Part 3


---I feel like this won't go away
No matter how hard I try to
Squeeze my eyes shut so I can't see
The pain in you this pain in me - in me---

Prue slammed on her brakes and rested her head on the steering wheel. On the
way to Roger's she kept on thinking about her sisters, grams and how much she
didn't want to be with Roger.
She was trying to forget about Grams being gone, by pretending nothing was wrong.
She couldn't do it and Piper would need her. She would have to try to sort things out
with Phoebe but she was still to pissed at her just now. Prue turned the car around
and headed back home.

Within a couple of minutes she arrived and went straight to the kitchen expecting to
see Piper, when she didn't Prue went and checked all the ground-floor then she
shouted up stairs for Piper. Again with no answer she went upstairs to Piper's room,
she could imagine her baby sister asleep then as she opened the door her heart
almost stopped.

Piper lay still, blood leaking from her wrist's. Prue was froze in shock she couldn't
move only look at her baby sister. She tried closing her eyes to see if it was all just a
bad dream but it wasn't.

She ran out of the room grabbing the phone, just managing to dial 9-1-1 with her
shaking hands. "Please I need an ambulance my sister she done something. please
hurry up! 1329 Prescott street please hurry up." Prue begged not letting the woman
get a word in, she hung up going back to Piper although the woman tried to get her
to stay on.

Prue fell on her knee's next to Piper, she shoved the knife away and took Piper in
her arm's. She rocked her sister telling her it would all be ok, before she knew the
paramedics appeared at the bedroom door rushing in they took Piper off of her.

She watched them check a load of stats, try and stop Piper from bleeding and inject
her with god-know's what. They passed medical terms that Prue couldn't even
understand. They quickly loaded Piper on a stretcher and took her out to the
ambulance. Prue followed tears still streaming down her face, she never once took
her eyes off her sister.

She couldn't feel anything, only the guilt weighing on her heart. She climbed in the
ambulance beside Piper, and gently moved some hair out of her little sister's face.
"Please don't leave me, I'm so sorry." Prue chocked on a sob, "I love you" She
leaned over kissing her sister's head.
"Will she be ok?" Prue Quietly asked the paramedic.
He stopped and looked at Prue, "I'm sorry I can't say."
Normally Prue would argue or make him tell her but she didn't, all her strength she
would have to save for Piper. She'd have to be strong for her.

Prue's mind was racing as she thought about the possibilities: if Piper made it, If she
didn't. If she wanted to be helped, If she fought it. If she would ever be the same or
if she would be changed forever.

Prue's train of thought was interrupted by the guy letting her know they were at the
hospital. Prue got out then they lifted Piper out and immediately Doctor's and nurses
surrounded them, Prue put and death grip on the stretcher as she didn't plan on
leaving Piper's side.

When they got into the ER a doctor ordered a nurse to Prue out of the room but she
wouldn't move. "I won't leave you baby." She promised. A security guard soon came
up behind Prue gently putting his hands on her shoulders, Prue didn't even turn, she
just kept her eyes on her sister.

The security guy tried to talk Prue into leaving as he could see she was very upset
but she would get in the way here. Without warning Prue kissed Piper's head then
left. She was taken to a waiting room where Prue sat in her own world, out of her
mind with worry for her sister. As she looked down, she saw the blood all over her,
that was it as Prue broke down and cried.

---But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you
Everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it---

"Miss Halliwell?" The doctor asked looking down to a concerned Prue.
"Yes. Is my sister ok?" Prue asked as she stood up.
"She is stable. Your sister lost a lot of blood but you got to her in time. Physically
she will be fine but mentally we don't know..."
Prue stopped him, "don't suggest that Piper is some kind of psycho!"
The doctor silenced Prue. "Miss Halliwell I am not saying that but we will be keeping
a close eye on Piper, she tried to commit suicide that cannot go unseen. We will be
sending her to a psychologist, where they will help figure out the problem and
hopefully go on to solve it."

Prue listened intently as she felt her eyes welling up again. "I'm sorry." Prue said
above a whisper.
The doctor gave a sympathetic smile, "that's ok. Is there anyone you would like me
to call?"
Prue shook her head, "there is know one to call. Can I see Piper?"
The doctor nodded his head and lead the way to Piper's room. All the while he
couldn't help but feel sorry for these two young woman. "It's just through here. Ask
one of the nurses to Page me if you need me or need to ask anything, Doctor Titus."
He gave her another sympathetic smile before he left.

Prue took a deep breath before opening Piper's door. Seeing her little sister looking
so small on that bed, so pale. It broke her heart. She quietly walked in, taking the
seat next to Piper's bed.

She looked her sister up and down, Piper lay there the only evidence being some
tubes, and two bandages around her wrists. Prue took Piper's hand in her own,
careful not to hurt her little sister anymore. Prue sat stroking Piper's hair just wishing
she would wake up but also scared of when she did. Prue would be there for her no
matter what.

After hours, or what seemed like hours. Piper started to stir. Prue sat up leaning
over closer to Piper. "Piper? Honey can you hear me?" Prue asked softly. Piper
mumbled something. After a little more coaxing Piper opened her eyes. When she
saw Prue she thought maybe it was all just a bad dream but then she looked
around.

This was the hospital which means..... Piper seen it all again, she was in her room
and she used the knife......God she actually used the knife. Tears started to fall
down her face as she remembered everything, how she felt, what she saw, what she
was thinking, smelling, everything.

Prue saw as Piper began to cry so her motherly instincts took over as she got up on
the bed trying her best to comfort her sister. After a few minutes Prue got Piper
calmed down. She had no idea how to start so just went for it, "how are you feeling,
sweetie?" Piper sniffed then shrugged. Prue moved out from behind Piper, which
instantly panicked her.

Piper grabbed onto Prue. Prue was slightly shocked but sat back down in her seat
taking Piper's hand again. "Its ok I'm not going anywhere." Piper didn't know if she
could believe it this time. Prue might leave her all alone again. "Piper.....talk to me?
Please?" Prue begged, she was never good at this it was always Piper's job.

Piper looked into Prue's eyes not saying a word. Prue could see the Pain and the
sadness in her eyes, it ripped at her soul. "Pipe.....I'm sorry I left. I was scared but I
came back I was going to make it right, and I will. This is all so wrong that we lose
someone else but we still have each other. Or I hope we always will. I couldn't bear
to lose you too. Tonight was close, too close. I'll never let it come close to that
again, I promise." Prue kissed Piper's head as her own tears fell to.

Piper took the chance and wrapped her arm's around her big sister not letting her go
just taking comfort in her embrace.
