Back together, or not? Part 7:
Moving can be very stressful
A week later in the manor some men of a moving-help carried boxes up the front steps and into the foyer. A whole lot of furniture was already placed in Prue's and Piper's new rooms.
Prue was in the solar, reading and studying some wedding magazines. She wanted everything to become perfect and that way she started to plan things already months ago.
Phoebe was in her room, listening to some music, which seemed to get louder and louder by the minute. Every time the volume was up that loud, everyone preferred staying away from her room, not even wanting to know, what she was doing once again.
Piper was at the exactly same time, hunting once again after Penny, who followed every step of the moving-helpers.
"Damn it, Grams! The doctors said no stress! Just leave the moving things to me and Prue!!"
Piper told Penny as they once again went up the stairs after the men. Penny didn't respond to her right away, instead she went for Phoebe's door, banging against it
"Phoebe!!! Could you do me the favour and finally turn that idiotic music down!"
Penny yelled and instead of a response, the volume was turned down, at least a little. Penny sighted in relief. She hated this kind of music. Through Piper's and Prue's music, she survived, but she wasn't so sure how she would survive Phoebe's favourite kind of music. Penny then turned around to Piper
"No, Piper, I won't leave it to the two of you, because you don't even watch those guys at all! They could steal or break something and you wouldn't even notice it!"
Penny finally answered Piper as they again went downstairs, as Penny again followed the men.
"Grams..."
Piper started again to argue with her grandmother as they were downstairs again. But she couldn't really start her speech, as one of the men went up to them as well
"Those were the last boxes, miss..."
"Halliwell"
Piper told the guy. She was slightly annoyed, as she had told him that at least 20 times already. Another thing, which drove her crazy, was Penny. She acted like a little child and Piper had all hands full with going after her and making sure, she wasn't doing anything, she actually shouldn't. Piper didn't know how this all should work out as soon as she was back to work. Piper just tried to thank the guys and say goodbye to them, as the music upstairs went dead. Seconds later Phoebe was coming down the stairs
"No running inside the house, Phoebe"
Penny told her and again got no real answer of her youngest granddaughter
"I'm out!"
Phoebe yelled. She didn't stop running as she hurried for the front door
"Waaaait a second, my dear! Where to? And what's that bag supposed to mean?"
"it's supposed to mean, that I'm going out and will sleep over at Jen's, as I definitely won't stay with mister perfect in one house!"
"Are you kidding me? You don't seriously think I allow you to stay for weeks or even months at Jennifer's!"
Penny told her as the moving-helpers were passing the two of them with a short 'bye'.
"Why not? I don't even wanna see Prue's bastard once. I don't wanna fight with Prue. Especially not because of him and especially not now, that you need all the rest you can get!"
Phoebe yelled at Piper and Penny
"Phoebe... Rodger's not that bad!"
Piper tried to get her sister to stay, with talking some sense into her
"No... naturally not..."
Phoebe told Piper ironically, only continuing the sentence in her thoughts
'At least not, if he didn't fuck you'
Prue heard the voices in the hall and got up. She went slowly and listening carefully to the hall. She heard pretty much everything they said about Rodger and then stood, trying to stay calm in the doorway.
"First of all: don't calmly my fiancé bastard. I don't like your 'perfect' friends as well and don't call them bastards. Second: Grams doesn't want you to go, so you stay. End of story. Third: if you just leave cause of Rodger, I'm gonna tell him not to come over anymore. I'm gonna got to his apartment, when we wanna go out. And don't even think I do all of that for u. I do it for the freedom in this house and for Grams' health. But definitely not for you."
Prue said coolly and also coldly. Then just simply grabbed a few boxes, which had her name written on it and went upstairs
"Do it for Grams"
Piper pleaded after her and Phoebe had followed Prue with their eyes.
"Could you stop? I'm okay for god's sake!"
"Grandma!"
Piper said, starting to argue once again. Phoebe just used the time Piper and Penny were distracted to leave the manor.
As Piper and Penny heard the door, they stopped to argue immediately. Both of them sighted heavily. No matter what you said to Phoebe, it had no use.
"How about I make us a nice, healthy and yummy dinner?"
Piper asked looking at Penny
"How about I help you"
"That's mean Grams... You know exactly I'd say no, as you actually should lay down for a while...."
"But you on the other hand, love to cook with me..."
Penny said smiling
