Chapter 6

Holding back her tears and shrugging off Phoebe's comforting hand that was placed on her shoulder, Prue was making her way up the stairs.

"Prue?"

"I'm getting change for work as I'm going to be late." Phoebe was about to call out for her again, but stopped herself when she heard the slamming of the door.

Piper just laid on top of her bed, looking at the ceiling she felt bad about what she said to Prue but couldn't understand her sudden change, Prue had always promised that she would stand by her no matter who she choose. What changed her mind? She heard the slamming of Prue's door sighing with relief that she didn't come to check on her, as she knew that it would only end up in a heated argument both of them will say hurtful things that can't be taken back.

She made the right choice, she knows she did what can't Prue understand that? Sighing she turned over to her side clutching her pillow and drifted off to sleep.

Prue was changed in a matter of minutes, and made her way downstairs and out the door without a word goodbye to Phoebe.

Phoebe came out of the kitchen hearing the front door slam, sighing she was hoping to have a talk with Prue before she had left but knowing how stubborn and mad her sister was right now she would have to save the conversation till later on.

Looking up the stairs she took a deep breath and made her way up them to have a talk with Piper regardless whether she's asleep or not.

"PIPER! Get up, now!" Phoebe shouted, pulling the bed covers aside. "Come in" Piper replied sarcastically and threw her a dirty look. "What the hell was that all about downstairs? You were way out of order saying that to Prue."

Piper returned her answer with the shrug of the shoulders. "What? It was the truth, they broke up because of it and then he died. Don't even get me started on mum and dad." Not a hint of remorse was detected in her voice; Phoebe felt the anger building up inside her body. "I know you're mad at me Pheebs, but truthfully I don't care I want happiness in my life. Leo and I can't be together because it's not in 'their' rules. Dan may not be able to understand it all, so that's why I'm not going to tell him and why I'm going to strip my powers and give them to you."

Phoebe anger had now turn to shook Piper had finally been pushed over the edge. "Piper..."

"Don't Piper me Phoebe you can't talk me out of it. I made up my mind and I'm sticking to it."

"But Piper..."

"No buts Phoebe, it's my decision not yours and especially not Prue's."

"But it's a decision that effects all of us." Phoebe shouted.

With as much anger Piper stood up and was in Phoebe's face. "Right now I don't care about us being the charmed ones, you and Prue can carry on if you want to, be at 'their' every beckon call. I on the other hand want to live my life the way I want to live it. That means it's not going to be run by 'them' or by the both of you. Now, if you be so kind to get out..."

After a long pause neither one of them at first was willingly to break the stare. Phoebe wanted so much to grab her and knock some sense into her, but decided to be the bigger person and started to make her way out of the room. Turning round to face her once more Pheobe took a deep breath. "Your right it's your decision but you do realise that you're making a big mistake and hold our lifes in your hands."

"You're big girls now I'm sure that you can handle it." Came Piper's reply and shut her door in Phoebe's face.
