Kelly- Luke is Piper and John's 14 year old son. I thought I had said that, sorry! Forgive me? Oh, it is her real son. He kind of took the place of Wyatt.
Witch- Trust me with the sister thing. Please?
Thank you everyone! It means a lot when you guys review.

Piper woke up at 5. She turned over to see the bed empty. 'Thank goodness' she thought.
She got out of bed to check if Luke was there. He wasn't in his room. She took advance of this and took a shower. As the warm water hit her fragile body she felt pain shooting all over. After a while she let the water relax her.
Piper quickly walked downstairs. She was going to go to the store. She knew she shouldn't leave, but if she didn't... John would probably have a hangover. His hangovers mean, painkillers and he has two types. Oh is the medicine and the other is beating on Piper.
As she made her way down stairs, she saw John. He was out cold on the couch. She really needed to get out now. As she was going to open the door, Luke did from the outside.
'Shit!' Piper thought.
"Where are you going?" he asked, stepping in her way. He yelled like Piper couldn't hear, which of course woke up John.
"What the HELL?"
Piper tried to get past Luke. If she did, she wasn't coming back. Not with Luke. She could deal with John, but not Luke. Luke easily stepped in the way.
"What is going on?" John moaned.
"The bitch was going to leave you out cold on the couch."
"I..." Piper started.
"Shut it!" Luke said. He grabbed her wrist easily.
"Luke, put her in her place. I will be back in a second, I need painkillers."
Luke looked at Piper trembling. He pinned her against the wall holding her hands above her head. He then repeated to knee her in the stomach. Then he moved to her hip, which had already had many bruises from yesterday.
"You are lucky. I don't even know why he puts up with you. You are useless," Luke whispers in her ear while moving her wrist to one hand. Piper had learned to zone out during the beatings. It didn't help much, but this way, she only had to deal with physical abuse.
Luke took the free hand and punched her. First in the eye, then again in the hip. It was always his favorite spot. He notices he crying the time John came back.
"Look, I made her cry."
"My turn," John said.
"Please, I'll..."
"SHUT UP!" John punched her jaw. "When ever they get annoying, the jaw always shuts them up," he explained to Luke.
Blood trickled down Piper's face as he kept repeating to abuse her.
(~)(~)
After both of them left to school/work she sat down on the bed, crying to whole time. She took a nap and at noon she got to work. Some times she wished she had a job, but she had sold P3 because of Luke being born. She had not got another job because that was the time John started beating her. She didn't know how to explain the bruises that covered her.
As she was working she recalled that when Luke was younger. John use to beat on him too. Then all of a sudden, Luke turned on Piper. Luke and her protected each other, now he is against her. He did the whole, you can't beat `em, join 'em.
She looked at the clock. 2:49. Luke usually gets home at 2:40. She went into the kitchen to make a snack. Maybe that wouldn't get him mad. She was almost done when she heard them.
"Bitch, down here!"
Piper knew she must responded, and do so quickly.
"Um... yeah?"
"Oh SHUT IT!" Tim said.
Piper looked around. No Mark.
"Bitch, Tim wants to know how much you cost," Luke said.
The cracked Luke and Time up. She looked at Justin. He was quiet. Piper thought he looked like someone she knew. Someone from the past.
"Luke, I have work I really need to do. There are snacks in the kitchen," Piper said, walking to the stairs.
"Um... I don't think so," Tim said, stepping in her way.
"You guys, come on," Justin said.
"Oh, come on Justin, it is fun," Luke said. Tim kissed Piper and then threw her down. Piper hit the floor hard. She got up and ran for the stairs. Luke grabbed her wrist and threw her against the wall. She went unconscious on impacted. Tim laughed and they went off to the kitchen. Justin stayed behind and went to Piper. He picked her up and moved her to the couch. He then gently kissed her cheek and went into the kitchen.
"Guys, I got to go," he told them
"What?"
"Dad, I forgot I am grounded. I won't be able to come over for a while," he explained.
"Oh, that sucks," Luke said.
"Well, se ya." With that Justin left.
(~)(~)
"Piper, I am home."
Piper noted he wasn't drunk. He hadn't been gone late enough.
"John, I wanted to ask you something," Piper said, making her way down the stairs.
"What sweetie?"
"I want to go back to work," she got enough corage to say.
"What?"
she nodded.
"You'll never make it. damn, you won't even be able to work at McDee's," he said, kissing her.
She wanted to reject. She was a manger and a chef and a owner of a club. She could too. but she knew it would only lead to her getting in trouble.
"You are right, I wasn't thinking," she said.
"You weren't, now go make dinner," he said. She went into the kitchen. She cried the whole time she was cooking.
"I'll leave tomorrow," she promised herself.
**She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave him everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up to her
Give a little, then take it back
She'd tell him about her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
"You're crazy for believin'
You'll ever leave the ground"
He said, "Only angels know how to fly"
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly**
