Thanks very much for the reviews!

Chapter 13

Popcorn, Proposal and Phonecall

"Okay so that's about it from me, I hope you all found the information useful and please remember all these facts if you are ever in the situation to take drugs," Officer Wilder's face was serious but soon softened as he smiled at the class, "Thank you for listening,"

Mrs. Clarke got up from her desk at once and clapped, gesturing for the rest of the class to join in. After a small applause, with Officer Wilder's cheeks tinted slightly red the bell rang and everyone darted out the classroom without waiting for Mrs. Clarke's permission.

Glen and Paige were the only ones left, hanging back by pretending to put their books away. Glen then kissed Paige on the cheek whispering words of encouragement in her ear before leaving the room also.

Taking a deep breath she made her way to the front of the classroom telling herself it was now or never. As she approached the front where he sat gathering his notes together Paige realised to her annoyance Mrs. Clarke was still in the room. She was staring. Paige hoped if she asked to talk to Sam she would have to leave them alone. She was now right in front of him, hoping desperately that her voice would come out level she spoke "Er…" Well it was a start she thought.

It got his attention anyway, he looked up at her slightly surprised, "Can I help you?" He asked kindly.

"Well… I was sort of…wondering if I…could maybe talk to…you," She stuttered feeling her cheeks burn as she did.

"Now Paige I'm sure Officer Wilder has a lot to do…" Came Mrs. Clarke's voice form across the room; her beady eyes fixed curiously on Paige.

But Sam cut her off a warm smile on his face as he kept his eyes on Paige, "No really its fine," He insisted.

Paige suddenly felt more at ease and wanted to laugh in Mrs. Clarke's face but thought better of it and decided to show an appreciated smile in Sam's way instead.

"Oh well… if you are sure," She seemed flustered as she got up from her seat, "Well I'll be back shortly to lock the room," Giving Paige an odd look she left.

After a moment Sam spoke, "So Paige is it?" He asked. Paige shyly nodded. "Take a seat please," She sat down without saying anything. For a moment nobody spoke but Paige could feel Sam study her, a strange smile on his face as he did so. "You know you look so familiar, have we met?"

"Yeah…. a long time ago." Paige answered avoiding his eye.

He smiled not really understanding what she meant. "So what seems to be the problem, you're not into drugs are you? A pretty thing like yourself," His smile weakened slightly.

"No, no," Paige answered quickly shaking her head.

"Good," He replied his smile returning to its usual brightness. "So…" He encouraged her to talk.

She sighed then quickly let all her words come out in one breath, "My name is Paige Halliwell and I'm the daughter of Patty Halliwell and…" She stopped herself and hesitated for a second before finishing, "…well you," Slowly she looked back up form the her knees where her eyes were fixed upon to see his reaction.

Sam didn't really look too surprised, his voice came out soft almost a whisper, "Paige," His eyes shone bright, he looked happy not disappointed like she had imagined so many times.

"You're not shocked?" Paige asked quietly.

"When I you came over to me I recognised you but I couldn't think form where and then when I found out your name was Paige…well I thought it was too much of a coincidence though. How could I have not known though, you look so much like your mother," His face etched with pain for a second before he quickly composed himself and smiled at Paige, "You are so grown up looking,"

"Well judging by the fact the last time you saw me was when I was a new-born baby I'd say so," As soon as it came out she regretted it but she didn't know where it came from.

Sam looked down, "Paige I have regretted leaving you everyday but I had to…"

"Why?" Paige interrupted him boldly.

"Well…it's complicated,"

"Oh," Paige didn't really know what to say now.

There was an awkward silence filled only by the clock on the back wall.

"So I guess you still live at the manor," It was more a statement than a question.

Paige nodded then stopped halfway, "Wait if you knew where I still lived then why did you never get in touch?"

"Well when I left I did intend to come back but well…lets just say I lost my job and everything was going wrong, I was in a bad way but then I met Sarah,"

Paige could guess who this Sarah was, "And you forgot all about me," Paige finished.

"No that's not true but Sarah found out she was pregnant literally months after we met and that kept me bust and I had just started a new career…"

"As a policeman?"

Sam nodded, "Look Paige I think about you everyday but…"

"It would have been awkward to come back after all those years," She again finished his sentence.

"Well…yeah," He sighed.

"Its okay really I mean I actually only found out about you a couple of months ago,"

"What?"

"Well I was always just told Victor was my dad but he stopped by a couple of months ago and it all came out,"

"I'm sorry," Sam sighed again.

"For what?"

"Giving you such a pathetic excuse for a dad," He answered.

"I don't think that. I mean you are probably a great dad to your other kid,"

Sam gave a small smile, "I'd like to think so, I'm just sorry I wasn't for you but I hope I can make that up to you a little…like by taking you to lunch tomorrow?"

Paige thought about it, "Okay, I'd like that,"

Mrs. Clarke suddenly came through the door obviously surprised they were still there, "Oh sorry…"

"No its okay we were just leaving, " He smiled at Mrs. Clarke the turned to Paige again, "I'll pick you up tomorrow at the manor about one,"

Paige smiled and nodded and they both left the room together leaving a confused looking Mrs. Clarke.

Phoebe sat down in the cinema seats at the back. Seconds after her a guy came up to her, "Here you go," smiling he handed her a box of popcorn but accidentally let it slip from his hands causing the popcorn to spill out all over the floor. "Sorry," He apologised bending down to pick it all up. He silently cursed himself.

Phoebe bent down and helped the boy who was her date, Jamie, "It's okay, really," She smiled at him.

Rising up again since it was all picked up he smiled at her, "I guess I'm just nervous, I mean you are so beautiful,"

Phoebe blushed, thankful it was dark, "Thank you,"

"I'm only speaking truth," He grinned and suddenly all Phoebe saw was Cole's face grinning back at her, quickly she shook it off.

"You okay?" Jamie asked seeing her expression.

Fixing her mouth into a smile she nodded.

"Good," The movie started and Phoebe felt Jamie slowly put his arm around her shoulders, she weakly smiled at him.

After the movie finished Jamie walked her home, "Well bye and thanks," Phoebe said as the stood outside the manor.

"Your welcome," Jamie paused a minute then leant in and kissed her lips, she felt weird and it didn't fell right but she kissed back.

Grinning afterwards he waved bye and left.

Phoebe sighed and her eyes caught Prue looking at her through the living room window, as soon as she saw Phoebe see her she closed the blinds quickly,

Shaking her head Phoebe entered the manor only to be met by Prue as soon as she walked in, "So did you have a good time?"

"Yeah it was fine," Phoebe answered casually hanging her coat on the rack by the door.

"Just fine? Well you are back at eight but you know it's only to be expected I guess,"

"What? Why?" Phoebe asked curiously.

"Well you know so soon after Cole and…"

Phoebe sighed in frustration, "Prue I do not need Cole," Phoebe said trying to put the image she had of Cole from her head.

"I know you don't need him sweetie but its okay to miss him,"

"Prue stop okay I had a great time tonight, I mean we kissed so what does that tell you?"

Prue was about to answer but Phoebe cut her off, "You know never mind I don't want to hear," And with that she stormed upstairs, her image of Cole going with her.

Prue sighed she hadn't meant to make Phoebe angry, she leant back against the doorframe being interrupted from her thought by the doorbell.

"Hi," She smiled happily as she saw Andy standing there.

"Hey sorry I'm a little late but the Chinese was really busy," He kissed her on the cheek as he entered carrying a bag full of food.

"That's okay come on I'll get plates," He followed her through to the kitchen.

They sat down to their meal eating hungrily but about halfway through Andy's phone went off, sighing he took it out and read the message he had received the looked up at Prue apologetically, "Its Lindsay, she says she needs me to come over straightaway,"

"So ignore her," Prue's voice was calm but he could tell she was not happy.

"I can't what if it's important," He reasoned gently.

"It won't be she probably just wants ice cream or something,"

"Prue I'm really sorry…"

"Wait you are choosing her over me?" Prue asked in disbelief.

"No it's just…"

"Exactly what you are doing," Prue finished coldly. Andy was about to speak, "Save it," Prue stopped him, "Just go, its obvious she is more important,"

"Hey that is not true you mean way more to me and you know it,"

"Do I? Prove it,"

"Okay I will…right I was going to wait until you're birthday for this but now is good…okay Prue will you marry me?"

Prue looked at him taken, "What?"

"It's a simple question,"

"Andy we can't we're too young…"

"So some people say we're too young to have a baby but we did that and we don't have to get married straightaway, we cam wait a bit if…"

"Andy shut up," Prue smiled, "My answer is yes, of course I'll marry you,"

"You will? Oh my God that's great!" Andy stood up and pulled Prue to her feet, lifted her up and spun her round and round before kissing her happily.

Piper sat at her desk doing her homework but she couldn't help but steal a glance at her phone every few seconds, willing it to ring.

It had been over a week and Leo hadn't called her. She was beginning to think he had forgotten about her her. That he'd already met a new girl.

A sudden noise brought her back to reality but it took her a second to figure out it was her phone, surprised she looked at it. The caller ID said Leo. Her heart jumped and she answered it quickly.

"Leo,"

"Yeah its me," Came the soft voice on the other side.

"You don't know how good it is to hear you're voice," She smiled.

"I know what you mean," He sighed, "Listen sorry I haven't called but my parents have banned me and Cole form talking to you both saying we need to move on but I couldn't I needed to hear you, I miss you so much,"

"Me too, I'm going crazy over here, I need to see you,"

"Me too…. Look I've got an idea of how we could be together,"

Piper seemed surprised, "How?"

"Run away," Leo said quietly.

"Run away? Leo that's crazy we cant," Piper protested.

"How not, all I know is I can't be without you,"

Piper was silent for a minute thinking it over.

Leo waited anxiously, "Piper you still there?"

"Okay…lets do it," Came Piper's voice.

"Seriously?" Leo asked his heart beating fast as he spoke.

"Yeah I love you and I want to be with you, I'll do whatever it takes to be with you,"

Leo breathed happily.

"Oh my God I can't believe we are even talking about this, it's so crazy," Piper gave a nervous laugh.

"Love make you do crazy things," Leo grinned.

"So we're really doing this?" Piper asked.

"Yeah, we're running away, we're going to be together no matter what, I promise,"
