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.
I'm going to try this new way of setting up that a reviewer told me bout, so it will cut down on how much you all have to read. Lets hope I can do it right.
Leo's Point of View.
I knew it was late to go and try to find Piper and talk to her, so I got a cab to take me home. When I stood in front of my apartment door, I reached in my pocket and slipped out my wedding ring, I put it back on my finger but took it back off a few seconds after, only to put it back on. I had done this a couple of times, when I took it off, I was free of marriage, when I had it on, and I was trapped in a life with Linda. I did love Linda, or else I wouldn't have married her in the first place, but now finding Piper again lead my old feelings to arise. I pulled out my cell-phone and dialed in the restaurant, Scott had picked up, and I asked him for Taylor's house address, which he gave to me after thinking about it. I thanked him, than heard someone in the background tell him to tell me that Taylor wasn't coming into work for the rest of the week. After talking for a few more seconds I hung up and quickly made my way to my other car, and drove to Taylor's Apartment.
Piper's Point of View.
I had dropped Jen off at the neighbor's apartment for the rest of the night, since their daughter wanted to have a play date and sleepover with Jen. With Jen over at their place, it gave me time to really think about everything, I thought about my sisters, and what it must have been like to live without me. I couldn't imagine how much pain I must have gave them and Leo.
I was cooking some t.v dinner dish for myself, when I suddenly heard the bell ring. I waited a minute to see if who ever was there would go away, but the ring came again. I sighed and started to make my way to the door, when I got there I opened it thinking that it might be Jen, but I was wrong. Leo stood at my door, with his hands in his pockets and looking at me. "Hi Piper." He said, and I knew he came over to talk, so I started to shut the door. I wasn't in the mood to explain why I left him without him knowing about his daughter all these years. He put his hand on the door, stopping it from closing any farther. "We need to talk." He said simply, not moving his hand. I slightly nodded and opened the door to let him in. "Come on in." I said quietly, then shut the door behide him. I walked passed him and to the kitchen, knowing he would follow after looking around first. I walked back over to the counter I was standing in front of, and went back to setting up my dinner for the night. I didn't hear him walking into the kitchen, but I felt that he was standing right behide me. "Why didn't you tell me?" I heard him say in a hurt voice, I took a guess he saw the pictures of Jen and me as she was growing up. "I didn't want to put you in a position that you weren't ready for." I told him honestly, but didn't turn around to see his reaction. "That I wasn't ready for? How would you have known if I was ready to be a father or not?" he said. "I knew alright. I was your damn girl friend for two years, we knew each other more than our own families Leo." I said to him as I walked over to the fridge to put my dinner away, I was suddenly not very hungry anymore. "So that made it alright for you keep this from me? Does she even know about me?" he asked me as he followed behide me. "Of course she knows, I wasn't going to keep that from her. She had asked when she was younger, and I told her everything." I told him. "Is she here now?" I took a deep breath, and turned around to face him. "She is at the neighbors, she wont be home for the night." I told him. "I still don't get it Piper, why did you leave if you knew you were pregnant?" he asked me. "Because I didn't know how you would react, I didn't know how Grams or Prue would react. I didn't want you to stop your dream for me and our daughter, so I left." I said. "I would have Piper, it wouldn't have matter as much if I had known, you knew I would have done anything for you. God damn Piper, I still love you and if you had told me, it would have been us married instead of Linda and me." Leo told me. I watched him vent out, and I knew he meant what he said. "You cant still love me if your with Linda, it doesn't work like that. Our chance was there, and I didn't take it and Jen's and my life is better than I thought it would be." I said as I watched him take a ring out of his pocket. "I'm willing to divorce Linda, so we can have a second chance Piper. All you have to do is say that you want me too, and I will." He said as he rested the ring on the table in front of us. I stood there speechless, and stared at him. "Leo, you cant do that." I said trying to make sense of it all. "I can and I'm willing too. Tell me you didn't feel anything when we kissed before, cause I did Piper and I know you did as well." He said as he grabbed my hands in his, I didn't know what to say. " I didn't feel anything and I cant let you give up your life for me Leo." I said to him as I pulled my hands away from him. He had stood there a second longer, than picked up the ring from the table and walked out of the kitchen, I had heard the door shut two seconds later. That's when I had broken down, and just sank to the ground.
Leo's Point of View.
I walked out of her apartment, wondering why I even went if I knew she wouldn't say yes. 'Cause you love her.' I said to myself as I walked down the stairs and outside. It was still raining pretty hard, but I didn't mind as I made my way to my car. I heard running behide me, but didn't think anything of it as I kept walking. "Leo!" I heard Piper yell my name, so I turned around and she was the one running behide me. "Piper! What are you doing out here? Its raining!" I said as I made my way over to her, when I got to her I was totally surprised when she kissed me. She pulled away from a minute or two, trying to catch her breath. "I couldn't let you leave without you knowing that I lied Leo, I did feel something. I felt like I did when we first kissed, I still love you." I heard her say over the thunder from above. "I can't let you walk out of my life again, I don't think I would be able to survive this time if your not with me." She continued. "So is that a yes for us to get back together?" I asked her with a small smile playing on my lips. "Yes Leo, it is. I want us together for Jen, she needs her father." She told me smiling back, and I couldn't resist and I kissed her with so much love and passion that I was keeping inside for the last 6 years. She pulled away, and it looked like she finally realized that it was raining outside. "Cmon, if we don't get out of the rain, we are going to end up sick." She said as she grabbed my hand and started to walk backwards, pulling me with her. I followed, watching her in the rain, taking in how beautiful she looked, and how much she had changed. When we got back into her apartment, she took me to her room, and I took time to look around as she went to get towels for us. I saw pictures of Jen and her, both smiling and having fun. When I went to look at the one on her night stand, I saw it was one of her and me, I took notice that it was taking a couple of months before she had taken off. "Here you go." I heard her say when she came back in and handed me a towel. "Thanks." I said as I took it and started to dry my wet hair. "I got these too for you." She said handing me a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, I saw she had already changed into a tank top and shorts. "Thanks." I said again, and put the towel on her bed, and started to change, which she didn't mind that I was changing in front of her. "I saw you looking at the photo's." she said as she sat down on the bed, and I finished changing. "Yeah, I noticed that you have the one of us taken at the park." I said as I looked back at it, than sat down on the bed next to her. "It's the only one I took from the house before I left." She explained to me, than yawned and I smiled. "It's late, and you've had a long day. You should get to sleep." I said to her as she nodded, than laid down, pulling me down next to her. I put an arm around her, and she placed her head on my chest and an arm around my stomach also. I kissed her forehead and smiled at her. "Night Piper." I said whispering. "Night Leo, love you." She said as she drifted off to sleep. "Love you too." I said whispering back, as I too fell asleep after a little bit of watching her.
