Living High
Meanwhile back in San Francisco
Phoebe and Piper stood outside the doorway of an obviously very expensive condominium. "So now do you agree that there is something Paige has been keeping from us?" Piper asked her voice ripe with sarcasm. "So much for the junky old apartment she was living in when we first found her."
"Maybe this place belongs to a friend?" Phoebe suggested hopefully. "You know sis, I love you dearly. And I don't want you to take this the wrong way but do you know how really gullible you sound right now?" was Piper's response. "I mean it can't be a friend from work, how many civil servants get paid enough to afford a place like this besides oh maybe the governor? We also know it doesn't belong to any of her adoptive family either. They are all nice normal people earning nice normal salaries."
"Okay, okay, so I'm leading with my heart again and not my head. I have a tendency of doing that as you, Dad, Prue, and Grams have always constantly pointed out to me," Phoebe said apologetically. She fully admitted even to herself that she tended to be the most vulnerable of the sisters.
"You know in some cases that's not always a bad thing, Phoebe. There are times that actually works out amazingly well. It did for me with Leo and it sure looks like it's working out that way for you and Cole. I'm just not sure it's wise in terms of Paige. Believe me when I say I wish it were. I don't enjoy suspecting my sister either. I just don't think we have a choice. I hope I'm wrong here but we both need to be prepared for the possibility that I'm not. I don't want to see you getting hurt physically or emotionally any more than you already are. You're my little sis, it's my job to be the overprotective mother hen," Piper finished.
"And you do an excellent job of it too," Phoebe replied. She laughed and went to hug Piper. "Ouch," she cried as she bumped her injured shoulder. "I almost forgot. It had quit throbbing for like say three minutes.
"Okay, that does it," Piper said. Let's get in there and set our little Miss Paige straight, have her heal your arm and then orb us back to the Manor. In the meantime try not to focus on the pain. Think of something soothing like a massage or a hot bath."
Phoebe closed her eyes and imagined Cole's talented fingers easing the ache in her shoulders and spreading a delicious tingling sensation everywhere else. A secret little smile lit up her face.
"Yo, Pheebs, I didn't mean for you to drift that far into dreamland. I'm still going to need your help in there. Just in case there is any hidden demons or say the overwhelming urge to strangle Paige comes back."
"Spoilsport," Phoebe said, then stuck out her tongue at Piper.
"Just look at it this way, Pheebs. The quicker we get this over with the quicker you can get back to your man in the flesh, and hopefully I'll be able to say the same thing about me and mine too."
"Alright, Alright, I'm concentrating. So let's get this show on the road. Phoebe rang the doorbell with her good hand. They heard movement inside and then Paige came and opened the door. Phoebe noted with dismay the pained expression that came across her younger sister's face.
"What are you doing here?" Paige asked with clear impatience. "Wha... What ar..," Piper started to sputter. Phoebe quickly intervened. "What Piper is no doubt trying to ask you is why wouldn't we be here? We have quite a few issues to resolve with you. Starting with the not so little matter of your disappearance when Leo is still "incapacitated." Due to your backfired potion mind you. Then there's also the matter of being unprotected without the power of three and demon atta..."
"Not to mention the fact that Phoebe is in a great deal of pain due to fending off one such demon," Piper added regaining her voice. "Really?" Paige asked sarcasm dripping from her voice. "You fended off a demon Phoebe? I thought you were more into bedding them?" Phoebe raised her good arm and slapped Paige across the face.
Pain shot through Phoebe's shoulder with the impact and she nearly went down. She could sense Paige moving closer to her and she sensed it wasn't to help her up. Piper rushed over. "Don't you dare you touch her you little bitch. You deserved that slap and you know it."
"Why does the truth hurt? You know I am so sick of the two of you pretending like you are so perfect and that I'm the idiot when all the two of you have ever done is screw up. I mean face facts. If you weren't the Source would be dead by now and Prue wouldn't be. Think about that on your way out why don't you?"
"Paige, what the hell is wrong with you?" Piper asked angrily. "Nothing a little distance from the two of you won't cure," Paige shot back viciously. Piper looked like she was going to argue further. Phoebe stopped her. "Let's just go Piper," there's no reasoning with her now."
"But what about Leo, and what about your arm?" Piper asked worriedly. "Oh you two are such super witches I'm sure you will figure something out. "You don't really need me," Paige offered before Phoebe had a chance to respond.
"Look I don't know what your problem is but you know where to find us, when you're ready to explain yourself and apologize, or if the Source attacks." Piper informed Paige. "Otherwise don't call us. Will call you."
"Come on Phoebe, I'll drive you to the emergency room," Piper said as she slammed the door behind her on the way out. "Do we really have to go there?" Phoebe asked hoping she could change Piper's mind. She hated hospitals. "Well we are fresh out of white lighters at the moment. So it looks like your going to have to settle for a doctor. Maybe he'll be cute." "Please Piper I'm an engaged woman now. Besides nobody is as cute as Cole to in my eyes."
