Prue's Secret
Chapter 5 "Moving On"
Prue sighed and wiped her eyes, realizing Piper was right, it really was over. She'd told someone, finally told someone and now she could start to move on with her life. But move on how? Prue wondered. She and Piper both sat there silently for a few minutes until Piper asked her, "Are you okay, honey?" Prue smiled, "Actually, I am" she replied honestly. "But the strange part about this whole thing is, I don't hate Andy. I know that he used me when we where younger, but I still don't hate him, because I know that he changed; when we we're dating before he died he wasn't that same 17 year old boy, he had grown up. A lot. I guess we both had, but I forgive him." Piper smiled at Prue's words and hugged her again.
*~*~*
The next day Prue woke up feeling much calmer and happier than she had in a long time, but as she got ready for work she still couldn't get Andy off of her mind. She had forgiven him, but there was still something…unresolved, something Prue felt she should do to be able to move on once and for all. On her way out the door Prue grabbed a rose out of the vase on the Halliwell's kitchen table; she was going to Andy's grave.
*~*~*
A half hour later Prue walked among the tombstones, her eyes scanning the name on each one until she found Andy's. Prue paused for a moment , just staring at it, she hadn't been to his funereal and until now his death had never seemed completely real to her, it was naive, but she half expected him to call her or show up on her doorstep for a date. But seeing him name carved in the stone hit her for the first time that he really wasn't coming back. Her eyes filled with tears and she set the single red rose on his grave, forgetting everything she came to say to him, how she felt all those years, how she'd forgiven him. None of that mattered now, Prue stood up and wiped her eyes, the only thing she said before leaving was "Goodbye Andy"
