Chapter 2- sisterly love

Piper stood in the kitchen and gazed out the window. Aside from her gloomy feelings, it really was a nice day outside. A good day to take the kids to the park. Seeing the boys happy always lifted her spirits.

"What are ya thinking about?" Phoebe asked as she came downstairs. Her hair was in a sloppy ponytail and she looked like she hadn't slept all night.

"Oh you know, the usual. Leo, the kids. Same old thing."

"Piper why don't you just talk to him?" Phoebe asked.

"I can't. It's like he's a different person. A year ago he would have been right here with me, watching Wyatt play or sharing a muffin, but now....he's just so distant."

"But maybe he needs you to reach out to him Piper. That could be the only way he'll ever come around. Wyatt and Chris deserve to have their father."

"Don't you think I know that?" Piper asked, a little defensive. "But it's going to take a lot more than just me to convince him to come back."

Phoebe put her arm around her sister and gave her a reassuring hug. "Well whatever you need you know I'm here for you."

"Thanks Pheebs," Piper said, noticing that Phoebe looked stressed herself. "What about you? Anything you need to talk about?"

"As much as I hate to say this, it's the same old thing with me too. You know I thought I was getting over Jason, but I was reading this letter and it sounded just like us. I realized that I couldn't give this person advice, because I need the advice just as much. It's stupid, I know."

"Aw, Phoebe, it's not stupid. You and Jason loved each other. It was real, you sensed that even before he did. Of course you're upset. The way he left had to be hard. Maybe you need to talk to him."

Phoebe looked at Piper with a disgusted look. "I've tried and every time the phone rings I hang up. I don't know what to say. I mean I can't just say, "hey Jason, I know I'm a witch, but we could still be together." He doesn't understand. To him, I'm some freak who says rhymes and makes things happen."

"A freak who says rhymes and makes things happen?" Piper said with a smile.

"You know what I mean!" Phoebe said with a little laugh. It was easier to laugh about her problems, that way she didn't really have to face them.

Just then the front door opened and closed. Phoebe and Piper looked at each other and then at the clock.

"Is that Paige?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know, but if it is she didn't come home all night. It's only six and there is no way Paige was up and out this early," Piper replied.

Paige was trying to sneak up the stairs without being seen, when she heard her sister's.

"Paige? Are you just coming home?" Phoebe asked.

"Uh, yeah, I had a late night," Paige said. She tried to keep her head turned in the other direction. Her eyes always swelled and got red after she cried, and she didn't want her sisters to see that she was upset.

"Where were you?" Piper asked.

"No where really. I just went for a drive."

"An all night drive?" Phoebe questioned.

Paige rolled her eyes. She was not good at lying to her sisters, but she didn't want to tell them where she had been. They had enought problems of their own, they didn't need to worry about her's as well.

"I just needed a night to myself," Paige said. "I'm gonna go to bed, it's been a long night. Wake me if you need me."

"Paige, look at me," Piper demanded. She knew when something was wrong with her baby sister, and she was not letting Paige off the hook.

"Why?" Paige questioned.

"Because I'm your big sister and I said so."

Reluctantly, Paige turned to face her sisters. She tried to put on a smile, but instead she just started crying again.

"Honey what's the matter?" Phoebe asked.

"Nothing," she replied. Paige hated showing her emotions in front of people, and she couldn't believe she had just broken down like that.

"Nothing doesn't cause you to cry," Piper said pulling her sister into a hug. "What is going on with you?"

"Come on, you can tell us," Phoebe said.

"Richard," was all Paige could say.

Piper and Phoebe looked at one another and then back to Paige.

"I thought I was over him, but I keep going past his house and I so badly want to see him."

"You know what guys, I think it's time we stop giving each other advice and we follow our hearts," Phoebe said.

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"I mean, you go talk to Leo, I'll go talk to Jason, and Paige, you go talk to Richard."

"I can't," Piper and Paige said at the same time.

"Look at us. We're a mess. We need to deal with our own lives before we can do anything good for anyone else," Phoebe said.

The sister's thought about it and decided Phoebe was right. How could they move on with their lives without confronting their feelings. With that said, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige set out to put the pieces of their lives back together.
