Chapter 3: Piper just catches her boyfriend Jason cheating on her. After not being seen for some time, Leo goes out to find her.

A/N: IM SORRY! I know I said I would update fast book since school started... my time for FF has been limited! I wake up early for school (6am early for me) dont get out till 3:30 and don't go to bed till 12 'cause of homework. This past week has been stressfull 'cause I had hip-hop try-outs :O i hope i get in... won't find out till tuesday... well here's Fix You.

Piper was having an ok day so far. She woke up on time for school which is great! If she was late one more time Mr. Bor promised a detention. A shiver went down her spine. Detention meant Mr. D… let's just say that, Piper would rather be an hour early to class than spend an hour with Mr. D.

She also got the last breakfast burrito in the cafeteria, which are one of the few delicious things they serve. Let's not forget that her best friend in the whole wide world gave her a free water today.

As Piper walked down the hall, a pair of hand covered her eyes. Startled, the brown haired teen stopped and felt the hands that prevent her from seeing. It could only be three people: her fantastic boyfriend Jason, her all too funny best friend Leo or a serial killer… she really hoped the person isn't a killer…

As soon as her soft hands brushed the stranger's hands, serial killer was crossed out. As was Jason's name. She only knew one person who has long and rough nimble fingers.

"My I ask why you are preventing me from seeing the world, Repairboy?"

"Not preventing Beauty Queen, preparing."

"Preparing for what?" She asked as she turned to see her friend.

"To see this beautiful face." He smirked. She shoved him playfully.

"Ha-ha."

"Actually, I bring you-"he slid his backpack off his shoulder and opened it, handing her- "water!"

"Water."

"Not just any water, free water!"

"Free water?"

"Yes!" The latino boy said with more enthusiasm than necessary. "The vending machine gods have blessed me with two water bottles when I had only paid for one." He slung his arm around his more petit friend. "The gods love me."

"In your dreams."

"Which I look forward to…"

She was in her last class now, English. They weren't doing much, just watching a movie. The teacher is grading tests, not paying any attention to the class. Piper was falling asleep when her phone vibrated, signaling that she has a text message.

Hey, i cant make it 2night coach wants the team 2 practice 2day, u no 4 the game 2morrow… sorry-Jason

This was the fifth time Jason had canceled on her. Yeah it bothered her but he was the quarterback. She knew how much the school depended on him, especially since they'll be playing against their rival school tomorrow…

Its ok… txt me after.-Piper

After getting a K as a response, she refocused on the movie.

"Hey Beauty queen"

"Hi Leo" Piper felt him put an arm around her shoulder but she kept on walking. This jester was normal, but recently, Piper would get these… feeling when Leo did them. She wasn't sure what they meant… she pushed that thought behind.

"Where's Sparky?" Leo asked.

"Football practice... which brings me to the next question, why aren't you at practice?" Leo was one of the fastest people Piper knew. Which was how he got to be a wide receiver.

"We don't have practice..." Leo stared at her bewildered.

"No, Jason texted me saying you guys had practice." She explained.

"Well if we do, I didn't get a text..." He checked his phone and saw he had zero messages. "No one loves me..." Piper rolled her eyes at his dramatic antics.

"Come on, time to get Sparky in trouble"

The tag team duo walked on to the football field only to find it deserted. Piper felt hurt. Why would Jason lie?

"Beauty queen?" Piper looked at her best friend. "Maybe he had a good reason for lying... dont jump to conclusions ok" He said, trying to defend his best friend. They headed back to the parking lot.

About five cars where in the parking lot by now. As they got closer to Leo's car, Piper notice two figures by the steps.

"Hey Leo look, can you see who they are?" Leo turned to where Piper pointed. He saw two figures sucking faces, but if he squinted his eyes he could make out blonde hair and... no.

"Um, Piper I think we should go..."

"Wait, I want to see who it is, do you think its Will?" Piper started to walk closer to the unknown couple.

"Piper don't!" But it was to late. As soon as he called her, the unknown couple separated. Reveling their identities.

"Jason?" The hurt in Piper's voice and eyes was unmistakable. She felt betrayed. She walked up to him and he immediately started to come up with excuses.

"Piper, I-I can explain-" She slapped him, hard.

"You- you disgusting son-of-a-bit... how could you? And with her?!" Before he could answer, Piper slapped him again, and ran. The last thing she saw was Leo talking to Jason.

I wasn't sure how long I'd been here, but since the sun was setting, my best guest is 4 hours, that and i checked my phone. I felt my phone buzz, again.

Please pick up BeautyQueen! Your dad is growing worried... I'm worried...

That's the 122nd message that I've received. 64 from Leo, some from Dad and friends and some from... him. I've also received 23 phone calls; 15 from Leo, a couple from Dad and friends and 3 from... he-who-should-not-be-named.

I know I'm being ridiculous, with not saying his name but I-I just-I can't... we've been together for almost a year. And he-he cheated on me! With Drew, my enemy no-less! I just couldn't believe it... I can't face him. I can't face anybody right now.

"I just wish I could go away."

"Would I be able to come with you?" I turned around and was met with familiar curls and a sad smile...

"Leo, how'd you find me?" He sat down next to me on the bench and handed me his jacket. I hadn't noticed that I was freezing.

"Well, after you had run off, I went to your house in hopes of finding you there. Obviously you weren't, so I drove to my house, no luck. I then checked with all of our friends and checked you favorite hang outs. After driving around town like a mad man for 4 hours, I finally figured where you would be."

"You figured that I'd be here?" He smiled sheepishly at me.

"Well no... I was on my way to the park down the street but as I was driving pass here it kinda clicked." I stared down at my mothers grave. She had passed away when I was three. I don't visit much but after today's event's, I needed to come. I looked up and saw his face clearly since he got here.

"Leo! What happened to your lip!" The right edge of his lip was busted. I reached my hand up but he grabbed it mid-reach and intertwined our hands instead.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." But I remembered, right before I ran, I saw Leo taking to-

"He-he did this to you, didn't he." He nodded his head and said, "But he got worse, I didn't kill him. If that's what you're thinking. But let's just say that he doesn't pull of the brused face look." He tried to smile at me but it quickly left when he saw that I wasn't laughing.

"Leo, that's sweet but what if you get in trouble! If Jason's dad find out that you did that… he'll try to get you off the team!"

"That doesn't matter! He hurt you!" He stood and started pacing infront of me. He was mad, no, he was upset and hurt. "He promised he wouldn't hurt you! He said that if I kept my distance then…" he stopped when he noticed his mistake.

"He said what?" Leo looked at me horrer strucked. "Leo, what do you mean by 'keeping your distance', huh? Did you know that he-"

"NO! That's not it at all!"

"Then what the hell did you mean?!" He shut his eyes tight and ran his left hand through his hair while resting his right hand on his waist. His frustrated look. After a couple minutes of silence he finally spoke.

"Do you remember last year when you had found roses in your locker?"

"Yeah, Jason had given them to me and he had asked me out for the first time."

"Well… Jason didn't… he wasn't the one who had… given you the flowers…"

"What do you mean? I had asked him if he was the one who put them in my locker and he said yes-"

"He lied to you."

"What?"

"I… I put those roses in your locker… they were from me…" I stared at him, shocked. I had asked Jason if they were from him and he didn't hesitate to answer.

"But-he... you never... what?" I stuttered. Why would Leo give roses? He sat back down but with distance between us.

"Piper, you've been my best friend for a long time. It's not hard to see that you're gorgeous. Not to mention; smart, sweet, kind, and can kick-ass when mad. How could I not fall in love with you?"

Silence. He loves me. My best friend of seven years just told me he loves me... how could I say anything?

"I probably shouldn't have said that. I just can't sit here and see my best friend, that I love, cry and find a way to blame her self because that's what you do! I just thought that, since you're going to break-up with him... Wait, you are going to break-up with him right? Because that was-"

"Of course I'm going to break-up with him." I finally said. "I just need time..." The light in his eyes faded. "Leo, I like you and I don't just need time, I need a friend." He scooted closer and wrapped me in his arms and sung our song.

"when the tears stream down your face

when you lose something you can't replace

when the tears stream down your face and I-I-I-I

when the tears stream down your face and

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

when the tears stream down your face and I-I-I-I...

lights will guide you home and ignite your bones

and I will try-to fix you...

Thank you too:
