Part 6 – sort your head out

Phoebe threw open the door to the manor and walked through, "PRUE?" She screamed, "GET down here! PRUE!" She wasn't messing around now she needed to sort this stuff out. It was beyond a little family rivalry now, that she could handle this was so far past that. "Hey Phoebe" she's not here. Phoebe looked around to the kitchen doorway to see Jack stood there, a dress shirt top open, a pair of blue jeans and a Pair of very nice base shoes, for some reason this made her hate him. Now, they never got along like she gets on with both Leo and Rich but she never full on hated him. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that there had been times when Paige never had rent money, when Paige couldn't afford food. She herself had tried as much as she could to help Paige out but she never had a lot. Paige was too proud to and as Piper although she herself was a little strapped. They tried, apart from him and Prue who had great jobs and great fucking lives.

"Where the hell is she?" Phoebe asked
"Out" Jack said, "she'll be back later"
"What you want me to leave? You too ashamed to face the sisters?" She shouted
"Oh great Pit bull Piper on the Phone and now you" He said turning around, Phoebe followed,

"You know what you really need to get some respect for all of us, including Paige"
"Phoebe you saw her, she jumped me" Jack answered
"Drop the charges Jack, you'll lose everything if you don't" Phoebe explained, "You think that Prue will stick around"
"Prue knows what's what, she had to chose, NEW family or OLD!"
"And I bet she had a little help in choosing huh?"
"What's that meant to mean?"
"What the fuck have you done to my sister?" Phoebe asked
"She just sees what a fucking loser her little sister is, Phoebe I won't drop the charges"
"I think you should"
"I don't think you should go around throwing threats around" Jack growled as he turned to her.

"Why Paige? I mean when you moved in here I was still living here. Why not me?" Phoebe asked.

"Why not you what?"
"Why didn't you do this to me, bully me, hit me, and mentally kill me? Why didn't you pull the knife down my face?"
"Phoebe I'm warning you"
"Warning me what? What are you going to do? Tell me it's my fault that mom died, that I made dad go screw the secretary? What?"
Jack trough the glass he was holding to the floor and stormed towards Phoebe pushing her into the wall. "If I were you I'd stop shouting my mouth of about things I don't know anything about. What that bitch tells you are lies" He growled. Phoebe actually became quite scared; Paige had told her about the things that he'd done but she had never actually seen it till last night. None of them had bar Paige! They'd seen that arguments, the time he'd slapped her that's it though.

"Phoebe the moment you understand what your sister is really like you'll realize that she's not worth it"

"Tell me why you're doing this to her?" Phoebe growled not wanting to show even a little fear.

"I've got to protect my family Phoebe, Prue and my baby. She is a danger. Always has been"
"You're the danger and I'll see to it I do what I have to do, to insure I protect my family. That includes, PAIGE, PRUE and HER BABY"
Jack stepped closer, "If I were you I'd keep out of this"
"Jack you mess with Paige, you mess with me, Piper, Rich and Leo to and you'll wish that you never" Phoebe pushed him back and turned ready to walk away "YOU BETTER WATCH IT" She shouted back. It was then that he hared the door slam and she was gone.

HE turned around and kicked his foot knocking over the chairs. "I'm gonna KILL YOU!" He screamed, "Paige your dead"

Phoebe walked down the steps and headed towards her car, it was then she saw Prue walking down from the top of the road. Phoebe looked at her and walked at fast pace in her direction, "We need to talk" Phoebe growled.
"Not now" Prue said
"Oh yeah now, Prue that's your baby sister, Our baby sister. You know all that goes on. What he is doing to her you know so why the hell are you letting this happen?"
"Phoebe I have a baby to worry about"
"You have two of them Prue, she was always your baby"
"WAS… Phoebe, She left"
"HE made her, and even though you let him throw her out and what have you she has and always will be there for you. We both know that."
"Phoebe I've been up all night, worrying about her, fighting with Jack"
"Call her Prue, you need to call her would you forget about that loser for one minuet pick up the Phone and talk to your sister. You know what, she's been with Rich for around three months and in those months he has done more for her than you have in years. Sort your Fucking head out" With this Phoebe turned and walked back to her car, got in slammed the door. She accelerated away her wheels spinning before she shot off down the road.

Standing in the mirror she put the black sun glasses over the black eye that had formed over night. She was now wearing a pair of black un-fitted jeans, that fell onto her open army style boots and one of Rich's white dress shirts. Her red hair fell over her face and she decided that she had hid long enough in this room and right now she needed a drink, somehow she thought that alcohol was a bad idea already been four hours late for work she thought showing up drunk would be just screaming out "fire my ass"

Walking into the kitchen she saw him sat on the counter top, he looked over as she stood against the door frame. "Hey baby, you okay?" HE asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Like crap" She answered, "Thanks for last night Rich"
"It was more early morning but no problem, come here" He said opening his arms, she walked over and into them resting her head against his chest. She had appreciated everything he had done last night when she had totally broke down he had held her close and so tight and let her cry it all out - "Shouldn't you be working?" She asked

"I should but I called in switched with Jason, I'm working the late shift"
"All night?" She asked
"Yeah sorry babe"
"What if I get lonely?" She asked smiling
"Well you'll just have to wait tell I get home tomorrow" She looked up at him; his hand moved and took her glasses off. She avoided eye contact, "He fucked my face up good huh?" She asked. Rich's hand moved to her face, made her look at him and he pushed her hair behind her ear. "Wish I could have stopped him" He explained, leaning up to him there lips met and they kissed lovingly. When they pulled back she smiled, "Don't think I didn't know who it was that stopped him from choking me, got some good kicks in huh?"
"Whish it was his head" Rich explained
Paige moved her hand to his face, "We don't need the two of us in the cells, I'm already going down, please don't go after him, this is my fight and I don't want you going down for it"
"Paige I'd go down for you"

"And I wouldn't be able to live with myself okay, please promise me"
"Fine I promise I won't go after him but he won't win"
"Rich if I have learned one thing it's that he always wins, that he always either gets something off me or in this case SENDS ME DOWN"
"You're not going anywhere" Rich reassured her
"Rich last night I would have killed him!"
"You're not the only one" He reassured her, "Look, your strong you can face this, if he don't drop the case then you'll go into that court room, I'll be by your side and you'll teach him not to mess with you or your family."
Paige nodded, "Hopefully, look baby I have to go to work okay, boss is already on my case"
"Maybe I should drive you, you had a lot to drink last night"
"Maybe that's a good idea" She lent up and kissed him again softly, "I'll get my jacket"
