Chapter 5 of A Thousand Paper Stars
A.N: Thanks everyone for reading this fic. and encouraging me to do this. Well, here's the next chapter of the story ... and oh yeah, it's still the present.
A day after ...
Leo sat beside Piper every moment he can to await for her to wake up again. Paige and Phoebe would try to persuade him to go home and have some sleep but he would just refuse. The girls tried they're best but nothing seem to get Leo away from Piper even though they wish they could have some time with Piper, alone.
"Leo, go home you need to sleep. We'll call you when Piper wakes up. We promise," Phoebe spoke. "You still need to eat too. You haven't eaten for days now. Please go home. Rest and eat."
Leo looked towards Phoebe and Paige. "I can't leave Piper's side. I can't eat or sleep. It's just too difficult knowing Piper is in this condition."
Paige gave him a glare. "Look mister. I know you love Piper very, very much. Now how would you think she would feel if you sat here day after day looking the way you are? You look skinner than before. Think of how Piper would feel."
Leo looked down, gave Paige that "innocent" look (a.n. innocent ... lol cough) and stood up. "You're right, Paige. I can't let Piper see me this way. Call me when she wakes up or anything."
After Leo walked out the door, Paige and Phoebe gave each other happy looks because they have the time to encourage Piper to wake up instead of just Leo. Phoebe took the seat that Leo sat.
"Hey, Paige this seat is too warm! This seat can even bake some cookies too." Phoebe laughed with Paige and sat down. Phoebe gently took Piper's hand. "Piper, we miss you. You're meals and everything. It's not a manor without the three of us. Don't leave like Prue did. It's just not fair." Phoebe now drowning in her own puddle of tears was getting off the chair and giving Paige a time to talk too.
Paige wiped the tears that chases itself down her cheeks and sat down on the chair. "Piper, you and Phoebe are the only love I've known that's so true." Paige flashes on a smile, still tears after tears fell. "Remember the first time we knew we were a family? You, Phoebe, and Prue shine me the light to the world of darkness. Remember? I miss you Piper, wake up..."
Afternoon
Leo came quickly back to the hospital as soon as he rested, eat, and shaved. He bring with him his guitar (yeah he plays guitar... lol), the packet of the "soon to be-made" stars, and the song that was written by a guitarist (you'll find out soon who it is). By the time he got to Piper's room, he saw Phoebe and Paige cuddled on the couch sleeping. So he quietly stepped in and took his seat. He placed the guitar next to him and the "soon to be made" stars on the table. He stood up and kissed Piper on the forehead and whispered, "I ... love ... you."
A.N. Thanks for tuning into this story and chapter. I really appreciated. I'm sorry this is late and this is due to school and exams. So I had to study. But chapter 6 is right around the corner. So stay TUNE!
