Disclaimer: It's 5:00 in the morning right now, and the only thing I own is the back of my eyelids and the fact that I couldn't go back to bed. Oh, and I own that dream I had where I owned Charmed!

A/n: Sry about the rush when I first updated this. I woke up at 5:30, and I thought I would have enough time to write the whole thing and get posted. But before I knew it it was 7:20, so I could barely get it posted. I'll try to add a little more detail now that I actually have time.

Versatilecutie: Oh, just wait. He'll be in the story soon. I promise. And yes, Dan is a monster-sized jerk. Hopefully they will all be answered soon.

Jennifer: Lol. I like speechless ppl, that means they're in shock! I'm still workin on the Leo part, but I shall update!

I-Cant-Think-Of-A-Name-Lol: Lol. It might...


So let's take some time out to find a way
Cuz there are just so many things I need to say
(So many things I need to say)
Cause when the lights are down and love is in the air
And I need to know
Do you really care
(Do you really care baby)

Who do you love (tell me who do you love)
Who do you love
Girl I know that you are torn between what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know
Who do you love (oh yeah)
Who do you love

Oh yeah


'Hmmm, that's a pretty song,' Piper's head sighed. A smile widened across her face. The lyrics echoed through her head, making her think of Leo. 'Is that how he feels? Does he think that I still love him?' Piper asked herself. She slowly opened her eyes and gasped.

The room was shown sterile white, blinding Piper for a second. She tried to sit up and rub her eyes, but pain shot through her body as moved her left arm and her right leg. Suddenly, everything came flooding back, hitting her like a bullet train

Dan had raped her! He had tried to kill Trista and herself, then he had raped her. Every horrifying moment flew though Piper's mind like an old projector. Slide after slide after slide. Piper squeezed her eyes shut and tried to forget everything, but she couldn't.

"Piper!" A voice gasped. Piper tentatively opened her eyes, afraid Dan had come to say he was sorry. But it wasn't Dan. It wasn't her sisters, or anyone from the Club. It was Leo. Piper's jaw almost fell open, but she was able to keep it together.

"L-Leo. What are you doing here?" Piper asked curiously, trying not to sound shocked. Leo started to answer, but the boom box sitting on the windowsill answered for him.


Who do you love (tell me who, yeah)
Who do you love (I need to know baby)
Girl I know that you are torn between what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know
Who do you love
Who do you love


"Oh, I shouldn't have left this on." Leo mumbled to himself. He rushed to the window and turned off the radio. Piper cleared her throat, trying to get Leo's attention. Leo slowly spun around, sighed, then pulled up a chair next to Piper's bed.

"Leo, just tell me what you're doing here." Piper said softly. Leo chucked nervously to himself. "You'll be mad." He said, looking up from the bed and into Piper's eyes. "I don't care how mad I get. I want to know your story."

"Okay, but I'm not sure if you're going to like it." Leo cleared his throat, then continued. "Well, I was on the phone with Phoebe when somebody called. Phoebe told me to hold on, so I waited. I've forgotten what we were talking about, and I think Phoebe did too.

"Phoebe came back on the line after a while, and she sounded really upset. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't talk to me. The only thing I got out of her was that she had talked to Dan and he had been mean to her.

I asked if she would just tell me what Dan had wanted. She thought for a moment, then told me that he was going to Piper's babysitting job to surprise her. I didn't understand why that had been such a bad thing, but I said goodbye after asking where you were and hung up."

"Wait, you mean..." Piper started. "Just wait." Leo interrupted. "I haven't finished. I found Dan's car on the freeway, so I followed him to the apartment. He was buzzed in, and I barely caught the door and got myself in too.

I tried following Dan upstairs, but this old couple asked me if I could help them find the ballroom or something. I tried saying I didn't work there, but they didn't understand me, so I walked all over the lobby looking for the room."

'And while he was doing that, Trista had ticked off.' Piper added to herself. As Leo kept talking, she fit in her part of the story in her head so she could understand everything that Leo had to do. 'And Dan grabbed the butcher knife and tried to kill Trista.' Piper said silently.

"As I was walking through the second floor, I heard somebody scream, and it...sounded like you." Leo's cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. "I opened the nearest door, and found some couple making-out. I apologized and shut the door tight.

"I moved down the row of rooms until I came to yours. When I walked inside, I heard Dan slap you then say something like, "Don't move, or I'll make this harder on you." I peered my head around the corner so I could watch, and saw him punch you in the stomach twice."

Piper placed her right hand on her stomach, and winced. She knew there were going to be bruises there for a long time. "I couldn't understand why Dan was being so mean to you. He seemed like he would never hurt you; he loves you too much."

Piper caught a glimmer of tear in Leo's eyes, and wanted to cry for him. She understood that he still loved her. All the clues pointed to it. The song playing while she was sleeping, the ugly looks at Dan when he had barged in on them.

Leo took a deep breath and continued. "I used the phone in the hallway to call the police and say to come up to 2D, there was a rape going on. I hung up before I got an answer if anybody was coming, then I sneaked into the family room and jumped on top of Dan.

"Dan growled at me as I pushed him to the floor between you and the coffee table. I caught the beer and alcohol on his breath as he tried to roll over, but I pinned him down. When I was for sure that he had given up, I turned my attention to you, trying to get you to wake up.

"Dan caught me off guard, and pushed me off of him and onto the coffee table. He got up on his knees, grabbed the hair on the back of my head, and pounded my head into the table." Piper suddenly noticed the scars along Leo's forehead and gasped softly to herself.

"That's when the police came. They took Dan and put him under arrest for physical abuse and rape, then called an ambulance for you and me. The rest is all a blur, and I think I fell unconscious in the ambulance. The next thing I knew, I was in the hospital.

"The first thing I did when I woke up was ask where you were. They didn't want me to get out of bed yet, so they wheeled my cart into your room, where you were sleeping. Over the next two days, I found out that you were in a coma and may not wake up."

"What!" Piper interrupted. She looked down at her body. Had she really been in a coma for that long? "How long was I gone?" "Almost five days." Leo answered sadly. "Even after they let me go, I stayed in here everyday and held your hand, praying you would wake up."

Tears started to fall from Piper's eyes. She closed her eyes and turned her head to face the wall opposite Leo. 'He loves me.' Piper thought to herself. 'He sacrificed himself to save me, then sat by me every single minute.' Piper turned and looked into Leo's eyes.

"Piper, you don't understand how much agony I went through watching you just lie there. All you did was breathe. And every minute you became more and more beautiful. I couldn't stand watching you, knowing eventually you would get better and go back to Dan."

"I'm not sure if I'm going back with him or not, but thanks for...saving me, you know?" Piper stuttered. Leo stood up and pushed the chair back against the wall. "I'll just leave you alone for now and go call your sisters."

"Wait, Leo." Leo stopped in the doorway and turned around. "Come here for a second." Leo obeyed, and stood next to Piper's bed. Piper wiggled her index finger, indicating for him to lean closer. Piper closed her eyes and gave Leo a quick, tender kiss on the lips.

Leo's face showed shock, but his eyes were full of love and compassion. He leaned in, and gave Piper a passionate kiss. Piper leaned into it, wanting more, not ready to pull away. This was the thing she had been missing. True love.

"Excuse me." The nurse stepped into the room, and Leo pulled away quickly and shown red. "Sorry, but there is a Prue Halliwell on the line." "I'll talk to her." Leo said. He gave one final glance at Piper, then stepped out of the room with the nurse.
