Different Paths Part 23:
Tries with no use

--------------------

Piper lay on the bed and cried into her pillow she was holding close to her chest and hugging like a teddy bear. She starred ahead, as tears flew down her cheeks. She heard a knock and knew it was Prue. She didn't react.

"Piper?"
Prue called softly but again there was no reaction
"Piper, honey... can I come in?"
again there was no reaction
"please?"
Prue asked but still there was nothing on the other side of the door. She sighted and tried the door. It was locked.
"Piper... please let me explain..."
Prue begged. Nothing.

Piper couldn't believe her big sis was leaving. Was leaving her alone with the pregnancy. With a baby. With being the oldest. She couldn't believe she and Prue wouldn't live under one roof anymore. They never lived apart. They already didn't live in the manor, but still they lived together. Now, that she needed her the most, she was just going away. Piper bit her lip and closed her eyes tightly, trying to stop crying, but failed, sinking her head deeper down to hide her face in the pillow.

Prue still stood outside and heard her sister's sobs. She sank down to the floor.
"Piper... please... at least let me explain"
she begged again. But she heard nothing but crying.
"I'm... gonna go... to my room now... go to bed... if... if you want to talk or... need me... you... you know where to find me, okay?"
Prue asked, slowly getting up again. She leaned onto the door, but there was nothing.

Piper heard footsteps and knew her sister was gone. Not in front of her door anymore.
"Maybe now you are"
she said lowly, before breaking down even more...
