Okay, this is the final chapter. Thank you so much for the reviews! I'll write new stories but at least for now I'm done with Ashley. Thank you! Oh, and I made a little mistake. Everything Chris and Mel read in Ashley's diaries is suppose to happen 2021 instead of 2020. Sorry, I should've been more careful.

Oh, and by the way, I think I've forgot to say this too many times: I do not own charmed! I wish I did but I don't…

Chapter seven: The end of the misery…

"I'm right here, Ashley… Just let it all out…" Leo whispered into his daughter's ear. "I'm sorry, Daddy. I'm so sorry", Ashley said, her face still buried in Leo's chest. "For what, honey? You haven't done anything wrong! I just wish you would've told us sooner, that's all. You didn't have to go through this all by your self."

Ashley pulled away from her father's hug and looked around. Everything was grey and she didn't hear Devil anymore. "Where are we?" "This is a waiting room. From here I hope I'll take you home", Leo answered. "You hope?" "Well, you have to decide yourself. Will you come with me or not?"

For anyone else, that would've been an easy question. But Ashley found it surprisingly hard. She dried her tears with the back of her hand. Would she go with Leo? Would everything be better? It would be so easy just to stop the pain here… Just float away and let it all end.

"How do we get back?" Ashley asked. Leo smiled. For a moment he had actually thought Ashley would let go. "Just take my hand and concentrate", he advised his daughter. Ashley took his hand. "What do I concentrate on?" "Anything at home that is strong enough to bring you back. Anything to live for." Ashley closed her eyes. She saw her mother and brothers… she saw Mel and Lisa… she saw Paige, Richard, Nick, Cole and… Phoebe… She saw them all. They all loved her, just as Leo had said. Suddenly she felt as if someone had pulled her out from cold water. She heard gentle voices… and she wanted to reach them.

Leo woke up before Ashley. "She's waking up", he said when Piper opened her mouth. And when he had said that, Ashley started to stir. "Mommy?" A sigh of relief escaped from Piper's mouth. "I'm right here, Ashley. I'm not going anywhere."

Slowly Ashley opened her eyes. She took a little scan around the room before sitting up and wrapping her arms around Piper. "Hey, hey… It's okay, everything's okay now", Piper said. "Is it?" Ashley whispered. "Yes, honey, it is. Nothing will harm you anymore. I promise."

Ashley nodded as she pulled away. She looked around to see everyone's still worried faces. "I scared you, didn't I?" "Oh, not at all", Wyatt said sarcastically. "We only found you unconscious in the bathroom, then we find out that you could die… Why would we worry?" Ashley smiled a little and blushed. "Sorry…" "Oh no, don't be!" Wyatt said quickly. "It's nice to worry about you every once in a while. And besides, we had an opportunity to read your diaries, so…"

"Wait wait, what!" Then Ashley saw all her diaries on her floor and blushed even harder. "Which ones did you read?" "Only the ones with hard stuff in them", Paige said. "Although I did read something interesting in one book that you wrote when you were eleven. You had a crush on Chris's best friend?" Chris looked stunned. "You had a crush on Thomas?"

Ashley was very pink now. But before she could say anything to defend herself, Lisa said: "I thought he was cute, too." Everyone looked at her. "What?" "You were seven!" Ashley pointed out. "Oh, like you didn't have a crush on when you were seven. Now that we're being honest, should we tell everyone who YOU had crush on when you were seven", Lisa said, with a smile on her face. "How would you know who I had a crush on?" Ashley asked. "I don't, but I'm sure one of you diaries will tell it for me!" Lisa picked up one very old looking diary up and opened it. "Oh, no you don't!" Ashley yelled, though she was laughing. She jumped of the bed and took the diary from Lisa's hands.

"What's that?" Leo asked. A picture had dropped to floor. Ashley picked it up and her smile disappeared. "It's uh… It's a picture of Prue…" she said and gave it to Leo. He looked at it. Piper looked at it too, and smiled. "She really does look like your aunt. How old is she in this?" "It's from her first birthday", Ashley said. She took the picture from Piper and put it back into the diary.

Suddenly something hit Ashley. She HAD to make peace with Phoebe. "Hey, you two. Do you think your Mom's home?" she asked from Mel and Lisa. "Yeah, why?" "Well, I think it's about time for her to know, too. Everything. Maybe she'll understand then."

Yeah, maybe she will. But before going to her aunt and uncle's house, Ashley made a phone call to France. She made sure she was alone now and then dialled the number. She waited few moments. "Mrs. Jiller." "Hi, Mrs. Jiller. It's Ashley", Ashley said. "Oh, hi dear! How're you doing?" Mrs. Jiller asked. "I'm doing fine, thanks. So how's Prue?" "She's doing great! She is such a little daring, just like you." Ashley smiled a little. "Mrs. Jiller. Don't take this a wrong way but I have to know that Prue is in a family where she can tell everything and know that she is still loved. That she never has to doubt the fact that you love her."

Mrs. Jiller was quiet for a moment, obviously confused. "Of course, Ashley. We would never stop loving her, never!" "Whatever she tells you, you're on her side?" "Yes." "You swear?" "I cross my heart and bones." Ashley sighed. She knew that Mrs. Jiller was telling the truth. "Thank you…" she said. If she had ever doubted it before, she was sure now that her daughter was never gonna feel the same unhappiness that she had. She was sure now that Prue was gonna survive if anything happened to her. After all, she was half Halliwell…

THE END

AN: so that was it, I hope you enjoyed it. Maybe I someday will write more about Ashley, but not in a while… Thank you for everyone who has sent me reviews and for those who had read the story but not reviewed.
