Chapter - Heartbreak City
"So what do you think?" Leo asked Piper showing her a diamond ring. Piper was in the kitchen tidying up at the time when Leo asked her.
"Oh thank you Leo you shouldn't have," Piper joked taking the ring with the huge diamond on it and putting it on. "It's beautiful," Piper said holding it to the light.
"I'm going to ask April to marry me," were the stinging words to Piper's heart Leo said.
Piper took the ring off handed it back to Leo, "Are you asking her because of your mother?" Piper asked.
"No. I think I'm ready for marriage again."
"Oh I see. When are you going to ask her?" Piper asked hurt.
"Tonight over dinner."
"Oh that sweet."
"Well I'm taking her on a picnic and then I'll ask her."
"Well you sound like you put a lot of thought into it," Piper then said carried on putting away the dishes.
"You know when I proposed to you I thought about it weeks before."
"Weeks before Leo? We just met weeks before."
"I know and I knew that I wanted to marry you."
Piper laughed, "Pity it didn't last long."
"Yeah but the were some of the best years of my life and I don't regret them."
"Well Leo I was your past. You have to think about your future now. And if April makes you happy then maybe marrying her is the right thing to do," Piper said the she left the room.

"Hey why are you so sad?" Sandra asked Piper as they were walking to their dressing rooms. It was a day at work and filming had wrapped up.
"It's nothing," Piper laughed off.
"Really. Then why are you not your normal happy self?"
"You know how you can be so comfortable with a friend but then he as a girlfriend, and, well you know he has no time for you anymore."
"What do you mean by anymore Piper?"
"Well he's not with her all the time but when he's out with, I don't know. It's nothing."
"Nothing? So you think when he's out with her he should be with you?" Sandra asked as they both walked into Piper's dressing room.
"I sound selfish, don't I?"
"No not at all. You sound like you're in love."
"I'm not in love in Leo."
"Leo! Are we talking about Leo?"
"No!"
"Oh my god you are. Have you told him?"
"I'm not in love with him. He has April. We just get on well that's all" Piper said trying to defend herself.
"Oh please Piper."
"Anyway Leo's going to ask April to marry him."
"Oh I see. Who's care about men Piper. Why Piper why don't we go to my place, have all girls night and drool over Brian Krause in Stalker Sisters' SLEEPSTALKERS. I hear he's nude in it a lot."
"Oooh sounds delicious. And we can also rent DIG Brian Krause is in that too. His girlfriend gets kidnapped by this guy called Dan who's in love with him and want his girlfriend out of the way so he can be with Brian Krause. Get it DIG, it stands for DanIsGay."
"Oh my god that is so funny because I really think the director Dan Gordon is gay too." Sandra said.
"Really. I never picked that up."
"Eww didn't you go out on a date with him?"
"Just one. He seemed to love his hair a bit too much."
"And you didn't gather he was gay from that?"
"Well now that you mention it."
Sandra laughed, "Come one lets got before the video store closes."

It was past midnight and Leo had walked through the door. He turned the lights on to see John coming down the stairs, "Mr. Wyatt."
"Is anything wrong?" Leo asked.
"No I was just expecting Ms. Halliwell to come home with you."
"With me?"
"Well she hasn't come home yet."
"What do you mean yet?"
"She didn't come home after work."
Just then Leo pulled out his cell phone and dialed Piper's number, "Hello," Piper answered. She decided to spend the night over at Sandra's at the thought of she might have to go home and face the happy couple which he knew she couldn't.
"Piper are you all right?" Was the first thing Leo asked.
"Leo, I'm fine."
"Where are you?"
"I'm at Sandra's place."
"Well when are you coming home?"
"Leo I'm not coming home tonight. Sandra and I are just gonna watch some movies and I'll spend the night here."
Leo paused for a while not saying anything, "O.K." he said.
"Anyway I though you might bring April home and want the house to yourself."
"Piper my parents are still here in case you forgot."
"Oh yeah how can I forget."
"Are you coming back home tomorrow?"
"Yeah I will."
"O.K. So I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Yeah,"
"Bye, have a nice night."
"Yeah I will. You too Leo. Bye," Piper said and hung up.
"What did Leo want?" Sandra asked sitting on the couch next to Piper.
"Wanted to know where I was."
"Come on you're not his wife anymore that he need to keep tabs on you. Oops sorry that was sore spot."
"I'm not in love with Leo," Piper laughed hitting Sandra on the arm. "So what movies have we got?"
"Well we have Brian Krause in Stalker Sisters' SLEEPSTALKERS. We have Brian Krause in DanIsGay. We Brian Krause in the Sex-Minator. We have Brian Krause in Buns Of Steal."
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Buns Of Steal it is," Sandra said grabbing the movie.
"And then Sex-Minator, we'll have to watch that twice."
"Hell yeah girlfriend! He can Sex-Minator me any time he wants."
Four hours later Piper and Sandra are glued to the TV screen watching Sex-Minator for the third time.

It was after two PM when Piper came home to hear female voices in the living room. She opened the door quietly in hopes no one would hear her.
Leo was in the living room with his parents and April. April and Leo had broke the good news about their wedding plans to Mr. And Mrs. Wyatt. Nikki Wyatt was over the moon.
"Mr. Wyatt, Ms. Halliwell is home," John whispered into Leo's ear.
Leo got up to leave when Nikki Wyatt asked, "Leo where are you going?"
"I just need to make a important phone call Mom."
"Well hurry back we have lots to plan for the wedding."
And with that Leo left to find Piper trying to close the door quietly, "Hi!" Leo said scaring the day lights out of Piper. She jumped and turned around to see Leo.
"Leo, you scared me," Piper said breathing deeply putting her hand over her heart.
"Sorry. Looks like you were trying to sneak in."
"Oh well I figured you were busy so I didn't want to get in the way."
"Piper you know I always have time for you."
"Yeah maybe you shouldn't Leo I'm your ex wife."
"But you also my friend."
Piper paused for a while not knowing what to say. "Leo?" April's voice said heading towards Piper and Leo. "What are you doing here?" April asked as she found Leo and walked up to him talking his hand. She then saw Piper and place her hand on Leo's chest flashing her diamond ring. "Oh Piper hello."
"Well I guess congratulations is in order. Congratulations April you finally got him," Piper said and then heading up the stairs.
Leo turned and then looked at April, "What was that all about?" he asked her.
"I don't know maybe she jealous that I'm with you and she no longer isn't."
"April Piper's not like that."
"Well that's what you think Leo."
"It not what I think April it's what I know. After all we were married once."
"And don't remind me," April said taking Leo's hand dragging him to the living room.
Piper headed straight to her bedroom. Throwing her hand bag on the dresser, Piper dropped on her bed bursting into tears.

It was six PM that afternoon and Leo came knocking on Piper's bedroom door only to find her not answer. He called out her name but still she said nothing. He opened the door to see Piper was fast a sleep on her bed. He walked over to her and grabbed a blanket and covered her body only to wake her up, "Leo? What's it that time?" Sleepy Piper asked.
"It's just after six. Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up."
"No it's fine," Piper said sitting up in bed.
"What did you do late night that you're so tired?" Leo asked siting on Piper's bed.
"We rented Sex-Minator last night and watched it five times."
"Wow was it that good?"
"Yeah. well more like Brian Krause was that good."
"Brian Krause? Who's that? Is he some kinda porn star?" Leo asked.
"I wish," Piper joked.
"Are you hungry? Why don't we go out for dinner?"
"Where are you parents?"
"They are out with some family friends?"
"And April?"
"She got a early start tomorrow so she called it a night. Why don't you get ready and I'll wait for you downstairs," Leo said getting up and then he left the room assuming his ex wife was going with him.
20 minutes later Piper was dressed in a little black dress. She came down to the living room to find Leo in a grey suit. He was on his cell phone talking to someone about business when Piper walked in. He turned around to see Piper and stopped in his tracks, "Yeah Simon, I have to go now I'll call you later," Leo said hanging up. "So you ready my lady," Leo said taking Piper's hand. She smiled at him and they left.

Leo and Piper had dinner. They had just come home and where heading upstairs when grabbed Piper's arm making Piper stop. She turned around and faced Leo with a questioning looking, "It something wrong Piper?" Leo asked.
"No," Piper said.
Leo let go of Piper's arms as they both walked up the stairs. "The reason I asked is your were very quite tonight during dinner. It's not the Piper I know."
Piper stopped and turned around to face Leo who was a step behind her, "I'm sorry it just I was tired and you had made up you mind that we were going out for dinner."
"I'm sorry. I should have not assumed you would go out with me. I guess it's because I've been your husband longer than a friend and I still need to get out of the habit of treating you as my wife."
"It's O.K. I guess I do the same thing too. Being your wife is a hard habit to break," Piper joked. Leo laughed as he looked Piper in the eyes like something was going to happen between the two, but before it could, "Good night Leo," Piper said leaving Leo at the stairs as she headed up to her room.
"Good night Piper," Leo said as his eyes stalked Piper up the stairs, but he said it more to himself.

It read 3:35am on the clock on the night stand next to Piper's bed. Piper had woken up by noises, "Leo is that you?" Piper called. But nobody said anything. Piper noticed the door to her room balcony was opened a bit. "Leo!" Piper called again as she got up to close the door.
Leo who was asleep in his bed next door heard Piper call his name the second time. He got up to go and see if Piper was all right. As he went to Piper's room door he heard her scream and the window break. He then heard Piper scream his name for help. "PIPER!" Leo yelled running into Piper's bedroom. He saw the balcony door was open with broken glass every were. He ran to the balcony calling Piper's name and then jumped down the fire escape. He heard someone fall into the pool and the saw someone dressed in black running away. Leaving the person dressed in black Leo ran to the pool. He found Piper she was under water. Leo jumped into the pool to pull up a choking Piper. He quickly got her out of the water and lay her on the cement where Piper was still choking. "Are you all right? Leo asked moving Piper's wet hair away from her face. Piper just then grabbed onto Leo holding him tight as he cried into his chest. Leo held Piper in his arm as he kissed her on the forehead.
"What is going on here!" Nikki Wyatt's voice yelled as she come out to the pool.
"Leo what happened? I heard Piper scream and and a black figure running away," Nick Wyatt asked.
"Mr. Wyatt," John yelled running towards the pool. "Ms. Halliwell is she all right?" John asked as he saw Leo holding Piper.
"She'll be all right," Leo said holding Piper closer.
