Her Sweet 16

The months had passed since the incident with her brother. Things between them hadn't been the same since then. Whenever Mike had come over to see Piper, she would purposely do things to get Patrick angry. There was one time, just 2 weeks after that incident that Piper had gotten him extremely angry though. Mike and Piper were sitting on the couch and had seen him come in. So she had started to kiss and made it seem like they were going to take it farther than that. Pat had gotten extremely angry and had gone out and had gotten drunk. Then when he was on his way back to the house, he had gotten into an accident. But, he was fine. He had only gotten a minor concussion and had dislocated his shoulder. Other than that, it was just cuts and bruises. Piper had apologized afterward and he had accepted her apology and than he had apologized for being the way he was to her too and she also accepted. Just two days after her grandmother had the heart attack, she had woken up and was able to go home. Now, she wasn't to be under any stress at all, was put on medication, and had to have as much rest as possible.

Now, it was her birthday, her Sweet 16th birthday to be exact. She had woken up at the normal time in the morning and had excitedly gotten ready for school. Even though she had school on her birthday, nothing was going to ruin her day. She ran to the bathroom, took a quick shower, and ran down the stairs for breakfast.

"Morning everyone," she said.

"Good morning Piper," they all responded, like today was nothing. Piper had noticed this, but just ignored it, hoping they were just playing around. After breakfast, she had grabbed her things and ran outside to wait for Mike. After they had started going out, he had started picking her up every morning. As soon as she had gotten outside, though, she practically screamed. Penny, Allen, Prue, and Phoebe just smiled in the kitchen, until Piper came running into the house. She ran to her grandparents and wouldn't stop hugging them.

"Thank you so much!" she said, smiling more than ever now. They just hugged her back.

"Come on Piper. Let's go check it out," Phoebe said, grabbing Piper's hand and pulling her outside. They both ran out. The three others followed, Grams holding the keys. After 5 minutes of talking excitedly and thanking them more, Piper finally left. She had gotten into her new infrared Cadillac CTS Base Sedan and took off down the street for school.

When she had finally gotten to school, she had pulled up into the parking lot and watched as everyone stared at her as she parked and got out of the car, only to lock all the doors with the key pad and walk into the school like it was nothing.

"Hey Mike," Piper said at the beginning of 5 period. They had greeted each other every morning at the beginning of this period.

"Hey," he replied, before they kissed, "Happy birthday."

She smiled at him before saying, "Thank you very much."

"Your welcome," he said, smiling back, as every one once again watched them. Even though they had been going out for 8 months, no one had still really believed it. The school day had passed by quickly and finally it was Piper's party. Her whole family was there, and Mike too. They were at her house, having a great time. She had gotten many, many gifts and by the end of her party, Mike had to help he carry everything up to her room.

"Hey, so how did you like your party?" Mike asked, as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I loved it. Thank you for everything," she replied, as she played with her necklace and bracelet that he had gotten her.

"You welcome. It was no problem," he replied, as she wrapped her arms around his neck and they leaned into to kiss. Pat and Prue watched from the doorway. Prue was happy for them, but Patrick looked more than upset again. As they stood there and watched, they saw Mike whisper into Piper's ear. They then watched as Mike grabbed Piper's hand and they practically ran out of her room.

"Where are they going?" Pat asked Prue.

"How am I supposed to know? I didn't hear what he whispered to her," Prue replied, rolling her eyes. She was tired of the way Pat was acting about Piper and Mike. Pat then grabbed Prue's hand and forced her to follow him down the stairs and after Piper and Mike.

"Piper, where are you going?" Patrick asked. She looked back at him, and laughed, as Mike and her ran faster out the front door and into his car. Pat watched as Piper got into his car and they took off down the street.
