Bold is point of view. unbold is normal.

Angst themes in this chapter.


'Hey, Paigey baby, what's wrong?' Prue asked.

Paige said nothing but motioned to the clothes that Prue had set out for her while she was sleeping.

Prue put her arms around her baby sister, and held her tight. Phoebe did the same.

'We know today is gonna be really hard for you, it's gonna be hard for us too, but we're here for you if you need us.' Phoebe reassured Paige.

'Thanks guys' Paige said in a meek voice. 'Can you leave me to get dressed?'

'Sure' Prue and Phoebe replied in unison.

'But don't be too long, we've gotta leave in an hour and you still have to have your breakfast.' Prue reminded her.

With that.

The sisters parted ways, for half an hour or so.

Paige

I shouldn't be here.

Paige got up from where she was slumped, straightened herself out, and took off her bedclothes.

Catching a glimpse of her body in the length long mirror on the back off her bedroom door, which her sisters had shut on their way out, she hated herself.

She looked on her bookshelf for something.

Where did I put it? I put it right there, I searched high and low for it.

I eventually found it, right where I'd left it.

The only thing that understands me, the only thing that can help me.

Paige picked up the razor blade and slid it across her already cut and mangled forearm, some of her previous cuts had healed and scarred, horrible ugly scars, but that didn't stop her.

There was a knock at the door

'Paige are you dressed yet?' Piper called through the door

Paige jumped at the sound of her sister' voice

'Uh, not quite yet, I will do though, I'll be down in 5 minutes' Paige replied shakily replacing the razor to where she kept it.

'Ok, well Grams is about to go down to the kitchen to get your breakfast, is pancakes ok?' Piper informed.

'Yeah that would be great.' Paige whispered loud enough for Piper to hear.

Grams had just entered the kitchen when she got the fright of her life

'Andy? What the hell are you doing in my kitchen?' She yelled at the young man holding a cup of hot chocolate making his way out of the kitchen.

'I'm getting a drink for Paige' he replied calmly, he had had plenty of practice dealing with a furious Penny Halliwell.

'You can leave on the table, she'll be down in a minute, now I'm going to turn my back to you and by the time I turn back around I want you gone from my sight until the funeral.' Grams said with intention of fierceness but at the mention of the funeral her voice broke.

She began to cry, lightly at first but soon deteriorated to full blown sobs.

Andy place the hot chocolate, which by now was cold, and went to hug his girlfriend's grandmother.

She reciprocated the hug.

'Why did this happen? She was such a good person.' Grams whispered between sobs.

'I know.' Andy agreed.

At that moment all four sisters came into the kitchen and joined Andy and grams in the embrace.

'Ok, that's enough of the emotion parade, I've got pancakes to make.' Grams chuckled through the tears.

'Paige, your drink's on the table, you can get a new one if you like, I won't be offended.' Andy told her with a slight smile.

After 20 minutes of eating pancakes and reminiscing old memories of the Halliwell's childhood, there came a horn from in front of the house.

'That'll be dad.' Piper said getting up to open the door.

She had her arms stretched out ready to give her Dad a huge hug; it seemed to be the occurring theme of the day.

Thank you for reviewing so far, and slightly enjoying this.
