Prue opens her eyes and turnsover in her bed and looks at her
clock. It read 4:50.
It's still so early. Prue thought. Prue and Grams had been in the hospital with Piper that night until 1:30. Then the doctors said that Grams could take Piper home. So they came home and went to bed. Only Prue couldn't get to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes she saw the image of Piper collapsed on her bedroom floor. A dark figure embraced Prue's doorway.
"Who's that?" Prue asks.
"It's just me Prue," Piper says. Prue sits up in her bed and turns on the light that's on the nightstand next to her bed.
"What are you doing up?" Prue asks.
"I couldn't sleep," Piper responds.
"Yeah me neither. Piper come here for a minute," Prue says patting a spot on her bed for Piper to come sit. So Piper went and sat on Prue's bed. Prue looks Piper dead in her eyes.
"Piper be honest with me. What aren't you eating?" Prue asks. Piper looks down. "Please Piper. I think this family at least deserves an explanation."
Piper looks back up at Prue.
"Because I'm fat," Piper says.
"Piper you're not fat," Prue says. Piper puts up a hand as if telling Prue to hush.
"You asked for an explanation. So please let me finish," Piper says.
"I'm sorry," Prue says.
"I'm fat in my eyes. When I look in the mirror I don't see what you all see. I see a fat, ugly flat chested, four eyed nerd," Piper explains.
"But Piper-" Prue stops in her sentence when Piper gives her this "What did I just say" look.
"Continue," Prue says.
"And I thought if I was skinny I would be a little bit more attractive. That is if these braces ever come off and this acne ever goes away," Piper says. Prue and Piper just stare at each other for a moment.
"Well I'm going back to bed," Piper says as she gets up off Prue's bed and leaves her room. Prue lays back down in her bed.
"What am I going to do?" Prue asks herself.
I know it's short. I'll post a longer chapter next.
