Chapter 2: The long ride home

Chapter 2: The long ride home
It had gotten dark very quickly as Leo and Piper packed to go home. After everything was in the trunk
Piper got in the drivers seat and Leo got in the passengers seat. Piper started up the car and headed
for home.
"I had a really great time tonight." Piper commented looking at the road ahead of her. Rain started to poor
down from the heavens.
"Me two…… it seems we left just in time." Leo said observing the heavy rain outside.
"Yeah. I love you so much." Piper said sighing as happy thoughts touched her mind.
"I love you more than u will ever know." Leo whispered. Suddenly lightening and thunder rang out
from the endless sky's. Piper jumped in fear as the thunder roared through what seemed like the whole
world. "Its amazing you know? You have faced a lot of things like demons and stuff. Yet you are still afraid
of lightening." Leo said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid I was just surprised." Piper said defended herself.
"Well I think it's cute." Leo answered kissing Piper on the cheek.
"You know if you keep that up I'm gonna have to freeze you or something. I can't concentrate with you
around. Your just so adorable I can't keep my eyes on the road." Piper turned her attention towards Leo and
they locked into a passionate kiss. Suddenly Leo jerked back as he realized Piper was suppose to be driving. He looked ahead of them and realized they weren't on the road anymore. A tree was heading straight towards them. Panicking Piper swirvered back onto the road and stopped the car. To Piper's relief they had just missed the tree. She looked towards Leo to make sure he was okay and she saw him gazing wide eyed at the road ahead of them. She turned her gaze to where Leo's was and saw a car heading straight for them. It was to close to do anything and the car collided with Piper's jeep head on. The impact jerked Piper back then threw her head into the steering wheel. Darkness came to Leo as he was thrown back.
Hours late Leo awoke in a white room. He found himself lying in bed with bandages all over. He looked at his arm, which had been put in a cast. Leo tried to sit up but a sever pain stopped him. He realized that he must have some broken ribs or something. Leo looked around the room to see if Piper was anywhere in sight. No one was there this got him worried. He decided to forget the pain and get up to find Piper. Very slowly he made his way out of bed. Just as he was almost up, the door to his room opened. Phoebe walked in with a coffee.
"No no no you get back in bed." Phoebe said hurrying over to Leo who was obviously in a lot of pain. He
didn't argue with her as she eased him back into bed.
Leo noticed that Phoebe's beautiful face had been stained with tears just before she had come in. The worst thoughts came to mind. What if Piper was dead? Leo looked frantically at Phoebe.
"Where's Piper?" He choked as tears threatened to shed.
"She's in the next room. She got more beat up than you, but they say she will be okay. She just has to
wake up." Phoebe answered reassuring Leo that she was ok.
"Thank god I thought she was dead. I would never forgive myself. It was basically my fault any ways"
Leo let one tear fall then wiped the others away.
"Don't think that. You know Piper she wouldn't want you to think that."
"I know but it's the truth."
"No." Leo deiced to leave it at that knowing the youngest Halliwell would never change her mind.
"I want to see her." Leo said once again trying to get up.
"No you stay put. You got beaten up pretty bad. When Piper wakes up I'm not gonna get yelled at by her that I had her boyfriend with five broken ribs getting up. Besides they only want one of us in to see you guys at
a time. Prue is with her right now." Leo smiled at the comment Phoebe made, but still wanted to see Piper
disparately.
"Phoebe." Leo said trying to get her to change her mind.
"Don't you Phoebe me…… I'm suppose to make you stay put tell Piper's awake and thats just what I'm going to do." Phoebe smiled sitting next to Leo. Leo decided this was also useless to argue with her about. When she left he would go see Piper even if he had to orb. Which he wasn't sure he could even do at the moment. Suddenly Prue entered.
"Leo glad your ok." She greeted.
"Me two, Is Piper ok?" Leo asked at the sight of the oldest sister.
"The doctors say when she wakes up she should be fine." Prue answered.
"What yeah don't believe me?" Phoebe asked pretending to be hurt.
"Well who knows what the girl encharged of keeping me here would say to keep me here." Leo commented.
"Good point, but I would never lie about Piper to you."
"Hey I thought only one of you could come in at a time." Leo asked looking at Phoebe who had said it.
"That lie wasn't about Piper." Phoebe said defending herself. Just as Leo was about to comment the doctor came in.
"How are we feeling?" He greeted.
"Like a car just rammed into my." Leo answered.
"Well I guess you should feel like that since that's what happen."
"Can I see Piper?" Leo asked.
"One tracked mind." Phoebe muttered.
"Well she won't be awake for another couple hours. And you need all the rest you can get. I would rather
you wait tell she is at least awake." Leo sighed as he heard the doctor's answer. He didn't care if everyone in the world came in and told him Piper was fine. He had to see for himself.
A few hours later Phoebe finally got out of Leo's room to go get some food. Leo was very relieved he
loved Phoebe but sometimes she could be a little much. Leo slowly got out of bed and headed towards the door. Pain went all through his body but he ignored it. Reaching the door he saw a lot of doctors were near. He knew he would get stopped if they saw him. So Leo decided to see if he could orb. He concentrated hard for a while. Two times he had materialized into orbs but couldn't make it all the way.
"Third times a charm." Leo commented as he orb into Piper's room. A few seconds later Leo arrived in
Piper's room. Just as Phoebe and the doctor had said Piper laid peacefully on the bed. She had some bandages on her body but Leo thought she looked as beautiful as ever. Leo took the seat next to Piper's bed and watched her breath. He wondered why she hadn't woken up yet but then deiced they must had given her drugs for the pain. Still he wanted to see her beautiful eyes staring lovely at him. As if Leo's prays were answered Piper stirred. She opened her eyes slightly. Leo stared straight in them but found something that alarmed him. They weren't the same ones he stared in ever day. They were more distant unknowing to the world around them. "Piper." Leo whispered not sure what to think. Then Piper said words that hit Leo like a thousands knives piercing his body.
"Do I know you?" He sat in shocked hearing these words.
"You don't know who I am?" Leo asked barely getting it out.
"No come to think of it I don't know who I am." Piper said getting really worried.
"You don't remember what happen. Or anything like your sisters who you are?" Suddenly Phoebe burst into the room out of breath.
"I have been looking every where for you?" Phoebe asked.
"She doesn't remember us." Leo mumbled. Phoebe stood in confusion then noticed her sister was awake.
"Oh Piper I am so glad your awake!" Phoebe exclaimed hugging Piper. Phoebe noticed that her older sister tensed up as she hugs her. It wasn't the same hug they usual shared. There was no love in this one. Phoebe
let go of Piper then thought about what Leo said.
"So I take it I'm Piper?" Piper asked looking at them.
"What you don't remember us?" Phoebe asked getting scared.
"No I don't remember a thing."
"I'll go get a doctor." Phoebe yelled running out the door. Leo just stared at the wall knowing if his Piper
didn't come back nothing would ever be the same.
