Chapter 7
Kitchen
(Piper is washing the dishes. She turns and sees Olivia and Chris sitting at the table. Olivia is looking pale and shivering even with a blanket on.)
Piper: Are you sure you're ok. We could turn the heat on.
(Olivia shakes her head.)
Chris: You're sure you're not hungry. It's not like you to miss one of mom's meals.
(Olivia nods. Piper looks at Chris who is looking at her. Olivia opens her mouth to say something but only a white mist comes out, she closes her mouth before anyone sees. She quickly stands up, knocking over the chair and rushes out of the room. Both Chris and Piper rush after her.)
Outside the manor
(Olivia rushes out of the manor, and starts to cough uncontrollably. With each cough a little white mist comes out. Chris and Piper finally get outside, and rush over to Olivia, who backs away trying to stop her coughing but is unsuccessful.
Chris: Oh my God. Why didn't you tell me? (tears coming down his face.)
Olivia: I...(cough)...didn't want...(cough)...to worry...(cough)...you.
(Chris hugs her tight and starts to rock her.)
Piper: What's wrong with her?
Chris: It's a disease, but...
Piper: Leo! Leo!
Chris: It won't work. You can't heal it.
(Leo orbs in.)
Piper: Then what do we do?
(Olivia's breathing returns to normal and the mist goes away. Leo rushes over.)
Leo: Olivia what's wrong?
(Olivia doesn't say a word just turns her head away from everyone. Leo turn to Chris.)
Chris: So this is what she meant.
(Olivia nods with tears coming down her face.)
Chris: Fine, just leave me like everyone else!
(He orbs out and Olivia rushes back into the house crying hysterical.)
Piper: Olivia.
Spare room
(Olivia is sitting with her back on the door. We hear a knock.)
Piper: Sweetie, are you ok?
Olivia: Go away.
Piper: Olivia, I want to help. I want to be your mother.
Olivia: My mother died a long time ago.
Piper: I'm sorry, but maybe we can make up for that now.
(Olivia doesn't answer. Piper is about to ask something when Olivia opens the door. Her face in red from crying.)
Olivia: I-I don't want to die.
Piper: Aw honey. (Piper brings Olivia into a hug and Olivia burst out crying. Piper rubs her back.) It's going to be ok. Well find a way to save you, I promise.
Golden Gate Bridge
(Chris is sitting on a crossbeam when Leo orbs in.)
Leo: Thought I find you here.
Chris: What do you want?
Leo: It's not her fault you know.
Chris: (Deep sigh) Yea, I know.
Leo: Look, I know it's hard. It must be hard for her too.
Chris: I just keep losing everyone.
(Leo tacks a seat next to Chris.)
Leo: At least you still got family here.
(Chris looks at his father.)
Chris: Thanks dad.
(Leo smiles.)
Leo: I kind of like the sound of that.
(Chris smiles)
Chris: Me too.
Hallway
(Phoebe is hugging Olivia.)
Olivia: Aunt Phoebe, I can't breathe.
Phoebe: Why did you tell us?
Olivia: Because I knew you acted like this.
Phoebe: Oh, sorry.
(Phoebe backs away)
Paige: Still you should have said something.
Olivia: I didn't want to bother you.
Phoebe: You could never bother us.
(Olivia looks away.)
Olivia: The last time I was sick was when...you guys died.
Piper: Oh, I'm sorry.
Olivia: No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said anything.
Paige: You know you're just as bad as Chris, you hid your emotions too much.
(Olivia smiles.)
Olivia: I do, don't I. I guess it runs in the family.
Phoebe: You're telling me.
(Olivia yawns.)
Piper: Well you had a big day, why don't you get some sleep?
Olivia: I don't think I ...
(Pushing her up the stairs.)
Paige: Now listen to your mother. You can sleep in the spare room.
Olivia: Ok, ok. I'll go to sleep. (She turns around.) You'll wake me up if something happens, right.
Phoebe: Yes, we promise. Now get to bed.
(Olivia looks at the mom and aunts then smiles.)
Olivia: I really missed you guys.
(They smile back.)
Upstairs and into the Spare room
(She goes up the stairs and into the room then turns to lock the door. When she turns around, Wyatt is there.)
Wyatt: So?
Olivia: I would never.
Wyatt: You know where to reach me if you change your mind.
Olivia: Believe me I won't.
Wyatt: We'll see about that.
(He orbs out and Olivia turns and leys on the bed.)
Outside the spare bedroom
(We see Piper staring at the door, having heard everything.)
