Guys all that I can offer is a sorry it took so long. On hell of an apology actually...hope this makes up for it. I'm kind of getting to a story line now so...YAY! I'm hoping to give you a real dramatic next few chaps...but seen as my life has turned into on hell of a confusing and complicated thing I am not sure how long they will take. Hopefully I could get one by the weekend. i'll try. Thanks anyway in advance for reading and once again, I'll start with a few words of thanks.
Thanks CC – as always thank you a lot for the words of encouragement. And the muse thing not getting any better...she has gone on a silence demonstration. DAMN that little glowing sparkly person full of inspiration. Just a few words from her would help but no such look. SO if this chap is rubbish it's because the little fellow won't say a word, she needs to know how to respect those bigger than her LOL. Well tell me what u think of this.
Succubus-69 – thanks for your support and engorgement. It really helps. I am hoping to have a lot more emotion put into the next few chaps and a story line too. Well tell me what u think and thanks.
Thanks also to anyone I may not have mentioned or those who read and do no leave reviews thankyou so much. Tell me what u think of this chapter.
got it so wrong
He walked towards the manor, he needed to see her, seven days he had thought, thought hard. He walked around the town they grew up together in, the home they had lived in, the doorways that they had slept in. Things had changed, a lot. There was a time in his past that he would have done everything to keep Paige his little sister, and now here he was funning away.
The rain had begun to fall, his hair and jacket soaked, totally drenched. His eyes held a lot of emotion. His hand clutched onto something, tight. This was the worst week of his life.
He had slept in a car for seven nights, he had used the last of his money four days ago and had truly considered up and leaving. Walking out of this hell he'd walked into.
He was at the manor now, this god damn manor that was the source of his pain. He had considered walking out, but was then overcome with such a great deal of guilt. Walking up to the manor taking a deep breath he rang the bell an waited, waited ... for what seemed like an eternity.
Then the door opened and stood in front of him was not his sister, "Rick! So you are not dead?"
"Prue is P in?"
"No, she has not got in yet. But she wont be in." She spoke,
Rick looked around nervously, "I'll wait here thanks."
"No Rick, it's raining and besides you and me...we need to have a little chat. Come in" Now Prue's voice was a growl and order.
Rick walked through the manor, "How are you?" he asked
"Me? I'm fine...but Paige is a different story." Rick lowered his head, "I messed up big time. I know that so just back off okay. I'm here to make it right."
Prue moved forward, "Rick you have no idea what you have put your sister through do you?"
"I am very sure I know how she feels and I am here to talk to OUR sister" He spoke,
Prue's eyes widened, 'did he? I think he did?'
"Rick, just make sure you do sort it out. She loves you dearly and the last week has ripped her apart."
"She isn't the only one. I totally lost it pure but I think I have figured it out now. And I'd like to apologies for my earlier behavior."
Prue nodded, "All that you have to do is make everything right with Paige. I hold nothing against you Rick. With me it's cool as soon as you and Paige make up." Prue then left a silence in the air...before speaking again, "You don't strike me as the apologetic kind of guy."
"I'm not" He admitted, "But I was wrong way out of line. Especially the way that I have treated you guys."
"Let's just forget about it. We are sound now okay" She told him, he nodded.
Paige walked up the steps to the manor and pushed open the door, she was the last to enter the manor there was now a full house, and Rick. She called out, "Guys?"
No answer for a second and then Piper called, "Kitchen"
Paige through her bag to the floor and headed in that direction. "Guys, I..." She stopped her sentence as she saw Rick sat on the counter top of the island. "You, YOU!" She shouted.
Rick jumped down, he walked towards a shell shocked Paige, "Hay P!" He tried,
"Hay P. HAY P!" She slapped his chest with each syllable she just spoke before just falling into it. He held his arms around her, "You fucking scared me. You never called or..."
"I'm sorry P, really I am. I messed up, I freaked. Sorry"
"Rick I thought you had done something stupid. Why, you...I..." words failed her as she was overcome with relief, anger and love all at once a deadly cocktail of roar emotion. She pushed him back, "How could you!" She screamed, "Were you trying to pay me back. Hurt me?"
"I'm sorry!" he tried,
"Well Jesus Rick, all in your time hay. I was so scared and you didn't even call, not me, not glen not nobody. What is your problem? Sorry, you think that'll do it?"
"I was scared P, I went crazy and I drank, a hell of a lot...just, give me another chance." He practically begged.
Paige was overcome with an emotion that canceled out the rest, LOVE. She len t forward and pulled him into her, "Don't walk out on me again. I need you Rick, I love you..."
"Always P, I'll always be around. Last week was hell, I wanted to talk to you so bad but..."
"Forget it, Past...all in the past just sort it out okay. Deal, do what ever the hell you need to do and accept this is my life. And I need you in it." She spoke sternly.
"I get that now. Really I do"
The three Halliwell sisters were watching this heart wrenching moment and then, Phoebe spoke, "Guys this is great and all you know with the..." She rose her eyes, "For use of a better phrase Brotherly love but...I haven't eaten since breakfast"
Paige smiled as did Rick...he liked these sisters of Paige's, funny was Phoebe, A hard motherly instinct Prue, and a great cook that was Piper. He felt that maybe they could be friends. That everything would be okay. He could be happy.
Little did he know. That in the Halliwell manor Happiness never lasts.
But he would soon learn. There was more to the new found sisters, friends and even his own sister who he thought he knew inside out...a lot more.
