-Lemar 'Time to Grow'

A Stranger's Love- Chapter 7

"Last night I tried but I couldn't sleep

Thoughts of you were in my head.

I was lonely and I needed you next to me

Life is harder since you left."

'Piper come on let's go!' Paige said.

'Ok ok wait I'm coming.' Piper said as she slipped on her boot and grabbed her bag.

'What took you so long?' Paige asked as she locked the apartment door.

'I had to find my other boot.' Piper said.

'Ahh I see. Thought you were maybe getting all done up for some guy!' Paige smirked.

'No.' Piper said.

'Sure.' Paige said unconvinced.

'I wasn't!' Piper said defensively. That was not what took her so long. What took her so long was that she couldn't face going out to meet Paige's 'guy friends' as she had titled them. She didn't want to meet any men full stop. All the men she had ever known just walked out of her life. Her dad, Noah and lastly Leo. But Leo's leaving had affected her enormously. When her dad left she had only been 5 and well Noah's leaving was inevitable but Leo had left her feeling different. Even thought it had been over 3 months ago she could still remember the moment her life changed forever. She may have sounded dramatic but she felt like it had changed her life forever.

'Piper?' Paige asked. 'You there?'

Piper looked to her sister and smiled. 'Yea sorry. I was just thinking about stuff. Let's go.' She said and they headed out to the taxi that was waiting for them and drove off into the distance.

He watched as she drove off and sighed. With a swift movement of his hand the image disappeared. He had been watching her like this since he had said goodbye to her. Watching her was forbidden but he had already broken a big rule already. He has fallen in love with a charge.

'Leo?' A voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw a fellow Whitelighter.

'Fa what are you doing here?' Leo asked as he went over to her.

'I just came to see how you are.' She asked.

'I'm good. Never better.' He said.

'Leo I have known you your whole life, even when we were alive and even then you were a lousy liar.' Faith said.

'Ok I'm not ok but it's my own fault. I just can't stop thinking about her.' He said and sat down on a white step and Faith sat beside him. 'She is just so beautiful, she made me laugh and smile and she made me feel like I haven't felt since I met Lillian.'

'Leo you know it's against the rules.' Faith said.

'I know Faith. I know. But how was I to know I was going to fall in love with her.' Leo said angrily. 'If I knew that I would of told them to send someone else! But I didn't know that!'

'I know I'm sorry.'

'Yea well so am I.' Leo sighed and stood up, 'I watch her all the time just to hold onto her. I only knew her for such a short time but it feels like I have known her my whole life. When I try to sleep all I see is her smile. I can't sleep sometimes because I wish she was next to me.' He said.

'Leo it's ok.' Faith said supportively.

'No it's not ok! I want her but because of the damn rules I can't have her! Why can't Whitelighters and their charges be together? What is so wrong with it?' He asked.

"So many questions that need an answer.

Two years later you're still on my mind."

Piper sat down beside Paige at the bar and watched as she laughed and joked with her friends. Paige was so confident when it came to men. She was just like Phoebe and like Prue when she was alive. This, along with many, was a quality Piper was jealous of from her sisters. They had always been good around men. She had always been the shy awkward one but that all had changed when she met Noah. She broke out of her shell and everyone saw another side to her.

'Piper?' Paige said.

'Yeah?' She answered.

'Come and meet Jacob, he is dying to meet my single sister!' Paige said and grabbed Piper's arm and pulled her to a group of guys who were standing and talking. 'Jacob this is Piper. Piper this is Jacob. Talk.' She said and left winking at Piper she did so.

'Hey Piper. Paige has told me a lot about you.' Jacob said.

'Hey Jacob and all good I hope?' She asked putting on a front.

'Yes, all admiration to her older sister.' He said and offered her a drink but she declined.

'It was nice talking to you Jake..' She said.

'Jacob.' He corrected her.

'Jacob, it was nice talking to you but I really have to go. Sorry. Bye.' She said and with that she left the club and started walking. She didn't know where she was walking but she couldn't stop her legs. It was like they had a mind of their own. When she stopped she recognised her surroundings. It was the park. She looked around. It looked so different at night. Very peaceful.

"I'm speeding by the place that I met you,

For the ninety seventh time tonight."

She sat down on the bench and looked up to the sky and watched the stars twinkle in their formations. Why does life break in mysterious ways? She didn't know the answer to that question all she knew was that she loved Leo.

I know you must be thinking 'Ok why did she end it there?' But don't worry in the next chapter it will be what you're looking forward too! Ok so what did you think? The lyrics were from 'Time to Grow' by Lemar and 'Someday We'll Know' by Mandy Moore.

Also I have started a new fic! Not sure of the title but it will come to me. I might post the fic in a couple of chapters time. It's no magic and that is all I am saying!
