"I'll help you with that" Piper said rushing over to her baby sister

"Piper, I'm fine; I can carry a bag"

"The doctor said you should rest and shouldn't use too much energy; you're too weak"

"The doctor doesn't know what he's talking about"

"Don't be stupid Paige; he's a doctor. He knows a lot more than you."

"Whatever. Piper can you stop all the fussing; it's really annoying me"

"Everything annoys you"

"Then just take me home!"

"We're trying to, now will you just give me the bag?"

"Will you shut up?"

"I guess"

"Okay then" Paige said rolling her eyes and handing her sister the bag. She was finally able to go home – to rest. The doctors didn't know what they were talking about, she was fine, she wasn't anorexic, she didn't even want to think about how much she weighed now they'd been force feeding her! I must be soo fat! She thought to herself angrily. But it was okay, she'd sort it out once she was home.

"Grams is making casserole for dinner; especially for your homecoming"

"I had lunch here"

"I'm sure you can manage a little, you wouldn't want to hurt her feelings would you?"

"Hmm, guess not" Paige said glumly. She didn't know how she was going to get out of this one. Grams came in and said brightly;

"Everyone ready to go?"

Paige wasn't sure whether she was happy to be home or not.

"Go and sit down, watch some T.V or something Paige" Piper said grabbing the bag off Paige.

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, just until dinner"

"I told you I already ate"

"But Paige, Grams has been preparing this all day. You can have a little portion, I Promise"

"But Piper…"

"Go, sit. I'll bring you a drink" Piper said. Paige sighed and sat down.

"Hey Paige!" Phoebe said happily sitting next to her sister

"Hey"

"You okay?"

"I'm fed up"

"Why? Don't you like being home?"

"It's not that, it's just everyone's acting like I'm about to drop dead"

"We care Paige"

"Can't you just care a little less?"

"Nope 'cos you're our baby and we love you!"

"I'm going to have soo much fun these next few days" Paige said sarcastically "What's been goin' on round here? Where's Prue?"

"Dunno, haven't seen much of her at all lately. She got some new friends and has been spending all her time with them…"

"Oh, right. Anything else?"

"Nah, pretty boring really. Oh, I almost forgot" Phoebe said before she walked out, "Some flowers for you" Phoebe said pointing to the beautiful lilies and orchids on the table.

"Who from?"

"Read it" Phoebe said smiling before walking out. Paige found a tag on them and read,

To Paige,

Get better soon; hope to see you again sometime soon…

Kyle xx

She read it twice through and smiled; he was seriously cute. Shame she didn't know anything else but his name was Kyle. How did he know her address?

"Guys – I'm going out for a walk" she said grabbing a jacket and heading for the front door.

"Paige, you shouldn't be going out" Piper said hurrying into the front room

"I've got to. I won't be long and I won't use too much energy. Promise. I just need to find someone" she said walking out.

She walked around town for a bit, praying she'd by some chance bump into him but after half an hour she still hadn't. She tried to think where a guy like him would hang out. In the end she wandered down to the lake; where she'd first met him. As she approached she saw a guy sitting on a bench looking out to the lake, smoking. She thanked God and walked quietly over to him.

"You like it around here I take it?" she asked. He turned around and smiled

"Hey you, out of hospital then?"

"Looks like huh?" she said sitting down next to him

"You're better?"

"Nothing wrong with me to began with"

"Oh"

"So… you, er, look a little lonely"

"I was"

"What are you doing down here anyway?"

"It's quiet, no-one comes down here"

"You like being alone?"

"No, I like being with you though" he said, she smiled "What are you doing down here"

"Looking for you, I've been walking around for ages"

"Why are you looking for me?"

"To thank you"

"For what?"

"The flowers, how did you know where I live?"

"Looked at your hospital report"

"Sneaky, but very sweet"

"Well that's me" he said shrugging. They sat in silence for a few minutes. "I guess I should be going; I shouldn't be out anyway, doctors orders"

"You want a ride?"

"That would be nice"

"Here ya go; home"

"Yay" Paige said sarcastically

"Everything is okay, isn't it?" he asked concerned.

"Yeah, of course it is; don't worry about me"

"Okay, if you're sure"

"Yes, it's all fine"

"Okay well I guess I'll see you around"

"Wait, can't I at least have a number?" she said shyly. They exchanged numbers and said goodbye. She began to walk away then turned back and kissed him on the cheek.

"I guess I'll see you soon" she said, smiling nervously

"I hope so" he said. She walked into the Manor smiling.

"Thank goodness you're home Paige, dinners ready" Grams said. They all sat down at the table, an awkward silence followed.

"Hey Prue" Paige said noticing her oldest sister had joined them. She looked rough. She had huge circles round her eyes and her skin was almost grey. Her hair looked scruffy and she was wearing very little make-up. This was very unusual for Prue.

"Hi" Prue said bluntly

"Prue" Grams said sternly

"What?"

"Be nice"

"I said hi"

"It's the tone of voice you said it in" Grams said through gritted teeth

"Whatever" Prue said angrily. Paige had never seen her sister like this. Both Piper and Phoebe looked a little shocked too.

"Erm, so" Piper said nervously trying to make conversation

"Shut up Piper" Prue said

"I hardly said anything" Piper said; hurt "I was just trying to make conversation"

"Why don't you tell Grams about your little surprise" Prue said nastily. Piper looked both confused and shocked. She looked at Phoebe who just shrugged. Grams cleared her throat and said;

"C'mon girls, I know it's been a long week but let's try and get on"

"No! Stop pretending everything is alright okay? It isn't! It's all screwed up and making everyone eat here like we're all one bloody happy family isn't working. It's not like Paige is going to eat anyway" Prue said glaring at her. Paige glared back at her. How could she be so hateful?

"That's it Prudence Louise Halliwell – I don't know what's gotten into you lately but I do not like it. Go to your room. I don't want to see you for the rest of the evening, understand?" Grams shouted. Prue ran upstairs. Phoebe looked shocked and once again Piper looked on the verge of tears.

"Carry on eating girls" Grams said, looking especially hard at Paige.

"Didn't Piper tell you I ate at lunch?"

"She did"

"So, I'm not hungry"

"Don't start this again Paige. You are going to eat your dinner"

"Paige - don't make me get angry with you too. Now eat your damn food or I promise I will ground you, for a very long time" Paige knew it wasn't a good idea to piss Grams off so she ate the food, hating every minute of it; forcing back the tears. She finished the last bit.

"See that wasn't so bad" Grams said cheerfully. Paige ran up to her bedroom. Grams sighed.

Paige could hear Piper, Phoebe and Grams downstairs, and Prue was blaring out music in her room. Taking the opportunity she ran to the bathroom and locked the door. She turned on the little radio and ran over to the toilet and made herself sick. She felt so fat and disgusting. Tears poured down her face but she knew it was something she had to do. She splashed her face, brushed her teeth and ran back to her room. She hated living like this. There was nothing to live for, well there was Kyle, the only real thing she looked forward too, but was that one person going to make all the pain go away?

There was one way she could end it all…
