"A divorce?" Leo finally choked out. Piper didn't want to make things work after all. She really was in love with Cole. She didn't love him anymore. The pain and anguish rolled over Leo in waves.
"You want a divorce? Piper we are soul mates, we are meant to be together. I love you. I love you more than anything in this world. I will raise your baby like he was mine. I will treat you like a princess, I will clip my wings, Piper I will do anything, but please don't do this." Leo begged, tears rolling down his face.
Piper was shocked. She thought Leo was with Holly. She thought he was happy. What was this? "Leo, you don't mean all that. You have Holly now." she said softly, tears falling down her face.
"Piper, I broke it off with Holly, I realized I only love you." Leo jumped out of his chair and reached down and grabbed her hand. "Please Piper, try this again. Give us a second chance, don't break my heart."
"Leo, I am so sorry. I don't want to hurt you. I am having a baby with Cole now." Piper said, standing up with him.
Leo interrupted her. "I'll raise the baby, don't worry about it"
"Leo, I love Cole. I want to raise our baby with him. I am sorry you feel this way. Please, understand that I want to be happy. Leo, I will always love you. You are an incredible person, and I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for you. Please Leo, let me have the divorce, it's best for both of us." Piper pleaded.
"Damn it Piper! Don't tell me what is best for us. What's best for me is to be with you. To hold you for eternity. You don't understand how much I love you." Leo yelled.
"Leo! Stop! Okay, just stop! Please don't do this. Don't make things harder than they have to be. When you came back from training Holly you were fine with us separating. I don't know what all has changed, or why you left Holly, but please understand, I love Cole. I love our baby, and I want to be with him now." Piper felt bad, she knew she was being hurtful saying these things to Leo. But she didn't know how else to make him understand.
Leo felt his heart breaking. He looked at Piper. Tears were rolling down her face, she was shaking with emotion. Leo felt his heart swell up with love for her. He closed the distance between them fast.
Leo grabbed her by the waist and pressed his lips to hers. He moaned, Piper's lips felt incredible. He had missed them so much.
Piper was shocked. Leo was kissing her. She reached up between them and pushed at his chest. When his mouth left hers, she started yelling. "LEO! How could you! Don't ever do that again! It is over Leo, over. I don't love you like that anymore. You can't kiss me anymore." she said.
"Piper, I want you. I need you." Leo begged, reaching out to touch her.
"Leo, stop! Are you crazy? Your not acting like yourself Leo. Maybe you should go calm down, and we will talk about this later." Piper turned from him to go up the stairs.
Leo reached out and grabbed her arm, spinning her back around and into his arms. "Don't leave me sweet Piper." he whispered, leaning down to kiss her again.
Piper reached up and slapped him. "Leo, don't do this to me. Don't do this to yourself." she said softly.
Leo grabbed his cheek. My god, was he that desperate for her that he was begging. Leo sighed, he had promised himself he wouldn't do that to her. He didn't know what had gotten into himself. He sat back down at the table.
"Piper, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for all of that to happen. I didn't mean to hurt you. This just hurts so much, and it's hard to keep myself in check." Leo said softly.
Piper sat back down across from him. "I'm sorry I slapped you Leo. You were scaring me. I understand that this hurts Leo. It hurts me. But its for the best, and someday you will be happier because of this. Please, just do this for us."
Leo looked in her eyes. He knew she wanted this. He knew she wanted to be with Cole. Leo just couldn't picture that though. "I can't Piper. I can't give you up." he told her. Leo stood up and orbed out before she could answer him.
"Leo! Damn it! Get back here!" Piper screamed. Leo wouldn't give her the divorce. What was she going to do to talk him into it. Damn it, he couldn't do this to her.
Piper slammed the door to the club as she left. She was shaking with anger. Piper picked up her cell phone. She dialed the manor.
"Hello" Paige picked up.
"Paige, it's me. I'm getting ready to leave the club, can I come over? I need to vent and get help with something." Piper asked her sister.
"Sure! I'll make some tea." Paige answered.
Piper hung up and got in her car. She couldn't believe Leo would do this. Why couldn't he just give her the damn divorce. What was Cole going to think of this? Piper knew she was going to have to let Leo know that this wasn't going to be put off anymore.
She peeled out of the parking lot still thinking about Leo. Piper was so lost in her anger, she didn't notice the truck coming at the drivers side as she pulled out. The last thing she heard was the shattering glass and the crunching metal.
