Cant Help But Wait

AU Major PiperLeo. Stuck in an abusive relationship and not wanting out, not until he came into the picture.

Author's Note: I would like to thank all those who reviewed on the first chapter, it really motivates me. Here is another installment of the story.

Chapter Three

Piper slowly opened her eyes as a familiar pain rushed to her head. She slowly turned on her side to the opposite of the bed where a cold empty space was.

This is how her life was. He was like a drug to her. So addictive but with a very bad hangover every now and again. She was stuck and wasn't interested in leaving. He was all that she had and she wasn't willing to give him up for a thing in the world because she loved him and she knew that he loved her. That was all she ever needed.

Suddenly the scent of bacon and eggs filled the room. He was making her breakfast. Piper slowly dragged herself out of the bed. Instantly pain shot through her body like a lightening bolt. She grabbed her red silk robe and tied around her body and walked into the bathroom.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like crap and knew how much he hated her looking anything but her best.

"It is all worth it." Piper said to the unfamiliar stranger staring at her through the mirror.

Leo walked into his office with a little pep in his step. After having a restless night of sleep he managed to have one of his brightest smile on his faces. Today he decided to ask Piper out on an official date. After yesterday, he was intrigued by her in fascinating way and he just needed to get to know her better. Although he was very good looking he always had a problem at times keeping a steady girlfriend. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that most college girls aren't really interested in those long serious relationships.

Well he wasn't sure if he was that serious about Piper but he knew that interested in finding out. Leo walked down the long white corridors towards Piper's office. As he stood in front of the door thinking of how he would ask her out overheard some voices coming out of the room.

"So what happened to you again?" Dr. Roger asked.

"I was playing some tennis with my sisters yesterday, you know how bad I am at some sports." Piper said as if she had rehearsed it.

Leo stood at the door listening. What had happened to Piper? He thought. Suddenly the door abruptly opened revealing his co-worked Dr. Blake who looked a bit surprised to see Leo.

"Leo what brings you up this way?" Dr. Blake asked looking a bit from Leo to the close door behind him.

"Oh nothing I just wanted to see if Piper was in." Leo replied.

"Well she isn't feeling very well; you know had a tennis accident." Dr. Blake said in a fake concern which Leo didn't happen to pick up.

"That sounds so sad I guess I will talk to her later than." Leo said as he started to walk away but suddenly stopped. "Hey do you want to get a drink after work?"

"Sure just pass by my office when you are ready." He said as he quickly walked away.

The two men sat in Hal's drinking like a couple of old war buddies in at a small table in the middle of the room laughing hysterically.

"Why are we laughing?" Leo slurred over the music. Roger seemed to have to stop his laughing to think.

"Who knows?" Roger said as he started laughing again. Suddenly Roger was on the floor on top of a broken chair with a group of people standing above him shaking their head.

"Poor guy is drunk again. Hey one of you guys call the girl again to come get him will ya?" the bartender said as he along with another man helped Roger to his feet.

"I gotta get going." Leo said as he picked up his jacket and casually walked out of the bar after placing a tip on the table. Once Leo was out of the door, a man came from behind the kitchen with a handset in his hand.

"Piper said that she is on her way."

I know it is a bit short but I don't want to rush everything to much. Tell me what you thought of this chapter please review.
