Sam cautiously opened the diary again and turned to the next entry, it was written about a week later.

'Dear Diary,

It's been almost a week since my 16th birthday. Grams knows what happened, I know she knows. Yesterday she asked me to cook dinner for Phoebe and Prue and I tried to make the easiest thing I could find. I love cooking, I really do but ever since Saturday everything that I've ever liked... just.. anything and everything has made me nauseas at the thought of it. I was halfway done pouring the noodles from the Kraft Dinner box into the pot when I was about to be sick to my stomach. I ran to the backdoor of the kitchen and I couldn't help it. Then Grams came in. Apparently she had gotten halfway to where she was going and realized she had forgotten something. She found me and asked what was wrong and I was forced to lie to her and tell her I thought I was getting sick. Things are bad. I know. First there was my just-another-regular-day-to-my-family birthday then there was... the.. the rape. I guess I can't be afraid to say that word anymore, I mean that's what happened.. right? I wish I could say things couldn't get any worst but I know they could. He could tell people. - I got through a week at school, every time he would see me he would grin and wink. It didn't seem like he told anyone. - Grams could find out or worse.. Prue and/or Phoebe could find out. That would be the worst thing that could happen. I love my sisters, truly I do but if they find out then they would just do that thing they do where when things get real they'll act like they care and they'll be supportive but that's only when they're here at home. God forbid if they ever even look at me in public!'

Piper was now speaking from a place to rage in a rant about her sisters. Sam turned to the next entry. She didn't know why she couldn't stop reading, she knew she shouldn't be doing and with each line she read more tears rolled down her face but she couldn't stop. The next entry was from the next day.

'Dear Diary,

It's been exactly a week since it happened. The nightmares are still daily or nightly whichever. Last night's was different though. Grams was there. Watching through his car window. She suddenly disappeared though. I don't know. I've been getting sick to my stomach every morning now. I'm really scared. He didn't use protection. I know he didn't. This all is Prue's fault. He was mad because she wouldn't sleep with him and then dumped him. I respect Prue for having her morals but this shouldn't have happened to me!'

"The astral projection spell" Sam stated quietly

'Sorry. I just threw you(the diary) at the wall and everyone came to see what was wrong. Prue started asking snottily why I was crying and to keep it down because she was listening to music to her room next door. Phoebe looked concerned though. She went under Grams arm and stood in front of them all and asked what was wrong. Prue's face faded with anger after Phoebe asked that and I guess she must've realized something really was wrong. Grams didn't ask what was wrong though. She didn't prod she just quietly told Prue and Phoebe to leave me alone and that I probably wanted to be by myself. Before leaving Phoebe picked you up and I definitely gave myself away then. My eyes went big as soon as Phoebe touched you. I swore at hey by telling her. "Phoebe give me my goddamned diary!" Phoebe's hand was shaking when she gave it to me. I still didn't get in trouble with Grams. She knows, she definitely knows and now Prue and Phoebe know something is really wrong too.'

The last two entries Sam read were the most interesting ones. They confirmed Sam's thoughts. 'Here it is Monday morning. I got sick to my stomach again. Grams opened the bathroom door on me and Prue and Phoebe saw me too. I quickly washed up and tried to brush past them saying I was still sick.

Grams stopped me and looked at Prue and Phoebe. "You're all staying home today" she told us. I stared at Grams angrily and as soon as I felt the tears welling in my eyes and stormed off to my room and slammed the door. There's no lock on my door so while I'm sitting here writing all of this my back is against my door. I can heard Grams coming up the stairs. She stopped at the top of the stairwell. She's talking to me. "Piper. Get dressed and come downstairs." She just told me, I must as well, there's no getting out of it. I'm not going to risk sneaking out like Prue or Phoebe. Not if there's a chance I'm pregnant.'

The next thing Piper had written was this:

God, It's been so long since I wrote in here. I guess there hasn't been much to write about.

"That's when Grams took the memory" Sam stated softly, nodding to herself but she turned to the next entry.

'Dear Diary,

I had the nightmares again last night. My mind is hazy about yesterday. For some reason I woke up this morning and all my previous entries in here about what happened were gone, I closed you and opened you again but then they were all there again. I'm so confused and Prue, Phoebe and Grams seemed to forget there was ever something wrong... It's better this way. I know I'm pregnant. My period is late and I've been sick every morning lately. God. I hate my life. If this whole thing, this whole ordeal. If it hadn't given me a child I think I might consider suicide but I have life growing inside of me. I know I won't be able to keep him/her but I can't kill it. I love it already."
