You know what people; anajet is my new best friend. Thank you anajet for being the only one to review the last chapter. And you review every chapter. So thank you for being my faithful reviewer. I know two other people usually review my chapters and they're forgiven for not reviewing because they do it all the time. The rest of you…if there are more people…shame on you.

Chapter 14: Losing Everything

POLICE STATION

Andy was trying to concentrate but he kept flashing back to the look on Prue's face. His thoughts were interrupted by Darryl.

"Are you going to answer that?" Darryl asked.

"What?" Andy asked.

He realized the phone was ringing and picked it up.

"Trudeau" Andy said.

"Andy, it's Phoebe" Phoebe said.

"Hey" Andy said.

"I was wondering if maybe you could meet Piper and me for lunch today" Phoebe said. "We need to talk to you"

"Phoebe…if it's about Prue…."

"It's about her but it's not what you think" Phoebe said. "You really need to hear something"

Andy sighed.

"What time?" Andy asked.

"Noon?"

"Works for me" Andy said.

"Good" Phoebe said. "I'll see you later"

"Phoebe…she's okay…isn't she?" Andy asked.

"I don't know, Andy…I really don't know" Phoebe said. "Bye Andy"

"Bye Phoebe" Andy said.

He hung up and put his head in his hands.

"You want to talk about it?" Darryl asked.

Andy shook his head.

"Why don't you take a day or two off?" Darryl asked. "You've been working your butt off for the last month"

"I like to keep busy" Andy said.

"Funny, that's what you told me Prue says when she wants to hide from something" Darryl said. "What's going on Andy?"

Andy sighed.

"I think it's over" Andy said softly.

"Andy, you always say that and yet somehow you two find a way to be together" Darryl said.

"It's different this time" Andy said. "She doesn't want to be with me anymore. We were happy…I had an engagement ring in my pocket the day we left for San Francisco again. We were going to be a family…a big messed up family"

12:30 PM

Andy sat at the table at the outdoor café looking at his watch.

"Sorry we're late" Piper said coming up to the table with Phoebe. "I got held up at work"

"It's fine" Andy said. "Really"

Piper and Phoebe sat down. There was an uncomfortable silence.

"You said you had something to tell me" Andy said.

"Yeah…um…Andy…this is really hard to say…Prue's moving" Phoebe said.

Andy was quiet for a couple minutes.

"Where?" he asked quietly.

"Paris" Piper said. "She got a job offer and apparently she's taking it"

He nodded.

"Listen, she didn't mean what she said to you, Andy" Piper said. "When Prue's upset…"

"I know" Andy said. "And normally I'd call her the next day and things would be fine but this time…she's made up her mind. It wasn't the decision I'd hoped for but it's hers and I can't do anything about it"

"But you can, Andy" Phoebe said. "You're the one Prue listens to; you're the one that she tells all of her secrets to"

"She doesn't want to talk to me anymore" Andy said. "And I'm trying to respect that"

"But you both love each other" Piper said. "This is only happening because of Andrew's death"

Andy was quiet.

"I have to get back to work" Andy said.

"Please Andy, talk to her" Piper said. "You're the only one that can"

A WEEK LATER

Prue stood with her suitcase at the airport. Piper and Phoebe stood beside her.

"We're going to miss you" Piper said with tears in her eyes.

Prue nodded.

"I'm going to miss you too" Prue said keeping her face emotionless.

It was quiet.

"I should get ready" Prue said. "My plane's about to board"

Piper and Phoebe hugged Prue.

"Call us a lot" Piper said. "And come home to visit"

"I will" Prue said.

"We love you" Phoebe said.

Prue looked at the floor.

"Same here" Prue said. "I should go"

She turned and started walking away. She knew her sisters had told him…she wanted him to come but she wasn't going to let that on. Prue paused before loading onto the airplane.

"Maybe this isn't the right thing to do", Prue thought for a second, "Maybe he'll come and things will be like before"

She half expected to hear him call out her name.

"Excuse me, are you boarding this plane or not" a man asked.

"What…oh yeah…I am" Prue said.

She boarded the plane and started her flight to her new home.

ANDY'S APARTMENT

He looked at the clock and sighed. He wanted to go so bad…he wanted her to fall into his arms and for everything to finally get better. The last month had been hell for the both of them. They had lost their son, their relationship…their hope.

"She doesn't want to be with me" he thought, "She told me to stay away and no matter what I have to respect that"

He looked on the dresser in his room. The box that was in his pocket on the plane back to San Francisco was now on the dresser. It had sat there ever since the Elders had let him come back. He had been waiting for the perfect moment but that moment had never seemed to come. He stood up and put the box in the pocket of his jacket. Then he headed for his car.

I am so sorry that this is yet another short chapter and that it's a cliffhanger but that's what you all get for not reviewing, except you anajet.
