Chapter 16: Waking the dead
Piper curled herself into the fetal position and rested her head on her knees. She cried to herself, not wanting Paige or anyone to feel sorry for her, and finally she cried herself to sleep. Not too long after Piper fell asleep, Leo came in to check on her. He knocked on the door and when no one answered, he opened the door and walked in.
"I am so sorry, Piper." Leo said, not really trying to say it to her because he knew she was sleeping, so he said it quietly, but Piper woke up immediately. She blinked her eyes once and looked up at him. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and she had tearstains all down her face.
"I never thought it would turn out like this." Leo said, still standing in the doorway afraid that if he moved any closer that Piper might blow him up. "I'm sorry."
"Why should I forgive you, Leo?" Piper said, tears spilling over her eyelashes again and she didn't even notice.
"Because I love you, and I'm and sincerely sorry." Leo replied. Piper didn't reply, which was good because it meant that she wasn't shoving his words back into his face, but it also meant that she wasn't forgiving him.
Piper shook her head and looked up at Leo. "I love you, You know that." Piper said finally.
"Then why wont you forgive me, Piper? I am truly sorry and I promise you that I will never keep anything about my past from you ever again, and I tell you honestly that there is nothing else." Leo said, taking one step closer to Piper.
When she didn't react, He walked over and stood next to her chair. Piper's eyes followed him the whole way, but didn't show any signs that she was feeling anything.
"It's going to take time, Leo." Piper said, pulling herself back into a ball and hugging her knees to her chest. She put her head over her arms so that it wasn't possible to see any of her face.
"Piper, honey," Leo said, but Piper didn't move. Leo kissed the top of her head, walking out of the room taking that as a sign that she wanted to be alone.

After Paige scribbled down all of the ingredients onto a piece of paper, rather sloppily, she decided to walk into Piper's bedroom to see if Piper was feeling up to helping her with the potion. Paige wasn't the best at making potions and for all she knew, she could turn Phoebe into a pig! When Paige got to Piper's door, she saw Leo walking out, looking incredibly hurt.
"What did you do, Leo?" Paige said as she looked into the room to see Piper in a ball, most likely crying to herself.
"I asked her to forgive me." Leo replied, staring at the ground.
"And.?" Paige asked, putting her hand on Leo's chin and pulling his head up so he was looking into her eyes.
"She said that it would take time, and then she curled herself into a ball and. I just. I am sorry." Leo said, looking down at the ground again.
"I know that, Leo. Piper loves you, I can see it in her eyes, but you hurt her really bad. Give her time and soon she'll forgive you." Paige looked at Leo. "I'll talk to her, Leo." Paige said, walking into the bedroom.
"Piper, are you okay?" Paige asked, walking over and sitting on the chair's arm rest. She gently rubbed Piper's back in small circles and waited for a reply. "Leo loves you, Piper. He only wants you to be happy."
At this Piper looked up, her eyes filled with anger and hurt, but there was love in them too. "Yeah, and he's just doing a great job of that, now isn't he!?" She started to cry again, but that didn't stop her from talking. "He should have known that I would react this way! He shouldn't have kept it from me! I want to forgive him. You know that I love him, but this is just." Piper took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but she was still shaking violently. ".too much" Piper finished quietly.
Paige managed a comforting smile and hugged her big sister. "Do you want to help me with the potion?" Paige asked, holding out the paper with the ingredients on it. Piper snatched the paper away from Paige and said, "well that's easy!"
"To you, Ms. Chef!" Paige said, "So will you help me? I don't want to accidentally turn Phoebe into an animal or something." Piper nodded and got out of the chair. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hands and followed Paige into the kitchen.
Together, Piper and Paige managed to make a bright orange potion, which was boiling. Paige grabbed a small container that mothers use to squirt medicine into small children's mouths, and decided that it would work for an unconscious Phoebe. Paige poured a small amount of the potion into the container and closed it. Piper nodded her head and tilted it towards the door. Piper then led Paige into the room where Phoebe was still unconscious on the couch, and knelt down next to her. Paige carefully squirted the potion into Phoebe's mouth and waited the results.
"I'm sorry about this Piper, but we need to call Leo to heal her." Paige said. Piper rolled her eyes, but reluctantly nodded her head.
"If you must." Piper said.
"Leo!" Paige called. Leo appeared next to Piper and put an arm on her shoulder. She shook it off. Leo held on of his hands over Phoebe's head and the other one over her chest. When Phoebe started to come to, he took his hands away and put them on Piper's shoulders.
He turned her to face him and said to her, looking straight into her eyes and said, "I really am sorry." Piper turned away as her chin started quivering. By the time her eyes got over to Phoebe, new tears were flowing down her cheeks.
Phoebe became completely aware of what was going on, and looked at Piper, confused.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Phoebe asked, grabbing Piper's hand.
"Why don't you ask HIM!?" Piper screamed and ran out of the room. Phoebe looked shocked, obviously had no clue what was going on and turned towards Leo. She saw the same pain in his eyes as she saw in Piper's.
"So, What happened?" Phoebe asked looking back and forth between Paige and Leo. Leo told Paige to tell her and he walked into the kitchen.
Paige relayed everything that Piper had told her to Phoebe, and instantly Phoebe felt a wave of sympathy for both Piper and Leo wash over her.
"I'm gonna go talk to her." Phoebe said, standing up. She walked over to the stairs, half expecting Paige to object and say, 'no, she needs to be alone,' but she didn't, so Phoebe kept walking until she got to Piper's room.
Phoebe opened the door and found Piper lying face down on her bed, shaking uncontrollably as she cried. Phoebe walked over to her sister and sat down next to her.
"Paige told me what happened, sweetie." Phoebe said. "And that is actually what I saw in my vision." Piper didn't move. She didn't do anything at all to show that she even knew that Phoebe was talking. After a few minutes of silence, Piper rolled over and sat up. She looked towards the heavens, mostly trying to blink back tears, but also trying to get Prue to come. She knew that it was unlikely considering Prue hasn't been allowed to come ever before, but she thought it was worth a chance. Phoebe knew what she was thinking somehow, and put an arm around Piper.
"I know I'm not Prue, honey." Phoebe said, "But I'm here for you, and I'll do whatever you want me to."
"I know, but I. I just want my big sister here to help me through." Piper said, "It sucks being the oldest, you know"
"I have an idea." Phoebe said, walking out of the room. "I'll be back in a second."
A/N: To all of you who think I am demanding reviews, I wasn't. I was just trying to see if anyone was actually reading my story, and I do like writing. I love writing, but it seems pointless to me to post my stories on fanficiton if no one is going to read them, so I wanted to know if people actually were. Please review if you like it.
