Prue's Secret
Chapter Two "What Andy Did"
A/N: Thanks to everyone who's reviewed!
"He…raped you" Piper repeated wondering if she heard Prue wrong. It didn't make sense, what Prue was saying. Andy would never do something like that, it was Andy, they had known him forever. "Are you sure?" Piper asked instantly regretting it the second the words were out of her mouth, of course she's sure, Piper told herself as Prue's liquid blue eyes looked up at her hurt. "Y-you don't believe me" Prue said in between sobs. "No, honey, I do, I'm sorry, I…" Piper trailed off, tears were streaming down her face as well. She did believe Prue, but it was still just hard to imagine Prue; strong confident Prue getting taken advantage of by anyone, but especially Andy. "I do believe you" Piper said again and Prue just nodded seemingly slipping back into her own world again "No you don't" Prue said, more to herself than Piper. "No one would believe me…I knew it…I shouldn't have told…shouldn't have told" Prue repeated to herself shaking her head.
"Prue" Piper said, snapping her back to reality, it scared Piper how Prue was acting, how that some times it was like she didn't even notice Piper was there. "Prue…" Piper said again and trailed off, she had so many questions, how could this happen to her big sister? "When?" Piper asked, barely being able to choke out that one word "When did it happen?" Prue hesitated and her lower lip trembled like she was going to burst into tears again. "Long time ago" Prue answered sounding much younger than her 27 years. "We were teenagers…I was 17" Prue said getting a faraway look in her eyes like she was remembering it. Then she shuddered violently and shook her head, looking sadly at Piper.
"10 years ago?" Piper asked surprised "You've been dealing with this for ten years?" Prue nodded. "I promised him I would tell" Prue said as a few more tears slipped out of the cornet of her eye "I tried to keep my promise, I really did, Piper" Piper hugged her tighter "I know Prue, but you should have told sooner. You should't have had to go through it alone. My God ten years" Piper said again incredulously. "You have to tell someone…the police" Piper stopped realizing that telling the police would do nothing now, ten years later and especially after Andy's death. Piper looked down a t Prue, at a loss for words, she wanted to help her sister so badly, she wanted to take all her pain away, but she had no idea what to say or do, Prue just looked so…desperate.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Piper asked her gently. "No!" Prue answered immediately, shaking her head forcefully, "No, Piper, please don't make me talk about it, please" Prue begged. "Okay, okay, calm down, you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to, I just thought it might make you feel better" Piper replied looking towards Prue's open door wishing Phoebe would come in and help her. Help her do what exactly she didn't know, but Phoebe could always cheer Prue up and she really needed it right now.
"Prue, honey, can I ask you a question?" Piper asked, not wanting to upset her more but her curiosity getting the better of her. "Un-huh" Prue answered, wiping her eyes and untangling herself from Piper's arms, laying down on her bed and curling up, her back to Piper. "Was that the only time Andy…" Piper couldn't seem to make herself say it. She got up and sat next to Prue's balled up form on the bed "Was it only once?" she asked. "Y-yes" Prue whimpered, and curled into a ball tighter "I'm not going to talk about it" she said again, "I shouldn't have told you" "I'm happy you did, you needed to tell someone" Piper replied and was about to say more when Prue interrupted her "I just want to be alone Piper" she said, still not looking a her. Piper was surprised "Are you sure?" she asked. Prue sighed "Piper…just go" Prue id sounding tired and defeated. "Okay, I'll be downstairs if you need me" she told Prue as she walked out the door.
Prue sighed again when she heard Piper walk out, tears of shame and humiliation burned her eyes, how could I tell? Prue thought miserably, I shouldn't have said anything, now Piper's going to worry about me; this is my problem not hers. How could I do this to her…or Andy?
