(Scene: Piper's house, Leo snuck over to spend the night with her. They are in Piper's room)

Piper was looking for her lighter as Leo's eyes wandered after her legs. He wished he could rub his hand across them. They looked so smooth. Piper found her lighter and lit a few candles. She turned off the light and sat next to him on her bed. Leo shook the fantasies out of his mind and looked at her.

"So, how are you?" said Leo, reassuring himself.

"Leo, I'm fine. Stop asking!" Piper snapped. "Trust me, I'm okay."

"Good," he said, feeling stupid for repeating his question once again.

Piper looked apologetic for snapping at him, and then she put her hand on his knee and looked into his eyes.

"Leo, I appreciate your caring," she told him. "But I can only say 'I'm fine' so many times, you know?"

"Okay, I just feel like it's all my fault," he told her.

Her hand was still on his knee. He couldn't keep his most pleasurable thoughts at bay much longer.

"Oh, gosh Leo. It isn't," she reassured him, stroking his knee. He was getting hard.

Piper knew what she was doing to him. She wandered why she was purposefully doing it, but it felt right. It felt fun. She began rubbing up his jeans, to the button.

"Piper, should we be doing this?" Leo asked her uncertainly, as she unbuttoned his pants.

Piper proceeded to unzip his pants. "I don't know... we both want to..."

Piper paused, and looked into his eyes.

"I'll be shutting up now," Leo said laughing.

She sat in between his knees and pulled his pants off his hips. She slipped the boxers off, and kissed the top of his erection. She then placed one delicate hand around it, and began going up and down. Faster and faster. He began to moan.

"oohhuhhmmm. Oh god, Piper," he breathed.

She continued to speed up as he moaned softly. He exploded at the point of his pleasure. She giggled, then slowly licked the cum. He sat up and pulled her on his lap, putting her knees behind him and looking into her eyes. He began to unbutton her shirt. He ripped it off and threw it to the ground. He slipped her undershirt off and began to suck on her neck. He put his hand behind her and undid her strapless bra and let it fall. He was working his way to her breasts. He lifted one and put her nipple in to his mouth. He sucked and licked as she groped his shoulders. Piper began to moan and Leo felt her giving in. She was letting go. Suddenly she jumped up and grabbed her clothes and put them on.

"Wh-what are you doing?" Leo asked, confused.

"It's Dan. It isn't fair to him," she said softly.

"Can I ask you something?" Leo said, slipping his boxers up and zipping his pants. "It may be none of my business, but I'd really like to know."

"Sure Leo. Anything," she said as she fixed her hair and looked to him.

"Okay," he said slowly. Then he blurted it out. "Why are you with Dan?"

Leo expected her to be surprised, but she wasn't. She looked as if she had been wondering this herself for quite some time. She pondered for a few seconds. Then she opened her mouth. Nothing came out. She opened it again.

"I don't really know," she answered honestly. "I guess, we've just been together for so long, why break it off?"

"Why not break it off? He treats you like crap. He left you in the hospital to go to the movies with his friends!" Leo said loudly. Then he changed his tone. "Piper, I could treat you right. You could actually be happy with me."

"I know. But I need time," she whispered, turning away.

Leo knew he could wait for her for forever, but he couldn't bear her being with Dan for much longer. He walked home and layed in his bed for hours. He spent the whole night thinking about her, and wishing they were together alone in his bed.

******************

The next day, Leo and Piper are alone in the hallway.

diihihihihhing!

"Damn, there's the bell." Piper said, cramming books into her bag.

"Can I walk you home?

"Well, actually, I have to..."

Piper hesitates. She glances over to where Dan is talking to his friends. She told Dan she would stay and watch him play in the football game. She looks back at Leo.

"...do absolutely nothing. Let's go."

Piper dragged Leo outside in a hurry.

"So..." Piper trailed off.

"So... what?" Leo said and they both laughed.

"So, I think I'll do my homework tomorrow. Wanna do something?" She asked.

"Absolutely. What do you wanna do?" He asked as they walked.

"Well, that new movie just came out..." she suggested.

"Oh, that new thriller? Sounds great. I'll pick you up at 8?" Leo returned.

"Sure." Piper said with a smile.

Leo has a kind of sad look on his face. At this moment, he realizes he doesn't want to be the one she sneaks away with. He wants to be her boyfriend. And if he couldn't have that, it wasn't worth watching her be miserable with Dan.

"Leo, what's wrong? You look sad..." Piper asked, looking him in the face.

"I actually," Leo began, "don't think I can see you anymore."

"Wh-Why?" She said, startled and confused.

"I can't be around you knowing that you are with Dan." Leo said honestly. "He is so wrong for you. He treats you like a little trophy girlfriend. Just something to look at..."

"Leo, I told you, I just need time. It's hard for me." Piper said, stalling.

"I thought a could respect that, but I can't. You know you deserve better," Leo said as he turned away from her.

"But Leo, I-" Piper said. Then Leo cut her off.

"Save it, Piper." Leo whispered. He came close to her face and said "I love you too much to watch you put yourself through this."

Before Piper had a chance to say anything else, Leo stormed off. Piper stood there, fighting tears. As he walks away, she fell to her knees and began to cry. She just lost her best friend, and possibly, the love of her life.
