Chapter 5
Drunk, Dad and Doesn't know
Paige yawned, stretched and sat up, but immediately lay back down again as her head was aching. She closed her eyes again and rubbed her head then suddenly sat up right quickly and looked around herself.
"This isn't my room," She thought her eyes wide.
She heard a grunt and looked over to the person lying sleeping beside her, "Glen?" Then she was suddenly remembered being at a party with him last night, "Oh shit," She whispered looking under the covers and realising she didn't have any clothes on.
Her eyes wondered around the room bringing to her attention a clock that read 4am, "Okay its still early we can get home before anyone notices we're not there, we just have to be quick," She told herself. She turned to wake Glen but stopped herself, "Maybe it would be better if I got dressed first," She thought before climbing out of bed and throwing her clothes which she found in a messy crumpled pile on the floor beside to her dismay Glen's clothes also.
Once dressed she took a deep breath and went over to Glen, "Glen," She whispered not wanting to make any noise. No answer. "Glen," She shook him gently. Still nothing. "Glen will you wake up," She shook him harder while saying it louder.
"Five more minutes, mum," Glen mumbled without opening his eyes and turning onto his other side.
Paige was getting impatient, "Glen, listen to me you have to get up now!"
Glen's eyes suddenly opened, "Paige?" He asked groggily confused without turning round.
Paige sighed, "Finally,"
Glen turned round to face her quickly dropping the covers slightly as he did so, "Woah woah okay grab a hold of the quilt there," Paige said shielding her eyes quickly until Glen had a firm grip on them so they covered his body.
"Paige, what's going on?" Glen asked looking around him.
"Look I don't know exactly but you have to get dressed, we have to get home before Grams or your parents get up," Paige said.
"Right," Glen said as Paige turned around.
Glen started to put his shirt on.
"So you don't remember either then?" Paige asked.
"No, all I can remember is being at Richards party and…then it is all fuzzy," Glen rubbed his head, "In fact my head is absolutely thumping,"
"I remember being at the party and drinking a lot of punch actually, " Paige recalled her brow creasing as she tried to remember.
"Actually so do I…oh my God I bet it was spiked!" Paige said suddenly.
"That would explain my thumping sore head and why we can't remember anything," Glen said while pulling his trousers up then he stopped, "So what do…you think…happened?" He asked awkwardly.
Paige sighed, "I don't know but I hope we didn't do anything…stupid," Paige said knowing that there were a lot of signs pointing to yes they did do something stupid but she tried to shake that thought off and focus on getting home without anyone finding out they were gone half the night.
"We wouldn't would we?" Glen asked doubtfully.
"We wouldn't but when we were drunk who knows what we would do," Paige said.
"Okay ready," Glen said as Paige turned round, "Lets go," Glen made his way to the door.
"Wait," Paige said making him stop, "This is Richard's house, his parents could be home we have to be really quiet,"
"No remember his parents are out of town, its only his older brother home and he was at the party…in fact I'll bet it was him and his friends who spiked the punch," Glen said annoyed.
"Probably, come on lets get out of here," Paige ushered him out the room and they nearly tripped over someone lying on the floor outside the room.
Paige looked around the place. It was a mess, cups lay all over, people were sleeping everywhere and punch stained the carpet.
"Looks like we weren't the only ones effected by the punch," Paige commented.
They avoided the sleeping bodies and crept out the front door. Paige's house was closest to Richards then Glen's was a few doors down after that.
They walked in silence until they arrived at Paige's house, "Well bye," Paige said.
"Sorry about all this Paige," Glen said looking away.
"Its my fault too," Paige said quietly.
Glen nodded, "See you at school then,"
"Yeah, bye," Paige said again.
Glen stood awkwardly for a minute before walking off and Paige realised that that was the first time since they had been going out that they had said goodbye and that he had not kissed her.
She started after him for a moment before creeping into the manor.
To her relief no one was there, well maybe that was because it was just after 4am in the morning but she still had a horrible image of walking in and Grams being there yelling at her, accusing her…
She crept upstairs and was soon in the safety of her bed, she sighed with relief and fell asleep almost instantly.
"I'm off to Quake," Paige heard Piper call at 10am. Her stomach rumbled. "I'm starving," She realised getting out of bed then she stopped at her door, "I can't be bothered talking to anyone yet, it will all be questions about the party probably," She thought to herself, "Wait, Grams will be at work, Phoebe probably won't be up yet and Prue went to the shop like twenty minutes ago, it should be okay," She decided and slipped out her room then backed up to her room again realising she was still wearing the same clothes she had put on for the party, "I think I better change," She thought smiling.
She entered the kitchen about ten minutes later and was surprised to see Prue at the table with Abbie.
"I…I thought you'd gone out," Paige said casually as she made her way to the cupboard.
"I did," Prue replied smiling.
"Oh…you were quick," Paige poured her cornflakes into her bowl.
"The shop is only round the corner," Prue answered then a grin spread on her face, "So how was the party last night? I bet you and Glen had fun,"
Paige nearly dropped the cornflakes box but ended up only spilling a few flakes on the table, "What makes you say that?" She asked casually picking up the flakes.
"Oh I just remember going to parties at your age, great fun," Prue sighed, "Well not that I don't have fun now," She added grinning.
Paige nodded and took a spoonful of her cereal.
"Paige are you okay?" Prue asked, "You look tired,"
"Yeah I'm fine…just late night I guess…well not that it was too late of course but it was late enough, well…" Paige rambled.
"Okay, okay I get it," Prue stopped her and eyed her strangely.
"Right," Paige said and turned her attention back to her cereal in front of her.
"Hi, what can I get you?" Piper asked a customer that just walked in.
"Eh…I'll have a coffee please and I don't know I love pancakes but I do love a good scone too," the man replied.
"The scones here are really nice," Piper said friendly.
"Scones it is then," He smiled.
"Coming right up," She went off and came back a few minutes later with his order.
"Here you go," She set it on front of him on the counter.
"Thanks very much," He said then looked up and studied her face for a moment, Piper noticed and started to get a little uncomfortable, "I'm sorry is something wrong?" She asked.
"No, no it's just you look so familiar…have we met?" He asked.
"I don't think so," Piper replied.
"Piper," Phoebe shouted coming in.
"Excuse me, " Piper said politely to the man before starting to walk away.
"Wait your name is Piper?" He asked.
Piper nodded looking weirdly at the man.
"Hi," Phoebe smiled at Piper when she got to the counter.
"Phoebe, hi," Piper greeted, "What do you want?"
"Your name is Phoebe?" The man asked.
"Yeah," Phoebe turned to the man curiously, "Who are you?"
He smiled, "Well I think I'm your dad,"
"What!" Piper and Phoebe exclaimed.
"I thought you looked familiar Piper then I found out that was your name, I knew it was you, I mean how many Piper's are there in the world and Phoebe…wow you are both so beautiful, I mean you were just a tiny baby last time I saw you Phoebe," He said smiling at them both.
Piper and Phoebe looked at each other then Piper turned to the man, "Your name is Victor Bennet?" She asked.
"Yes," Victor nodded enthusiastically.
They were both silent thinking it over in their heads.
"I know this is a shock," Victor said.
"A shock?" Piper repeated, "We haven't seen you in however many years then you just turn up out the blue,"
"I know and I'm sorry for that, really I am," Victor sighed then he slowly put his arms out, "Doesn't your old man get a hug?"
Piper and Phoebe looked at each other and nodded and went over an hugged him slightly awkwardly.
"Oh I've missed you girls so much," He sighed.
"Why didn't you come back then?" Phoebe asked quietly.
"Maybe I should explain that when you are all together, where's Prue?" He asked.
"Em…she is at home," Phoebe replied.
"Still living at the manor?" Victor asked.
"Yeah," Phoebe said.
"Come on then we'll go and see Prue now," He smiled.
"Wait aren't you forgetting someone?" Piper asked wondering why he hadn't mentioned Paige.
"Yeah I'll suppose I'll need to see your Grams too," He sighed.
"Right," Piper nodded, "I'll just need to get my coat and bag, Pheebs you want to help me,"
"Okay," Phoebe said slowly.
"I'll go take the car round then," Victor said as he left.
"Oh my God he doesn't know about Paige," Piper said to Phoebe immediately.
"Well in a way I guess it kind of makes sense, he left when I was a baby I guess he never knew mum was pregnant when he left," Phoebe explained.
"And what about Abbie, I don't think he'll like the idea of his seventeen year old daughter having a daughter," Piper said.
"Well Grams probably won't be too thrilled to see him, actually neither will Prue for that matter," Phoebe said sighing at the thought.
"Great, this is going to be such fun," Piper said sarcastically.
