That's Not Normal

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Phoebe yelled as she came through the back door knowing Piper would be in the kitchen. She tossed her purse and keys on the table angrily.

Piper sighed. "Phoebe-"

"Cole came to surprise me at work! He said he planned something special but you kicked him out?!"

Piper scoffed. "I did not. He left."

"After you said he wasn't part of this family!" Phoebe yelled back.

"I never said those words." Piper snapped. "Not those exact words."

"Why would you say anything like that?! Cole is part of this family, Piper! He is my husband! Even if you and Paige don't approve of that!"

"Paige wasn't even home! Phoebe, let's just talk about this."

"No. I don't want to talk! I just came to get my things! Cole got us our own place!" Phoebe yelled.

"You're moving out?"

"Yes!" Phoebe stormed out of the kitchen but Piper was right behind her. "Stop following me! I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

"Phoebe! We need to talk!"

They froze when they saw Paige with a bottle of alcohol in her hand. She had a strange look on her face, it was as if she were in a trance.

"Paige?" Phoebe and Piper questioned at the same time.

Piper noticed the bottle in her hand was the same one she had hidden in the armoire after Cole left.

Paige brought the bottle up to her lips and started chugging it.

"Paige?!" Piper and Phoebe gasped.

"She chugged champagne!"

"I can see that, Phoebe!"

"Where did she get it?!"

"Cole brought it to surprise you. I didn't want to throw it out because he paid so much so I hid it."

"Aww." Phoebe smiled. "Wait.. is that why you wanted him to leave?"

"Yes. Which is what I was trying to tell you if you just listened to me!"

"Sorry." Phoebe sighed. "What do we do now? I've never seen Paige drink before. She doesn't drink!"

"I don't know. I haven't either." Piper approached Paige with caution. "Paige? Honey? Can I have that bottle?" Piper asked calmly.

Paige pulled it away. "No! Go away!"

"Did you have a hard day at work?" Phoebe tried. "Piper made dinner. How about we sit down and eat and have a nice glass of apple cider?"

"No!" Paige put the bottle up to her lips again and started drinking more.

"Alright! Missy Paige, you do not drink! You said you don't want to be that person anymore so give me the bottle right now! We can talk about this." Piper tried to take charge.

"No one tells me what to do!" Paige ran from them with the bottle.

"Did she seriously run from me?!"

Phoebe nodded. "Uh huh. Yeah."

Piper sighed with frustration. "Paige! Get back here right now!"

Phoebe leaned closer to Piper. "You really think that's gonna work."

"No, but it's all I got! You try!"

"Paige, we're your sisters! We just want to talk to you!"

"Phoebe, I could've done that! Try something else! Yelling isn't working!" Piper yelled.
