What am I supposed
to do
With all these blues
Haunting me everywhere
No matter what I
do
Watching the candle flicker out
In the evening glow
I can't let
go
When will the night be over
I didn't mean to fall in love with
you
And baby there's a name
For what you put me through
It isn't love,
it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
Seen a lot of
broken hearts
Go sailing by
Phantom ships lost at sea
And one of them
is mine
Raising my glass
I sing a toast to the midnight sky
I
wonder why
The stars don't seem to guide me
I didn't mean to fall in
love with you
And baby there's a name
For what you put me through
It
isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
The
ghost of you and me
When will it set me free
I hear the voices
call
Following footsteps down the hall
Trying to save what's left
Of
my heart and soul
Watching the candle flicker out
In the evening
glow
I can't let go
When will the night be over
I didn't mean to
fall in love with you
And baby there's a name
For what you put me
through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and
me
"Can your life be that bad?" Leo barely heard the question. He turned
his head to see a woman sitting next to him. She looked to be around in her late
20's. Blonde hair gracefully hugged her shoulders. Her green eyes dazzled in the
dim light.
"You have no idea?" He muttered steadying the glass infront of
him.
"I'm a good listener." She replied moving over to be next to him. Leo
sighed he didn't want to talk. He didn't want to live.
"It's a long story."
Leo answered trying to get off the subject.
"I'm not going anywhere and by
the looks of it you aren't either. Your shouldn't drive after how many drinks
you must have choked down." She insisted.
"You don't give up do you." He
counteracted.
"Nope so you mine as well talk. You might fine you'll feel
better. And maybe things aren't as bad as they seem." She smiled warmly.
"I
doubt it will do any good but if it will get you off my back….. Short version my
life has gone to hell. I quite my job to be with this girl but turns out she is
seeing someone else. So I'm jobless, girlfriendless, no place to leave, no
money, and no identity." Leo replied his heart breaking as the words registered
in his mind again.
"Oh I'm sorry that is pretty bad." The woman answered.
She hadn't thought that things could get that bad.
"Yeah…" Leo uttered
returning his gaze back to his glass.
"Well I'll tell you one thing… Things
aren't going to get better by drinking your problems away. You have to move on
fix things." She suggested.
"I don't know how?" He replied honestly. How
where you suppose to start your life over from scratch. With no friends or
family to help guide you.
"I'll show you how if you want." She replied
standing up. Leo looked to her questionable? What did this stranger have to
offer him? "We should probably get out of here though." She explained. "What do
you have to lose?" Leo thought for a second. She was right he had nothing to
lose, nothing at all. So he mine as well try this he wanted to make the pain
stop. He stood up and followed her out the door. In search of a new life.
"Who are you?" Leo questioned as they walk along the main road.
"Oh god
how rude of me." The girl laughed. "Leticia I'm sorry I don't even know your
name."
"Leo. I don't understand why you even wanna talk nevermind help." Leo
stated as they turned off the main road. "I mean you didn't even know my name."
"Well I'm not really sure myself? I'm in a new place and kind of down. And
here your where sitting next to me. Looking utterly depressed and everything
wrong for me seemed so small. I could feel the pain radiating off you. And I
guess something told me that maybe I could help you." Leticia explained trying
to make sense of it herself. She had never really done anything like this. Leo
nodded he knew that feeling he had gotten it a lot as a whitelighter.
"Where
do you wanna go? My apartment or someplace else?" Leticia asked stopping. Leo
thought for a second a chill ran up his spine as the wind blew.
"Its getting
cold" He stated, "Mine as well go to your apartment." He replied as they started
to walk again.
"I live in that building over there." Leticia replied
pointing to across the street. They both crossed and went into the building.
Leticia searched her purse for her keys finally opening the door. "Sorry about
the mess. I'll be right back." She stated heading back into the apartment. Leo
waited for a few minutes tell she finally came back. "Sorry about that." Leticia
explained sitting down on the couch next to Leo.
"I can't help you with your
love. You're going to have to move on. But job wise maybe. What do you wanna be?
Or what do you like to do?" Leticia questioned.
"I'm not sure…. I umm I like
to help people…. And heal them…" Leo answered.
"A doctor?" Leticia
suggested.
"Yeah but I would have to go to collage."
"If your willing to
work for it I bet you could do it. In fact I'm actually going to school now to
be a doctor. I have a few ties at the university and I think I could get you
in." Leticia replied.
"But I have no money…." Leo pointed out knowing
collage costed big bucks.
"That won't be a problem just let me handle it. I
can get it so when your finished collage and have a steady paying job that you
can pay it off." Leticia replied. "We can get you an apartment and you can start
your life over again."
Leo smiled a bit at the thought of being able to help
people again.
"Alright lets get my life back together." Leo stated.
There
are so many reasons that I find to run to you
Cuz there's so little loving in
my life, now I'm away
And thinking about it I want things back how they used
to be
Cuz there is no way round it, nothing good comes easily
So much
between us and we both know that it's wrong
So I keep on waiting till I'm
back where I belong
Chorus
So here I am all by myself thinking of you
nobody else
There is a feeling inside and as hard as I try it just won't go
away
Are you finding it hard it all on your own
Having to face each night
alone
Knowing that you are the one with the love that I need
And I miss
you more each day
So many feelings emotions running away with me
Cus
it's you I believe in and I love that run so deep
So much between us and we
both know that it's wrong
Now I keep on waiting till I am back where I
belong
Back where I belong
So here I am all by myself thinking of you
nobody else
There is a feeling inside and as hard as I try it just won't go

Are you finding it hard it all on your own
Having to face each night

Knowing that you are the one with the love that I need
And I miss

Piper stood in the bathroom tears flowing from her eyes.
She stared down at the pregnancy test.
"No….." She muttered. The test had
come out positive. A few months ago she had slept with Jason. She just had
wanted to make the pain go away. Thinking making love might solve that problem.
All it had done was complicate things further. The next day Jason disappeared
from Piper's life. Apparently he had gotten what he had came for. And now this.
She was pregnant and clearly in no state of mind to raise a child. She slid to
the floor burying her head in her hands.
"How…. How did I get myself into
this mess?" She sobbed.
Oh oh.
It's
all about the way you're feeling deep in your heart
When she let you go.
I don't doubt you can't believe it, it tears you apart.
What you didn't
know, uh oh.
Someday you'll remember why you fell for her, why you said
goodbye.
Don't let your broken heart keep from ever mending
And miss out
on love that is never ending, yeah.
This could be your final heartbreak.
I could show you what good love takes.
Never say goodbye, never make you
cry.
Yeah, this could be your final heartbreak.
This could be. Your
final heart. Your final heartbreak.
I don't wanna take advantage or
maybe I do. (Maybe I do)
And I know it's true.
That I can hold on to the
damage, all of the hurt (all of the hurt)
That she did to you, baby.
You
need someone you can talk to, someone who feels the same
About everything
you do. And I could be the one to make you forget her.
I wanna be the one to
make you feel better, yeah.
This could be your final heartbreak.
I
could show you what good love takes.
Never say goodbye, never make you cry.
Yeah, this could be your final heartbreak.
I'll let you feel a love
so real, I'll let you know.
You will forget, she will regret letting you go.
Oh yeah.
I will not let you go.
This could be your final heartbreak.
(I could) I could show you what good love takes.
Never say goodbye,
never make you cry.
Yeah, this could be your final heart. Yeah, this could
be your final break.
This could be your final heartbreak
I could show
you what good love takes. (I will never say)
Never say goodbye, never make
you cry.
Yeah, this could be your final heartbreak.
This could be your
final heartbreak. Heartbreak.
I could show you what good love takes. (Never
say)
Never say goodbye, never make you cry.
Yeah, this could be your
final heartbreak.
Yeah, this could be your final heartbreak.
3 months
later
"Ok honey are you ready!?!" Leticia yelled threw the small apartment.
"Yes mommy I'm really hungry!" A six year old little girl came prancing into
the room.
"I know sweetie we didn't have to big a lunch. Oh darling you've
got something on your face go wash it off." Leticia replied pushing her daughter
gently towards the sink. The doorbell rang and Leticia went to answer it.
"Hey right on time." She said letting Leo in.
"Lweo!!" Maria exclaimed
jumping up into his arms.
"Hey there munchkin." Leo replied wrapping his
arms around her. "Geez you've gotten bigger."
"Since yesterday." Maria
giggled.
"Yep grown a whole inch while I was gone." Leo replied.
"Alright lets eat Leo and I have to get studying. Big exam tomorrow."
Leticia stated. Leo let Maria down and they went to the table. Dinner was spent
talking and laughing about everything, day's events and such. After dinner they
talked for a while and it got pretty late.
"Hunny it's past your big time.
We have already let you stay up to late. We really have to get study." Leticia
said to her daughter.
"But mommy I'm not tired. I wanna stay here with you
and Lweo. I will be quiet I promise." Maria begged. Leticia sighed knowing it
was going to be hard to get her daughter to bed.
"How about I go read you a
story than your mom and I will start studying." Leo suggested.
"Oh will you
read my favorite!" Maria exclaimed excitedly.
"Anything for you." Leo
replied. Maria started jumping up and down. "Go get ready for bed I'll be right
in." Maria nodded hurrying into her room.
"You don't mind?" Leticia asked.
"Of course not." Leo replied.
"Leo Leo ready." Maria exclaimed from her
doorway.
"I'm coming…. We can study after she goes to bed." Leo explained
getting up and heading into Maria's room. Leticia sighed she had the weirdest
feeling inside her. She stood at the doorway watching them together. Leticia had
dated a lot since Maria's father left them. But Maria had never warmed up to
someone as she did Leo. Flutters ran threw Leticia's stomach. She realized she
was falling hard for Leo. If only he wasn't so hurt so much inside. She knew he
was on his way to getting better. He had an apartment now and was doing great in
collage. But whoever he was with before had really killed him. "She's sleeping."
Leo whispered running his hands throw her hair.
"Hmmm that didn't take
long…. Guess she was tired." Leticia whispered back looking at her angel.
"We better go before she wakes up." Leo suggested quietly getting up. They
both go out of her room and sat on the couch. "We should probably start
studying."
"Yeah." Leticia answered getting out her notes. They studied for
a while but the words wouldn't stay on the page for Leticia. "Leo can I umm talk
to you….??"
"Yeah." Leo put down the book and faced her. "You've been
distracted all night. I've been waiting for you to start talking."
"I ummm
don't really know how to say this….. I think…. I'm falling in love…. With you."
Leticia blurted out locking her eyes on the ground. Leo stayed silent for a few
minutes trying to figure out what to say. He knew he wasn't ready to let go of
Piper.
"Leticia I like you a lot to. But but I'm still hurting inside and
I'm not ready to move on." Leo explained. Leticia moved closer to him and they
locked lips. She quickly pulled away realizing what she was doing.
"I'm so
sorry I I don't know what came over…." Leticia started but was stopped by Leo.
They kissed again this time more passionate. They started to talk of each
other's clothing but Leticia stopped them. "Are you sure?"
"Its time I moved
on. She already did." Leo replied as they went into the bedroom.
It's not the
time, It's not the place,
I am afraid
Ohhhh Its not the time, Its not
the place
I am afraid
Heeeey Its not the time, Its not the place
I am
afraid
Ohhhh Its not the time, Its not the place
I am afraid
They keep
telling me, I'm not alone.
They're all standing by me, but I am not my own.
This thing is growing like a cancer I must kill.
I am so confused, I
don't know what I feel
But Its not the time, Its not the place
I am
afraaaaaaaaid
Its not the time, its not the place
I am
afraaaaaaaaid
Its not the time, its not the place
I am
afraaaaaaaaid
Its not the time its not the place
I am adraaaaaaaid
I
refuse to believe this is a child.
It's not a person yet, it takes quite
awhile.
And guilt is great on my shoulders tonight.
Can someone please
tell me
What is wrong and what is right.
What is wrong and what is
right.
What is wrong and what is right
Its not the time, Its not the
place
I am afraaaaaaaaid
Its not the time, Its not the place
I am
afraaaaaaaaid
Its not the time, Its not the place
I am
afraaaaaaaaid
Its not the time, Its no the place
I am afraaaaaaaaid
But
I know it's life, I can't deny that it's life.
Oh is it life? Can I deny
this its life?
"Why did you wait so long to tell us sweetie?" Piper was
crying in Prue's arms. Prue ran her fingers threw Pipers long hair.
"Prue I
don't want it to be true!" Piper exclaimed threw her sobs. She didn't want this
child. "Its not mine I don't want it get it out of me!" She yelled. Prue held
onto her tightly.
"Hunny you have to have this child. Its to late to do
anything about it." Prue explained. She knew what the doctor would say.
"Prue I I cant do this I don't want this!" Piper sobbed burying her head
into Prue's shoulder. She didn't want anything to do with with this thing
growing inside her.
"Oh sweetie." Prue didn't know what to say. Piper was
stuck she had to have this child. But she knew Piper didn't have to keep it. "If
you don't want the baby once it is burn you don't have to keep it." Prue soothed
knowing that wouldn't help to much.
"Prue just get it out! Just get it out!"
Piper cried. Prue was so confused she didn't know how to help her sister.
"Everything will turn out ok." Prue whispered. Piper cried some more tell
she finally fell asleep. "I hope."
