AN: Some suspense will be over! Praise me! Also, even though this isn't a song fic, I have two different songs in here. I thought they would be perfect for this.
piperleo4eva - Wow, you're messed up. But, I did laugh out loud when I read your review! And, that scene was cutesy? Well, I have to admit, it kind of was, but it was sad too.
winter blaze - Yay! I have a reviewer that doesn't hate me! Happiness and joy is spread throughout the world! Okay, enough of that, I want to let you know what is happening...
leojunkie-charmed04 - thank you for saying you like this fic! Also, I doubt that you are part of the biggest fan ever, unless I am the other part. I love Piper and Leo, and, after this fic, I will be making more Piper/Leo based fics! I just want to finish this one as soon as I can, so I can begin those. I already have the plot line for one or two of them!
C. C. McKenna - You like typing dude, don't you? Anyways, I love the song, too. And, I am happy I made a long chapter again. I like making those because it pleases my fans. I think this one is a bit long as well. And, just to let you know, what you wrote about my fic also applies to the show! I am glad that I am doing it honor! (author salutes television)
p3charmed4eva - I don't think Phoebe is a slut, just she had a reputation that she was. Remember Freebie? And, I am happy you were happy about the Leo reaction. I did it for you, and all other Piper and Leo fans!
Now, chapter 28...
::::::
Everyday, after school, the seven kids went to the hospital. Even though only a few of them were able to see Piper a day, they wanted to be there just in case there was some news. There hadn't been any yet. It had been three weeks since they started going to school, and Piper hadn't woken up, or even gotten better in the slightest.
Everyone was dealing with the stalker issue in different ways. Prue had completely broken down, tears spilling at the slightest thing. Andy tried his best to comfort her, while having an overwhelming overprotective feeling about both her and Piper. Leo just spent time staring blankly in to space, always lost in his own little world. Phoebe wasn't really her cheery self anymore. She stopped making jokes, and had developed a negative attitude towards anything, and also a horrible temper. She and Prue constantly fought, having no one to mediate. Billy was trying his best to quell his girlfriend's temper, and was failing miserably. Glenn just watched this all, still not coming to terms with reality. Paige didn't even watch. When they got to the waiting room that day, after a hectic day at school, she pulled out her iPod and headphones. She had listened to music constantly ever since the incident at the school. It was her escape from all that was happening around her. There was too much going on in her life, and she couldn't handle it all. There was the threat from the stalker, her adoptive parents' death, Piper's condition, and the looming deadline for finding her real family. She had three days, or else she would go into foster care. Social services was trying its best to find them, but were coming up empty.
"Miss Matthews, you can see her now." a doctor called from the doorway. It was Paige's turn to see Piper, again. Paige got up, and she and her guard went to Piper's room.
;;;;;;
"Excuse me. I have something to tell you all." the doctor told the group as soon as Paige left. They all turned their attention to him. "Yes, Dr. Kush?" Grams asked. She had just remembered who he was. He was in charge of Piper's care. "Me and the other doctors have noticed that Piper's condition has steadily gotten worse. Her body is getting tired, and we are afraid that she will not be able to fight much longer." The doctor said grimly. "Is she going to die?" Prue asked, beginning to sob yet again. The doctor didn't say anything for a moment. "Not definitely," he said, "but it is becoming an increasing probability. I am sorry." he said, then left the room, to leave them in their grief. And, ironically, Paige had left her iPod on, and they could hear the song that was playing through the headphones.
"I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake it
It happened, you passed by"
Billy got up and ripped the headphones out, so they couldn't hear the song anymore. Then, he looked over at the others. They were crying. Then, he looked at his shirt. So was he.
;;;;;;
Paige walked into Piper's room. She put her pencil and paper on the bed, and turned to Piper. She cleared her throat. She was preparing to sing to her. She had done this every time she visited Piper, she had a feeling that it reached her in some way. Paige always just sang songs that came into her head. They were always songs she knew Piper liked. She looked down at Piper. She looked so sweet and innocent, just lying there, and Paige came up with an idea. "I think you're gonna like this one." Paige told her, and began singing.
"Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
The memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh and weightless
Then maybe I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There are vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
And you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
You're in the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here."
Paige finished singing the song. It was then that she realized she was crying. She then sunk to her knees, her right hand still on the bed. She just sat there, sobbing. She didn't want this song to relate to Piper. It just couldn't. It would be too much for her to handle. She couldn't die, she just couldn't.
It was then that Paige stopped sobbing for a moment. She stood up, and looked at her hand, and saw that it had found Piper's. 'I don't remember putting my hand there.' Paige thought, then opened her eyes in shock. Piper's thumb was gently rubbing the back of her hand. Then Paige's gaze moved to Piper's face. Piper's brown eyes were looking back, and she was giving Paige a reassuring smile.

AN: BWAHAHAHA! I tricked you with the chapter title, now didn't I? I know, I'm evil for ending it here, but don't worry, the new chapter will come in a few hours. Also, the first little clip from a song is Avril Lavigne's Slipped Away, which is what this chapter is named after. It is off of her new cd. The second song bit is Angel by Sarah McLachlan. It is the song that helped to inspire this fic.
