Chapter 8
Prue was pacing the hospital relative's room, she couldn't lose her sister, not now, not after all of this how would she live with out her. Without her baby sister, how?
Piper sat on the chair in the corner, she felt so numb, lost, how was this happening, this morning everything was perfect, her boyfriend was with her and her sisters were all going to spend the weekend together, and within two hours Pipers world felt as if it was crumbling. And the last words she said were so harsh, so angry; as she sat there she realized that it was only he sister looking out for her. She shouldn't have acted like that then maybe she would be sitting at her home with her sisters around.
Jason stood against the wall in the corner, he was just staring into space remembering the morning before, the morning at the beech, it was great, he wanted to do that again, he would give anything to have the day back, and maybe he could have stopped it.
Each were broken out of their thoughts by a knock at the door, They all looked towards except Piper who stayed looking at the floor, the door open and the male officer from earlier popped his head around the door, "Excuse me, Miss Haliwell can I speak to you?" He asked aiming towards Prue, who just nodded and walked out of the room and into the corridor.
"Greg never pressed charges, so we won't need a statement from Phoebe, we have enough from Jason and Greg that proves it was self defense. Greg will stay in the station until he sobers up okay" Prue just nodded, "Tank you office" with that the officer gave her a sympathetic smile, "Sure, so any news on how she is?" He asked, "The doctor should be with us soon, so until then...we know nothing" "I hope everything goes okay for you" He offered, "Thanks."
Phoebe woke up to the whit walls of the small room she lay in; the smell of the cleaning agents was un-mistakable, Hospital. Great she thought, then the days events flooded back into her drowsy mind, an unexplainable serge of anger hit her, she was unable to stop it, she shouted, "Get me out of this place" it was then that the doctor walked through the door into the room, "Miss Haliwell you're awake!" the doctor stated "No shit Sherlock" she shouted back, "What the hell's going on?" she asked, "You collapsed Miss Haliwell..." as he was explaining he noticed Phoebe, who was now sitting up in the bed bring her hand up to her head and pushed it through her brown hair, "Do you have a head ach?" the doctor asked, Phoebe looked at him, "Looks that way" she shot back, "I'll have the nurse give you something, as I was saying, "Your blood sugar was extremely low, have you been eating regularly lately?" he asked, Phoebe looked into his eyes, she couldn't read them he was too professional to expose his thoughts and emotions in his stare, "Doc, you know the answer to that so why bother asking me? I haven't eaten hardily anything for weeks" the doctor nodded and wrote, "When can I get out of here?" She asked, the doctor observed his noted, "Well it looks like you are extremely healthy now that your blood sugar is back to normal again so you, if you promise to take the medicine that I give you, can go home now" Phoebe nodded, "Well come on Sherlock, what are you waiting for, go get them pills" The doctor smiled, "Sure, Miss Hal..." Before he could finish Phoebe spoke again, "Sherlock, call me Phoebe..." he nodded, "Okay then, Phoebe you need to eat regular meals, and take these. I would also like you to come back and see me in two days" she nodded, "Sure..." Phoebe looked at his name tag, he notice this too, it had his name in scripted onto it, Dr. Robin Compton, Phoebe pulled a face and then looked up at him, "How about we keep Sherlock?" She asked, He smiled, "What ever you say Phoebe" "Hay before you go, I don't want you to talk to my sisters just let me handle it." "If that's what you want"
Back in the waiting room the silence was louder than words, each were becoming more and more worked up, "What the hells taking so long, we have been here for over four hours now." Jason shouted, "Calm down, I'll go and see if there is anything they can tell us" Prue said standing up from the chair where she was sat, she walked over to the door, when she opened it, Phoebe was stood there leaning against the doorway, "Hay sis looking for me?" she asked, Prue's face lit up, as she hugged her little sister. At the sound of her voice Piper and Jason stood up and stepped towards her.
"Phoebe!" they both said together, "you're okay..." Jason finished "Looks like it don' it" She said, not really in a sarcastic tone, just in an emotionless tone. "Phoebe I'm so sorry..." Piper said, Phoebe looked over to her, and a smile lit up her face, "Don't be because you were right, I was going to kill him...I was going to kill him after I beat him unconscious. You know why?" Phoebe asked, All three just looked on in shock, "Because I know that isn't the first time he's hit you...Is it?" Phoebe smile dropped, "Told you" she said after her statement was confirmed by the look on Pipers face. "I would have killed him!" With this she turned her back on them all, "Don't think for one minuet I would let him hurt you and get away with it" with that she started walking away. The three in the waiting room looked at each other, Piper fell back to the chair, she held back the tears, Prue looked over to Jason and indicated to go after Phoebe and she would talk to Piper.
Jason ran down the hall way after Phoebe, "Phoebe WAIT!" he shouted, she was right next too the entrance when she hared him but she continued to walk as her breathing was becoming shallow and she felt as her face became hot. She took a deep breath and turned to him once out side pulling her- self together. She smiled, "Hay honey, what's wrong?" she asked, "Pheebs, what's going on?" he asked now stopping in front of her, "What do you mean?" "Before you walked into that waiting room the last thing that I saw was you been pushed into the emergency room unconscious and now you're acting...so different." Phoebe looked at Jason, "Baby there is absolutely nothing to worry about, just low blood sugar. Look I got my pills and stuff..." Jason just nodded, "Fine, but are you sure you are okay?" she nodded, "Yeah, fine would you stop been so..." "Concerned?" Jason shouted back, "Phoebe I...we all thought that you were going to die." "You are so overdramatic..." Phoebe began turning her back on him, "No Phoebe I'm not, I love you so much...don't push me away" he said following her as she walked towards the car. Phoebe didn't say anything she just stood near the car.
"Prue, I loved him...he just used to hit me when he drank too much, it was such a shock today. I thought he was going to kill me, and he would have if it wasn't for Phoebe." "Piper everything's okay now. That loser won't come back...and when we get home well talk about this and get it sorted out" Piper just nodded and followed her oldest sister out of the room.
The walked into the car park and saw Phoebe and Jason, they noticed that something was different, something about how they were acting. When they got closer the two sisters pulled themselves together, Phoebe noticed them get closer and she two had to take a deep breath. "I'll drive..." She said, Prue looked across at the youngest, "Phoebe I don't think that that's..." "Prue I don't care what you think. Just give me the keys to the damn car now!" she screamed, he hands started to tremble and she clenched her fist, Piper really didn't want to argue with her, "Phoebe are you sure you're up to it?" Phoebe shot her a look, "I said I was didn't I. Just give me the keys." With that Piper took them out of her pocket and handed them to her.
Once Phoebe sat in the driver seat, she felt the power that she needed, she felt the freedom. She put the keys in the ignition and started the engine; Jason was sat next to her, Piper and Prue both behind her. Each were worried about the youngest, but the way they saw it, she told them she was fine, and the quicker that they got home the better.
Phoebe lent forward and turned on the radio full blast, then she fiercely dropped the hand break and shot back from the parking space, "Phoebe!" Prue shouted only to be greeted by the laughter of the youngest as she sped from the parking lot of SFMH and onto the main street.
As she continued, her speed increased Prue lent forward, "Slow down Phoebe, what the hell's wrong with you?" "I'm going to show you what a rush feels like..." She screamed back pushing her foot to the floor, "No Phoebe you're going to show up what death Is like if you don't slow down..." "Death Not what they make it out to be...no pearly gates, no floating clouds just death, blackness..." "You're crazy...Pull the car over now!" Piper shouted, "I'm crazy, you never pressed charges did you..." Piper never answered, Phoebe sped the car up, weaving in and out of the traffic, "Did you Piper" once again no answer.
Phoebe swerved taking a sharp corned and cutting across three lanes onto a street of the main inter-state causing cars to break hard and sound their horns. The three in the car were so scared; they were certain they were going to die. "DID YOU?" Phoebe screamed, "NO!" Piper shouted back, it was then that Phoebe halted the car, in a screeching break and laughed, "I should have killed him!" and then she popped open the door and stepped out of the car.
Jason got out of his side and walked around to her, "What the hall was that all about?" he shouted, "Are you crazy?" Phoebe started to laugh hysterically, "Maybe! Why is it scary? DID I SCARE JASON?" Phoebe shouted, "You could have killed us all. Give me the keys. Now." He screamed, Phoebe stopped laughing she looked at the keys and then at Jason, she handed them to him, and then she looked back at the car where Piper and Prue were now standing. "Shit what have I done?" she said, Then she looked at Jason, "It...it's happening again ...Jason it's happening!" Jason saw Phoebe wasn't right, "Phoebe maybe you are just tired and still not felling too good. Let's get you home."
Phoebe was visible shook up and confused, what was wrong with her? What's happening to her?
Prue was pacing the hospital relative's room, she couldn't lose her sister, not now, not after all of this how would she live with out her. Without her baby sister, how?
