Lol. It seems as though i have been updating once a day. Well I don't think any of you guys mind. :)

Paiges POV

I drive around meaninglessly. Where the hell am I supposed to go anyway? I would go to see Glen, but how am I supposed to explain why I'm seventeen again? Is it even legal for me to be driving around alone? Im not an adult by the governments standards. I better pull over somewhere before my sisters come find me. I look in my wallet and see that i've got a decent amount of cash. Maybe I'll go see a movie. Nah, too obvious. Or I could rent out a room in a motel for a night. I probably don't have enough money though, and besides thats probably what my sisters expect me to do. What is a place I would never be? I know.

I leave my car and orb back to the manor, into the basement. Its way creepy down here, but there is some old furniture and I can deal with it. Since my sisters think i'm gone I can get away from them in the comfort of my own home. Its genius. Of course, I could've orbed away to any tropical island or to Europe or something. But i'm not that creative and Im too much of a goody two shoes to. Even when I do something wrong, I try to think of the least wrong way I can do it. Plus, Im not even really mad at Prue. Even though I try to convince myself I am. Deep down I know I'm only doing this to spite her, and to get away for a litte bit. I want her to know and feel the pain of what could happen if she continues this attitude. Yeah Ill show her. I listen closely, and hear my sisters talking upstairs.

" Prue Im really worried" I hear Piper say " What did you do to her to make her run away?"

" Nothing Piper" Prue snaps back

" It wasn't nothing Piper" Phoebe argues " I don't see why you have to be so hard on her Prue"

" Oh right blame it all on me."

" Well it was your fault"

" Im going out to look for her" Piper decides

" No we're all staying here" Prue says " Darryls looking for her and she can decide when shes ready to come back and act like an adult."

My mouth drops open. I can't believe my ears.

" How can you say that Prue?" I hear Phoebe cry " Shes our baby sister. Who knows what bad things could happen to her!"

" Shes 17, she can handle herself"

" Right. Remember saying that at her funeral Prue. Because for all we know she could be jumping off a bridge as we speak."

Phoebe thinks I'm suicidal? My behavior doesn't really indicate that does it? Oh god.

" She wouldn't do that Pheebs" I hear Prue whisper and I know shes feeling the pain. Uhhuh yeah you deserve it sis.

" You don't know that Prue"

" Im scrying for her" Piper announces

Oh crap that would screw me over

" Good idea Piper." Phoebe responds

Prue doesn't say anything, that bitch. How can she not care I'm missing?

" I can't get a read on her guys" I hear Piper say

Talk about luck

"Well I'm going to bed all. Ill see you in the morning" Prue scoffs before heading off to bed.

This is too fishy. She must know

" Prue you're just going to give up like that?"

" No, but I have to trust her. Maybe after some good hard alone time, she'll realize just how much she needs us"

" She was alone for over a month Prue!" Phoebe shouts " Now she doesn't know how to handle us, but she needs us!"

I hear footsteps going up the main staircase, and know they are Prue's. I break down, and I can't believe its happened to me again. One sister who I thought loved me unconditionally, actually doesn't. Except this time, the sister doesn't have an actual reason. I don't understand. I trusted Prue. She said she wouldn't hurt me.

Later on, I hear the door creak open.

" Paige" I hear Pipers voice say

' How did you know I was here?" I demand

" The scrying worked, and the second I knew you were safe,I figured I would just let you have your space. But I can tell you aren't enjoying it."

I grunt

" You know Prue didn't mean that stuff she said."

" Yes she did." I reply

" She said all that stuff so you would get all upset and come running upstairs to yell at her."

" How could she have known I was here?"

' Shes Prue . She knows our every move before we do."

" I thought my plan was genius." I sulk.

" It was pretty good, honey but not good enough to trick your insanely over protective big sisters"

" Does Phoebe know I'm here too then?"

Piper nodds. " You aren't exactly the quietest crier"

"Good. I hope I made Prue feel nice and bad"

" Im sure she does. She'll probably come down here later being all apologetic, or maybe she'll wait until morning. You could always go to her"

" No way. Im giving her the cold shoulder. She's the one who needs to apologize."

" She's trying her best Paige"

" I never said she wasn't"

" Maybe you could try a little harder too. Give her a bone, open up a bit. It'll make her feel better."

" What does she have to feel bad about?"

" Why do you ask what you already know? She feels like a failure"

" She is"

" Paige"

" Fine. I know that wasn't nice. I take it back okay?"

" Is that really how you feel though?"

I shrug " Sometimes"

Piper frowns " Shes only human, but I understand where your coming from. You put your faith in her to take care of you, and then at crunch time, she couldn't bring it"

" Something like that" I say playing with Pipers hair.

" You could always talk to me you know" Piper points out looking at me intensly

" I could"

" Sometimes im so jealous of Prue." She admits to me " I was your biggest sister first and then she shows up and immediatly takes away my position"

"I never knew you felt that way"

"I get that I complained about it and everything, but Paigey, you have no idea how much I cherished being to you what Prue was to me."

"You still are my big sister though"

" Yeah but the bond between the oldest and youngest is such a beautiful, but tricky thing. Seeing how it was between Prue and Pheebs all my life made me wish I had that with someone. And then I found you.." She says looking up at me with sad eyes " And lost you again"

" Oh Piper" I say sadly " Im sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you by becoming a Prue follower"

She laughs at this " Its okay Paige"

" You can still treat me like you would if you were the oldest. Always up in my business, scolding me for random stuff like my room. Just you can let Prue do all the hard work"

"Like that isn't hard?" She laughs again

" I never said I was an easy person to be a big sister too, but you've got me. And theres nothing wrong with a challenge"

" Actually theres nothing I would like more."

We embrace, and her hugs are just right. They aren't too agressive, like Prue's can be, but show me the same amount of love. We just stay like that, close to one another, and I don't feel like such a baby as I do when Im with Prue.

" Hey Pipe?"

" Uhhuh"

" I found another plus to being second oldest"

" What?"

" You make me feel well loved without making me feel like a five year old'

" Aww thats too bad" Piper jokes " Ill have to try harder"

" No!" I laugh " I like it this way"

She grabs my face and pinches my cheeks " Paigey Waigey. You are so cute. Yes you are." She baby voices at me " That better?"

"Not at all" I say cracking up and rolling away from her and onto my back so Im looking up at her "Freak"

" Im not the only one" she says reaching out and tickling my stomach. I start giggling uncontollably.

" Stop Piper!" I whine/giggle

"Never!"

I try to get away and she just keeps tickling me until Im red faced and exausted from laughing

" Its good to hear you laugh kid" She says to me

" Why is that?"

" Because you don't do it often enough. Plus you have a great laugh."

" Really"

'Its a little girls laugh. Carefree and full of life"

" That was deep Piper"

" Its true"

"Whatever you say" I roll my eyes " And Pipe?"

" Yeah?"

"Don't call me kid"

" I'll call you whatever I want thanks"

" Not fair"

"Why? You can call me whatever you want to"

" Ill have to think of something good"

" You already have a good one for Prue"

" Huh?"

" Does the word Mom ring any bells?"

" I never called her Mom" I insist

" Yes you did. Several times as a baby"

" Thats so crazy. I would never."

" But you did"

"Thats why shes been acting creepy lately. Remind me to never ever do that again."

" She likes it. It makes her feel important."

" I already have two moms though. I don't need a third"

"I know"

" Do you think shes staying forever?" I ask Piper softly, afraid that If I ask this i might be wishing her away

Piper gets all comforting on me and holds my hand " I don't know sweetie. The elders work in mysterious ways"

" If they want to take her, we wont give her up will we?"

"We might not have a choice." Piper confesses

There is silence for a while, and this is the first time during any sister chat to date I haven't cried. Piper can comfort me without killing me, and I love her to death for this fact. Maybe Im slowly getting better as well.

" He did rape me Pipe! He did!" I blurt out of nowhere

Piper looks up shocked at what I just revealed " Oh honey, Im so so sorry" She says wrapping me in a hug and rocking me slowly

So much for the whole not crying thing. " It hurt so bad. He did it to me so much. And there were others"

" Shh Shh." She soothes " Im here now. Piper's here"

And somehow, while when Prue said this it never worked, I feel so safe right now with Piper. There is a huge weight lifted off my chest.

" Thank you Piper"

"Anytime little sis. And thanks also for telling me."

I nod and look at her. She wipes away the tears on my face with her thumb.

"There. Now what do you say we get out of this basement?"

"Okay." I agree " But where are we going?"

" I don't know. Its late, but Im not tired yet and Im assuming you aren't either"

"Yeah"

"Well lets go for a drive then.Get you out a little"

We go upstairs and grab our coats. We jump in Pipers car and drive aimlessly for awile. The driving makes me drowsy and im soon asleep, even though Ive been up for a few hours.

Just before I pass out, I hear Piper laugh, and turn the car around, back in the direction of the manor. "Guess you were tired huh?"
