Thank you all so much for all the great reviews, I hope this next chapter lives up to your expectations.
Chapter 4
"NO, NO, this can't be happening Prue said out loud as she ran to her sister's side. "Please Paige, she began as she knelt down taking the girls' hand. Don't go, I need you to stay with me, you can't leave me, not again." Out of nowhere the images of her mother leaving the house with Paige in hand never to return again, came flooding back to her. She could see herself on her knees begging and pleading with her mother to keep her little sister with her, with her family where she belonged. She was so lost in thought that she didn't hear a word that the paramedic was saying. All she knew was that she refused absolutely positively refused to lose her sister again, not now, not ever. "Miss, Miss, if we are going to help your friend, we're going to need you to move," the man finished. That was it. She was sick of letting everyone else decide who she would be in her sister's life. Things were about to change and it would start with this bastard. "SHE'S NOT MY FRIEND, SHE'S MY SISTER, AND I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. She didn't care who heard. The secret that never should have been was out and there was no turning back. Looking at her with an apologetic stare, the man spoke once more, "ok, ok, it's ok. We have to get her into the ambulance if we're going to save her. We're just going to put this neck brace on and then I'm going to put her on that stretcher" the man spoke in a soft tone trying not to set Prue off. He was met with an ice cold stare, then she slowly moved away not taking her eyes off her sister's temporary care taker. After a few seconds Paige was all set and they moved her into the ambulance with her older sister right by her side.
"Get her into OR 4 stat!" the doctor shouted before headed off to get prepared. Prue was now crying uncontrollably. She was praying that this was just a nightmare and that any minute now she was going to wake knowing that Paige was probably at home safe in bed. But deep down inside she knew that this was real. Next thing she knew the doctor was shoving papers in her face for her to sign, while asking about Paige's medical history. Luckily Prue made it a priority to know this information just in case something like this was to happen. If she couldn't be in her sister's life then damn it she would know every single detail of the girls' life. She slightly smiled remembering seeing Paige with her family, not looking so well at the play ground one day. After getting into hearing distance she heard Paige's care takers (this is what she always called then because they were NOT her family, she and her sister's were) say that she needed to go to the hospital. Once they said where they were taking her Prue sprung into action, she knew that she had to be near her sister in her time of need. So she told her Grams that she wasn't feeling too well and insisted that she take her to the hospital. Once Grams stepped out to get her some water she leaped from her bed to search for Paige. Upon finding the room she heard the doctor say that the girl had the flu and that he would be right back with her release papers. When he came out Prue asked him to help her find her Grams. The doctor was more then willing to help. But first he had to make a stop at the nurse's station. He then asked Prue to hold his file while he spoke over theloud speaker to try and locate her Grams. She believed that the doctor thought that if she felt important then she will not panic and start crying. Whatever the reason Prue saw this as the perfect opportunity. When she saw her Grams she immediately ran to her slipping Paige's file into her coat, then running off with her Grams before the doctor could even notice. Now she knew where those people where keeping her sister and she could keep track of her with no problem. She was definitely a girl who knew how to get what she wanted. "Don't worry, the doctor started. We'll do everything we can" with that the doctor took the papers giving them to the nurse and heading back in to Paige.
"Come on it won't take that long to redeliver, Piper Halliwell spoke into the phone. "Yes I will definitely be here waiting for you this time. Ok, and thanks again, bye" thank goodness she said as she hung up the phone. It had been one hell of a morning at the club. She had missed the shipment that caused her to run 3 red lights that morning, now two of her employees are out again. She just hoped that Phoebe was available to help her tonight. While typing up some ideas for the club she stopped dead in her tracks. Something didn't feel right. Not only did it not feel right, but something was horribly wrong. "Ah" she screamed out in pain. Her heart felt as if it was being ripped from her body. What the hell is going, she thought. She had been experiencing some weird emotions as of late. Or maybe it was Prue's feelings that she was picking up on, after all they have always had a very strong connection. It could even be Phoebe. That's when the picture of the girl she had met the other night at the club popped into her head. Who was she? And why did thinking about her bring her so much pain all of a sudden?
"Oh come on, you know how much you want to come see me" Phoebe said as continued talking on her cell phone to Justin. "Listen I have to go, yeah, I'm about to start driving, so I'll call you when I get home, Ok? Alright, I'll talk to you later, bye." She couldn't believe how great her day had been going. After a day of shopping and lunch with friends she was finally heading home for a nice long bath and some relaxation before going out for dinner and dancing with her latest conquest. Then out of nowhere she started to panic. Something didn't feel right. Tears started to form in her eyes. Why is this happening? Then her mind went to the birthday girl from last night. She didn't know what to make of this, but her heart did. It broke for the girl as much as it longed for her. The ringing of the cell phone snapped her out of her trance. "A weak hello was all she could say. "Did you see her too?" the other voice asked. "Yeah but who is she and why do I feel the need to be with her?" "I wish I knew Phoebe, I wish I knew" Piper responded.
While sitting in the waiting room Prue could think about nothing but her sister who was in the operating room fighting for her life. This can't be good; she's been in there for 3 hours. It was then that she caught sight of the doctor heading her way. "Your sister is stable now and we're going to move her to ICU, you can go sit with her once she's situated. "Ok, thank you doctor" she said in a low whisper. Her thoughts shifted once more. She was so happy last night, she thought. Laughing and smiling with friends on her birthday. Life is so unfair especially to Paige. First to be separated from her family as a baby and now, to possibly die so young, no...no...no it won't end like this, she would make sure of it. "Miss Halliwell, you can see your sister now" the nurse called to her. Finally, she thought I get to be close to her, be there for her, like a real sister should be. With that Prue started down the hall towards Paige's room.
