Chapter Seven

Chris sat upon the Golden Gate Bridge once again to be alone. How could I mess up so much, he thought to himself, they weren't supposed to find out who I really am or about what really happened to Wyatt. Now, they know too much about the future. Chris felt like a complete failure. He also thought about Lexy. He wondered how Wyatt reacted to her trying to save him. Would he punish her for this? Chris knew that this wouldn't be the first time Wyatt had hurt her no matter how many times she denied it. She claims that he's just stressed out and can't help it, but Chris knew better. He wished that he had a chance to make her understand that he only wanted to help Wyatt by traveling back to the past. If only there was a way to make things less complicated.

Manor

"Have you found him yet?" Paige asked Phoebe who was trying to find Wyatt using the crystal.

"No," Phoebe replied frustrated. "He must not want to be found. He knew that we were going to try to find him this way. There must be some future trick he used to make this not work."

"Can Leo sense him," Paige inquired.

"Actually," Phoebe answered, "I told him to go find Chris. Earlier today, I could feel some intense anger from him. I think they just need some father/son time to talk."

"Ok, but they better not take too long. We have to stop Wyatt before he does something terrible."

"He already has done something terrible," Phoebe pointed out. "He almost killed Chris, remember?"

"Well, at least Leo was able to heal him. We might not get to the next person he goes after."

"Which is why we have to find him soon. Where's Piper?"

"In the kitchen feeding baby Wyatt," Paige answered. "Why?"

"Because I found Wyatt. He's in the Underworld."

Golden Gate Bridge

Leo orbed on top of the Golden Gate Bridge where he found Chris. "What are you doing here?" Chris asked not even turning around to look at him.

"We need to talk, Chris," Leo responded.

"You and I have nothing to talk about."

"I think we do, Chris. I want you to tell me why you hate me so much. What did I do in the future that was so bad?"

Chris paused for a moment and then answered, "You were never there for me. You were never there for your family, even when we needed you most. You were so wrapped up in your elder duties that you didn't even have time for you own family."

Leo could not believe that he would ever ignore his family like that. He must do something to change this. "Maybe, Chris, saving Wyatt wasn't the only reason to come back from the future. Maybe you came back to save us as well."

"I don't think so," Chris responded as he orbed away leaving Leo all alone to think about what he said.
