-'Lost Without Each other' Hanson

A Stranger's Love-Chapter 8

'Piper what are you doing here?' She heard her sister's voice chime in her ear. She looked over to Paige and smiled weakly.

'I just came for a walk, couldn't stand it in there.' She said and turned to look at the stars again.

'Oh.' Paige said and then sat beside Piper on the bench and looked to where she was looking.

'Nice aren't they?' Piper asked Paige.

'Yeah.' Paige said not really sure what Piper was talking about. Ok sure stars were nice, twinkly and fun to make wishes when you are little and innocent but when you're older? They are nothing but burning balls of gas up in the dark sky.

'Let's make a wish.' Piper said.

'Piper, we aren't 4 years old anymore. You know they don't actually work.' Paige said.

'I know but it's nice to pretend.' She smiled and closes her eyes. Paige did the same. 'Ok I made mine.' She giggled.

'Uhh…me too' Paige said and looked back to Piper and saw a tear travel down her cheek. 'Honey what is it?'

'Nothing.' Piper choked out and wiped the tear away. Paige slid over the bench and put her hand on Piper's shoulder.

'What is it?' She asked softly.

Piper looked up to her with red eyes and another tear fell down her cheek. 'I'm in love.' She whispered.

'Honey, you have to move on from Noah.' Paige said and rubbed her shoulder.

'No, not Noah. Someone else.' She said and looked away. Paige didn't understand. What did she mean?

'Who?' She asked.

'I met him about four months ago. He was here on the bench.' She said patting the bench softly. 'We started talking and we had coffee. I would come back everyday and he would be here, waiting. I just kept falling and then one day he told me he had to leave.' She said and wiped her eyes. 'Why did he just leave Paige? Maybe he didn't like me but he was so blunt about it. He never told me the truth I know it.' Paige looked at her sister. She had never seen her so broken up. Even when Noah had left her she wasn't this upset.

'Maybe he had to go out of the country.' Paige said and took her hand.

'No. There was something else. I know it.' She said. Paige wasn't sure what else to say so she just hugged her sister and kissed her head.

'It will be ok Piper.' She whispered to her head.

'I know. I have never felt this way about anyone I hardly know.' She said sounding slightly worried.

'I know but don't worry. It will be ok. Let's go home.' Paige said.

'No. I want to stay here for a minute or two. You go on. I'll be home later.' She said. She looked at her sister's face. 'Don't worry. I'll back. Thank you.' She said and kissed her sisters cheek. 'Love you.'

'Love you too.' Paige said and then stood up and began to walk away, looking back a few times to check on Piper.

'Leo…' Piper whispered.

"I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper in love.

Yet I'm feeling I'm more and more and more and more and more alone"

'Piper.' She heard her name and turned around. Her heart jumped to her throat and she caught her breath. Was it really him? Was she dreaming?

'Leo?' She whispered.

'It's me.' He said. She got up and walked to him and fell in his arms. He held her tightly and kissed her head. She held her head up to him and they kissed softly. The passion of 3 months built up into one kiss.

'You came back.' Piper said breathlessly. He held his hand to her cheek and she leant into it closing her eyes as his thumb caressed her cheek. She put her hand on top of his hand, relishing in his touch.

'I couldn't stay away.' He whispered back. He kissed her once more and then he held her once again not wanting to ever let her go.

'Stay with me tonight.' She whispered.

'Ok.' He whispered back and laced his fingers in hers and began to walk back to her apartment.

Told you he'd be back! Did you like it? I know it was short but I wanted this chapter to just be him coming back. The next chapter will be slightly longer and about whether Leo will tell her what he really is. Please review and tell me what YOU think. Lyrics from 'Deeper' by Hanson. Molly xXx
