Thanks very much for all the reviews!

A week has past since Cole and Leo left.

Chapter 12

Over, okay and Overworked

"Oh crap, I completely forgot about this homework," Glen groaned finding a crumpled piece of paper at the bottom of his bag.

"What is it?" Paige asked looking up form her own work.

"Just a worksheet that drugs awareness guy set us," Glen told her as he started answering the questions quickly.

Paige suddenly looked awkward and changed the subject, "Yeah well just be grateful you don't have Mrs. Green for English, she only went and set us a five page essay to do,"

"I guess," Glen said without looking up, "But its fifteen questions to answer, that's a bit harsh,"

"Just don't bother doing it, its not like you're going to see him again," Paige suggested as she flopped back on her bed throwing her own books and work off, being seriously bored form doing homework.

"Yeah I will see him again, tomorrow when the homework is due," Glen said making Paige sit up quickly, "Infact you better copy my notes since you missed last weeks class," Paige didn't answer, "Paige?" Glen said, "Whats wrong?" He noticed her pale expression.

"Nothing,"

"Yeah right, ever since the policeman visited last week or I mention it you go all weird and quiet…oh my God you're not taking drugs are you?"

"No, no," Paige denied quickly.

"Thank God," Glen said relieved, "So then whats going on?"

Paige thought a minute, could she tell him? Of course she could he was her best friend and boyfriend. She looked at his expectant face, "Okay, the policeman well he's…my dad," It was the first time she had said it out loud and it sound very strange.

Glen stared at her shocked, "Woah,"

"I know, huh? That's why I left like that, I was so shocked," Paige explained.

"This is big, huge, you taking drugs would be minuscule compared to this," Paige hit his arm, "Sorry, anyway does your Grams know?" He asked.

Paige shook her head, "No, I haven't told her and I'm not going to either, I mean I didn't speak to him and its not like I'm ever going to,"

"Yes you are,"

"What?" Paige looked at him confused.

"Paige come on you can't throw an opportunity like this away, don't you want to talk to him, get answers from him?" Glen tried to persuade her.

"Well yeah but it would be so awkward, what would I say and what if he was horrible and…"

"He can't be that bad. He's a policeman," Glen pointed out.

Paige nodded, "I suppose,"

"Paige if you don't talk to him, you'll regret it for the rest of your life," Glen assured her.

Paige sighed knowing he was right, "Okay then, I'll do it, tomorrow I'll talk to him…my dad,"

"Ooh, Pheebs where you going?" Prue asked taking in Phoebe in a black strapless top and short black denim skirt as she emerged form her bedroom from putting Abbie to bed.

"To a party," Phoebe answered while applying lipgloss to her lips in the hallway mirror.

"On a school night?" Prue asked surprised.

"Yeah I know but…" Phoebe started to explain.

"Its okay you don't need to explain I think you deserve a bit of fun after everything," Prue said shortly. Phoebe nodded knowing that she meant since Cole had left.

"Well thanks Prue, I better go," She smiled at Prue before making for the stairs.

On her way downstairs Phoebe bumped into Piper, "Sorry," Piper said as she kept walking forward before Phoebe could even reply. She came up the stairs so fast that she almost banged into Prue aswell but Prue stopped her just in time.

Piper, woah slow down, where's the fire?" Prue joked.

"Sorry, I just have a lot of homework to do," Piper explained.

"Again? You had loads last night too and the night before that and come to think about it, you've had lots of homework every night this week," Prue said looking at Piper closely.

"I know but…"

"Piper I know you miss Leo but you don't need to overwork yourself like this, there are other ways to deal with it," Prue said gently.

Piper's face remained emotionless, "I have to go, I have lots…"

"…Of homework," Prue finished then she sighed, "Okay then,"

Piper walked past her into her bedroom, Prue called after her, "Piper you know I'm here to talk if you want," Piper briefly turned round to face her and nodded before entering her room to do 'homework'

Prue sat at the kitchen table the next morning feeding Abbie, "Good girl," Prue cooed as Abbie finished. Just then piper came into the kitchen grabbing a slice of toast and walking out with out saying anything.

"Piper," Piper stopped and turned to face Prue, "So you did actually notice me sitting here?"

"Yeah sorry, I'm just in a rush," Piper explained turning to leave again.

"And what possibly could you be in a rush for at seven o' clock in the morning?" Prue asked raising her eyebrows.

"Work," Piper answered simply.

"Work? Does Quake even open at this hour?" Prue asked surprised.

"Well no but I said I would come in early before school and help set up," Piper replied.

"Why?" Prue asked thinking it would be the last thing she would offer to do.

"Because… because I did,"

"Okay then well I'll see you after school," Prue sighed.

"I'm working,"

Prue wanted to say something but bit her lip, "Okay then I'll see you tonight,"

"Well if you are staying up until eleven then sure," Piper smiled.

"Eleven, Piper this is crazy, you are overworking yourself," Prue reasoned.

Piper ignored her, "I'm going to be late,"

"Piper…"

"Goodbye Prue." Piper said firmly leaving the kitchen.

"Morning," Phoebe said cheerfully coming into the kitchen already dressed.

"You're up early for being out last night," Prue commented surprised.

"Shh," Phoebe signalled to Prue pointing to the phone at her ear.

"Oh sorry," Prue apologised.

"Well you're up early too, yeah I had a great time too, sure sounds great, I'll see you tonight then," Phoebe smiled as she hung up the phone then helped herself to a slice of toast and sat down at the table without saying anything to Prue.

"Well?" Prue urged.

"Well what?" Phoebe asked.

"What was that about?" Prue asked eagerly.

"Oh right, well that was Jamie, I met him at the party last night and we hit it off so he asked me out tonight," Phoebe explained.

"Oh," Prue said not very enthusiastic.

"Oh?" Phoebe asked.

"Well I just thought…I mean Cole, he only left a week ago…" She trailed off.

"Yeah exactly he left so I should get on with my life as soon as possible, whats the point in moping around," Phoebe said emotionlessly.

"Phoebe I know you think that dating quickly will ease the pain but it won't you love Cole that will take some time to get over," Prue said gently.

"Well you're wrong because I'm already over him," Phoebe stated as convincingly as she could manage.

Prue shook her head; "You don't mean that,"

"Don't I?" Phoebe got up and left the kitchen.

"What was that about?" Paige asked as she entered.

"Phoebe has a date that she met at a part last night and I told her that she wasn't over Cole but she…Paige are you even listening to me?" Prue noticed Paige was in another world.

"Em, yeah, sure, and don't worry Piper will come around," Paige answered.

"You mean Phoebe?" Prue asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Sure, her too,"

"Paige are you okay?" Prue asked.

"Fine why wouldn't I be?" Paige asked getting up quickly and leaving the kitchen too.

Prue watched her third sister leave and sighed looking down at Abbie, "Sisters," She mumbled. Abbie giggled, "Oh you think that's funny do you? Well you just wait until someday you have brothers or sisters," Abbie made a face making Prue laugh too.

Sorry it was a bit short and not much happened but I promise in the next chapter things start to get more interesting!

Next chapter- Phoebe goes on her date but is she really over Cole like she says she is? Piper receives a phone call and I'm pretty sure you can all guess whom it's from and will Paige talk to Sam?

Chapter 13, Popcorn, Proposal and Phonecall will be up soon!
