"Calm down. It's okay." Prue said trying to stay calm herself. She knew something definitely wasn't right. 

"After everyone left...I ran into Glen. He wanted to talk." Paige said. 

"Well considering the messy hair and smeared lipstick. I'd say y'all did way more than that." Prue said laughing.

Paige didn't say anything. 

Prue noticed the change in her posture. 

"What? Did I say something?" Prue asked. 

"No. Let's just go." Paige said turning her head so Prue couldn't see the tears. 

"No. What's wrong? If you're feeling guilty about sleeping with Glen..." Prue asked grabbing her shoulder. She was quickly cut off. 

"No. Prue please." Paige said. 

"Fine." Prue said annoyed. She drove them back home in complete silence.

Back at the manor
Paige stormed in the door and went upstairs to her room slamming the door shut. 

Prue awkwardly behind her. 

"Oh no! What happened now?" Piper asked. 

"I have no clue. We started talking again and she just shut me out." Prue said. 

"I'll go check on her." Phoebe said walking towards the stairs.

Paige's room
The youngest Halliwell was in her bed with the blankets pulled over her head. 

"Honey? What's wrong?" Phoebe asked. 

"Nothing." Paige said turning away. 

"Paige, I can tell when something is wrong." Phoebe said. 

"Please leave." Paige said with her voice breaking. 

"Absolutely not. We tell each other everything." Phoebe said worried. 

"If I tell you.....promise it will stay between us?" Paige asked. 

"Of course." Phoebe said. 

"Glen asked me to talk with him. He said he wanted to apologize. I got in his truck, and I was waiting for him to start talking but he didn't. It was silence. After about 5 minutes I told him if he wasn't going to talk, I was getting out. He hit the lock on the door. All of a sudden, he started kissing me and started grabbing me. I pushed him away and unlocked it. I got out as fast as I could. He jumped out to follow me. Luckily Henry had waited around in case I needed a ride. I would've come straight home, but my anxiety was through the roof. Just thinking about what could have happened if he wasn't there." Paige said. 

"Paige I'm sorry. We need to keep you far away from Glen though. He's caused nothing but trouble." Phoebe said. 

"I know. I don't want to think about him right now." Paige said. 

"I think Brody's at Cole's. Wanna go with me?" Phoebe asked. 

"Yeah. Let me fix my makeup." Paige said as Phoebe walked out the door.

Paige wiped off all of her smeared mascara and reapplied it. 

She walked to her door. As she went to walk into the hallway she ran into Prue. 

"Where are you going?" Prue asked. 

"To Coles to see Kyle." Paige said. 

"Paige, It's almost 3 am." Prue said. 

"I know. I really need to talk to someone." Paige said. 

"Prue, Let her go." Piper said from behind them.
