//recap//

Leo smiled to himself as they headed back to Cole's apartment.

//end recap//

The next morning when Leo woke up, the first thing he noticed was Cole's arm wrapped around his bare waist. He didn't want to move, something about being with Cole. it felt so right. But he had to, he had to go and see Piper. He attempted to break Cole's grip on him, but no such luck. He rolled over and gently rocked Cole to consciousness, though he wouldn't open his eyes.

Leo: Cole? Come on, let me up

Cole: No.

He tightened his grip on Leo

Cole: Please just lay here with me.

Leo sighed

Leo: Okay.

He really needed to go see Piper. She had taken it worse than he had ever expected her to. He lay his head back down on the soft, white pillow attempting to recollect the events that had taken place in the last week. He remembered the battle with Yuki and how difficult it had been. He remembered the club, and the other man. Leo had only just admitted his feelings for Cole a week ago, and broken up his wife the night before. He had been a straight man all his life, now this. He wasn't ready for gay sex yet. Cole was, that was obvious to him. Leo was scared of it, he didn't know what to expect in it. He was more afraid of losing Cole though. Even though Leo knew it was unusual for 'love at first sight' He had always on some level loved Cole.

//several hours later//

Cole got up, freeing Leo from his arm prison. His first course of action was to orb over to see Piper and make sure she was okay. He found himself on the second floor of the manor. He looked around and didn't see her anywhere. Then he heard a sound coming from the attic. It sounded like someone was hitting their head repeatedly against the hollow wood. He walked up the stairs and seen piper, her arms crossed, rocking back and forth, hitting her head against the wall.

Leo: Have you been doing this all night?

She jerked her head up, and noticed him for the first time. She had been deep in though while he walked up the stairs. She fumbled around on the floor before finding what he had been looking for. She pointed a gun right at Leo's head.

Piper: Don't move. come back to me, to me and the baby. We'll pretend this never happened

Leo looked at her with pity.

Leo: I can't do that

He bent down and took her hand

Leo: I would love to heal all your pain, but I can't do that for you. A white lighter's power only goes skin deep. Time will heal your wounds. I'm so sorry.

Piper pointed the gun at him again

Piper: I'll kill you, I swear to God I'll kill you then I'll kill myself

Leo: If you kill yourself you'll go to hell

Piper: Then I'll meet you there

She pointed the gun at her temple and pulled the trigger. Blood sprayed the window. Her body fell to the floor, a puddle of blood forming under her. Leo fell to the floor in anguish. He put his hands over her and tried desperately to heal her.

Leo: I can't heal the dead.

He whispered. He stood up, desperately fighting back the tears that refused to be silenced. He orbed back to Cole's apartment. Cole had fallen asleep on the couch. Leo wanted to talk to someone, and since he doubted Paige and Phoebe would want him alive anymore, he gently shook Cole awake.

Leo: Cole?

Cole: Leo.what's wrong?

Leo (voice breaking): P-Pipers dead. sh-she killed herself be-because of. me.

Leo started to sob uncontrollably, Cole sat up and motioned for Leo to sit down next to him. Leo sat down and buried his face in Cole's bare chest. All the pain he ever had to go through was nothing compared to this. He felt empty, abandoned and alone.

Cole: The pain will fade with time.

His words only made Leo cry harder. He wanted to look up and see Cole, but he couldn't. Suddenly, as though reading his thoughts, Cole put his hand under Leo's Chin and lifted his face up to his. Leo looked into his eyes, so full of concern, the tears stopped falling and the pain began to fade. Leo leaned up and kissed Cole.

Leo: When I'm with you, the pain stops

Cole just smiled and held him.

Silver: There now. your in for a few surprises regarding Leo and Cole's relationship! And not all are good!

Julian: Yes! May darling Cole! You will yet be mine!

Silver: You do know 'Cole' isn't the actors real name don't you?

Julian: LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Silver: o_O right. well R+R I promise I'll use your idea's (or at least the good one's!)

Julian: LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!

Silver: :::Smacks Julian::: BYE!
