Running From Your Past
This story line is a teen/adult one since I'll be going back and forth from Piper's present, to her past, where at 16, Piper leaves the life she knew. Only to be thinking back on it 6 years later as events and people from her past, start appearing in her life now.
AN: I don't own any of the characters, expect the ones I add in. Which are Jeff, Scott and Jen. I might add in others if I need too. Prue never died, since Piper was never there to complete the Power of Three. Prue and Phoebe did get their powers, but they were just the Power of two. Leo is their white-lighter, but he knew the girls when they were teenagers, because he was one too and did age as the two sisters did. (It will get explained in later chapters so don't worry). Andy also never died, since as I said before, no PO3 (power of 3). Piper doesn't have her powers and she doesn't know about any of her magic side, since the girls had to be together to become the PO3. Ok, keep in mind, from now on if I put Piper for Jen, its cause that's how she knows her mom, even though she won't say Piper. For everyone else, its Taylor and I will write Taylor not Piper. If it gets confusing, I'll just say Taylor, but write Piper. Also some might be from Piper's point of view or someone else's or its going to be the normal way.
Ok, this is going to be the chapter where Leo finds out Taylor is indeed Piper. Since a couple of the readers want him to find out the truth. I guess some might think its too soon, but it will all work out, and it will let me add in Prue and Phoebe's point of view as well as I go on in the chapters. Since this is the finding out one, I'm going to put Leo and Piper's point of view in the same chapter and there is a surprise, hope you all enjoy the chapter.
Leo's Point of View.
In the afternoon I wasn't as near prepared for what was going to happen than I thought I was. The warnings on the television said that the minor earthquake wouldn't happen until late at night, but they were wrong, since it had happened right in the middle of the day. I had experienced many before in San Francisco and was used to them, but the one that had happened today left me wishing that I had closed the restaurant for the day.
I was making my usual rounds of the restaurant, greeting the customers and asking how they were enjoying the food. "Mr. Wyatt sir, Taylor wanted me to tell you, that she has to leave to go pick up her daughter but will be back after." Scott told me as he passed by with a tray of food. "Alright thanks." I told him and started to make my way to the back kitchen, when I suddenly felt the ground underneath my feet start to move. 'What the hell?' I thought, than suddenly remembered the earthquake warning. I grabbed onto a chair to steady myself, and heard some of the customer's freaking out a bit, and a lot of things falling from in the back kitchen. When it stopped, I looked around to see if anyone had been the slightest hurt. "Everyone alright?" I called, and got a few no's and yes's from people. "Scott, check to see who is hurt and who is fine, if its bad call an ambulance. I'm going to check in the back kitchen." I told him, and he nodded and went around checking and asking the people if they were all right. When I got to the back kitchen, I took noticed of a lot of the cookware was on the floor, among a couple of chefs who must have gotten hit in the head with the falling pots or pans from the top shelf. "Hey boss! Jackson and Parker are out cold. You better call someone quick." I heard one of the workers say as he was kneeling down next to Jackson. I rushed over to Taylor, and a cut on forehead and a large pot behide were she was laying on the ground. I always took notice that her purse had dropped her makeup, wallet, and keys out of the bag. I reached over and picked up her keys and wallet, which on the front cover had her driving license. I was about to put it in her bag, when I noticed something behide her license, the top of it said San Francisco on it. I slowly took out the card and almost had a heart attack right there in the back kitchen. ' It is Piper.' I said whispering to myself as I looked at her old license, and quickly put it in my back pocket and her wallet back in her purse when I heard the EMTs coming to the kitchen. "Is she going to be okay?" I asked one of the two men who had put her on the stretcher. "Yeah, she will be fine once she wakes up and she gets a couple of stitches for that cut. Your welcome to come along if you want too sir." The other guy said to me and I nodded, following them outside. It had been an hour since Tayl, I mean Piper was brought to the hospital, she had woken up once they had pulled into the hospital drop off and they were now finishing putting the stitches on her wound. I waited outside the whole time, knowing that I needed to talk to her. She came out 5 minutes later and noticed me standing right next to the door. "What are you doing here?" she said to me surprised to see me there. "I wanted to make sure you were alright, and I need to talk to you." I said to her. "Well as you can see I'm fine, but I really need to get home and make sure my daughter is okay." She said to me as she started to walk away. I knew I couldn't let her leave, without her knowing that I had found the truth. "Don't go, I really need to talk to you Taylor, or is it Piper?" I asked her as I walked a foot behide her. She suddenly stopped walking once I had said Piper, and she slowly turned around to face me. "I'm sorry, but did you just call me Piper?" she asked me, I knew she was putting on an act and I had to show her how I knew. I reached to my back pocket and pulled out the driver license, holding it in front of me, facing the front of the card towards her. "That's your name isn't it? Piper Halliwell?" I asked her, and saw the color drain from her face. "Where did you get that?" She asked me quietly as I walked the remaining steps to her, so I stood in front of her. "It fell out of your bag. Want to explain to me why you ran all the way here and changed your name?" I asked her as I handed her license back to her. She took it and put it in her back pocket, since she didn't have her purse with her. "I don't know what your talking about." She said to me, than turned and quickly walked out of the hospital, to outside to where it looked like she was trying to get a cab. "Piper! Don't run away from me again!" I called to her as I went after her. Outside it had started to rain, and it was coming down pretty hard. When I got to her, she was standing there in the rain, trying to get a cab to stop for her with no such luck. I grabbed her arm gentle and made her face me, her beautiful brown eyes were red, but I couldn't tell if she was crying or if it was just the rain going down on her face. "Why did you leave me 6 years ago? Didn't you love me?" I asked her as I let go of her arm, but she still didn't answer me, just stared at me. "Did you love me Piper?" I repeated again, I watched her bring a hand to her forehead as she looked down. "Piper." I started but she cut me off. "God damn Leo! How the hell can you even ask that! Of course I loved you." She said in a shaky voice, and I knew she was crying. "Than why did you leave, huh?! You left everyone! You didn't even leave a damn note that would explain to us why you left!" I said yelling at her, I was finally letting out anger and sadness that had been in me ever since she left. "Because I was scared all right! Are you happy now! I left cause I was scared of what we had, of how perfect we were together. I thought it was all one big dream, that I was going to wake up from it soon, and everything would be over. So I left before that could have happened, and made a new life for myself and my daughter!" she told me, and when she finished, I couldn't help myself, I took her in my arms and kissed her. At first I felt she didn't respond, than after a second I felt her relax in my arms and kiss me back, but only for a couple of seconds before she broke the kiss and put her hands on my chest, pushing me away. "Don't Leo, don't do this to me." I heard her say to me. "Do what Piper? Love you? I will never stop loving you, don't you understand that?" I said her, I saw her about to answer when I heard someone calling my name. "Leo! Oh baby, your all wet! What are you doing standing in the rain?" I heard Linda say as she came to my side. "I was talking to Taylor, just making sure she was ok." I told Linda in a clam voice, trying not to let on that something had just happened moments before. "Oh sugar, your always so thought-full, Hi Taylor, I'm Linda, Leo's wife." She said to Piper, holding out her hand, as Piper looked at me quickly, than shook her head than shook Linda's hand. "Nice to meet you." Piper told her lowly. "Okay, well hunnie, you finish up and I'll met you at home. I just wanted to make sure you were okay since one of the nice boys down at the restaurant said you came down here." Linda said as she gave me a quick kiss. "All right." I told her and watched her go, when she was out of sight I turned and looked back at Piper, only to have her slap me across the face. "Hey! What the hell was that for?" I asked her as I held a hand to my cheek. "That's for kissing me and telling me that you stilled loved me, when you got a damn wife. Yeah, you're just a lying little husband now aren't you? You know what else, I thought I stilled loved you, but I guess I was wrong." She told me just as a cab pulled up, and she opened the door and was ready to go in, when I stopped her. "What about you huh? If you loved me so much, how come you got a daughter? Guess you couldn't wait to leave, than sleep with some guys hoping to get pregnant so they would stick around." I said, which earned me another slip across my face and I looked at her, she looked very pissed off at me just than. "I didn't get pregnant from a anyone here in Sacramento, I had been pregnant from a jerk in San Francisco, even before I left. That a wild guess at who the jerk was. I'll give you a clue, I'm talking to him right now." She told me than got in the cab, and he drove away.
I had stood there for a good 10 minutes after she left trying to figure out what she had meant. I was Jen's father? I was confused and tried to think back to the things we had slept together, and I remember we had two months before she had left. It all made sense now, I had to find her and talk to her. I need to know why she had kept it from me.
Piper's Point of View.
My day went worse than I expected, and I made up my mind, from what happened, everything had been made clear. The only problem was if I was going to do anything about it.
I didn't remember much of what had happened after I woke up in a hospital car, and them telling me that I needed stitches for my forehead wound. After they had finished, they told me I was allowed to go home, but I need to rest, and I should probably take off from work for a couple of day. When I walked out of the room, I saw Leo standing there, looking very worried. "What are you doing here?" I said to him surprised to see him there. "I wanted to make sure you were alright, and I need to talk to you." He told me as he looked up. "Well as you can see I'm fine, but I really need to get home and make sure my daughter is okay." I said to him as I started to walk away. I had felt uncomfortable with him wanting to see if I was okay, than wanting to talk to me. "Don't go, I really need to talk to you Taylor, or is it Piper?" He asked me as I heard him walking behide me. I suddenly stopped walking once he had said Piper, and I slowly turned around to face him. "I'm sorry, but did you just call me Piper?" I asked him, as I pretended not to know what he was talking about. I saw him into his back pocket than hold up something that looked a lot like my old driver's license. I saw it that it was my old driver's license when he faced it towards me. "That's your name isn't it? Piper Halliwell?" He asked me, like he already knew the answer and I suddenly felt very faint. "Where did you get that?" I asked him quietly as he walked the remaining steps to mer, so than stood in front of me. "It fell out of your bag. Want to explain to me why you ran all the way here and changed your name?" he asked, as he handed me my license back. I took it and put it in my back pocket, since I didn't have my purse with me. "I don't know what your talking about." I said, than turned and quickly walked out of the hospital to outside, where I tried to get a cab to take me home. I knew I couldn't stand there and talk to him, without him knowing about everything, including Jenny. "Piper! Don't run away from me again!" He called to me as he followed behide me. Outside it had started to rain, and it was coming down pretty hard. I felt him grabbed my arm gentle and made me turn around to face him, I had already started to cry, not believe that this was all happening. "Why did you leave me 6 years ago? Didn't you love me?" He asked me as he let go of my arm, but I never said a word to him, just looked into his eyes, trying to really understand myself of why I left the man I loved. "Did you love me Piper?" he repeated again, and I put my hand to my forehead, over my cut as I looked down at my shoes. "Piper." he started but I cut him off, he was just so damn persistent in trying to find out answers. "God damn Leo! How the hell can you even ask that! Of course I loved you." I said in a shaky voice, since I was still crying. "Than why did you leave, huh?! You left everyone! You didn't even leave a damn note that would explain to us why you left!" he said yelling at me, I could tell he was pissed at my answer, but I couldn't lie to find and say I never loved him or lie about anything else anymore. "Because I was scared all right! Are you happy now! I left cause I was scared of what we had, of how perfect we were together. I thought it was all one big dream, that I was going to wake up from it soon, and everything would be over. So I left before that could have happened, and made a new life for myself and my daughter!" I told him, when I was done, I never expected for him to do what he did next. He had pulled me towards him and kissed me, I was so remind of our past together as a couple that I didn't even respond at first. Than after a second I did kiss him back, I was giving in to what my heart was telling me to go for. I broke it after a few seconds, once I had realized what I was doing, I put my hands on his chest, and pushed him away. "Don't Leo, don't do this to me." I said to him as I also took a step back. "Do what Piper? Love you? I will never stop loving you, don't you understand that?" He told me, and I believed him and wanted to tell him I stilled loved him also, when I heard a woman call out to Leo. "Leo! Oh baby, your all wet! What are you doing standing in the rain?" Some woman said as she went to his side. "I was talking to Taylor, just making sure she was ok." I heard him tell her, I had a bad feeling that she and Leo were a lot more than friends just from watching how she talked to him. "Oh sugar, your always so thought-full, Hi Taylor, I'm Linda, Leo's wife." She said to me, holding out her hand, and that's when I felt as I had been shot in the heart. I looked at Leo quickly, than shook my head a bit, than shook Linda's hand. "Nice to meet you." I told her lowly. "Okay, well hunnie, you finish up and I'll met you at home. I just wanted to make sure you were okay since one of the nice boys down at the restaurant said you came down here." Linda said as she gave him a kiss right in front of me. "All right." I heard Leo tell her and watched as he watched her leave. When he looked back at me, I felt so mad that I slapped him across the face. "Hey! What the hell was that for?" He asked me as I watched him bring a hand to his now red cheek. "That's for kissing me and telling me that you stilled loved me, when you got a damn wife. Yeah, you're just a lying little husband now aren't you? You know what else, I thought I stilled loved you, but I guess I was wrong." I told him just as a cab pulled up, so I turned and opened the door and was ready to go in, when he put his hand on the door, stopping me from opening it any wider and from having a chance to go in. "What about you huh? If you loved me so much, how come you got a daughter? Guess you couldn't wait to leave, than sleep with some guys hoping to get pregnant so they would stick around." he said to me, which I couldn't believe my ears, so I slapped him again, even if I shouldn't have since he didn't know the truth about Jenny. "I didn't get pregnant from a anyone here in Sacramento, I had been pregnant from a jerk in San Francisco, even before I left. That a wild guess at who the jerk was. I'll give you a clue, I'm talking to him right now." I told him fuming with anger and got in once he let go of the door. I told the driver where I lived and he put the car in drive, and started to drive to my apartment.
After I got home, I found Jenny waiting up for me with a friend of mine. I thanked her for watching Jen, and she left saying it was no trouble at all. I explained to my daughter the reason I didn't pick her up and she was happy that I was ok. I called into work and let Jeff know to tell Leo that I wasn't going to go into work for the rest of the week. Jeff said he would let Leo know, and told me to feel better. I spent the rest of my evening watching t.v with Jen, but my thoughts were on Leo and his damn wife. 'How could he say he loved me, when he was married and seemed to love this Linda chick.' I thought to myself. I knew avoiding him for a couple of days might be good, or it might not be good. I would just have to wait and see, but for now the truth was out in the open and my life had just gotten a whole lot worse.
This story line is a teen/adult one since I'll be going back and forth from Piper's present, to her past, where at 16, Piper leaves the life she knew. Only to be thinking back on it 6 years later as events and people from her past, start appearing in her life now.

I said in a shaky voice, since I was still crying. "Than why did you leave, huh?! You left everyone! You didn't even leave a damn note that would explain to us why you left!" he said yelling at me, I could tell he was pissed at my answer, but I couldn't lie to find and say I never loved him or lie about anything else anymore. "Because I was scared all right! Are you happy now! I left cause I was scared of what we had, of how perfect we were together. I thought it was all one big dream, that I was going to wake up from it soon, and everything would be over. So I left before that could have happened, and made a new life for myself and my daughter!" I told him, when I was done, I never expected for him to do what he did next. He had pulled me towards him and kissed me, I was so remind of our past together as a couple that I didn't even respond at first. Than after a second I did kiss him back, I was giving in to what my heart was telling me to go for. I broke it after a few seconds, once I had realized what I was doing, I put my hands on his chest, and pushed him away. "Don't Leo, don't do this to me." I said to him as I also took a step back. "Do what Piper? Love you? I will never stop loving you, don't you understand that?" He told me, and I believed him and wanted to tell him I stilled loved him also, when I heard a woman call out to Leo. "Leo! Oh baby, your all wet! What are you doing standing in the rain?" Some woman said as she went to his side. "I was talking to Taylor, just making sure she was ok." I heard him tell her, I had a bad feeling that she and Leo were a lot more than friends just from watching how she talked to him. "Oh sugar, your always so thought-full, Hi Taylor, I'm Linda, Leo's wife." She said to me, holding out her hand, and that's when I felt as I had been shot in the heart. I looked at Leo quickly, than shook my head a bit, than shook Linda's hand. "Nice to meet you." I told her lowly. "Okay, well hunnie, you finish up and I'll met you at home. I just wanted to make sure you were okay since one of the nice boys down at the restaurant said you came down here." Linda said as she gave him a kiss right in front of me. "All right." I heard Leo tell her and watched as he watched her leave. When he looked back at me, I felt so mad that I slapped him across the face. "Hey! What the hell was that for?" He asked me as I watched him bring a hand to his now red cheek. "That's for kissing me and telling me that you stilled loved me, when you got a damn wife. Yeah, you're just a lying little husband now aren't you? You know what else, I thought I stilled loved you, but I guess I was wrong." I told him just as a cab pulled up, so I turned and opened the door and was ready to go in, when he put his hand on the door, stopping me from opening it any wider and from having a chance to go in. "What about you huh? If you loved me so much, how come you got a daughter? Guess you couldn't wait to leave, than sleep with some guys hoping to get pregnant so they would stick around." he said to me, which I couldn't believe my ears, so I slapped him again, even if I shouldn't have since he didn't know the truth about Jenny. "I didn't get pregnant from a anyone here in Sacramento, I had been pregnant from a jerk in San Francisco, even before I left. That a wild guess at who the jerk was. I'll give you a clue, I'm talking to him right now." I told him fuming with anger and got in once he let go of the door. I told the driver where I lived and he put the car in drive, and started to drive to my apartment.
After I got home, I found Jenny waiting up for me with a friend of mine. I thanked her for watching Jen, and she left saying it was no trouble at all. I explained to my daughter the reason I didn't pick her up and she was happy that I was ok. I called into work and let Jeff know to tell Leo that I wasn't going to go into work for the rest of the week. Jeff said he would let Leo know, and told me to feel better. I spent the rest of my evening watching t.v with Jen, but my thoughts were on Leo and his damn wife. 'How could he say he loved me, when he was married and seemed to love this Linda chick.' I thought to myself. I knew avoiding him for a couple of days might be good, or it might not be good. I would just have to wait and see, but for now the truth was out in the open and my life had just gotten a whole lot worse.
