the cupboard I stood there frozen for a second.
"Andy's packing his things…I'm sorry" I said turning around.
"…you're still leaving? Piper you can't" Phoebe said her eyes glazed over.
"I have to Phoebe…Andy's got a job…this man is being really nice to us, he's paying for a lot of things…and he's only asking for a little bit back…we have to go." I said referring to Andy's boss, he was being really nice and if we didn't go soon we wouldn't get another chance.
"We found a good two bedroom apartment…Andy's been going up there to get things ready…"
"Piper your 16 you can't move out. Besides the fact its illegal! You're pregnant. I can call the police and get them to bring you right back here and Andy might very well go to jail, as much as I don't want that…he is 18 Piper I think that's a little thing called kid knapping" Prue said laying down a whole lot of facts.
"Prue please…this is a good offer…I'm going, either way, and you know you can't send Andy to jail" I countered.
Grams said I had to leave, so I was going to, I had promised Prue I would come back…I would come back…I couldn't completely cut my sisters out of my life, out of their nephews life.
"I will if I have to" she said and the look in her eyes told me she wasn't kidding, but she never faltered, she was serious about this she wouldn't let me leave.
"Prue please…I don't have a choice!" I said thinking only of what Grams said.
Whatever was to come…we weren't ready for it. I had to leave for the sake of my baby, for the sake of my sisters.
But who is Grams to say we weren't ready for something? Yes she is amazing, she is our grandmother, but if it is our destiny, if we are really meant to go through with whatever it is…why would she tell me different?
"Look I'm going to finish packing…I'm sorry Prue." I said. Grabbing an apple off the island, I guess this will have to do. I walked away.
I was about 2 months pregnant so I was very glad it wasn't noticeable yet. Andy and I had decided not to tell his parents or we'd never get out of here.
If I wore loose clothes you'd never tell I was pregnant, which is why I opted to wearing Andy's t-shirts, mine were all to tight now, I really couldn't wait until I could wear them and look down and see my baby. Andy's shirts could very well be a short dress for me, but it smelled like him and was a good way to hide the baby for now.
The apartment was pretty big, two bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living-room/dining-room. Andy made pretty good friends with the people he would be working for and with; they gave us a lot of furniture to welcome us there. A sofa, kitchen appliances, towels, Andy rounded up what money he had and bought us a bed, we still didn't have anything in the second room but we'd work on that.
Andy and a couple of his friends from here were helping us put our stuff into his truck. I was grateful for them. They came and brought my dresser out, my boxes of clothes, jackets, and shoes. Then they went to do Andy's. I slipped on my jacket grabbing my shoulder bag I looked around the room I had grown up in and sighed. This could be the last time I'm in here.
I turned hearing a knock on the door, I saw it was Prue.
"I didn't know you were leaving today" she said and I saw the hurt look in her eyes.
"It'll be easer this way Prue. I can't wait too long, in a few months I won't be able to" I sighed.
"Call" she said staying in the doorway.
"I will everyday, I promise" I said walking over to her and giving her a big hug.
"Come on Phoebe's trying to stop the guys from bringing your dresser out" she said wrapping her arm around my shoulders.
I nodded smiling slightly. She was letting me go.
