"Good Morning" I say sitting at the table next to Pheobe and across from Grams.
"Ugh" Phoebe sighed.
"What?" I ask. What did I do now?
"Nothing, Paige woke me up at like five to ask if I wanted to shop with her and Prue." Phoebe sas grumpily. She never had been a morning person. I don't remember the last time she was up before me.
"Five?" I ask. I doubt it.
"Okay so like ten, but still." Phoebe says. She looks thuroughly pissed off. Maybe I'll make her favorite breakfast, omlettes.
"I'm not hungry" Phoebe says when she sees me pull some egs from the fridge.
"This is for me." I say.I know she'll change her mind by the time I'm done making mine.
"Want one Grams?" I ask.
"Sure darling. I always love your cooking." Grams says putting down her newspaper. She tries to make conversation with Phoebe, as I make the omlettes. Phoebe answers her in one word answers all in a harsh tone of voice. She should know by now that Phoebe is not a morning person.
"Here you go" I say handing Grams a plate.
"This is so good, Piper" Grams says taking a bite of food. I love being complemented on my cooking because it's something I'm very passionate about.
"Maybe I'll have one. A small one." Phoebe says looking up.
"I knew you would." I say bringing the one I made for her over to her. Then I bring mine to the table, and we all eat together. The silence lets me know that it's good.
"We're back" Prue says bursting through the door. Paige runs upstairs holding a few bags, and Prue comes into the kitchen with us.
"That looks good." Prue says looking at our breakfast.
"Thanks, I made it." I say
"That's great, and you know what else is great?' she asks. If she says herself I'll smack her.
"What?" Grams asks knowing Phoebe and I both wont ask.
"How excited Paige is over the baithingsuit I got her." Prue says
"You said yes" I say to Grams.
"I broke down." Grams says.
"Remember when I wanted one?" I ask, "You said no"
"Piper darling remember what you said to me?" Grams asks.
"What?" I ask.
"It's the twenty first century, chill out" Grams says. Yeah, I remember saying that.
"Well, you were right. So I did." Grams says. So with Prue asking its okay to bend the rules! ugh!
"Grams, thats not fair that you let Paige, and not us though." I say
"Yeah, I had to wait untill last year." Phoebe says
"Piper, chill" Prue says
"No" I say. Everything is so layed back with her. What happened to order and rules?
"Piper you wouldn't have looked good in one anyway at that age." Prue says. I feel my face get hot. I can't believe she said that. So I used to be that fat kid with glasses, and braces, and just plainugly. She doesn't need to rub it in my face.
"What about Phoebe?" I say
"She had one." Prue says.
"I'm going upstairs now." Phoebe says getting up.
"Don't go anywhere young lady." Grams says
"Phoebe bought one for that pool party, and none of you knew." Prue says
"Prue!" Phoebe whines. I can't believe she rated Phoebe out, and I can't believe Phoebe didn't tell me.
"That was two years ago" Phoebe says trying to downplay it.
"Piper, get over it. You can wear one now, so let all of us." Prue says
"No, I can't believe you let Paige get it. It isn't fair." I say.
"You never wanted me to have any fun! Thanks Prue for sticking up for me, but Piper just needs to grow up!" Paige says. We all turn around to see Paige in the doorwell.
"How long have you been there?" Phoebe asks.
"Long enough to see that only Prue and Grams stuck up for me" Paige says running upstairs.Grams runs after her, and I run after her.
"I'll go" Prue says stopping me.
"What, sudenly your the sister that cares." I say
"Piper, I don't think she wants to talk to you right now." Prue says leaving. I go out the door. I walk for a bit. No one comes after me. It hurts a little. We all rush for Paige, but no one rushes to get me. Maybe Paige's right. Maybe I am no fun, and I need to grow up. I head to the park, and find a bench in a secluded area of the park. I sit down, and hug my knees. Sudenly I'm crying, and I can't stop.
"What's wrong little girl?' Someone says. I look up to see a middle aged man.
"Nothing," I say.
"Really, no family is looking for you?' He asks. Well, a total stranger cares, but not my own family.
"Afraid not" I say.
"Come for a walk with me." He says. I want to go. Anywhere, just away from here, but I'm smart enough not to go with a stranger.
"I'm sory, but no thanks" I say
"I said come for a walk with me" He says louder.
"N-no thanks. I should be getting home" I say standing up.
"Come with me!" He says pulling a knife from his pocket. Now I really wish I didn't chose a secluded area. He grabs my hand and leads me into the forest. I feel my heart beating faster, and faster.
