Reviews,

PrueTrudeau; Thanks a lot for the review. Seriously, I completely agree with you and that is the reason for which I write ff in this website. Reviews help me a lot and, of course, I love when people tell me the mistakes I make because that helps me to improve, I just hope that one day I'll write something that, when people read it go like AW THAT IS GOOD. Sadly I am not there yet...Anyway I hope you enjoy this one…ps, I love your outtakes!

emelie172, Thanks for the review! I am glad you liked the story! It really means a lot to me that you said it was original because it is kind of what I am trying to do, something a little different but not too different. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Peanut2lb, I never liked Jack either, I mean, I did but he is no Andy. Andy is the best! Thanks a lot for the review, I was trying to get everyone to understand Andy better…hope you enjoy this new chapter.

Note, sorry guys I forgot to tell you. The big-huge annoying drama part is almost over. Originally this ff was meant as a two-part sequel but I am not going to publish to different stories…because…it is just too much work…so I'll continue…we still have a couple more chapters to go and high school is over…(although I haven't written much about high school) I'll let you know…

Chapter 9

Closer to the end

Prue woke up with Andy's arms around her. The situation didn't feel real and even though Andy had taken so well that she was a witch, she thought that maybe he had taken it too well. She loved Andy, she loved Andy more than anything in the world, she couldn't have taken to lose him in fact, she couldn't even take to think about it. However, why did it feel so wrong? Why didn't she feel glad? Prue stared at Andy who was peacefully asleep; his arms were around her naked body, like saying 'do not ever get away from me'. She would never get away from him, not even if the were torn apart. She had woken up with Andy that morning, but she didn't feel like the happiest woman alive anymore. She was scared, scared of losing him forever just like she did before. She kissed his neck trying to wake him up, in the beginning it didn't work but eventually, Andy started waking.

"I wish I could wake up like that every day" Andy said looking at her in the eyes. Then he saw she was worried. "What's wrong?"

"Remember what we talked about last night?" Prue asked. Andy sighed. "What about it?" He realized that that wasn't the most appropriate question to ask. She looked at her disappointed and said "I feel used"

"What?" He couldn't believe it. "No! Never Prue, I would never…you know I wouldn't use you…"

"I know it is just…well, I don't think you seriously…did you believe me?" Andy sighed again. "I did. I will always believe you…" Prue couldn't help to ask again. "Then why did we jump in to it. We could have done anything else…Don't get me wrong I loved it but…" Prue didn't know what to say. It was true she loved having sex with him. She had loved it since the very first time they did it and nothing has changed. Well, the quality maybe, it had just gotten better and better and that night, that night had been the most amazing of all. "I don't know how to explain it, never mind"

Prue got up and tried to get out of the bed but Andy grabbed her arm and didn't let her go away. Prue looked up to his eyes and saw all his concern. "Please Prue. I have never meant to hurt you, ever. Not even once. I would die for you…"

"Don't say that," Prue begged. "Please Andy, don't say that"

"…it is true! I would die for you over and over again! I want to be part of your life, all of it and if that means that I have to have you flying off our wedding day on a broom fine! If I have to see our kids doing whatever you did last night with your mind…cool! I won't have to get up to get the remote again…but please Prue, don't think I used you because I would NEVER use you…I would die to make you happy" He wasn't lying and Prue knew it. Maybe that was 'the mistake' maybe she shouldn't have told Andy about her powers because he would want to get involved. Her mother's voice yelled in her head "Some people cannot be saved. Some destinies can't be changed" Would Andy be one of those people? Would she be able to save him? After Andy's death she had felt so guilty about it, she felt that somehow it had been her fault. Life had given her a second chance to be happy and she had blown it up again. Prue pulled her arm away and said, "I really have to get home"

Andy got right up and grabbed her arm again, he pulled her into a hug and held her tightly. He knew better than anyone how Prue worked herself up, sometimes she thought everything was her fault when it wasn't…Most of the time she felt responsible for everyone. Most of the time she didn't let him help her, or even be there for her and that was the thing he wanted the most but for some reason or another, she didn't seem to get that someone would love her, although she was, according to Andy, the most beautiful person in the world. "Prue, I know how worked up you are, and I am sorry, sorry you have to go through everything you have to go through. I'm sorry you don't have the life you deserve because if it was up to me I would put you in a mansion in Beverly Hills with no problems at all and a perfect, rich boyfriend who, although he would be perfect he wouldn't love you as much as I do. I am an asshole sometimes, well, most of the time, I am a guy and I don't understand about shit, I just don't get when…Damn it Prue. I'm sorry I hurried everything up yesterday I just…I wasn't thinking, it is like my brain blocked and all I wanted is everything to fade away and make the night ours…Now I see that I shouldn't have jumped on you…that I made you feel…underestimated, and god knows Prue, you are the thing I love the most."

"Aw," Prue couldn't help to think. She wanted to be mad at him but she couldn't. She could never be mad at her Andy. All of the sudden she remembered their 'last' meeting when Andy died, it seemed so far away, which was odd, because technically, it hadn't happen yet. Prue's mind was racing against the possibilities. What if the sisters, now Patty wasn't dead, now the present was different…No, she couldn't possibly think about that. That was wrong, and insane, and wrong. "So are dead people living their teens again…" something said inside her head. "I am torn Andy" was all she could say. "Do you still love me?" Andy asked.

"I love you. I will always love you!" Prue said without thinking. "Then, we will find a way…" Andy said smiling. "Please Prue, can you forgive me for being an insensible asshole?" Prue started laughing and Andy laughed too. "This reminds me to something…" Prue started.

"To what? Me begging you one of the million times I have begged you?" Andy started smiling to her with his natural charm. "Actually" Prue started. "It reminded me when we were kids and you begged me not to climb on to that tree because…"

"…you were going to fall off and get hurt but you" Andy continued. "…didn't listen and climbed anyway and I…" Prue continued without thinking. She didn't remember that…it was some kind of memory that came out to the back of her head. Some of the memories of her 'new' life. "…fell off and broke your arm" Andy finished. "Why did it remind you that?" Prue looked at him in the eyes and said. "Because I saw the same thing in your eyes that I am seeing right now and I realized that I loved you…just like now, no matter what you said…" "I said you couldn't climb because you were a girl" Andy remembered. "And you called me asshole" Prue started laughing. "It was the first time I ever said that word" Somehow they hadn't even moved a muscle, there they were, together, two souls that knew that they were meant to be together, whatever that meant. Prue pulled herself slowly away and said. "I gotta go"

"Wait" Andy begged. "I am coming…and Prue…you are naked remember?" They started laughing again. "Really, I hadn't noticed!" Prue said sarcastically. "I am just going to borrow your clothes"

"Fine, you look sexy as a tomboy"

"I always look sexy"

"Especially when you are mad"

"Excuse me?"

"Prue, you're naked, dressing first, then yelling," Andy said grabbing some underwear and putting it on. Then he grabbed a backpack and started putting money and clothes in it.

"Are you going somewhere?"

"Yeah. To the manor, with you"

"You are kidding aren't you?" Prue stared at him while he went to the bathroom and started to brush his teeth. "You are not kidding"

"Nope"

"And you are coming to the manor?"

"Yup"

"The same manor I live in?"

"Yup"

"You are coming to the manor I live in to live in it with me?"

"Hey! You are getting the idea!"

"Why?"

"Because you are eighteen and whether you agree or not, and honestly I couldn't care less, you can't take care of your sisters without getting worked up, I mean even more. So since you are not moving in here because I know you won't. I am moving in"

"You can't!"

"Watch me"

"Andy!"

"Yes honey?"

"Have you gone mad?"

"I am not the one who is arguing naked!" Andy said sticking his head out of the bathroom. Prue blushed and grabbed one of Andy's long shirts.

Ethan had been waiting at the Manor for hours. Piper, Phoebe and Paige were already asking where Prue had gone and why and he was getting all upset. He had to make breakfast for Paige and Phoebe who didn't care when he said that he didn't cook. He had never done it before. Luckily, Piper was around and she had rescued his butt by saying "Sis, do you really think that he being a guy, can cook?" She had ridiculed him but the didn't care. It was better than burn the house down anyway. He had used all his strength to keep the mystery around him but for some reason Phoebe and Paige would always be there to ask him some annoying question like "So, how do you like work?" or "are you in love with our sister?" or "how old are you?" or "Are you single?" He was going crazy because he had NO idea of how to handle kids, or any human being besides Prue, and he wasn't sure of how to handle Prue anyway. In the ended Prue walked into the Manor trying to hide a smile and only wearing Andy's long shirt and a pair of boxers she had 'borrowed' from him.

"Those are my nice boxers" Andy whined.

"You live in my house. I wear your boxers" Prue sentenced all happy.

"What!" They all yelled, including Ethan. He was looking at Prue with a funny expression and holding up the letter they had gotten the day before. The letter that said he was on trial. "He is living with us? Here at the manor? He is living here with as at the manor? With us? With you, me, Phoebe and Piper?" Paige bubbled. No one could figure if she was excited or just surprised.

"and Ethan" Prue pointed.

"And Ethan!" They all but Ethan and Prue said.

"Yes, look at the bright side, there is going to be more people to do the chores" Prue said happily.

"Does mom know?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't care?"

"You don't?" Paige asked.

"Mom is not coming back…for a while" Prue tried to explain. Paige was speechless and Piper eyes grew big. Although, she was worried about Phoebe's reaction. She didn't want Phoebe to become the rebel again. Everyone stared at each other and didn't say anything.

Ethan and Andy stared at each other and none of them said anything. Andy loved the idea of being with Prue but Ethan wasn't in the plan. "calm down Andy, calm down…he is Prue's…magical…whatever Prue's magical whatever…if he looks at her in a way I don't like I am breaking his legs…I mean…easy Andy, easy" Ethan stared at him a little confused. Why did he feel Andy like a stranger? Like someone stealing Prue from him? He wasn't in love with Prue, it was impossible…but…Prue was his best friend, and Andy was Prue's boyfriend and best friend. Where did that leave him? "Ethan, she would never stop caring about you…just chill, he is the guy she loves, the guy that makes her happy and that is what you want for her…happiness, which is why you risked everything, right? For Prue to be happy…This is going to get nasty" Ethan couldn't help to think.

"So Prue, do you remember this place where I have to go…tomorrow, to meet….them?" Ethan asked trying to get her attention. Prue nodded and said "I am coming with you"

"Me too" Andy added. He would go wherever Prue was going.

"You are?" Ethan, Prue and Andy asked.

"Where are you guys ALL going" Piper asked.

"I have no idea," Andy honestly said

"To the store" Ethan lied

"To the movies" Prue lied. "To the store and then to the movies"

There was an awkward silence only broken by Paige who asked. "well, if this two are moving in, where are they going to sleep?"

"I am sleeping in Prue's room," Andy announced proudly.

"Ew!" Paige said putting a 'grossed-out-girl face' "That is nasty Prue"

"Don't worry honey. Andy will sleep in mom's room once he gets it ready and Ethan will sleep in the guest room"

Phoebe was oddly quiet, a thing that only Prue noticed but she figured it was the shock of the news. Piper couldn't help to laugh to the situation and Paige was a little amazed.

"What did Andy's parents think about this?" Piper asked. "Do they even know?"

"Yeah they do!" Andy smiled, proud again. "I called. They said that they will help us economically and…that I have to follow the chief's rules…"

"That is me" Prue pointed out.

"…and help you guys…and try not to get throw out…and finish high school and… hum…I think that was all.." Andy smiled.

"So you are really moving in…this should be interesting," Piper said.

"Yay! We have a dad again" Paige yelled.

"Well honey…" Prue started to say.

"Yay you have a dad again!" Andy jumped up and down with Paige. Prue looked at him with enamored eyes. Phoebe looked away. Ethan smiled looking at the picture…he was hoping he was allowed to live there…well, so what if he wasn't? he couldn't care less… He wanted to live there badly…although he felt like his paradise wouldn't last much.

That night nobody got much rest, everyone had their heads full of thoughts…too full of thoughts. Prue was wondering if they would have enough money, if they would be alright. She found herself thinking that she was a teenager when she realized that deep inside she wasn't. She was an adult woman in a teenager's body, which was different. She was mature and solid, and strong…and she had Andy and her sisters and no money…They had their mother's money…which wasn't much but they could last…and, she already knew that everything was going to be alright…because they had a future…they were the charmed ones…weren't they? She was torn…in the end she smiled because whether we want it or not, we all grow up and we can either choose to hold on to the past or move on. She had moved on…from the future…which was odd but exciting at the same time. She was a grown woman living all over again. She was mature enough to handle a weird guy who she knew but didn't remember knowing him, a boyfriend who was crazy and much more immature than she was…she found it funny because Andy had never been very mature at all, it was one of the things she liked about him…that he would make everything simple. Even when it wasn't. Andy hadn't slept with her that night, she was glad because she didn't want to have Andy all over her, she needed time. She remembered almost two months ago when Ethan came to save her and how secretive he had been…things had changed a lot…things were right again, or maybe for the first time. She rolled on her bed and stared at the night. Funny how life changes. She didn't know about the future anymore… but there was one, that was for sure, and it would be better. They would be alright…she only wished that Piper, Phoebe and Paige would be alright. She wished she could give them the life they deserved…just as Andy wanted to give it to Prue.

That night, Phoebe thought about her real dad when somewhat anger was growing within her, she didn't know what she was feeling but it hurt her so much. She did know that her mom was gone for good .why couldn't she be more mature and deal with her issues? That was the thing that really bugged her…what if Prue leave too. Her mother left, her father left…What if…she didn't want to think about it. Piper however, saw a flash of lighting in her life. Maybe it wasn't that bad…at least not as bad as she thought…maybe it could be changed for the best…maybe…she could change it, yeah, maybe she could be just like Prue. Paige fell asleep almost immediately, ignoring everything…she didn't care much about the weird guy next room, she was okay and everything looked like it was getting better, just a little more time, she told to herself. Everything would get better…Actually, Paige didn't care much, for some reason she had always wanted a family and that was what she had, a family, a weird one…but a family in itself.

Ethan, however, was the only one who was worried to death. Panic in his bed was consuming him. Burning his skin off, his fears were tearing him apart again and he had no options. I am good, he had to tell himself…but until when? He loved the Halliwells and he could get used to Andy but his anger was taking over and he couldn't handle his fear. His fear of becoming part of something that he wasn't part of. Of following the path of someone else. He feared that eventually he would follow a path to hell. It was an scary thought.

Something in the night got colder and Ethan curled in his bed. Crying…he hadn't cried like that in a long, long time. Someone in the dark sat right by him and smirked at him in the dark. A cold hand started touching his hair and he felt a wave of evil anger running inside him. Taking over. He had to fight it…boy, he needed Logan really bad but he couldn't leave the Manor, he didn't want to leave the manor.

"This is why you can't have a normal life Ethan…because…you don't accept who you are..." The voice said. It was a woman. It was worse than evil itself. It was The Seer. "However, you could live like this…you would have to accept the fact that you are evil…and live with it…here, in your little Halliwell paradise"

"I am not evil" Ethan murmured more to himself than to the Seer. He tried to move but he was too scared of the woman…no, he was scared of himself. "You won't win me over… I am good. Prue told me that. Someone is who they want to be…not who they are meant to be, that is bullshit!"

"anything you want to believe, Ethan…but just think…think about the possibilities you and I would have together…you could take back what is yours…you could…save the Halliwells...from all evil…give Prue the life you want her to have…She would love you because you would give her the chance to be with Andy. You know Ethan, deep down that Prue is not the unique one…it is you" The Seer was trying to get in his mind and he knew it. He had been told by the elders…he had seen what she did to Cole in the past…future…He had seen her powers and he wouldn't fall. Ethan sat up on his bed and gave her an evil smile.

"You are going to need way more to win me over, Seer. I am surprise though, how come you dare to talk to me…when last time you almost fainted. Is he here? Yeah, he is. I can feel him. How pathetic" Ethan said with a jocose tone.

The Seer touched his face and he made a grimace, hating it all the way. He pushed her hand away and met her eyes. "Remember what I told you the last time we met?" Ethan said this last thing wickedly. "I told you that you would get fried"

The Seer looked at him with horror and materialized a knife in his hand. He stuck it in the Seer. He felt electricity going through it and get into the Seer who started shaking. Ethan's eyes lightened and the Seer sighed her last breath. Ethan felt how the woman fell against him with no motion at all. Her eyes were wide open and some smoke was coming out of them. "desapracio" he murmured, and the Seers body vanished in the air. "No one has to know about this" he thought. He remembered.

The Seer stepped back and left Piper alone. She was looking at Ethan. "Are you going to kill me?"

"Yeah" Ethan admitted. "Eventually" Piper tried to scream but Ethan looked at her and she knew she shouldn't say a word. "Not now though…It wouldn't be as fun. Second thought, Killing is never fun is it? I don't know…I have never done it."

That time he had felt powerful He had thought it was funny to joke around death. Now, she had killed a woman…not a woman, he had killed the Seer…She was evil, she didn't deserve to live. She was evil. She would have killed him. He could make as many excuses as he could think about but the truth was that she had had no damn chance against him.

"You shall not care about that but the fact, that if you touch or attempt to touch one of the Halliwells, I'll hunt you down and kill you…bring you back to life, which I can do…and kill you over and over again. After all I have the entire eternity so I could do it very slowly…"

He could hear his own voice saying that and he didn't feel good about it. He couldn't take to kill anyone. He had hated it…He felt like he was broken inside. He felt like anger was ripping his guts off. He felt like dying…He coughed because he didn't want to cry but in the end he broke into tears. He wrapped himself with his arms and all of the sudden, he felt a warm arm around him. He looked up and saw two brown eyes. "Oh damn" He thought. It was Piper but she didn't seem like she had seen what had just happened. He was staring at him, smiling. (yes, she hadn't seen anything).

"it was you, wasn't it? I just realized it…that night, in the alley…when I ran away…it was you the one who saved me Weren't you?"
