Phoebe's Soccer Team
Chapter 6: "Confessions"
It was early morning, Piper went to the kitchen to make some coffee,..she had already been in Phoebe's room and saw she was sleeping peacefully. She sat at the table and waited for Prue to come down and join her. She was worried about her sister, "how could she do a thing like that"-asked Piper to herself----Why?...why?-----
Morning!..---said Prue as she kissed her sister's forehead---- Sleep well? Is the coffee ready? ----Asked Prue without expecting to hear an answer to her questions; She grabbed a cup, poured some hot fresh coffee, and sat down next to Piper; ---"So, what do you think about last night?"--- Asked Prue staring at her cup--
"I couldn't sleep at all; how about you? ----Asked Piper yawning-----
"Same" ----said Prue without getting her eyes away from the cup---- They sat there for a while, without saying any words, they both felt guilty. They thought that it was their fault that her sister was on drugs. "What are we going to do Prue?" ---asked Piper putting her hands on her head and stroking her hair back -
"I am not sure, but we'll sure think of something, I was thinking that.maybe.. She, um. she ---- They both stood up hastily when they heard a loud noise coming from upstairs, followed by a painful scream, --- "Phoebe"! --- They both shouted at the same time and ran upstairs. Prue was the first one to get to Phoebe's room, she quickly opened the door and found Phoebe on the floor.
"Oh honey, what happened" ----asked Prue kneeling down beside Phoebe-----
"How is she"---- asked Piper nervously as she entered the room----
"Where the hell were you? ----Asked Prue worried----
"Right behind you! It's just that you run too fast! ---Answered Piper trying to pick Phoebe up-----
Hey, easy there! ---Said Phoebe as she hanged on her sister's shoulder.---- "It's ok, sweetie, I've got you" ---They gently placed Phoebe on her bed and sat down beside her. Prue pulled the blanket and placed it over Phoebe ---You're too cold baby, what were you doing up?, Do you need something? Are you hungry? Are you in some sort of pain? What, what is it?
"Prue! ----- Interrupted Piper---- I think you should let her speak.
I'm ccold, P..rue! And I'm really in pain--- mumbled Phoebe ---- I wanted to go to the bathroom but I couldn't walk, my legs just didn't respond----
"It's ok, sweetie, ..It's ok; we'll take care, just rest. ----Said Piper kissing her sister's forehead---
"It must be because of the drugs from last night" -Said Prue- "I'll get you another blanket"
"Thanks Prue" -----replied Phoebe tightening her teeth ----
"Phoebe, you realize now that we have to talk about what happened yesterday; don't you? ---Asked Piper looking straight to her sister's eyes- --
Yeah, I know, just give me some time here to straighten my thoughts, my head is a real mess right now ---said Phoebe shivering---
Good, take your time sweetie, in the meantime let me get you some hot oatmeal, you'll feel a lot better after you've eaten something. ---Said Piper as she walked outside the bedroom----
Do you want me to stay? ---Asked Prue as she placed another blanket over Phoebe----
It's ok if you want to stay, I sure need some company right now---said Phoebe closing her eyes and reaching out to touch her sister's hand---- "Sweetie, you know I can't help you if you don't tell me what's going on, what's bothering you, -----said Prue bending down to hug her sister---
"I can't Prue, I just can't.. answered Phoebe turning her face away from Prue and crying-----
"Why, honey?, you know you can trust me, You know I'm always here for you, so just let it all out, let us help you,----said Prue as she also let some tears run down her cheeks-----
Phoebe was still facing the window, she knew she had to tell her sisters what was happening to her, but she was too afraid of what might happen after, she wiped her tears away and Shouted: ----- "Please leave Prue. Leave me alone; I can't talk to you right now, not yet anyway." --Said Phoebe without even facing her sister. She just pulled the covers over her head and started crying.
"Ok, but you're going to talk to us eventually" --Prue walked out the door, she was sad and she was still feeling guilty, but she also knew that her sister would come around, she always had.
Piper finished preparing Phoebe's breakfast and took it to her sister, but when opened the door she found Phoebe sleeping. "Oh no you're not young lady, wake up, you have to eat something".
"Lave me alone Piper, please, I'm not hungry-----said Phoebe sounding upset- --
"No, no, no, I'm not going anywhere until you have your breakfast----said Piper as she placed the tray on Phoebe's bed----
"I said please leave! Damn it, why don't you just leave me alone? ."Butt Off" ---Shouted Phoebe as she grabbed the food tray and threw it against the wall-
Piper was startled by her sister's reaction and just didn't know how to react. Prue came running and was also surprised of what she saw.
"Get out, get out!, both of you, just leave me alone!----shouted Phoebe crying----
"Come on" ----Prue grabbed Piper's arm and pulled her out of the bedroom. "She'll be ok, she just needs some thinking space. ----Said Prue trying to comfort Piper, who by that time was crying uncontrollably-----
Piper and Prue were sitting on the living room's sofa, Prue was reading a book, trying hard to concentrate, because Piper had the remote control "attached" to her right hand, pressing the channel button, jumping from one channel to another; she was staring at the TV but without really watching it.
"Stop it, stop it, stop it!---said Prue, grabbing the remote from Piper's hand. ---You're driving me nuts!
"What if she decides not to talk to us, Prue? ----Asked Piper with her usual sweet tone of voice----- "And what if I do decide to talk to you" -------Said Phoebe coming down the stairs-------
"Phoebe"!! --- Prue and Piper shouted surprised-----
Ok, I know I have a lot of explaining to do, but promise you wont get angry, and Promise you wont do anything unless I ask you to. --- said Phoebe trying hard to walk down the stairs----
Sure, honey, anything you say;... here, grab my arm,----said Prue taking the crutches away from Phoebe-----
Careful, Prue! ------Yelled Piper as she also got up and went to her sister's side to help.
"Thanks, both of you, ---said Phoebe resting on the sofa---- Well, it's really no big deal, I mean, there's this girl in school who's making my life a little bit complicated, you see...I like this guy, and she also likes the same guy, .and, you know how things really are when everybody likes the same boy, don't you?
"Yeah, we do -------said Prue not quite believing her young sister-----
But what does it have to do with you being drugged last night? -------- Asked Piper still feeling worried------
Oh, oh, that.., well, you see, ... You don't have to be worried about this, it was that someone offered me something for my knee pain, but I think it was way too strong for me.--- Laughed Phoebe----
Yeah, sure, you were injected Phoebe, and this is so not funny!----yelled Prue obviously upset-- I still think you're hiding something,---
No, honestly, I'm not ---said Phoebe sounding reassuring--- really, it was a painkiller.
So, why were you so nervous a while ago? Why were you crying? I still think something's missing here ---said Prue getting up from the sofa and walking towards the window---- "A pain killer. my ass!" Who gave it to you? I want to know.
Well, I think you're right ---sighed Phoebe feeling busted-
Prue immediately turned around to face Phoebe and opened her eyes widely, -- -So you are not denying it!----- asked Prue annoyed.-
No, I was crying because Tina, the girl in my soccer team, the one who fell on me, remember her?---- well that's the girl...
"So you mean that she threw you to the ground on purpose? " ----asked Piper sounding very disturbed ----
Yes,.but you promised not to do anything, you promised! ..Prue? ----- Shouted Phoebe trying to get response from her Oldest sister-----
Yes, I know I promised, but you have to let me talk to her, she has to know that she just can go around hurting people like that; you were real hurt Phoebe! "maybe if I talk to the Principal"----asked Prue---
No, no,! I know you mean well, but I don't want you to get involved in this, let me try to work things out by myself, please Prue, you promised!--- -said Phoebe crying.-
That's ok, sweetie, ---said Piper kissing her sister's head---- don't cry, we won't talk to her, or to the Principal, we'll let you do it, but make sure she gets the message well, or we're going to have a real serious talk with her"
Thank you guys ----said Phoebe wiping away her tears and hoping they didn't go back asking about the "painkiller"
Prue just stared at her sister, she was obviously still very suspicious, but didn't say anything; she just grabbed her sister's hand and kissed it. ----"I'll have a little chat with that Tina girl, just a little one, ---she thought.----
Five days later, Phoebe was back at school. She was feeling a lot better. She was now walking around without her crutches, but deep inside she was still feeling nervous, afraid of what the "friendly girls" from school might do to her. -"Well, I'll just have to be careful, and try hard not to hang on by myself.---she thought- "And about Tina,..Oh that bitch,, I just hope to get some time with her alone so I can kick her ass.----Phoebe kept thinking as she walked, slowly, through the school's corridors.
Prue asked Piper to pick up Phoebe after school. She told her that she wanted to have a talk with Tina after football practice, and she didn't want Phoebe to find out about it. Prue waited in her car for one more hour after almost all Phoebe's teammates left, but Tina was still on the field. Prue got tired of waiting and decided to go and find Tina. She found her, drinking beer and smoking pot in the company of her friends, Julia, Jane and some other girls that Prue didn't know. "What do you want?"----- Asked Julia looking straight to Prue's eyes----
"Nothing! At least not from you, anyway ----answered Prue without showing any kind of fear---- I've come to talk to "this" whatever you want to call her!---said Prue pointing her finger at Tina----
Everybody laughed, except Tina, she stood up to face Prue but she was suddenly thrown back into her seat.--- "What the hell do you want Halliwell? Asked Tina Trying again to get up----
"You know very well why Am I here for, don't you play dumb with me---Said Prue grabbing her from the neck----
"Let her go!---- said Julia trying to pull Prue's hand away from her friend- ---
"You better stay out of this! ----Said Prue pushing away Julia's hand---- If you know what's good for you, keep your butt out! ---yelled Prue--- "Hey, Halliwell, in case you didn't notice, there are 7 girls in here that can wipe your ass before you even blink, so do yourself a favor and walk away now that you still can ---- Said Julia laughing-----
"In your dreams!---said Prue grabbing Tina from her hair and pulling her away from the crowd----Everybody got up from the floor, where they were sitting, and followed Prue---
"Go back! ----Ordered Prue grabbing a knife from her pocket and placing it against Tina's throat---
"Easy now, Halliwell, you don't really want to do this. ---Said Julia smiling----
"The hell I don't"!, Try me! ------Said Prue rhetorically-----
All the girls went back to their seats and waited to see what was going to happen next.
As for you, bitch! ---Said Prue backing up Tina against the wall, ----If you ever lay a finger on my sister again, I will personally break each and every bone of your damned body. "Do you understand what I'm saying? --- Asked Prue striking Tina across the face----
"I don't know what are you talking about ----answered Tina fearfully-----
"Don't lie to me, you dirty slime ---shouted Prue striking her again, but this time on the ribs---- All the girls just watched without being able to do anything, they wanted to beat Prue so badly, but fortunately, they couldn't, perhaps they were too afraid to even try.
I know very well what you've been doing to my sister, and guess what? ... I don't like it, I don't like it at all!, so if I find out that you are bothering her again, or if you just look at her, ..I'll beat the shit out of you!, . now, do you understand or do you want me to repeat it? ----Prue stroke Tina's face again, but this time her eyebrow started to bleed---
"No!..I understand, just let me go, please, ---begged Tina crying---she was really scared because Prue's knife was slightly starting to cut her throat. She just wanted to be left alone.
And that goes for you too! ----Said Prue glancing at the other girls---- "Nobody made a sound.
Prue pushed Tina against the wall and saw her slide slowly to the ground. She kicked her knee and walked away--- "now you know"! shouted Prue without looking back. "Nobody hurts my sisters, no one"! ----Whispered Prue ----
Where were you Prue ? ---Asked Phoebe while drinking a big, tall glass of milk in the TV room----
Just taking care of some errands ----Answered Prue smiling and kissing her sister's forehead----
Piper glanced at Prue's eyes and she immediately knew that everything was taken care of. She felt relieved.
What they didn't know is that Julia, Jane and Tina were getting ready to pay a little visit to Phoebe that same night.....
