all: thanks for all the nice reviews. I hope you all enjoy my next chpater.

„It all started when I turned nineteen and became selfish for the first time in my life. There was so much I hadn't done until then that I thought I couldn't wait any longer. For me home was like a prison. I had so many things to take care of and all of my so called friends were out in the world having the best time of their lifes. I needed that too and there was this great opportunity to go on a boat trip to Europe with Rolf and his friends. I really, really wanted to go but Grams wouldn't let me of course. She told me that I had to many obligations to fulfill to leave home and you two. I know now that she was right but at that moment I just couldn't take it anymore. And so I left that morning ten years ago without really saying goodbye and knewing that there was no coming back."

Prue paused at that moment looking around how her sisters would react. Piper looked really surprised. Grams had never told her the reasons behind Prue's escape and Phoebe was really relieved knowing that her sisters run away was not her fault.

Prue decided to continue knowing that her siblings needed to hear the truth from her.

"But running away wasn't as easy as I expected. I knew that my faith was now in Rolf hands cause he was really rich at that time and had no trouble helping me at the beginning. We made a wonderful trip to Europe and visited all the wonderful cities like Rome, Paris or Berlin. Yeah that were our best times. He had nice friends on his boat which I started to like and I thought that life could go on like this. But it didn't. When we were back in the Untited States and I told him that I had no home that I could go too he turned really nasty. He said that I blinded him and that he had thought about a future for us that was now officially dead. Later I realised that he only wanted to bring me down and did. I became his personal cleaning lady that he could do to whatever he wanted. I just had to stay I didn't know where else to go and I wasn't 21 at that time. My other fear was that the police could find me to throw me in prison. No idea why this thought always kept me from running away. After a while Rolf started to beat me up every day and afterwards he did things to me that I won't describe any further but believe me they weren't nice. My life was a living hell at that time. I thought every day about you guys but I knew that I couldn't go back. Well this all became worse when Rolf lost his job and couldn't afford all his luxury things anymore. He was always at home then and thread me like dirt. This went on for a long time after I finally was able to escape. The rest is a short story. I had no money and no home so I lived on the street for a few years. My only thought was to see you guys again. So I earned a little bit of money with things that I am not really proud of right now but it helped and after a while I had enough to come to San Francisco. End of the story".

"Mhmm", Phoebe didn't really know what to sey. She feeled that this was not the real end of the story but she didn't want to push her oldest sister any further.

Piper on the other hand looked shocked "Oh my god I didn't know that".

Prue had a small smile on her lips. "Hey it's ok. I am glad that I told you guys this and I really hope we can become sisters again." Phoebe nodded. "We will, I am sure of that".
