Closer to thee Part 35:
Hope?

--------------------

Piper was pacing back and forth in the hospital's corridor. Piper and Phoebe said on the bench next to them. Prue starred into nothingness, as she waited for Rodger to come to the hospital. Phoebe was sitting next to her was having a chewing gum. She blew bubbles with it and she chewed sound fully. It was driving Prue crazy
'why can't Rodger be once there, when I need him?'
She asked herself and another bubble of Phoebe made a little plop, as she exploded
"Goddess, could you two stop! Grams is alright!"
"Where form you wanna know?"
"I simply do. Now stop"
"Bite me"
"Nah thanks"
Prue returned and piper sat down next to her sisters a while as well. For a few minutes the three sisters sat in silence next to each other. Finally a man came up to them
"Prue?"
"Rodger!"
She said relieved. She got up and hugged him tightly. She just said Penny was fine. She had to stay strong for her sisters in that case. She couldn't admit, Penny might not be okay. Not now. Not until it was certain. But this here was something different. She wished for someone to hold her and assure her everything was alright already since they reached the hospital
"I'm so sorry"
Rodger told her. Prue just froze in his arms. This wasn't what she wanted to hear. It wasn't what she wanted to hear at all. Rodger sounded as if everything was over already, but it wasn't. Andy would have said something like, everything will be okay. She knew he would
'Andy...'
Prue thought once more. As soon as Rodger had arrived, the other two Halliwell fell back into their nervousness. Piper again started pacing and Phoebe chewing, while Prue and Rodger stood a bit upside. Piper kept starring down at the floor, not watching where she went, as she ran into some man. He was around the girls' age, around 6 feet tall, had dark brown hair and green eyes. He had a hot mug with coffee in his hands what spilled right away all over Piper
"Oh, I'm... sorry"
"Oh... no... don't be... it was my fault."
The man right away tried to clean her up
"Umm... no... leave it, I'm okay... but... you ... your coffee...
"Oh... don't worry..."
Piper ignored him
"Umm... how about we go to cafeteria and I get you a new one?"
"That's really not necessary"
"Yes it is. Phoebe... you coming?"
"Where?"
"Cafeteria"
"Nope"
"Prue... I'm in cafeteria"
Piper yelled. Prue looked over to her and nodded. Then her and the guy left for the cafeteria.
