The Argument
They walked into the room, only to be pushed back out by her grandfather.
"Where were you?" he asked angrily.
"I told you that I would be back. I just went outside to get some air and call Mike," she replied.
"Oh, so instead of being here for your grandmother, you would rather be with him!" he exploded. Piper just stood there, completely shocked and confused by his reaction.
"What?" she asked.
"You heard me. You know what, just go home. I don't want you here right now," he said, before turning around and walking back into the room. She just stood there and watched as her sisters and brother sat in the room and the door closed.
"Come on. Let's go. We'll come back later to see how she's doing," Mike said, as he led her away from the room. They walked out of the hospital, to his car, and left. The whole time, Allen was watching from the window, with tears in his eyes. They had arrived back at her house half an hour later. They both got out and walked into the house.
"Are you ok?" he asked, as they hung up their coats and she walked into the living room.
"Do I look ok?" she asked, more harshly than she had meant to. "I'm sorry," she added, "it's just that I really wanted to be there for her. But he got all mad just because I called you and asked you to come." Piper was now in tears once again. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her once again. They just stood there as she cried on his shoulder. After 5 minutes, of him comforting her, they broke the hug and walked over to the couch. They looked at each other, as they started moving closer to one another and started kissing. As it started to get deeper and more passionate, she quickly broke the kiss.
"I'm sorry but I can't do this right now. Not with what is going on with my grandmother," Piper said.
"I know, I'm sorry about that," Mike replied. "So, what do you want me to do?" he asked.
"Can you just hold me please?" she asked. He didn't hesitate with that. He put his arms around her and brought her close to him so that her head was resting on his chest. The two had eventually fallen asleep like this.
She was quickly woken up, when she felt herself fall against the arm of the couch."Mike?" she asked, not seeing him.
"Piper, help!" he replied. She heard the tone of his voice and immediately got up. As soon as she did, she heard her brother yelling.
"What do you think you are doing here! What were you doing with my sister! I saw the way you were laying on the couch, so don't even tell me you weren't doing anything. She's only 15!" he screamed, as he pinned Mike against the wall.
"Patrick!" Piper yelled, running into the kitchen.
"Get off of him. We didn't do anything. We just fell asleep on the couch!" she yelled at him. She had to use all her strength to get Pat off of Mike. She forcefully pushed him away, before going to Mike's side.
"Are you ok?" she asked, worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied, holding his jaw. "Listen, I'll see you later," he added, before walking out the front door.
"No, Mike, don't go, please!" she begged, chasing him to the door, tears glistening in her eyes. She watched as he got into his car and sped angrily down the street.
"Piper," Pat said, walking into the living room. She slowly turned around and looked at him. He could see the anger on her face.
"What do you want?" she asked, trying not to yell.
"I just wanted to ask if you are alright. I know what Grandpa said to you before. He asked me to come see if you're ok," he replied. He saw her anger become worse.
"Am I alright? No, I'm not. I was yelled and screamed at by our Grandfather this morning for no reason, told to leave hospital without seeing how my Grandmother is, and then you come in here and try to beat up my boyfriend just because we fell asleep on the couch. Now, you have the nerve to ask if I'm alright!" she yelled now. He stood there, speechless.
"I'm sorr…" he started.
"No, I don't want to hear it. Are you stupid or something? Do you seriously think that I would do something like that? I only 15 and he's only 16. Plus, we already said that we'd wait, not like it's any of your business. But, no, you still have to try and beat him up. You have to realize something. I'm not a little kid anymore. I'm growing up just like everyone else, and there is nothing you can do about it," she explained, anger still in her voice.
"I just have to say one thing about all this," he started, "I don't like him or trust him, and you're not seeing him anymore." He saw the anger rush back to her face and knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"Who do you think you are! You cannot run my life! I don't care what you say. I can see who ever I want. You're not my father!" she screamed, before slamming the door shut.
