Piper blinked a few times before registering the fact that about a dozen wine glasses, filled with an expensive wine lay shattered before her. "I'm so sorry Megan..." she apologised to her waitress, that had been seeing about it. "I'm sorry...I should have been watching where I was going," she said.
Piper put a hand to her head. Everything was going wrong that day...she'd gotten into an argument with Paige earlier in the day, and it had been pretty upsetting as harsh words had been exchanged throughout it. She felt as if she didn't even know her sister anymore.
She listened vaguely as Megan accepted the apology as she cleaned up the mess. She didn't notice her asking if she was alright as she headed to one of the back rooms, that belonged solely to Piper...equivalent to an office.

Kaelyn walked in as Megan walked past her rather quickly almost knocking her over. "Sorry..." "Its... okay. No harm done." She glanced round, she saw the remains of the smashed wine glasses. She headed to her Aunt Piper's office. She knew everything that her Aunt Piper was going though... she had to be the strong super witch since, Kaelyn's mother was always at magic school and Aunt Phoebe was pregnant and worried about Cole. She knocked on Piper's 'office' door gently. "Aunt Piper?"

Piper looked around her office. It was neat, of-course as Piper hated when things were messy. Well except for the attic. She sat down behind her desk and sighed heavily, resting her hands supportively on the desk. She looked at the door as she heard a familiar voice and a knock on the door. "Come in," she replied.

She opened the door carefully. She knew that her aunt was stressed... very stressed. "You okay Aunt Piper?" She was worried about her aunt, she was trying to do everything and holding the family together. It was hard for one person... she wanted to try to help her aunt out. She closed the office door behind her.

Piper attempted to give Kaelyn a fragile smile. “I’m fine it’s just…” she broke off. Should she tell Kaelyn anything? Kaelyn was Paige’s daughter after all, and Piper didn’t want to bother any of their kids with it. Still, she reminded her self, Kaelyn is an adult now.
"You mom and I had...well I saw her this morning, and...didn't turn out too well," she told her. "You know...her being at Magic School all the time..."

She sat down, Kaelyn couldn't really say anything, She had barely spoken to her mother. Paige hadn't answered Kaelyn's calls and whether she went looking for her, she was told that Paige was too busy to speak to her. It was an awful thing to say but Piper and Phoebe had been more like mothers to her than what Paige was. "I know... mom's always at magic school." Kaelyn never gave up on anything or anyone but she was tired of waiting for her mom to start behaving like a mother again.

Piper grimaced slightly as Kaelyn said that...not what she said, Piper already knew that. More the way she said it. It was the truth though. She had only realised when Melody said that she considered Piper more of a mother than Paige, that Piper realised how Paige had been neglecting her responsibilities...Piper and Phoebe had been there more for them lately. "She's feeling sorry for herself." It wasn't a question...or even an opinion. It was simply just...the pure truth.

"I know she is and I tried to help her, but she would rather shut me out." Paige had barely spoken a word to Kaelyn since Linda's death and whether she did get to speak to her she used Linda's death as a weapon. Whether Paige looked at her it felt like that she was seeing Linda and not Kaelyn. Paige had even called her linda a few times which had hurt her more than she let on. It was like Paige had forgotten that she even had Kaelyn.
"I'm tired of waiting for her to act like a mother. You and Aunt Phoebe had been there for me more than what she has.... I try to help and go looking for her just to be told that she's too busy to talk to her own daughter." She felt some tears forming but she would let them fall. "I called for her and she never came to one of my calls..." Eventually she stopped calling for her mother and called for her uncle Leo... He came to every one of her calls because he knew that she needed him.

She needed to talk to Piper, but knew she was probably just wasting her breath. Piper had been right about alot of the things she said, and it had been hard to hear, but she needed to hear it. It was time to grow up and stop worrying so much about herself and try to go on living as best she could. Yes, she had been a rather bad mother lately, even she had admitted to it. She had been able to deal with that, and it had hurt alot. Melody had come to see her, and she had been able to get through some of the issues with her. She just hadn't been able to face anyone really until Piper came and they argued this morning. She sensed whether anyone was there in the bathrooms before deciding now was the time to take action. She orbed into the bathroom, and waited a couple minutes before leaving. She walked out of the bathroom and over to Piper's office. She knocked on the door, quietly in case someone was inside other than just Piper.

Piper saw the tears in Kaelyn's eyes and felt her heart go out to the poor girl. Everyone had been suffering from Paige's absence, but a lot of the time Piper had failed to notice Kaelyn and Melody were just as upset as herself and Phoebe had been. "Kaelyn..." she said, going around her desk and embracing her niece gently. "I'm sorry..."
She heard a knock on the door. "Come in," she said, for the second time in a few minutes.

She opened the door, and walked in, only to see her daughter and Piper talking. She hadn't wanted to leave her relationship with Piper like that, that's why she had come to see her sister. Though if it was a bad time she could come by later. "Hey, is um this a bad time Piper, because if it is, I could just come by later." She was sure if Piper was in a bad mood or Kaelyn was, that she wouldn't be welcomed in here at all. She hadn't wanted to hurt anyone.

Kaelyn glanced away when she heard her mother's voice. Kaelyn hadn't talked to her mother hardly if at all since Linda had died. She was in no mood to talk to her mother yet... Paige hadn't been there for her, Henry Jr or Melody and with Kaelyn been the oldest she had look after Henry and Melody. She had the rest of the family to help her but that wasn't the same at the time Kaelyn had needed her mother the most.

Piper looked up as Paige came in and stiffened slightly. She let go of Kaelyn and refused to look her youngest sister in the eye. "That is not for me to answer," she said simply. Personally, she thought it should be Kaelyn's decision...she hated seeing the rift between Kaelyn and Paige as much as she hated the one between Keira and Phoebe.

She looked at her daughter and then at Piper, the feeling there, it was so tense that it could probably not have been cut with a knife even. She didn't know what to do. She didn't want to be in the way if they were in the middle of something, that's why she had knocked first instead of orbing straight in. She loved her family and anyone who knew her, knew she was just going through something, but she was trying to figure out how to stop it...how to get her life back on track before she hurt anyone, at least hurt them more than she already had. "Like I said, Piper...I don't want to fight with you, and I don't want to interrupt anything." She said softly.

Kaelyn didn't often hold grudges... she believed that everyone deserved a second chance and probably another chance after that too, She was too nice for her own good and a lot of demon's used that to their advantage but it felt more like that her mother had abandoned her... Whenever Paige looked at her it didn't feel like she was looking at Kaelyn, she was looking at Linda. Been identical it had been hard to tell them apart.... even their own Parents had trouble knowing which one was Linda and which one was Kaelyn. After Linda's death it just seemed to get worse.... her mother spoke to them less and spent more time at magic school.... the one time she had spoken to her Paige had called her Linda, and that had hurt.
"Your not interrupting but I..... I actually have to go to work." She lied rather unconvincingly whenever Kaelyn lied you could see her wisdom teeth, a sure sign that she wasn't telling the truth.
