Chapter 4 Facing Problems
Phoebe and Prue entered the manor. Prue looked around it hadn't changed too much from when she left.
"She's probably in her room." Phoebe stated. That's where Piper had spent most of her time when she wasn't with Dan. At night Phoebe could hear sobs but when she went in Piper denied it. Prue nodded heading up stairs. Pheeb's followed close behind her. "What are we going to say?" Phoebe asked not sure if they would even get threw to Piper. She had built a strong wall up around her. To hide the pain of her so called life.
"We just show her how much we love her and need her…. And how much she needs us. We can only hope that's enough." Prue replied doubts filling her own mind. Piper was so filled with anger it wouldn't be easy. The two stopped infront of Piper's door almost to afraid to open it. They could hear quiet sobs from the other side. Prue opened the door quietly to see Piper on her bed. Her head was stuffed in a pillow as she sobbed.
"Piper?" She whispered questionable. Piper raised her head in surprise. She had obviously been home alone since no one lived in the manor but her anymore. She whipped her eyes her features becoming harder.
"Why are you back?" She asked getting up a coldness coming off her. "And I thought I told you to get out!" Piper exclaimed pointing at Pheeb's. She cringed behind Prue hurt at her words. She was hoping Piper had forgiven her, apparently not.
"Piper!" Prue exclaimed back in the same tone. "She's your sister and she has just as much a right to be in this house as you!"
"Whatever." Piper muttered turning away from them.
"Please Piper we love you and need you….. And you may not believe it but you need us." Phoebe pleaded.
"Piper think about I know you don't like witchcraft but the most powerful witches where three witches not one. You think you're strong alone but you aren't Piper." Prue explained.
"We are your sister and we miss you." Phoebe added. Piper turned around to face them. The coldness and anger had been washed away. Pain and loneness had replaced it. Her eyes watered up and tears split over. She fell to her knees and started to sob.
"I'm so sorry." She uttered. Phoebe and Prue knelt down beside her and wrapped their arms around her.
"Its ok." Prue soothed sweeping back her hair.
"I was just so scared and and alone I I didn't want you guys to leave but I was just anger." Piper cried burying her head in Phoebe's shoulder.
"Its ok Piper we understand." Phoebe replied glad Piper was opening up to them. The three sat on the floor crying what seemed hours. After Piper finally calmed down they moved to the bed.
"I need to apologize to… I'm sorry for leaving you guys… I I don't know what came over me. I wasn't her for both of you and I'm ashamed of it. I'm so so sorry I hope you can forgive me." Prue apologized to both Piper and Phoebe.
"Oh Prue your always taking care of us you deserved that little alone time." Phoebe stated surprised that she thought they would be upset. Piper nodded in agreement.
"And I am going to try and be more understand with Dan I'm sorry." Phoebe said knowing she hadn't been the easiest to be with these past weeks.
"I dunno how I lived so long without you guys." Piper exclaimed bringing her sisters in for another hug.
Suddenly the door downstairs was flung open and a yell was followed.
"PIPER!!!" Piper cringed at the yell. She had forgotten about their date. She got up ready to go downstairs and face him.
"Piper wait. I know I said I would try and understand…. But I can't. Please Piper you deserve so much better. Remember what it was like before…. You say this is love but it isn't." Phoebe explained knowing she couldn't let this go on.
"She's right Piper you don't love Dan….. and he obviously doesn't love you." Prue replied knowing this was going to be hard for her.
"I I know….. but I'm afraid…. If if I leave him he'll hurt me. And I'll be alone" Piper replied a fresh batch of tears showing.
"No you will still have us." Phoebe replied.
"He won't hurt you, not anymore! We will be right her to support you if you need it." Prue answered firmly she wasn't going to allow him to do this to her sister anymore. Phoebe nodded in agreement.
"PIPER!!! GET DOWN HER NOW DAMIT!!!! OR I'M COMING UP!!!" Dan yelled even angrier.
"Be right there!" she exclaimed… "Ok I'm going to do this." Piper said trying to sound confident. She turned around walking downstairs. Dan stood outraged at the door.
"BITCH! TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!" He exclaimed slapping her across the face. "WHAT ABOUT OUR DATE HUH!?! YOU LITTLE SLUT!!!! OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE." Tears welled up in Pipers eyes. She held her hand to her stinging cheek.
Phoebe tried to rush to her but Prue stopped her at the top of the stairs.
"She has to do it herself." Prue whispered.
"Dan…. I I don't want you…. In my life anymore." Piper stated looking him in the eyes.
"WHAT! You think you can just dismiss me like that?" Dan asked even more outraged. He went to slap her again but she stopped his hand.
"DAN GET OUT!!! I DON'T WANNA EVER SEE YOU AGAIN!!! YOU HEAR ME GET OUT!!!!" She screamed all the anger bottled up exploding at Dan.
"You wish." Dan replied pushing her.
"I think you better go!" Prue exclaimed coming down the stairs. Dan looked at her in surprise.
"Since when did you get back?" He asked.
"Non of your business." Phoebe replied spitefully "Now get out! Piper doesn't want a piece of trash like you and neither do we!" The sisters came beside Piper. Prue was ready fling him out the door if needed. He could sense great power coming from the three. He backed off walking out the door.
"Don't get me wrong though… this isn't the end…. Not by a long shot." With that he left.
"He's going to come back…. Who knows what he's going to do." Piper stated looking at the open door.
"We are witches we can handle him… Plus I'll call Darryl." Prue replied.
"Come on sisters lets catch up." Phoebe said trying to lighten the mood. "We will take care of the gorilla later." With that the sisters went to go catch up. Things where as it should be….. Only a few more things left to be resolved.
