Disclaimer , I always forget to write this thing damn it! Well, you all know that I don't know charmed but, I DO own Ethan! Yay!

And about Ethan, he is an eighteen year old guy who has been treated miserably since the moment of his birth. His nature, as many of you have already figured, it is not very good and he is mad, really mad. He has a huge power, and, he doesn't know what to do with it. It is sort of, like when rich kids waste their money on drugs because they don't know what else to do. Anyway, I just wanted to defend him lol. He is not much of a demon, just a confused-mad teenager with powers. Lol.

Just one more thing, this is the last chapter set in high school. The following, I'm thinking around 12 chapters are going to start from the first season and time is going to go by faster than in this one. I need to warn you guys that, the ff is going to get darker and darker until the end and more dramatic in some ways so I won't blame you if you decide to stop reading. Thank you guys for review every single chapter because you are the ones who keep this going.

Chapter 11

Foreshadowing what's to come

Prue woke up in the middle of the night, struggling to catch her breath again. She closed her eyes in the dark and breathed. She felt cold and strange as she had felt ever since the trial. She didn't want to admit that she was going through a hard time. She didn't rest at night, it was just like if was always caught up in some weird dream that didn't let her rest or maybe, made her feel guilty, sad and scared for no reason. In the beginning, she was always tired and worked up, however, six months after the trial she was beyond everything I have already described. She was starting to feel anger within herself and getting irritable. Nevertheless, all the feelings always went away when she saw Andy by her side. All those feelings were replaced by the love she felt for him and her will of running the house. She didn't know how they were making it but they were running the house all together, and it was working. Piper had gotten a job in a little restaurant washing dishes, it wasn't much but it brought money home so it worked. Andy got the job at the cop station and Prue was working at Safeway. Also, Andy's parents and grandparents who were stuffed with money helped them along, and of course, Patty too. None of the girls but Prue knew that Patty put money into their bank account every month. Another thing Prue felt guilty for, her mother, she knew it wasn't her fault, she knew it was beyond her control but still, she thought she could have tried to work all their issues. She sighted, oh well, things weren't exactly bad for them so why worry about it? Prue knew that sometimes, in life, bad things happen to good people and you have to let them go before they destroy you. If only Ethan had known that…again, she felt responsible. The truth was that even if it hurt, Prue had bottled her feelings and convinced herself that she would make it up some day.

Luckily, it was Sunday, the still had one more day to relax at home before the last week of school before the finals, and graduation. She was glad –and surprised—that she had kept her grades as high as always. Phoebe had done great too and so did Piper. Even Andy had brought all his grades up, mainly because Prue forced him to study, even if he didn't want to. Prue had even chosen a university close to home, the USF, and she even had the scholarship so she wouldn't have to pay a dollar. She was glad she was given a chance. She always thought she was going to be a photographer and deep inside she would always love photography, but she could always take pictures and it would always be her hobby, just like writers. They write and still have another job on their own. She had decided she would become a psychologist, she didn't know where she got the idea from or whether she would make it or not but she felt that for the first time she had a reason to do something and a reason to help people without having to use violence, no, no more violence or fights for Prue Halliwell. She had thought, that maybe, there was another Ethan somewhere. A lost kid she could help to find the right path so maybe, she could make it up for Ethan. However, Ethan hadn't just influenced Prue but Also Andy, Andy wanted to be a cop a regular one, but that was before he met Ethan and found out that Prue was a witch. The last months had rocked his life until the point that he had changed his mind a little bit. He wanted more than to be a cop; he wanted to be a criminal scientist. He didn't just wanted to leave the case and call the big ones when it got interesting, he wanted to have something to do with the case not just drive around and eat donuts like the cops at the station did.

Prue looked around and saw that Andy wasn't in bed or in the bathroom. She got up and went to the kitchen expecting to find him there, and there he was, sitting at the table with a Coke can and a football magazine. Prue smiled, she would never find him reading a newspaper. "Hi honey" Andy said.

"Wow" Prue laughed. "We looked married you know?"

"Yeah, it is great because we get to live together but we don't have to pay for the wedding and make a list and hire some people to set it all up because we can't find time for our own wedding and…"

"Jezz Andy, I get the idea" Prue laughed while she sat at the table with him. "What's with the coke?"

"This?" Andy looked at the coke. "You weren't awake and I don't know how to make coffee so I grabbed a coke. I need caffeine too you know?"

Prue stared at him shaking her head and smiling. "You are silly" Andy made a weird face and they both started laughing. "Do you want coffee?" Prue asked sweetly.

"No thanks," Andy answered going back to his article. He wasn't reading, he was just trying to figure out how he was going to tell Prue the big thing he had to tell her.

"Argg"

"Prue" Andy called her.

"What? You want coffee now?" Prue asked him distracted.

"I want to talk with you," Andy said. Prue gazed at him and sat at the table. She panicked; she remembered how they broke up because he was moving away. How they didn't see each other for years. She could take it because she didn't know that Andy was in fact, the only man she would ever love, her soul mate. This time, she was aware of that and she didn't know what she would do if she lost him. "Remember how I told you that I wanted to go to Portland University?"

Prue nodded feeling how the world was falling on her shoulders. "Andy, if you really want to go, it is fine…seriously, I'll wait for you and if you don't want me to wait I'll let you go and..." Prue stopped, and marry the wrong woman, she had been about to say. "…and live your life"

"Prue…"

"and it is fine, because I know that maybe you want to meet other women before…well, you know, before…" Prue stopped again. Before you realize I am the one if you haven't yet. "It is fine Andy. It is cool with me," Prue tried to smile.

Andy started laughing hysterically and said "Really? Because I was worried you wouldn't come to Prom with me and throw me out of the house and this proved me…" Andy stopped to stare at the effect of his words; he had just hurt Prue. He changed his voice tone and said "…that you love me enough to let me go," Prue nodded faking a smile. "but you have never learned to listen have you?"

Prue's eyes grew big and confused, she stared at him. Her hear was racing because she knew what he was about to say, she just couldn't believe it.

"I am not going to Portland Prue," Andy explained. "I won't leave you. I am going to USF, with you. I know we won't have any class together but…it is worth it"

Prue jumped on his arms and kissed him happily. Too bad they didn't know how bad things were going to get, not too long after that kiss but long enough to make them think everything was alright. "All of the sudden, to graduate seems exciting to me," Prue laughed. Andy was going to point out that Prue had been wanting to graduate since the very first moment she set a foot in the high school. It didn't matter how popular she was, or smart, Prue had always wanted more than what high school could give her. However, before he said anything Phoebe walked into the kitchen and sat at the table, frustrated and worried.

Phoebe stared at Prue in silence wondering how could she say 'I need to get out of the house' nicely without hurting her sister's feelings, or Andy's, who had become something like a brother for her. Specially the last few months when Prue had been a little off. Phoebe looked everywhere as if she was going to get inspiration from the walls, sighed and figured that there wasn't a nice way to say it, just a reasonable one.

"Look, Prue, before you freak out, just tell me you will let me finish and think over what I am going to tell you now. Okay?" Phoebe said. But she really meant something like "Prue, you are not mom so you don't have any right to freak out about what I am going to tell you because you are just my sister and everything that is wrong in this house it is your fucking fault." Prue nodded trying to read her sister's eyes but she couldn't. She just stared. "There is a scholarship, a full one, you wouldn't have to pay anything, not even the plain ticket…" Prue was going to stand up and yell, she freaked out at the mention of 'plain ticket and scholarship' but Phoebe didn't let her and continued talking. "It is a boarding school in Italy and I have already applied and I am in! It is a two-year scholarship so I would be back for my senior year! I would graduate here in the US and you wouldn't have to worry about me because I would be out and…"

"No. Absolutely no. No way" Prue shook her head. "You don't even know Italian!"

"I do know Italian! Besides, the school is for foreign people and everything is taught in English!" Phoebe argued. "And mom is not around, nor is dad, so why can't I go, I don't have a life here"

"What am I then?" Prue replied hurtfully. "I am your sister. How do you know Italian? How did you apply anyway?" Prue almost yelled.

"I got mom's signature when she was drunk," Phoebe said with dark eyes. She faced Prue and said. "Prue, you have been trying to raise us these last months but is not working. You don't even know that besides the Italian classes at high school I have been watching movies and everything…and, okay I don't know Italian but I sort of understand it so I could work something out, you don't learn until you try!" Phoebe gazed at Prue. "I really need to leave Prue, I…can't stand living here"

"Phoebe, please" Prue said not believing her. "You have a nice life, you have us and Cole, how long have you guys being seeing each other, four months?"

"Cole and I hang out as friends!"

"That doesn't mean you guys can't be more than friends!"

"Are you trying to hook me with Cole?...You know what? I don't care…I am going, whether you like it or not because I have been accepted already, so suck it up Prue. I don't care"

"Wh... What?" Prue asked having a horrible feeling of Déjà vu.

"Prue, I am going to New York whether you like it or not because I can't stand being here, I don't want to study or go to college because it is stupid and it is not worth it, and it sucks! It sucks living here, I hate it, you are not mom, you try but you will never be like her, and now grams is fucking gone you can't keep me here because you want to feel important. You have your life but I don't have anything…I'm leaving and that's it!" Phoebe yelled at Prue who was looking at her stunned. In fact, Prue was secretly sick of taking care of her, she was always in some kind of trouble and she didn't want to carry with Phoebe anymore. So what if she leaves?

"Fine you brat, you leave but I swear to you that if you cross that door you are not coming back!" Prue yelled with her eyes filled with tears.

Prue felt trapped in the same situation, but she had given another chance and she had to do things right that time. Ethan was something she didn't do right in her first life…just that. Phoebe didn't have to pay for it. Prue breathed and smiled weakly.

"I want information from the school, a progress report of every class every month, an email from you every day without exceptions, and if you get in trouble, or fail something, even a quarter, I swear I will go get you and bring you back here" Prue said without believing what she was saying. She loved Phoebe and phoebe was right with that, she couldn't take care of Phoebe and she would be happier taking her own decisions, and if she wasn't, she could always come back. Andy squeezed her hand kissed her hair while Phoebe looked at her in a funny way. "So I can go?"

"Yes, but Phoebe, please, stay out of trouble and…I want to hear from you every day, I am not kidding" Phoebe hugged her big sister and said "Thank you thank you!" …

"And information from the school and…"

"Thank you thank you!"

"…Phoebe listen to me, and good grades, and I'll send you money…and you better not get caught doing anything bad!"

Behind the door, Piper couldn't take it anymore. Great, so Prue was going to college and phoebe was going away…She hated their situation as much as Phoebe did but she wasn't running off like her. She was sticking there like always! Piper went to her room knowing that Prue was too worried and too worked out but she was having issues too and no one seemed to notice! Because she was Piper and Piper always was fine. Piper put her headphones on and allowed herself to get lost within the lines of a story she was writing. She wasn't much of a writer, she had never been but when her nightmares started, almost three years ago, she started writing…It started like a hobby but now was more like something she needed to do in order to survive, it was like air. The story was about a guy who was being physically abused by the ones he loved and he was getting more evil every second, he lived in a perfect world but he wasn't happy, he was angry. There was a woman, someone who was nice to him, like a mother, but she was always thinking about another, a guy, her family, the family he didn't have, because she was all he had. Although he knew he loved her deeply he ended up losing himself to anger and realized that the only way to let it out was doing bad things to people, years later, the woman would try to get him back but it was too late and she would get murdered by him. She hadn't written that part yet, it was something a little blurry but she knew where she was going, she didn't know what would happen with the boy or with the woman but she knew that none of them would end up fine until they make it up for each other. Piper knew it was a sad story but she thought it was cute, just the way he was, she thought he was a nice guy, just someone mad at life, someone who had never had nothing, and he was just trying to get his opportunity to make things right, he just didn't know how to do it. He would always look calm and ready but in fact, he was scared and he would always try to say something but world wouldn't come out. He was always scared.

Sometimes, Piper thought that the story was her own, that sometimes, the guy was controlling her…sometimes, the anger she felt herself got too far into her and it felt like she didn't control her feelings anymore. The truth was that Piper Halliwell was falling, and fast.

At the same time, the things weren't getting too good for Paige Halliwell either. She was with some friends from school, well not her school but the High School and Glen, they were all friends with Glen because he knew the 'leader' of them, Blake, who lived in the same neighborhood as Glen. They were all freshmen and dumb, one of the girls, Delta, a really pretty girl with no brain took a box of cigarettes out of her pink backpack and smiled,

"My damn mother thinks I am all good, that I make no mistakes and this is what she gets" She lightened one and put it in her mouth. "Anyone?"

"Hell yes!" Paige laughed while she took one and put it in her mouth too. She smoked. "Oh yeah, it feels fucking good"

Glen laughed and took another one while he opened a beer can. "Paige, want some?"

"Glen! I have to be home and sober by two hours!" Paige whined. "Second thoughts, Prue would be fucking her boyfriend and planning her perfect college life, she won't realize"

"Or you could stay at my house!" Glen purposed touching her neck. Paige stared at him and said, "Okay fine. I'll call her from your house but I don't think she buys it"

"What?" Glen asked

"That we are that innocent"

"What the fuck are you talking about? With your goodie performance?" Glen laughed. They all did. "Prue believes you are the sweetest girl"

"Because I am"

"No doubt"

Delta finished her cigarette in less that five minutes and took another one, not before she made out with her boyfriend, Rick. He was the only sophomore but they all knew that he would graduate, he was too stupid and too immature. The only thing he was good at was getting in trouble.

"Can you believe how stupid my sister is?" Delta commented, her green eyes where shinning brighter than ever. "She had a baby like three months ago and gave it away, god know who the fucking father is, he is probably some drunken she met at a party. The baby was pretty cute though, it was a boy, his name was Edam, no Ian, no Elias, I don't even remember, oh wait…Ethan."

Paige smiled, "Your sister is dumb. I would never give my child up"

"She said she got raped…but she didn't see the guy's face. Yeah right, she is a whore" Delta said stealing Glen's beer and swallowed it all. "Fuck that"

They all laughed again, they were all proud of Delta, because, when you are 14 years old and don't know anything about nothing, the coolest people is the people who give something to talk about. People who do the crazy stuff nobody wants to do, or everybody wants to do but don't have the guts to do it, or have the brain not to do it. Delta seemed to get dizzy because she fell on her face and everyone laughed again, too drunk to do anything else. However, Delta didn't get up or laughed.

"C'mon Dels, it is not funny." Paige said, she was the only one that wasn't drunk. "Delta?" Paige shook her but she wouldn't wake up. "Glen! We need an ambulance!"

"You think?" Glen hipped. "I bet we do!"

"Glen!" Paige whined. "Fuck you!"

No one would have the guts to talk to Prue in that stage, she would jump on everyone. Even Andy. They were at the hospital and the tension was just too much for Prue to handle. Twenty minutes ago, they got a phone call from the local hospital, they got Paige and Paige's friends all drunk and even thought the person on the phone told her that Paige was okay, that she hadn't been drinking Prue wondered what kind of sister she was? Maybe Phoebe was right, maybe she couldn't handle her sisters. She wasn't just sick worried but mad. She wanted to hit the walls, just knock them down so she could feel a little better. She wondered if Ethan had to do anything with all that stuff because, why had they all gone downhill? What was going on? She thought that they were fine but Phoebe wanted to leave the house so badly that she had applied for a scholarship in Europe and Paige was now, hanging out with the worst of the crowds, the worst of the people.

"There she is" The nurse indicated Prue who walked in the room as a storm. "What the hell where you doing with that crowd?" She asked, not yelling but loud enough to let Paige know that she was mad.

"Paige what happened?" Andy asked trying to be more compressive. "What…what were you doing there? How long have you been hanging out with those people?"

"DATES! I WANT DATES AND NAMES!" Prue thought keeping all her anger inside and not letting all out. Andy could see how Prue's brain was turning into a hurricane that was about to hit something…He was glad that neither Phoebe, nor Piper were there. "I AM GOING TO BREAK SOMEONE'S LEGS!" Prue thought.

Andy sat by Paige who was sobbing and hugged her. "I'm sorry," She said. "I didn't know what I was doing…"

"What are you sorry for? Drinking or getting caught?" Prue snapped.

"I wasn't drinking" Paige defended herself. It was the perfect lie, she hadn't been drinking but she had been with people while they drank, she didn't do anything but she could have done it. Prue knew it and so did Paige. It was a defy that Prue couldn't face. Prue was blocked out with the situation, with herself and anyone else, she just didn't know what to do. All of the sudden she had more responsibility than ever, and more determination to live her life as well. The problem was that she was too confused to figure out what her life was. She had been trying to hold on to the life she already had, the one in which she was a self-confident woman, the truth was that the self-confident one had gotten killed a while ago and the new one, the eighteen year old Prue didn't know what to do. Paige stared at her big sister and admired her, because she admired her so deeply, Prue was perfect, she wasn't. Why wasn't she as perfect as Prue?

The two sisters locked eyes with each other and Prue knew she couldn't do the same she did to phoebe "before" so she smiled and sat by Paige. She breathed and while stroking her sister's hair, she said, "Honey, I am your sister, I am just, worried about you"

Paige nodded and hugged her big sister. "I don't want you to hang out with those people again" Prue said.

"Why?" Paige whined.

"Because, I said so, I don't want you to go get drunk in eight grade"

"are you mad?"

"Yes, and you are grounded" Prue said without raising her voice. She didn't want to yell at her but she needed to do something, otherwise Paige would do it again. "And now you are fine, we are going to see your friend, and you are going to come every day to see her, also, you are going to go tell Glen to come explain me why he was drinking and I'll consider to let you hang out with him, at home" Paige nodded knowing she couldn't disagree.

Paige thought, for some reason, of telling Prue about Delta's sister baby but she didn't. She was too scared for what had just happened so she didn't.

Things didn't get much better for the Halliwells, although Prue never stopped trying. Prue and Andy graduated and went to College, both of them, they had bad times and huge fights but that is another story. In the end, they would always make up and be fine with each other. Phoebe came back from Italy, only to go to College at New York. Neither of them knew what happened in Italy those three years she was gone but, certainly, Phoebe was never the same. Prue was sure something was going on but she never knew for sure. Piper dropped out her college studies and, as the 'fighter' she had become, put up all her guts and started a new restaurant. She became a successful business woman, even though she wanted to be chef. Phoebe became a journalist and decided to work for the PEOPLE magazine in New York. Prue was successful as well. Paige decided to leave her 'rebellious' attitude back and started working as a teacher in an elementary school. Piper moved to LA and Paige moved to her own apartment. They sold the manor. The Charmed ones grew apart with their own lives and didn't find out about their destiny. Yet. Andy became a great criminal scientologist and helped Prue along her double life. Prue would dedicate most of her free time to the demon searching and vanquishing…becoming feared in both, the underworld and the Ziudadelle. Cole became a lawyer and lost contact with her friends and Leo, well, Leo clipped his wings. Why, you will find out. They never knew anything about Ethan or Patty.

However, that morning of 1998, would change their lives forever in so many ways.

Boring chapter I know lol. It was just because I wanted to introduce the next one and some events that will happen, that is why it is called foreshadowing what is to come. Sorry if you didn't like it . The next one would be, again, the mystery-freaky stuff. This one was kind of what happened after what Ethan did and why all the feelings hadn't been explained, well, they will be later on.

Seriously, I planned it out, with this chapter I just mean to, like, explain why the sisters kind of forgot about each other. Not my best writing…Sorry! Next one will be WAY better I promise.
