Lessons in Love: College … Chapter 9 (Get out of my life!!)
Piper and Leo's PoV
"Stay away from me, Get out, leave!!" she said throwing a book at his head.
"No I won't Piper!" he said as he ducked "We need to talk"
She paused "We may need to talk, but that doesn't mean I'm going to!" she finished just before she lobed another book towards him. Running across the field over to the nursery.
She needed to get Wyatt and get out of here, it was bad enough he was here, pursuing her … but not her son … their son. No he wasn't going to go through what she did. Never. And she wasn't going to let him manipulate her either! She loved him and he left her, she had finally got over him and now he was back- he should learn to make his mind up. Stupid bastard. She thought as she headed over, when he got hold of her upper arm. Whipping around and throwing a clear and hard slap across his face, knocking him back.
"How could you do that to me?" she paused as he watched her "I thought you cared about me?"
"Piper I-"
She cut him off "Save it Leo! I'm not listening and frankly at this moment in time I don't care, please just leave me alone, I don't you in my way or my life. You had your chance, and you blew it." she said as she turned and walked away.
"Oh! What did you do to piss her off Leo?!" Dan said getting closer to Leo.
"It's a long story" he said rubbing his cheek.
"Past history?"
"You could say that"
"Let me guess old girlfriend" he said looking a bit disappointed.
"Yer, sorry about that"
"It's okay I wouldn't dream of running in on your territory"
"No. S'ok" he said drained "it's clear she doesn't want to know, let alone interested"
"So your okay with me trying?"
"Yer, go on" Leo said sadly heading over to his car, he couldn't stand any more of this, he had to get out of here. All he could do was give up, wait no he couldn't give her up no way, never!
Piper had to go, before Leo caught up with her. Sure she left him just standing there dumbstruck, but that wasn't the point if she knew Leo and she did he would snap out of that and would be hurrying over in her direction which meant she had get moving. The last thing she wanted was to click on to why she was at a local college when she had told him of her dreams to go out of state. Their son. No she couldn't let him know about Wyatt, he may be able to convince him to leave her alone. But if he found out he had a son by her, … he'd be in her life forever and then she could never fully recover. She had to go. She thought quickly as she put Wyatt into his stroller running as she pushed him along the pebble path.
"Hey Piper wait up"
… it didn't sound like Leo…
… … it was … Dan …
"What do you want?" she said keeping at her original pace.
"I wanna talk?"
"Well, … talk fast"
"Well since you said that I just wanted to ask you out"
Pausing in her tracks causing Dan to jog passed her and come back. "What?!"
"Ask you out, I wanted to ask you out"
"Why?"
"Because I like you Piper, when I like someone I like them to know about it."
"You like that many people huh?"
"Very funny, come on Piper" he said pausing "at least think about it" he said handing her a piece of paper. "Ring me if you reconsider"
"okay"
"bye Piper"
"Bye"
Oh my god she thought to herself as she made her way over to her Gram's SUV, picking up Wyatt she put him into his car seat and, packed the stroller into the boot and made her way to the front seat. She couldn't believe it no sooner had she ran into a tantrum match with Leo, Dan his friend had asked her out. Oh she didn't know what to do. Should she go out with Dan? If so she was sure as hell not calling him first if he wanted her he had to come and get her. Putting the keys in the ignition she revved up the engine, she needed to get out of here, before any more of the past turned around to bite her in the ass. Leo, he was here she couldn't believe it. If they hadn't seen each other at all since the start of college, then for all she knew he hadn't even gone to England or even a different state- he might not have even moved schools after all she didn't go back there did she, she wouldn't have known. And Phoebe was in a different grade. She might not have noticed him.
"I have been sorry for a lot of things in my life but none of them hurts me more then how sorry I am about you. I've been … well not a nice person lately." - she said to herself
Bullocks, he was never a nice person, he was so persuasive that she thought he was. Bullshit. She was clever then that now. Repeating what he had said in-between gasps of pain and tears. Drizzle was coming- rain wouldn't be too far behind.
"I shouldn't have left you unknowing- I know that. I just could think of a way to tell you. I was going to tell you that night on New Years, but I found I couldn't I didn't want to admit it, I didn't want to admit that I might not see you again. I didn't want to lose you."
He shouldn't have left at all, and if he had to he could have taken her with him. He didn't want to lose her? Hah! Too late.
"I had thought of asking you to come with me, but I thought of your future. You had already got your Harvard scholarship though and I didn't want to ruin that for you. I knew how hard you had worked for that, I wanted you to have everything you'd ever wanted. Even if it meant not experiencing it with you."
He could have taken her with him! She thought the tears staining her cheeks. He could! She would have gone to the end of the Earth for him, to the end and back, … for him. Stuff Harvard! It ever got her far anyway- if he had taken her with him everything would have been different. She could have gone to … Oxford University with the grades she had and when she found out she was pregnant they could have been a family, Wyatt could have had a father. And as for not experiencing it with her- he sure as hell hadn't he had missed everything. Wyatt's first smile, first steps, first word. Everything. She thought putting the window wipers on as the rain came down harder and harder, hammering at the windscreen.
"I am so sorry, I didn't write to you sooner or tell you what my parents wanted to do, but I want you to know that I will always love you. I know there is now excuse for it- but never the less, my feelings for you will never die and I will carry on loving you for the rest of my life."
Sorry?! SORRY?! Sorry my ass! You should have wrote sooner- no scrap that you should have phoned you pig! You horrible, horrible person. She chanted the tears flowing into her mouth. Why! Wh-h-h-y! pulling the black SUV to a blinding halt outside the manor she wasn't in the mood for parking straight and even if she was the state she was in would mean her crashing into the trash cans. Taking her coat off she turned to the back seat and just looked. He didn't know how close he had come to meeting his dad. She thought watching him as he seemed to coo at her.
"I'll keep you safe" she said stroking his cheek "nobody is going to hurt you, … physically or emotionally. I love you too much to let it happen"
Wrapping her coat over her head she stepped out of the SUV and into the stream-like water flowing down the street as the rain drops plummeted to the road. Love her? Now that was funny. Bullshit. She thought putting her coat over Wyatt and picked him up and made a run to the door, him moaning to walk as she did so. Then she saw a figure at the door. It was Jamie.
"It's about bloody time, now lets get in and let you apologise to me over some tea."
She smiled and put the lock in the door.
"All my love
Leo"
