**************************************************************************** ***************
Paige went to the hospital early the next morning. She wasn't allowed to stay the night but was promised when she got back the next morning she would be able to sign Sam out since her foster parents - once Sam left - released Sam from all legal care of her. Technically meaning they didn't want her anymore and so they signed papers saying they were no longer her guardians. Once they did that there were people looking for her so she would be put either under another foster care home or with Paige but Sam had remained hidden. She was now going to Paige until someone else adopted her.
Paige and Sam had talked until visiting hours was over the last night before and Sam had expressed a major interest in getting better. Paige had also expressed a huge interest in helping her get better.
Paige told Piper and Phoebe that Sam was going to stay with them for a little while and they said they were okay with it. Paige fought the urge at the time to tell them that she wasn't asking.
Leo had set up a little cot in Paige's room for Sam so nobody would get the couch and Paige wanted to watch Sam anyways. She knew what it was like to go through drug ciggerette and alcohol withdraws. She wanted to be there for Sam so she could help her.
Paige walked into Sam's room, watching her sleep carrying the already filled out release forms. She wanted Sam to see them for herself.
Paige glanced the clock. 8:00. Slightly around 9:30 Sam stirred as she awoke.
"Paige? How long have you been here?" Sam whispered as she rubbed her eyes.
"Since about 8 or so"
Sam sat up in her bed and saw the papers by her bedside. She eyed them suspiciously.
"What are they?" She asked
Paige held them out for Sam to take in her own hands. Sam realized they were release papers saying that she was being released into Paige's care for a while. She handed them back smiling.
"Thanks Paige"
"We just have to go over some rules" Paige told her sister
"Like what?" Sam asked grabbing her clothes from the chair on the other side of the bed
"Number 1 - We're stopping by your old place to gather some of your stuff. I will be going up with you.
Number 2 - Don't run off the second you step outside the car
Number 3 - I really want to help you Sam but you have to want to stop as well. I can't force you. I know how hard it's going to be for you, I won't lie it'll hurt like a bitch and it's going to be hard but you have to trust that I'm going to be there for you. Please don't go back the second that you get a craving, fight it but don't fight the people that are trying to help you"
"I promise Paige. I'm really going to try not to screw this up!" Sam promised full heartedly
"Okay, finish getting dressed and we'll go" Paige told Sam as she waited
Once Sam was finished the two stood up and Paige had to help Sam steady herself.
"You okay?" Paige asked worried.
"Yea, I'm fine" Sam reassured her.
"Okay then"
The two walked down the long hallways before finally coming to reception desk.
"Okay, you're free to go Miss Matthews" The clerk told Sam who gave a small smiled in reply.
The two walked outside and climbed into Paige's bug.
"You all set kiddo?" Paige asked, giving Sam a new nickname
"Let's do it" Sam responded
They stopped off at Sam's old apartment and Sam explained to Ryan and a couple friends she was staying with Paige for a bit. Ryan had a problem with it saying that if she walked out the door she wasn't allowed back. Sam hesitated for a moment thinking of how Ryan had given her a place to stay for almost two years but then she remembered had he not gotten her onto drugs and smokes in the first place she wouldn't have needed a place to stay. She gave him a final kiss goodbye on the cheek and stepped outside the doorframe with Paige. They walked back to the car and drove to the Manor in silence. Paige knew Sam just needed some time to think. She was probably confused and felt like she was betraying her friends by quitting. Paige felt the same thing at one point and had a couple relapses luckily for her Glenn eventually was able to keep her safe from herself.
They arrived at the Manor and went inside where Piper, Phoebe and Leo greeted them happily. Paige gave Sam the official grand tour of all the rooms except the attic saying it was just filled with junk.
The last room they went to was Paige's room. They walked in and Sam set her stuff down and sat on her bed.
"Paige, you didn't have to do all of this you know"
Paige sat down beside her on the cot. "I wanted to" She explained smiling.
Sam looked at Paige in the eye and they hugged each other.
"PAIGE! SAM! DINNER!" Piper called up the stairs
"It's been a while since I've been called to a meal like that" Sam said sadly
"Oh sweetie come here" Sam buried her head into Paige's shoulder. "You're going to be okay. I promise. Nothing is going to happen to you anymore. I promise"
A week later -
Sam was adjusting around the house; she was still sharing a room with Paige while Leo worked on turning the sunroom into a bedroom for her since she had gotten better.
Paige told them that her cravings hit around the night and she would shake alot and be sick to her stomach but she would sit up with her and it seemed to help.
"She still looks up to you Paige" Phoebe explained "She feels safe with you"
Paige smiled "Yea. I'm just constantly worried that some couple is going to come by and say they've adopted her. Right now she's considered as in foster care. She's still up for adoption. And then there's school in a couple weeks." Paige moans "I don't know how I'm going to afford that without a job. It's tight enough around here. I need a job!" Paige rambled on "She's turning sixteen in September and then there's driving school and insurance and ugg! Everything!" Paige cried, putting her head on the table.
"Come on Paige we'll help you find a job!"
"Thanks guys" Paige agreed she got up and walked out of the room.
Piper turned to Phoebe and sighed.
The next day -
Paige had been up thinking all night while watching Sam and she finally came to a decision. She got up early the next morning and left a note for everybody saying she would probably be gone all day. Around 11 o'clock Sam had woke up and gone downstairs. She found Leo, Piper and Phoebe in the kitchen but no Paige.
"Wh - Where's Paige?" She stuttered. Sam almost felt like she was in danger whenever Paige wasn't around, not that the others scared her she just felt safer if Paige was in the house.
"We don't know exactly" Phoebe told her
"She left a note saying she'd be out for most of the day" Piper explained
Sam nodded "Oh.. cool"
Taking note of Sam's slight panic she suggested they spend the day together.
"Why don't you and I go shopping or something? School's starting up again soon we could get some new clothes for ya and get to know each other a bit more?"
"I dunno, I don't want you guys to spend money on me or anything. I'd feel kinda weird"
"If you're Paige's sister you're our sister" Phoebe told her, hoping to break the ice. She couldn't join in on the shopping since she had to work but since they had the opportunity Sam and Piper should use it to know each other more.
Sam couldn't think of anything to say so she agreed to it.
"Sure why not?" She gave a weak smile
"Okay then! Well I have to go to work so bye guys!" Phoebe jumped up and left the Manor.
"I should get back to work on the sunroom" Leo said, getting up and leaving as well.
"I'll just go get ready and everything" Sam said nervously
"Okay, tell me when you're ready!"
Sam didn't go back downstairs for another forty-five minutes. Piper knew she was just buying time and that she was ready. Finally she hit the bottom of the stairs wearing her famous leather jacket, her hair streaked purple with temporary hair dye and a midriff top that revealed a sun tattoo right over her belly button that was pierced.
"Please don't tell Paige" Sam said nervously
"Whoa!" was Piper's reply but in a nice way. "I like that tattoo!"
Sam smiled a bit "Thanks! I got it for free since the guy was my boyfriend's brother's best friend" She explained
"Cool! You ready to go?"
Sam hesitated for a moment. "Uh yea, sure"
"Leo, we're leaving!" Piper called
"OUCH!" was the reply she received meaning that he had been doing something and Piper startled him
Piper and Sam walked out of the Manor but before they got very far a darklighter came out of nowhere hitting Sam in the stomach with an arrow. Piper tried to blow him up but he popped out before she could. She fall to her knees beside Sam who had went unconscious.
"Ohmigod! Leo! LEO!" She cried to the sky
Leo orbed into the driveway upon hearing the calls.
"A darklighter shot her, he got away get her inside!"
Without delay Leo touched Sam's shoulder and they orbed inside. Piper took out her cell phone while running back into the house and called Paige.
Meanwhile -
"Mr. Cowan?"
"Paige! You're the one person I didn't expect to see for a while or even ever again"
"Look, I left my job to find myself and I have and now I need a job to help support me and my family. I'm willing to work as a assistant again or even as a mail girl! Just whatever! I need a job! Please" She pleaded
"Paige, I like you and you've brought alot to this office before. So I'm giving you back your old job!"
"As your assistant!" Paige exclaimed, happy she didn't have to work her way back up
"No, as a social worker. I promoted you before you left and it's been waiting for you Paige!" He smiled
"Oh my! Thank-You so much! When do I start?"
"Today's Friday? How about Monday morning?"
"PERFECT! THANK-YOU SO MUCH!"
Just then her cell phone went off.
"Thanks again Mr. Cowan!" with that she left and answered her cell phone
"Hello?"
"Paige! It's Piper!" Her voice was frantic
"Piper? What is it! is Sam okay?!"
"Paige just get home!" Piper demanded, next she called Phoebe whose conversation went almost the same way except Phoebe asked if Paige was hurt not Sam.
Moments later Paige orbed into the kitchen and ran into the living room who saw a arrow buried into Sam's unconscious body.
"What the hell happened?" She demanded
"I was taking her out for shopping and a darklighter popped in and shot her. He got away before I could blow him up, he must've thought she had some whitelighter in her because she's your sister. She wouldn't have known she's not blood related. We have to wait for Phoebe to come home so she can take out the arrow. I have the baby inside me, you're half whitelighter and Leo is one!"
Paige's throat went dry as she remembered something.
"Paige?"
"Sam may have whitelighter blood in her" She admitted, as she found the words to speak "it never clicked with me before but I remember"
"Paige? what do you mean Sam might have whitelighter blood in her too?" Leo demanded
"That time she was in the hospital she needed a blood transfusion and it turned out we had the same blood type. B Negative. So we had a transfusion since they didn't have alot of time to look for some. Guys, Sam might be magical!"
