Chapter 10
Back in the living room, Paige, Prue and Andy were all in the living room in a sort of awkward silence.
'Well, I think I might have a shower, then I might go see Glenn.' Paige spouted suddenly, breaking the ice.
Paige hugged Prue.
She turned to Andy to give him one to, but he gave her such and odd look.
Paige couldn't think what that was about and hurried out the room and up to her bedroom.
As she was getting her change of clothes to take into the bathroom with her she felt something stuck to her arm, she looked down.
'Oh my god!' She thought to herself alarmed.
Her blood had seeped through her sleeve and dried.
'Andy must have seen that, that's why he looked so weird.' She concluded.
She ran to the bathroom, turned the shower on and ripped of her clothes and jumped into the shower.
'Hey Prue?' Andy said still hugging Prue on the sofa.
'Yes?' Prue replied, eyes half shut from the stress of the day.
'How do you think Paige is coping?' Andy said inquisitively
'I dunno really, she extremely quiet nowadays, why?'
'Oh I don't know, it doesn't matter.' Andy resigned his original thought
'It was probably nothing' He continued in his head.
There was footsteps outside in the hallway
'Is that you Pipe?' Prue called.
'Yeah, its me, what time is it?' Piper replied stepping into the room.
'Its 7:30.'
'Woah, already? I'm gonna go upstairs and wind down.'
'Ok, you do that'
'Night Piper' Prue wished
'Night Pipe' Andy too wished
'Night guys' Piper said walking away and carried on up the stairs.
As she passed the bathroom she heard the water running, but she also heard something else.
It was someone sobbing
She knocked on the door.
No reply
But the door unlocked, and Paige came out, fully dressed.
'Are you alright sweetie?' Piper asked softly
'Oh yes, I'm fine' Paige replied chipperly, too chipperly.
Piper wasn't convinced of this fact.
'Well, you know where I am if you need me.' Piper offered.
'Okay, I'm actually off out to see Glenn, so I'll see you later.'
'I thought you were a bit dressed up for bed.' Piper laughed as Paige walked away.
Piper went into the bathroom to brush her teeth; unbeknown to her was what was behind the sink.
Paige walked the 15-minute journey she knew so well like a zombie.
She wasn't there.
Her head was filled with unhappy thoughts and endless 'what if?' questions.
'Paige!' someone called from the distance.
Paige carried on walking.
'Paige!!' The person called getting closer.
'Oh, hey.' Paige acknowledged meekly.
It was Glenn
'Where have you been? You were due at mine 10 minutes ago, I thought something had happen because you're never one to be late.'
'I'm late to class all the time.' Paige stated
'Well, late meeting me.' Glenn refined his previous statement.
Paige stood there shivering, not from cold but from exhaustion.
'Lets get you to mine, put your weight on me.' He suggested placing her arm around his neck and guiding her to his house.
For some reason Paige felt a sort of strength flow through her as Glenn held her.
The journey was soon over and she was in Glenn's bedroom.
'Here we are.' Glenn whispered as he gently let her down on his comfy reclining chair.
'Thank you, sorry I'm a bit spaced out.' Paige whispered apologetically.
'It's fine, just rest. I'll go get us a hot chocolate.'
'Two sugars, filled up to about an in…' Paige started
'Inch before the rim and the rest with milk,' Glenn finished off
'I know you to well not to know that.' He said smiling at Paige.
And with that he went downstairs, and Paige closed her eyes and fell asleep.
