Ch.13

It was a couple days later. Chris was slowly, but surely talking to his mother and sister again, but had refused to talk to Leo and Matt. Piper, Melinda, and Chris were sitting in the kitchen, drinking their morning coffee, when Leo and Matt had walked in. They were talking and laughing and getting along like any other father and son would. Chris saw this and had become angry. Why couldn't he ever treat Chris like that when he was growing up?

"Chris, are you ok?" Piper asked. She saw the way her son had tensed up when they had walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just going to go take a shower," he replied, before going upstairs. He had been staying at his mother's house for the past couple of days because she had insisted that he stay there and wouldn't take no for an answer. She watched as he walked out of the kitchen and sighed.

"Is he still not talking to us?" Leo asked, sitting next to his wife.

"No, he's not. What did you do for him to act this way around you Leo? I mean, I know why he isn't talking to Matt, but why not you?" she asked. Leo just looked at her before the memory of what had happened came back. The memory of the argument he had with Chris at the age of 14 came rushing back to his mind. He looked down, before wishing he had never said those things to Chris. He wished that he could just go back in time and erase all the memories of him ever saying those things. Piper had noticed Leo had gone quiet and knew something was up.

"Leo, what did you do?" she asked. He just looked back up at her, before sighing. He knew he couldn't keep this from her any longer.

Chris came downstairs 20 minutes later to an arguing mother and stepfather.

"How could you ever say those things to him? He was only 14 years old. We agreed to wait until he was older before it came out!" she yelled at Leo.

"Piper, I'm sorry. Really I am. I never meant it. It's just that he had gotten me so angry and I didn't realize what I said until it was to late to do anything about it," Leo replied, to an angry Piper. Chris looked from them to the living room where his brother and sister sat on the couch.

"What's going on Mel?" Chris asked, ignoring Matt.

"Well, Mom just found out what Dad had said to you when you were 14 years old," she replied. Chris sighed.

"I didn't want her to find out this way," Chris said.

"Yeah, well she did," Matt said to him. Chris just looked at him angrily before starting to walk to the kitchen.

"Wait, Chris," Matt said, jumping over the back of the couch. "What is your problem with me?" he asked, once he stopped Chris. He turned around. Matt could see the fury in his eyes.

"What is my problem with you?" Chris repeated. Matt slowly nodded his head. "Well, where should we start this off at, huh," Chris replied. "Oh, I got it. How about it's your entire fault that my three-year-old daughter was in the hospital. It's your entire fault that my daughter will have a scar on her forehead for the rest of her life. It's your fault that I almost lost her and her sister almost lost a twin. So, you want to know why I'm so mad at you? It's because all my life I had looked up to you. All my life I tried to be just like you while you were just like him. But, you want to know something. I don't even see why I wanted to be anything like you. You and Leo are nothing to me. You two are nothing but cold-hearted jerks. You don't care about anyone else but yourself and that's exactly why you wouldn't let me leave that day. You wanted to see me and act like you missed me and say that you love me and don't want me to go. But, all you really want to was say something to make yourself feel better so you wouldn't have to deal with the pain of what you had caused to me and my daughters!" Chris yelled in Matt's face. He stood there, shocked, as did Melinda, Piper, and Leo. Right after he had gotten through yelling and saying all that to Matt, his cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and answered.

"Hello," he said. When he did, he looked at Leo and smiled. "Oh, hello Dad. What's up?" Chris asked, smiling as he saw the pain shoot across Leo's face. His smile slowly faded though, when he heard something he didn't want to hear. "Is she ok?" he asked, immediately. This caused all four of the other people in the room to quickly snap out of the shocked state they were in and look at Chris, worried. "Ok, ok. Calm down and tell her that Daddy will be there no later than tonight," Chris said, before shutting his phone. He then took off up the stairs, completely forgetting his family downstairs. Not even 5 minutes later, he came running back down with his bag in his hand. Piper saw this and ran over to him before he left through the door.

"Chris wait. I want to come with you," she said. He just looked at her, his mind only on his little girl.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because I don't want to miss out of yours or my granddaughter's lives anymore. Please, let me come," Piper answered.

"Fine but hurry up, I'm leaving in 5 minutes with or without you," Chris replied.

"Wait, if she's going then I'm going too," Melinda said. Chris just looked at her.

"Fine, hurry up. There's no use in fighting against you and Mom right now," he said. He watched as he face lit up and as she ran up the stairs.

"Me too," Matt and Leo said at the same time.

"No," Chris said, angrily. "You two are not coming, you two are not going anywhere near my daughters. It'll be over my dead body before you two see them or even go near them. (Sound a little familiar, lol) Don't even think about following us either, because I will have you two thrown in jail so quick you won't know what happened," Chris said, his anger rising again. Right after he had said that his mother and sister ran down the steps and over to the front door.

"Wait, Chris, what happened to one of the girls?" Piper asked, worried.

He sighed before replying, "Bianca's in the hospital." The three of them then ran out of the house and into a taxi that Chris had called earlier.
