Weeks had gone by and still no word from Leo. Nothing, not
that Piper had expected any word from him. After all he had said she had to let
go for now. Still Piper couldn't help but hope. Every time she saw a glowing
light her heart leaped in hopes that is was Leo. But every time disappointment
filled her for he did not come to her.
Nights where spent almost sleepless
tossing and turning. Not being able to get to sleep without his warm embrace.
Tears always formed in her eyes when she thought she would never get to hold him
again.
She had stopped helping innocents. After all why should she help
others when her own life was hell? Witchcraft had been the main cause of all her
problems. And she for one was fid up with it. She had promised not to give it up
tell they all wanted to but she couldn't keep that promise. Not after what they
did her. They hurt her in the biggest way imaginable. It might seem selfish and
she knew Phoebe didn't understand. But then again Phoebe never had been in love.
"Piper?" Phoebe questioned knocking lightly on her door. She was worried
about her sister. She understood this was hard for Piper but she couldn't stop
living her life. There are so many other things life had to offer. "Can I come
in?" She asked softly awaiting Piper's answer. Piper nodded and Phoebe stepped
into the room. It was a mess she would be shocked if the whole Leo thing hadn't
happen. For Piper always kept a clean room being the neatest of the sisters. All
assorted items were scattered around the room. Phoebe saw doors and cloths
everywhere. She knew that Piper had obviously let out her frustration on these
poor inanimate objects. "How you doing?" Phoebe asked knowing the answer to that
question was obvious. After getting no reply Phoebe sighed and sat next to her
on the bed. "Hunny I know this hurts but you have to move on. He he might not
come back and you have to accept that. You have a lot of wonderful things in
your life." Phoebe commented running her fingers threw Pipers long brown hair.
"I cant I I don't want to…." Piper said her eyes filling with tears. She
grabbed tightly onto the only shirt of Leo's she had. This became a habit
whenever her emotions got to much she would hold it. Almost like a security
blanket. It reminded her that he wasn't just a painful dream that she would
never see again.
"I know this is hard and painful now but things will get
better. It wont hurt as much as soon as you get your life back together." Piper
shook her head. She knew it would never get better. These feelings would never
disappear Phoebe nor Prue would never understand. She could hide away her
feelings and work herself to death of course. And that's what she would probably
end up doing. But at the moment she wasn't prepared to hide away her feelings.
Phoebe and Prue would just have to deal with that tell she was ready.
"No
nothing will ever get better. You don't understand Phoebe." Piper sighed rubbing
her red eyes. Phoebe didn't know how to counteract that. "I…. Just wanna be
alone." Piper whispered. Phoebe nodded and walked out of the room.
"GOD
DAMIT WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME! IM A GOOD PERSON!! AND A GOD DAM GOOD
WHITELIGHTER!!!! IVE WORKED FOR YOU FOR OVER 60 YEARS AND THIS IS HOW I AM
REPAYED!!" Leo screamed to the elders outraged. Although he already told Piper
it was ok for her to move on he knew he could never. His heart belong to her and
would be always with her no matter what. He would never give up without a fight.
And he was sure as hell not gonna make it easy for the elders.
"Leo you will
see this is for the best for both of you. If you stay together who knows what
you will do for each other." One of the elders explained.
"YOU YOU CANT JUST
DO THIS!!! ITS MY LIFE!" Leo exclaimed tears threatening to fall. He knew deep
down that this was all useless. The elders would never let him go back.
"We
can and will do what is best for the most powerful witches in the world. It just
won't work if you are with her. You have given us no choice but to resort to
this."
"DAMIT HOW DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO WORK IF THEY ARENT HAPPY!?! I MEAN
ALL YOU DO IS TAKE AND TAKE WITHOUT GIVING ANYTHING BACK! AND YOU EXPECT THEM TO
JUST GIVE AND GIVE?"
"Just let go of her."
"She is my soulmate
everything to me. There will never be another Piper and a part of me will never
let go. You can't make me change." He whispered knowing he couldn't.
"Stubborn whitelighter…" One of them muttered.
"Just go back to your
room we have no more time for this. You will not see her again and that's final.
Wait in your room tell we give you a new assignment."
"HA IM NOT WORKING FOR
YOU UNTEL I GO BACK! YES THIS WHITELIGHTER ISNT GOING TO HAVE ANY ASSIGNMENTS!
NOT AFTER WHAT YOUR DOING TO ME!" Leo exclaimed outraged that they would even
think he would help them.
"So be it." One of them said flicking their hand
towards Leo. He disappeared and reappeared in his whitelighter room.
"GOD HOW
CAN THEY DO THIS!" Leo yelled throwing his hands up in frustration. He took
whatever he could get his hands on and started throwing it around the room.
Trying to get lost in his anger maybe to relieve the pain a bit.
"What in
the hell!?!" Julie exclaimed as a lamp flow past her at the door. "LEO! Hurting
the appliances is not gonna help!" She replied grabbing onto his arms to
restrain him.
"LET GO OF ME!"
"Calm down for god sakes." She said
forcefully pushing him to sit down.
"I love her I I cant take this.." Leo
choked finally getting himself back under control.
"I know this sucks and
they have no right to do this….. But as much as I hate it and I know this is the
last thing you want to hear….. But I think you are going to have to prepare
yourself to the reality that this might not turn out happily ever after. That
you might not get back to Piper." Julie replied.
"I wish this was a fairy
tale you know. When everything is destined to be ok….. Where we live happily
ever after. It might take me forever but I will never give up." Leo answered
whipping away a tear that had escaped.
Julie nodded knowing that no one
would ever be able to change his mind.
"Leo I have to go. Will you be ok?"
Julie questioned wishing that the stupid elders weren't making her work. The
least they could do was give her a break to try and help Leo.
"Yeah go ahead
I'll be fine."
"Alright bye I love you." She kissed him on the forhead and
went to the door. "Leo don't do anything that I wouldn't do." She replied as she
orb out.
"Piper I wish I was with you." He sighed staring at the only
picture he had of her and him. They where so happy smiling and laughing. He
wished he could be in that moment of time and space again. He would give
anything for at least another day with his Piper.
"How yeah doing sweetie?"
Prue questioned as Piper came down the stairs. She looked horrible her eyes all
red and puffy.
"Ok." Piper muttered grabbing a cup of coffee.
"I was
thinking you know why don't we have a sister day?" Phoebe suggested. Prue sighed
knowing Piper was obviously not in a shopping mood and who could blame her. Prue
understood more than Phoebe that Piper would need time to get threw this.
"No
thanks I have to go to work." Piper replied grabbing her coat. She knew they
where trying to help but it just hurt too much. She didn't want help right now
all she wanted was to be left alone.
"You sure?" Phoebe questioned knowing
it was useless.
"Yeah I'll see you guys later." With that Piper walked out
of the manor.
"Oh Prue what are we going to do?" Phoebe questioned throwing
her hands up in the air.
"There really isn't anything you can do Phoebe. We
just have to give it time. You can't push these things. Piper just lost a huge
hunk of herself and now she's confused and alone." Prue explained.
"She's
not alone she has us." Phoebe replied.
"Alone in the sense of a lover
Pheeb's."
"I I just want my sister back." Phoebe sighed sitting heavily down
onto the chair.
"I know sweetie me two. But we can't rush this. Things will
get better." Prue replied kissing Pheeb's on the forehead. "Now we have to go or
I'm gonna be late." Prue said grabbing her car keys. Phoebe nodded grabbing her
book bag.
A few hours later Piper was burying herself in work at P3. She was
trying to go over the finical status of the club but the words kept blurring.
Probably from the lack of sleep Piper had had. She threw down her pen deciding
she needed a break. Tears welled up in her eyes as memories hit her like a ton
of bricks. Everywhere she turned something reminded her of Leo. Where they had
kissed, where they hugged, held each other, and even made love. Her head was
spinning as all these memories rushed threw her.
"I need to get out of her!"
Piper exclaimed rubbing her temples. She quickly grabbed her purse and ran out
of P3. Everything was just too hard in there she needed to be someplace where no
memories would haunt her.
Piper walked aimlessly along a busy street. People
passed hurriedly all around her. She took no notice to any of them though. Her
mind was a million miles away wishing she was with him. Wondering what he was
doing now and if he is ok? Tears trickled down her cheeks as the pain increased.
She hated herself not only had she lost Leo but now she was running away from
the memories. The one thing she should be treasuring with all her heart she was
running away from.
A glare of blue lights brought her out of her daze. Her
heart jumped as she looked behind her. But it plummeted down as she saw it was
only the refectltion of a street sign.
"Why does it hurt so much?" She
uttered wishing her pain would go away.
Piper gasped as she saw him yes Leo
a little ways down the road. Oh my god she mouthed running towards him.
"Leo!" She exclaimed trying to get him to slow down. When he didn't she
started running faster after him. "Leo." Piper gasped finally reaching him and
turning him around.
"Leo?" The man questioned. Piper felt like dying right
then and there. It wasn't Leo he had some of the same features but defiantly not
Leo.
"I'm sorry." She cried running away. "I can't take this."
Ohhhhhhhh
ohhhh
Oohh ohhhh
There are times
I swear I know you're here
I forget about my fears
Feelin you my dear
Watchin over me
My hope sees
What the future will bring
When you wrap your wings
And take me where you are
Where you and I will be together
Once
again, we'll be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And
you'll be smilin back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can be,
where you are
And I can see your face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased
Oh, how I see your star
Shinin down on me
And I'd do anything
If I could just, be right there where you are
Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin in
the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin back at me
(you'll be smilin back at me)
Only then will I be free
Then I will
be free, so take me where you are
"I'm I'm going crazy. When they took
Leo away they took everything. I I can't take it." Piper's legs started to move
as if they had a mind of their own. She didn't care where she was going she just
had to get away. Find any escape she could. Piper whipped back tears she knew
what she had to do. She knew the only way to end this pain. She walked slowly
out into the middle of the busy street. A car came crashing at her.
"I'm
sorry. I wanna be with him and this might be the only way" She muttered. The
driver caught site of Piper in the middle of the road. He slammed down onto his
breaks but it was to late. The car slammed into Pipers body. She didn't even
flinch at the forceful impact. Pain surrounded her, as she hit the ground hard.
Her eyes shut as the life drained from her body. Blackness then followed.
