My Sister
FYI: Phoebe and Piper are not sisters! It's Prue, Piper, and then Paige.

"What?!?" Did Piper just hear right?
"I'm so sorry. I should have told you before," Cole was still looking away from Piper.
"What? The fact that you were engaged just slipped your mind?" Piper asked. This could not be happening!
"Piper, you've got to understand. All this time I've spent with you was great. It's just that everything about Phoebe slipped my mind—
"Cole, I don't understand! People would love to tell everyone that they're engaged and it just slipped your mind?!" Piper got up.
"Piper, please listen to me—
"Cole, I don't want to talk anymore, now. And if you don't mind I have some work to do. Have a nice day and a nice marriage!" Piper stormed off leaving Cole sputtering and a waiter saying 'Of all the things! That was the perfect moment and he ruined it!'
Piper didn't know what to do. Julian would have never done this to Holly. Of all the problems they had, Julian was never engaged.
Piper went to her apartment and typed out the next chapter of her story. Piper left for Leo's office to turn it in. She was cutting close on her deadlines. Leo had seemed to enforce them now, especially after she had said no to him when he asked her out again.
Piper rushed into Leo's office and threw her papers on his desk and then rushed out. She didn't notice Leo or the redheaded woman who was in his lap making out with him.
Leo saw Piper storm out and didn't say anything. Damn! Leo was thinking. He was hoping to make her jealous by seeing him with Ally, but she didn't even notice.
--------
Piper arrived at her apartment. She didn't know what to do. Tears poured down her face. Piper sat down on her couch. Piper felt so embarrassed and humiliated. She cried so hard. She actually liked Cole—maybe, even love him. Was that possible?
Piper sobbed harder. She wanted someone to hold her. The last time she cried like this was in high school. A boy she liked had asked her out to a dance. She was so excited. She arrived at he dance looking her best only to see him with another girl. He even made fun of her and she looked beautiful that night.
Piper remembered running back to her house. Prue had just arrived home. She was visiting from college. She saw Piper and held her while she cried. Prue told her that she was better that that. That crying over some boy was useless. She was a beautiful girl and she would find the perfect man for her.
Piper did find the perfect man. He was in her dreams. Julian. And when she had the chance to meet him in real life—he was engaged.
"What do you say now?" Piper called out to her empty apartment.
What was she to do? She needed her sister. What about Paige? Paige was always there for Piper, it was just that Piper that ran to Prue when something went wrong. Piper never actually considered Paige. She always thought that Paige was too young to understand. Paige was now a grown woman. She would know what to do. Maybe this was a chance to bridge the gap that had grown between her and Paige after Prue's death. They still talked, but it wasn't the same. Nothing mattered anymore. They weren't as close as they used to be.
Piper picked up her phone and dialed Paige's number. As she was dialing, she remembered the times when Prue was alive. They would three-way call each other and talk all night. Later, everytime they saw Prue's husband, Andy he would tease them about the phone bill.
Piper heard the phone ringing. Nobody answered. Piper put down the phone. Maybe Paige didn't want to talk to her. She probably saw her number on the caller id and didn't answer the phone.
Piper dialed the number again. On the third ring, a woman answered.
"Paige? It's me Piper," Piper cried into the phone. "I need you."
