I will remember
you
Will you
remember me?
Don't let your
life pass you by
Weep not for the
memories
Remember the
good times that we had?
I let them slip
away from us when things got bad
How clearly I
first saw you smiling' in the sun
Wanna feel your
warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember
you
Will you
remember me?
Don't let your
life pass you by
Weep not for the
memories
I'm so tired but
I can't sleep
Standin' on the
edge of something much too deep
It's funny how
we feel so much but we cannot say a
word
We are screaming
inside, but we can't be heard
But I will
remember you
Will you
remember me?
Don't let your
life pass you by
Weep not for the
memories
I'm so afraid to
love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a
past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a
darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me
everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will
remember you
Will you
remember me?
Don't let your
life pass you by
Weep not for the
memories
And I will
remember you
Will you
remember me?
Don't let your
life pass you by
Weep not for the
memories
Weep not for the
memories
This
occurs before Leo and Piper have met in the show.
"So
today you get to meet the charmed ones?" Chad asked. Chad had been my
trainer when I first become a
whitelighter.
Although I wasn't training anymore we hung out often. We had become fast
friends the first time we met. Chad was an upper level whitelighter who
trained new ones. I trained for only about three months being a fast
study. Chad said that I learned the trade faster than any whitelighter he
had ever trained, faster than him. That's one of the reasons I had been
assigned the most powerful witches in the world. The elders have other
reasons two though unknown to me.
"Yes" I nodded
confirming his question.
"Your lucky man!
If you don't screw up you're going to get lots of credits for this. Plus I
have heard they are HOT!!" Chad joked.
"Ha you know the
rules no falling in love with witches." I answered.
"Rules stink you
know." Chad exclaimed sighing. Chad was different from a lot of the
whitelighters. Most
whitelighters
are like robots just doing everything the elders want us to do.
Falling every single rule to the period at the end. I knew I'd be
different like Chad. He had fallen in love with one of his charges, but
was forced away. I knew he was still upset about it. He really loved
her.
"Yeah they do."
I sat down on my bed next to Chad, "You miss her don't
you?"
"Of course. I
love her so much it's not fair!" Chad exclaimed frustrated. "Advice never
fall for a charge you only get hurt."
"Sometimes love
is really stubborn, no matter how much you resist it comes for you." I
commented remembering
my own love in
my mortal's days.
"You got that
right. So why are the elders sending you down so soon? I mean do they even
have their powers
yet?" Chad
questioned changing the subject. It hurt him to talk about her. So when he
changed the subject I knew to go along
"Well their
grandmother just died, so they just received their powers. They don't know
this though. They don't even live together yet. The elders want me to try
and get them back together." I answered.
"Fun fun." Chad
commented.
"I don't mind
it's easier than some other task they have made me
done."
"True."
"Ok well I gotta
go. How do I find them?" I asked.
"Easy just orb
and they'll find you. You'll know them when you find
them."
"Alright then
its off to New York." I announced.
"Good
luck.
"See yeah." With
that I orbed out in search of the youngest Charmed one. I appeared in a
bathroom. I sighed not knowing where I was. The elders had told me just to
orb and not think of a place to go. If I did this I would be brought to
one of the charmed ones. I headed out of the bathroom to find myself in a
club. Tons of people where dancing and having assorted
drinks.
"How am I
suppose to find her in here? I don't even know what she looks like?" I
asked myself. I looked around the club when suddenly someone bumped into
me. Cold liquid soaked my shirt.
"Oh my god I'm
so sorry." A girl exclaimed looking at my stained shirt. I smiled noticing
how beautiful she was.
"Its alright
don't worry about it." I answered knowing I had to get back to work. I
couldn't get wrapped up with a beautiful women. Deciding that I had orbed
to the wrong place I headed to the door. Leaving the young lady standing
there.
Outside I
started to walk down the street looking for a good place to orb. I was
just about to when I felt someone's hand on my arm.
"Hey." Someone
exclaimed. I turned around to find the same girl who had stained my shirt.
"I feel really bad I mean I just ruined a really nice shirt. Please let me
make it up to you." She pleaded.
"Its really
alright." I argued having a hard time saying the words. As if I wasn't
suppose to say them at all.
"Come back to my
place I can get that stain out for sure." The girl argued softly pulling
my arm. For some reason I let her lead me down the street. "My names
Phoebe Halliwell the cults." She introduced herself as we walked. Oh my
god this was the girl I was looking for what luck. Chad was right she did
find me. "You are?" She asked, as I had been silent.
"Oh sorry Leo."
I introduced myself.
"Nice to meet
you Leo. Although I think my first impression for you wasn't very good."
Phoebe laughed.
"Hey its alright
this shirt isn't anything special." I answered becoming more comfortable
with her. We stopped in front of an apartment building.
"Well here's my
home. I'll warn you it's not much." She said a little ashamed as we
walked up some stairs. After a few floors we reached hers. She lead me two
her room and I went in with her. She was right it wasn't much. Basically
just a bed no TV, no nothing. Cloths where all over the place but what
caught my eye was a picture. It was of three
girls *including
Phoebe* happily smiling with their arms around each other. I knew the
instant I saw the picture it was of the girls I was looking
for.
"Ummm just sit
down and I will get some cleaning stuff." Phoebe said as she walked into
her bathroom. Instead of sitting on the bed I picked the picture up. All
three of them were very beautiful but the one in the middle was
astounding. A lump caught in my throat seeing her beauty. Her hair brown
following to around her shoulders.
"Oh I see you
found my only thing from home." Phoebe sighed coming back into the
room.
"Yeah who are
they?" I question already knowing the answer.
"Those are my
sisters Piper and Prue." Phoebe informed me coming next to
me.
"Where are they
now?"
"San Francesco I
suppose maybe somewhere else who knows." Phoebe sighed staring down at the
picture in my hands. I could see the sadness traced in her
face.
"Why aren't you
with them?" I asked knowing very well what had happen to them. She gentled
took the picture from my hands and sighed again.
"Prue she she
doesn't want me there. She thinks I did something bad when I didn't."
Phoebe answered sadness
seeping into her
voice.
"Oh I'm sorry."
I said feeling terrible now.
"Its ok I I just
miss them especial Piper." Phoebe answered tracing Pipers face. "You must
think I'm crazy or something." Phoebe said throwing the picture on the
floor.
"No…. I don't."
I replied picking up the photo. "I think your really nice and I also think
you should go back. Problems don't just go magically away you have to work
on them."
"Maybe…" She
paused staring back at the photo. Her facial expression changed from
sadness to angry. "NO!
They don't want
me there."
"I bet they miss
you as much as you miss them." I said softly.
"You don't know
Prue." She answered softly feeling tears well up in her
eyes.
"Think about it.
I know in time things will get better." I replied. She started to cry and
I pulled her into my arms. She shook for a few minutes until finally
calming down.
"God I miss
them." She whispered looking into my eyes.
"I know. Think
about what I said" I kissed her forehead and orbed out.
Phoebe stood
shocked as Leo disappeared. She rubbed her eyes and looked at where he had
stood. After serial minutes she decided it must of from drinking and went
to bed.
I meanwhile
orbed back into my apartment. It was to late to go to the next Halliwell.
Chad was still there flipping through the TV.
"Geesh it seems
you live her more than me." I said sitting down next to
him.
"So did you find
her?" He asked curiosity driving him to shut of the TV.
"I did." I
confirmed.
"Sooooo is she
hot?" He asked getting right to the point.
"Oh Chad." I
sighed. "Is that all you ever think about?" Chad fell silent I knew I had
went a little to far. He was trying hard to get out of love with his
charge. His way was to look at all the other women. Stupid way if you ask
me he might fall in love with someone else and just get hurt again. But it
was his way I knew I couldn't interfere. "Yes they are very pretty all
three of them." I answered.
"Lucky you." He
answered.
"Well I need to
get some rest before my next little trip." I announced getting
up.
"Ok I can take a
hint." With that Chad orbed out. I got in to my night cloths and fell fast
asleep.
The next morning
I awoke early. To help the next witch wouldn't be as easy. I looked myself
over in the morning. With a nod of satisfaction I orbed out. I again orbed
into a bathroom. I sighed walking out of the room to find myself in a
museum. "Wonderful." I muttered to myself searching through the crowded
museum. A half hour later I spotted her. I
could tell it
was her from the picture Phoebe had. She seemed to be giving a tour of the
museum. I joined the back waiting for a chance to get near her. Finally
she ended the tour and I caught up to her before she could go to her
office.
"Excuse me." I
greeted.
"Yes can I help
you?" She asked turning towards me. I realized I had no idea what I was
going to say. I stood silent for a few minutes staring at her trying to
figure out what to say. "Well did you want something?" She asked becoming
impatient. I knew I had to say something quick or I would lose
her.
"Ummm I have a
message from your sister." I replied hurriedly. I knew the moment I said
it was a big mistake. It was to late now though.
"Oh is Piper
ok?" The eldest witch asked I could see some fear creeping
in.
"Ummm no its
from Phoebe." I replied hoping she would still listen. Her fear
immediately went away and a cold expression replaced it.
"I don't have a
sister named Phoebe." She answered coldly walking away. I stood stun. I
had lost that one now how was I gonna fix it.
"Time for a
little hocus pocus." I whisper to myself orbing out. I waited a half hour
tell finally orbing
into the oldest
Halliwells office. I was relieved to see her dozing off on her desk. I
took a blue dust out from my pocket. The magical dust glowed a brilliant
blue. I hadn't counted on using this stuff it was very powerful. That's
why I hadn't gone straight into her office. I sprinkled the dust over her.
It glowed even more tell it slowly disappeared into her.
"You will see
Phoebes small apartment. How she misses you so much and how her life is
miserable." I whispered into her ear. Prue sighed as the dust took
over.
~~**Prue's
dream**~~
Prue saw Phoebe in the morning with a torn paper in her hand. She was
reading the jobs section. Suddenly
she threw the
section down on to the table.
"I'm never going to find a job." Phoebe cried. Prue felt bad for her even
if she slept with Roger. Prue then noticed the apartment Phoebe was in. It
was soo small Prue thought. She gazed at the cloths everywhere. It was
basically a dump and very dirty. Phoebe got up and went over to the
picture on her bed. It was the one of all three of them. She started to
cry as she traced the outline of Piper and Prue's face. Prue started at
her baby sister crying in shock.
Suddenly Prue
woke up tears trickled down her cheeks. She cried for a good half hour. I
watched being invisible to the young witch.
"Oh Pheebs I
miss you. I wish you would come back. I wish I hadn't sent that man away.
God what if something happen to you? I would never forgive myself." Prue
laid her head down on her desk and started to cry harder. I knew my work
was done here so I orbed out.
I orbed on a
dark street. I could barely see my hand in front of my
face.
"What would she
be doing here?" I asked myself deciding to investigate a little. I walked
around for a few minutes finding nothing. I was about to orb when I heard
someone scream. I ran down the long dark street fast looking for any sign
of the girl who had screamed. I heard another scream this time it was
closer. A girl and a 'man' was in front of me. The 'man' was attacking the
girl.
"Stupid witch
give me your powers!" He yelled. I knew it wasn't a regular sick oh guy. I
quickly pulled the guy off her. My fist went straight into his face. He
fell backwards from the force. He quickly recovered and smiled. "You have
no idea what you just got yourself into." He sneered.
"You think I
don't know what you are?" I asked. He didn't answer, his eyes started
glowing red and a laser shot at me. I didn't have time to orb or move. It
went right through me and I fell to the ground in pain. After serial
minutes of intense pain he stopped the laser and come over to me. He
started kicking me and I felt some ribs crack. I soon blacked out from all
the pain.
The girl had
seen her rescuer being hurt. She quickly grabbed a long piece of wood that
had been next to her. She quietly made her way over to the beast and swung
the plank into his head. He fell down instantly becoming
unconscious.
"Oh god please
be ok." She whispered kneeling down next to me. She ripped a piece of her
jacket off and pushed down on a gash on my side. She then got her cell
phone out and dialed 911.
Hours later I
awoke in a white room. My whole body ached from the attack. I looked
around the room. I felt pressure on me so I looked down. Her head was laid
down peacefully on the bed. I stroked her hair back a little realizing
this was the girl I was suppose to help. Yet she was the one who saved me.
She suddenly started to stir. I quickly pulled my hand away afraid I had
crossed a line. After all she didn't even know my name. She lifted her
head up and smiled
seeing I was
awake. Her eyes where red and puffy as if she had been crying. Still she
was the most beautiful
person I had
ever seen. Her deep brown eyes looked as if they could pierce the soul.
Her long brown hair gracefully lined her face. I remember the picture and
it hardly had captured her magnificent beauty. "I'm so glad your ok." She
whispered. Her voice was a little raspy from the crying she had done. It
was still music to my ears though. I didn't understand why she had cried.
I mean she didn't know me at all.
"You didn't have
to stay." I answered.
"Yes I did. You
saved my life and I had to make sure you where ok." She replied smiling
even more. Her smile seemed to melt my heart. "Thanks for helping me by
the way."
"Hey I wasn't
just going to leave you there to get hurt. Anyone would have done what I
did."
"Not every
person would put their life in danger to help a stranger. Plus same goes
for me I couldn't just leave you dieing in the ally."
"Well thank
you." I said glad that we both where ok.
"My name is
Piper." She introduced herself.
"Leo." Suddenly
a man walked in. He was middle aged and had a white coat on. I guessed he
was the doctor. "Ahhh Mr……." He started realizing he didn't know my
name.
"Wyatt." I
replied.
"Ok Mr. Wyatt
well the good news is you will be fine in time. You have six cracked ribs
and lost a lot of blood. Your arm is also broken. You ether can stay here
tell you recover or have someone at home take care of you. You're going to
need lots of rest and no movement for a while. I'll let you think about it
a while then I'll come back." With that he excited.
"Great stuck in
the hospital." I muttered to myself.
How was I
suppose to do my job when I wasn't suppose to move.
"Wait don't you
have any family?" Piper asked.
"No…….. They
died." I answered thinking of what I should do.
"Oh I'm so
sorry………. My mom died when I was young and my grandmother just died." She
informed me. I could
see tears well
up in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry.
Its hard to lose someone you love." I replied wiping one of her tears
away.
"Yeah…….. well
you'll just have to stay with me." She commented a smiling spreading
across her face again.
Shock came over
me she was so nice.
"But…. Why why
would you want a stranger?" I asked.
"Because you
saved my life and its my fault your hurt. Plus you have no one to take
care of you and I have a room to spear." She replied.
"Piper you don't have…….."
"I want to." She interrupted. "Now come with me or stay here in this yucky
hospital your choice."
"Ok ok you win."
"Great I'll let the doctor know." She then walked out of the room in
search of the doctor. I sighed glad I didn't have to stay here. This must
have been meant to happen so I could reunite her with her sisters. But I
couldn't help to think that maybe this was meant to happen for another
reason.
I signed the release papers to get me out of this place. Piper got a wheel
chair to get me to the car.
"Ok I broke my arm my legs still work." I replied.
"The doctor said as little movement as possible. Even if you didn't break
your leg your still weak.
"I bet I could
make it."
"Are you going
to be like this the whole time?" She sighed.
"Probably still want me?"
"Yes. You're just going to have to learn to let people help you. I can
already tell your one of those depended type." She was right with that
statement. I didn't like when people helped me.
After that little argument I finally gave up finding her very stubborn.
She helped me into the passenger side. She got in the drivers side and
started to drive wherever her home was.
"So don't you have any family? Besides your mom and grandma." I
asked.
"Yeah I have two sisters. They don't live with me. One of them is
somewhere off in New York or who knows.
My older sister
I barely ever see, she works a lot." Piper replied a hint of
sadness.
"I'm sorry."
"Its alright. We where really close when we where little. Sometimes I just
wish I could go back in time."
"Yeah I had a brother and sister. I was close with my sister, but I never
got along with my brother." I replied talking about my mortal
life.
"Had?" She questioned.
"They died." I answered.
"Oh I'm so sorry."
"Its ok it was a long time ago." We fell silent not knowing what to say to
each other.
"Here we are." Piper announced breaking the silence. She lived in an
apartment building. Luckily her room
was on the first
floor.
Her apartment was pretty big, two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a
bathroom.
"Nice apartment." I commented looking around.
"Yeah its ok. You can have this room." She replied. I sat down on the bed
looking around. Her apartment was
much better than
mine. "If you need anything at all just let me know. You should
probably get some sleep now." For a few minutes we stared at each other.
Each getting locked in the others eyes. She suddenly pulled away and
started to close the door.
"Piper…"She stopped, "Thanks again."
"No problem." She then shut the door and I laid down on the
bed.
Months went by Piper helped me out a lot. I had found a lot out about her.
How she was the middle child, how
much she missed
everyone in her family, how her and her sister inherited the house they
had lived in. She had no idea what she was going to do with it though. I
also learned that she was in the middle of changing jobs. I told her as
much as I could about me. Leaving out the part that I died and came
back.
I was recovering pretty fast. Which made me kind of sad I knew I wouldn't
be able to stay here forever. I
still had a job
to do, which had been put off long enough. When I had gotten better enough
to go out we went out a lot. We never called it a date but anybody who
looked on would probably call it that.
One night Piper went out while I stayed home. I was just reading when I
saw a blue light. Chad formed in
front of
me.
"Chad what are you doing here?" I asked putting down the
book.
"Well I haven't seen you in a loooong time I was starting to get worried."
He replied looking around the room. "I guess I shouldn't have been
though." He said picking up a photo of Piper and I. "Dam she's hot." He
exclaimed.
"She is isn't she?" I sighed getting up and staring at the
picture.
"Uh oh." Chad sighed looking towards me.
"What?" I asked puzzled to what was wrong.
"I know that look." He exclaimed.
"What are you talking about?"
"You fell for her." He explained. "I can tell after all I've been
there."
"Your right….." I sighed looking down to the picture again. "Every time
she walks into a room my heart jobs
miles. I find
myself losing my breath. What am I going to do?" I asked
desperate.
"There's only two things you can do. Ether clip your wings or end it. Does
she love you?"
"I don't know. I don't know what to do." I replied falling back onto the
bed.
"I'm sorry man. Its hard isn't it." Chad commented sitting down next to
me.
"Yes it is."
"I'll leave you alone to think." With that he orbed out.
"That's it no advice!" I yelled to the spot he had sat.
"What?" Piper asked opening the door a crack.
"Oh ummmm nothing……… your home early." I stuttered surprised she was
there.
"Yeah it was boring." Piper replied referring to the party she had been
invited to. "It would have been better if you came." She commented. Piper
had invited me but as much as I wanted to go I stayed home. I had to think
about what on earth I was gonna do.
"Sorry. Hey how about we go out to dinner tomorrow." I
suggested.
"Sure that
sounds good." She answered a smile crossing her face.
We both sat on
my bed silent not knowing what to say. She stared at me and I stared at
her. The urge to kiss her was so strong. I tried to fight it but I knew it
was a losing battle. We moved closer locking lips. I fell back on the bed
and Piper fell on top of me. She unbuttoned my shirt and I helped take
hers off. We kissed move passionately and I sweeped her hair back. Then I
moved from her lips to her neck. The rest of the night was pure heaven for
both of us.
The next morning
I awoke with Piper in my arms. I smiled remembering the events of last
night. I've been to heaven and this beat it all the way. My smile turned
to a frown when I realized what was going to happen. If I left her she
would be crushed. No not only her I would be two. I stared down at her
gorgeous face. She looked like an angel so sweet and innocent. I wiggled
my way quietly out of her arms. Staring longingly for a few minutes at
her. I finally went into the living room. I sighed running my fingers
through my hair.
"Chad! Chad!
Chad!" I yelled trying to keep it down so she wouldn't awaken. When he
didn't orb in I fell back heavily on to the couch. After a while of
tossing and turning I fell back asleep. About an hour later Chad orbed
in.
"Leo wakey
wakey." He commented shaking me awake.
"Chad why didn't
you come when I called?" I questioned jumping off the
couch.
"Hey I have a
job to do. I couldn't just leave my witch to die in the hands of a
warlock." Chad explained a little annoyed.
"Sorry." I
sighed sitting back on the couch.
"Ok what's the
matter?" He asked seeing my distress.
"Nothing except
for the fact that I had the best night of my life last night." I
replied.
"Well if you had
the best night isn't that a go……." He stopped realizing what I meant. "Oh
no Leo you didn't?" He stated sitting next to me.
"I did." I
replied putting my head in my hands.
"Leo how could
you? This is going to be a lot harder now that you have had sex." Chad
exclaimed I could tell he was angry because I hadn't listened to him. I
also knew that he was only angry because he didn't want me to go through
the same thing he did.
"I don't know
how this happen. She just came into my room being so beautiful and all.
And and the urge it was so much and she wanted to two. I just couldn't
fight it." I tried to explain in desperation.
"You just
couldn't help it I had the same problem." Chad sighed putting a hand on my
back. "So what are
you going to
do?"
"I'm thinking
about clipping my wings. Chad I love her she's my soul mate I know it." I
informed him.
"I don't mean to
sound pessimistic, because the last thing I want is for you to be unhappy.
But think of this, Piper is going to be a witch. Not just any witch at
that a charmed one. Meaning she will be battling evil every day. Are you
going to be able to stand staying home, knowing you could have helped. Are
you going to be able to know she's facing danger while your sitting at
home? Plus there is the fact that you won't have any powers. Once a
warlock or demon figures out how much you mean to Piper who do you think
he's gonna go after? He'll go after you to get to her. I was going to clip
my wings two to be with my love. Then a friend told me all these things. I
realized that I would only put her in danger and I couldn't live with
that."
"God what am I
going to do." I muttered.
"Hey." Piper
greeted walking into the living room. She still had her nightgown on but
looked beautiful all the same.
"Piper this is
Chad we are old friends." I announced kind of glad for the
distraction.
"Hello nice to
finally meet a friend of Leo's." Piper said taking Chad's
hand.
"I've heard a
lot about you Piper, but your even more beautiful in person." Chad smiled.
Piper blushed at the comment.
"Chad would you
like some breakfast?" Piper asked.
"No thanks I was
just leaving. Nice meeting you Piper."
"Nice meeting
you two." Piper replied heading into the kitchen.
"I'm not going
to tell you what to do Leo. You're a big boy and can make your own
decisions, but think about it." Chad whispered and with that he orbed out.
I cursed thinking Piper could have seen him orb.
"So Leo what
would you like for breakfast?" Piper asked coming back in. She had a smile
as wide as the world spread across her lips. I wished I could feel that
happy but with all the things running through my
mind I couldn't.
"Leo…… Is something wrong?" She asked sitting down next to
me.
"No everything
is fine." I answered. What else could I say, that I might have to break up
with you and I can't tell you why.
"Are you sure
you seem a bit distracted." She pushed rubbing my shoulders. Her touch was
amazing I don't know how I'm going to live without it.
"Yeah positive."
I assured her smiling.
"So do you still
wanna go for dinner tonight?" She asked I was relieved she changed the
subject. I didn't think I could lie to her if she pushed
more.
"Yeah sure I
would love to." I replied.
"Ok I have to
get something to wear. Do you wanna come with me?"
"Actually I have
a few things to do so I can't."
"Alright so lets
go eat breakfast then go where we gotta go." Piper said taking my hand and
leading me into the kitchen. We had blueberry pancakes. They tasted
amazing then again anything Piper made tasted amazing. Most of breakfast
was spent in silence staring at each other. I knew Piper knew something
was up, but she was going to wait for when I was ready. After breakfast we
kissed goodbye and Piper went out in search of a dress.
I spent the
whole day trying to figure out what to tell Piper. I didn't want to break
her heart. Suddenly the phone rang scaring me to death. I picked it up to
find a women on the other side.
"Hey Piper I
think we should talk about what we are going to do with the
manor."
"Umm Piper isn't
home right now do you want to leave a message?" I asked. She paused
recognizing my voice
from
somewhere.
"Umm…… No just
tell her her sister called." Prue replied.
"Ok which sister
Prue or Phoebe?" I asked making sure I had the right
one.
"Wait that's
where I know you from. You're that guy who had a message about Pheebs for
me. Please I'm sorry I was so rude is Phoebe ok. Please tell me she isn't
hurt." Prue pleaded.
"Yeah Phoebe is
ok but she misses you guys. She wants to come home." Prue fell silent
after I said this.
"Figures she
wouldn't tell us herself." With that she hung up. I sighed knowing the
only way I would get Phoebe here was to go through Piper. Suddenly the
phone wrung again. I hesitated to pick it up but decided to because Piper
doesn't have an answer machine.
"Hello." I
greeted to whoever may be on the other side.
"Leo hey I have
two things in mind her but I don't know if you want casual or classy."
Piper explained.
"Not something
to elegant I don't have really dressy cloths. Plus you look good in
whatever you wear." Piper laughed at the comment.
"Yeah well not
matter what you say I'm not going in my nightgown." I laughed and
pretended to be sad.
"Ohhhh but you
look so sexy in it."
"Ok ok I gotta
go get ready and I'll be by in a half hour. I love you." With that Piper
hung up. I held the
phone to my ear
shocked even though she had left. Did she just just say she loved
me?
"Oh my god!" I
exclaimed to myself. I knew she loved me and I loved her but we had never
said it to each other. Thinking it and saying it where two totally
different things. "Oh no what am I going to do." I muttered to myself even
more confused than before.
An hour later
Piper walked in the door. I had finally pushed myself into getting
dressed. She walked in wearing a short light blue dress. She looked so
gorgeous in it.
"You…….. you you
look look astounding." I stuttered at her beauty
"Thank you. You
look very handsome yourself." She then took my arm and we went to the car.
She drove us to a
nice restaurant
that I had said looked good a few nights ago.
The dinner was
magnificent. We both had prime rib with white whine. I acted like nothing
was wrong when in my
heart everything
was going to be. After the wonderful dinner we went back to the
car.
"So do you wanna
go home or…..?" Piper asked.
"Or let me
drive." I replied taking the keys out of her hand.
"Ok as long as
you don't smash my car up." Piper laughed getting into the passengers
seat.
I drove for
about a half an hour. Piper kept asking where we were going but I wouldn't
tell. We finally reached our
distention. I
helped Piper out of the car and she gasped at the scene.
I had driven to
the ocean. It was beautiful the moons and stars reflections shining over
the waters.
"I come here a
lot to think and stuff it's a magical place." I said softly taking her in
my arms. We walked to the to the beach and sat in the
sand.
"Hmmm its so
beautiful Leo. I'm glad you shared it with me." She smiled and we kissed
passionately. We started to make out heavily. Before I knew it both our
tops where off. When I realized what was going to happen I quickly pulled
away. "What's wrong Leo?"
Piper asked
concern in her eyes. She got up and stood next to me.
"Piper I looove
you so much you know that right?" I started staring into her eyes. Piper's
face turned to shock. I had never said it to her and she had the same
reaction as I did.
"I knew you
cared about me but you never told me you loved me. Oh Leo." She wrapped
her arms around me I
pulled away
slightly.
"I love you so
much but I can't be with you." I replied fighting back
tears.
"What are you
talking about I love you you love me." Piper said
confused.
"Its not a
question of our love. It's its things beyond your imagination. Things you
can't comprehend yet." I tried to explain not giving away too much of her
future. But I knew there was no easy way to explain it to
her.
"I don't
understand." Piper whispered tears welled up in her
eyes.
"Piper its
complicated but this is the last time I'll see you." I
continued.
"For how long?"
She question fear seeping in her voice.
"Maybe
forever."
"What Leo you
cant do this to me I love you so much." Piper exclaimed letting her tears
fall.
"I know I love
you two, but you have to move on."
"Move on how can
you expect me to do that. How can you expect me to just let you walk out
of my life? You can't just jump in and save me let, me fall in love and
leave like that. There is no way on earth I could get along without you. I
can't just tell my mind to forget about, or my heart." Her tears fell
rapidly down her cheeks my own flowing also. "I I I just cant forget you.
Life was so incomplete when I didn't have you. Sure Jeremy was nice but
you you're my soul mate. You're the one person in this world that
completes me and I'm not just going to let you walk out of
my
life." Piper
felt herself losing it. I hated to feel this way I hated to make her feel
the same. She pulled me into her arms and held me tight. "I won't let you
go, I won't." She cried into my shirt. I gentle kissed her head and held
her in my arms. After a few minutes I let go but she
didn't
"Piper this was
meant to be." I whispered softly.
"What was meant
to be is you and me. Not you leaving me. I can't forget about you I
cant."
"Don't worry you
won't remember me." I replied pulling away a little to look in her
eyes.
"What do you
mean? Of course I will." She exclaimed.
"No you won't.
You won't remember me or meeting me or anything I've done." I pushed some
of her hair back.
"I could never
forget."
"But you will
and know this I love you." With that I pulled her close and passionately
kissed her. Blue and gold lights circled around as going round and round.
If we weren't so wrapped up in kissing each other it would have made us
dizzy. The lights multiplied into different colors now engulfing both our
bodies. They shined brightly almost blinding us. The lights started to
only surround Piper but we still kissed. Slowly they disappeared into
Piper's body. When they where completely gone I knew the magic had been
done. I pulled away from Piper once again. Her once
loving
eyes showed
nothing but confusion.
"Who who are
you?" She asked. Those where perhaps the most painful words I had ever
heard in my life.
"Just your dream
man." I whispered. Tears glistened in the moonlight on my cheeks. "This is
just a dream." I said pulling out some blue dust. I blew it in her face
and she started to dissolve. "I love you forever and always." I muttered
as she disappeared. I looked at the spot my Piper had stood desperately
wishing she was there. Falling to my knees I let more tears
fall.
More tears then
I had ever cried before. I had lost my true love, my soul mate, my
everything, the one that completes me.
The tears didn't
stop for hours. The night had turned into day, but you could hardly tell.
It was cloudy and the sky broke open. It was crying for our loss, it was
crying for me. I didn't move looking up into the sky. I was getting soaked
and chills went through my body but still I wouldn't move. I wasn't
planning on moving from that spot. Suddenly blue orbs appeared I knew a
whitelighter was coming. She formed in front of me tears in her own
eyes.
"I'm sorry Leo."
Julie whispered kneeling down next to me.
"Its not fair.
It hurts to talk, to move, to breath." I whispered not looking towards
her. She wrapped her arms around me trying to comfort me. There was only
one person that could have been able to do that. We both knew
it.
Meanwhile Piper
awoke in her bed. She went into the bathroom and looked herself over. She
found herself in a blue dress. Her eyes red and puffy, with mascara marks
running down her cheeks.
"It must have
been a hell of a night." She muttered realizing she didn't remember a
thing. She shrugged it off thinking she had drunk too much. Piper had been
drinking a lot since Phoebe left even more since Grams died. She sighed
brushing her tangled hair out. After combing her hair Piper went back into
her room to find something to wear. She placed the brush on the
nightstand. A glittering object caught her eye. She carefully picked up
the object and dangled it. It was a beautiful gold heart necklace. Piper
gasped at its beauty. "I don't have something like this." She
said
to herself. She
slipped it over her head and looked at herself in the mirror. Suddenly a
wave of emotional filled her. All sorts of emotions but sadness and sorrow
where most defined.
Piper quickly
pulled it off becoming frightened. She inspected the necklace more and
found something engraved in the back. Squinting a little she made out P
& L Forever. She gasped not knowing what to think. Was P her? Who was
L? Was this her necklace? Something urged her to replace the necklace on.
She again slipped it on and looked in the mirror. It now made her
practically glow. Like it was made for her and her alone. "I wonder where
it came from?" She sighed.
"Leo………" Julie
started. We hadn't moved or talked. The rain had gotten worse and
lightening crashed down. "Your going to get sick come on let's get out of
here." She insisted orbing out with me. We orbed back into my small
apartment. It was so empty so cold just like me now. I pulled a soggy
picture of Piper and I out. I traced her outline and let more tears
fall.
"Leo I know this
is the last thing on your mind but…….. but I have a message…… from them."
Julie said softly wishing that none of this had happen.
"What is it?" I
asked putting the picture back into my pocket. I whipped away the
remaining tears on my cheeks.
"They need you
to finish your job and they wouldn't let me take over I'm sorry I know
this is hard and."
"No I need to
get back to work." I replied interrupting her.
"But Leo this
soon and with them." She stated shocked at my change in
attitude.
"Its my job." I
replied and orbed out.
"Leo you're not
going to load yourself with work to forget about the pain. Its not going
to work you're going to have to deal with it." Julie sighed talking to
herself.
"How's he
doing?" Chad asked orbing next to her.
"Bad." She
replied. "By the way thanks for telling me."
"What are
friends for?" He answered smiling. Their eyes locked.
"God I hate
this. It's not fair first us then Leo."
Julie yelled
frustrated.
"I know I hate
it to. I hate being away from you." He wrapped his arms around her in
attempt to comfort her.
"Did you tell
Leo?" Julie asked changing the subject.
"About us no I
told him it was a charge. I was going to tell him but then he told me he
was going to meet the charmed ones. I didn't want this to affect his
mission. Then everything blew up." Chad explained.
"Plus I didn't
really know what to tell him. I wanna be with you
but………."
"I know." They
both had tears in their eyes. Knowing they would have to end this
forbidden love.
I orbed into the
apartment I had stayed in so many times. I couldn't breath when I saw
Piper. She was so beautiful as always. I suddenly realized she had on the
necklace I had given her a few days ago. It looked magnificent on her, as
if it was made for her. I sighed knowing I couldn't be with her. I quickly
pushed the thought of clipping my wings out of my mind. Picking out some
green dust from my pocket I blew it onto Piper. "Piper you need to call
Phoebe. Ask her to move back she needs you. You need her. Don't worry
things will work out." I paused not knowing if I should say the next part.
"I'm going to miss you and I'll always love you." With that the dust wore
off and Piper looked mildly confused. She looked towards the phone. Slowly
walking towards it Piper picked it up and dialed. I smiled satisfied I
knew Piper would bring the family together. I looked Longley at Piper then
orbed out. Orbing back to the beach I sat in the place I had before. The
rain had finally let up. The suns rays peeked through the gray
clouds.
"Why go on. I
have no heart now. What's the point in being a whitelighter without a
heart? Piper holds it and she will forever. Even if she falls in love with
someone else and has kids, She will always hold my heart. I know I will
never get over her. She is my soul mate. So why go on?" I paused waiting
for a replied from the oceans. The waves roared with
fiery.
I smiled knowing
what their answer was. "I go on with the hope our paths will cross again."
I stared at the endless oceans knowing that the hope of loving Piper again
was the only thing keeping me going.
