"Grams, I haven't been happy lately. Actually, I haven't been happy for a while." Phoebe watched her grandmother's face; she couldn't tell what she was thinking just yet. "I...I...um...I've been cutting myself," Phoebe quickly confessed thrusting her scared arm in her grandmother's direction.
Grams didn't say anything. She just pulled Phoebe into a tight hug. The two stayed like that for a while. Grams finally broke the silence, "I think we should make an appointment to see someone." Grams never received a response, just the feeling of her youngest granddaughter nodding her head.
A couple of years later...
"Piper," Prue called out as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, what's up?" Piper asked her older sister as she turned to face Prue. "You look upset, honey. What's wrong?"
"Well, I was going through some old boxes and I found a couple of sketch books," Prue explained, showing Piper the books she found.
"Those don't look familiar. Whose books are they?" Piper asked, curious as to whom they belong to.
"I don't know, but I think they might be Phoebe's," Prue replied with fear in her eyes.
Piper asked the question she wasn't sure she wanted answered, "Prue, what's in those books?"
Prue didn't respond. She just handed one of the books to Piper while placing the other ones on the table. Piper took the book from Prue and began looking through it. She saw the most disturbing images every drawn. Everything was so dark and depressing. A lot of the things in the book were just colors and not concise pictures. Piper saw Phoebe's signature at the bottom of one of her pictures. "Prue," Piper called, getting the attention of her sister. Piper pointed to the signature. Prue saw it and gasped.
Since both Prue and Piper were so engrossed in the books, neither heard the door open. Phoebe walked through the front door. She called out to her sisters, who didn't respond. Phoebe made her way towards the kitchen.
Prue and Piper both jumped as Phoebe pushed open the kitchen door. Phoebe noticed that neither sister was looking well at the moment. It was then that she saw the book Piper was holding.
