Chapter 4: Here

Disclaimer: Two words: Pale Skin

A/N: I know an apology means like nothing these days guys, but I really am sorry for the late update. I've just had the flu for the past two weeks and I've been kinda bed-ridden.

"What?" Bane was the first one to speak.

"Oh my God!" Phoebe said gleefully.

Piper buried her head in Leo's shoulder, knowing she would have to deal with much of the mess Prue had just made.

"What?" Prue asked of herself.

"You just said Andy. You said you missed Andy. Prue, who's Andy?" Bane asked, not really wanting an answer.

"He's…he's just..." Prue began.

"Just the love of her life!" Phoebe said through laughs.

"Phoebe!" Prue barked.

Phoebe shrugged her shoulders and put one hand to her face. She looked around as if someone else had just said the words that came out of her mouth.

Piper sighed, raised her head, and tried to start to fix the problem and restore peace in the Halliwell home.

"Phoebe, go to your room, please, just go," Piper decided that the first step was to remove the one person that was determined to make the situation worse.

"Excuse you?" Phoebe asked.

"Phoebe please," Piper tried once more, this time with desperation in her voice.

"I have a right to be hereit's my house just as much as it is yours or Prue's," Phoebe retorted, "I have more a right than most people do," she said directing an icy glare to Bane.

"You know what," Cole began, "Phoebe, Pam, Piper, and Leo follow me."

Prue looked up at Cole with surprise and appreciation.

"Thanks," she said genuinely as she looked at Cole. He simply smiled at led the rest of the group out of the house.

She thought maybe she had been too hard on Cole earlier in the kitchen. But remembering what she had heard earlier the thought was expunged from her mind as thought on the people who were going to leave the Manor.

"Actually, can Piper and Leo stay?" Prue asked innocently.

Piper looked a bit concerned for a second before she answered.

"Sure honey. Of course we'll stay," was the reply that she gave her sister.

Cole, Pam, and Phoebe left the manor and Piper turned to Prue who had a stern look on her face.

"Prue what's the matter?" asked Leo.

"Before I hugged Bane….before I said..." Prue trailed off not sure if she should say her next words.

"Before I said I missed Andy," Prue continued, averting Bane's eyes, "I heard something. It was someone saying 'Prue, it's me. I need your help.' I don't know what to make of it, but it sounded like Andy. No...it was Andy."

Piper looked puzzled as Leo thought on ways Andy could be communicating with Prue.

"Sorry to interrupt," Bane spoke, "But is Andy a witch too?" He tried to help rather than let his questions about Prue and this Andy's romantic history plague his mind.

"Umm……no. He wasn't. He was…just a…a cop," Prue answered, he voice getting quieter with every word she spoke. She hung her head and Bane felt about an inch tall thinking he had said something he shouldn't of.

"You said he was a cop…is he…" Bane began.

"He got killed," Piper answered, "he was trying to save us from a demon about six years ago."

"Oh," was all Bane could say.

"Prue, I'll check the Book and read up on spirits," Piper told her sister.

"I'll check with the Elders," Leo reinforced.

Prue nodded and watched Leo orb away, kissing Piper's head before he left.

Bane looked startled at Leo's orbs, never seeing a Whitelighter orb before.

"So…Prue who is Andy?" Bane asked.

"I know right now probably isn't the best time…but I just need to know. Is it like Phoebe said?" He continued.

"Bane…Andy and I were together in High School, but we broke up. We got back together a couple of years ago but he left me when he thought I was hiding something from him. He found out I was a witch but he got killed before we really got to discuss the matter much."

"Prue, I'm here for you. I want you to know that I'm here. But I want to know what he meant to you. Who was he to you?" Bane prodded.

"He was..." Prue began, "Ban, he was…"

But just as Prue was going to answer, she heard again the voice that had caused the confusion.

"Tell him Prue. Tell him who I am to you. You know who I am. I'm here."
