CHAPTER 2

"Thanks for tonight I had a really great time" Phoebe said as she walked towards the manor,

Jamie turned to her, "I had a great time to. Phoebe I would love to do it again"

Phoebe smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'd like that" it was then that both sets of eyes connected, then his head slowly moved towards hers and there lips softly touched, after a few moments he stepped back and smiled, "I'll see you at school tomorrow?"

"Yeah you will" she said,

"Night Phoebe" he said kissing her one last time before walking away, "Night RJ" she called before walking back towards the house with a smile on her face.

She opened the door and walked through to the kitchen, she found Prue sat at the table, "Hay Prue" She looked at her watch, "You're up late. It's twelve o'clock"

"Yeah, I am...sit down" Prue said simply, as she took her glasses off and looked at a perplexed Phoebe, who took a seat next to her on a chair.

"What is it?" Phoebe asked,

"Look, no bull shit. Just tell me straight. Have you been drinking?"

Phoebe looked puzzled, "What! I have been with RJ. At the beach...what the hell do you mean?"

"Not only tonight in general, have you been drinking?" Prue asked, sterner this time,

"NO!" Phoebe insisted,

"Don't lie to me, I found a bottle of vodka in your room" Phoebe couldn't believe this,

"So you found vodka in my room?" She asked,

"Yeah, is it yours?"

"How dear you" Phoebe shouted,

"Do not take that tone with me, you are in the wrong here"

Phoebe pushed the chair back and stood to her feet, "So you think that I drink"

"Yeah I do..." Prue said also standing to her feet.

"So I suppose you also think that I have sex with guys I just met and, how about drugs? I do all that"

"Don't get smart with me, this is serious"

Phoebe took a deep breath, "So hold up, you found a bottle of Vodka in my room? And now you are here screaming at me"

"Yeah I am. I have lost all respect for you Phoebe, get out my face"

Prue spoke as she took her seat, Phoebe, hurt, just nodded her head... turning around she threw her open bottle of water on the side and left.

Phoebe appeared at the top of the stairs, she was so angry right now that she needed to get away from everything but no such luck as she rounded the corner into her bed room Paige was sat on her bed. "Phoebe..." She attempted as the older of the two walked in,

Phoebe just shook her head, "No Paige, just get out"

"But..." Paige attempted again,

"Paige go!" Phoebe shouted again.

This time the youngest did leave the room, but before she went she just said, "Sorry"

The next morning Phoebe reluctantly had gotten up and was now dressed in a pair of biker boots with a black pair of jeans, and a tight white shirt with a black bomber jacket. Her hair down and her make up done, she was ready to face her sisters.

Walking down the stairs she hared the voices of her two older sisters, great there here, she though. Ignoring her instinct to take her keys and bail she walked through into the kitchen. As soon as she did she locked eyes with the youngest who was sat, one leg on the chair at the breakfast bar and the other rested on the stool next to her. Both looked at each other, noting said.

Phoebe broke eye contact and headed towards the fridge, from it she took a bottle of water, "Hay, how's are very own little drunk?" Prue's sly comment was enough to make Phoebe want to scream, to throw something to walk out of there. But instead she kept calm not saying a word she made her way towards the cupboard, opening it she took out a box of pills, "What hang over?" Prue again, Phoebe just pushed it to the back of her head and clicked open the box.

Taking out the pills she threw them into her mouth taking a swig of water. Then she turned around, "Paige, you want a ride get in the car. If not fine!"

"Paige isn't getting in that car with you" Prue spoke,

"What the hell?" Phoebe asked,

"Well I can not be sure weather or not you have had a drink so I'll give her a ride"

Phoebe couldn't believe this, she was so far beyond angry now, she was ready to kill, "You know what. Fine"

"and I'll pick her up to" Prue told Phoebe, with a smile on her face.

Paige stood up, "Look Prue this is not necessary"

Prue turned to the youngest, "Yes it is, she is dangerous Paige, she could kill you"

"Yeah, Paige go with Prue. I'm unpredictable and may very well be under the influence" Phoebe spat, "Do you know what you just assumed it was mine" Phoebe now shouted.

"Well Phoebe come on who's else would it be. I mean It isn't mine, Piper is it yours?"

For the first time Piper now spoke, "No, it isn't"

"Paige?" Prue asked.

Paige froze, Phoebe watched as her younger sister was practical chocking on her attempt at speaking. "Look, it's mine" Phoebe shouted. Paige lowered her head as Phoebe's words hit her hard, "It's my bottle. The almighty Prue was right. I'm out of here." With that Phoebe left.

Paige walked through the school corridor, it was now lunch and she had not seen Phoebe all day. She was feeling really bad and needed to get things sorted out. It was then that J put his arm around her, "Hay Paige...now you would not happen to know why your beloved Sister, is so pissed today?"

Paige turned to him, "Phoebe, do you know where she is?" Paige asked,

"Yeah, gym...doing weights..."

Paige nodded, "Thanks" And with that she ran off down the hall.

Phoebe was lay on the bench, lifting a loaded weight. Sweat pumping from her as she pumped up and down hared. Straining, pushing. Sat on the bench at the top of her end was Jamie, as she lifted it up and down he was there to make sure she didn't get hurt. Ready to catch the them if they fall.

"Phoebe, come on you have been at the weights for over half an hour now I think you should rest"

Phoebe shook her head, as she continued to lift the weight, "No. One thing you'll learn about me is that when I'm pissed I work out"

"Work out? Phoebe you are killing yourself" he said, worry evident.

"You know you really shouldn't worry, you'll wrinkle that Pretty face of yours" It was then that she lifted it one last time before placing it on the stand. Still laying on the bench she looked at the guy sat above her, a smile on her face, he bent down and kissed her lips, deeply, she placed her hand on the top of the white sports vest he was wearing and pulled him closer.

It was then that the doors opened and Paige walked in, at first she was shocked to see her sister making out with him, but then she remembered why she was here. Clearing her throat she made her presence known. Jamie shot up, and Phoebe also looked at where Paige was stud, "Hay guy's sorry to interrupt but...Phoebe can I talk?"

Phoebe sat up and turned to Paige, "I tell you what, go to dinner I'll meet you there I just have to sort this out"

Jamie nodded, "Okay, meet you in the cafeteria then" With this he stood up and made his way out the room.

When he had left there was a silence, Phoebe stood to her feet and looked at her baby sister, "Paige, seat now!" She commanded

Paige did as she was told and took a seat on one of the chairs in the room. "Phoebe i..."

"Yeah, I don't give a damn what you are...I'm talking. What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, I know I should have owned up I was just..."

Phoebe shook her head, "No Paige, that is not why I'm pissed at you. I'm pissed at you because we are friends and you never told me about this...What are you doing drinking?" Paige looked up at Phoebe, she thought that her big sister was angry at her but, she was concerned Paige could see this.

"Phoebe, it just happened. I was really stressed and me and Spencer had had a fight one night. I was totally pissed of with school and Spencer that I went home and drank some of the liquor we had...it helped. So I go a bottle off some kid I know, I just wanted to numb everything. I didn't mean for you to get in trouble."

Phoebe moved forward, "Paige I do not care about the trouble. You know me! I care about you. I am hurt because instead of coming to me you turned to drink. Why?"

"I was going to come to you last night Phoebe I swear, tell you everything but, Prue found the bottle and she assumed it was yours...I should have said something but I was just so..."

Phoebe knelt in front of Paige, "Prue doesn't need to know...Let me take the blame and in return you quit drinking and come to me with your problems."

"Why? Why are you taking the blame for me? Letting Prue be-little you when you do not deserve it?"

Phoebe took Paige's hand, "Because I think that you have enough to cope with right about now"

Paige lent forward and Pulled her sister into a hug, "I'm sorry"

"It's okay Paige just listen to me, Do not own up to anything. I do not care what Prue does to me, just do not own up to it. And lift a bottle again, I'll kill you. And mean it"

Paige shook her head, "No phoebe look I mean it...I want to tell prue"

"And I'm your big sis so let me worry about it. I'll take it Paige for you, but you promise never to drink again until you are old enough" Paige nodded.
