"Not long enough," I mutter.
"Phoebe at work?" I ask looking around.
"Right here," She says. I turn around to see her coming into the kitchen also in her pajamas.
"How are you doing?" Piper asks sweetly.
"Really well actually," She says with a small smle. Piper looks shocked. She's probobly wondering how her younger sister can even try to smile after killing her husband then losing her unborn baby.
Piper looks happy, but confused. I'd love to fill her in on the news that Cole's back, but Phoebe might try to throw fire at me again. That is if he's turned her already.
"Paige, you okay?" Phoebe ask. Huh, what is she talking about? Of coarse I'm fine.
"Your staring at me." Phoebe says waving her hands.
"Sorry," I say turnng back around to stare at the table.
Phoebe and Piper talk, and I just sit. How can she just stand there and lie to us. Piper pitties her so much over losing Cole, and Phoebe's just letting her pitty her.
"I have to get to work," I say standing up abruptly, and heading uptairs.
"She's behaiving strangely," I hear Phoebe comment before I make it up the stairs.
When I come back down showered, dressed, and ready to go Phoebe's gone.
"Paige, can I talk to you." Piper says calling me over.
"Yeah," I say holding my keys. Maybe that'll send the message that I have to leave, and don't want to talk.
"Anything you want to talk about?" She asks. Um, not now.
"Maybe later," I say.
"Paige, you don't have a very good poker face." Piper says as I'm trying to leave.
"Look, I think Phoebe's the one keeping a secret not me." I spit out.
"I think you need to cut her a break. She's gone through a lot recently," Piper says sticking up for Phoebe.
"Then why's she coping so well." I throw out. It's true. She's a little too okay.
"Paige, everyone deels in their own way." Piper says. I feel like she's lecturing me.
"I'm going to be late." I say tapping my watch. I don't wait for her responce. I just head out.
I slip into my car and head down town to work wondering how I'm supposed to concentrate. When I get to my desk I see all the lovely paper work waiting for me. I'm tempted to procrastinate, but I see my boss, Mr. Cowan, watching me.
I dive right into it, and surprisingly enough get through it all by six. Then I debate going home or not. On one hand it's dinner, and I am hungry. On the other hand Phoebe will be there, and Piper. I wonder how she feels about me taking off.
I'm assuming pissed.
Slowly I get up and take my time heading to my car. I even stop for gas hoping that myabe they'll be out by the time I get home, but I know I'll have no such luck.
As I turn my key in the manor door I feel myself growing shaky and nervous. A person shouldn't feel like this going into their own house.
"I'm home," I call, no response.
"Hello!" I yell again. Still no answer. So they are out.
I wonder where they went...
