AN: This chapter is basically one big flashback. Set around a year before the first chapter. Oh and for everyone, the bit in italics are flashbacks. In this particular chapter they are only set around a few hours before the normal text. But in other chapters they can be up to two years before. Yeah, that's for you to work out.

The heavy bass line pounded through Leo's chest so hard that it almost hurt as he pushed his way through the crowd of hot teenage bodies, trying to find Piper. They shouldn't have come. When Nathan told them all about the party he forgot to mention about all the drugs and alcohol that would be here. And now all he wanted to do was get Piper out of there. He was going to kill them when he found them later.

.xXx.

All five of them lay around Nathan and Rick's bedroom, laughing and joking as usual. Piper and Leo sat close together on the red beanbag in the corner of the room. Rick and Jamie cuddle on his bed and Nathan was sat on his desk chair snipping wildly around. Piper was getting dizzy just watching him.

"So you guys coming to the party tonight?" Rick as the room and Nathan nodded. "Dan told us about it."

"Dan?" Leo asked.

"You know our old friend from back in L.A. He's transferring over here." Leo knew who it was now. Dan had a bad rep from what Nathan and Rick had told them about him.

"You guys coming?" Nathan asked and Jamie nodded, and Leo looked at Piper. He knew how much she didn't like big parties, and he wouldn't go if she didn't. He's rather stay behind and watch movies with her anyway.

"Piper?" He asked, already knowing the answer. Piper looked around the room, at her friends.

"Sure why not." Leo was surprised by her answer but nodded.

"Ok, I'm in."

.xXx.

Leo wished she'd just have said no. Then he'd be sat at home, on the couch, with Piper, probably watching some old chick flick with Freddie Prnz Jr, and pigging out on chocolate. Instead of what he was really doing. In a hot, sweaty house party, fuelled by drugs, surrounded by high teenagers and searching for his girlfriend. He raked a shaking hand through his damp hair.

"Piper!" He scream so his lungs burned from the smoke, but it was no use. He couldn't hear himself over the beats, so nobody else could. Looking around he spotted Nathan in the corner making out with some random girl. He made his way over (which is harder than it sounds) and pulled him off her.

Looking into the face of his best friend Leo shook his head. Nathan's eyes were bloodshot to the extreme and he was zoned out. But there were more important things right now…

"Have you seen Piper!" Leo asked him but Nathan shook his head. And then a look of nausea crossed his face and he ran off. Leo couldn't believe the way he was acting. He though Nathan knew better than that. Leo's head spun from the heat an his t-shirt clung to him. He needed to get out of there.

Stepping outside he welcomed the cool air, and sat down on the steps. He needed to find her. If anything happened to her, and it could inside there, he didn't know what he would do. Filling his lungs with fresh air for one last time he stepped back in.

.xXx.

Leo watched with a smile on his face as he watched Piper apply her make in her bedroom mirror. He was sat on her behind her so he could see exactly what she was doing. He loved to watch her do this. Especially eyeliner. He couldn't explain it. He just loved it. The temptation got to much for him and he waked over to her. Pulling her to him from behind, nuzzling her neck.

"You're beautiful." He breathed lightly against the sensitive skin where her neck and shoulder met. He felt her shiver.

"Leo… Get off. I need to do this." She half-heartedly struggled to get out of his grip. But smiled anyway, "Leooooo…" She mined but stopped moving in his arms.

"Why? You look perfect." He kissed her neck again a few more times, and felt her knees shudder.

"Leo.. " she whined again, and made puppy dog eyes at him. "Please, just let me do this…" He stared down at her and laughed a little. He never could resist those eyes of hers. He released her. And she sighed.

"Thank—" but before she could finished he pressed on e kiss onto her lips. When he pulled away she just looked at him. "Oh great, now I have to re-do my lip-gloss."

.xXx.

"Piper!" Leo tested his newly refreshed lungs, but it didn't help. It was no use. He couldn't find her. He frantically scanned the mass of bodies, moving wildly to the music. He spotted Jamie and Rick making out in the kitchen. He guessed they were high too. He felt tears sting in his eyes but he ignored them, He needed to fine Piper. He pushed people away and pulled his two best friends apart. They just stared at him and laughed hysterically. Oh god.

"Rick!" He yelled but Rick just carried on laughing, "Rick.. Rick!" Leo hits his friends face and Rick shook his head from reflex. "Have you seen Piper!"

Leo looked between both their spaced out faces until Jamie nodded slowly.

"Thank God. Where!" He shook her shoulder slightly; her blonde hair flew over her face. "Where is she Jamie?" He repeated, the hysteria in his voice rising. Jamie pointed up the stairs and Leo's heart raced out of fear. Oh. My. God.

He ran up the stairs and opened every door he came to. To say least, he saw way to much flesh, but none of them was Piper. As he came to the last door, his breathing grew ragged and his hand shook as he reached for the door handle. But he flung it open.

.xXx.

There was Piper, sat there on the bed, with a guy, just talking. He let out a sigh of relief and walked over.

"I've been looking everywhere for you Pipe." He kissed her forehead and sat down next to her. Looking to the guy. "Who are you?" He asked defensively. Piper jumped in before the guy had a chance to open his mouth.

"Leo, sweetie, this is Dan. Dan this is Leo. My boyfriend." Warning bells rung loud and clear in Leo's mind.

"So you guys coming to the party tonight? Dan told us about it."

Leo stiffened and pulled at Piper's arm. "We're leaving" He told her and pulled her up, walking her out of the room. She turned and waved.

"Bye Dan."

AN: That took me a while to write due to writers block but I'm still ahead of myself by 3 chapters so its all good. R&R please!
