Grams woke up on Monday morning and went to wake her granddaughters for school. First she went to Prue's room, she knocked and said

"Prudence, time to wake up. Prue?" she knocked louder but there was still no reply so she just opened the door. She was surprised to find that Prue wasn't there. The room was exactly how it had been yesterday. Her bed was still made and the clean washing Grams had put on the bed was still there. Grams was confused. If Prue had stayed at friends she should have told her after all Grams didn't usually allow the girls to stay with friends on school nights. She sighed angrily then went to wake up her next granddaughter.

"Piper darling, time to get up" again there was no reply. She opened the door to find no Piper. She scowled. Where was Piper? Where was Prue? What was going on? Piper occasionally stayed late at Lei's but she never stayed over, Grams didn't really approve of it; as nice as Leo was. She wasn't that annoyed at Piper though, she knew her granddaughter loved Leo a lot and his parents were quite respectable though they'd have to have a chat about staying the night, even if Piper was legal Grams didn't want to think of one of her baby's like that.

Next she went to wake up Phoebe but she was pretty sure she was going to find Phoebe wasn't there either and sure enough she wasn't. Grams rolled her eyes, she was slightly worried; she had no idea where Prue or Phoebe were. Finally she went to wake up Paige, but sure enough Paige wasn't there either. That was quite worrying too. Paige had apparently stayed at a friends the night before and she hadn't come home at all yesterday and now she'd stayed the night again. Grams hoped she wasn't just making up stories; she knew Paige was having a hard time but she would prefer her to let Grams and her sisters help her rather than run away.

Grams made her way downstairs. She could hear chatting from the kitchen. Relief washed over her, at least someone was here. She made her way into the kitchen and found Phoebe eating her breakfast but she wasn't alone, there was a boy not much older than her sitting at the table with her.

"Hey Grams" Phoebe said through a mouth full of pancakes

"Phoebe don't talk with your mouth full." She swallowed and said

"Sorry, oh Grams this is Cole. He's a friend. He's giving me a lift to school so I said he could come in for some breakfast, that's okay isn't it?"

"Of course it is"

"Thanks Ms Halliwell"

"You're welcome" she said, slightly shocked by a young man with manners in this day "Erm, Phoebe, do you know where any of your sisters are?"

"Erm well I guess Paige is still at Lisa's. Piper's probably at Leo's and I dunno where Prue is"

"Oh right… We'll I'm off to work. When you see your sisters at school tell them I want them all to be here tonight because we're going to have a very serious chat."

"Okay, bye Grams"

Grams walked into the hallway to get her coat just as the door opened and Paige came with a boy who looked a good bit older than her, who had his arm round her waist. She was chatting happily to her; she hadn't even notice Grams until she said,

"Good morning Paige Leanne Halliwell" Grams said loudly, she jumped

"Er, hey Grams"

"And where have you been"

"Erm, Lucy's" she said avoiding eye contact, Grams just raised her eyebrows and nodded

"Well I'm going to be late for work, but no going out tonight; we all need to sit down and have a serious chat okay?"

"Okay" Paige said trying not to laugh. Grams walked out the door and Paige and Kyle burst out laughing.

"Lucy's huh?" Kyle said smiling

"She's a bit old fashioned, if she had her way we'd all be nuns" Paige said taking Kyle's hand and about to take him upstairs, "c'mon I just need to get changed and get some stuff for school" she said pulling a face. Just then Phoebe walked out with Cole.

"Hey sis, long time no see"

"Hey Phoebes, I know – but we'll get to see each other tonight eh, for a 'serious chat'" she said laughing

"Someone's happy" Phoebe said smiling; finally things were looking up for her sister.

"Yeah why shouldn't I be? Anyways see you later"

"Yeah, at school, remember – that place you go to learn stuff"

"Yeah yeah, I remember, I just need to get some stuff, I can't keep wearing the same clothes after all" she said

"Oh yeah, so how was Lucy's house?" Phoebe said smirking, knowing her sister hadn't really stayed at Lucy's, but this boys house.

"It was fun" she said "Like I said see ya later" and the hurried off upstairs. Phoebe laughed.

"C'mon let's go" Cole said, opening the door for Phoebe. They were good friends but nothing had happened since the night Phoebe had freaked out. She quite liked just being friends for now…

Prue had had a rough night sleeping on the park bench. Not the classiest of places. She was wearing the same clothes she'd been wearing the whole of the weekend. She stank off alcohol and cigarettes, her hair was a mess; she was a mess. She stumbled along to school and narrowly avoided being run over by someone pulling into the car park.

"Mind the tramp Karen" one of Karen Attkins friends shouted loud enough for Prue to hear. The car, full of giggly little prep girls burst out laughing. Karen parked the car and got out and 'accidentally' walked into Prue.

"Oops sorry there Prue… didn't see you" she said with a false laugh. Prue smiled a fake smile before drawing her fist back and punching her hard in the face. Karen screamed and grabbed her face.

"You're a bitch… You're just a less hot version of me, you were always so jealous of me, you hated me from the beginning just because I was cuter than you, I got chosen for the captain of the cheerleading team and I got the better boyfriend, do you know why? Because I'm better than you, and I'm prettier than you" Prue shouted

"Well I don't have to worry about that anymore" Karen shouted "Look at you, you're filthy, you're a tramp Prue and no-one likes you and no-one will ever want to be with you, so get over it. Roger loves me, yeah me, not you – you skanky bitch." Prue trembled with anger before rushing at Karen. Several students around them screamed. Prue was now on top of Karen, ready to beat the crap out her but then someone pulled Prue off her.

"Get off me" she shouted, then she turned to see who it was. It was Andy Trudeau. "Andy? What are you doing?"

"Stopping you from making a big mistake"

"But… but… didn't you hear the things she said… she deserved it!"

"I'm not saying she didn't, and I know things have been hard for you recently, we may not be together anymore Prue but I still care. I've been watching you these past few weeks and this isn't the Prue I know. The Prue I know would never sink to her level…" Prue didn't know what to say. She and Andy used to be inseparable. They were going out from about the age of 13 until about 16. They didn't want to break up but Andy had moved to Canada. He'd come back last year but they couldn't be together because Prue had pretended she'd moved on, even though she still liked him, even loved him.

"C'mon, come with me" he said, she was about to go when someone put a hand on her shoulder and said

"You're not going anywhere…"

Hey this is all one big jumble lol but I can't really be bothered to keep doing separate stories! Anyway next chapter will be what happens to Prue and then the family dinner… Should be fun so keep checking for an update, I'm quite into this at the moment so I shouldn't take too long to update!
