Chapter 30

On monday, as Piper walked into school she couldn't help but notice everyone watching her (literally).

When she spotted Caitlin she pulled her friend somewhere out of people's sight.

"Piper! Hi! Um, I didn't think you would come..." Caitlin said, obviously trying not to look at Piper's bandaged forehead.

"I came. Listen, does anybody know about what happened? I didn't tell anyone but you." Piper said, glancing around to make sure she wasn't stared at anymore. She still was.

"Are you kidding? You're the talk of the school. Everyone knows." Caitlin said, and Piper's eyes widen.

"Great." Piper said despiratly.

"Ho no, don't get upset about it though... How are you doing anyway?" Caitlin asked, obviously changing the subject.

"Ok. I'm meeting my lawyer today."

"Really? Wow, this sounds serious. What did they do with Greg?"

"The police is keeping him somewhere. Let's not talk about it though, I've already had one too many conversations about this."

The day went by pretty smoothly considering all the curious glanses Piper got every time she looked up.

After school Prue came to pick her up, and Piper insisted that Leo didin't have to go to the lawyer's with them, until eventually Leo gave up and promised to wait for her at the manor.

"I heared he is good." Prue said in the car when they were about ten minutes away from the lawers.

"Ha?"

"I said I heared David Green was a good lawyer."

"Oh, ok. Good." Piper said, realizing that she has been quiet for a while which was probably why Prue was trying to make conversation.

When they reached the place Piper got out and looked up the tall building.

Once inside, they were told by Mr. Green's secretary that he is waiting for them, and Prue knocked on his door.

"Come in please!" They heard him call, and Prue opened the door for them both to step inside.

Mr. Green looked like a nice sensible man at a first glance, but there was something about him, the way his eyes smiled when they came in.

She shruged the thought off and walked in with her older sister on her side.

Mr. Green stood up to shake Piper's hand.

"Hello Piper." He said as he gently shook her hand.

"How did you know she was Piper?" Prue asked surprised.

"Lucky guess!" Green said a little too fast. Then turnd to take Prue's hand.

"I am guessing you are Prue then, we talked yesturday on the phone." Green said, his eyes never leave Piper.

"Thats right." Prue said.

"Please, do sit down." Green said, gesturing at the chairs in front of his desk.

The sisters took their seats.

"Mr. Green," Prue started.

"Call me David."

"Right, I just wanted to say we are very thankful that you are willing to help, and it did help a lot that you called us yourself and we didn't even have to look for a lawyer." Prue said.

"Don't thank me just yet." He said with a grin, then turned to Piper.

"I am truly sorry about what happened to you"

"Thank you." Piper mumbled.

"Now, lets get on, shall we? Piper, I want you to start from the begining, how you know Greg Harrison, how WELL do you know him, and when did all of this started. Give me as much detail as you can."

"Ok... Um, well, I knew Greg for a couple of years now, we never talked or anything before this year. Then one day he asked me out........." Piper told the story, from beginning to end, as she was instructed.

Green was listening in perfect concentration, and only asked questions when it was necessary.

Piper found her voice a little too quiet a few times.

It was harder then she thought it would be to recall all those mamories, and speak of them, but David Green seemed to be very understanding.

The meeting took two long hours.

After Piper finished her story, Green explaned how will things go from then on, made a list of possible witnesses, a few phone calles, and the meeting was over.

As the two sisters walked out of the building Prue stoped to look at Piper.

"Piper... I didn't know things were that bad."

"What are you tlaking about?"

"I never heard you tell the whole thing, you know, what happened with Greg... you never told me it was that bad." Prue said.

Piper smiled at her older sister, and took her hand in hers.

"Prue, thanks for your concern, but there is really no need. It won't get any worse from now on. All the bad stuff is behind me now." Piper said, trying to sound reassuring.

"Are you sure? You didn't sound so sure back in Green's office." Prue said.

"I'm sure. I'm ok. Really."

IN GREEN'S OFFICE

David Green stared at the door as it closed behind Piper and her damn sister.

No wander Prue was so annoying, after all, she was Victor's daughter.

Then he remambered the smile that came up on Piper's sweet face when he joked with her about something, and let himself chuckle aloud with delight.

She was as beautiful as he thought she would be, looking so much like her mother all those years back.

He remembered that night that Petty came to him with a tear stroked face after she had a fight with that damn husbend of hers, and he did everything to comfort her. Literally, everything, including making greate love to her. He knew she was the one, but she just wouldn't accept it, aspecially when her goddamn mother found out, and then there was nothing left for him to do but wait.

And he sure as hell waited long enough, now it was time to win his darling daughter back, whatever it would take.

BACK IN THE MANOR, both Leo and Phoebe were in the living room when Piper and Prue came back.

"How did it go?" Leo asked as soon as he saw Piper.

"Hello to you too..." Piper said as she took her shoes off.

"Sorry. Hi. How did it go?"

"Ok, pretty good." Piper said, realizing it was not that bad really.

"Realy? Did he say everything with the case was ok...?" Pheobe asked.

"Yep, he said we have every chance to win, it's a sure thing." Prue replied.

"Good." Leo said, noding to himself.

Piper smiled at Leo, happy that she had him, knowing she was lucky and diceded that she will never get upset with Leo. He was too good to be true, but then there he was, all concerned for her, his eyes looking somewhere random the way they did when he was in deep thought.

When he looked at her, he blushed when he realized she was watching him with a smile on.

Then he turned pensive again.

"Who are going to be the witnesses?" He asked.

"Prue probably, the doctor who took care of me when I was in the hospital after Greg... you know. That officer, Derryl. And you." Piper said.

"Good." Leo said again, noding.

"How come I don't get to? I want to kick his ass too!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"Be my guest." Piper said, and wandered off to another room, leaving her sisters who started to argue about something the has to do with school.

Piper started climbing the stairs when she stopped and turned around when remembering something, only to elbow Leo in the eye, who was follwing her upstairs without her noticing.

"Ouch!"

"Oh my god! I am so sorry!" She exclaimed as she watched him cover his eye.

She put her hand out and removed Leo's hand from his face.

"Let me see that." She touched his cheeckbone, and he winced slightly.

"Let's get you some ice." She said, and took his hand to lead him into the kitchen.

He sat down, and did a sad puppy face he could do so well.

"Don't pull that face at me, you shouldn't have snuck behind me like that!" Piper said as she put some ice in a plastic beg and took a seat next to Leo, then placed the ice under his right eye where she hit him.

"You attacked me." Leo said.

"Your falt." Piper argued, and suddenly realized Leo was smiling.

"What are you smiling at, ha?"

"You." He said simply.

"Men." Piper complained, and pressed the ice a little hard on purpose, then felt sorry she did when he winced again.

"Next time you won't be sneaking on me." She said, as he took the ice from her hand to remove it and leaned forward to kiss her.

When he pulled back after quite a few seconds, she asked;

"Was that for attacking you?"

He smiled.

"Ok. I should do that more often then." she said.

"Deal. Come on, let's go upstairs."

"You are such a little brat." Piper said, smacking his shoulder.

"But you still want to go upstairs with me..." Leo said, grinning with delight.

"Too true. Ok, lead the way, Charm Boy." Piper said, and the two ran upstairs as though they were racing for gold.
