Part 31 - love hurts

Thanks for reading enjoy...totem

Piper burst through the doors to SFMH, with Paige in her arms who had buried her head into Piper's shoulder. Following behind Piper was Prue; all looked so scared and shocked.

Piper walked over to the nurses station, "Phoebe Halliwell, where is she"
"And you would be?" The nurse asked looking over her glasses at Piper, "I...I would be her sister." Piper answered her voice slightly raised due to the shear lack of care for their feelings. The nurse looked down to her computer screen, "Let's see...Halliwell? Halliwell?" Prue lost her patients and stepped forward, "Yes, Halliwell god damn it...where is our sister."
"Excuse me miss but I would like to remind you where you are...there are sick people here..."
"I do not need reminding...My baby sister is here and she may be dieing for all I know. So if possible I would like to know where I can find her" The nurse looked from sister to sister, eventually after looking into Prue's icy stare deciding that the best thing was to do as asked. "She's in room 112, right down the hall" Piper nodded, and walked away, Prue banged her hand on the desk, "I thank you for your co-operation" She stated sarcastically before following Piper.

Phoebe opened her eyes, the last thing she remembered was Dan, and pain, lots of pain, than Dan and Justin's lifeless body falling to the floor. She felt someone's head resting on her shoulder turning slowly she saw those eyes looking at her, his hand entwined with hers she knew she now had nothing to fear, she was safe. "Dean" She spoke groggy,
"Yeah baby it's me, how are you" he asked,
"I feel like I have just done fifty rounds in a ring" was the answer she gave, "I thought he was going to kill me" She spoke. "I'm sorry honey, really, really sorry"
"Don't be. We got it...it's over"
Dean nodded, "Yes we did...you got it for us" Phoebe nodded, "baby, I'm so tired..." He brought his hand and placed it around her waist, "You go to sleep then" He answered Kissing her cheek softly before resting his head back down on her.

Andy was sat outside of Phoebe's room, He had not had time to fully explain everything to Dean yet but that was not who he was fearing, it was the Halliwell sisters. Although they had grown up together he still found them so very intimidating. He felt guilty though and there was no way out of it, guilt was consuming him.

"Andy...What the hell..." Andy opened his eyes to see all three of the Halliwell sisters walking towards him. "Piper, Prue everything is okay"
"No Andy..." Prue began, "Everything is not Okay, because we are stood in a hospital told that our sister has been brought in and we are yet to get details. And things will not be okay until we understand everything and see her" Andy held up his hands, "Look I take full responsibility"
"For what?" Piper asked, "What is it that you are taking responsibility for?" Andy looked at Paige, "Hay slugger, I'm going to talk to Piper and Prue so how's about you go with Darrel..." Andy pointed across the hall to where his partner was, "And he'll get you a drink"
"Where's Phoebe?" The young girl asked,
"Sleeping, by the time that you get back she should have woken up" Piper lowered her to the ground, "It's okay, go on Paige...you'll see Phoebe soon"

Once Paige had left Andy looked back to the sisters, "How about we go somewhere" Piper and Prue just nodded then followed him into the relative's room. "So Andy how about you tell us exactly how this is your fault" Andy pushed his hand through his hair and turned to them, "I...Phoebe has been badly beaten, she was barely conscious when they had brought her in due to the drugs in her blood stream and the alcohol she has been admitted overnight to keep an eye on her"
"How?" Piper demanded,
"Dan" Andy answered, "She went undercover for SFPD..."
"What?" Prue shouted, "You let her do that?" Andy nodded, "Prue I swear to god it was full proof...there was no way I would have let her go if I had known that this would happen" Prue could not believe this, Piper looked at Andy, "what did he actually do to her?" She asked,

"I have not got to speak to her yet but, from what I have been told, he beat her up bad, and her hands look as though she has been tied up."
"How? I...you?" Piper was lost,
"Dan had someone working on the inside...that's how he found out that Phoebe was undercover. I'm so sorry" Piper stepped forward, "Andy you should never have let her do this...and you kept it from us."

The door into the hospital room slowly opened, Piper walked in followed by Andy and then Prue. As soon as they walked in they noticed Phoebe asleep and Dean next to her. "Dean" Piper asked, whispering so not to wake Phoebe, "But you and Phoebe you..." Dean sat up from the bed, "hay, I know it was all part of the undercover thing...Incase they checked it out...PROTECTION" Prue was absolutely discusted, "You lied to us as well?" She asked, "I'm sorry...it was"
"Did you all have a moment of stupidity, Two people that I'd trust anyone of mysisters life's with and my own is you two and both of you let Phoebe do this" Piper shot at them, "I was against It Piper" Dean said, "But...Phoebe said it was something that she had to do"

"What get herself killed?" Piper asked,
"No! save you guys and have my life back..." The answer came from across the room, everyone looked and saw Phoebe eye's open face a mess, a mass of cuts and bruises. Piper walked over, she place her hand on Phoebe's face, "Baby what did they do?" She asked, "Shit! Are you crazy? You could have died?" Phoebe nodded, "I know that, first off Andy never made me do anything I went to him...and second, it was all worked out I do not know what..." Before she could finish Andy jumped in, "He had a guy on the inside. Phoebe I'm sorry by the time we found out, we got there too late."

Phoebe held out her hand, Andy walked over and took it, "Andy, it's okay. I'm fine..." Andy looked at the floor, "Andy look at me. You did it. I have my life back"
"But how can you ever trust me again"
"Look, I'm alive and when I agreed to this I thought that that would be impossible."
"I told you I'd look after you...I failed."
"Nope...I'm alive. You succeeded and I lived through another Dan attack" Andy lent forward and hugged Phoebe, "I'm so sorry"
"Don't" She spoke forcefully, "You have nothing to be sorry for. You have been there through everything"

Andy stood up and nodded, "Okay, look you need your rest I will be here to see you tomorrow and if you have been realized I'll see you at the manor."
"I'm not going back to the manor..." She spoke, everyone but two in the room had a look of shock slapped on their faces, Phoebe looked at Dean, and then to the rest, "I'm moving into an apartment with Dean and J...The manor belongs to Prue. She is the oldest."
"Phoebe..." Piper began but felt Prue's hand stopping her.

"Phoebe you do not have to do that I know the truth...I'm sorry." She pulled the letter from her pocket, "I want my sister back. Can you ever forgive me?" Phoebe looked at the letter, "Prue you needed a letter to confirm that I have not tried it on with your man...and that he's the creep. That should answer your own question, Dean will be picking up my stuff." Piper couldn't believe this, "You are really leaving me?" She asked,
"I can not live in that manor Piper. It is not good for any of us."
"It's your home" Piper shouted,
"There are too many bad memories. I have to get away" Prue looked at the letter then at Phoebe, "Do not go! Phoebe I am so sorry" Phoebe shook her head, "not this time. It's over. We'll talk tomorrow." Prue just nodded, "I'm sorry" She said again before placing the letter on the side as she left the room.

Andy kissed the top of Phoebe's head and also left, only Dean and Piper were stood in the room, "phoebe, we'll talk about this tomorrow...right now Paige is out side can she"
"Yeah" Phoebe answered; Piper just nodded and left the room to retrieve the youngest.

Moments later and the door flung open, Paige came bounding in and jumped straight for Phoebe, dean lifted her up onto the bed and Phoebe hugged her, "Hay Slugger" Phoebe greeted holding Paige tight. Piper and Dean left the room giving Phoebe and Paige time to talk.

"You just went"
"I know I'm so, so sorry Paige. I didn't mean to hurt you." Paige started crying about ten minuets ago and was yet to stop, "I thought you hated me"
"No baby never, did you get the necklace?" Phoebe asked, Paige nodded and showed phoebe the necklace around her neck, "Good, you keep that and always remember how much I love you and when you have it on, I'm with you" Paige nodded, rested her head on Phoebe and both drifted off to sleep.

Piper walked in and saw her two little sisters asleep, she watched for a few minuets before deciding it was best that Phoebe rested, she walked over and slowly lifted Paige up out of Phoebe's arms, Phoebe stirred a little opening her eyes she looked at Piper, "hay"
"Hi sweetie, go back to sleep, I'll talk to you tomorrow!" Phoebe nodded, "Okay" With this she settled back to sleep.

As dean walked back into the hospital room he noticed the letter. Picking it up he began to read,

Phoebe,

You should know by now that I always win. Prue will know no different, I feel for you what I never could for her, just consider my proposal. Nobody ever has to know, just between you and me. That's it, nothing more than us.

Phoebe I love you. Because you are so free, just accept, that Prue means nothing...it's you I want. What do you say?

You know that I will get you, I always get what I want, and Do not tell Prue, because you know that I'll turn it around.

Dean was shocked, he really was a no good peace of crap. Phoebe was awake and she watched as he read, when he was finished she reached across, she took the paper form his hand, "Past Dean. It's the past and it's over. Tomorrow we start new."
"Phoebe why did you never show Prue this"
"Because I wanted her to believe in me, because she loved me. Not because of some stupid letter"
"Will you ever forgive her?" HE asked,
"I hope that I can Dean, but I'm not sure" Dean sat next to Phoebe on the bed took back the letter and screwed it up, throwing it to the side he smiled, "Nothing is going to stop us" Phoebe nodded, "and from tomorrow we can have a normal life" Phoebe smiled again, "Yeah, but right now I need to sleep" Dean understood, "I know and I will be right here all night"
"You do not have to"
"Yes I do, I spent the last two days wishing I could hold you, so I'm not leaving" Phoebe just took hold of his hand, "I love you" She spoke,
"I love you too"

Prue and Piper left the hospital, J accompanying them. "J have you got your car?" Prue asked, "Yeah. Why?"
"Can you take Piper and Paige back..."
"Why? Where are you going?" Piper asked,
"To have a little talk with my ex, and get me stuff back. Roger will pay..."
