Leo woke up in Piper's room three days later. He had been here since this all happened. Piper's family had come and stayed yesterday for a few hours while Leo went home to get clothes and a shower and blankets. Phoebe had stayed and she was out getting coffee. Karyn had also come with Pauline. He stood up and stretched. As he walked over to her bed, he noticed her pillow was falling. He gently lifted her head and replaced it. Piper hadn't woken up yet, and the doctors believed she was in a coma.

Leo sat in the chair beside her and watched her sleep.

"Wake up, Piper. Please wake up," he whispered.

Phoebe walked in and handed Leo his cup of coffee.

"Anything happen?" Phoebe asked.

"No. Nothing," Leo responded lifelessly.

Phoebe and Leo had stayed up almost all night. They cried and talked and comforted each other.

"She'll come out of it. Piper is a fighter," she said.

"I know," he said with a smile. "She'll be waking up soon." His voice cracked as he reassured himself.

Phoebe leaned over and hugged him.

"If I know Piper, she'll be up and complaining in no time," Phoebe said.

Leo forced a smile. His heart broke a little more every time he looked at her.

"I wonder where she is. If she's dreaming. If she hears me. If she feels anything," Leo thought aloud.

"Of course she does," Phoebe said, and began to cry. "Of course she does," she repeated.

The tears streamed down Leo's face. "Then why won't she wake up? Why won't she-"

He choked up and he closed his eyes.

"Oh, honey. She'll wake up. Very soon," Phoebe said as she stood up and kissed Piper's forehead. Then she walked back over to the couch she had slept on. They sat in silence for hours.

"What do we do when we have to go to school?" Phoebe asked.

"I guess we go. I'll get Piper's work, and spend the nights here," he said.

"I'll come whenever I can," Phoebe said. "But right now, I think you need to be alone with her."

"Okay," Leo said as she gathered her things and left. "I'll see you later."

Leo pulled out Piper's laptop. He went into her pictures and found one of her in a field. One day they had a picnic out there. Piper had a long white skirt on and a teal tank top covered by Leo's jacket. She was smelling a flower and her face was coverd in sunlight as her skirt was flowing in the wind. He smiled as he looked at it. He looked at the Piper in the picture, full of life and happiness. Then he looked at the Piper laying in the bed, lifeless and pale. The tears continued to stream and they covered his shirt. He closed the laptop and put it away. He stood up and kissed Piper's hand, then her forehead.

"Please. Piper, wake up. Please. I can't. I won't. Please. I can't lose you," Leo sobbed over her body. "I can't do this."

He held her hand and cried over her. He rested his head on her chest. After a few minutes, he got up and sat back in the chair. He watched her breathe in. Then out. He watched her chest move up. Then down.

Leo wasn't religious. He never had been. He hadn't gone to church in years. He never prayed. He never thanked God for anything. But at this moment he would do anything that could possibly help.

"I know I have never been very faithful," He spoke quietly and held Piper's hand with both of his. "I don't go to church. And I don't pray. But In front of me, is the love of my life. My future wife. My love. And I cannot lose her. If you save her, if you could please wake her up, I'll do all those things. I'll go to church every Sunday. I'll pray before every meal. I'll live like I'm supposed to. Please. I am begging you."

Leo looked up and pleaded with all he had in him.

"I beg of you. Save her please. Without Piper, I am nothing. I would die without her. I can't immagine not waking up to her smile everyday. Please wake her up. Save her life. And mine."

Piper's eyes fluttered, and Leo gasped. Leo smashed the nurse button. One came running in.

"What? Is something wrong?" The nurse asked.

"Her eyes! They opened for a second!" Leo cried.

"Oh," The nurse looked disappointed. "That's her body's natural reflects. She isn't waking up. Her body is-"

"Her body is what?!" Leo demanded.

"Her body is, well, it's shutting down," she said slowly.

"What?" Leo said weakly. "No. That. That's not whats happening. That can't happen."

"I'm so sorry," she spoke softly.

Leo stormed out. He needed a break from all of this. He ran back to their dorm. He passed the spot where it happened. The blood stains were still there. He cried as he passed it, and then barged into their dorm. He ran to the bed and laid down on her side of it. He shoved his face into her pillow. It smelled just like her. He cried as he remembered the times she had laid here. He smiled when he thought of the time he walked in she and Pauline were laying together and Piper was playing with her nose. He laid there and cried all the pain out. Around an hour later he returned to the hospital. He walked in and saw her still lying there. He smiled and walked over to kiss her forehead.

He checked his emails quickly, and decided to work on the essays he had due. He kept himself distracted with busywork. Anything was better than falling apart. He worked for hours on his assignments. He finished up and saved his work. As he closed the program he was using, he saw Piper's screensaver. It was a picture of Piper and Leo kissing on a bridge. You could see the horizon between the sky and water behind them. It made him smile. He turned on some of Piper's favorite music. He was trying to be in a good mood. He wanted there to be happiness in the atmosphere when she woke up. He knew she would wake up. He had asked God.

Wouldn't that be enough?
