"Who was that?" Prue said sleeply as she was just waking up.
"No one. Wrong number." Phoebe said as she walked away and went up stairs to her room. No mention of the call came up between Prue and Phoebe and Prue didn't tell Piper about it becaause she believed Phoebe. Bret didn't call the rest of that week. On Monday, the girls were sitting on the couch looking through the newspaper for a movie thats out.
"So, what do you guys want to see?" Prue asked.
"I dunno whats out Prue, you are hogging the paper." Piper said.
"Ok, ok, hold on." Prue said. She looked at the paper for one minute then handed it to Piper.
"So, how bout you Pheebs?" Prue asked. Phoebe was staring out the window and didn't respond.
"Phoebe?" Prue said again.
"Huh? Oh, um, it doesn't matter to me." Phoebe said.
"Ok. I'll be right back, going to get a drink." Prue said. She motioned Piper to follow her.
"Yea, I am a little thirsty too, we'll be right back, ok Phoebe?" Piper said. Phoebe just nodded.
In the kitchen, "We have to do something about her, Piper. Look at her, she is just sitting in there starring out the window."Prue said as she rang her fingers through her hair.
"Yea, I know, but what can we do?" Piper responded.
"I don't know, I just, i just don't know." Prue said. They both walked back into living room.
"Ok, so is everyone ready to go?" Prue asked.
"Yup." Piper said. Phoebe nodded her head and tried to put on a fake smile. Piper went over to her and put an arm around her. They walked out following Prue to the car. In the car, Piper said, "Hey, why don't we go shopping instead, it is such a beautiful day, we can check out that new shopping center they put up."
"You know what, you're right, shopping is better than the movies." Prue said. She looked in the rear view mirror and noticed a small smile on Phoebe's face, Phoebe couldn't not be happy about shopping. She did enjoy her day out with her sisters actually. She bought some new clothes and a beautiful dress she found on clearance, only $5. The next day was Tuesday. Phoebe didn't sleep at all that night and she went down stairs very early, for her at least. She was the first one up and put on a pot of coffee, which was the rule, first one up makes the coffee. About an hour later, Prue came down.
"Morning Pheebs." Prue said.
"Morning." Phoebe replied in a not-so-cheery voice.
"You're up early." Prue said as she poured a cup of coffee.
"No, I am just up really late." Phoebe said.
"You mean you didn't sleep at all last night?" Prue asked as she went over to the table to sit down. Phoebe shook her head.
"Aww, honey, are you still thinking about Bret?" Prue asked.
"Yea, but I'll be fine." Phoebe said trying to reassure Prue.
"I know this must be hard on you. But the good thing is that he hasn't called since Last Tuesday."Prue said. Just then Piper came down.
"Talking about Bret?" Piper asked, she already knew the answer though.
"Yea, Phoebe didn't get any sleep last night." Prue said.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Piper asked.
"No, I will be fine, really." Phoebe said and smiled slightly.
"Ok, but we are here if you need us." Piper said. They ate breakfast, then Prue went to work and Piper and Phoebe were at home. They still had someone stay with Phoebe just incase, even to her classes. Evening came much faster than Phoebe wanted it to. She left at 7:30 so her 25 minute drive would make her 5 minutes early, because if she came at 8:00 pm, directly, she knew Bret would get mad which is the last thing she needs.
"Bye guys." Phoebe said as she walked toward the door, hoping her sisters wouldn't ask questions.
"Hey, wait Pheebs, where ya going?" Piper asked as she and Prue walked out of the kitchen to Phoebe.
"I am going to meet a friend for dinner to talk about a school project." Phoebe lied.
"In that?"Prue asked, refering to the red, short, glittery dress that Phoebe had on.
"Yea, so." Phoebe said.
"Have a good time." Piper said.
"Ok, bye." Phoebe said, and she walked out the door. She drove for 25 minutes, thinking the whole time about what to say to Bret. She finally arrived and saw him standing outside waiting for her.
"Hello, my love." He said. He kissed her right away, but she didn't kiss him back.
"What? You didn't like that?" Bret asked.
"No, no, its not that. Its just I haven't kissed anyone in a long time, since you." Phoebe said.
"Oh, ok. Lets go in." Bret said as he put his arm around Phoebe.
"May I take your order?" The waiter asked.
"Yes, I would like the Chicken Pollo and my girlfriend will have a small garden salad. I would also like a bottle of 1956 wine."
"Right away, sir." The waiter said, then left.
"Ok, before anything is said, I need you to know how sorry I am about what I did to you. I would do anything to take that pain away from you if I could, I would even give my own life. But it is in the past, and I need you to look tot the future, the good future we can have. Please, Phoebe, forgive me." Bret said.
"I need some time to think about it...." Phoebe said.
"What do you mean, you don't forgive me, you don't think I am sincere?" Bret asked.
"No, its not you, its me, it was a lot to go through." Phoebe said.
"Yea, right, ok." Bret said. When the waiter came out with the wine, he was pouring it for Bret and Brets chair hit his arm. The wine spilled all over Bret.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Bret asked.
"I, I, I am so sorry sir, really I am. Please, let your meal be on me." The waiter said.
"No, damn your apology! This is a $500 suit!" Bret screamed.
"Bret, please, calm down, it was kind of your fault, you know." Phoebe said.
"Shut up and stay out of this, bitch." Bret said. He stood there for a minute trying to clean his suit the best he could.
"Come on, lets go, we are leaving, now!" Bret screamed at Phoebe. He pulled her up and they walked outside to the parking lot.
"I know a different place, not so fancy, not fancy at all really, but it has food, want to go there?" Bret asked in the parking lot.
"If thats where you want to go." Phoebe said.
"OK, follow me." He said. So, of course, Phoebe followed him. She was going to do whatever he wanted her to so he didn't hurt her sisters. About 15 minutes down the road, they came across a small restaurant overlooking a lake. They went in and got a table on the deck.
"This lake is beautiful." Phoebe said.
"Yea, it is." Bret said.
"May I take your order?" The waiter asked.
"Yes, I would like the steak dinner and my girlfriend will a garden salad." He said.
"Thankyou, sir." the waiter replied.
"Why is it that you order me only a salad at both places?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, I noticed you gained some wait. That dress you are wearing is the one I gave you and it is very tight on you. I want you to lose weight, fast, ok?" Bret asked.
"Of course, if thats what you want." Phoebe said, then smiled. The ate their dinner in mostly silence.
"Ok, The total comes to $30. I will leave him a $.25 tip." Bret said, then he smiled and started to walk away.
"Thats all your giving him? The man has to make a living somehow, Bret, I mean...." Phoebe said as she took out her money and was going to put some on the table.
"What, are you saying I am cheap?" Bret asked in a somewhat raised voice.
"No, no, of course not. Lets go... honey." Phoebe said, it was very hard for her to say, too. The went out to the parking lot, kissed goodbye, and went their separate ways. Phoebe thought about the night the whole drive home, and how Bret hadn't changed at all, not that she thought he would.
"I'm home." Phoebe said as she walked into the manor.
"How'd it go?" Prue asked form the couch.
"Fine, just fine." Phoebe said.
"Night Prue." Phoebe said.
"Going to bed already?" Piper asked, who was sitting next to Prue.
"Yea, goodnight Piper." Phoebe said then she walked up to her room and fell fast asleep. The next, she had a late class, so she slept in. At about 10, when only Phoebe was left in the manor, the phone rang. Phoebe had just gotten up and went to the phone.
"Hello?" Phoebe asked.
"Hello, Phoebe. Last night went very well, dont you think? Anyway, I want you to meet me at the same restaurant by the lake in 1 week, at 7:00. If you remember, I will know you love me and if not, I will kill your sisters. Plus a week will give you time to lose some weight. Ok, goodbye." Phoebe hung up the phone. She got dressed and went to her classes as usual. That night:
"Dinner is ready!" Piper yelled from the kitchen.
"Yumm, smells good, what did ya make?" Prue asked, with Phoebe following behind her.
"Spaghetti, one of Phoebe's favorite meals." Piper said. Everyone sat down at the table.
"You know what guys, I am not really hungry, I am just gonna pass on dinner." Phoebe said.
"But you didn't eat breakfast, because it is still in the fridge, and you don't usually eat lunch." Piper said.
"I am just not hungry, ok? I gotta go study." Phoebe said as she got up and went up stairs. She didn't study though, she thought about things. Her life, Bret, and how everything is screwed up. She fell asleep on her bed with a tear stained face. The next morning she walked downstairs to the smell of blue berry pancakes. She poured herself some coffee and sat down at the table where Prue was.
"How many you want, Phoebe?" Piper asked.
"None for me." Phoebe said.
"Ok, Phoebe what's the deal?" Prue asked.
"What do you mean?" Phoebe asked.
"You didn't eat dinner, you aren't eating breakfast..." Piper started.
"I am just, not hungry.." Phoebe said which she knew was a lie because she was starving terribly.
"Ok, if you say so. "Piper said.
"Ok, so what is everyone doing today?" Prue asked.
"I am staying home. Everything at the club is done and ready for tonight." Piper said.
"I am doing the usual." Phoebe said.
"Well, I haven't got anything to do, either. Why don't we all do something together." Prue said.
"Like what?" Piper asked.
"We could go to that park we used to go to with Grams." Prue said.
"Yea, ok. I can make a picnic lunch." Piper said. Phoebe just nodded in agreement.
At the park:
"Ok, this looks like a good table." Piper said.
"Yea." Prue said.
"Ok, lets eat. Phoebe, I made you your favorite, egg salad and Prue, I made your favorite, peaut butter and cheese." Piper said handing out sandwiches.
"Yum, Piper this is great." Phoebe said as she ate her sandwich. They all finished quickly.
"Ok, now for dessert. A triple layer chocolate cake." Piper said as she pulled it out of the basket they brought.
"Wow, looks good." Prue said. They all ate a piece of cake, then cleaned up their trash.
"I am gonna go to the bathroom, be right back." Phoebe said.
"Ok." Piper said to Phoebe who was already walking off. 2 minutes later, Prue said, "I am gonna go to the bathroom too." She got up and walked to the bathroom. When she went in, she heard someone vomitting. She looked under the stall and she could see Phoebe's shoes.
"Phoebe? You ok?" Prue asked.
"Uh, yea, I am fine." Phoebe said, trying to sound OK.
"No, you're not, you're getting sick, Open the door." Prue said.
"No, I am fine, really. I'll be out in a few minutes." Phoebe said.
"Phoebe. Open this door right now or I will crawl under." Prue said.
"Fine. Go ahead and crawl under." Phoebe said, not thinking Prue would crawl under, but she did.
"Prue!" Phoebe said.
"I told you I would crawl under." Prue said. She stood up and looked at he sister.
"Prue, I told you I am fine." Phoebe said and smiled weakly.
"Yea, right, and you think I believe you?" Prue asked.
"Well, that would be normal for a person to believe her sister." Phoebe said as she tried to get out of the stall.
"You're not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on." Prue said.
"Nothing, OK. Nothing is going on." Phoebe said then she left the bathroom.
"Phoebe, don't you walk away from me!" Prue said as she ran after Phoebe who was already halfway back to Piper.
"What is going on now?" Piper asked when both her sisters were back.
"I went into the bathroom and Phoebe was puking, but she won't tell me whats wrong." Prue said.
"Phoebe?" Piper asked.
"Nothing is wrong, OK. I swear, Can we just go home?" Phoebe asked.
"Yea, sure, come on." Piper said as she gathered their stuff.
"But Piper, she didn't even..." Prue started but Piper gave her a 'we'll talk about it later' look, so she shutup. When they got home,
"I am just going to go to bed, I am really tired." Phoebe said.
"Ok, call us if you need us." Piper said. Phoebe went up stairs and Prue and Piper went into the living room.
"Something is wrong with her and she isn't telling us." Prue said.
"Maybe she is just sick. If there is something really wrong that she can't handle, she will come to us." Piper said.
"Yea, well I hope so." Prue said.
That night at the dinner table:
"I am only going to eat a salad because I feel really sick to my stomach." Phoebe said.
"Ok, as long as you eat something." Piper said. Phoebe ate her salad, then went back to her room to study.
The next day:
Prue was walking down the hall, upstairs, and peeked into Phoebe's room. She saw Phoebe excercising. Push-ups, crunches, everything. She didn;t say anything though. For the next 2 days, Phoebe excercised 5 hours a day, and eat 3 small salads.
3days later(from the picnic), in the morning:
"Morning Phoebe." Prue said.
"Morning." Phoebe replied.
"Hey Phoebe, what do you want for breakfast?" Piper asked.
"Uh, nothing for me, I am just going to get some coffee." Phoebe said.
"Come on, you gotta eat something." Piper said. She went over to the table where Phoebe was now sitting and handed her a piece of toast.
"At least eat this, for me, please?" Piper asked.
"Fine." Phoebe said. She took the toast and ate it quickly. She drank the last of her coffee and then stood up.
"Now, I am going to go take a bath." Phoebe said. She went up stairs and went into the bathroom.She reached for the nozzle to turn on the water, but she got very dizzy.
"No one. Wrong number." Phoebe said as she walked away and went up stairs to her room. No mention of the call came up between Prue and Phoebe and Prue didn't tell Piper about it becaause she believed Phoebe. Bret didn't call the rest of that week. On Monday, the girls were sitting on the couch looking through the newspaper for a movie thats out.
