Part 9

Paige orbed into the dance floor of P4.

As her hearing faded back to her she heard muffled cries.

Following sound to the alcove she pulled back the curtain to reveal Piper, knee's to her chest, sobbing her heart out.

The site made her soul sink.

"Oh Piper." She said as she sat down next to Piper and put an arm around her.

Piper immediately shrugged Paige off and moved to the other end of the sofa.

"Stay away from me." She said emotionally.

Paige quickly put her hurt to the side.

She looked Piper over.

Her sister had a black eye, split lip, gash on her head, bloodied clothes and bruised and bleeding wrists.

The site was heart breaking.

Her insticts took over as she reached out her hand to heal Piper only to have her back away again.

She sighed and noticed the bottle.

"Piper? look at me." She demanded.

Piper still didn't look towards Paige.

"I havn't drank anything." She said quietly knowing what Paige was thinking.

"Well, I think you should." Paige said as she passed Piper the glass. "It might calm your nerves."

Piper made no attempt to ake the glass until she realised she needed it. Taking it in her trembling hands she slowly drink it.

Paige took in Piper's broken appearence again.

"Let me heal you." Paige said seriously.

Piper shook her head as she looked down to her oozing wrist.

"Why not?" Paige coaxed.

"I don't deserve to be healed." Piper told her.

Paige's eyes began to blur with tears. "Piper, don't do this. You deseve to be healed, you deserve to go home and live life with the family who love you."

Piper's eyes matched Paige's. Looking at her baby sister she was so confused, why was she there trying to help her?

"I don't deserve anything. What I done... I should be lynched for it and you should be the one supporting that."

"No! That's bull and you know it! Piper, I don't know what was running through your mind or what made you do it but I know that in your heart you were trying to help me. I love you for that. It shows me that you don't want me to suffer." Paige explained, hoping Piper was finally coming round.

"I tried to.. to.. I shouldn't have! What right did I have to make that decision!" Piper exclaimed, finally opening up slightly.

"Every right! You're my big sister, you were there! You watched it all! I don't know what state I was in but I sure as hell know it couldn't have been nice!"

Piper blinked and tearsan down her face. "I didn't want you to be in anymore pain. Prue wasn't healing you. I thought she couldn't. And you... you were drowning."

Paige was about to ask how she could be drowning and realised Piper didn't mean she was drowning in water.

"I couldn't watch that either." Paige admitted.

"What if Prue had been a second later? You wouldn't be here. I would have killed you. Then they would kill me. I was trying to do the right thing. I knew you were suffering. I only wanted to stop it." Piper cried.

Paige had been slowly edging towards Piper and now she was within range. Reaching out she engulfed her big sister in her arms. Gently stroking her hair she shushed her. It was breaking her heart to hear Piper's pained cries.

After Piperhad a long hard cry Paige broke their hold and moved Piper's hair from her face, she was looking pretty pale.

"You ok?"

Piper shook her head, "I'm going to be sick." She said before doubling over and releasing the contents of her stomach.

Paige rubbed Piper's back until she seemed to stop heaving. She eased her back intothe sofa.

Her fear rose as she saw her sister was prettyout of it. It was then she noticed Piper's wrist was still bleeding. The cut had to be deeper than it looked.

Reaching out her hands she summoned her power to heal her battered sister.

After a minute Piper opened her eyes. Looking at Paige timidly she gave a half smile, "thank you."

Paige hugged her big sister again.

"Let's say we get this cleaned up." She said refering to the vomit on the floor.

Piper nodded unenthusiastically.
