A/N: this chapter is probably going to be another short one but read my last A/N and you'll know why.

Conversations with my mind

                Leo, Piper and Phoebe drove back to the manor in complete silence. It was not an awkward silence jus the kind where no one knew what to say, no one understood what Paige was going through or how to help her. The car turned into the driveway and everyone got out, the sun had risen a couple of hours ago, as everyone went inside. The manor seemed so empty; they walked through to the living room. There was a stain on the couch where the blood from Paige's cuts had dripped off her body. Phoebe had to get to work soon, her new boss Jason wasn't big on days off and going to work would keep her mind off things. Piper had to open the club later, it was a Saturday so she had to do a stock take. Hopefully she wouldn't think too much about things while she was doing that. They walked through to the kitchen,

                "I got to go honey," said Leo, breaking the resilient silence, "The elders want to know what's happening to Paige," he said, he kissed Piper on the forehead and orbed out. Piper and Phoebe sat in the kitchen and heard the clock chime nine 'o'clock,

                "I've got to get to work," said Phoebe walking out of the kitchen, "I'm going to visit Paige in my lunch hour, that's at one if you want to join me," she said and then headed for the door and out to work. Piper followed Phoebe out, though she didn't have to be at the club until 10:00 she thought driving around would help her take her mind off things.  She grabbed her car keys and got in the car and headed for the club.

                Meanwhile Phoebe was just arriving at the newspaper, she got out of the elevator and headed for her small office, she opened the door to find Jason sitting at her desk reading through some letters that were sprawled out across her desk. She walked in and put her bag on the desk,

                "Get out," she said without thinking, she saw the shocked look that had spread across his face and snapped back to reality,

                "Excuse me?" he asked smugly, Phoebe sighed and began to apologise,

                "Sorry Jason, I'm not in a very good mood today… family trouble, so I suggest you keep everyone away," she said as she sat down on the chair he had vacated,

                "Can I help?" he asked headed for the door.

                "No," she replied sombrely. Sensing that she was not in the mood for there usually challenging each other game he left. Slamming the door behind him. Phoebe began to read one of the letters that lay on her desk; she managed to concentrate for about ten minutes before her mind wandered to more important things.

                Why won't you let me in Paige?  Phoebe thought I don't understand what she's going through but she won't tell me, why won't she just let me in? Maybe she doesn't trust me… maybe that whole thing with Cole, him being a demon and her knowing about it, stunted our relationship more than I thought. Maybe she doesn't want to upset me again so she doesn't want to tell me her problems… no that can't be it… can it?  Phoebe's mind wandered and danced around, not once concentrating on her letters she looked down at the letters how can I even think about answering other people's problems… I'm too busy with my own. That's it, that's why she won't tell s what's wrong… there no our problems there Paige's. If it were Prue she would tell us because we grew up with her, but we didn't grow up with Paige. We barely know her; come to think of it we know only what she told us and according to what happened that isn't very much…

                Piper drove along the high way heading to P3, she pulled up in front of the club and sat in the car for a few moments before going in, the club was buried in darkness barring a small window near the back that over looked a booth. Piper walked over to it and sat down; she looked around at what she had build over the past few years, a successful club and everything she ever wanted. But now her world was shaken up, she could help but blame herself, Why didn't I see this coming? I saw how upset Paige was this morning and me being so stupid thought she just slept funny. No wonder she slit her wrists, I don't even know her and that whole thing with Cole didn't help her and Phoebe relationship… she must feel like such an outsider. But I don't know how to help her… I think that this has more to do with her than it does with us. Until she opens up there isn't much we can do… I just hope she opens up to us before she opens those wounds again.

                As 10:00 approached Piper and Phoebe sat at opposite ends of town with their minds on their sister, while she lay asleep in her hospital bed, her mind on something entirely different…

A/N Ok so this chapter wasn't very good I wrote it in a rush… I promise to re-write it and make it sooooo much better hitting on more emotion please review and tell me if you think I should.
