Chapter 5
Leo
Piper had been gone a long time, and I didn't feel jealous or over protective, it's just that, well I was worried. I excused myself and walked down the hallway. I noticed that the door to the roof of the building was open. I quietly snuck in and crept up the old wooden stairs that were there. As my head became level with the open door, I saw a scene that made my heart stop. Piper had her back to the edge of the roof and Dan was pointing a gun at her. Four immediate words popped into my head. I love you Piper. I shook myself mentally. I was going to tell Piper while she was alive, don't think it now. Tell her later. Now, I had to plan.
Suddenly I heard Dan's voice, quiet and silky, quite unlike his usual booming. "Piper, either you break it off with that Leo guy and go out with me, or else if I can't have you, no one will. I'll kill you if you don't go out with me." My throat seized up. This was all my fault. Piper started trembling. I carefully snuck up onto the landing without Dan noticing me. I crept over behind a group of large barrels. Piper was crying. I peeked again. Dan was standing over Piper unbuttoning her shirt and kissing her forcefully. Piper tried to push him off her but stopped when he held the gun up to her head. A blaze of anger rushed through me. No, not a blaze. More like a forest fire.
Dan was about to take off Piper's bra when I whacked him over the head with a lead pipe. He fell to the ground unconscious and Piper immediately fainted. I whacked Dan again; to make sure he was out cold and hid his gun in one of the barrels. I didn't touch it with my hands, only a edge of my shirt. I ran back over to Piper and placed her head in my lap. I stroked her hair and spoke to her. "I love you Piper. I was so scared when I came up and saw you sitting there, being threatened. Then when he started to kiss you, god. It's all my fault. I'm sorry Piper."
I heard echoing footsteps coming up the stairwell and there appeared Prue, Phoebe, Andy, Luke, Louis and Mr. Defranso. Prue and Phoebe rushed over to Piper and me. Phoebe pulled smelling salts out of her pocket and I stared. She shrugged sheepishly. "Piper faints at quite a lot of things, so it's just easier to keep a few around." Phoebe worked on waking Piper up and then Luke, Louis and Mr. Defranso came over to question me. Prue was staring at Piper's limp body and couldn't seem to do anything. Andy stood next to her, comforting her.
I told the principal all I saw and knew. When I got to the part about Dan and him beginning to rape Piper, Prue took a deep shuddering breath and Phoebe sobbed. Luke and Louis' eyes widened but they didn't say anything. When I was done I heard Piper's voice and I turned and rushed over to her. She smiled at the sight of me and said, "I heard you Leo, while I was out, I heard you. I love you too." I was bursting with joy and I lifted her up in my arms and held tight.
Piper
I told Leo that I loved him back and I saw a huge smile and felt his strong arms wrap around me. I felt so safe until I heard a few moans from a pile that looked like Dan beside me. I trembled and Leo lifted me up and moved me a few paces away from the large mound that was groaning. Dan slowly stood up and his eyes moved from Prue and Andy to Phoebe and Leo, who all stood in front of me, protectively until Mr. Defranso stepped forward and latched his iron grip hand onto Dan's shoulder and called for an officer.
Apparently, the police had just arrived. Dan was led to a police car and locked in the back, but before his head disappeared he shouted, "If I can't have her no one will!" then his head was stuffed in the car and his shout's echo disappeared. We were led back inside to the principal's office. Again Leo was questioned, but this time I was forced to answer too.
