Part 21
About two hours after originally leaving the manor, he had taken Paige to the park and met some of his mates they had all played a game of football, he wasn't up to playing he was still deeply, hurt upset and concerned about Phoebe but he had seen that it had gotten Paige's mind off of things so he decided best to stay.
He held the ball to his chest as he charged between two guys, who ran towards him, taking a step right he dodged one only to find the other dive at him taking him to the floor. They wrestled a bit longer until finally Dean gave the ball up, the game continued as he lay on the floor, looking up at the sky, "Hay old man, squirt over there is playing better than you." His friend laughed as he watched Paige tackle a guy that towered above her to the ground. Dean also laughed. "Yeah well squirt was taught by the best, you've seen Phoebe play" The guy could not agree more, "Now that's one man beast" HE laughed referring to Phoebe, "Hay man that's my girl..."
"Hay she is all a girl, you know she's like my sister." Dean laughed and he got to his feet, "Yeah, I know...Remember the simple days before she met Dan, before she'd show up with her face punched in..."
"Sure do! She's tough Dean she'll get through it." Dean nodded, "I hope your right J, I rally do."
Dean and J started walking toward the bench at the side as Paige continued to play, or from how it looked wrestle with the other guys, they were good sports, and let Paige tackle them and score. Dean watched for a bit longer then turned to J, "Dean, remember this is the same Phoebe who in eighth grade kept playing baseball after been hit over the head with the bat, three times, after having a full on brawl with the bowler and after been taken down by the kid three years older than her, no matter how tired, hurt or pissed off she always runs for home, and one thing you should remember is that she'd always make it." Dean smiled at his analogy, but then the smile faded, "J man, I look at her and I feel something that is deeper than anything I have ever felt...she's more to me than just some girlfriend...Do you know what it's like to see her so hurt and she wont let me help her."
"Dean, or girl never lets anyone help, she puts up some kind of barrier and the only way to get through it is to let..."
"PRUE!" Dean said,
"No man...not this time, I mean with what you have told me about the fight they had I think you should let Piper..." Dean looked at J, "No man there is Prue, with that no good son of a bitch" Anger shot through him as he looked on at the couple, Roger had his arm around Prue and she was leaning into him, he got up and headed towards them, J followed, "Man I don't think that this is a good idea, your angry man your hurt..."
"Damn right I am and it's because him..." J knew Dean had to do this, he couldn't stop him, only follow and pray that he could stop him from doing anything stupid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"Hay, yeah you!" Dean shouted, both Roger and Prue turned around to face Dean and J, "You thought I wouldn't catch up with you?" He screamed, Roger looked at him, his face a mass of now fading bruises and his face a heap of cuts. "Dean" Prue's voice echoed,
"You're a coward you know that...and I swear if it was up to me, id do a whole lot more damage than what Phoebe did..." J took hold of Dean's arm and tried to pull him back but Dean pulled free and advanced on Roger, "Man, it's not worth it...squirt don't need to be seeing this"
"Look mate..." Roger's cold professional voice sounded, before he could continue Dean jumped in, "Who you calling mate?" He shouted, "I ain't your mate"
"Dean back off" Prue shouted, Dean looked at Prue, "She needs you Prue, she really needs you"
"Well she should have thought about that before she tried it on with Roger, before she beat him up and before she pulled a knife on my fiancé"
"Fiancé?!?" Dean was shocked, Prue nodded, "We are getting married Dean, and there is nothing that that bitch can do to break us apart."
"Prue deep down you know she did nothing, you just don't want to look like a fool, well this guy's taking you for one..." Roger jumped in protecting either himself or Prue, "Look man, just leave us alone...if you bother us again I'll reconsider pressing charges on her for threatening behaviour and I'll even go for Attempted murder." Dean grabbed Roger by the collar, "Don't threaten me" Dean shouted, J was quick enough to grab Dean before he did anything...

Piper knocked on the door to Phoebe's bed room there was no answer so she just walked in. Phoebe was lay looking up at the ceiling hand on her stomach and the other one holding something. "Phoebe can I talk"
"No talking, we had this convocation"
"Yeah about that, I don't give a damn; things can not keep going on like this" Phoebe never moved, never spoke, a tear fell Piper saw this.
She slowly made her way over to the bed and sat on the end of it, "What makes you think that I'll talk?" Phoebe's words held no emotion,
"I know you'll talk because I know you, and you are cracking up...TALK!" There was silence for a further few seconds when Phoebe finaly did talk, "I...I always wondered what would push me away from this family...I never thought that It'd be Prue"
"She has not pushed you away" Phoebe who was still looking towards the sky spoke again, "I didn't touch him. I never touched Roger"
"You do not have to tell me this, I know." Piper reassured her sister, "Phoebe, you may not be ready to talk to Dean, or Paige but please talk to me...You always used to tell me everything what happened to us?"
"I don't want to talk Piper..." Phoebe turned her head, "Just lie with me" Piper's heart broke and for the first time in ages Phoebe had let her guard down.
Piper lay down and scooted over next to her little sister; she lay so close that there was no gap between them Phoebe was now looking at the roof again Piper put her arm around Phoebe's head, "I love you Phoebe. I'm just worried."
"I know that" Phoebe closed her eyes, "I know" Piper just lay and watched as her baby sister fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Piper watched Phoebe sleep, for a good hour and a half Phoebe was exhausted, Piper noticed what ever Phoebe was holding in her hand had dropped to the sde, she reached across slowly and carefully so not to wake her.
Lifting the Paper piper brought it over to her and looked intently at it, "not a big deal" the voice cut into her thoughts, Piper tore her vision away from what she held and looked across at Phoebe's sleepy eyes, Piper looked back at the photo, "You...You think about him?"
Phoebe shook her head, "I think about what I used to have..."
"He hurt you?" Piper spoke Phoebe nodded her head, "Yeah, I idolized the guy Piper...not something that goes away"
"I wish that i was around more...when he..." Phoebe jumped in before Piper could say anymore, "I don't Piper...you still have the memories of a Dad Piper, I pray every night for those memories, don't wish them away."
"I would give them up to make you happy" Piper informed the younger sister,
"I know that, I know that you would, but Dad died the night he first hit me, any memories of my Dad died that night. You know what I had with dad, the constant following him around, that was a guy that I loved I looked up to, a guy I wanted to be." Piper looked at Phoebe, "Was it the same with Prue?" she asked, "Losing Prue has not sunk in yet, I really can not think about that." Piper nodded,
"Phoebe, talk to me about how you ended up getting stabbed"
"Piper you've helped me open up but I think that it's too early for that..." Piper understood no matter how frustrating it was she had to respect Phoebe. "What about Dean and Paige?"
"I'll speak to Paige tomorrow and Dean..." Phoebe shrugged, "I don't know"
"Well he's a good one, you need to hold onto him." Phoebe looked over at Piper, "I'm sorry Piper, for what ever has happened, or how I act or what I do."
"Don't be Phoebe, just please talk to the police"
"No" Phoebe was firm, "I need to sort this out in my own head first." Piper lent across and hugged Phoebe, Phoebe found it hard to show emotion, but she felt comfort from Piper.

Dean had been dragged away form roger and was now coming out of the take away with a bag of food, J was sat in the car with Paige and as Dean walked towards it he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned around to face the person and when he did see who it was the stance turned defensive, "What wrong Dean a bit nervy?"
"Dan"
About two hours after originally leaving the manor, he had taken Paige to the park and met some of his mates they had all played a game of football, he wasn't up to playing he was still deeply, hurt upset and concerned about Phoebe but he had seen that it had gotten Paige's mind off of things so he decided best to stay.
