Chapter 24
Manor-Early Morning
Paige and Phoebe are eating breafast. Chris orbs in.
"Hey Chris,"said Phoebe.
"Hey." Chris walked to the refridgerator and pulled out some orange juice. "I was thinking that I could show you two more of my memories. One from earlier and the one where I try....I try....to commit suicide."
Paige gasped. "That's terrible Chris,"she said.
"I just want you to know that I was very very very depressed. I had no friends and spent the whole day sleeping."
"Why?"
"Why was I depressed?"
Paige nodded.
Chris shrugged.
"Leo was never there for you,"answered Phoebe before he could. "You felt like Leo didn't love you."
Paige stared at Phoebe who shrugged. "I was guessing. I may not have my empath powers, but I'm still an advice giver."
"You're right though,"said Chris. "So I'll show you my memory of when I am 6. It's 4 years earlier, when the problems began." While Chris started to glow, he wondered if he was acting 'humble' with his powers.
Paige and Phoebe looked around. They were in the manor kitchen. The younger Chris was eating lunch with Wyatt.
Leo walks in. "Hey you two,"he said.
"Hi Dad,"the replied together.
"Wyatt,"said Leo,"we're going 'Up There' today."
"But Dad,"said Chris,"you promised to go with me to the park."
Leo ruffled Chris' hair. "I'll take you tomorrow,"he rpelied. "Something very important came up."
"Okay,"muttered Chris.
"Let's go Wyatt."
Chris sped it up to the next morning. The younger Chris was watching tv. He heard a sound and looked to see Leo with Piper holding hands.
"Aunt Paige'll look after you today,"said Leo.
"What about the park?"
Leo shrugged. "I'm going to spend the day with your mother today."
Chris sped it up to the next day. Young Chris was in his room. He was staring at the ceiling hoping Leo would take him to the park.
Leo rushed past and stopped in Chris' room. "I can't go today Chris,"he said,"I have to go help some charges."
"Whatever."
Chris glowed again. They were in the kitchen, in the past. "After a week,"he said slowly,"I stopped caring. All Leo did was make excuses so I didn't care."
"I can see why you hate him,"said Phoebe.
Chris shrugged. "I'm only going to forgive him if he shows me that he really cares,"said Chris.
"That's the spirit,"said Paige. "I want to see what else you were going to show us."
So Chris did. After the memory was over, Paige and Phoebe couldn't talk.
"I can't,"muttered Paige,"I can't believe that he didn't even care."
"Me neither,"agreed Phoebe.
Chris shrugged. "I'll show you the day after,"he said.
"What's so special about that day?"asked Paige.
"It's the day that I get help." Chris glowed. They were 'Up There.'
Thirteen-year-old Chris is looking around in amazement. "So this is what it looks like,"he muttered.
Paige put her hand on his shoulder. "I've been up here a lot since you were born. I still can't get over the fact how great it looks."
An Elder walked over to them. "Ahhh Paige,"he said,"I was expecting you. I -assume- that this is Chris?"
Paige nodded. "I'll let you take him for now,"she said. She winked at Chris. "I'll come back in a few hours." She orbed away.
The Elder led Chris on a walk. "So Paige tells us that you tried to take your life yesterday,"he said.
"Yes,"Chris mumbled to the floor.
"Why may I ask?"
Chris shrugged. "I don't feel loved,"he replied.
"By whom?"
"My dad."
"Oh. Leo."
"Yeah him."
"I'm sure that he does."
Chris sighed. "He doesn't. He hadn't talked to me at all yesterday. In fact, I hadn't had a decent conversation with him since I was six. It's when it all started. He ignored me. He still does."
The Elder put his hand on Chris' shoulder. "We will help you take away the pain,"he said. "The anger will stay, but you will feel no more pain."
"I'd love to feel no pain."
"That you will get."
Chris glowed and they were back in the past.
"Well at least you got help,"said Phoebe.
Chris smiled. "Thanks to you Aunt Paige,"he said.
"Your welcome."
"You helped too Aunt Phoebe. You got me a therapist. He helped me so much. Of course, the anger never went away."
"Your welcome."
Chris laughed. "We should make a few more potions,"he said. "Just to be safe." He walked to the attic.
Phoebe and Paige looked at each other and smiled. They were glad that Chris was such a great nephew
