Part 3
Piper lay watching Paige sleep. She had never been so true with her youngest sister.
She always had some sort of a barrier up. Getting close to someone again, or rather a
sister again, was terrifying to her. She did want to get to know Paige better but that
would involve letting her in.
That's what she was really scared to do, it left her open to be hurt again if anything
ever happened to Paige. In the few hours she had been lying there watching her she
realised it was to late, she had already let Paige in, she just had to let Paige know that
and stop being such a big sister.
Phoebe opened Paige's bedroom door and looked in. She was surprised to
see Piper watching their little sister. This was completely knew and she
didn't see Piper getting so close to Paige for awhile at least. She didn't
know whether to leave or not but that dilemma was answered as Piper
quietly got out of the bed and walked outside closing Paige's door over
behind her.
"Hey sweetie, you ok?" she asked putting her hand on Phoebe's cheek.
Phoebe gave a weak smile and nod, "I guess so." She hugged Piper
putting her head on her big sister's shoulder. "Pipe, what were you doing
in her room?" She asked out of curiosity.
Piper gently rubbed Phoebe's back. "She had a nightmare last night and i
didn't want to leave her she was really upset." She explained.
Phoebe broke the embrace, "you'll want to get back in there then." She
said knowing Piper always liked to be there when she had a nightmare.
Piper looked closely at Phoebe, "i do but only if your ok."
"Yeah, I'll be downstairs." Phoebe left and went downstairs making
herself some coffee.
Piper sighed watching Phoebe walk away. She was tore in two but she
had to figure everything out with Paige. She went over the phone in the
hall and called Paige in sick. Her boss didn't have a problem with it after
Piper 'reassured' him Paige really couldn't come in.
She headed straight back to Paige's room figuring she'd wake up soon.
Carefully Piper got back into bed. Putting her arms round Paige she
watched her little sister again.
First thing she felt was warmth. She felt secure. As her groggy mind
cleared she was engulfed by memories of the night before.
Piper felt Paige's body tense in her arms. So she pulled Paige in closer
letting her know she was there. She whispered a soothing, "your safe."
hoping for Paige's sake it wasn't another nightmare.
Paige opened her eyes and looked up towards the voice not quite trusting
her ears.
Piper smiled sweetly, "Hey sleepyhead."
"Thank you Piper"
Piper was surprised at how innocent Paige looked right there, also how
sincere it was. "You don't need to thank me, it's what big sisters are for."
Paige managed a weak smile at Piper's comment. She rolled on her back,
the red digits of her alarm clock made her jump up.
"I'm totally late for work!" Paige said annoyed.
Piper grabbed Paige's arm, "no, actually your not. I called your boss and
told him you wouldn't be in today."
Paige sighed, "he's going to be so pissed at me, but thanks." She said
half heartedly.
Piper waved a hand, "it's ok." She sat up, "you go get the first shower
and I'll see you downstairs."
Paige nodded and got up going straight to the bathroom. She really
didn't want to bump into Phoebe but she knew that's what Piper meant
by 'see you downstairs'
