Black Past – part 3
Hours had past, she had been away from the manor all day just driving around. She had managed to control her pain, and decided it was best to go back, they would be worried.
She pulled her car onto the driveway and noticed that it was not just her sisters in the house, 'Great' She thought, as she noticed Andy's car on the road Prue's boy friend, Luke's motor bike behind that, Paige's Boyfriend. and Craig's car across the road, he is Piper's boyfriend.
Phoebe stood from her car taking the bag off the seat next to her she walked up the steps and braced herself for what was to come once she pushed open the door.
When she did she was greeted by silence and darkness, 'Must all be upstairs in their rooms' Her hopes were crushed with the sound of voices coming from the kitchen, she simply shut the door and made her way to where she needed to go, unfortunately it was right where her sisters where, with their men.
She walked through the kitchen door, and glanced over at where all six of them were stood and sat, "Hay...just thought I'd tell you I'm back...and now, I'm going again you probably wont see me tonight." Phoebe spoke as she headed towards the door that lead to the basement before she could open it she hared Prue,
"Where were you" Phoebe turned to her, and also looked at the other people she did not need this now,
"leave it...Oh and when J comes around send him down to me"
It was when Paige hared this that she stood to her feet out of the protective arms of Luke, "Are you fucking kidding me!" Phoebe knew this was coming,
"Why do you let him do this to you?" Paige asked,
"Look I did not ask for you to get involved...I just want you...to let the guy...in...the fucking house" She growled through gritted teeth.
Piper could tell that this was going to escalate if she never intervened, "Hay Paige, back off...Phoebe I'll let him in."
Phoebe nodded, "Great...thanks...that's all I ask" She muttered as she pulled the basement door open and walked down the steps.
When it shut Paige erupted, "Are you kidding me, he'll send her crazy, he'll just hurt her..."
Piper looked at the youngest, "Maybe but we will be here for her, until then I suggest you do what she asks, you know that she'll snap if you question her."
"She will snap, Jesus, she's gone. Did you see all the liquor and beer?" Paige shot back.
Prue who had been silent through out all of this stepped forward, "Would you just let the guy in!" She shouted, "I have had enough of this, I'm going to bed."
"Prue that's Phoebe, you are letting a guy hurt Phoebe"
"Paige just let Phoebe's boy friend in to see her..." Prue turned around, "Did you hear that? He is her boy friend weather we like it or not...so just LET HIM IN!"
Paige through her arms up, "What ever..." Before she could say anymore the loud music that had just been switched on in the basement started to shake the house, Paige looked over to Piper and Prue... "She's going to let him hurt her...both you and I know it. Why won't you stop it..."
"It is not up to us to stop"Paige stepped forward, "Well I'm sorry if I'm worried that my big sister is going to brake...that she is going to have a relapse and go into a fucking depression..."
"You aren't the only one" Prue shouted, "We have all been through the past two years together."Paige sat down at the table, "So why do I feel so alone now?"
Piper stepped towards her but before anything could be said there was a nock at the back door.
Paige looked up at the oldest, "You better let her Boyfriend in then" Prue turned and walked over to the door.
J stood waiting for the door to be opened so that he could take cover from the torrential rain, "Hay do you want to hurry this up?" He shouted at Prue through the closed doors.
Prue's anger was boiling by the time she opened the door. "J, Phoebe's waiting for you"
"I know, where is she"
"Basement" Prue instructed, as J walked past the oldest he looked across the kitchen to she Paige with Luke stood behind her head in her hands and Piper kneeling in front of her. Andy and Craig were in the opposite corner of the kitchen.
"Hay guys...Hi Paige" He laughed,
Paige shot to her feet instantly, and tried to run at him only to find that Luke had her held back, "Hurt her, I'll hurt you" She screamed
J nodded, "Okay then." With this the guy pushed open the door and made his way down the steps.
Luke let go of Paige who was now angrier than before, Piper looked at him as if asking him what to do...He moved to Paige, "Come on, let's go to the room...take a seat" Paige just let him lead her away.
Leaving Piper, Prue, Andy and Craig stood all looking at each other, "This is going to be one hell of a long night" Prue spoke.
Phoebe was sat in the corner of the room, in her hand She had the vodka, unable to stop herself she had already downed it, half was already gone. The music was full blast sounding through out the manor. Every thing went so wrong, her life, all started to fall apart in that ally. As she sat there she wondered how differently things would have worked out if...they never went down the ally.
About twenty minuets and two thirds of the vodka later she hared the door open and J walking down the steps, she just looked at him and he at her...
This sure as hell would be a long night.
Gun pressed against my temple, my heart beating;
faster and faster...the end's too close.
You stood next to me...I'd happily take your place,
but when the trigger was pushed, you smiled, pushed me aside and smiled...BANG!!!
Phoebe shot up into a sitting position, her hear racing and her mind else where she took deep breaths trying to calm her near hysterical state. A hand, she felt on her shoulder, pulling away she stood from the small bed in the corner of the basement. Then realizing where she was she looked at the guy who was lay next to her, "J, I..."
He mover towards her, "Shush, you safe, it's fine..." she shook her head, which was absolutely pounding,
"Worse..." She managed to say, "The nightmares are worse"
He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into him she rested her head on his shoulder, as she shook, her body burning up, he felt this and whispered in her ear, "Come on, lets go up to the kitchen and get you sorted" She did not respond so he headed towards the stairs supporting her as she lent on him for support Physical, and emotional.
Once up in the kitchen he walked over and sat her on the chair at the table...she rested her head on it as pictures flooded through her mind, emotionally drowning her...things were getting worse, J could tell as he hared the mumbling becoming shouts. He made his way over to the sink and dampened a cloth in cold water. As he did he happened to catch the time, ten past five, he then walked over to Phoebe who as he was halfway towards her pushed the chair back and stood up, before collapsing under the pressure her hands clasped around her exploding head.
He pulled her up to her feet and helped her into the room with the couch, where he placed her down, sitting next to her he whipped her face and neck with the damp cloth...this seemed to calm her as she started to close her eyes again and rest her head on his chest. He put his arm around her and hushed her to sleep, she complied as she was once again forced into a unsettled sleep.
Paige was sat at the kitchen table, Piper across from her, there men had both left the night before unlike Andy who had stayed over. "See him, all over her again?" Paige spoke,
Piper looked over her coffee at the youngest, "Paige he has his arm around her, that's all" She spoke obviously reefing to Phoebe and J.
"I just do not want her to get hurt again, by him"
"And you think I want that, there is nothing we can do" Piper explained,
"You did not see how he treated her yesterday, or most other times in fact. I was the one she came to when they fight...I don't want to see her like that again"
Piper nodded, "Paige I understand, just back off a little hay..." Paige just nodded and stood to her feet...
she walked over to the coffee pot pouring herself a cup as she spoke, "Yeah, maybe but Piper, you know that since she witnessed our Dad been murdered in front of her she has been vulnerable, and he is taking advantage...She saw our Dad die, and sat with him for hours, with his dead body in her arms. It messed her up Piper, and I just want to protect her..."
It was then that Phoebe appeared in the door way, Paige stopped abruptly...Phoebe had hared, hared it all...
