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: So I am not going to go into the whole I am sorry for not updating thing, cause it would just end up being longer than the actual chapter. But here is an update and hopefully I will get you guys another chapter soon, as long as I see people are still interested in the story or even my writing. Thanks for those who have read it so far. Enjoy

Leo stumbled outside of the bar as best as he could. He didn't make it that far because unfortunately the alcohol was getting the best of him. Damn liquor. he swore under his breath. It was not like him to drink that much especially on a weekday, lucky for him he was working evenings at the hospital this week so he didn't need to worry about it much. Summing up as much strength as he could, he finally approached the parking lot where his car had been parked. Knowing he was not in any position to be driving, he simply adjusted the drivers seat into a makeshift bed and drifted to sleep. He knew he would pay for it in the morning but he didn't care, his mind was too far gone.

If only this was the day time, I would march up to Piper and ask her out! he mumbled to himself as he started to drift off to bed with thoughts of the young female ever present.

Piper pulled up to the local pub and inwardly sighed. She had received "the call" that Roger had too much to drink, again. Walking towards the door she saw a familiar figure leaning against the frame.

"Hey guys its Piper!" The bartender along with a few other guests shook their head at Roger's loud outburst. Suddenly 2 other guys appeared next to him trying to get him to stand straight by causing him to balance on their shoulders.

Piper shook her head at the sight before her but it wasn't anything too new. Roger would go out with friends and somehow always manage to be the dumb one to drink more than his liver could handle which would end with the barkeep calling her and she having to rescue him, whatever state he was in. She shook her head as she watched the 2 guys help her husband to her black jeep. "Thanks guys" she said as they placed him inside.

"Anytime Piper, I think you should try to get him a dog tag or something with your number on it cause if it were anywhere else, he would probably be sleeping on the streets tonight." One of the guys said jokingly. "Take care buddy and you get some rest."

Piper hopped in the car and started the ignition. She looked over at the man lying in the backseat; he looked so tired and beaten. It seemed like he was a completely different person than the man she once loved, the man who would buy her things just because, the one who would lose hours of sleep just to figure out new ways to tell her that he loved her. Unfortunately those days were gone; guess at some point the water usually runs dry.

"Hey Pip" Piper heard coming from the backseat before she was able to reply he continued, "I was drinking with your new BOYFRIEND tonight and you know what, I don't like him." Piper gripped the steering wheel a bit tighter at the words. Leo was there, I wonder if he saw me, or if he is okay. Piper reassured herself that he was fine, he seemed to be quite a responsible man and driving home drunk just did not seem like his style. She made a mental note to pay him a visit tomorrow at work. "If he thinks he can come in and try to steal away my girl he has a..." Piper looked back to see a snoring Roger. Upon reaching their house, Piper used as much strength as she had to carry his stiff body to the living room. If you had seen the site yourself you would not believe it.

Ensuring that he was as comfortable as he could be, she closed up the house and headed back upstairs to her room. She would deal with him in the morning.

The next morning, Piper was up bright and early making breakfast like she usually would. She knew that Roger wouldn't be up no time soon, so she left his portion in the microwave as she finished getting ready for work. Looking outside in their yard, she realized that Roger had taken his car last night when he went drinking. Torn between taking her car and leaving it to pick up his, she decided within herself that it would be easier to just get a cab and pick up his. Being content with everything in order at home, she got her stuff and headed out the door for what would seem to be a very long day.

20 minutes later she was walking around the parking lot behind the bar where Roger was drinking. Spotting the gray convertible she walked over swiftly clicking the unlock button on the keys. Beep beep. The sound the car roared in the empty parking lot, or at least she thought.

In the red BMW a few cars down, Leo was awaken by the beeping car. He had always been such a light sleeper and was surprised he had made it this long through the night without getting up. He sat forward in his seat and tried to start the car when he found himself grabbing his head, Damn hangover, going back down. He thought to himself as he resumed his previous position. Coffee, that will make everything better. Seeing that he was going nowhere he decided to get out and roam around for a nearby cafe or something, somewhere he could get some coffee.

Piper still fiddling with the car seat attempted to peer over the steering wheel out the window. She always had trouble adjusting his car seat to her liking; it was damn near impossible for her to drive with it as is, he was a little over 6 feet and she was a mere 5 feet 4. Just when she was about ready to pull off, she saw a familiar figure walking in front of the car. Not being able to control herself she peered out the window and called a name that caused the individual to stop dead in his tracks.

"Leo?"

Here is another chapter guys, I am dedicating it to my roommate Dana, who stumbled across my stories and begged me to finish em. I will update and attempt to finish it as long as you guys will have me.
