My life is so exilirating I could die. Anyway, thanks again to all those who review. Its appreciated. Well heres the next chappie. Enjoy my lovely peeps.
Paiges POV of course
As night falls once again, I am awake and facing my sisters. We are still sitting in my room, which is still actually the guest bedroom, them on the couch, and me all alone on the bed. This seating arrangement makes me uneasy as I know whats coming. Time for the lets harass Paige until she cracks game, part deux.
They stare at me, and I pull my knees to my chest and rest my chin on them staring back, waiting for the inevitable.
"Paige, what happened to you?" Prue asks getting down to business rather quickly
I hate this " I told you yesterday"
" Not really" Piper interjects
"How would you know?" I retort " Where you there Piper? I don't think so"
"No" Piper shoots back " But Im you're sister and I know when you are keeping something from me"
" Sure you do Piper." Now Im all hyped up "Becasue you know me so well"
" I want to know you, but you are so freaking introverted I can't"
" Right its all my fault Piper. Maybe if you took the time of day to talk to me instead of waiting for me to come to you then this problem wouldn't exist"
We continue to bicker until Prue stops us. " Guys, seriously. This isn't the place or time. Paige you really need to calm down and answer our questions. Pipers right."
I know I shouldn't argue with my sisters because I'll regret it later, but if it stops them from actually getting to the point ill risk it. " You always side with Piper" I mumble
" You know I don't Paige. She just happens to be right this time"
" Nah. You care about her more. Do you even consider my feelings and how painful this is for me?"
"Paige stop before you say something you'll regret" Phoebe cuts me off " You know thats not true."
"If you understood you wouldn't be making me talk about it" I retort tears filling my eyes. I always feel like everyone is ganging up on me.
" We do understand" Prue says in a soothing tone " And thats why we are making you talk about it"
I dont say anything
" Paige if you talk about it it will help you move on." She continues
I still dont say anything
" Paige?"
I look up as a single tear rolls down my cheek. Im so sick of crying already. " Just leave me alone. You're good at that" It amazes me how what I truly feel, no matter how mean it is to the people I love always comes out once I start crying. Ive said this before to Prue but it still hurts.
" I know we hurt you Paige" Prue sympathizes with me " But its okay to be mad at us. Let all your feelings out."
" I dont want to" I say " Its weird"
" No its not. We're your sisters"
"Thats why I cant tell you. Itll hurt you"
Before I wanted to talk, and I know it will help. But I never realized just how hard it would be. I get up and run out of the room locking myself in my original room. I don't know why I picked that room, but its probably because it was the closest.
I can imagine Prue's sighs. Piper's exasperation. Pheebs's worry. Im instantly sorry and want to apologize. I slip out of the room, it was too painful to look at anyway, and head back to where my sisters are. I only find Phoebe still in the room
Before I can ask where everybody is, she answers me.
" Pipers with Leo. Prues really pissed, and downstairs making you some food she plans to force down your throat."
" Oh"
" Yeah. You know what though? She said shes gonna take you to an OB/GYN tommorow to see if you were raped, since you wont tell us"
My body tenses at the thought of someone looking at me down there and my eyes grow wide. Phoebe notices my discomfort.
" Hey Paige? Come sit next to me."
I plop down next to her on the couch. She brushes a piece of hair behind my ear.
" Don't worry about it sweetie. She'll get over it by tommorow"
" Im not so sure of that Pheebs" I sigh looking down
" You want me to talk to her?"
I nod timidly. " Thanks Pheebs" I say looking up and into her loving eyes. My own are filling up with tears at the niceness of her gesture.
" Aww come here Paige" She says noticing my tears, and pulling me into her lap. Why do all my sisters think this make me feel better? Probably because it does I admit to myself.
" Sorry Pheebs. I dont mean to be such a sensitive freak. You must think Im seriously disturbed, breaking down at every little thing" I sniffle wiping my nose on my arm
Phoebe laughs. " You can be so gross." She says " But I love you for it. And I don't think you're crazy. I understand"
" It seems like you're the only one." I half laugh, half sob
" Paige! Come down here!" I hear Prue yell from downstairs
Pheebs looks at me with a look that could translate too, I told ya so.
" She must really be mad" I comment " I thought she would insist I stay in bed"
" I hope shes not too hard on you honey."
" You're not coming down with me?"
" No I am. Its just Lady Prue already demanded I not give in to coddling you. At least not until you spill the beans"
" I do not ask you to coddle me." I bristle at her comment
" Of course not." Phoebe responds with a smirk " You only need someone to hold you every time you get upset"
I frown. One second Phoebe is being nice to me and the next second she's calling me out on my weaknesses.
" Oh Paige calm down. Its not a bad thing. I love it personally, you being my baby sister and all"
Im still bothered by her comment. I never saw myself as a very dependant person.
Phoebe sighs " Paigey. Don't make me feel bad about this"
I feel my eyes welling up with tears again. Stupid sensitivety. Life with my sisters has made me soft.
" Paigey No" She whines
I try to stop them to no avail.
" You know Paige, I cant stand to see you cry." She says hugging me " Unfortunatly, you do it alot."
"Paige Now!" We hear Prue again, and our moment is cut short.
" You can always talk to me Paige." Phoebe reminds me as a closing statement before she leads me down the stairs. I might just take her up on this offer, as she is the most understanding of my sisters at the moment.
Downstairs, I take a seat at the table, and Prue not even looking at me, an obvious hint that shes angry, in case Phoebe didnt tell me, sets a plate high with various foods.
"Eat it all she instructs" handing me a fork " If you dont you'll regret it" Why does she always threaten me?
I eat a normal amount, which is more than my stomach can hold and I've barely made a dent in the plate. I put my fork down at look at Prue.
" I can't eat anymore" I state firmly.
" We'll see about that" Prue retorts taking the seat next to me .She skewers some food onto the fork I have put down and she presses it to my lips.
" Go on" She says
" No way Prue!" I say appalled " Im full"
She continues pushing me to eat more.
I look at Phoebe for help.
" Prue maybe you should listen to her. Her stomach is weak as it is." Phoebe ventures
" Phoebe stay out of it okay? Let me handle her"
" No Prue. Im not going to sit here and watch you force feed my sister"
I go to say something, and Prue shoves the food into my mouth. Im embarassed that shes actually snapped enough to feed me and become pissed also
" And you tell Phoebe not to coddle me" I point out
" This is different"
" How Prue?" I cry " You are a freak!" I then get up and storm out of the house, hopping into my Beetle and driving away from my sisters, not caring that they'll be worried.
