Chapter 2
"What the hell is wrong with my sister?" Prue demanded,
"I'd like to know the same thing, I mean when I dropped her off, sure she was angry and upset but nothing like this...nothing to do this." He said anger in her eyes, "What happened?"
"I don't know, she came in and just lost it, one minuet we were talking and the next, she was going mad like a junkie needing a fix." Jason didn't like that analogy, not one bit, he turned to Piper, giving her a look that showed anger and hurt, he screamed "Don't. You have, no idea what she has been through, is going through, you don't know your sister at all..." Before he could continue he was cut of by Prue, "I think you should calm down!" She said or almost ordered, He looked into Prue's eyes, each competing in a stair off, "Why because the almighty Prue Halliwell say so? Give me a break...you think I'm scared of you...well I'm not, I'm not one of your sisters who you can order around, shout at, belittle. I am her for one reason, because the person that I love, the only person that I care about is in that room, close to a physical and mental break down, and a big part of that has to do with you two, her family."
"Get the hell out of my house!" Prue screamed,
"What's wrong? The truth hurt? Well no, things don't work like that, I'm not going anywhere because unlike the two of you, I keep my promises and I will be here for Phoebe." Prue's anger rose, as did Jason's hate. He hated them for abandoning there sister, he hated them because they were a big part of this problem.
Nothing more was said between himself and the oldest sisters, he turned and walked out of the kitchen back into the room. Leaving two, confused and upset older sisters, As he did he saw Phoebe twisting and turning, obviously having a nightmare, Jason went over and knelt in front of her, he took her hand in his, and stroked the top of her damp head gently as beads of moisture rolled down, she was going through a bad time, but like all the others Jason would help her through.
Things stayed like this for about five minuets when suddenly Phoebe shot out of her sleep, breathless, shaking with fear she tightened her grip on Jason's hand, "H-el...Help me!" she cried, he put his hand behind her back pulling her into a loving hug, "Phoebe I'm here come on calm down." Phoebe shook her head, tears rolling uncontrollably down her face "It hurt, Jason, it hurt's so bad."
"I know but...I can't let you..." his heart broke to see her like this,
"I needed it, Jas, just a little!"
"No Phoebe, I won't give you any drugs, you have been clean for so long...I won't let you." Phoebe was shaking hysterically, he sat on the sofa, and she sat next to him resting her head on his chest, "I want it to end...I want the pain to stop."
An hour later they were sat in the same place, neither had moved Phoebe had calmed down a little, although still craving, she had managed to reduce the shaking. It was then that the oldest sister walked in from where she and Piper had been sat in the kitchen. She saw Phoebe been held by Jason and her head on his chest, as Prue stood there she wondered if she had the right anymore, she practically abandoned her, did she even have the right to stand here and ask such a thing?
"Can we talk?" Prue asked uncertain, Phoebe looked at her, "Talk?" Phoebe's hand began to shake and she started to stutter as she got more and more worked up, "You...You...want to talk. N-now...after...all I've gone...through – you...want to...talk." Her voice was raise as the anger was all too evident.
Phoebe sat up and let go of Jason's shirt, which she had held so tight. She walked over to face Prue, "What...do you...want to talk about?" Phoebe shouted, actually taking Prue by surprise. Never before had Prue seen such hate, anger or aggression the eyes of the youngest sister. But as Prue looked closer she realized that nothing in her deep brown eyes resembled the Phoebe she once knew, they were so distant, so angered, so broken.
Prue didn't know how to react, "I know we haven't been around a whole lot lately..." Before she could continue Phoebe jumped in, "Underestimate of the year Prue!" she said, not lightheartedly, not even sarcastically but in an evil angered tone, a tone that Jason had only ever hared once before, the night she lost it big time, and had a fight with him, the night she trashed the house, the night she hit Jason, the night that he thought she was gone for good, never to have the Phoebe he knew and loved return.
He stood up from where he sat and called to her, "Phoebe!" Phoebe swung around and Jason at this point seeing her face, knew she had been pushed to far the need of the drugs was way too strong. "...What? You don't like the way I'm talking to her."
"Phoebe, listen to me calm down." Jason attempted but this made Phoebe's anger grow, "If you care about the way I talk to her so much, why don't you, go out with her instead of me?" She screamed and then turned back to Prue, "How dose it feel to know you have drove, you're poor little baby sister to this?" Phoebe screamed in Prue's face, who, was now backing away from Phoebe knowing she was capable of anything.
It was at this point Piper walked in, "What's going on?" She asked but stopped seeing Phoebe backing Prue up, making the oldest scared, never before had she seen Prue so scared and Phoebe so angry, so evil, so unlike the sister they were used to.
At the sound of Pipers voice Phoebe jolted her head to look at the middle Halliwell sister, "What's going on...I'm trying to figure out which one of you lot is going to be the one I take down first!" she screamed, Jason couldn't stand back any longer he stepped forward, "Your not going to do this!" he told her, Phoebe smiled, an evil smile, "Jason...my hero!" she said, looking once again at Prue, and taking an advancing step towards her, Prue knew Phoebe would do anything and she was actually scared, for one time in her life she was scared not only of another human, but of a sister a sister she no longer knew.
Phoebe laughed at her older sister, it was a laugh filled with a sense of accomplishment, and then she turned her back on a shaking Prue to see Jason was looking directly at her, "Looks like you know me better than they do" She stated, looking over at Piper who was in shock, "Sorry Pip, this isn't an problem you can solve, only the drugs can..." she stopped and looked back at Jason, "So why won't you give it me?" she asked quietly, but seeing his face remained emotionless she started to scream and lose it, "Just give it me. It'll stop, I wont be like this any more...GIVE IT ME!" she moved closer to him until she was directly in front, only inches away, Her voice returned to the quiet, less aggressive tone "Come on baby, make me happy." He looked down at Phoebe, and his heart was tearing, he wished he could...make her happy...but he couldn't, "No!" He said simply,
She started to scream again as anger filled her, taking over was the desire to have the high, "What the hell is this...Piss Phoebe off night?"
Piper and Prue were to scared to move, talk to even breath, the were frozen in shock and fear as they looked on at their baby sister. Phoebe walked past Jason and over to a cabinet she managed to calm herself, she spoke softly, to herself mumbling over and over again, "People lie, everyone lies, lies, people lie..." she stopped and looked at the Photos on top of the cabinet and they made her angry once again swiping it clear all the frames fell to the floor. Piper and Prue jumped in shock, and backed away, but Jason stood in the same spot not even flinching, he knew that this would pass it was only a stage; he had to just let it play out. She looked at the mass of broken wood, and glass and smiled, a victorious smile before her face turned once again to a mass of anger, she walked over to the chest of draws, and picked up one at a time photo by photo, she spoke quietly, to herself really, but it was loud enough for them to all hear.
The first photo in a dark mahogany frame, was one she never remembered, of a guy, she knew only by name, nothing else, no love was present no feelings only that of disappointment, "You left me, you were the one who left." She looked down at it for a second before, her hand rose and she through it to the floor, "You lied." She kept her voice simple and emotionless throughout, no tone just a voice; she walked over the glass as it crunched under her boots, her foot finally resting on the photo of her father's smiling face. She moved on picking up a photo of her mother, "You died, and left me alone, you left me..." Phoebe through the identical frame to the floor and repeated the same actions simply saying once again, "You lied." She then picked up the last picture on the stand, and looked at it, "now you I don't understand, you say you'll be back tomorrow...always tomorrow... but you never come back...always another emergency. 'You can look after yourself' that's all you would say, well..." she said, throwing the photo, like the others, to the floor at such a force that it exploded into millions of pieces, "You lied because I can't look after myself...you lied to me grams."
It was then she stopped and looked down at the floor before diverting her view to that of both of her oldest sisters who were now standing next to each other, silence was surrounding them, it was kind of eerie but it didn't last long, Phoebe started to scream now anger and hatred ran through her words like venom, "You lied both of you, you left me all alone...What did I ever do to deserve any of this..." she asked, then lost it completely, taking quick pace towards Piper and Prue, Prue saw this and instinctively pushed Piper behind her so she was safe. "You lied." Phoebe screamed, she was just about to dive at her sisters and let out all her anger when she felt Jason's arms pull her back, and push her down onto the floor, Phoebe screamed louder, "You never protected me Prue...you left me...you lied." Obviously she was referring to, the oldest sister's protective actions towards Piper. Jason managed to stop Phoebe by keeping her pinned to the ground, he looked at a broken Piper and Prue and screamed, at them "Leave...get the hell out of here...NOW!" Although neither knew what to do for the best, they obeyed Jason and walked away.
Phoebe stopped struggling against Jason and just cried, she could no longer fight she gave up and cried, "You can't save me...you can't help me!" Jason lifted his hand from where he had held Phoebe down and got off of her, sitting on the floor he pulled a sobbing Phoebe into his protective hold. As he sat with her crying in his arms he wondered, 'was that it...had she lost it completely? Had the Phoebe he loved died or was death close?
The death of her free spirit, her love, her trust, the death of her fiery soul the death of, who she was.
"What the hell is wrong with my sister?" Prue demanded,
"I'd like to know the same thing, I mean when I dropped her off, sure she was angry and upset but nothing like this...nothing to do this." He said anger in her eyes, "What happened?"
"I don't know, she came in and just lost it, one minuet we were talking and the next, she was going mad like a junkie needing a fix."

"Get the hell out of my house!" Prue screamed,
"What's wrong? The truth hurt? Well no, things don't work like that, I'm not going anywhere because unlike the two of you, I keep my promises and I will be here for Phoebe." Prue's anger rose, as did Jason's hate. He hated them for abandoning there sister, he hated them because they were a big part of this problem.
