CRY'S OF A CHILD 12.
True loves never dies.
After the accident, Piper was badly injured. She was placed in the ICU. She had broken ribs and
could be paralyzed for life. Leo felt really sorry. As Piper didn't bring her ID with her, her family
wasn't contact. Magic seems to be cut off. Nobody could sense Piper. Therefore it's up to the
police to get her family. Meanwhile Leo took cared of her. Leo called his office at New York and
cancelled his flight. He wants to be responsible for Piper. Leo still did not know her name until a
small card felt out. It's a birthday card for Leo. It was dated a year ago. Piper did not forget Leo.
She engaged with Dan because Dan had treated her well and she didn't want to disappoint him.
Dear Leo,
Happy birthday. Where are you? I just want to tell you that there is always a family here waiting for you. I meant your boys, your daughter whom I guessed you never got a chance to know her and me. Love you and missed you, Piper.
Leo felt so strange. It's like the letter was for him but he clearly knows that it is not him. "So,
your name is Piper", Leo said to Piper who is still weak. After a few weeks, Piper finally woke up.
Leo was lying on her. He had accompanied Piper all this time. Piper moved and Leo woke up.
"Sorry, did I wake you up?", Piper said weakly. "No, you are finally awake. How are you
feeling?", Leo asked. "Thanks for your concern. Have you been here all these time?", Piper
asked. "Yes. I felt I have to be responsible of what happened to you. I should have calm down.
Nothing would have happen then.", Leo regretted. "No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have jumped
into conclusion. You looked so much like him. It's as though as you were him", Piper said. "Never
mine, it's the past and let me make it up for you. Have some water", Leo passed her a cup of
water. Piper couldn't grab the cup properly, she dropped it. Leo's shirt got wet. He tried to wipe
it. So does Piper. They touched each other hands by accident. They stared at each other.
Suddenly, they let go of each other quick and apologized. After sometime, Piper was finally
feeling better. Leo accompanied her everyday and they begin to like each other. That night, Leo
was talking to Piper and they were enjoying themselves. It was Piper last night at the hospital.
After that they will be going on with their own life. Piper didn't tell her family that she was
admitted to the hospital. She lied that she had something important to do and will not be back
any sooner. She didn't want them to be worried. That night, Leo made a nice candle light dinner
for Piper. They dance and enjoyed themselves. Suddenly they stopped and Leo gazed into her
beautiful eyes. They went nearer to each other and this time, they did not pull off. They kissed.
Leo never kissed Lillian before even if she tries, Leo will reject her. The kiss continued with Piper
unbuttons Leo's shirt and Leo helping Piper out from her shirt. They continued and that night,
they slept together. The next morning, Piper woke up and felt the warm, cozy feeling Leo gave
her. It has been long since she felt that. Leo opened his eyes and he saw Piper beside him. He
did had a great time but he is married. He needs to be responsible too. "It's okay. We both had a
great night and I am glad, we did. I don't mine. I understand your situation", Piper said. Piper
felt Leo's dilemma and she wouldn't want Leo to feel bad. So she let go. "Piper, I am truly sorry",
Leo said. "Love is not a guild. You don't need to be sorry for that. I love you, you are my Leo",
Piper said. "I love you too but I can't be with you. We will not have a future. You have a fiancé
and I am married", Leo said. "We will go separate ways and may not see each other again. Good
bye, my love", Piper said. Then she left. Leo just stands there, stunned. He doesn't know what to
do. He loves her and that is a fact. He is married and that is a fact too. Piper left with tears on
her face. She wants Leo back. She is lying to herself that she loves Dan. She is just hunger for
love and care. Leo gave her those until the Elders broke them up. "Must I chase her or stay here
and regret later? What must I do?", Leo thought. He chose her. He ran after her. "Piper, wait for
me. I want to be with you. I love you!", Leo yelled.
Author's Notes: That is how Leo felt….Will they be back together and fight all consequences?
