Hollyshadow- Hmmm, maybe she will and maybe she wont? Who knows… me…

Kay, enjoy!

Piper

Phoebe looks at me with pity, and climbs into my bed with me, like a good sister should. No matter what she ends up doing, it always comes out like she's a good sister.

"Hey, babe," Phoebe says, already giggling, "Prue told me you didn't feel good."

"Like shit." I say with little humor in my voice.

Phoebe puts her head on mine and starts absentmindedly brushing through my hair with her hand. "Should I be this close to you if you're sick?"

"Probably not," I shrug, and pull the pillow tighter over my stomach so it acts like a heating pad.

"Eh, I don't care. You're always there for me when I'm sick. Plus I don't want to be downstairs with Andy and Prue." She laughs, and puts her hand through her own golden brown hair.

"Why?"

"They're like, making out."

"Yes!" I say, getting up a little faster than I should have, making my stomach sharp with pain.

"Were you the one who put them up to this?" Phoebe grinned.

"No," I lie, "Where's Ava, did you leave her with them?"

"Yeah, I gave her to Andy, but she seems to like the thought of Prue and Andy being together. Just like us." Phoebe looks at me seriously. "So, what exactly is wrong?" Other parts of her face have matured as she grew older, but her eyes are the same. Big, and brown, and one look will force honesty.

"I just have a stomachache."

"From what do you think?" Phoebe slightly kicks me under the covers, and I yelp in pain. It seems every part of me hurts. "Oh sorry," She scrunches up her long tanned legs to her chest.

I feel short of breath. "S'ok."

Phoebe looks serious again, "Piper, I need to talk to you."

Phoebe

I can almost feel my breath screaming inside me. My mind is unsure of what to do. I already told her I needed to talk to her, and a lame excuse will just cause questions. I feel so sick. What if she thinks I'm a coward, or a slut or something? I'm going out with a fucking abuser. There it is. I said it in my mind, I realize, for the first time. Maybe if I can admit it to myself, I can admit it to Piper. Piper would only help me, not think I was a coward or anything. My hands are shaking now, and she reaches for my hand.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" She says, holding it supportively. My hands are still shaking, even in her's. "Phoebe," She says, "What's wrong? You're scaring me."

"Um," There's a start, Pheebs now all you have to say is, "R-ryder…"

"What about Ryder?" Her bony fingers are clutching me tightly. She's small, sitting there next to me, and so worried. I have to tell… I…

"Hurt m-me." My voice wavers a bit, left hanging in midair for all to hear.

Piper's arms are around me now, her chin resting on my head, "In what way?" Her voice is bursting with worry, but I can tell she's trying to be calm. For me.

I just look at her, touching my cheek, which has started to turn purple. I had never remembered him hitting me so hard. Maybe I hadn't wanted to remember.

"That son of a bitch! He…" She trailed off, looking at me, a pursed expression on her face, one I can't read.

My mouth opens, and nothing comes out. I try again and all I get is, "I-in the car." I summon my breath, and proceed to calm myself down. "Called me a bitch."

Prue

I can't say how happy I am right now. Everything is going my way. I don't see how something could go wrong now, of course, it very well could. Andy gives me a little kiss and jiggles Ava in his arm.

"Uncle Andy?" She asks, her voice vibrating from Andy bouncing her on his knee.

"Yeah Av?"

"Will you get married to Poo so she can be my mommy?" Ava looks up at him with her bright green eyes, and I am touched.

"Honey, maybe someday." He says, winking at me, but still looking concerned. "But you have to know that your mommy will never be gone, and even though you love Prue, you're mommy is always with you."

"But she hasn't come to see me."

"Yes, but mommy watches over you, no matter where you are." Andy says smiling at her, "Your nana is up hanging out with mommy, making sure she doesn't get lonely."

"Oh." Ava says, and falls silent.

There is silence for a while, enough for me to truly appreciate Andy and his niece.

"Will you kiss Uncle Andy again, Poo? He needs it." She looks at me, her little mouth set in a line, determined to make 'Uncle Andy' happy.

Andy laughs, "You just think Uncle Andy's a dork, and needs to be kissed otherwise he'll be lonely too."

"I don't think you're a dork." I whisper in his ear, and give him a little peck on the neck. After all, I don't want to traumatize the little girl.

She giggles, "Ewww, kissy!"

"Hey Andy?"

"Yeah?" Andy looks into my eyes, and my heart melts all over again.

"I'm glad you came back into my life." And I truly am.

The doorbell rings, interrupting my confessions to Andy, and there is a guy standing at the door, with a jean jacket on, and flowers in his hands. "Hey, can I talk to Phoebe?"

Piper

I can't believe Phoebe trusts me so much. I feel so guilty, and I have the need to tell Phoebe about my 'problem', but I don't want to burden her. I have her in my arms, and she hasn't said anything else to me, but she's crying. For once I feel like her big sister, and not some stranger who is trying to calm her. All this time, Ryder… I can't believe I didn't figure it out already. He was always so sweet to Phoebe, and me and although he had his strange moments, he quickly apologized. Maybe I didn't want to see it either, I have always had a crush on Ryder. Or maybe I had a crush on Ryder because I was jealous of Phoebe, but that doesn't matter anymore. He abused her. I trusted him. And all this time, I thought my problems were huge, but Phoebe has had this on her mind, and she's had to deal with it. She usually can't keep secrets for that long, but she has kept Ryder a secret for at least a bit, and I shudder to think how impacted she must be by this. I can't imagine what I would do, and I can't help but think that Phoebe is strong because she told me. I could never tell her.

"I'm so glad you told me, Phoebe."

"Me too." She says sniffing, "I-I feel a lot better." I want to ask her what exactly happened, every detail. I wish I had the strength to kick that guy's ass, but I don't think I do. "Can you do me a favor?" She asks.

"What?"

"Can you not tell Prue?"

"Why not?" I need to tell Prue. What if Prue finds out and deems me irresponsible?

"Because, because, you just can't!" She looks at me pleadingly, about to cry again. "Please, I trusted you."

"All ri- I'm interrupted by a deep voice.

"Phoebe? Baby, I missed you. I'm sorry baby." Shit. Shit. Shit.

Phoebe stiffens in my arms, and I feel myself holding on tighter to her.

DUN DUN DUN.
