AN: I'm posting this chappy right after the last one, so will address reviews when here is a break between chapters. LOL! There is major fluff coming up. It was so corny; it was hard for me to write! LOL again!

"So, Vance, I broke up with Beth for this girl and now, I can't get her out of my head!" Leo said, running his words together. Raven-haired Vance smiled mischievously.

"Let me ask you a question. Are you just in it for her—apparently—tight little bod, or are you really into her?" Leo glanced at his watch.

"I don't know you've been listening to for the past 10 minutes, but it hasn't been me." Vance laughed.

"Okay, so you like her. Let me get this straight, you two are about to get down and dirty when..."

"When she tell me I have to get out." Leo supplied, downing his beer. Vance just nodded and sipped his.

"So how many official dates have you had?" Leo looked at his best friend through blurry, inebriated eyes.

"What's the definition? It changes as you get older." Vance took another sip.

"You know, one of you said, 'Let's go out Friday night'."

"Does only Friday night count?" Leo asked, slurring his words. Vance patted him on the back.

"You, my friend, have had too much to drink." Leo laid the side of his face on the bar just as a man ordered two double bourbons. "I thought you said I've had enough." Leo said. Vance smiled sadly.

"I'm afraid that wasn't me." Vance, who only had half a beer, was there to care for his best friend. Leo let himself be dragged out to the parking lot. As they got out, Vance called a cab for Leo. Vance's pager beeped. "Oh, listen; I'm the only doctor on call. I hate to leave you, will you get in the cab when it gets here."

Leo nodded. Vance hopped in his car and drove off. Despite his promise, Leo tried several times to put his key in his car door before succeeding, finally did climb in. He went through the same process with his ignition. At last, he pulled out of the parking lot. He checked himself in the rearview mirror.

He didn't look drunk. He turned on the radio to the first station that came in. He let out a whoop of happiness at the playing song and began to sing along. "I wanna rock and roll all night, and party everyday!!"

Leo looked up from the radio just in time to see the blaring headlights.

Piper's phone rang loudly in her ear. She glanced at the clock. 3:42, who could be calling that late? "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Piper Halliwell?" She sat up.

"Yes, and who would this be?"

"This is Nurse Jensen at Crestview Hospital, downtown." Piper's heart skipped at beat.

"Oh my God—"

"Calm down." The nurse assured.

"We have a Leo Wyatt here and he needs a ride home. He's been in a car accident; it was very mild, as are his injuries. But he's wrapped his car around a telephone pole."

"I'll be right there."

-----

"Leo Wyatt, you gigantic tool, what the hell is wrong with you!?" Leo, who only had a few bandages here and there, winced.

"Could you not yell so loud?" She smacked him in the back of the head.

"I was worried sick! I get a call from the hospital, telling me that your dumb ass has been in a car accident! My mind automatically jumps to ICU or something! And here you are with a bunch of Band-Aids—" She smacked him in the arm with her purse. "And another thing, you do something like this again and...Ooo, Leo Wyatt! Look, I'm going to go talk to nurse. You sit down." She walked off, muttering under her breath.

Leo sat a seat away from an older man. He was in his mid-to-late 60's Leo reasoned. The elderly had a small knowing small on his face.

"She your wife?" he asked. Leo shook his head with a grin.

"Nah."

"Your girl?" Leo's grin widened.

"I wish." The old man gave him an odd look. "Well, what ever you do, don't let that one go. She obviously loves you." Leo's face turned puzzled.

"Trust me, she doesn't."

"Yes she does, otherwise she wouldn't have come in here yelling at you like that." Leo frowned as he thought about it.

"Thank you." He said, right before being pulled to the car. They'd been driving along in silence until Piper spoke.

"Leo, why'd you get so angry earlier?" His suppressed anger boiled up again.

"Because you're not allowed to show a man your feelings then snatch them out from under him like a damn rug. It's not right."

"I'll tell you what's not right!" she said irately, "You make all these assumptions about me and then you get angry when things don't go as planned!"

"Then tell me!" he said hotly, "Tell me why you get so fking bitchy on me! FIGURE IT THE FK OUT!!

"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!" Piper shouted even louder than he, tears welling up in her eyes. She pulled over to the side of the road. "You don't even know." She whispered, her head falling as hot tears fought for space in her eyes before falling onto her clothes. Leo's heart melted. He moved to put his arms around her, but she shied away.

"You don't know. My grandma was married 7 times and none of them were good to her." She said, the moonlight picking out the 2 tear trails. "And Dad...he was real bad to Mom. He didn't care about us, about her...She had to take on two jobs to support us and it was hard on her, all because he left." She said disgustedly, sniffing. Leo looked on in shock at the information she was divulging.

"And then...It happened. I was 15 and my self-esteem was low. He was popular and handsome and he took me out. We pulled up to this popular place to make out. And if you wanted, make love. He started to kiss me and touch me and I told him I didn't want to go all the way. But he...he persisted, tearing at my clothes and shoving his hand up my skirt. We were in the woods and I jumped out of the car and he chased me all the way down to the highway...and...and..."

Piper gulped as if she couldn't go on. "And um...He tried to...he tried to...but he...but he..."Piper's tears dried up and she pulled back onto the highway where they drove to his house in uncomfortable silence.

3 days later, Piper and Leo still hadn't made up. At that rate, she wasn't sure that they would. It was mid-afternoon when the phone rang. "Hello?"

"Come to the front window." Piper scowled.

"Leo Wyatt, if you think I'm coming down to the window in this rain, after the other night you are sadly mistaken."

"Just come to the window."

"Leo, if you think—Oh my God!" Piper blinked her eyes, sure that they were playing tricks on her. Maroon5 stood under her window, underneath a large tent. Leo stood by them, but in the rain.

"My voice is terrible and I turn into chicken sht when I get on stage. I figure they could do it better.

"Leo, you're going to catch phenomina and I'll laugh because I warned you, I think you've lost your mi—"

"Just shut up and enjoy a nice gift." From there the band launched into "She Will Be Loved" And Piper enjoyed the whole thing. She could talk to him later. For now, she was just loved.

AN: So...what do you think?? Please review. While I was writing I got a review, of course Piper and Leo will end up together, do you think I'm crazy. (But I do think Dan was, LOL) I know Piper has just unloaded a lot and well, it's not pleasant. Please tell me what you think about this turn of events.
