-'Angel's Calling' Rooster

A Stranger's Love- Chapter 10

'Ooh glowy Piper!' Phoebe said as Piper walked in the door of her sister's house. Piper simply smiled. 'Why the glow?'

'No reason.' Piper said and walked to the living room.

'She's got a guy.' Paige said as she bounded down the stairs.

'Pardon?' Phoebe asked and went to sit beside Piper. 'A guy?'

'Paige!' Piper said and gave her a glare. Paige just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. 'Yes I have a guy.'

'Oh spill it sister.'

'Fine. His names Leo and I met him over a month ago. He is very sweet and kind.' Piper said and smiled.

'Leo, good name. But where did you meet him? What have you guys done?' Phoebe asked nudging for more information on her sisters new beau.

'Well I met him at the park and we started talking and things went from there. And Phoebe I am not telling you if we've done anything.' She said and went red.

'Oh you so have!' Paige said and winked at Piper.

'Ok so maybe we have but I'm not 16 years old anymore so I do not need to tell you everything.'

'Ok sorry we were just being nosey. But if a girl can't ask her sister that what can she ask her?' Phoebe said and grinned. Piper hit her arm playfully and then sighed.

'So how's Cole?' She asked.

'He's fine. Better then ever actually.' She said and beamed.

'Oooo.' Piper giggled.

'Yeah, better isn't the word.' Paige said rolling her eyes.

'Oh Paige when you're not getting any you are one cranky sister!' Piper laughed. Phoebe just smiled at her baby sister.

'Aww sweetie don't be jealous. Someday you'll find your guy.' Phoebe said and went over and hugged her.

'It's not that that I was rolling my eyes at. But never mind.' Paige said and hugged her sister back.

'Oh…ewww.' Piper said and her face contorted into a 'grossed out' look. Phoebe laughed again. The three sisters then all burst out laughing and went over to the couch that Piper was sitting on and hugged.

He sighed as he looked down at the fast-moving cars speeding along the bridge. They sped in both directions, to him they looked like small blurs but to passers by they were large vehicles that could get you from place to place. It seemed so easy, a invention used to get you here and there in a short time. He shook his head slightly wishing his life was as simple. But no, life for a Whitelighter was hard. You had to be up at all hours, be willing to go to a charge in need and be able to love any of your charges. But mostly you have to be able to control your feelings but he, he was unable to do so. He had fallen in love with her. He'd decided to come up to the Golden Gate Bridge to think and watch the city. He usually came up here to clear his head and to think about things and he thought today would be no different. But the only thoughts clouding his mind were of her. Her smile, her laugh and her soft, silky hair. Everything about her was perfect.

'Get a grip of yourself!' He told himself. 'It's just a woman.' But no she wasn't just some girl. She was Piper Halliwell. The woman of his dreams you could say. She illuminated so much beauty that she could light up a room just by making her presence known.

'Dear Piper.' He said out loud in thought. He sat down on the metallic bridge and put his pen to paper.

'Leo are you still here?' Piper shouted as she shut the door to her apartment. She had told Leo that he could stay at her place until she came back from her sisters. She knew she would only be 30 minutes or so but she didn't know whether he would stay. Before she had left he had been acting odd. He was telling her that if they never saw one another again that she would be ok. She would be able to move on. She hadn't understand why he was saying it but now, now she had a bad feeling. Was he basically saying Good bye?

'No he wouldn't just leave.' She told herself. She looked around the small apartment lounge taking in the scene. It somehow felt different. Something was different. She then noticed a small vase sitting on the small marble table in front of the couch. There was an envelope placed in front of the vase. She walked cautiously to the table and then with a shaking hand she picked the envelope up. It had her name on it. She gently ripped the seal and then brought out the supposed letter. Her eyes travelled from side to side as she read each word.

Dear Piper,

By the time you read this I will have gone. I guess writing a letter is a cowardly way out of things and in some ways it is but in some ways it is more meaningful. Yes you can put words and thoughts onto paper but you can't show physical feelings. I decided to write you a letter instead of delivering what I am telling you in person because I didn't want to make it any harder for either of us. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I want you to know that. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. The moment I met you I knew you were perfect. The moment I saw your beautiful eyes I fell for you. I couldn't take my gaze of you when you were sleeping in my arms. You looked so radiant. Every time I think of you I see your glowing smile and your brown eyes that could light up a room.

The thought of leaving you is killing me. I never wanted it to be this way. I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life. I know I have only known you for a short time but I feel as if I have known you forever. In a way I have.

I don't want to have to say goodbye but it is for the best. I can't tell you why I'm leaving, you wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway. Please just don't ever forget me, but move on with your life. There is someone out there for you; I was just a guide to show you that love still exists.

Good bye.

Always, Leo

Her trembling hands let the letter slip out of her fingers. Her heart began to thump in her chest, the sound reverberating around the room. He had just left without allowing her to say goodbye. Why?

Ok I know…bad place to stop but oh well…sure me. It is actually a stupid place to stop. But sorry. Please review! Molly xXx
