Time Alone With Family
It was 7:45 at night. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe were all sitting down on the couch, talking and laughing. They had been there for 4 hours so far, just reminiscing about the past.
"Ok, ok," Phoebe said, as all three slowly stopped laughing, "I remember one."
"I remember the time that we were younger. Patrick was 15, Prue was 12, Piper was 9, and I was 6. Pat, Piper, and I were all sitting down with grams and grandpa. We were playing a game and Prue, mom, and dad came in," Phoebe started. Both her sisters were just sitting there, listening. "Well, as you guys came in, we heard you three yelling. And what I remember from it was that you had wanted to get a really short skirt but of course being with dad, he said no and you got mad. I remember that your response to him telling you no was that everyone was wearing them in school," she said. Phoebe sat there, shocked that her youngest sister had remembered that, and Piper laughed.
"Jeez Prue, that had to be the stupidest reason that I have ever heard," Piper said, as she laughed.
"Now, from what I remember there was more to that then just what you had said," someone had said behind them. All three turned around shocked.
"Oh Pat, it's really you," Phoebe said, as she got up and ran to him. Her two other sisters quickly joined her. Patrick was their oldest brother. He was 21 years old and a junior in college. He didn't come over as much as he had use to so whenever he did, the three girls spent as much time with him as they could.
"Is that who I think it is," someone else had said. The four siblings turned around to see, Allen, their grandfather standing there. "Hey grandpa, it's good to see you again," Pat said as he hugged him.
"Where's grams?" he asked.
"Um, she's in the kitchen making dinner," their grandfather replied. Pat nodded his head before going into the kitchen. As soon as he was out of sight, Piper turned around and walked upstairs. As soon as she got to her room, she collapsed on her bed and cried. Not even 2 minutes later, someone slowly walked in.
"Piper," he said. She lied on her bed and continued crying. He felt his heart break at the sight in front of him.
"Piper," he said again, as he sat on the bed.
"I just don't get it," she said, as she cried.
"I know, I don't get it either," he said.
"They didn't do anything wrong. They were the best parents in the world and they didn't deserve to die," she added. He felt the tears rush to his eyes when she said this. He then quickly picked her up and let her cry on his shoulder.
"I know. I don't understand it either. I don't understand why that guy didn't stop at the red light. I don't understand why mom and dad just couldn't stay at the park with us and listen to us to not go to the store. Why didn't they just stay at the park with us," he cried. She stopped crying and slowly brought her head up. She looked at him shocked. He had never cried in front of people, especially his family. Before she could even say anything, their sisters came in, along with their grandparents.
"Are you two ok?" asked, Penny, their grandmother. They didn't say anything and they didn't have too. Instead of them answering, Piper lowered her head back down and cried. Once the other 4 saw this, they came over and tried their best to comfort them. As soon as all 6 got together, they cried. They had cried worse than they did the day of the funeral. They had finally grieved for the loss of the only two people that the six of them had loved more than before and had missed for two years.
