"A car accident? Where is she?"

"County General."

Prue pulls her jeans off the floor and quickly slides them on, slips on her shoes and grabs her purse. Then she grabs a pen and paper and leaves a note for Andy, and heads towards the door.

"I'll drive, I suppose you want to come?"

Leo follows her without saying a word.

Prue is speeding sown the street without paying attention to the red lights.

"You won't see her any faster if you're in jail for speeding."

She starts to slow down.

"I know. It would be faster for you to orb there, but not at the risk of exposing magic. I just want to make sure she's ok."

"I know, I do too. Did they say anything about how bad she was hurt?"

"She was unconscious when the paramedics got there, which means she probably has a concussion. Can you heal her when we get there?"

"They probably won't let me."

"Who?"

"The Elders."

"Well, then, we're really in deep shit."

Leo nods. Prue turns a sharp corner and enters a parking lot.

"Just my luck, my sister's in the ER and there isn't a damn place to park!"

After a few minutes of searching, she finally finds a place and parks. She and Leo get out of the car and run through the doors. They walk up to the front desk.

"My sister, Piper Halliwell, just got in an accident. They told me she's here."

The secretary searches through files.

"Halliwell…Halliwell…Ah, yes, Piper Halliwell. Are you two relatives?"

"I am, I'm her sister."

"I'm sorry, but the young man will have to wait out here. Only immediate family's allowed to see her. She's down the hall, second door on the left."

Prue turns around to face a heartbroken Leo.

"I'll go see her, you call Grams and tell her we're here."

She takes her cell phone out of her purse and hands it to him.

"I'll talk to the doctor and get you in to see her."

He nods and Prue walks down to Piper's room. She opens the door and sees Piper has scratches and bruises all over her body. As she enters the room, Piper's eyes slowly open.

"Prue? Where's Leo?"

"They wouldn't let him in. He's out in the hall calling Grams. What happened?"

"I was at a traffic light…it turned green, and I let off the break…I only drove half way through the intersection when a car came towards me…it must have ran the red light…it hit the driver's side and then I blacked out…"

A doctor walks in the room.

"Are you the sister?"

Prue nods and walks up to him.

"How bad is it?"

"She's got a lot of bruises, and a minor concussion, but otherwise she'll be fine."

"How long will you keep her?"

"Only a few more hours, just to make sure no other injuries develop."

"Then can my friend come in and see her now?"

"I don't see why not."

The doctor leaves to tend to other patients. Not long after does Leo come in. He stands in the doorway just staring at Piper, who looks worse than she actually is.

"Well don't just stand there in shock, come in and tell me I look good when I really look like Hell."

Leo slowly approaches her as Prue leaves the room to give them some privacy.

"I…I should have stopped you. I should have made you stay with me."

"Don't blame yourself. It's not anyone's fault except the guy who hit me."

"I just…"

She reaches over and takes his hand.

"You have a bad tendency to blame yourself for other people's faults."

Grams, Phoebe, and Paige enter the room and Prue follows shortly after. Grams walks over and practically pushes Leo out of the way.

"Oh, my poor darling, how did this happen?"

"Some guy ran a red light and sideswiped me. I'm fine Grams, just a couple bruises."

Prue chimes in to tell them what Piper neglected to.

"And a minor concussion."

"A concussion? Well as soon as we get you out of here, Leo will have to heal you."

"No I won't."

Grams turns around and faces him.

"And why not?"

"If she wasn't hurt by a demon or creature of that sort, then the Elders won't let me heal her."

"Well that's nonsense."

"Grams, I'll be fine. A couple weeks, month at most, and I'll be good as new."

"Fine. What I want to know is what were you doing driving out alone? I thought you and Prue were together."

"We were. We went to Andy's to see if he and Leo wanted to go out for breakfast, but then I decided I would go to the store a to get things and make breakfast, since they live off of take-out."

"But Leo said he hadn't seen you since yesterday."

Leo finishes the rest of the alibi.

"That was before they dropped by. I would have called you to let you know they were ok, but Prue turned on the TV and I got preoccupied with cartoons."

"Cartoons? You teenagers act more like children then…well, children!"

Phoebe chuckles and tugs on Prue's arm.

"Come on, let's go get something to eat. Paige, Leo, you come with us."

They leave the room and walk down to a vending machine, but Phoebe and Paige turn around to face Prue and Leo.

"That was the biggest load of bull I've ever heard. I can sense that something's wrong, now spill."

Prue looks at Leo, then back at her sisters.

"We spent the night at their apartment."

Paige's eyes widen and a grin spreads across both her and Phoebe's faces.

"And did what?"

At that moment, Andy comes running up to them out of breath.

"Prue, what the Hell kind of note is this?"

He holds up the note she left him.

"It literally looks like a chicken wrote it!"

Prue smiles.

"I'm sorry, I was worried about Piper, and wanted to get here fast."

"How is she?"

"Bruises and a minor concussion, not too serious."

Phoebe gets impatient.

"Don't change the subject! What happened last night?"

Prue turns around.

"If you can't figure it out, then you don't need to know."

Paige stares at Leo.

"You…and Piper…"

Leo reaches over and clasps his hand across her mouth.

"Shh! If Grams finds out, she'll tell the Elders and they'll clip me."

Paige pushes his hand away.

"I know! I'm not that stupid! It's just…"

Phoebe interrupts her.

"That's big…bigger than her and Dan…bigger than…"

Leo walks off back to Piper's room as Phoebe rambles on and on…

A/N: I hate to make Phoebe and Paige seem so childish, but it's unavoidable in this chapter. In future ones, they will seem a bit more wiser and mature…
