She appeared in white lights thanks to the help of a spell she had cast, though nobody had seen her entrance. She wasn't about to let her niece make the same mistakes that her mother had made. She knew that it wasn't easy on Penny or Rowan but she wasn't about to let anything bad happen to her niece either. She felt bad for them all, Penny, and Rowan and even her own daughter Mischa, and she would've given everything to be able to fix this for them all so that they'd all be happy, but she wasn't sure that she could. She wasn't a whitelighter, and hadn't the slightest clue how she could really help but she was going to try anyway. She walked over to where Penny and Rowan were. "Hey, not so fast. Where do you think you're going Penny?" She asked her niece. She already knew what was going on, just by looking on their faces, the pain on them.

Penny looked at her aunt knowing her feelings were written all over her face. She could tell her aunt knew what was going on and as much as she hated hurting anyone she couldn't stay. "I have to go aunt Piper it hurts too much to stay here and I just can't take the pain anymore I have to get as far away from everything as I possibly can. The more I stay her the more miserable I am." she said as the pain and heartache was there on her face as plain as day.

"Look believe me, I get that you're upset, and I know how bad you're hurting, believe me. I've put people in circumstances like this before and I know how you're feeling, believe me, but you can't just run away! You have to find a way to deal with it because we need you here. Yes, I know your parents are both busy alot of the time, but still, you need to be here no matter what. Besides your parents would kill me if anything happened to you, especially if I let you leave like this. I know our family life is a bit crazy, and believe me, I know how it looks to other people, but still, it's who you are, and you can't run from that." She said softly, she would do whatever it took to keep her family together even if it meant doing something that she wouldn't ordinarily do.

The sparkle had completely left Penny's eyes and were replaced with the hurt and pain she was feeling. She just didn't know how she could stay there and go an with her life as if nothing had ever happened. "I can't stay here and go on like this my life is just so messed up right now and I just can't handle it. I don't know how I will ever be able to go on with my life, its like I'm constantly faced with this torture and I don't know if I can go on without completely loosing it."

She could tell that Penny was in pain, after all she had seen this kind of thing before, years before she and Leo got together, it was the same look that Leo had when she had been dating Dan, only it was alot more difficult. "Yes you can, nobody ever said that things would be normal, or well simple, but...believe me, if you leave, if you just disappear, do you really think that things would work out? Do you really think your parents would give up and not come after you? I know I wouldn't. I'm not going to let you do this, I love you, Penny, I may only be your aunt, but still, I would never want anything bad to happen to you. I know you feel like all this is torture, the fact that your cousin and your ex-boyfriend have feelings for eachother, it's like a slap in the face, and believe me I understand that. You just have to deal with it every day as best you can. Even if you feel like crawling in a hole and hiding you're not going anywhere. I won't let you." She said to her niece.

Thats exactly the way Penny felt. She just wished the ground could open up and swallow her whole. It felt like somebody had ripped her heart out and stomped all over it, She knew they wouldn't let her leave like that and she just didn't know how she could go on with her life anymore. She felt like she just wanted to lock herself in her bedroom or somewhere and never come out again.

Rowan agreed with Piper. She was right. "Piper's right," Rowan said. "You have family members that care about you alot." Rowan said. "I still care about you no matter what." He said. He then thought for a moment. "At least your family is stil together.... unlike mine." Rowan said.

"Yea but I don't think I could stand it here anymore I just wish this ground could open up and swallow me then maybe it would end all this torture I have to live with. I know that it could be worse but I just can't deal with all this pain and torture anymore."

She sighed, and looked at the two of them. She did the best she could, after all she juggled more than one things at a time and usually handled it very well. "Believe me, I know exactly how you feel...trust me, I've been in that position more than I would have liked....but there was nothing I could do about it then, all you have to do is try and relax, to move forward as best you can. Doing...what it is you can. You just have to take it one day at a time, it never gets easier, but with time, things will improve, you'll see." She said softly.

Tears rolled down Pennys cheek as she did her best not to cry. "I just wish the hurt would go away now." She looked at Rowan "I love you so much and I understand you heart is with Mischa now so you go back to Mischa I'll be fine." she said as she sat on the bench as tears streamed down her cheeks.

The problem with Penny's theory was that Mischa had run away again, partly because she knew that Penny was still in love with Rowan and she couldn't hurt Penny, Mischa never had many friends and she was pretty close to Penny, so she was going to let them be together, even if it hurt her. The other reason was that she and Piper weren't getting along and she just was getting too upset over this. Of course, Piper was going to kill her because she was stubborn and wouldn't give up on Mischa that easily.

Penny hadn't gotten Mischa's note so she had no idea that Mischa had ran away too. She just felt so bad. She felt as if she were standing between them and her being an empath wasn't helping any because she could feel the love between Rowan and Mischa and it was killing her. She couldn't take all those feelings anymore. She just wanted to curl up in a corner somewhere well life continued on without her.

"It's okay....we can deal with this, believe me. I know plenty....there's got to be something we can do. I know you still love Rowan, Penny, and that's hard enough to handle. But you have to deal with it, because if you don't it'll only get worse, it'll drive you insane, and it won't matter if you're here, or anywhere else, because distance isn't going to stop you from feeling what you do for Rowan. It'll never go away until you accept that this is something that you can't change and you deal with it, no matter how hard, no matter how painful it is." She said to her niece. She had plenty of experiance in this department unfortunately.

Penny looked at her aunt through her tears "but how am I suppose to deal with this? Sometimes I wish I could just crawl in a hole somewhere and never be heard from again. It would be better than this pain." she said as she looked at her aunt and Rowan and then at the bus.

"Sweetie I know but running from all this, isn't going to help matters any! Trust me, I've been in your shoes, and I've been in Rowan's shoes before. I know exactly how it feels. It's like your heart's getting ripped up in a thousand pieces and that sometmes it feels as though it'll never be whole again." She said, she'd been through this herself, she knew well enough how people could get themselves in, of course, she'd been on both sides of this before, especially since she'd been in Rowan's shoes before, when she was dating Dan and knew that Leo still loved her. She also knew what it was like for Penny and Mischa, when she was younger she'd dated a guy who was in love with her best friend, so she knew plenty about what Penny, Mischa, and Rowan dealt with.
