Part 2 - half of her
She walked into her apartment – the consumption of alcohol had magnified her emotions so she was now a time bomb waiting to go off! After leaving Phoebe's office Paige had made her way to the cliff side that looked over golden gate bridge – well that was after her first stop to the liquor store. She had been here so many times, mostly when he had started on her – Prue's so called boyfriend. Now it was well into the darkened stages of that night and Paige was walking back into the apartment.
The slamming of the door had brought Rich to the entrance – he saw his girlfriend looked like she had raided a liquor store but at this time he was so relieved that she was here. He knew that she was upset – and didn't want to add to it. Walking up to her he took her hand as she let him lead her into the living room once in there he took off her soaking wet jacket and through it on the back of a chair and then pulled her into his chest wrapping his arms around her. She put her arms up to her face as her emotions tipped away for angry and fell more towards hurt and despair. "I've got you" He cooed into her ear softly as he sat down on the brown leather sofa – Paige coming with him. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked. He had been so worried – after getting a call earlier that day telling him that Paige had gone AWL from Phoebe he had been concerned.
Paige couldn't speak she just lay there, in a state of shock, not speaking or moving – just lying against him. Rich pushed his hands through her hair and brought it down to her back where he rubbed it softly.
"Where were
you?" He asked after a good half hour of holding her.
"Cliff
over golden gate bridge" She explained, "Where I think --- where
I drink" her words were lost. "I'm going to…" She said
attempting to stand out of his arms, as she stood up she stumbled a
little he steadied her though then she walked on – stumbling one
last time knocking a vase of the side – it fell and smashed to the
floor. "FUCK" She cursed.
"I got it" He said as she walked
on towards the shower.
The Phone rang - he pushed his hand
through his own hair as he stood up and took the phone off the side,
looking at the number flashing he sighed and walked into the kitchen
out of the way. "Rich" He answered
"Hi rich – it's
Prue…I was just wondering is she back?"
"Well half of her
is" He said
"How can half of her be back?" She asked
him
"physically she is stood there – but no way is that Paige.
She hasn't spoke to me, she's drunk so much she can't stand and
I am really worried about her"
"Damn – I knew this would
happen if…"
"If what?" Rich growled, "Prue what has done
this to her?" He asked
"If she knew…I'm pregnant…I'm
having a baby"
"Okay – well why do I feel like I shouldn't
congratulate you?" He asked, "Why has that done this?"
"Because
it's…It's Jack's baby" She explained,
"And…"
"And
Paige is that one who needs to tell you this…not me"
"Right
now she won't talk…"
"So no chance I can…"
"Not a
chance in hell … Jesus Prue I don't know what to do" He
explained
"How much has she drunk?" Prue asked
"More than
enough – looks like she robbed Piper's club"
"Talk
tomorrow when it's worn off" Prue advised, "and thanks for
looking out for her"
"I love her… I'd do anything for
her"
"I know. I'll call tomorrow…"
"Don't expect
a lot" He added
there was silence until Prue broke it, "Should
I call Phoebe?"
"Would you…tell her Paige is home and I'll
talk to her tomorrow"
"Will do – bye"
"Yeah bye"
With this he cut the phone off and put it on the side. Then he turned
and left to help
Paige.
"Who
the hell was that?" HE barked, Prue had put the phone down and
turned to him – "Rich why?" She asked
"Look I've been
hearing about that fucking sister of yours all day…and now when we
go up to bed you call her boyfriend what is it with you?" he
screamed.
"What's with you?" She shouted back, "I know you
two don't get on but do not talk about her like that."
Jack
took a deep breath and walked over to her, "Honey – your right.
I'm just pissed off because she isn't happy about the baby…our
baby" He smiled as he pulled Prue close, it melted all her anger
down and she felt his hand on her stomach.
"I know – I am to
but…just…be nice"
"Your right" He answered as he looked
over her shoulder while giving her a hug the smile faded as he looked
at the phone easily, "just forget about your sister for
tonight?"
Paige felt the knife gash into her face as the blade scraped against the bone, she felt his hands around her neck and his body pinning her close to the wall. Then she felt him hold the blade to her neck and whisper into her ear – his breath cold against her – "She's mine…Prue's mine…" ---
Paige's eyes shot open, she
moved her hand to he cheek and run it down the scar that he had left.
'PRUE WAS HIS' and she never forgot that. It's then that she
felt his hand move to her face and move a stray piece of hair away.
She looked to her side and into his loving eyes. "You're hot…you
feel okay?" He asked, "You have a bad dream?" He asked
"Could
say that" She explained, she then noticed it was not pitch black
out, "What's the…"
"Time" He finished, "half eleven
in the morning"
There was a short period of silence – Rich
moved her head to the side with his hand forcing her too look at him.
"What are you thinking?" He asked
"That I am really sorry
for putting you through what I did yesterday" She admitted
"Look
I'm worried about you…I don't care if you scream at me or hit
me but please don't put yourself in danger Paige. You drove tanked
up …. You could be dead now" he explained, "What happened?"
He asked then
"I went off the rails – didn't want to deal"
She explained
"With what?" He asked
"With any of it…my
past, present and what is to be my future"
"This has something
to do with…Jack?" He asked
"Huh? You talk to my sisters?"
She asked
He nodded, "Yeah Prue…she called last night"
"She
think I kill myself?" Paige asked, "She feel guilty?"
"She
sounded really worried"
"She always is… until she realizes
she has him…"
"Jack?" Rich asked
Paige nodded, "Yeah
Jack" She said his name with such hate.
"What's the deal?"
He asked
"long story" Paige was hoping he'd leave it
there…but her hope was killed
"I'm already late for work –
I have time…" He explained
TBC...
