Piper

See, when Piper first discovered about bond mates, well, you can guess. How does anyone take the news that there is some one out there who loves you completely unconditionally, no matter what, forever, and has for thousands of years.

Your own guaranteed soul mate. Well fifteen year old Piper was giddy, she talked about it for weeks. Victoria thought it was stupid, Victoria was never much for love at first sight; actually Victoria was never much for love in general.

"Boys" she would groan "Who needs them" she said this about once a month starting in first grade.

When she got together with Evan, well Piper didn't know who was more surprised, Piper or Victoria. Then it just got so much worse when Bryce Cutting came into the picture. Piper, of course, like every growing up in the Upper East Side had known him forever, but she always thought he was a bit of a creep.

Then something happened, Piper had all those weird flashbacks everyone kept hyping about, and there was this boy. Who at first Piper thought was unfamiliar, even though she had never seen him with her eyes, she knew him she knew every inch of him.

And she could easily spot him out, by his hands, by his arms, by his lips, all she needed was a small bit of him and she knew him.

And then one day, Piper had gone to school with another sleepless night under her eyes, when it just happened.

Jaime Kip was talking to Bryce Cutting, and then she knew. The eyes, the lips, the laugh the voice, his very being. She knew him, he had been haunted her for weeks now, no one had to tell her, Piper figured it out right away, Bryce Cutting was her Bond Mate.

But Piper just couldn't tell Victoria, it was so personal, too personal.

It weighed on Piper for days before she found the courage to even look at him, much less talk to him. Then she just did, he was alone in the Hallway, school had ended about an hour ago, she walked up behind him.

"I know" was all he said to her, he didn't face her, but his dark eyes raced through her head, how they were always serious, how no light could ever reach them.

"Sorry?" Piper asked "You and me, I've known for awhile" "Well?" Piper felt anger rising up inside her, he claimed he had known for 'awhile' how long was awhile?

How could he not tell her? It was driving her crazy and according to him, well it was no big deal.

"Well what? It doesn't have to mean anything, not yet" "What?" Piper managed, she should have said something else, she was stronger than that, Piper Crandall squashed people under her $500 heals, Piper Crandall did not say "What?" to people who pissed her off.

"Honestly, Piper, you don't like me, it's obvious, you like the idea of me, let's leave at that for a little while" and that was that. Piper had just been rejected by her soul mate, and she had done nothing.

She wasn't sure what she was more upset about. But it didn't stop there, oh no, Piper could have handled that no problem, but it got so much worse. It was at Lucy Forbes's party that Winter, Victoria had gone off with Evan some time earlier, leaving Piper chatting with some cute human boy from NYU

when he came up to her, He didn't say anything, but he smiled at her, and Piper never felt more happy, He took her head and he spun her away into the darkness, he didn't bother dancing with her, he didn't bother telling her she was beautiful, his eyes said enough. They were so past that.

Piper didn't stop him when he closed the door when he helped her pull her shirt over her head, and Piper didn't hesitate to pull him jeans off, And she certainly didn't resist when they fell down on the bed together.

And then it was over, the only moment they had been together, well it didn't quite feel real, it felt like two different people who had been touching and moving in that bed.

When Piper woke up that next morning, it was next to a stranger, not some one who loved her passionately. It was Piper this time, who stayed clear of him. And Bryce easily got the message.

Then it was Victoria who found out, then Victoria went missing, then Victoria died.

And suddenly Piper just didn't care.

The thing she thought she wanted more than anything, it just didn't matter once your friend wasn't there to share it with you.

When Piper left school that afternoon, well nothing had ever relieved her more, she was just draining as she slumped down on the leather seats of her family car. She had about a hundred text messages and no intention of reading them.

For the first time in, well a very, very long time, Piper Crandall stayed at home, sat on her bed and looked at the ceiling until her eyes were too heavy to keep open.
