Sorry for the hashes. I couldn't figure out a transition between scenes
Chapter 12
It's 7 am, Monday morning, start of a new term at school.
Piper was in the kitchen already, as she usually is on a school day, she was sorting out the sister's lunches and an extra one for Andy.
She knew her way around the kitchen as though it were the back of her hand.
Once she had sorted the lunches out she started on breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes.
She kept her eye on the clock; she had to make sure everyone was downstairs by 7:45.
##
Prue and Andy were still in bed when Prue's alarm went off; it was that horrid song that Andy hated, he slapped the 'off ' button as soon as it rang.
'Prue, honey, its time to get up.' Andy whispered
'No, it's not.' Prue said softly back pulling him on top of her and kissing him softly progressing to passionately
Soon after it advanced to full on sex, like something out of a movie.
Prue and Andy flopped back onto the bed after their session breathing heavily but they were surely happy.
'We should get downstairs.' Prue stated huge grin on her face.
And with that they got washed and dress and went for breakfast.
'Hey Piper.' Andy said announcing their presence
'Your pancakes, mademoiselle et monsieur.' Pipe feigned a French accent whilst placing their breakfast in front of them.
They giggled at her failed attempt and ate like they were famished
Piper gave them a look
'You two mustn't have eaten enough yesterday'
'Mmm' Prue agreed looking at Andy and shared a mischievous look.
Phoebe felt something unusual underneath her; she removed it to inspect it.
It as a twig.
'What on earth?' Phoebe thought to herself, confused.
She turned to her side as though she was getting out of bed, except she wasn't in a bed.
'Woah, why am I outside? Where am I outside?'
She scrambled to her feet and straightened up.
'Dear God my head' she exclaimed squeezing her eyes shut and putting her hands on her head.
'What happened last night?'
Suddenly it all came back to her, the drinks, the drugs, the boys and the music all floated through her head and came together as one big buzz.
She looked around, she was at home in the back garden, she spotted something by the fence, she moved closer.
It was her left shoe; she looked down and saw the other on her right foot.
'Oh god school!' She thought to herself as she scurried into the kitchen and aimed for her bedroom.
'Where on this Earth have you been?' Piper demanded of the poor girl stood in front of her.
'Erm...' Phoebe tried to conjure words, but they wouldn't come out.
She just stood still like a rabbit caught in a car's headlights; a few seconds later she launched herself towards the kitchen door and was on her way to her bedroom.
'You've got 10 minutes till we leave for school' Piper called after her.
'Leave her Piper.' Andy warned.
'She didn't look like she was in a good way, leave her be for a while.' He explained.
'Okay, well I have made you guys's lunches they're labelled, I'm just gonna brush my teeth and then I'll be ready to go.' Piper told them.
Piper bumped into Grams on the way.
'Piper darling, don't go in there I was about to use the loo.'
'Oh, well I was just gonna brush my teeth.'
'Sorry dear.' Grams said apologetically going into the bathroom
'Well in that case I'll ring Paige to see if she's even awake'
The phone range a few seconds
'Hey Piper, what's up?'
'I was just checking if you were awake actually.'
'I am' Paige lied
'Oh well, I'll see you at school then'
'Yep, see you.' Paige said putting the phone down.
##
Paige hated lying to her sister, but it was necessary.
Paige jumped up from where she was sitting and went to find Glenn, who was finding her some clothes.
'Ok so there's this yellow dress thingy that looks way too small, and these black jeans, or there's this tee that says 'colour your world' and some smallish shorts.' Glenn said.
'Can I have the jeans and the top, and do you have a sweater I can borrow?' Paige asked
'It's summer you know' Glenn said reaching for an old worn sweater, the way he knows Paige likes them.
'Thank you' She said putting the jeans on
'Can you leave me to get dressed?'
'Oh sorry, sure.' Glenn said hurriedly getting out of the room.
After a few minutes Paige came out of the room.
'How do I look?' She asked striking a pose
'Gorgeous.' Glenn stated truthfully, unfortunately Paige didn't get the hint.
'Bah! Lets get going, we're going to be late otherwise.'
'Ok.' Glenn said grabbing his bag
'I'll just have to put your stuff with mine, if we get anything.'
'Sounds like a plan.' Paige said heading out of the front door.
They walked along the sidewalk to the bus stop, caught the bus and were at school soon after.
They walked through the school gates, and found their form room and chose a new favourite seat, next to each other of course.

Things at the Halliwell manor, on the other hand, weren't going so well
Piper couldn't get in the bathroom to brush her teeth because Grams was still in there.
It had been 10 minutes, way longer than she ever spent in there.
'Grams!' Piper yelled banging on the door
'I need to go to school.'
No answer
Piper heard footsteps on the stairs
'What all the noise about?'
It was Prue.
'Grams is in there, and she won't come out.'
'Grams!' Prue yelled, she too joining in on the door banging
'Tried that already.' Piper chirped
'Andy!' Prue yelled down the stairs
Andy soon came jogging up to them.
'Can you try to open the door please? Grams is in there, we think something's wrong.' Prue asked
'Sure.' Andy said furrowing his eyebrows and launching himself into superhero mode.
It didn't take long, as the house was old the door splintered with a bit of manly effort.
'Oh God Grams!' Prue and Piper said in unison rushing to the elderly woman slumped by the shower.
'Call an ambulance!' Prue yelled to Andy, who already had his phone out and was keying the number in.
Soon the paramedics arrived, greeted by Piper outside.
'She's just upstairs, in the bathroom with my sister.' Piper informed them leading them up the grand staircase.
'Your grandmother is in good hands now, it seems you've all done a good job.' The paramedic nearest Piper said.
There were two paramedics, one was female, and the other was male.
The man was rather burly with a cheerful face; the lady had a stern exterior, with stern eyes to match.
'Ok we have to get her to the hospital quick.' The male paramedic said.
So they carried Grams to the ambulance and Prue got in with them.
'Ring the school, and tell them what happened, and then take Phoebe and Piper to school.' Prue instructed shortly before being shut in the back of the ambulance.
Andy got his phone out once again and rang the admin office to let it be known why they were going to be late.
'What's going to happen if Grams doesn't make it?' Piper said tearfully
'I don't know.' Andy said pulling her into a hug.
##
Phoebe was watching from her bedroom window, in shock.
She sat on her bed, looked around to her picture of the last photo she had of the whole family.
Phoebe clutched it to her chest and fell onto her back.
'Phoebe!'
She heard some call for her.
She went downstairs to see what it was.
'I have to take you to school now.' Andy said kindly
Phoebe said nothing, just walked over to Andy's car and got in.
She was then followed by, Piper and Andy who got into the driver seat.
The ride was unimaginably unbearable.
The school gates were in their sight, they could see all their friends, and how happy they looked.
Andy parked his car in his usual parking space.
They all got out the car and went in their own direction.
Bit of a sad chapter I know :/
