EvilPiper421, piper13, Daisy, line, hyperpiper91, kangaroo, Lilie, piperperson, and CharmingTess- thank you all for reviewing. I hope your question gets answered. Truly I do. I aint one of those evil people. Oh wait... hehe.

**Where I used to have a heart

Feels like a mile wide ditch

I got a hole inside

The doctor just can't stitch

Gone without a trace

You left a hollow place

There's not a stone to mark

Where I used to have a heart

There were times when I would hold you

And feel the pounding in my chest

Now I'm just as empty

As a canyon way out west

That's how deep I loved you

And babe, I love you still

To the bottom of this place I'll never fill**

Prue was here? She came. She slowly opened her eyes where the sun wouldn't totally kill them.

"... Has been going on for some time. The doctor said one day the body just let go."

"Oh... I am... Dan, thank you."

"Mom?"

Damn it, Luke was here.

"Piper?" Dan walked over to her right side.

"Is... Prue here?"

"Yes honey, I am right here."

"You... they said..."

"She was told you were dead."

"Wait! That means... are you Prue, as in my Aunt?"

"Piper I will explain everything. Dan, can you give us time?"

"Yeah," he said, shuffling Justin and Luke to the door.

Piper couldn't believe Prue came. Why after all these years just now show up?

"Piper, this is hard to explain. Um... after you moved out, they told us that you had died too. When Paige was given your case at her job that is when we realized everything. But... we couldn't help you... because if the Elders found out..."

Piper processed everything slowly. Why would the Elders... who is Paige?

"Prue... who is Paige?"

"Um... she is..."

"Here. I am sorry it took me so long. Oh my..."

"Piper, after you left, we met Paige. She is a whitelighter, and a witch."

"But that is forbidden."

"But... Mum... her and Sam... Paige is our sister."

Paige walked up to Piper.

"I got the spell."

"What spell?" Piper asked.

"Well, it will erase everyone's memory of you being here," Prue explained.

"You can't... you can't come in here after all these years... say 'Oh yeah, you got a sister," cough "then except me to completely forgive you and forget Dan again."

"Piper..."

"Don't Piper me! Get out!"

"Piper... please..."

"No, not now..."

Prue and Paige walked out, defeated.

As they walked pasted the waiting room, Dan stopped them.

"You know Prue, you got guts. Coming here I mean. She has been her at least 2 weeks and you guys have known about it from the start! She thought you were dead, and you know, it would have been easier if you would have kept it that way!"

"Dan... it is something... something you will understand soon."

"Prue..."

"Dan... not now..." Dan looked at her one last time and then went back to the room with the boys following him.

"Dad, I am going to get a pop, I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay."

Justin walked quickly down the halls to check up with Paige. He saw her getting into a car and he yelled at her.

"Paige... wait up."

She turned around and waited for him.

"I am Justin... Dan's son."

"Yeah."

"You are Piper's social worker, right?"

"Well, yes."

"Um... I don't know how to say this, but... um... you know Luke?"

"Um... her son?"

"Yeah. He... he is also... when I was at his house, he also hits her. He did it in front of all... in front of us."

"What? Are you sure?" Paige asked.

"Um... yeah, I just... he is a friend..."

"You didn't want to turn in a friend," Paige said, walking up to him.

"Yeah...I guess."

"Um... Justin, can I ask you to come with me?"

"Yeah, but I need... no, he'll figure I am gone," Justin said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah," Justin said, looking at the hospital again.

"Okay."

Justin and Paige got into the car and drove off to the station. As they were stopped at a sign, Paige called Prue and Justin listened in carefully.

"Prue, its Paige." Pause. "Yeah, I know you need to get to work but on my way to the car, a Dan's son... Justin... stopped me. Prue, it wasn't just her husband, her son abused her too." Another long pause. "Yeah, I am taking him there and then I will orb... drive back." Quick Pause. "See ya."

"Why did you tell Prue?" Justin asked.

"She is her sister."

"You two seem close, you and Prue, are you friends?"

"Um... in a way, yeah," Paige said, wondering if she should tell.

"Hmm... it is just you guys look and act more like sisters. A lot like my cousins."

"Um... we are."

"Then why are you posing as Piper's social worker?"

"I am. I never met Piper before, until Prue connected the dots."

"You know, Piper doesn't deserve any of this."

"Yeah, but we will get those jerks."

"No! I mean you guys. Prue and Phoebe, I have listened to my dad. She was in the hospital, she thought you were dead! I can't believe you didn't even tell her you were okay," Justin said flatly. After a long pause Paige pulled up to a building and parked her lime green buggy.

"Okay, now when we go in, you need to tell the detective everything you told me. Okay?" Paige said, as if talking to a child.

"Yeah... sure whatever."

As they walked in the station, Paige had Justin wait by the couch, and she went over to talk to some guy. The only thing Justin caught was 'You guys have a screwed up family,' and 'What!' which caught everyone's attention. When Paige walked over to Justin, she told him who to talk to and to stay here, that she would be back in a few.

Justin made his way over to the officer and he led them in a back room.

"My name is Darryl Morris, um... you are..."

"Justin."

"Okay, Paige said you wanted to tell me something."

"Um... when I was at the Moore's, Luke had beaten on Piper too."

"What happened exactly? Like from the first?"

"Um... one of the guys... Mark, he got kicked out of school for some reason. Luke told him he knew a way to get rid of the pain. I figured it was some type of drug his father got him and decided to join. We went to Luke's house, inside it I mean. Luke rarely lets us go inside. I remember Tim making a comment on how hot he thought Piper was. We grabbed a beer and went into his room."

"Wait. You grabbed a beer? You know that is illegal?"

"Yes, but... I am no angel," Justin said.

"Okay..." Darryl said, eyeing Justin.

"Well, after the beer, we went down stairs. He, Luke, yelled for his mom, and she slowly came down the stairs, it was easy to see she was in pain. He the just started punching her. He kept punching her, he is 14 and Piper is like 30 but she let him punch her, and kick. He kept saying it was her fault that he lived like this," Justin said, about to break down. "Then Mark joined in. After that Tim took his turn. He... forced her to kiss him... and then he started to call her a slut. After that, the asked if I wanted to and... I told them no. I looked in to her eyes... she was so hurt, so... I couldn't believe they left as if nothing happened," Just said.

"Was that the only time it happened?" Morris asked.

"Um... no. The next day, Mark didn't come since we went right after school. Luke hit her a few times and then Tim. When they went in the kitchen, I went over to her. She was not out and not breathing well. I picked her up gently, and moved her to the couch. I put a pillow down and then softly kissed her on the cheek. I made up an excuse to leave and left," Justin said. "It was the last time I saw her until the hospital. I was the one that told my dad."

"Thank you Justin. I am going to send people into get Justin now. But I will also need the names of Mark and Tim for being a part in this."

*^*^*^Piper's PoV*^*^*^*^*

I looked at her surroundings. My only son had been taken away. I think I finally realize that it wasn't my fault. There are still times that I blame myself, but they a fewer than before. I know Justin saved me, and he was my angel, like his dad had been before. These people, ones I don't know, keep telling me that it isn't my fault, and I never deserved what John did, but I keep thinking, in a way, I do.

"Piper." It was Prue.

"What?" I asked annoyed.

"Honey, you don't have to worry about Luke hitting you know more."

"I know, but I still miss him," I said.

"Piper, I am really sorry about all of this. If it helps you, we found out from our whitelighter that it is the Elders doing."

"The Elders are scum."

"Piper."

"Yes?"

"When you get better, you will live with us, right?"

"I don't know." It was all too confusing. Prue had come back and she was still great, but in my heart, there was something that blamed them to. I don't know I am just not ready.

A/N- hope you all like it. Please review. PS- this is my first without a surprise and/or cliffhanger at the end for a while now! YAY me! Well PLZ review!
