Closer to thee Part 39:
The plan to leave

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

Phoebe was lying with her friend Gillian on the floor. None of them said a word. Gillian didn't know what to say and Phoebe didn't really want to speak. She knew she'd just start crying again if she'd talk again about it. She felt so worst and had cried the whole night. Gillian looked from time to time up at her
"Phoebe?"
"Yeah?"
Phoebe said, her voice below a whisper
"You know... I'm gonna drive on Saturday evening to New York."
"Yeah"
"How about... I mean, you said you didn't want to come with us, cause of... of your grandma... but now... this... problem... is... kinda... you know... solved..."
"Yeah"
Phoebe said again
"I won't be able to be there for you here, you know that, right?"
"Yeah"
"How... how about you just come along?"
"I... Gillian... I don't have the... the money..."
"Then I lend you some. you can pay it back to me as soon as we arrived in New York and we both got a job..."
"Yeah"
"Sooo... you coming along?"
Phoebe just nodded slightly
"I just... want to go to the funeral... okay?"
"Okay... I'm coming with ya, anyway"
Phoebe just nodded, as some tears again spilled from her eyes again. Gillian just moved closer to her again and pulled her into a tight hug

AN:
anna: yeah... I know hated that part too, but oh well... I can#t make him decide differently, cause if he would decide for friendship, he'd go to Prue, and it's not time yet ;). Well, as you said, he'll try. He'll try very hard, but he won't make it ;)

Peanut2lb: well, I thought, Grams was the last oen to keep the family together. The alst one to help her watch or the little ones, so to call, and now that she's gone it's kinda very hard on her. especially since Penny was like a mom to her. otherwise... somewhen you have to let everything out. And since she can#t do it with her sisters... she at elats can do so with Rodger. And, yeah well, he'll go, for sure. Like anna said already, as if he could forget about Prue ;)

Faith: thanxs for the great compliment. I feel honoured, that someone talks about me that way
