AN: I'm back...guess who's back...back again...I'm back...hehe sorry just really happy that my summer's finally starting cause I just finished summerschool last week ahhh chyeaaa :) anywho enuff with my boring life SPECIAL THANKS:

LostWitch5: Yea I know but hopefully it'll clear up by the end of the story, basically the chapters so far with the exception of chapter 1, are memories of Piper and Leo and they jump around everywhere, they're kinda just flashes of random important moments of their lives together and they don't really have any connection with eachother since they're just random flashes of memories. Hopefully that helps, chapter 1 is kinda the 'trigger' chapter, it's what triggers Leo to think and look back on their friendship. :) Thanks for reviewing and i'm glad you like it :D

piper&leo4ever: aww thank you :) you're so sweet :D. Yea what happens in chapter one with be built on throughout the story and hopefully it'll all make sense in the end :)

NOW on with the story:)

Chapter 5: I'll Always be There for you

She let the tears fall, fall on cheeks, fall on her shirt, fall on her jeans, she didn't care, she just let them fall. The floor of the treehouse felt cold even though it was in the middle of July, the warm breeze sent shivers down her spine even though there was a heat wave. She felt numb, empty inside. Outside the sky was slowing darkening as the sunset behind the horizon, she must have been here for hours, but.she.didn't.c a r e. She needed to be alone, she needed to cry. Slowly she heard steps approaching, as someone began to climb the wooden ladder. The person entered the small but special treehouse, and sat down next to her.

"Hey" he said sofly, grabbing on to her left hand and wrapping a strong arm around her.

'Leo' Piper thought, no doubt about that, they were the only two people who came here anyways. It was their spot. Ever since her tenth birthday, which seemed like years and years ago even though it was only two.

The two of the them just sat there, him holding on to her. Slowly rocking her back and forth, comforting her. "It's ok..." he whispered softly.

"No it's not" she cried sobbing into his chest. "How can it be?" she whispered

Leo closed his eyes and held on to her shaking body, wishing he could take away her pain. He hated seeing her like this, he hated seeing her cry, seeing her suffer. It killed him.

"What's gonna happen to us Leo? What's gonna happen to my sisters?" she cried, choking on her tears. Her voice was shaking, he could feel her fear. "Who's gonna take care of us now?"

Leo didn't know, he didn't know, what to say, what to do, all he knew was that she needed him, and that he would always be there for her no matter what. "I'll take care of you..." he whispered.

"I know you will" she whispered back.

The two twelve year old friends sat in the darkness, in the silence, holding on to eachother. The sun had fully set by now, the stars and the moon had begun to shine. The only things that were making sound were mother nature and their soft breathing.

"I don't wanna go tomorrow..." she said finally, breaking the eternal silence.

Leo sighed, he knew what tomorow was, she didn't need to say, the funeral. She had been dreading it all week. When she had first learned of what happened to Grams, she had been shock, she didn't know how to react, what to do, she was lost, lost within her emotions, angry, sad, distressed, she was in denial. She was lost within herself. Her sisters had been quick to react, weeping like there was no tomorrow, they all weeped, except for Piper. Their sister's strange response had puzzled Prue, Phoebe and Paige. But Leo knew why, she was still processing the news, she was in denial. But now, finally, the day before the funeral, she finally b r o k e. She cracked, into a million little pieces, with no knowledge of how to put herself back together again.

"I can't go tomorrow...I can't say goodbye...not yet...I don't want to..."

"It's ok Pepper...I'll be here for you..." he assured. "..No matter what...I'll always be here for you..."

Piper sighed. Finally. She sighed with relief. Those were the words she needed to hear. "I'll always be here for you..." Those were the words. The words she needed to hear. She grabbed Leo's hand tightly, and she knew, she was safe.

AN: Updates soon :D Hope you liked it :)
