"Paige! I thought we talked about this!" Prue said banging on Paige's door.
"I know Prue, but I totally forgot about something else going on at school tomorrow." Paige said, on the other side of the door.
"Well, what is it? I'm sure it's not that bad." Phoebe said, walking up to Prue after hearing the whole conversation with Piper, from her room. Piper came up to them shortly.
"Not that bad?" Paige said before opening the door. "My teacher is going to pick a song out of a hat, you know ones about child abuse and things like that, because that's my topic, and I have to sing it in front of my class!" Paige said.
Prue and Phoebe giggled. Piper smacked them on their arms as Paige glared.
"Well, honey there is nothing wrong with that, your going to sing in front of the Elementary, Middle, and High School, plus all the guests, parents and teachers anyways." Piper said.
"Yeah but I'm singing with you guys! And it's a christmas carol!" Paige said falling back on her bed.
"Okay I have an idea." Phoebe said.
"Oh no." Prue said, jokingly.
Phoebe glared, and turned to Paige. "Paige do you have to sing before recess?"
"Yeah, why?" Paige asked.
"Well since it's Monday, I've got a free period, and Piper does too I think." Phoebe said looking at Piper.
"Yeah I do." Piper confirmed nodding.
"Prue what do you have before recess?" Phoebe asked.
"I'm a runner today." Prue said.
"Well, find out if you've got to run something to Paige's class, and if not just go there anyway." Phoebe said.
"Okay, what's this all about Phoebe?" Piper asked.
"Well we could go to Paige's class and watch her sing and be there for moral support!" Phoebe said, her eyes gleaming.
"Yeah! Great idea, I would sing so much better if you guys are there." Paige said.
"Okay then, it's settled!" Piper said smiling.
Elementary School, Paige's Class
"Hey Glenn! Your in this class?" Paige asked running over to Glenn.
"Yeah are you?" Glenn asked as they caught up to each other.
"Yeah, this is mad!" Paige said smiling.
"Yeah I know, and it's better for me because I don't have to do that singing homework assignment thing." Glenn said grinning.
"Oh, yeah, I do." Paige said with a pout.
"Don't worry you can sing I've heard you before." Glenn said recalling the other day they he and his brothers heard the sisters singing.
"Yeah and my sisters are coming so it's cool." Paige said nodding.
They walked silently into the class as their teacher called them.
Middle School, Phoebe's Class
"Okay class, I would like you to welcome a new student, Jason Trudeau." Phoebe's teacher, Ms Mavis, said.
Phoebe looked up at the name.
"Jason!" she called.
"Okay, I guess you already know Miss Halliwell, so you can sit next to her there." Ms Mavis said.
Jason nodded with a smile. He and Phoebe had really hit it off when they met. He even asked her out and she said yes,
"Hey." Jason said, walking over to her. He kissed her on the cheek, and Phoebe blushed.
"Okay, class you can go now." Ms Mavis said.
"Hey Jason, come with me to see Paige sing." Phoebe said, grabbing her bag.
"Okay, lets go." Jason said.
High School, Piper's Class
"Okay class, since you have a free period I can only advise you to not get in any trouble." Mr Beck said.
Since all Piper's friends were in other classes she walked to the library were she would usually meet them this session. All the people in her class were quite dorky and computer game nerds.
As she walked to the library, she found all her friends at their usual table, but they weren't facing her.
Piper frowned. She walked over to see what everyone was gushing about and saw that it was none other than the Leonardo Trudeau.
As soon as he saw her, he waved to her. Piper smiled as he jumped off the table and ran over to her.
"Hey." He said, with a smile.
"Hey." Piper said and smiled back.
"Oh so you two know each other?" Missy Campbell said disgustedly, walking up to the two.
"Yes we do." Piper said, annoyed.
"Well, come on Leo, you don't need to get a bad reputation by hanging out with that dork." Missy said, grabbing his arm.
"Hey, watch whose girlfriend you call a dork." Leo said, hastily.
"Whose girlfriend would she be?" Missy asked, with a scoff.
"Mine." Leo said menacingly.
"Yeah, funny Leo lets go." Missy said about to drag him off. A crowd had started to form around them.
Piper started to play along. Her and Leo hadn't really been going out, but they had been fond of each other.
"Get your slutty hands off my boyfriend." Piper said, smacking Missy's hands away.
"Look, Pepper, you couldn't get a boyfriend on your life, so get away from mine." Missy said.
"Missy, if I was your boyfriend would I do this to someone other than you?" Leo asked, and kissed Piper on the lips.
Piper played along silently laughing.
The kiss lasted for a while and stopped when Missy stalked off.
"Well, this week has gotten off to a good start. So I've got to go to Paige, you wanna come?" Piper asked and smiled.
"Sure." Leo said and kissed her again.
High School, Prue's class
"So Prue, you wanna go out?" Andy asked nervously.
"Yes of course! I was waiting for you to ask me!" Prue said laughing.
"Really? Great!" Andy smiled.
"Well I've got to go to Paige now." Prue said.
"Why? What's wrong?" Andy asked.
"Oh nothings wrong, she just wants some moral support because she going to sing in front of her class. And since I'm a runner, I can run to her class." Prue said.
"Hey I'm a runner to, I could come with you if you want?" Andy asked.
"Yeah sure. Lets go."
Paige paced back and forth at the back of the class room, as Jackie, the comedian of the class, was singing, really badly, but it was funny. But Paige couldn't pay attention to his singing, because her sisters weren't there yet and she was next.
Jackie finished and the class cheered as he bowed and left the front of the class. He walked to Paige. "Paigey! Girlfriend, your next honey!" he said to her in a gay girly voice, as he cat walked dramatically towards her. The people in the class that heard, giggled. Paige laughed.
She walked through the aisle of chairs and tables as bravely as she could. Glenn patted her on the back as she passed him.
By the time Paige got to the front, Mrs Elder had picked out a song for her. As Paige read the name of the song, she got even more nervous. It was Christina Aguilera's song, 'I'm Okay'. The song described exactly what Paige went through.
"Mrs Elder, can I pick a different song?" Paige asked.
"Sorry Paige, I picked everyone else's, so it's only fair that I pick yours too." She answered.
Paige sighed. There was no way to get out of this.
The music started playing and Paige started to sing. Her voice trembled at first, but she saw her sisters and their boyfriends sneak quietly into the room, and her voice became confident,
"Once upon a time, there was a girl.
In her early years she had to learn.
How to grow up, living in a war that she called home.
Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm.
It hurt me to see the pain, across my mothers face.
Every time my fathers fist would, put her in her place,
Hearing all the yelling, I would cry up in my room.
Hoping, it would be over soon."
Paige's emotions started to show and her sisters became sad as they remembered the most painful day of their lives.
"Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same.
And I still remember, how you kept me so afraid.
Strength is my mother, for all the love you gave.
And ever morning that I wake, I look back to yesterday,
I'm okay."
As Paige sang, tears started to form in her eyes.
"I often wonder why I carry all this guilt.
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built.
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door.
Echoes of a broken child screaming 'please no more'
Daddy, don't you understand, the damage you have done.
To you it's just a memory but for me it still lives on."
"Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same.
And I still remember, how you kept me so afraid.
Strength is my mother, for all the love you gave.
And ever morning that I wake, I look back to yesterday,
I'm okay."
"It's not so easy to forget.
All the marks you left, along her neck.
When I was thrown against cold stairs.
And every day afraid to come home,
In fear of, what I might see next."
Tears were streaming down the sisters faces, as Paige sang.
"Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same.
And I still remember, how you kept me so afraid.
Strength is my mother, for all the love you gave.
And ever morning that I wake, I look back to yesterday,
I'm okay.
I'm okay."
Paige wiped her tears and smiled quickly at the teacher, and rushed out of the room.
Glenn stood up to follow but saw Paige's sisters going after her. Instead he saw his brothers and went to them.
Mrs Elder was confused as hell, and walked to the boys after declaring 'free time' to the class.
"What are you boys doing here? And what is going on?" She asked.
"Well, Ma'am, I think Paige and her sisters will tell you when they come back inside." Andy said taking charge.
"Paige! Paige!" Prue called after her sister, as she ran to the girls bathroom.
"Paige honey, come out of there please?" Piper asked, as Paige locked herself in a cubicle, but was more of a beg.
Shuffling was heard behind the door and it opened, to reveal a red puffy eyed Paige. She was shaking and tears fell down her cheeks.
Phoebe started to cry at the sight of her sister, and for all the pain she and her sisters went through.
Prue pulled all of her sisters in a big hug, and they all cried.
"Let's just go home now." Prue said, thinking that this was more important than school.
Paige, tired from crying and how nervous she was before, fell asleep in her sisters embrace. Prue picked her up and carried her out of the school with her younger sisters following behind.
