Part 8
Prue and Phoebe sat together for over an hour, Phoebe just cried into the arms of her older sister. Prue had never seen Phoebe so broken up, so hurt, so emotionally lost. She did all she could, held her, she was there for her, it would not make up for the times she wasn't there but, at least she had the chance now.
Phoebe stopped cry and was now just lay in her arms, in the silence Prue was sure she could here her praying, 'Phoebe's not the praying kind, she's not really one to have faith, she's more of a, if I see it its real, if I can't its not gal. I always liked that and hated that about her at the same time, I mean she was so focused, grounded, sometimes I'd envy that, look up to her, but other times I'd wish she'd be a little optimistic, go for gold so to speak.' Prue suddenly realized that the youngest was asleep, Prue slowly lifted her head and placed it on the couch, laying her down, careful not to wake her she covered her with a blanket and kissed her for head, Then she looked at her face, the bruising where Prue had punched her had started to fade no, but, still visible in some light, "God I hit you hard. I'm sorry baby" She whispered before leaving Phoebe sleeping on the couch.

She eyes slowly opened, her head hurt, her eyes stung and her heart ached, she pushed back the blanket and sat up, pushing her hands through her hair she finally found that spot on the floor again, it hadn't changed, why wood it, she'd only been asleep, for a few hours at the most, maybe she was hoping it would change, hoping every aspect of her life would.
She felt his hands rest on her shoulders as he sat behind he, parting his legs she was sat between them, she fell back against his chest as he rubbed her shoulders, 'Well all but one.' She thought, "You okay?" He asked,
"Yeah..." She stopped, "no not at all."
Dean held her tight, "Well your sisters are eating there dinner..."
"Dinner?" She asked, Dean nodded, "Yeah, you've slept for a good four hours." He informed, "Damn, I'm sorry..."
"What for?" He asked,
"For leaving you...what have you done for four hours?" She asked,
"Well I played football with Paige, I played soccer with Paige, I played Baseball, basket ball and what could be classed a wrestling with Paige."
"Did she beat you?" Phoebe asked,
"Every time, what is it with her?" Phoebe shrugged, "Why did you teach her so many sporting activities?" he asked,
"Oh...baby, are you worn out?" Phoebe asked sarcastically, "well how about I get you some food and we can eat with my sisters?"
"Sounds great?" He smiled, moving his arms so that Phoebe could stand up, once stood up she turned and took Dean's hands pulling him to his feet, once her was stood up her wrapped his arms around her waist, "Every thing's going to be okay?" he said, "You can move on." Phoebe looked into his eyes, "How?"
"By putting it behind you" He said, "Start a fresh, me and you, new, lets forget our past" Phoebe smiled, something telling me it's not that simple."
"Okay, obviously it isn't, what I'm saying in my own wired twisted way is that I'm here for you, all that matters to me is you."
"I appreciate that, I really do." Dean smiled and pulled her into him, placing his lips against hers.
Phoebe pulled back and smiled, she looking into his eyes, "I love you" She spoke,
"I love you too." He returned, then he took her hand and she rested her head, which was still pounding on his shoulder, both walked through to the kitchen.
When they entered to room both Prue and Piper looked up, the concern was clear, phoebe just nodded her head, Prue was the first to speak, "Did you get some sleep?"
"Yeah, I did thanks." Piper felt the need to bring normality back to the house, for now, both sisters needed it she could tell, "Dinners on the table, dig in." Phoebe smiled and her self and Jason made there way to the table, Phoebe taking a seat next to Paige and Opposite Piper, and Dean, next to Phoebe and across from Prue.
Their meal was coming to an end, as each placed there knifes and forks down they begun to talk, "Phoebe, I beat Dean at wrestling, after you showed me that move, I pinned him..." Phoebe smiled, as she felt Dean take her hand under the table that was resting on her knee, "Really, I hared you killed him in soccer too."
"Yeah she did, six to nothing."
"I slaughtered you!" Paige exclaimed happily, "Phoebe can we go to the park tonight."
"Sorry honey, I have some stuff to do tonight, maybe tomorrow"
"Sure." Paige agreed placing her hand out and reaching for the glass of water.
Prue struggled for convocation, "Roger's coming over tonight?" Phoebe's hand tightened around Dean's, he noticed this and looked at her, finding that she was avoiding speaking and an uncomfortable silence was occurring he decided to speak, "He your boyfriend?" HE asked, "Yeah, we have been going out for over six months." Prue answered, Phoebe's hand was gripping his tighter be each passing minuet, so he decided to change the subject, "So are you a chef Piper?" He asked,
"Me?" She seem surprised, "Know...I work in a bank...this is just a hobby"
"Well you should think about going Pro. You are great."
"Thanks" She sounded shocked, although her sisters had said it but it was the first time someone else had.
Phoebe looked over at Prue, who was looking at Piper, "What time is he coming?" She asked, Prue turned her attention to Phoebe, "Who...Roger?" She asked, Phoebe nodded, "Yeah."
"Emm...I think about eight thirty!" Phoebe nodded, 'Great' she thought 'that means that he'll be here at eight fifteen, so predictable, so reliable, so trustworthy...that's what Prue thinks...I need to talk to Dean'
