Chapter 3

"Prue?" Joe asked stunned standing up in shock that it was Prue there. Prue stood there will all her dignity and pride even though she knows and she feels that deep inside her heart, she was slowly being torn apart, she was slowly being beaten to the ground on how stupid she has loved Joe.

"Uhm..." Prue said poiting at the woman sitting next to Joe. Joe looked down at the woman then at Prue. The woman just looked away to another restaurant staring at people who come by.

"She's Monique. She's just a friend." Joe said. The Monique stood up mad at the recognition she got. ' A friend'.

"Excuse me!" The Monique bursted out facing Joe. Monique and Joe first hd a PrueAndy relationship. They worked together, went to school together ever since kindergarden they were friends at first but everything grew and they had feeling for one another, just like Prue and Andy up until now. Joe didn't know what to do. He was stuck between Prue or the woman that he has been through everything with, including puberty...

Everyone in the food court was staring at the scene. It was like a soap opera. guy choosing over which girl he loves more or which girl would make him happier. All eyes were rotating for what will happen next, all ears were opened for the next word to be hear. Prue broke the silence. Prue talked with all the dignity that she had just to say.

"Hmmmm...Guess you two has issues to work out. I'll talk to you when you're not bussy. And. One more thing. Here's your ring." Prue snobbishly said. She wanted to look tough. To look like nothing happened at all. To look like she didn't make a fool of herself.

"Prue...Please...Don't...I Love You..." Joe said begging Prue. Monique faked a cough that made everyone in the room realize that she was there.After all, everyone was focused on Prue and Joe and what will happen with them. But, as much as Prue loves Joe, she just couldn't stand the humiliation that she was getting right there.So, Prue just threw the engagment ring in his face. Leaving a lot more drama to be cause unseen.

Prue looked left and right for Andy. She couldn't find him. She couldn't find the only saftey coushion she had. She couldn't find the one she truly loved. She scanned the people at Panda Express. The people in Great American Steak, she even looked trhough the Hot Dog on a Stick crowed. But no sign of him.

"Prue. What are you doing? You know everyone is still staring at you." Andy said surprising Prue from the back. Prue jumped at this and everyone looked at her. With Andy this time. Prue couldn't take it so she walked out of the mall and to the parking lot where people were still staring at her.

Andy ot outside and found his car with Prue almost collapsing on the side with pain and anger. Andy could see right through the beautiful woman who just stood up infront of everyone inside. The woman who showed her strength but inside there really now is an empty heart wanting to cry out in pain and angst. Andy pressed the key to open the door and as soon as Prue heard the click on the truck. She hopped in even though she was a little smaller to go inside it.

"I hope that you're happy now." Prue said slacking down on her chair looking at the food that Andy had brought in.

"What do you mean?" Andy asked putting his seatbelt on driving away. Prue rolled her eyes. Just then, ANdy knew that Prue knew what he had done. Andy knew that what he can do to Prue is the same thin that Prue can do to him. Read him from the inside out.

"You know perfectly what I mean! You knew didn't you! You set everything here up! You set me up! I thought you were my best friend! I thought that you were always the person I can lean on! By why did you even do this to me! Why did you hurt me!"Prue screamed at Andy crying. She didn't know anything. She didn't know until now. She also didn't know why. Of all the people she knew would tell her. She had to hear it from Andy. She felt like she was crushed more when she realized that it was all Andy's doing for her to found out. The only person she trusts that won't ever hurt her.

FLASHBACK...

"H...i..." Andy said walking in the teacher's lounge greeting his close friend Bob. But, he was easily disctracted from what should have been a conversation starter with him and Bob, there was a new face in the teacher's lounge...A face where he could easily get lost in. From what he can tell, this woman took care of her face. There were no wrinkles just beautiful smooth face. Then, his eyes met hers which made her come his way. He didn't know what to do. He panicked, what should he say? He didn't wanna ruin the moment. THe first impression that everything with her be based upon... The lounged seemed like there was only him and the woman sitting there. But truth to be told, it was a welcome party for the new teacher.

"Hey..." He said to her in a vivid whisper. It sounded more like it was his first word because he felt the butterflies in his stomach. He felt just like he did in High School asking the most beautiful girl to the prom.

"Uhm. Hi." She replied more confidently, staring at his beautiful blue eyes. Andy looked at her eyes deeply as well. He the same as her got lost in them. There was an akward silence in between as they each got lost in one anothers deep eyes. Full of meaning and just waiting to sparkle. Andy saw the sadness in her eyes. He saw the lonliness and dullness that needed the sparkle to make it more beautiful as it can be...

"My name is Andrew Trudeau. If you need anything like any help. You know who to turn to.Or if you're sad you can always count on me to make you laugh a little. Just count on the PE slash Math slash anything teacher." Andy said shaking her hand. Prue smiled at this remark. She knew that she was going to like this guy.

"Thanks, Andrew. But uhm. That's pretty much the same thing that everyone told me. Except for the part where you can make me smile." Prue said. Andy gave out a little laugh. A sigh of relief if you will that Prue was actually talking to him.

"So. Uhm. I guess I better be going now...Pruedence Halliwell..." Andy said kinda laughing. Prue looked at him with a playful evil eye. Andy looked at the banner once again. He figured that the name wasn't that bad. So he stiked that evil eye with an apologetic look.

"Guess I better be going. I need to set up for all these things. You know school coming up and all that." Andy said. Prue nodded and waved goodbye to go back to the boring party with the boring people.

"Unless ofcourse. You wanna come with me and ditch this party? I mean. I can't help but to get to know a beautiful woman." Andy asked. Prue looked at him suspisciously but with a thankful meaning to it. SHe wanted to get the hell out of there. It was the most boring party ever since it started. Well mostly because it was badly decorated. It was badly run and the people in the party were the boring teachers that didn't even want to be there.

"But. I mean. It's MY party. I can't just up and...Oh forget it!" Prue said taking her coat by the coat rack adn walking away with Andy. The moment she took his hand, it was like she felt for the first time, relaxed ever since she moved to San Francisco where she knew she didn't belong.

"By the way, call me Andy. Not Andrew. I kinda don't like that name. You know what I mean. But you have a beautiful name...Pru...dence..." Andy said walking side by side with Prue. Prue giggle a little. She knew that it was akward going to ditch a party for her with a stranger she just met.

"My beloved truck. Hop in!" Andy said. opening the door for Prue. Prue was surprised at this. She ever thought someone was still like that in these days. She went inside his truck and it smelled so friggin good. It had that cinnamon pie smell, that beautiful smell that remindd her of home.

"I love the smell of your car." Prue said truthfully as Andy go in his car. Andy smiled.

"Thanks, Pru...dence...Hey listen. I know you probably don't wanna hear this from a omplete stranger but... Do you have a nickname? I feel kinda...weird about that name of yours..." Andy said akwardly. Prue giggle so much that she didn't even stop until they got out of campus grounds.

"Yeah. Call me Prue." Prue said regaining all control of herself. Andy smiled. Their eyes met at the stop sign knowing that they will have an effect in each other's lives after that day...

"Look Prue. I only did that because I didn't want you to think of me as a liar. I didn't want you to think that I'm only doing that to hurt you. I did that because I care about you. Because I know that you'll get hurt when you actually get married to him next year. I know that he's not the one for you because of what he just does to you." Andy reasoned. That was the end of it. After that. They both didn't talk anymore at all. The rest of the way back to work was just boring old music that affected them both letting every single lyrics sink in. Andy knew that Prue was thinking about Joe as the music played. Prue was thinking about Joe. How much she had grown to love him for all that 5 years they were together. As the song 'Bad Habit' by Destiny's Child. Both knew Joe was the bad habbit.

But as things turned. Prue wasn't thinking about Joe anymore. She was thinking of...Andy... The motive of why he did that. Set everything up just for her to find out about Joe and Monique. She knew that there was always something more than friendship between them. But that was just that... She didn't know what MORE really ment for them. As she inhaled the sweet scent of cinnamon pie. She remembered the day that she and Andy met. They day when they ditched the party just to spend the whole day in Golden Gate Park telling each other stories of their life which made both feel as if they knew each other right from the beginning of their lives. Prue smiled at that thought.

"See you later... I mean...If you still need a ride..." Andy said opening the door for Prue. Pru smiled. Everytime that she goes in or out of a car. As long as Andy's there. She doesn't have to open the door. Prue liked that about Andy. It reminded her of how much she loves him.

As Prue walked in her classroom filled with screaming students who turnd their desks the other way around.

"Hey! What did you guys...Oh..." Prue said sitting down on her mesy desk. Papers were one o top of the other. But something that stood out was a bright pink paper that had her name on it. Knowing the handwriting. It was from Joe.

Something inside her knew what was inside of it. Sorry. But she knew she just had to open the letter. Just because as much as she hates Joe for doing what he has done, she always has the heart to forgive her. Always had the heart to say that 'I love you' always have the heart to give up everything just for him.

As she told her class to pay attention to the movie and not each other, she opened the very sealed letter...
