Epilogue -
*Prue's Pov*
Here it was three weeks after Paige had been released from the hospital. Grams hadn't spoke to Paige at all when she was in the hospital or when she got home. Soon Paige after she was released she began to go through stages of withdraw from the drugs. Grams put her into Rehab. She's been there for about a week and a half or so.
Piper and I have been visiting her alot. She's gotten really pale but she says she's been feeling much better and that she's been going to NA meetings. Besides her paleness she looks alot better. She told us that she needed Grams to sign the release papers though, so she would probably be there for a while.
I argued for a long time with the doctors there to let me sign Paige out but since I wasn't her legal guardian I couldn't. With Grams attitude right now. Paige would probably have to wait until she was old enough to sign herself out.
Phoebe locked herself in her room alot. Here and Piper talked alot, same with her and Grams. I've talked to her a little but not as much, Phoebe understands or at least says she does. I've focused more on Paige.
I came home from school today to find nobody home. Phoebe has basketball practice so I knew she wouldn't be home. Piper was picking her up so she possibly went early to watch but where was Grams
"Hmm" I said to myself.
I went to the kitchen and saw a note from Piper.
Prue,
Hey, went early to Phoebe's practice, I was bored. I don't know where Grams is. She was just going to her car when I came home and didn't say where she was going but she said to tell you she didn't know when she would be home. She left some money on the counter for dinner
Love,
Piper
"Weird" I said aloud to myself
Looking at the clock I saw it was 5:45. I knew Piper and Phoebe would be home soon and that Phoebe would be hungry. I went to the phone and ordered in a pizza for delivery.
Soon enough Piper and Phoebe pulled up along the side of the road just I paid the delivery guy. I waited at the door for my sisters and laughed when I saw Phoebe smiled seducingly at the delivery boy.
Piper just smiled softly and shook her head. "C'mon guys the pizzas are cold." I called from the door.
At the mention of pizza, Phoebe forgot about the boy and snapped her head towards me.
Her and Piper followed me into the kitchen and we sat down and ate.
"So where do you think Grams is?" Asked Piper
"I dunno, it's bugging me though" I replied
After we ate. Piper and I did the dishes as Phoebe went into the living room and did her homework.
A few hours later. Phoebe was in the conservatory watching TV as Piper and I read. Grams then walked through the door with Paige in tow.
I jumped up and ran towards Paige giving her a enormous hug. "Paige!" I screamed
Phoebe came running and same with Piper; we pulled Paige in for a group hug. "Thanks guys!" Muttered Paige "But I still need air!" She gasped
We all blushed and chuckled. "It's great to have you home!" Said Phoebe
"It's great to be home" Replied Paige.
Piper, Phoebe, Paige and I all shared my bedroom tonight. None of us wanted to be separated again. I just couldn't sleep. I got out of the bed, careful not to wake my sisters and walked downstairs where I found Grams in the kitchen, drinking tea. She was sitting in the dark.
"Hey" I whispered softly
Grams looked up from her tea. "Prudence! What are you still doing up?" She asked obviously shocked that I would be up around 2am.
"Couldn't sleep, but I could also ask you the same question Grams"
"Same reason as you Prue"
I sat down in the chair next to Grams we sat in stillness for the longest while until Grams finally broke it by starting the conversation I wanted to have with her but didn't know how to approach.
"She is still my granddaughter Prue. It had just stung for a while on way Paige would feel the need to do that kind of thing. Am I not providing a good enough home for you girls?"
"Grams you're doing a great job at raising us, you always have but as the oldest I know that the oldest and the youngest are probably the most hardest roles to play. Being the oldest you have all of your siblings looking up to you for guidance and as a role model. But also as the youngest Paige probably felt like 'okay well I'm probably going to get in the most trouble if I do something my sisters did because I should've learned from them'. Paige needed to know that she could make mistakes and people would still love her and be there for her. Alot of people probably think being the oldest is the hardest but I being the oldest and watching my sisters grow, I'm kind of realizing that none of the roles are as great as they're cracked up to be"
Grams looked down at her cup again after Prude finished talking. She had no idea what to say.
"Goodnight Grams" I got out of my seat, kissed Grams on the cheek and walked back upstairs.
Fin.
