Nightmare Ever After Part 2
First of all he never hit Beth if he ever did I really think I would kill him. I can take the abuse. Beth can't and shouldn't.
I know what you wondering.Why are with him? Why would you stay with him after all the **** he put you through?
Well.There is no one answer. Mostly I'm scared. That's right. I Prudence Halliwell am scared. When he first started to hit me I convinced myself he would change.
Then he convinced me it was my fault that he hit me. I guess it is.If I didn't screw up he would have no reason to hit me.
Then one day I told him I would leave him if he ever hit me again. Instead of saying "Okay Sweetie.I'll never hit you again.I promise." He beat the **** out of me and told me if I ever left him he'd kill me, or my sisters.
I could not let him do that. So I stayed with him. And he has made my life a living hell ever since.

Piper Halliwell entered the Manor with her arms full with groceries. "Leo I'm home!"
Leo grabbed two of the grocery bags and the milk. "Hey honey." He said giving her a kiss on the check.
Piper smiled, "Hey." She followed him to the kitchen. "Phoebe, Cole, and Cassie are coming for diner tonight right?" Piper asked as she started to unload groceries.
Leo nodded, "Right. Are you going to call Prue about Mel and Cassie's birthday party?"
Piper sighed, "Yeah I better do that." She grabbed the cordless phone at pushed the number '1' for speed dial.
"Hello?" Dan said when he picked up the phone.
"Hey Dan it's Piper. Is Prue there?" Piper asked.
"No she's not. She had to run to the grocery store." Dan lied. He looked into the kitchen and watched as a bruised Prue made super.
"Oh." Piper said a little disappointed. She had not talked to Prue in a week. "Well we are throwing Melinda and Cassie a birthday party and we want you guys to come." Piper said.
"When is it?" Dan asked, trying to decide if he would let Prue go or not.
"Two weeks from tomorrow." Piper answered, "I thought you guys could stay with Leo an me for the weekend."
"Yeah. We'll be down there." Dan said.
Piper smiled, "Great. Could you have Prue call me when she gets home?"
"Sure." Dan lied.
"Thanks. Bye." Piper said before hanging up.
"Who was that?" Prue called from the kitchen.
"Piper." Dan said as he walked into the kitchen. He stood behind her. "She invited us to Melinda and Cassie's birthday party."
Prue looked down, "So can we go?" She asked, praying he would let her.
"Yes.I told her we'd be there." Dan said.
"Really?" Prue asked excitedly. She threw her arms around him, "Thank you."
"Your welcome." Dan said. "Is super almost ready?"
Prue nodded, "Yeah. I just put the pizza in.It will be ready in 20 minutes." Prue glanced up stairs, "Is it okay if I go check on Beth?" She asked in permission.
"Yes you may." He said smiling; it was a good thing Prue finally was smart enough to ask permission to leave the room.
~~*~~
Piper sighed as she hung up the phone.
"Every thing okay?" Leo asked, coming from behind her.
Piper nodded, "Yeah.It's just that Prue wasn't home.So I once again didn't get to talk to her.
Leo pulled Piper into a hug, "Is she coming to the party?"
Piper nodded, "Yeah."
Leo smiled, "Maybe you can convince her and Dan to move back here.Dan can find a different job."
"I wish I could.But if Prue is happy that is all that matters." Piper said.
"Well Mel is going to be happy to see her.And Beth." Leo said.
Piper smiled, "I can't wait until the party.We will all be family again."

"Beth?" Prue asked when she entered her daughter's room. She looked down onto her bed and saw Beth scrunched into a small ball with her eyes shut tightly. "Beth, sweetie are you okay?"
Beth looked up at her, "What's ****ing around Mommy?"
Prue looked down, "That's not important." Prue told Beth.
"Why did Daddy hit you?" Beth asked.
Prue sighed, "Because I was late."
"But it wasn't your fault." Beth said.
"Daddy thought it was." Prue tried to explain.
"I don't like it Daddy hits you." Beth said as she hugged Prue.
Prue winced from her daughters touch, she had so many bruises and scratches it would be hard not to hurt her when someone would touch her. "Me neither."
It was 15 minutes later when Prue, Dan, and Beth where sitting at the diner table eating super. "How do you guys like it?" Prue asked.
"It's good Mommy." Beth smiled as she took another bite of home made pizza.
"It's good Prue." Dan cleared his throat; "I'm going to the bar after super. I want the kitchen cleaned up and you in bed by 10.Okay Prue?"
"Yes Dan." Prue said looking at her plate. She wondered what it would be like when she got home.He was 10 times worse when he was drunk.
