Paige sat at her
office, looking over a report – the kind that really gets to her.
Working for South bay social services Paige did some good things got
children into good homes. But when there were kids who needed her
help and she couldn't do a thing that's what killed her. As she
read over this thing, with words such as Abuse and Harm jumping out
at her she was been reminded of what a ... world it was that she
lived in. not that she needed reminding. "Paige?" Paige looked up
from her desk, "Oh hey Dude" It was one of her fellow employees,
"What can I do for you?"
"You can tell me where my god damn
reports are" He said with a smile
"Oh god, Man…sorry, I'm
a little behind" she explained, He pulled a seat up in front of her
desk in the middle of the office. "Don't worry, so did you get
sucked into the Robinson case?" Paige nodded as she looked back
down to the folder in her hands, "So how's the talks on this one
going?" She asked
"Not well, looks like the kids going back
home with him" The guy explained
"What, Steve you have got to
be kidding me."
"No sadly I'm not"
"even with the
hospital reports? The police reports?"
"Last time that I
checked in there wasn't enough evidence to take the kid away from
him"
"What the broken arms and ribs not enough?" She
asked
"Tell me about it, I feel the same way as you about this
one"
"Steve you have got to talk to Vic, get it sorted. He has
to go down"
"I'll try my best…everything okay with you?"
HE asked,
"Why wouldn't it be?" She asked
"Well because
you are wearing sun glasses, your hair is covering a huge bruise on
your face and your neck has huge hand marks on it"
"Well then
there is your answer, Paige got herself in some trouble. Bar fight"
She explained, "Nothing to worry you about…where as these
reports…" Paige was interrupted by the phone ringing, "Sorry
Steve won't be a minuet" She said lifting up the Phone.
"Halliwell" She answered
"P…Paige? Hi it's, Prue…"
"Are
you okay?" Paige asked actually worried, thinking that maybe he had
done something. "No I'm good, look I really need to talk to
you"
"I'll come over to the manor" Paige said,
"No!
Jack…"
"No explanation needed fine, golden gate park half an
hour"
"Thanks" Prue said
Paige put the Phone down and
then looked at Steve, "those reports are going to have to wait,
sorry man"
"Okay, look only because I like you though. Give me
the documents I'll write them for you" Paige stood up grabbed her
jacked and threw her arms around the guy sat there in front of her.
"Thanks man…I owe you big"
"yeah you do" he smiled.
Paige walked quickly from the office and towards her
car.
---------------------
Paige was sat on the bonnet,
she was waiting for her already half an hour late sister, truth was
she was worried for her big sister, especially now. She couldn't
remember a time when Prue had asked to talk. Putting her hand into
her leather Jacket she took out a pack of cigarettes lighting one she
took a long drag and continued to wait. It was only another five
minuets that Prue's car turned into the deserted parking lot. Paige
jumped from her bonnet and waited for Prue to get out of the car. As
the oldest walked over Paige couldn't hide her concern. "Is
everything okay?" She asked "Are you and the baby…"
"We
are fine! No nothings happened"
"Oh, wow I thought there was
something wrong"
"Guess she was right" Prue mumbled, "I
can't come and talk to my sister?" she asked
Paige looked at
Prue, "You haven't asked to talk to me in years… if you and the
baby are okay then the only other possible convocation we will be
having is about that mother fucker"
"Paige, last night…what
the hell happened?" Prue asked
"Oh well here we go…now you
want to do the big sis gig huh? Where were you all the other times
he's hurt me, kicked my while I was already down literally?" Prue
looked at the floor, "What do you want me to tell you?" she
asked
"How about the truth? For once how about you give the
truth a shot?"
"Last night was the only time I have ever seen
him do that to you Paige"
"Don't lie – you have seen him
slap me, seen him grab me. Just like I've seen him slap you, punch
you, scream at you and you my big sister, one of the strongest people
that I know sitting there and taking it."
"He'd never hurt
me Paige"
"Your in denial, he has made you this…a person who
is prepared to give her sisters up for what? Him?"
"He loves
me"
"Is that what he tells you PRUE? Is this before he hits
you or after."
"You know nothing about this"
"I know
more than you do. I know you too fucking scared of him to walk."
"I'm
not Paige I love him"
"Yeah…well more fool you then"
"It's
different now, I can't just walk."
"And why is
that?"
"because of this kid, I'm not prepared to bring my
baby up with out a father"
"but what, your willing to bring a
kid into this – Prue I was that kid, the fifteen year old who was
in this…and look at the fucked up person I've become…I jump
when my boyfriend – the person I love touches me because I think
maybe this is the time that I'll get hit. I can't trust you or
anyone because of him, I have drinking problem because of him,
Because he killed me the night he hit me and you let him! You let it
happen. You saw him hit me, back hand me, you saw it. I see it
everyday – I work with that Prue. DO you really want your kid to be
put in home – taken from you. That's what you'll bring him
into…the life I had. Prue he's hit you – I know it because I've
seen it. Are your willing to let him hit your kid - - - again? Look
at what your kid become Prue – are you willing to give another kid
the life I had"
"I wasn't your mother…" Prue
shouted
"Wrong – Prue mom died when I was two months old in
that crash. Mom died and dad left you were all I had. You were my
mom…until him anyway"
"what you don't want me to live?"
Prue asked,
"You know that isn't what I'm saying…look,
your not going to listen I get it. But the next time that he hits
you. The next time that He pushed you or threatens you think…is
this what I want for my kid? Prue, trust me; you don't want any kid
of your turning into what I have. I'm here…if you need me call,
if you need help call – I'll always be there for you your family
no matter what's gone on. But he's not family to me – and the
sooner you see that your baby will be better of without him – the
better. Don't let this kid grow up with out a mom…not like me"
Prue's anger was rising, because everything Paige was saying she
already knew. "Mom died Paige, your mom died. I'm your sister,
nothing more or less. Your sister" Prue shouted.
Those words
hurt like a knife to her chest, Paige just nodded a silently stood
up, "You feel like that fine. But look you ever want help from me
call, I won't turn my back on you! I'll be there…but Prue, just
do me one last favour, the next time that he hits you get up and walk
away okay. Call me, I'll come and get you and take you to mine"
"I
don't want or need your help Paige, I just came here to tell you I
can't stop him, he is pressing the charges against you"
"I
didn't expect you to stop him" Paige explained, "Watch yourself
Prue" with this the youngest turned and got back in her car as she
put the keys in the ignition she took no time in spinning it around
and shooting out of the parking lot.
The tears came hard and fast, Paige didn't know what to do from here. So she did the only thing she could headed right at the set of lights towards the cliff that over looked the bridge...
