Disclaimer: Okay, I'll say once more for those of you who are stupid enough
to think that I have anything whatsoever to do with Charmed. I do not own
Charmed, or anything else you may recognise. All Charmed characters or
whatever else seems familiar belong to Spelling TV (or whatever the
company's called) and the WB. I do not own the song lyrics either-they
belong to Oasis.
A/N: Thank you to Chub, Piper15 and iheartgreenday for reviewing. Reviews make me happy; reviews can even help me write more, c'mon ppl I need to know what y'all think! And I really like the idea of having part of a song, so if you have any ideas tell me, I'm thinkin' of using Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles at some point, what do y'all think? Also I'm not sure on how well this song fits the chapter, but I added it a day after writing it, and I can't really think of one, I wanted something to do with love and that and how she has something to tell him, blah, blah, blah. So if you think of a better one let me know the title and artist, Ta. (It was either gonna be Wonderwall (which it is) or I want you to want me (Cheap tricks.))
I'm also gonna make this a P/L chapter so I'm just gonna say that Mr. Smith had been called away or left Leo on his own now, Ok? Cuz I really can't be bothered to put him in it, cuz then it'd be real weird, actually it would just mean I'd have to come up with some excuse for him to go away, which I really can't be bothered to do!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And all the roads that lead to you are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
'Oh God, oh God, oh God! He doesn't know who I am, why not? How come Leo, my Leo doesn't know me, he doesn't even recognise me. AAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH! How the hell am I supposed to live knowing that we've seen each other, but my own husband doesn't even have a clue, about me, about the 3 wonderful years we spent together? HOW?' Piper Halliwell mentally screams at herself-it's actually quite ironic she's in a mental home, but doesn't need it, yet if Leo doesn't even have a flamin' clue who she is she's going to need it then.
"Uhhh, my name is Leo, yes." Leo says looking puzzled; 'OK this is scary, how the hell does this woman know who I am? She somehow seems familiar but I'm sure I'd remember her face if I'd met her before, who wouldn't?' This was so weird this incredibly beautiful woman standing before Leo, completely freaked him out, but at the same time he was filled with curiosity. Leo looked into her eyes, they were enchanting and seemed to be filled with love and an enormous amount of pain; little did he know that all of this was because of him. This was annoying him now, he was just gonna have to ask her how she knows who he is.
"How do you know who I am? And why are you looking at me like that?"
"Damnit!" Piper turned and walked back over to her window and running her hands through her hair, like she always did when she was upset said, "Leo, how could I not know who you were. I know you're not gonna believe this, but I swear, on my life, on my sisters' lives, on the graves' of Melinda Warren, my mother, grandmother and my sister, Prue; that everything I'm about to tell you is true." Piper stopped how was she going to tell this man that this life wasn't real, in reality they'd been in love for years, in fact they'd been married, and even now, even though he doesn't have a clue about who in hell she is, that she still thinks about him every freakin' day?
Leo just stared at her, she'd just mentioned a lot of people, she must be serious-but what was this serious about telling him about how she knows him. 'It can't seriously be that hard or serious, could it?' Leo thought. Somehow he knew that whatever this Piper person was going to say, he should trust her, he should believe her, but he still didn't know who she was or what she was going to say. Leo continued to look at her;
"What, What won't I believe?" Leo asks growing desperate.
"You're so not going to believe me Leo Wyatt." Piper muttered under her breath,
"You're going to think I'm crazy. But you probably already think I am-I mean why would I be in here if I wasn't crazy? I don't even know the answer to that, but Leo the truth is, the truth is." Piper pauses to breathe.
"The truth is that this isn't real, none of it is, I'm not crazy, this place isn't a mental hospital, this place is my home, our home, and you're not a doctor! In reality, we're in love, we're even married. That's how I know you, that's why I was looking at you like that. I was looking at you because I love you, I always have, always will. But I. we. the whole world's been living like this for months. I haven't seen you for months, and there hasn't been a minute when I haven't thought about you. Do you have any idea what it's like to live in a world where everything's changed and not even your husband knows who you are? No, I don't suppose you do, because you still don't have a freakin' clue. Damnit Leo! You don't have a clue, do you? You don't know who I am, you don't even know who you really are, but I do! I'm the only one and I don't get it. You don't remember anything at all do you? You don't remember anything, nothing we've battled in the past few years, none of the demons or warlocks! I know I've said time and time again that I wanted a normal life, but Leo I don't, not if this is the normal life I get. A life without my sisters, a life without my lover. Leo, I don't know what to do anymore, I don't have the energy to go on. I just can't at least not without you, but what point is that, because you don't remember me, us any of the times, none of the good ones or the bad. God damnit, Leo, I just don't know how to go on!" By now Piper had broken down and was kneeling on the floor crying her eyes out, all she wanted was for Leo to hold her, to tell her it was all a dream and that it was all going to be okay. But he wouldn't because he didn't have a clue.
Piper realised that everything that she had just said was totally true. She had missed him so much, but now that he was here and he didn't have a clue; she didn't know what to do and to be honest she really didn't have a clue, she knew she'd loved Leo forever, but she never knew that her love had become so strong, it had taken over her, over her life. If she couldn't have Leo then her life really wasn't worth much. She loved Leo so much and just looking at him was too painful because she knew deep down that he really didn't remember, and God it hurt so much, it hurt more than she could ever say with all the words in the world.
The whole time that Piper was pouring her heart out, Leo had just stood there watching her, trying to take it in. Anyone would think that she was mad, absolutely mad, even he did. Or at least he wanted to, he couldn't bear to think that if this was true, any part of it was true, how much pain she was in. What was worse was that he knew that the reason she hurt so much was because of him. He couldn't help it; he wanted this so much to be a dream, that what she said was a load of crap, but there was something inside of him telling him that it wasn't all a lie, that it was all true, at least some of it was. It tore Leo up to see this beautiful woman crying because of him, all he wanted to do was to make her pain go away, but he didn't know why he felt like this, and he didn't know how to make her pain go away. So he did what his instincts told him to do, he walked over to her, he would attempt to comfort her.
"Piper.I.I don't know what to say-I don't know what to think. Part of me wants all of this to just be a dream, that none of what you said was true, it would be easier that way, but, I don't know..... I suppose that part of me believes you, or wants to believe part of what you said. And this scares me, to see you in pain and I know it's because of me. And it scares me because I really don't have a clue, I don't know anything about you and I don't remember; and it scares me because for some reason I want to, I want to remember, I want to believe you, I want to tell you that everything's all going to be okay, but I don't know how to." Leo says as he crouches down to look at Piper.
Piper just looks up and gazes into Leo's eyes, and thinks 'He always was so sweet, he doesn't remember me, but part of him wants to believe me and he cares. At least that's a start.' Piper sighs and smiles. She almost feels like her old self, being next to Leo, staring into his eyes, but its not the same he doesn't love her, he doesn't remember, he probably just feels sorry for her, or so she thinks. Piper looks back down at the ground, "I just want you back Leo!" Piper mutters under her breath.
Leo watches her and wonders what's going through her mind, somehow though just by looking into her eyes he knows she's thinking about him. Leo reaches out for Piper's arms and pulls her into a hug, stroking her hair he says,
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Piper! I wish I could make all your pain go away. I bet you want to get out of here don't you?"
Piper looks up and nods, "You have no idea, how much I want to get out of here. I keep trying to tell them that I'm fine. Do you really believe that I'm okay?"
"Yeah, I just think your missing someone or something from your life, and the fact that they don't listen probably doesn't help either. I promise I will help you get out of here, if it's the last thing I do here, I'll help get you out." There was no denying it, he always wanted to help people, but he'd never wanted to help anyone as much as he wanted to help Piper; and this her being in his arms it felt so natural, so right. It made him wonder, if what she had said really was true.
"Thank you." Piper said, he had no idea how she felt to be held in his arms again, she didn't want to let go, ever. But she knew she'd have to and soon, she was ready to pull away when Leo leaned in to kiss her, she didn't even realise what was happening until she was kissing him back; they were kissing as if nothing had happened, as if nothing mattered, as if they were the only people on Earth.
"I. I'm sorry." Leo said pulling away and standing up; he'd just had this overwhelming desire to kiss her.
"Don't be." Piper said with a smile spreading across her face.
'Oh God, why does she have to be so beautiful?' Leo asked himself, as the sun danced across her face, even if she'd been crying she did look amazing. He pulled her into another hug and whispered, "I'm sorry, I have to go, but I'll be back soon. They'll probably be getting suspicious; I've been in here for ages." He smiled and kissed her forehead, as he turned to leave Piper grabbed his arm.
"You promise you'll be back?"
"I swear. I'll be back as soon as I can, and I'll get someone to come and check on you." Leo responded, winking at her, and with that he left, to continue his rounds. He only hoped that they wouldn't notice he'd been gone so long or that he hadn't given Piper her medicine.
Piper was so happy; she went and lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking of Leo. "I can't believe it. He's back; he's really back, or almost, but it's good enough for me!"
With Leo it was a different story, when he got back downstairs, one of the other hospital employees asked why he hadn't given Ms. Halliwell her medicine, he simply replied;
"I didn't think she needed it. She seemed fine to me. You can go and check for yourself, but I don't even see why she's in here. I had a perfectly normal conversation and even when I questioned her, she seemed 100 % normal." And so with that the hospital employee went off to check on Piper, just as Leo had wanted her to. With any luck, Piper would get discharged soon, and he could take her back to his apartment, and they would be both be happy. He hadn't even thought about it until now, but he decided that if she was discharged she wouldn't have anywhere to go, but he instantly knew that he'd love to have her stay with him. And if he knew what he was feeling, he was beginning to fall hard and fast; that was one of the only things he knew, he was falling for this girl, and he was happy. Happier than he'd been in years. He secretly smiled and got back to work.
