A.N. Thanks for all the kind reviews. Really appreciate it. : ) Wow I got 9 chapters and I haven't even abandoned it yet. ::knocks on wood:: Must be a record for my Charmed writing. Hehe.

A.N.2. Anyways after this chapter I might be able to update quickly but school for me starts August 25 so after Prue I don't know how quickly I'm going to be able to update. I doubt the first week since they screwed up my schedule so I'm probably going to be stuck in the office for half the day so I might be able to write some stuff down then. They mail us our schedules and they didn't give me a homeroom or first hour class so I don't know. :: sigh ::

A.N. Sorry for long time in between updates. I've been busy lately.

Disclaimer: Why do I have to post this? We all know no one here owns any of Charmed so let's move on shall we?

Chapter 8-Piper's Realization

Ugh. Phoebe is such an arrogant, selfish, b...never mind. I don't want to go into it. You'll see what happens.

~*~*~

I was trying to keep my cool but I just started to feel angry. I didn't want her to know I was upset but I was.

"Umm...Piper. Honey."

Great. She wants to get out of this with sweet talk. What does she think I am? 3 years old?

"Don't honey me Phoebe. How could you?"

"Well see the shirt.."

"The shirt. I don't care about the fucking shirt."

I didn't care about the shirt. It was the principle. I mean all those years and she still doesn't seem sorry. I watched her get up and go over to the dresser. I clutched my fists in hope I wouldn't do anything physical.

"Then why are you yelling at me if you don't care about the shirt. If you don't care then let it go."

What..a..BITCH. I felt like smacking her but it wasn't my style. I don't stoop to her level of cat fights.

"Let it go? Let It Go? Damn it Phoebe it's not about the shirt."

She spun around to face me. By the point my face was probably contorted and scary as hell. I could confirm that by the glimpse of fear I caught in her eyes.

"Then what the hell is it about? Can't we talk about it later? I have a really bad hangover and the screaming isn't helping."

See everyone. Self centered as ever or maybe just dumb.

"Oh well. I wouldn't want to hurt Princess Phoebe would I? Let me tell you something. The world doesn't revolve around you. You are not the center of this fucking universe. And I'm not upset about the shirt. It's the principle of the matter. All my life you have been borrowing my stuff without asking, breaking it, ruining it, letting others borrow it and I never see it again. This is the last straw and I will never forgive you Phoebe. Never!"

"Piper. It's okay. I forgive you for yelling at me but..."

Oh, I know she did not just say that.

"You forgive me? You Forgive ME? Why the hell should you forgive me? I never said I was sorry for anything. Damn it. Are you that self-centered? Are so freeking blind that you are the only one who has problems?"

"Well do you know what happened to me last night?"

UGH!

"No Phoebe and I DON'T CARE. God, you really are so fucking selfish that you can't see what I'm going through huh?"

She looked like she just came through with a revelation. Bout time.

"Well, we can talk about it."

And why would I want to talk to you now?

"No, I don't want to talk anymore. Every time I try to talk about it you always find something in it to turn the conversion into one of your shitty crying sessions. Well, you know what? I've had it. I never, ever want to speak to you again. Ever!"

Oh, great. She's gonna cry. Always the one to play the sympathy card. I would have cared and want to calm her down before the water started to leak but I didn't have the patience or appeal to do so.

I heard Grams scream from the hall. Phoebe and I ran out into the hallway. When I saw Prue I gasped.

"Piper, Phoebe. Go get some water and cloth."

I nodded and almost ran into Phoebe trying to turn. Even in a crisis she's always in the way.

I grabbed some washcloths out of the bathroom closet and ran back to Grams and knelt down by Prue.

"Come on Prue. Please wake up. You have to wake up."

I watched Grams dab the damp cloth on Prue and watched her mutter something but I wasn't paying attention. All I could think about was Prue and hoping and praying she was going to be alright. She had to be. My hands flew to my mouth when I saw Prue's eyes flutter open.

"Oh Prue thank god."

I grabbed her into a hug and wasn't concerned when she was talking to Phoebe. All I cared about was that she was okay and safe. I helped her up and back to her room.

I sat her down on her bed where I sat down too.

"Prue, sweetie. What happened?"

Prue crawled under her covers and lay there with her eyes wide open.

"I don't know. I felt dizzy and I guess I passed out or fainted or something."

I hope she isn't sick.

"Are you sure you're okay? Maybe you should go to a doctor."

I watched her continue to stare at the ceiling and shake her head.

"No, I'm probably fine. I just have a really bad hangover and my abdomein is a little sore."

"Why would your abdomen be sore? Oh my god, you didn't?"

Prue sat up.

"Well, actually, I'm not sure. I remember bits and pieces. I think I was drunk."

I sighed. She was always getting herself in messes. I hope this one doesn't come back to haunt her.

"Prue, I really hope you used protection."

Prue's eyes widen. "I...I don't know. I don't think we did. I mean, I didn't see him put it on but I mean what could happen, right? We only did it once. I think."

Ohmigod. I can't believe she was so irresponsible. She's the oldest. She isn't supposed to do this.

"Prue, I really hope you..."

"Piper, can we please not talk about this now."

I nodded, not knowing what else to do.

"So what was going on with you and Phoebe.? I heard yelling and came to check."

My anger started to rise again.

"She borrowed my favorite shirt ad got it all muddy and she didn't even seemed fazed that it wasn't the shirt. It was that she has always borrowed my stuff and never once said sorry and actually meant it. This was the last straw, I couldn't take it anymore."

"Yeah, well Piper. She's had it coming for a while. Tell me one thing. Did you curse her out?"

"Well, yeah."

I hadn't meant to start cursing her out like that but my anger got the best of me. I didn't even notice at the time.

"Wow. Go, Piper. What did she do?"

"Nothing really. She didn't seemed too fazed which is okay. I'm never going to talk to her again though."

"Piper, me and Phoebe get into these kind of fights all the time. You'll forgive her in time."

"No, Prue. I can't forgive her this time. I always forgive her. Can't I not forgive her for just once? Can't I be some what pissed?"

"Oh course you can Piper. All I'm saying is that just give it all time. You'll forgive her one day. It isn't healthy to shut out a person for too long. But one thing is that you shouldn't have kept everything in for so long. When she does something that bothers you, tell her. I do."

I snickered. "Doesn't do anything does it? She still does it over and over again. She acts like she can just walk all over me, us. Like she can get away with it all because we're her sisters. Well I'm not going to let her. I'm never going to give her that kind of opportunity again."

I stormed out the room and towards my room. I walked in and saw Phoebe turned against the wall, hopefully she had dozed off. I reached onto the dresser where I had left them the tranquilizers from the night before. I opened the bottle and popped one into my mouth and felt it take effect almost immediately. At that time I came to the realization that maybe I am on my own. I didn't need Phoebe or Prue like I thought I did. I Took the bottle and placed it in my keepsakes box where I kept everything I didn't want anyone to know about or touch.

At that point I didn't care about anything so I decided to sneak out and take a walk. There I saw some guy sitting on the manor steps. I walked up to him in long steps. Well, long for me. I'm short, 5'3 to be exact.I lightly touched him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, can I help you?"

He turned to face me. I looked at him in awe. It was like I knew him from somewhere. He had sandy blonde hair and light eyes. He didn't look more than 16 or 17 years old.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just needed a place to rest that's all."

I nodded. "Oh, okay. That's fine. I was just wondering if you were looking or waiting for one of my sisters."

He shook his head. "No. I'm Leo."

He extended his hand to me and I took it. "I'm Piper."

"Well, Piper. It's nice to meet you. I just moved in next door."

I took my hand back and laid it to my side. "Oh, well. It's nice to meet you. I hope you like it here. Are you in high school?"

"Yes, next year I'm going to be going to the 11th grade at Baker High."

I smiled.

He's gonna be at my school next year and maybe in some of my classes.

"Really? Me too. Are you going to go to Baker this last week?"

I watched him smile and my heart melted. I went to push up my glasses but they weren't there. I couldn't figure out how I could see without them.

"No, I haven't even registered yet. My old school got out yesterday so I don't have to worry about anything till next year."

"Really? I wish we got out already but you know. School sucks so why bother even complaining."

He gave a chuckle and I looked to the ground smiling.

"So I heard the door slam pretty hard a minute ago. Are you upset about something?"

Wow. Someone actually cares about me.

"No, I'm fine now. Just petty sister stuff."

"Oh, yeah. Siblings can be a pain."

I heard someone yelling and he turned towards the house where the mover truck was parked. "I have to go. I'll see you around. If you wanna hang out or something I'll always be next door."

He flashed me a smile as I waved bye and ran to the house.

Maybe my life is picking up after all.

~*~*~

He would be my savior, my angel in disguise. I still felt a little down but that encounter sure picked up my day.
