Author's Note: My first songfic. I heard this song and instantly thought of this idea. From the point of view of Patty.
**TISSUE ALERT!!
White swirling orbs cleared the inside of a candlelit circle to reveal a loving, smiling, and caring face. She took a breath at the sight of three gorgeous women standing before her. Stepping out of the circle, Patty Halliwell wanted nothing more than to hold her daughters in her arms. As she became a corporeal being, this desire became a reality. Patty smiled at the situation, but the joy turned to sadness as she saw the grief swept faces of Prue, Piper, and Phoebe. Patty embraced them in a motherly hug.
This whole world can be cruel sometimes when you're looking for answers you can't seem to find
No one understands what your going through
Oh I know it can get lonely out there, when it feels like nobody cares
Well you look around thinking if they only knew, well I do
The grieving continued as the sisters mourned the loss of innocents and loved ones over the past 2 and a half years. Patty looked into the eyes of each daughter knowing who they missed and what they were willing to do to get them back. Prue's eyes yelled for Andy to be beside her, Piper mourned the recent loss of her love Leo, while Phoebe was unsure if losing the ones so close and dear to her was worth staying witches. Patty embraced her children in another hug. She searched for the words of comfort she was never able to give before this moment. She too, had felt the pain of magic. As Grams had always called magic a "gift" but in many cases it could be a curse.
I felt the chill of this world cut down to the bone
I walked many a mile down this road on my own
I've been through hell on my knees, come face to face with the devil
And I know that it's hard to believe, but it gets better
Patty thought about the hole magic left in her heart. She choked up the courage to prove that hurdles can be jumped. And with every word that Patty spoke, she convinced herself more and more that if she had more time to live her life, she would have made an even better mother. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe let the words of their mother sink into their minds and hearts.
Time is a healer, but we can't see how
When we're caught in the moment and the hurting is now
We don't wanna see that maybe some things weren't meant to figure out
Prue begged for the pain to be reversed, for the hurt to go away. For even after all this time it still hurt to close her eyes and see his face. Patty said time was a healer, but she had her doubts. Piper breathed. And with every breath her chest tightened, she was caught in the moment and the pain wasn't going away. Her love had been taken away by the Elders, one force she couldn't fight. Phoebe thought about how she never had the chance to get to know her mom, she wanted to change that.
I felt the chill of this world cut down to the bone
I walked many a mile down this road on my own
I've been through hell on my knees, come face to face with the devil
And I know that it's hard to believe, but it gets better
Patty closed her eyes and let her head rest on the nearest shoulder. No matter how strong she had felt, it was those moments in her life she had to push herself to keep pulling through.
Well just keep in mind, know you're not alone we're all trying to find this way through this life.
Patty gave her last farewell hug to the Halliwells. She closed her eyes in hopes that she made a difference. The Charmed Ones watched as their mom disappeared in a sea of orbs. She had been right. It does get better.
