Together – Forever! Part 7:
Facing the truth

--------------------

Prue and Andy went together outside and breakfasted
"You wanna go for a little walk?"
Andy asked after kissing Prue once again
"Yeah… sure… just let me get dressed"
Prue told him, smiling sweetly. Andy smiled back and leaned over the table to peck her once more. Prue after a few pecks finally got up and got dressed, while Andy kept looking out at the sea. They needed to talk about the dreams and memories Prue kept bottled inside… but he just didn't know where to start. Prue returned to the table and looked at him
"You coming?"
Andy didn't respond because he was too deep in his thoughts
"Honey?"
Prue asked, as she walked over to him and sat down on his lap
"Umm… what?"
Andy asked, getting pulled out of his thoughts
"We wanted to go for a walk, remember?"
"Yeah… sorry…"
Andy said smiling and pecked her. Then pushed her gently form his lap and got up as well. Prue just glanced worried at him. She wasn't sure what to make of his reaction. But she didn't say anything just yet. Especially not after Andy kissed her deeply, and they locked hands to go for the walk. They walked in silence for a few minutes, but then both started at the same time
"Prue" / "Andy"
Both smiled and looked for a second down at the sand. Prue was the first to find her speech back
"What's wrong?"
"What do you mean? What's should be wrong?"
"You tell me…"
"Nothing's wrong…well not that I know of…"
Andy answered her
"Well, then what were you thinking about, when I changed… you didn't react on me at all, you know?"
Andy sighted and Prue smiled slightly
"See, knew there was something wrong…"
"Yes… there actually is… but not with me…"
"What… what do you mean? You have news from my sisters? Are… are they okay?" Prue asked stopping to look at him
"No, I don't know about your sisters, but I know about you"
Prue looked away, let go of his hand and turned away from him. Andy simply sighted and looked at her back for a few seconds, then walked closer to her again and wrapped his arms gently around her waist. Prue right away relaxed in his arms. There she was home and comfortable. Safe and secure.
"I… really don't want to make you suffer with forcing you into talking… but, baby, we really need to talk… I promised you to stay here as long as necessary… but… we're already almost 2 weeks here… your sisters don't have a chance against shax without the power of three…"
Andy told her gently
"I know… but… it's… so hard… I… I wake up… and… you… you are not there… and suddenly… I see before… my inner eye your… crushed… body… on… on the floor… and the coffin… I hear your last words… and… it's… just… just so hard to… to really know, you're there… I'm finally used to the thought of you… being… dead… and suddenly you're back… I know it sounds… stupid… but…this… this is too good to be true..."
Prue told him, starring out at the sea
"I'm used to get… punishments from them… I'm used for them to take people from me… I'm used to loose something… to get hurt… but this time… I… didn't make it… I… I mean… I really screwed up… and got me and Piper… nearly… killed… and suddenly… they give me something this big… I always just expect… them to somehow… punish me now though… I don't know how… or with what… and that's… what… I simply don't get…"
Prue told him Andy just kept silent and listened to her while crawling her hands. Andy then noticed, Prue was unable to speak more… and he leaned a bit forward, over her shoulder and kissed her temple the gentlest way he could
"I'm there… I'm not going anywhere… I'm not gonna leave you… I'm seriously here…"
Andy told her and then turned her around in his arms, grabbed her face in his hands and lifted it up so he could look into her eyes
"I'm not playing with you… they're not playing with you… I AM there and I won't leave you… ever again…"
He told her, starring into her eyes, as she did the same. Prue swallowed and tried to look away. But Andy didn't let her. Normally, she would just distract herself with something else. But this time she couldn't. She wasn't used to this high grade of emotions and she couldn't handle them at the moment, but Andy forced her into handle them
"I love you"
Andy told her. Prue smiled slightly, bit her lip and closed her eyes tightly, a tear slipping from her eye. She opened her eyes again and searched his eyes again
"I love you too"
She told him, her voice barely above a whisper, her smile growing wider. Andy smiled back and kissed her just once very deeply. When he finally broke the kiss he wrapped his arms tightly around her and held her close to him
"I'm there…I'm not gonna go anywhere… never again… I'll stay at your side… I promise…"
Andy continued to whisper some of those words into her ear, while Prue just listened to his voice and slowly the sensation washed over and she finally realized it was true. Everything was.

AN:
thanxs for all the reviews!!! And here my famous comments come:

Peanut: I know… I really want to see myself handling this as well… but Paige first has a mission, befor etehy can return, but I promisse it#s not gonna last long anymore. Unfortunalety, there will be a lot of trouble, when they get bak, as well… so don't be too thrilled when they finally get back…

Prue AnD Andy: I know they're the best… and I love them together and writing them together is the easiest way to write everything that's also why I stll keep them for a few more days at the beach ;) buuut I alos have to disappoint you a bit about the updating soon. I have stressful days and really can't tell if I'm seriously able to update often and much… especially when we're now leaving the ebach for a bit more…

Faith: thanks for your great review. I always Hope, I can make my stories seem real and as weird as it sounds, but I think it works best, when I write Prue/Andy moments… as weird and stupid it May sound…

Last but not least: next chapter will be back to the manor :(
