Chapter 4: The race

Since that day, Piper was very nervous about the race and Prue and Phoebe were planning all the time how is she going to get Leo by her side. From their planning Piper was even more nervous.

Girls were having dinner together with Grams. Piper was very quiet and Phoebe was talking about what should Piper dress, Prue was talking how she should behave.

The more they talked, the more pIper got quiet and she was just staring at her plate.

"I think that you should try my blue short dress for race", said Phoebe and Prue added:

"And try to smile and talk to him him. Dont get lost."

Piper sighed:

"Phoebe, Prue, I appreciate your care, bt can we, please, drop that subject?"

"Piper, honey, maybe they are right", started Grams, but Piper drop a spoon and ran to her room:

"Just leave me alone!", she yelled and locked her doors.

Her eyes went to picture on her desk. Her parents with her as a baby.

She wiped her tears away and took phone. She dialed a number.

"Hello?", Victor, Pipers father picked up the phone.

"Daddy?", cried Piper.

"Piper?", Victors voice went concerned when he heard his daughter crying "Piper, honey, whats wrong? Is it Prue or Phoebe? Or your Grandma?"

"No", cried Piper "It is about Leo, Daddy."

"The boy you were writing to me about?"

"Aha", confirmed Piper through tears.

"What about Leo, sweety? Calm down, honey, it will be fine. Just tell me everything."

Piper wiped her tears away and said everything to her Dad. Victor listened her acrefully, without interrupting her. When she finished, Victor said:

"Piper, honey, listen to me. Do not change yourself unless you want it."

"But Prue and P…"

"Your sisters and Grandma do not always have right, honey. You are very special person and Leo obviously saw it. Wear what YOU want, behave like YOU think is right. Listen to your heart, Piper. You were always the most sensitive, but also the biggest lady, very classy. And, it is very beautifull. It is not necessary to be genius in short skirt to drive some attention from men. Remember that on that race. Okay?
"Okay.", Piper was very much relieved and did not cried anymore "Thanks, Daddy."

"You are welcome, sweetheart."

The day finally came. Girls went on race not grumbling about Pipers long jeans-skirt and red T-shirt with short sleeves.

They sat on benches and Piper saw Leo near his car – he was also wearing red T – shirt and he had jeans on! They both saw similarity and smile to each other.

"Go!", whispered Prue "Go, wish him luck!"

Piper took deep breath and went down the stairs. She came to Leo and said:

"Hey!"

He smiled so warm to her and said:

"Hey, Piper! I am so glad that…", but he did not had a chance to finish the sentence cause Kim showed up.

"Leo!", eclaimed Kim "I brought you something!", she gave him a dollar "It is my lucky dollar! I want you to have it so it will bring you luck!"

Piper felt tears in her eyes, so she turned around and walked away. Leo wanted to stop her, but Kim did not allowed him. She was just talking and talking. Leos smile disappeared and his heart ached.

Piper went back on the bench.

"What was that all about?", asked Prue.

"She gave him her lucky dollar", whispered Piper. Prue hugged her and Phoebe said, holding Pipers hand:

"A dollar? A DOLLAR! Oooooh, how original! She could also gave him piece of her shit as a luck medallion!"

Prue ws on the edge of laughing, but did not wanted to laugh cause of Piper. But, Piper bursted in laugh:

"Phoebe! You are genius!

Leo was already in his car so he did not saw them. He was sooo mad cause Kim showed up and ruined everything.

Gun fired and race started. Sisters stood up and started to yell:"Go, Leo!You can do it! Come on! Leo, Leo, Leo!"

Unfortunately, Leo was already too far away to hear or see them and he was lost in his thoughts. He was sooo mad at Kim for showing up than! Why?

His attention was not full on the road. Why did not he ran to stop Piper? Doesnt matter for Kim standing there! But, leo had good manners and that was the reason. But, now, his heart was bleeding.

"Oh, Piper", he whispered and felt tears in his eyes. From anger he hit the steering wheel. Just or a second he drop the steering wheel and all happened so fast! Car started to rush left and right! Leo tried to push the breaks, but than he hit the rock and fell in canyon! Everything went black for him…

Cars past first circle and drove through start. All except Leos.

"Thats strange", said Phoebe.

They waited for few more minutes.

"It is not possible that he needs so much time. He is a good driver", said Prue.

Pipers face was pale. In that moment, Kim showed up in front of her.

"Piper", said Kim "I will be short. Leave Leo, he is mine! Do you understand? And he loves me!"

Piper could not react cause voice from speaker said:

"We just got information that Leo Wyatt dropped in canyon. We do not know how is his condition. We have called an ambulance and they are on their way here…"

Piper screamed:

"NOOOOOO! LEEEOO, NOOOO!", she grabed car keys from Prues purse and ran toward car.

"Piper, no!", screamed Prue and her and Phoebe ran to catch up Piper.

"Piper, do not do this! You will get hurted!", yelled Phoebe.

But, Piper did not payed attention! She sat in the car and rushed toward canyon.

"Please, God, do not let him die", prayed Piper silently.
