Chapter Five – Because of You
Wyatt orbed into the Sunroom of the Halliwell manor. He looked around, it was still night. He had not grown much in the past year, but still the blonde hair, muscular Wyatt stood in the sunroom with a Green Shirt, shorts and sandals. He put his duffle and backpack on the floor. He then heard someone walking downstairs.
"Hello?" Said a voice, Wyatt began to walk out into the hallway of the manor. He saw his mother with her hair put up and in a blue night robe.
"Wyatt." She said, "Oh wow." They embraced each other and Wyatt gave his mother a kiss on the cheek.
"How are you?" Piper asked as they walked into the kitchen.
"I am really good. Survived my first quarter at Chapman University." He said taking a seat at the table Piper pulled down two cups and poured fresh brewed coffee into them. She then walked over and joined her son at the table. Wyatt took the cup and drank deeply from it.
"I am glad to hear it." Piper said with a smile, "Have you decided on a major yet?"
Wyatt put the cup down, "I am thinking about Journalism, cause that internship that Aunt Phoebe gave for me at the paper last summer really intrigued me on writing.".
Piper smiled. "I was hoping, you do something with your talent with writing. You get that from Leo's side."
"Really?"
"Yeah, he always use to write me some of the romantic poems, make you wanna melt." She said with a smile, "I think they're up in the attic, if they haven't gotten blown up yet." She said with less emotion.
Wyatt laughed. "How's Chris?"
"That's interesting, cause I have no idea."
"What?"
"He's been weird lately. He's not eating, he's not talking much, and the only time I see him is when he's coming and going. I swear he's lost more weight."
"Is that possible? Kid is already bone thin."
"I know. He misses
you though, I know he does."
"I miss him too." Wyatt said
drinking from his cup, "I got him this Book on London, he still
into that stuff?"
"I have no idea. I hope he is, cause Paige is gonna surprise him with a trip to London for Spring Break." Piper said drinking from her cup.
"Oh wow. Where did she get the money for that?" He asked.
"She went back into Social Work. She's been doing it ever since you left."
"OH that's awesome!"
They both heard the front door open and close. "Hello?" yelled a voice. As Wyatt turned around, he saw his Aunt Paige walk into the kitchen, but not in the laid back clothing he normally he saw, she was dressed in a black suit.
"Wyatt, Sweetie!" Paige said as she embraced her nephew. "Oh wow, it's such an amazing surprise. How are you? How is college?"
"Good to see you too. I am good, College is stressful." Wyatt said, "How are you, mom just told me you went back into Social Work."
"Did she?" Paige said looking at Piper.
"I did." Piper replied who had gotten up and now giving Paige a cup of coffee in which Piper had put creamer into.
"Oh thank you I need this. I have so many legal forms to go over. I didn't like Cole, but he was good for some things." Paige said
"Uh huh." Piper said sitting back down.
"How's the family been, besides what Mom said about Chris." Wyatt asked.
"Oh just fine." Piper said drinking from her cup.
"Mel is a cheerleader now." Paige said smiling.
Wyatt nearly choked on his coffee as it went down his throat. "She's a cheerleader! She's only like-"
"Twelve, yea I know."
Piper replied.
"I don't know, Phoebe was happy for her, she
went out and bought her all this stuff."
"Ha!" Wyatt said sipping his coffee once more. Then they all heard the door open and close.
"I know who that is."
Wyatt said getting up. He walked through dinning room and saw Chris
hanging his jacket on the coat rack. Wyatt saw his little brother who
had gotten taller, thinner and his hair had gotten longer. Wyatt
stood by the stairs.
"Like the hair."
Chris looked up and saw
his older brother. Wyatt stood leaning against the door into the
dinning room. Chris walked over and embraced Wyatt in a hug. Wyatt
hugged him back.
"Hi." Chris said letting go of the hug.
Wyatt looked into Chris pale green eyes, and the dark circles that
haunted below them. His skin looked pale and aged.
"Chris are you feeling okay?" Wyatt said putting his hand on his forehead to feel if he had a temp. Before Wyatt touched Chris' forehead, Chris use his telekinesis powers and threw Wyatt from the stairs and into a table smashing through, his body smacked against the wall, and a mirror fell on top of Wyatt shattering over him. Stabbing him in his leg. Wyatt screamed in pain. Chris was then shocked into reality. What the hell did he just do? Wyatt? What did I do? I never used my powers on Wyatt? What the hell?
Piper and Paige came running into the room. Chris was looking at his hands as tears were developing in his eyes. Piper and Paige then looked over and saw Wyatt on the floor, the table was in pieces, shattered glass everywhere and blood dripping from Wyatt's leg. He screamed again.
"OH MY GOD!" Piper
screamed.
The two sisters ran over and aided Wyatt. Wyatt was to
blinded by the pain to move. Paige put her hand out and called for
the piece of glass. It came to her. Wyatt screamed as the piece of
glass was orbed out from his leg. Wyatt was breathing heavily as his
leg was pouring blood out. Before Paige was going to ask, the wound
on his leg glowed gold-white light and it was gone, but the blood
still remained on the floor. Piper helped her son up, his leg was
still a bit from the cut. Wyatt stood with his mother at his side as
he limped into the living room.
"What the hell happened?" Paige asked finally once Piper left the room.
"Wha-I just-he" Chris was at a loss for words.
"Umm?" Paige said, "I am waiting."
Chris was reminded this was the same interagation he got from both of his aunts, unlike his mother who…
"Christopher!" Piper said coming into the hall way furious. "What the hell happened and I wanna know now!"
A tear dropped from his eye. "I was standing here-and, he was then on the floor. And I don't know why, but I threw him into the wall."
"You threw him into the wall?" Piper restated, but still furious.
"What made you do that?" Paige asked
"I dunno, he was gonna touch me, and then I just threw him."
"Was this like a toss or did you use you're powers?" Piper asked
"I used my powers." He said talking very slowly.
"Oh my god!" Piper
said putting her hand on her forehead and turning her back on Chris
and walking a few steps.
"How could you?" Paige asked with a
sound of hurt in her voice.
"I am sor-" Chris
was stopped by Piper.
"Chris, how stupid are you? That's how
Prue died, nearly me as well!" Another tear dropped from Chris'
eye.
"I am so sorry." Chris replied, his hands were now
calmly.
"If you were sorry you wouldn't have done it in the first place!" Piper then kept her back on him. "Go to your room, I don't want to look at you."
Chris felt his heart crush in his chest. His mom was never this angry, it was probably the fact that she made sure they never used their powers on each other. Two more tears dropped from his eyes, he whipped them away. As he turned he saw his Aunt Paige's eyes looking down onto the ground. He couldn't see Wyatt in the family room. He ran up to his room, and slammed the door.
"I would have never thought it would come to them using their powers on each other." Piper said with her arms crossed on her chest and fury in her eyes.
"But you didn't have to call him stupid." Paige said, "He truly looked like he didn't know what he was doing."
"Paige, he threw Wyatt into the wall. What if it was Meldena, she would probably died!"
"But it wasn't."
Piper ignored Paige and
walked into the family room. She saw Wyatt standing up moving his
once injured leg. He bended it flexing his legs muscles, he then put
leg back down walked on it.
"It feels fine." He said before
his mother could ask.
"Good." Piper asked. "Now about what happened."
"I am as confused on it as you are." Wyatt said.
"What did you do
exactly?" Paige asked.
"I stood right by the stairs as he
walked through the door. I said Hi, he then came over and gave me a
hug, and said hi-"
"he's really missed you." Piper said
under her breath.
"-And that's when I was thrown across the room." Wyatt said finishing. "I missed him too."
"This is not like Chris, I am so lost." Piper said, "I am gonna go see him."
"No I am going to.
You're just gonna yell at him." Wyatt said walking up the stairs.
"Actually I wasn't." Piper said taken back.
"Wyatt
needs to see Chris." Paige said.
Wyatt walked to Chris' door. He knocked on it and slowly turned the knob. He opened it and was open into a dark room. Chris was sitting on his bed, his knees where pulled up into his chest and he was crying. Wyatt closed the door and walked over and grabbed Chris' desk chair turned it around and sat down on it. He his arms on the back of the chair to rest them, Chris sniffled and turned his head so he didn't have to face his brother.
"Look, I am not gonna kill you." Wyatt said, "I just wanna know what the hell happened."
Chris lifted his head and wiped his tears on his arms. "I am so sorry, so sorry."
"Okay. "Wyatt said putting his hand on his back. "Just what happened?"
"I don't know. I just got really angry and I just wanted to hurt you." He said still looking ahead of him not at Wyatt.
"Why?"
"I
don't know, I just did." He then broke down again.
"Okay." Wyatt said
"How are you and Bianca doing?" Wyatt asked.
Chris then remembered Bianca was laying on the ground of her house. Bleeding, she was injured he had thrown her onto the floor. He should help her, he needs to get to her. Naw, maybe a bit later.
"She and I are great." He said
