Chapter 7:Shattered

Disclaimer: I don't own charmed.

OK I have to apologise for last chapter I kinda got carried away! Just for Rwoe's benifit: I didn't thinkit was very porn-esque I thought it was kinda tatseful. Anyway it seems like Claire agreeed with you as shes been taking te piss out of me all week. (Grrr she is sooo dead!) People are going to start hating me soon, all I can say.

More months had passed and Piper and Leo were happier than ever. Piper was settled into college and was doing well and had managed to make friends. This was largely due to Leo's faith in her. Piper's best friend and room mate was Paige, she was taking a course in social care and they got on well. Piper was also glad to see that she got on with Leo. She hated her friends and boyfriends being constantly at eachother's throats like she had experienced previously.

"Hello" Paige said into the phone. "oh hey Prue yeah shes right here." She handed the phone to Piper

"hello?" she said to her sister who was clearly crying, so much that it was hard to make out her words. "Prue calm down honey, what happened?"

On the other line, Phoebe grabbed the phone away from Prue. "Andy broke up with her." Piper could still her Prue's sobs even though she wasn't actually speaking to her. "Yeah, I was thinking of having a bit of a sister day to cheer her up you know movies, more junk food than is acceptable for a healthy diet." She said quietly she didn't want Prue to think she was pitying her. Everyone knew how proud she was.

"Sure I'll be over in 15 minutes I'll stop by the store on my way"

The three sisters spent the day doing whatever they could to take Prue's mind off her lost love. Piper didn't know what she would do if she ever lost Leo. Lucky Phoebe wasn't in this position yet. They were singing songs and dancing but changing the lyrics.

"Thanks you guys." Prue said once the laughter had died down. "I really miss this!"

"What, being stupid, eating loads and man hating?" Phoebe asked sarcasticly.

"No!" Prue shot back throwing a pillow at her younger sister. "This, just hanging out together, being" she paused "sisters"

They shared the sentimental moment, smiling at eachother and collapsed into a big group hug.

"Aww I love you guys" Phoebe said putting on an accent that no one had ever heard of.

"where the hell are you meant to be from?" Piper asked laughing.

"Khazakstan of course. Don't they teach geography back in england or something?" she said as though it was obvious, trying to cover up how bad she sounded.

They were laughing so hard they didn't hear the doorbell until Grams had come in to tell them.

"Piper its Leo" Grams informed them.

"Uh oh we have an intruder. We must drive them away. Make them retreat the fort." Phoebe was impersonating charlies angels holding her fingers up like a gun.

Piper laughed and walked to see Leo.

"Oi you, this is a no guy zone. Look at Phoebe, shes thirsty for blood now any guy will do."

"Yeah I'm sorry I just really had to see you" he said sounding a bit dissapointed about something.

"Hey its okay he can come in, I'm okay now" Prue said walking out of the living room.

"Okay but we're about to watch a movie. You're welcome to join us" She said closing the door behind Leo and giving him a 'hello' peck on the cheek. She didn't want Leo to feel rejected but also didn't want to parade her love in front of her sister who had just lost that.

"Okay then you guys wait here me and Pippey will go and get the popcorn" Phoebe said dragging Piper into the kitchen.

"Why do I have to go? It doesn't take two to get a bowl"

"Well the whole day is for Prue and Leo is a guest but if you insist you don't need me" She said running out of the room and up the stairs. "I'm just going to phone Todd. Don't start the film 'til I get back"

Piper rolled her eyes and walked into the kitchen.

She walked back into the lounge but never expected what she saw. Prue and Leo sitting on the couch with their lips locked together. Without thinking she dropped the bowl of popcorn on the floor with the bowl breaking and shattered glass and popcorn spillinng all over the floor. She couldn't believe it. Were her dreams really shattered like the bowl that lay on the floor.

Leo pushed Prue off him and caught the look on Piper's face of pain and couldn't bear seeing her like this. Tears were now beginning to stream down her face and all she could do was run and hide and hope that it had all been a bad nightmare. She ran up the stairs to her bedroom trying to escape the image that still played in her mind.

I'm so sorry, needed to be done... it'll work out....... Possibly you will just have to read to find out. On the plus side I added a double meaning.... GO ME!!
