Chapter 2

The desicion

..... "I didn't need a spell to tell me where my heart lies..." Piper said. Her sisters looked at her desperately wanting to know whom she had chosen. "So, come on tell us." Pheobe cried out. "Yeah, you can't say that and then leave us waiting." Piper turned to them and with a twinkle in her eye she answered "Dan..."

"Dan?..." Her sisters replied at once. "Dan..."

"Dan?..."

"Dan..."

"Dan?..."

"YES, DAN!!!" Piper shouted, and blushed as a few people looked at her. "Oh, Dan..." Pheobe said with a disappointed tone. That didn't go amiss with Piper "What...What wrong?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am."

"Really sure."

"Yes."

"Really, really sure"

"Yes, I am."

"Positive?"

"PHEOBE! Enough, she's sure. Leave it there, before you start to ask her if she wanted to phone a friend. Then I would have to kill you." Prue said, she was also clearly annoyed with Piper choice but she had said she would stand by whomever she would choose. "Why are you both being like this? I thought both of you would have been happy that I have finally chosen someone."

"We are, we're just in shock I thought you would have chosen Leo seeing now he's mortal and all." Prue tried to explain. "I made my choice and I'm sticking to it. I thought you be happy for me as you said both of you would stand by my side. Or was that a lie. Now excuse me I have to go back to work." Piper stood up and walked off ignoring Leo, who was sensing something, was wrong with her.

"Piper?" He said, as he approached her and grabbed on to her hand. "Not now, Leo..." Piper nearly shouted at him as she pulled her hand back. She looked in his eyes taking in the hurt in them. The look that a five year old would give on discovering their beloved pet gold fishes had been flushed down the toilet by their evil, nasty and very, very mean Damien of an older sibling instead of being buried like they promised. (Not that I am bitter or anything!)

She sighed and with all gentleness carried on. "...We talk later, okay?"

"Okay." He agreed; Piper gave a small smile and a little nod as she walked towards her office. Leo eyes still lingered on her as she turned back on him. Both their eyes catching one last glimpse before she shut the door, and was alone with her thoughts on whether she had still made the correct choice.

As soon as the negative thoughts were in her head, she quickly shook those thoughts out. Thinking she was right and her sisters were wrong. She made the right choice and she was going to stick with it, she was determine to have at least one normality thing in her life and that's to have a normal boyfriend who hasn't been involved in any supernatural events.

Having Leo being a mortal again only confused matters, sure he already knew their 'big' secret as he was their whitelighter, but how long would it last before he ask for them back? It was probably too good to be true anyway.

Leaning back on her chair and closing her eyes, there's no going back now, she made her choice. Thinking the hardest part was finding an easy way of telling Leo her choice.

But, she was wrong, the hardest part was dealing with the unknown consequences of that choice.
