Tears before a confession (just before the talk: part 2)

Author's note:

I know, I'm evil, I just haven't found time to write the chapter where Phoebe had "the conversation" with her sisters. I already have it on paper but I need to write it on my computer first so.sorry it took me so long to update but things have been crazy around my house. Besides, I don't like to write when we have guest in the house; it's a little embarrassing for me to say that I write fan fictions on my free time. I anybody could convince me that writing in my free time when I'm only 13 years old is not weird, that'd be great! Thanks for reading! I'm not gonna update 'till I get unless 5 more reviews.

.now on with the story:

"Phoebe" Prue started. She paused before continuing, not sure of what to say seeing her sister's condition. "We just wanted to talk to you. I know things have been a little tense around the house the last couple of days since.since you.came back to us." Prue stopped to see her sister's reaction; nothing. She looked at Prue distant on her own thoughts. Prue decided to keep going. "Look, we don't know for sure what happened with Ikarias."

"But whatever it was.you can tell us" Piper finished Prue's sentence. She reached out for Phoebe and put her hand on Phoebe's back trying to get her to open up once and for all. Phoebe was so tense that her body actually hurt.

Both Piper and Prue looked at Phoebe expecting a response, or unless to hear something from Phoebe. But they didn't. Phoebe looked at them in the eyes with obvious pain and shame showing on her face, but also something else, misunderstanding.

Phoebe looked at them both in despise. She didn't want to talk about it and she thought she had made that clear to her sisters. 'Maybe they don't understand me as much as I thought' Phoebe thought to herself in anger. If they couldn't take a hint about what she wanted then how could she ever talk to them? 'They wouldn't understand me' she thought.

She felt angry. She hated this; Prue and Piper used to be able to read her like a book, especially Piper, used to know her inside out. But now when she needed them the most, when she needed their understanding and support, they couldn't support her.

"I really don't want to talk right now" Phoebe said in a harsh tone. She stud up and went over to the window trying to avoid eye contact.

Prue and Piper stud up in concern for their sister. She was crankier than ever for absolutely no reason; she looked pale and tired.not like the usual Phoebe.

Prue stared at Piper with a panic face. Prue could see something else on Phoebe. She was definitely hiding something from them, beside the whole deal with Ikarias; she was acting very strange. Prue pushed that thought away in order to concentrate in talking to Phoebe, or rather making Phoebe talk. They knew that whatever it was he did to her it had to be big, otherwise she would have just told them. They had a pretty good idea of what it was but they wanted to hear it from Phoebe's mouth first before jumping into conclusions.

"Phoebe.look, we're only trying to help you but we can't if you don't let us" Seeing that Phoebe didn't react at this comment Piper continued talking. "Seeing you like this is killing us, don't you see that? Especially when we know we can help. You don't have to tell us right away but we want you to know that you can talk to us always. Ok?"

Phoebe. After hearing Piper's "speech", couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't stop the tears that were now rolling down her face. Remembering all the pain, all the shame, the way he had humiliated her. She still wasn't sure if she wanted to tell her sisters but she knew they were right. 'Maybe they CAN help me' she thought between sniffs.

Prue heard her sister's sniffs and then noticed that Phoebe's whole body was now shacking. Prue, seeing her sister cry, immediately went over to her and pulled Phoebe into a big, tight hug from behind.

Piper was a little scared. Seeing Phoebe in such a bad shape broke her heart, but she also knew that Phoebe only cried when she couldn't take it anymore.

For Prue's surprise Phoebe didn't try to pull away, but she didn't exactly hug her back either. Even thought a minute ago she was totally furious with her sisters now all she wanted was to cry on their arms.

Piper went over to her sisters and hugged Phoebe from the other side. Phoebe cried for hours in her sister's arms. She let it all out, letting Prue comfort as much as she wanted to.
