Chapter 4
On pipers way to her car that day, as she crossed along the parking lot, a car stopped sharply in front of her, only about four feet from her legs. Piper jumped back frightened, and finally looked into the car. About three senior guys, and two girls- one of them driving the car, and the other is none other then Ally. She got out of the car quickly, and walked to piper, so that there were only a few inches between their noses.
Then Ally spoke; "You just don't get it do you?" she said in a slow voice, louder with every word.
Piper was very annoyed by all this. Her fright turned quickly into pure anger.
"Looks like perfect Ally is just not perfect enough for Leo..." piper said in a mocking voice, almost smiling. Ally's face went red with anger.
"You little whore! Why can't you just stay away with the other geeks?! Why do you have to butt in?!" Ally stopped for a moment, and then continues with a calmer voice.
"You know what, if asking nicely doesn't help in your pathetic case, ill try something different." She finished with a wide smile, and glanced back into her car, giving one of the guys a small nod.
He stepped out of the car, holding a baseball bat, then marched to piper's car, and started hitting it with full force.
Piper started to panic, and ran to his direction, determined to save her poor car, which is being destroyed in front of her eyes. She got a hold of the guy's shoulders, but he was way too strong for her, and spun around, sending piper to the ground, landing on her knees and hands.
Next she heard someone from Ally's car calling; "Come on man! Let's get out of here!"
The guy with the baseball bat ran back to Ally's car, and they drove away with a rore of laughter.
Piper set on her knees, when looked over at her car. She held her breath as she witnessed what happened with it; the front windshield was cracked into small peaces. She could tell that he had time to hit it 4 times by the horrible marks that were left.
Piper berried her head in her hands, and tears started streaming down her cheeks. This was a disaster... there was no way she can pay for fixing the car; they hardly had enough money for Grams's visits to the doctor and the medications.
After sitting like that for about 10 long and tearful minutes, she heard someone running towards her, and Leo's voice calling; "Piper?" he called as he approached her.
He bent down to her, then looked up at the broken windshield of her car.
"Piper? What happened? Who did this??"
Piper just shook her head, trying to stop the tears and the sobbing but couldn't.
Leo took piper's hands, and removed them away from her face. Then he pulled her to her feet, and asked once more; "Who did this to your car piper?"
Piper took a deep breath, and finally answered; "I don't know... some guys... Robin I think."
"Robin Cherry?"
Piper nodded.
Leo looked closely at her, then pulled her into a comforting hug, which piper accepted thankfully.
"If I see that jerk I swear I will kill the bastered." Leo said angrily, looking at pipers car again, then asked; "Was he alone?"
Piper shook her head on Leo's shoulder, and said; "No... there were a few of them... Zach Martin I think, and Ally" she finally said.
"What?? Ally Thomson? The blond girl from Lunch?"
Piper nodded again. She hated that she was crying like this in front of Leo, but had to admit that hugging and leaning on his shoulder was quite satisfying.
Then Leo pulled away.
"Come on, I'll take you home in my car, or do you want to first go to the office and report them about this?" Leo asked.
"No... It's ok, ill do that tomorrow. Thanks."
Leo nodded, and led her to his car.
As they were driving, piper kept quite, and Leo kept looking at her with concern. She showed him where she lived, and as Leo parked the car next to her house, he asked;
"Will you be ok?"
Piper breathed out, and answered; "Yeah, I'll be fine. Can't say the same for my car though..."
Leo didn't laugh; he just kept looking at her, worry in his eyes.
"I'll be ok," piper reassured him, "Really, don't worry. Thanks for the ride, I appreciate it."
"Anytime." Leo said, and he leaned forward and gave piper a soft kiss on her cheek.
She blushed, and stepped out of the car, saying; "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Do you have a way to get to school?" Leo asked and she started climbing the stares.
"I'll have my sister Prue take me and Phoebe. Thanks for the concern." She said as she turned back to him.
Leo flashed another of his charming smiles, and pulled out, then disappeared down the street, Piper stared at the car as it got further and further away till it was out of her sight, and headed to the door.
She walked in, and dropped her bag carelessly on the floor, then continued to the kitchen where Grams was.
"Hello darling!"
"Hi." Piper said, and set miserably on a chair next to the kitchen table".
"You had a good day piper?" grams asked, obviously noticing something is wrong.
"hardly." Piper mumbled, then explained; "Some jerks at school completely shattered the front windshield of my car."
Grams covered her mouth with her hands, and set next to Piper on a chair.
"Good god! Are you ok though??"
"Fine" piper answered.
"And the car?" Grams had to ask.
"It's parked at school. I'll go to the school office tomorrow morning about what happened".
After a moment of thinking, Grams suddenly smiled for some reason.
"What?" piper asked, as grams stared at her.
"Well, I saw that boy who brought you here... who is he?" grams kept smiling.
"Oh... that's Leo. A friend."
"Just a friend?" grams asked disappointed.
"Yes grams, JUST a friend".
Grams didn't seem convinced.
"He looked like more then a friend to me..."
"Oh grams! This is no time to try to mach me up with guys!" piper exclaimed.
"Yes, you are right darling, sorry. Where is phoebe?"
"She said her boyfriend -what's his name?- Is taking her home today."
"Oh, ok." Grams said, and looked closely at piper, then continued; "Listen, darling, you don't look all that well. Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap?"
"I think I'll do that." Piper said, and got up. "And you should to... I bet you were on your feet all day."
Grams waved her off, and piper decided there is no point to insist, and headed upstairs to her room.
let me know what you guys think of it, and thanks for those who replied.
