"Stay in the car." I tell Glen as I pull up to Christina's house.
"Slow down for a second. Where are we? Don't you want to talk about what happened?" Glen said.
"Look, I just have to do something for work. I'll be out in like five minutes." I say slamming the door behind me. I rush up to the house, and nock on the door.
"Ms. Mathews, what do I owe this little visit too?" Mrs. Kline says opening the door.
"Just here for another check in." I say.
"Well, it's just this is the third visit in our first five days." she smiles politely.
"It's just part of the system," I lie wondering if I'm abusing my job. She lets me in and leads me upstairs.
"Is she awake?" I ask.
"No, she looked like she was getting sick for a while, and she wasn't sleeping, but recently she's started feeling a lot better." She smiles looking at her new daughter as she creaks open the door.
"Making up for lost sleep?" I ask.
"Yeah," She says. I look over. The circles under her eyes are disapearing and she's sleaping peacefully.
"Well, I'll be back in a week for our next little visit." I say heading down the stairs having acomplished what needed to be done. I've seen her and she looks happy and healthy. I let myself out and get back into the car.
"Paige, it's been like twenty minutes." Glen says annoyed.
"You owed me. I gave you my innocence." I say pointing right back at him.
"And I want to thank you for that." He says growing somber.
"Glen," I say trying to brush him off, "It was nothing at all,"
"No, it wasn't. You could have killed yourself." he says taking my hand. I pull it away and start the car.
"I will never understand you." he says shaking his head.
"You know me better than I know myself." I laugh,
"Yeah, too true." he nodds, "Let's go back to your place."
"I have to stop at my office first." I say.
"Paige, you should be sleeping." He says sounding somewhere between concerned and annoyed.
"Just a quick stop." I say taking the exit that leads to my office.I pull into my new parking spot thatI have reserved now that I'm an official social worker.
Glen follows me down to my cubicle whereI start my computer up.
"What are we doing here?" He asks
"I want to look up my niece." I say practically hitting myself in the head for not asking Prue about it when I was with her.
"Why doesn't she live with you?" He asks.
"I had another sister who died beforeI met her, and she had a kid who no one knew about."I say giving him the cliff notes.
"Your family is trippy." he says spinning around on my desk chair.
"What are you? Six." I say stopping the chair and sitting on his lap while I type 'Emily Rose Trudeau' into the data base.
"No results found." Glen says looking at the computer screen over my shoulder.
"Alright, we can go now." I say defeated. I let him drive because the sleep deprivation is finally getting to me. When we get home I'm half asleep. I let him carry me into the house and lie me down on the couch.
This is what I abolutely love about Glen. He's so sweet and caring. he would make an amazing father one day. My sisters come over andI pretend to be asleep because I'm too tired to move, and I know they probobly want to talk.
"She'll be fine by tomorow." Leo says looking over me. I hear Piper nag him a bit about healing me but I zone out quickly.I tune back in when I hear my name being repeated.
"She doesn't think we love her." I hear Piper say
"She had a point," Phoebe mutters. I perk up.
"Pheebs!" Piper says quiet though as though trying not to wake me up. Little do they know I'm wide awake now only pretending.
"Look, Cole wouldn't have had to steel all those kids innocence if everyone just left him alone and trusted him to hide his demonic half." Phoebe says
"He obviously couldn't." Piper sticks up for me.
"Paige practically pushed him over the edge." Phoebe says. I feel tears stinging the inside of my eyes.
"So you vanquished him?" Piper asks.
I hear nothing but soon a hear a sob from Phoebe. I take that as a yes.
"I'm sorry sweety," Piper comforts her.
"I'm going to go out for a bit." Phoebe says and I hear her footsteps leave the room. I feel some one put a blanket over me, and I know it must be Piper. Glen probobly went back to his hotel.
As I'm lying on the couch somewhere between awake and asleep I wonder how Piper and Phoebe really feel about me. I meen really I've just practically ruined Phoebe's life. She's right I always pushed Cole, but I'm her sister, and he was killing innocents. I obviously can see her point of view on this, and it's killing me. I just wish she could see mine.
And Piper. She's so kind to me, but is it only because they need me for the power of three. Does she wish she had Prue instead of me.I bet she does. I bet they all do.
Hell, I do. Before they found meI was happy living alone. I had good friends, a job I loved, and some privacy that I'll probobly never see again. And they were fine they still had the power of three and nothing to do with me.
