Chapter One
February 17, 2018
I was walking through the door carrying a handful of groceries. As I passed the living room I caught a quick glance of long brunette hair rushing quickly out of the room. I smiled to myself.
After resting down the bags on the table, I continued into the kitchen. Piper was busying herself trying to put the finishing touches on the birthday cake. She must have felt my gaze cause she lifted her head and smile. I returned the smile as I crossed over to her, wrapping my arms around her waist.
"Did you get all the party supplies?" she asked as she continued her baking. I simply nodded my head, taking in her familiar scent.
"Where's the boys?"
"Wyatt took Chris out for the day so that we could have sometime to get ready for the party." I gave her a quick peck on the cheek as I slowly unwrapped my arms.
"Ok well I'll get started on the decorations."
A few hours later the manor was filled with children of all ages; mostly Chris' cousins and some close friends from magic school. It was a joyous day in the manor; it was Chris' 14th Birthday.
"Ok who wants cookies." I watched from my post at the doorway how all the children ran at the sight of her delicious cookie. I laughed. Children who wanted to be treated like adults still behaving like children. Then that's when it all went down.
Suddenly all of the children in the room stopped frozen in their tracks and in a blink of an eye, a cloak figure shimmered in and threw an athame at her. It all happened so fast, the next I knew, I was kneeling next to her trying desperately to heal her.
"Damnit why isn't it working? WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?" I screamed at the ceiling as if expecting a reply. I heard a little voice come from below me.
"It's not meant to." Piper said in a croaked voice as she felt her energy slipping from her. Tears welded up in my eyes as I felt Chris kneel next to me. He was crying too. "I love you both, take care…"
Leo sat up in his bed in deep sweat. It had all been a dream. He closed his eyes and prayed that's all it was as he slowly turned to his side. He let out a breath as he saw Piper staring at him from her side of the bed.
"Honey what's wrong?" She asked as she lifted her hand to his face.
"I had a dream that you were killed." Leo said.
"No I wasn't killed, you let me die." Just as fast as the figure appeared it vanished in the dark. Leo quickly leaned over to his side and turned on the light. He sighed. It had been almost a month since the sad day and he hadn't been the same; every night his dreams were haunted about that day or her beautiful face; other times it was just like that, a constant reminder of his incapability to heal his soul mate. Desperate to get some rest he willed himself to go back to sleep.

I sat on the top of the Golden Gate Bridge watching all the cars drive pass each other down below. Wondering what it would be like if fell down, I wouldn't have to feel pain anymore, I wouldn't have to deal with living without her. The familiar sound of orbs knocked that thought out of my head as Paige materialized behind me.
"Leo, honey its time for the funeral." She said making me shut my eyes tight. She slowly walked over to me and sat down. I kept my eyes right where they were, daring not to show her some of the pain I felt inside. "You know Phoebe and I are still here for you, so is everyone else."
"She was my reason for living," I whispered, "how can I go on living without her?" I felt the tears burning in my eyes. I could feel her eyes looking at me with sympathy.
"You could live for your son." I lift my head to look at her but instead I saw something behind her. She was smiling at me and I couldn't believe my eyes. Just like that she was gone from my life again. "You could live for Chris.
Leo building up enough strength, got out of bed the next morning to make some breakfast for Chris. This was his first day back to school since the incident.
"Hey little guy made you some breakfast." Leo said as he rested the plate infront of the teenager. Leo heard him murmur a little thank you before sitting in the seat on the opposite side of him. It was just the two of them now.
This is a different first chapter than the one I uploaded before because I was rushing the plot a bit.
