Chapter 10
Jack was in an excellent mood when he woke up that morning. Bobby had already gone down to have breakfast by the time Jacks alarm clock radio went off. He jumped out of bed and went to take a shower. Since he had neglected to do that before he went to sleep in his clothes.
When he got back in the room he put on his favorite boxers. And then he put on his favorite song. 'La La' by Ashlee Simpson. Actually it was Chris' CD. At first he didn't like the CD. But Chris convinced him to give it a chance. Jack ended up liking the CD. Most of the songs made him think of Chris.
Chris was the only person in the world who made him want to La La whatever in the hell that meant. Jack was totally rocking out forgetting that the door was open.
"You can dress me up in diamonds, you can dress me up in dirt, you can throw me like a line-man, I like it better when it hurts," Jack sang into a hair brush he was using as microphone.
"You make me wanna La la in the kitchen on the floor, I'll be your French maid when I meet you at the door I'm like an alley cat drink the milk up I want more, you make me wanna you make me wanna scream." Jack sang with his eyes shut tight gyrating to the angsty rock beat.
He realized someone was watching him and he immediately stopped his motions and looked toward the door, to see his mother standing there. Jack turned off the music and looked at her embarrassed that she had caught his little show.
She laughed again.
"This person who makes you want to "La la" wouldn't happen to be a boy named Chris would he?" His mother said cocking an eyebrow.
Jack was so mad then he knew Bobby had spilled the beans.
"So Bobby told you?" Jack asked annoyed.
"Bobby knows?" She said looking confused.
"He didn't tell you?" Jack asked.
"No," Grace answered shaking her curly head.
"How'd you guess?" Jack asked.
"It's so obvious. You've done a complete 180 from dark and brooding Jack the point where you're…. dancing? La la ing all over the place." Grace said.
As soon as his previous blush had subsided her comment caused him to redden once more.
"You're not shocked?" Jack asked.
"No." She said way too nonchalant for his liking.
"You knew all along didn't you?" He asked.
She nodded.
"I knew that you were fooling around with Matt. I saw the condoms under your bed that kept disappearing. He was always over you were always with him and I put two and two together." She said.
"Does everyone know where I keep the condoms in MY room?" Jack asked.
"Yes." Said Bobby as he sidestepped their mother and came in the room.
"So you guys are having the talk about Jack's new lover." Bobby said waggling his eyebrows.
"I just came to get my stuff." He said picking up a notebook and heading back downstairs.
"I'm glad you're being careful, using condoms and all but I want you to be careful in another way as well. I know why you stopped hanging out with Matt and I hope that doesn't happen again with Chris." Grace said.
"How do you know what happened?" Jack asked.
"That boy was in love with you and everybody knew it. I just don't think you felt the same way about him. You can't use people Jack. It doesn't matter what kind of relationship you're in, you cannot be so cavalier with other people's hearts." His mother said.
"I love Chris and he loves me. I would never put him through what I put Matt through. I hated myself for doing what I did but I was scared. I thought we were going to be friends with benefits and that was all and then he told me he was in love with me, and I freaked out okay!" Jack said trying not to shout.
"You had sex with him! Of course he is going to feel like there is some emotional attachment there." Grace said loudly.
"Mom I don't have time for a lecture," Jack said rolling his eyes.
"I didn't mean to get into this with you. I'm sorry. I just want you to be careful. We should have talked about this a long time ago. But I knew you would be uncomfortable so I didn't bring it up, be safe and be happy." She said and with that she was walking down stairs leaving Jack to wonder, who was that woman and what did she do with his mother.
Jack sighed it was going to be a long day.
"Chris, you know you can always lie down on the couch and sleep it off. You don't have to go rushing back so soon," Piper said.
"I've gotta get back I've got a test tomorrow actually today in History. If I don't show that bitch is gonna flunk me for sure." Chris said and then he was immediately sorry he cursed in front of his Mom.
"Sorry." He said.
"I would have been madder if you called her a witch." Piper said, as she climbed the last of the attic stairs, Chris was close on her heels.
"You got any idea what kind of demon we're dealing with?" Chris asked.
He was still very intoxicated but he wanted to get the skinny on the demon that just attacked.
"I will as soon as I take a look at the book. Phoebe and I can handle it if some more of them decide to attack, you don't have to stick around and protect us." Piper said.
"Well, it's my fault you're down a sister right now I'm the one who got her drunk. Without the Power of Three you guys are sitting ducks." Chris said.
"And what about your kids? Did you think of them?" He added.
"You guys are safe and with the elf nanny. Wyatt's force field will be enough to protect you," Piper said.
"That's not what I meant." Chris said.
"Look you're drunk how much help are you gonna be in a fight and if worse comes to worse I can always call Leo." Piper said.
"He's always an orb away but he's never here." Chris said.
"He's going through a lot right now, if you talked to him every once and a while you'd see that." Piper said flipping through the book.
"You always defend him." Chris accused.
"I do not." She said.
"Yeah you do, you never take my side." Chris said.
"That is so not true." Piper argued.
"I'm the one who is from the future remember! You have no idea what my life was like there without you, you have no idea what he did to me! All I want you to do is be careful so it won't happen again alright!" Chris shouted before he could stop himself.
Much to his surprise the light fixture above their heads exploded.
What was once a simple argument with undertones of drunken worry had now become something else. Chris TKed the broken glass over into a wastebasket in the corner before it fell.
"Did you do that?" Piper asked.
Chris nodded.
"Yay! I passed on a power!" She said.
Chris closed his eyes and concentrated hard on keeping his power under control. He was just glad that there was only a small explosion this time.
It wasn't quite her power but he let her believe that. He didn't want to tell her the dark truth. Chris had long ago discovered accidentally that he had a very lethal and destructive power. He had only tapped into it once when Wyatt invited some of his demon friends over for a gang bang and he ending up completely destroying the basement cracking the foundation of the house and killing six demons in his wake.
He swore to himself that he would never willingly use that power again even it would save him. He didn't like the way it felt. Wyatt had been slightly more pissed about Chris killing off his followers than he was about the house, Wyatt waved his hand quickly repaired the structural damage to the house and then immediately went to see a sorcerer about some potions.
"Chris?" Piper asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine seriously." Chris said praying he wouldn't blow up anything else.
He was usually pretty good about keeping his power under wraps.
"I gotta get going anyways." Chris said.
"Let me make you some breakfast. I will deal with the demons later." Piper said.
"Okay. My first four classes are lame anyway." Chris said as he followed his mother downstairs.
"While I make you something to eat. Let's talk about what you said up stairs, does Leo hurt you in the future?" Piper asked once they got to the kitchen.
"No he just wasn't around." Chris said.
"Who hurt you?" Piper asked.
"Mom I really don't want to talk about it." Chris said.
"Well when you get ready. I'll be here," Piper said as she started to make breakfast.
Chris grabbed the bottle of Bacardi Sliver that Paige had brought from P3 and took a big swig from it while Piper wasn't looking.
"I saw that." Piper said as she put toast in the toaster.
"What?" Chris asked feigning innocence.
"You are not going to school drunk." She said.
"First of all I am not drunk. Second of all if I don't I'll flunk History. And finally, my boyfriend will be very mad at me if I don't show up at all. Where's my phone anyway. He's probably called me." Chris asked.
"Is this it?" She asked handing him the flip phone that was on the counter, it looked like his so he just slipped it in his pocket just as Phoebe came down the stairs with baby Wyatt on her hip.
"Look who woke up." She said putting him down in the playpen, "I got to go get one more." Phoebe said in an annoyingly high pitched voice.
Chris groaned and took another long swig of Bacardi. It was going to be a long day.
