AN: Hey everybody! I am soooooo sorry I haven't updated! But... crawls under computer desk I have a good excuse! I was out of the country, no internet! The horror! But, I'm back now, and can update. The plus side? I did a lot of brainstorming for this fic, so I can make the end better. I just realized how bad my original ending in my mind was, so I'm changing it. Also, I had 167 Author and Review Alerts when I got back. It is ridiculous, but I am happy for the reviews! And, just to let you know, what happened will slowly unravel.

Jules713 - Well, I can't answer you're question quite yet, but you will find out soon enough.
charmedeva - how can I do that? I don't know, but I did do it somehow. And yay, I'm happy ur excited.
Pipery03 - Again, I can't answer that question, but don't worry too much. And, I don't have to do anything. This is my fic, but I MAY listen to you sarcasm. Oh, thanks! blushing
piperleo4eva - Don't worry, there will be more with the stalker bastard. Also, I must note that I love the caps thing. Thanks.
JanaRose - You're always right sometimes? I will answer those questions in order: you will find out soon enough, ditto, Phoebe was unconscious in the gym, like the boys. But, a hint... there is more than one reason Piper was attacked like that. There are actually... four. Yep, four different reasons. Interesting, huh?
Piperhalliwell025 - Oh my gosh! turns scarlet And people say flattery will get you nowhere. You really think I should write a book? Well, we'll see about that...
P3charmed4eva - I use fantabulous too! What a coinkidink! Oh, and I am sad that you couldn't breathe. I would have hated to loose such a good reviewer. Oh, and just to let you know, my spell check is loving this response.
anna - So do I! Well, I never really think that far into the future, so I don't know if they do!
winter blaze - I'm glad they are alright too, for now, that is...
LeoPiper24/7 - Who is JoJo? Anyway, I love the all-caps thing. I love your reviews, and it seems that a lot of people want Piper to be okay. I wonder why... dripping with sarcasm

Thanks for these reviews, I got 10!!! A new record!!! Yay me! Also, I realized I have 81 reviews for only 22 chapters. That is almost 4 reviews per chapter! YAY! Can you please help me reach over four reviews per chapter? It would be much appreciated! Anyway, the much awaited chapter 23...

Prue and Paige walked outside to see two squad cars and five ambulances, just like the operator had said. "So, how to get you two to the hospital. There isn't any room in the ambulances, so how about you ride with me? Also, I think that the doctors are a little busy, so you wouldn't be getting attention until you got to the hospital." one of the police officers said sympathetically. Prue and Paige both knew what that meant. It meant that all the doctors had to help their injured, unconscious friends and didn't have time to deal with the two of them. "Girls?" the officer asked, and the two were shaken out of their wandering thoughts. "Coming!" Prue said, and pulled Paige towards the squad car.

;;;;;;;;

"So, Ms. Halliwell, what happened?" the officer sitting next to her asked cautiously. He didn't want to stress her out more than she already was. "Um, I don't really know. P-P-Pi... one of us figured out who my stalker was, and led us to his classroom. That's where he surprised us with three lackeys behind him. We were running and fighting at the same time, if that makes sense. Then, Paige was knocked out, thrown against a locker. Soon after, I was knocked out. I don't know what happened after that, or how things got to the gym. We were heading in that direction, but it was still a long way away. It would have had to last a long time before getting there." Prue said, explaining things to the officer.

While Prue continued answering questions, Paige just looked out of the window silently. She was watching all the ambulances. She was listening to all the sirens of seven vehicles. Also, she couldn't help noticing that one of the ambulances was a lot further ahead than the rest. It didn't take her long to figure out whose ambulance it was. She felt a tear slip down her already moist cheek. She had lost her parents all too recently, and she couldn't loose one of her friends for the same reason. It would be too much for her to handle. She took a glance over at Prue. She didn't want Prue to see her crying. Her friend looked calm, but not if you looked into her eyes. All Paige could see when she looked into her eyes was pain and guilt. She knew that Prue wasn't to blame for this incident, but she knew she couldn't convince Prue of that. She turned back to look out the window. It was beginning to rain again. 'How fitting' Paige thought. She did not notice the rain falling down her own face as she looked out at the drops of rain falling steadily faster outside the squad car window.

AN: I know, incredibly short chapter. But, I wanted to show the feelings of Paige. And, I'm listening to some sad songs on my iTunes, so I felt like doing something sad. Also, I have planned a lot of stuff for the first few hours of the hospital. Also, I wanted to do what the short ride was like. This is after a song by BWitched!
