Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 2-Trouble in paradise?
A/N: This chapter has some slight violence, nothing really bad though. I only say this because this is basically rated G.
Disclaimer: If I owned Charmed do you really think I'd be here?..I probably would. But I don't, so I am, got it? Lol
It had been a month since Leo had moved into the neighborhood. He and Piper had gone on many more dates and were now going pretty steady.
Jeremy still wouldn't tell Piper what he had against Leo, but figured it couldn't be all bad, and Missy and her posse had been a little nicer to Piper. Everything was looking up.
"See ya later Grams," Piper said as she closed the door and ran down the steps to meet Leo. Prue had already left with Andy and Phoebe was playing hooky again.
"Hey you," Piper smiled.
"Hey yourself," Leo replied then kissed her on the cheek. He took her hand and they started walking.
Just as they walked past Jeremy's house Piper heard a familiar voice calling her name.
"Piper! Hey Piper!"
The two of them stopped and turned to see Jeremy and someone who kind of looked like him.
"H-hey, Jeremy, hey Dan, what are you doing here?" Piper asked uneasily.
"Oh I came to stay with Jeremy while my parents are in Saudi Arabia." Dan replied.
Piper just nodded. "Oh, um, Dan Gordon this is Leo Wyatt, my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Dan looked confused. "But I thought we were going out?"
"We were, but then you moved remember?" Piper felt really uncomfortable now.
"Yea but I assumed…" Dan started but Jeremy interrupted.
"You two better get going, don't wanna be late for school." Jeremy said.
"What about you?" Piper asked.
"My mom says I can stay home today to hang out with Dan and Jenny."
"Oh, Jenny's here?" Piper got pale. She hated Jenny.
"Yep, I'll tell her to swing by later." Dan said.
"Great," Piper replied sarcastically. "So Jeremy, I'll bring your homework by later, okay?"
"That's not necessary," Jeremy protested.
"No, I will, we need to talk." Piper finished. She and Leo turned and walked away.
Once they were a few houses down Leo spoke. "So who are Dan and Jenny?"
"They're Jeremy's cousins." Piper answered blankly.
"Ah, so you and Dan used to go out?"
"Yea, but then we broke up."
"Well Dan didn't seem to know that." Leo said almost mockingly.
"What's your problem?" Piper said in a hoarse voice.
"Nothing, I was just saying, he really didn't seem to know you two were broken up. I'm sorry if I made you mad." Leo looked down at his feet as they walked.
Piper stopped and Leo stopped also. "I'm not mad, just a little…I dunno, overwhelmed I guess. I never expected to see Dan again, and I really didn't want to." She looked up at Leo then hugged him.
Later…
Piper and Leo sat outside in the grass during lunch. Prue and Andy were walking by when Piper stopped them.
"Hey Prue," Piper called. Prue walked over to them while Andy stayed put.
"What's up?"
Piper looked over at Leo. "I'll be right back," She stood up and they started walking.
"You know who I saw this morning?" Piper asked.
"Julian McMahon?" Prue guessed.
"Who?- What is it with you and Julian McMahon? No, I saw Dan."
Prue's jaw hung open.
Piper nodded. "That's right, apparently he's gonna be here awhile. Prue what am I gonna do!"
"What do you mean? You're with Leo now, and besides, Dan's been gone a whole year." Prue reminded her.
"Yes but before he left we were together for three years. And he still thinks we're together!" Piper said aspirated.
"Whoa, that sucks. Look just tell him you don't like him anymore, you don't, do you?"
"No! Of course not!" Piper screamed.
"Good, cuz he has the greasiest hair." Prue scrunched her nose and laughed.
"Ha, ha," Piper said then walked away.
"You're welcome!" Prue called.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked when Piper sat back down.
"Yea, why wouldn't I be?"
"Oh I dunno, I just heard you screaming at Prue, so I kinda figured…"
"No, I'm just trying to figure out how to make Dan realize I don't like him anymore without hurting him." Piper closed her eyes and let out a long breath.
"I could tell him for you." Leo joked.
"Thanks, but no thanks," Piper put her head on his shoulder.
Later…
After school Leo and Piper walked over to Jeremy's house but neither he nor Dan were there. But Jenny was, she answered the door.
"Oh Piper it's been so long!" Jenny cried as she hugged Piper. "We have so much to catch up on!"
"Yea," Piper muttered. "But not now. Could you please just give this to Jeremy and tell him to call me when he gets home?" Piper asked as she handed Jenny some books.
Jenny sighed. "Sure, see ya later." She took the books and went inside.
Piper shuttered, Leo laughed.
"So that's Jenny huh?"
"That's Jenny, she's so annoying." Piper said. The two of them walked up the stairs of the Manor, only to see Phoebe making out with a guy on the front porch.
"Ahem," Piper said. Phoebe looked peeved.
"Can I help you?" Phoebe asked.
"You can move, why aren't you making out with…"
"Cole," Phoebe told her.
"Right, Cole. Why aren't you making out with Cole in your room?"
"Because I can't sneak him in, Grams is in the front room. I don't see why you get to bring your boyfriends in the house with no problem." Phoebe complained.
"That's probably because none of my boyfriends have ever been in Juvi!" Piper laughed then leaned and whispered to Leo; "You've never been to Juvi right?" Leo shook his head.
"Good for that, now can you please go away?" Phoebe said harshly.
"You should be lucky I don't tell Grams you're out here." Piper joked.
"You do and you're dead," Phoebe said simply then continued making out with Cole.
Piper giggled and she and Leo went inside.
2 hours later…
Leo kissed Piper good-bye then walked out. He walked down the steps. It was already dark, the only light came from streetlamps. As he walked past Jeremy's house he noticed Dan sitting on the steps. Leo just ignored him and kept walking. Dan jumped up and ran over to him.
"Hey, Leo, right?" Dan asked.
"Yea," Leo replied.
"Leo you seem like a cool guy so I'm only gonna tell you this once; "Piper is mine, I want you to step down."
Leo shook his head. "You're damaged," He chuckled and kept walking but Dan put his hand on Leo's shoulder and stopped him. Leo pushed his hand away. "Man what's you're problem!"
"You are, I told you, Piper is mine, not yours, so if you wanna be able to eat solid food ever again I suggest you just break it off with her."
"Oh please, you can't do jack." Leo sneered.
"You asked for it," Dan threw a punch at Leo but missed, Leo punched Dan in the face. Dan punched him in the gut. They kept at this for awhile. Leo hooked his foot behind Dan's leg and he fell to the floor. He sat on top of him and started punching him in the face.
"Get off me!" Dan cried, trying to shield his bloody face.
"Leo stop!" Piper screamed.
Leo stopped and turned to see Piper running over along with Phoebe and Prue.
Dan used this distraction to throw Leo off of him and punch him again.
"Stop it!" Piper screamed again. She stood in the middle of the two and looked at Leo, whose nose was bleeding badly and he had a black eye. "What's going on!" She demanded.
"Why don't you ask him!" Leo spat.
"I will, but I'm asking you first." Piper said. Leo didn't say anything so she turned to Dan. "What happened?"
"I gotta go," Dan turned and ran back to the house.
"Dan! Wait!" Piper called.
She turned back to Leo, "You wanna tell me now?"
"I don't know, I'm walking home then he comes up to me talking crap about how you're his and I should back down, so I say he just talks, then he punches me…"
"And you punch back," Piper said. Leo nodded.
"Man, I can't believe I missed that!" Phoebe muttered. Prue shot her a weird glance.
"C'mon, let's get you some ice." Piper grabbed Leo's arm.
"I'm fine Piper, I got him worse than he got me." Leo tried to convince her.
"I don't care, now come on." Piper insisted.
Leo didn't bother to protest this time he walked back with the girls.
TBC…
Hmm, that was interesting huh?
Cya!
