Note: This is the day after Piper's confession. The doctors released her right after she confessed, so now she isn't staying at the hospital anymore.

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind

Piper sighed as she leaned against the windowsill. Rain trickled down the window in large drops, mimicking Piper's mood. She had confessed her heart to Leo the day before, and now she didn't know what was going to happen.

Absentmindedly, Piper traced her finger along the fogged window. She soon found herself spelling "I love you". Piper ran her hand over the words and sat down on the chair by Leo's bed. She looked at Leo, lying peacefully in his bed.

'It's all your fault, you know.' A voice told Piper. 'You're the reason that he's in here. You kept Trista from Leo and Dan and you tried pushing Leo away because you didn't think you could be together. It's all your fault, just accept it.'

"Just stop it!" Piper screamed, putting her hands over her ears. "Get out of my head! It's not my fault! It's not my fault! It's not my fault!" Tears started to trickle down Piper's face. She fell face first into her crossed arms on Leo's bed.

Then your voice calls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer, somewhere.
I couldn't see that it was right there,

But now I know what I didn't know.

"P-piper?" A voice croaked. Piper lifted her head and looked into Leo's eyes. Piper stood up fast and knocked her chair over. She sat down on the edge of Leo's bed, pushed her hair behind her ear, and kissed him passionately.

Both of them pulled away slowly. "So, um, how did you…" Piper started. "It's kind of a long story," Leo answered. "But I heard what you were telling me before, about Trista being my daughter." "You heard that?" Piper asked, looking down at the bed.

"Yes, I did." Leo answered, tilting Piper's chin up. "I wanted you to know that I understand." "See, I don't know if you really do, Leo." Piper stated. "I may love you, but I've already agreed to be with Dan, and I…I can't tell him no."

Leo's felt his body shatter into a million pieces. "Piper, Trista is our daughter. She doesn't belong with you and Dan. We all belong together and Dan belongs where he is now; in jail. How can you want to marry him after everything he's put you through?"

"It's not that simple, Leo. I can't just tell Dan I want to be with you. We're already planning everything and it can't stop." "No, Piper, it's not that difficult. You don't deserve Dan!" Piper stood up with her back to Leo.

"I'm sorry that you can't accept Dan and me. I don't know if he'll let me invite you to the wedding. If we do, try not to embarrass yourself." Piper walked out of the room without another word. Leo started to call Piper back but he couldn't. Soon tears silently slipped down his cheeks.

Piper walked into the police station. "May I help you, ma'am?" The officer at the front desk asked. "I'm hear to bail Dan Gordon out of jail." Piper answered. She wiped away a tear that was threatening to fall from her eye.

"And you would be…?" The officer questioned. "Piper Halliwell. I'm his fiancé." Piper explained. The officer nodded. "If you'll just wait here I'll go get him." The officer stepped into a back room. Moments later he came back with Dan.

The officer unlocked Dan's handcuffs. Dan rushed to Piper and pulled her into a hug. "Oh, Piper, I'm so glad your okay!" Dan exclaimed. Piper started to push Dan away, but Dan pinched the back of Piper's leg. "Play along or you're dead." He whispered.

"I'm fine, sweetie." Piper forced out. "I got away from him before he could do anything." "Who did you get away from?" The officer asked suddenly. "Some guy who has been stealing Piper away from me and threatening to rape her." Dan said, slipping his arm around Piper's waist.

Piper mentally slapped herself. "Would you care to give me his name? We can go search his place and ask him some questions." "You found something with his name in it, didn't you honey?" Dan asked. Piper started to shake her head, but Dan pinched the back of Piper's leg again.

"I think it's…" Piper stopped. She couldn't tell them. But if she said the wrong name, Dan would pull something worse than rapping her. "Leo Wyatt. That's the name I found in his planner. It could be his friends or something, but…"

"That's okay. Right now, though, I need you to deal with Dan's bail so you two are free to go home." Piper nodded. She spent the next ten minutes filling out paperwork. "Okay, that's it. I'll send squad cars first thing in the morning to inspect this man's place."

"Thank you very much, sir." Dan said. He took Piper's hand and half led, half pulled her out to her car. Piper started to get in but Dan shut the door and pushed Piper up against the car. Piper tried pushing Dan off of her but he slapped her across the face.

"Stop squirming. Now that we've got the spotlight on Wyatt, it's time to go make him guilty. We'll put some evidence in his house to make it look like he's been planning to rape you. Now either you're with me or you're dead."

Dan's breath was hot against Piper's face. "Dan, I…" Dan pushed himself harder against Piper. Piper closed her eyes. She couldn't hurt Leo. She had already put him through enough with Trista. "So?" Dan questioned.

"Fine, I'll do it." Piper gasped. "Now will you get off me?" Dan glared at her, then slowly took all of his weight off of her. Piper breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Dan grabbed something out of his pocket. Piper's heart started beating like a drum.

Dan held a small pocketknife to Piper's neck. "Now, drive me to Leo's house, or this goes through your neck." Dan threatened. Piper quickly got in the car. Dan walked around the front and got into the passenger seat.

Ten minutes later, Piper pulled into Leo's driveway. She started to get out, but Dan poked the knife into Piper's shoulder, causing a small cut to appear. "You're not going anywhere. I can't risk you messing with my plans. You stay in here. If you're not here when I get back, I will hunt you."

Dan got out of the car and knocked on the front door. When no one answered, he punched through the glass window and fiddled around with the lock inside. The lock clicked, and Dan pulled his hand out and stepped inside, closing the door behind him.

Piper leaned back into her chair and closed her eyes. 'This is all a mistake.' Piper thought to herself. She put her hand up to her face and closed her eyes. "I shouldn't be here with Dan. None of this should be happening."

The scene at the hospital ran over and over through Piper's mind. Leo had looked so hurt when she told him she still was going to marry Dan. She knew everything she had said was a lie. It wasn't that she was committed to Dan. She was afraid of him.

Piper looked down at her shoulder, where blood was starting to trickle out from under the short sleeve shirt she was wearing. Piper wiped it away, but seconds later it returned. She grabbed a tissue out of her purse and held it to the cut.

"I can't believe that this is really happening." Piper muttered to herself. The wind blew outside, knocking a branch up against Piper's window. She jumped in the air and yelped. Once she saw that it was only a branch, she tried to calm herself.

"I shouldn't have lied to Leo." Piper told herself. "I should have told him the truth. I'm deathly scared of Dan, and that's why I can't be with Leo. I don't know what he's capable of. If he hurts Leo or Trista…I could never forgive myself.

Minutes later, Dan returned with an evil grin on his face. He climbed into the car. "Now, let's go home and celebrate our victory." Dan laughed. Piper's eyes became wild in fear. "No, Dan, please, no!" Piper pleaded.

Dan held the knife up to Piper's neck again. "Aw, come on baby, there's nothing to be afraid of." Piper tilted her head away from the knife. Dan smacked Piper over her head, and she immediately plunged into darkness.

A/n: No idea how that idea came to me. I just kept writing, and that's what came out. I hope you all like it. Plz review. Oh, and I'm still not going to tell you if Leo's a whitelighter or not. He he!
