On with the story…

Cole's Place-Bedroom

Dan was frantically performing CPR on Piper. Cole and James were pacing back and forth.

"What did you do to her, man?" asked James. He was very frightened.

"Nothing!" Cole yelled. "I haven't done anything to her yet."

"It's not working. I can't revive her." Dan said with exhaustion in his voice.

"Let me!" Cole pushed Dan away from Piper. He continued the CPR.

"Oh my God, you killed her, man!" James said hysterically.

"No, damn it! Breathe!" Cole suddenly pounded hardly on her chest. To their surprise, Piper released a loud gasp.

Dan checked on her, "She's breathing but barely. Cole, you could have fractured a rib!"

"It got her breathing again, didn't it?" Cole reasoned.

"But still, we have to get her to the hospital." Dan took of his jacket and covered Piper, then he started to lift her in his arms.

"You're right, come on." James was on his way to help Dan.

"No, no one's going to the hospital." Cole stopped them.

"Cole, she's dying! We have to take her. She's running out of time. Now come on." Dan argued.

"No, no! If they see her, they're gonna ask questions, they're going to blame me. I could get in jail, I'm not gonna let that happen. No!" Cole said frantically.

"Cole, can't you see? She needs medical attention. Besides, you said so yourself you didn't do anything. They're not gonna arrest you."

James reasoned.

"I said no! I can't take that risk." Cole thought that if Piper survives, she's going to point a finger at him.

"So what?! What do you suggest? That we let her die in here? That's going to raise more questions and that's much worse than getting her to the hospital." Dan was very worried about the girl in his arms. He didn't know how much time she still has, probably not much.

"No, I'm not gonna have a dead girl in my place, either." Cole thought of something fast. "Come on, I have an idea. Go get her things, every single one of them." He ordered James.

Hospital

The doctor let his nurses tend to Phoebe, and turned his attention to Leo. "Can I talk to you outside? Please."

Leo turned to Phoebe. "I'll be right back, ok." Phoebe just nodded. Then he followed the doctor out.

"We finished patching her up. Are you her boyfriend?"

"Actually I'm-" Leo started.

"Have her take these painkillers and antibiotics. The doses and schedule of the medicines are in there too." The doctor handed Leo the list.

"Ok. So I can take her home now?" Leo asked.

"Well, actually I want to ask you one more thing. What really happened? How did it happen?"

"Uhm… well…"

"The cut was pretty deep. Almost close to her wrist. Now, I want to know. Does she have any tendency? Is she depressed? Or heart-broken, maybe?"

"What are you implying?"

"I mean the cut seems intentional."

Leo did not want to confirm the doctor's suspicion. He was the reason why Phoebe tried to do what she did. He did not want to get her in more trouble than with what already happened. "It was an accident. Nothing more."

"Still, I want to talk to her family about it, to be safe."

"What are you, a shrink too?" Leo said rudely.

"I actually took up psychology too. Thank you for asking." The doctor smiled at him. "Plus, she's still a minor, we have to inform her family about this." The doctor left Leo stunned and annoyed.

Manor-Upstairs

Prue was in her room, reading a novel but she can't seem to understand what she was reading. She noticed that she had been in the same page for the past 30 minutes. So she gave up and finally put down the book. She checked on her clock, it showed 9 pm.

'Where are my sisters?' Prue was worried, she was not much of a worrywart, but that night was different. She could not seem to get that bad feeling out of her system. She decided to go downstairs.

Manor-Downstairs

Grams was talking to someone on the phone. "When are you gonna come back into their lives? You've missed so much." She paused and listened. "Yes, I get your reason, why you left. But don't you think that pales in comparison to why you should come back? These girls need you. Aside from me, you are all they have left."

"Oh and before I forget. Piper decided to undergo the surgery. So you might wanna be present for that. You know, support?"

"Grams!" Prue called while coming down the stairs.

"Oh I have to go, Prue's here. Don't you wanna talk to her?" Paused. "Ok. Fine. It's your decision. I'll call if there's anything new. Ok. Bye." Then she hung up.

"Who were you talking to?" Prue asked.

"Oh, just my long lost friend. We were just catching up." Grams lied. "Well, are you hungry? Do you want anything?"

"I just wanna ask if Piper or Phoebe called? Are they ok? I mean, being their big sister and all, I'm kinda worried."

"Oh, I'm sure they're ok. They'll come home soon. Don't worry." Grams put her arm around Prue and led her to the kitchen. "You're a great big sister to them. You know that? Always looking after them, I'm so proud of you."

"Well, it's my job. Especially now that we have no parents anymore." Prue said with a sad sigh. "It's not like we can let you do everything around here. Let's face it, Grams. You're old." Prue smiled sweetly. "Plus we have your health to worry about."

"Uh, Prue. Out of curiosity, what if your father comes back? Would you be ok with that?" Grams asked cautiously. She knew that amongst the sisters, Prue was the one who felt a great deal of anger towards Victor when he left.

"Well, honestly, I don't know. I mean he left us right when we needed him the most. I don't know if I'll ever forgive him for that. But whether I'm ok with it or not, it's not important. Because I still have two sisters to consider. What they feel matters most, especially Piper's."

"I understand." Grams held onto Prue's hand until the phone rang. Grams stood up to answer it.

"Hello? Yes, speaking." Grams answered. "Hospital? What, why?"

The moment Prue heard the word 'hospital' she went closer to Grams trying to listen.

"Ok. We'll be there as soon as we can. Thank you." Grams hung up and turned to her granddaughter which is obviously worried.

"Grams, what was that call all about? Who was it?" Prue asked worriedly.

"That was the San Francisco General Hospital. It was about Phoebe, they said she's ok. But the doctor just wanted to talk to us."

Prue was still worried.

"Don't worry, Leo's with her."

"What? Leo!?" Now, Prue was more worried, for both of her sisters. Not just about the fact that Phoebe is in the hospital, but she's with Leo, then who was with Piper? They were supposed to meet up. Where is Piper? Oh, God.

The bad feeling she felt earlier was back. This time it's more intense.
