Before Paige could even open her eyes she could hear Piper and Leo
talking, more like a dull murmor peeking through the dark cloud
that surrounded her mind.
Slowly she opened her eyes, and found herself staring at a
worried and angry Piper.Gently Piper pushed some hair away from her
sisters eyes. Unfortunatly her instincts had been right, and
something was wrong.
"Paige, honey...what happened"
She could still feel the alchol clouding her mind, she didn't want
to run or hide anymore, maybe she did need help.
"I had a run in with a demon"
"Yeah...I gather that...how did it happen...whats been going on,
Leo told me that he saw you last night, Let me help you sweety"
Paige took a deep breath trying to push the fog from her brain.
"I didn't want you to know....i didn't want anybody to know,
Nicolas told me he wouldn't tell if i did one of his friends a
favor he would leave me alone....When Leo saw me I was delivering
a sample of yours and Phoebes hair...I don't know what he wanted
with it....I felt so guilty....So I went to stop him, to get it
back....but he was so strong...I couldn't stop him...I got it back
though...Nicolas...he's going to be so mad" Tears began to spill
from her eyes.
"shhh...it's okay" Piper wrapped her arms around her little sister,
what bothered her most is What she didn't want them to find out
about.
"Paige....whatever happened that you don't want us to know about,
it's okay, we'll get through it together, just tell me so i can
help you....please"
Paige stared at her older sister, what did she have to lose, since
she had failed Nicolas was bound to come knocking and tell them
anyways.
"Nicolas..he and I used to date back in highschool, he was a 'bad
boy' and i loved him for it. He used to get really mad....I would
do things that would upset him...he didn't mean to....it was my
fault really"
"paige....that wasn't your fault"
"that may be true but What happened to Trish was my fault. I was
driving, I made her let me drive because I thought i was less drunk
than she was. It was so dark that night, it was like the moon was
hiding, I could barely see anything...I didn't see the tree infront
of me...i veered off the road....The tires made an awful squeal,
the glass shattered and flew everywhere, She tried to get out but
couldn't, I orbed out of the car just before it hit, I went back
for her but...she was dead....a part of the tattered and crushed
metal. I was so scared...I ran...I just ran...I didn't go for help.
Her body was found the next day, they buried her...I should have
been buried with her...I survived and she didn't"
Tears poured from her in a neverending stream.
Piper held onto her, rubbing her back, letting her get it out.
"Paige look at me....There was nothing else you could do if she was
already dear....you thought you were helping her...chances are she
would have crashed that car wether you were driving or not. You
know things happen for a reason...you survived for a reason, you
have done so much good, helped so many people. You need to let it
go, I bet she forgives you, she knows it was an accident, and so
should you"
"But what about Nicolas?"
"He dosen' have any power over you Paige, you are stronger now, you
have the power, we will face him together if he comes.....he only
has power if you let him"
I cried myself to sleep that night, but for the first time in along
time i felt safe...I felt relieved...free. Piper held me all night
I wasn't the same scared girl that I once was, he didn't have any
power over me anymore, and he never would.
