Closer
to thee Part 43:
Handling
--------------------
As
everyone finally had left the Manor again, the girls were left alone
with their thoughts. Each of them needed a bit time alone. So each of
them simply stayed in her room. Piper was the first to come out. She
wanted to grab herself something to drink, but as soon as she was out
of her room, she was somehow pulled towards the place, her
grandmother died. She stood there for several minutes starring at
the spot, seeing her grandmother's body again laying there.
Finally her eyes wandered upstairs, to the attic door.
'What did
she want up there?'
She thought as she looked the stairs back
down again. Suddenly her eyes stopped at a tiny red bottle lying on
the steps. She walked up a few steps and picked the little bottle up.
Her eyes wandering up to the attic door again.
"Hey."
Piper
hears Prue and turns around
"Hey."
Piper
answered lowly, sniffling to suppress her tears
"You okay?"
Prue
asked her in a gentle and worried voice. Piper just bit her lip and
sat down. She started to play with the bottle in her hands
"I'm...
I'm not really. I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with this,
Prue."
Piper told her and then inhales heavily.
"I mean,
not just losing her, it's the thank yous for the funeral visitors and
the doctors and the lawyers... and there's nobody left to help
us."
Piper told her, her voice cracking
"At least the
funeral today was really beautiful. The roses and lilies were a great
idea"
Prue told her. Piper just nodded and then looks down to
the floor, as she started to cry
"She would've liked what you
said."
Piper told her. Prue just put a tiny smile on as reply
and then looked down
"Thanks."
Prue said as a minute of
silence passed.
"I know that this is gonna sound strange but...
do you think that she heard?"
Prue asked as she broke the
silence
"Yeah.
Yeah, I think she did."
Piper started seriously cry now, so Prue
finally moved up the stairs and laid her arms around Piper, as she
sat down next to her
