Can this day get any worse? (Open)

[Melody Halliwell]

"Mom you need to snap out of it. This isn't who you are. Mom please you have to snap out of this." Melody wrapped her arms around her mother "I'm afraid if you don't snap out of it I may loose you too and I don;t think I can handle a loss like that right now so please I'm begging you to snap out of this."

[Paige Matthews]

Her arms were wrapped around her daughter, she couldn't even begin to say anything. She didn't know how to. It was like her world crashed. She had felt it coming after Henry died and then losing Linda too had been more than she had been able to handle. She loved her kids, and Kyle and her sisters, but how could she help anyone when she couldn't even help herself?

[Melody Halliwell]

"Mom don't do this to me, to us. I just couldn't handle it if I lost you. Linda was my best friend and now she's gone. I can't lose you too it would kill me if I lost you too." Melody cried as she buried her face in her mother's shoulder feeling as if her whole world had just crashed around her and she had no one to turn to.

[Paige Matthews]

"It's okay, I'm still here...I haven't gone anywhere." She said as she hugged her daughter close to her. She loved her family and didn't want them to be so upset. She didn't understand how she could help them if she couldn't even help herself? That seemed to be what was plaguing her. It was hard enough dealing with Linda's loss just as a mother, but knowing that Linda and Lilly were both innocent, and didn't deserve the fate that they had gotten, not only had it affected her as a mother, but as an aunt and a witch too.

[Melody Halliwell]

"What if something happens and I loose you too, what am I going to do? I don't think I can survive a loss like that. I know we haven't really gotten along since Linda's death but that will never change my feelings towards you. You are my mother and I would never make it without you in my life."

[Paige Matthews]

"You're not going to lose me, it'll take alot to really kill me. Besides I'm a whitelighter, I can't die near as easily as people might think. Besides your father would never let that happen and neither would my sisters, even if I am not getting along with them right now." She said, though it was the truth. She didn't want anything to happen to her family.

[Melody Halliwell]

Melody thought about what her mother said as they left. Her and her mother had been really close but it seemed like after Linda died they grew farther apart. She was going to do whatever it took to bring them back together. "Well have you decided where we are going yet?" Melody asked.

[Paige Matthews]

"I don't know yet. Do you have any ideas?" She asked her daughter as she had hoped that she wouldn't get herself in any more trouble. She didn't want to lose her kids, or anyone else for that matter the way that she had lost both Henry and Linda and Lilly. That had been hard enough, but considering how much death that she and her sisters had seen, it was enough to almost drive her insane.

[Melody Halliwell]

"Well we could go to the mall or beach or have a picnic in the park." Melody said as she thought about what they could do. "So what do you think we should do?" she asked.

[Paige Matthews]

"I think we should at least invite Kaelyn and Henry jr. too, that way nobody gets left out, besides I think Kyle will understand if I spend some time with you and your siblings, especially since I haven't really done that in a while. It's important that I do it now, especially because I can't see it getting any worse. I just want to be able to live life again without feeling like I should be dead." She said rather softly. She didn't care really what they should do, she just wanted her kids to be happy, healthy, but most importantly just to be there for eachother because they deserve to have as close a bond with one another as she and her sisters used to have. She was kind of hoping to improve her bond with her sisters.

[Melody Halliwell]

"You always do things with Kaelyn and Henry Jr. You even have a tradition where you take just the two of them out to dinner almost every Friday night and leave me home with dad. I know it was a tradition that you started when they were little but don't you see I hate being left out and lately I seem to get left out of everything."

[Paige Matthews]

"Yes, well that's the problem, and I get that. But, I can't just not invite them, they are my kids too, like it or not. I know that I've done things with them but you know I can't just stop the tradition, besides their dad started it, and it's one way that I can keep him alive for them. They enjoy going out like we used to when their dad was still alive. I can't just not do it. That's why I told Kyle that he could join us if he wants to. That way there'd be you, me, Kyle, Kaelyn, and Henry jr., and we can all do something together for a change instead of always being apart." She said rather simply, because it was the truth.

[Melody Halliwell]

"Well in that case how come you always take them and leave me home with dad. You say I have to stay with dad because its a tradition for you to only take them out. Just because it's a tradition doesn't make me feel any better about being left out." she said.

[Paige Matthews]

She sighed as she looked at Melody. The only reason why she had left Melody with Kyle to begin with was Kyle said it would be a good thing to spend time with just Kaelyn and Henry Jr. on that particular night. "Well, I know for one thing life hasn't really been very fair to any of us to be quite honest, and I know I should've invited you sooner, but your dad said it would probably do better at least, to try things one step at a time. I just haven't figured out what I'm doing. What is it that I'm supposed to do? Because, I'm running out of ideas by now...with everything. I'm just trying to rebuild my life as best I can, with everyone in it." She said rather softly to Melody.

[Melody Halliwell]

"Well mom for starters you have to start including us in you life especially if you want to win our trust back. It's hard to trust someone especially when they have rejected you time and time again for five years straight. As a matter of fact you would be lucky to win any of us back. I mean I love you mom but I just don't know if I can trust you not to break my heart worser than you already have. If I have learned anything from this its not to trust people so easily anymore because even your family can rip your heart out and stomp all over it."
