AN: This is set not too long; about a month or so, after chapter three. I know I'm slightly confusing with all the jumping around in time but it's the best way to get a full story of what happened to Leo and Piper.

Disclaimer: The characters of the Charmed TV series aare not mine/ And also the lyrics aren't mine either. They are from an awesome song by the All-American Rejects, called "One More Sad Song".

If you asked Leo what the exact point in time that they fell apart, he could tell you. Sure, he didn't see it coming at the time, but hindsight's 20/20. It was that party. The party that changed his whole life, and his all his friends. The party that made sure his life fell down around him. Yeah, it was then.

And now staring out of his bedroom window, he wondered how things got so bad. How things went from the perfect fairy tale to the way they were now. He shook his head and turned around to see Lilly stood in his doorway. He smiled at her.

"Your mom let me up." She told him quietly and sat down at his bed, staring at his feet. Leo felt for her then. He wasn't fair to her. She hadn't done anything wrong. It wasn't her fault he was still in love with Piper. He sighed and sat down next to her.

"Hey." He kissed her once and pulled her to him. Trying to reassure her that he wasn't forgetting her all the time. Trying to reassure himself of that fact.

"Hey." She said back to him, he voice was empty and Leo's heart broke knowing he had done that to her. He ran a hand through her short blonde hair and kissed her head. He knew how she must have been feeling. The same way he felt towards the end of his and Piper's relationship. But he wasn't going to let Lilly go.

"I'm sorry Lils." He told her genuinely. He was sorry. She nodded.

"I don't think I can do this anymore Leo." Her voice was so quiet, he could barely hear. But he did.

"Lilly…" But she stopped him.

"I see the way you look at her Leo. I'm not blind. I know you love her." Leo reached for her hand and squeezed it, pleading her with his eyes. He couldn't let this end. It was good for him. He needed this, to get over Piper.

"Lilly, I promise you. I want this to work. Just give it chance." Her eyes were filing up with tears. "Please Lills." He brushed his lips to hers briefly, not quite a kiss. She stared at him. And after a short moment nodded. Leo pulled her to in a hug, resting his head on top hers.

If this was a good thing, why did it feel so wrong?

.xXx.

One boy, one girl, two hearts, their world
Time goes by, secrets rise
One more, sad song, tears shed, she's gone
She'd take it back, if she only could

And all the perfect words they seem so wrong,
She's gone
You wish that you could learn to see,
The door is closed and you wish you could be

.xXx.

Piper knew as soon as she saw Leo that night what she had done was wrong. She knew that at the time, but she didn't stop it. She didn't even try to stop it. And that's what was eating away at her from the inside out as Leo's lips touched hers. She jumped away like she had been burnt and looked at him. She wanted to cry.

His face was a mess of confusion, worry and sadness. She had done that to him. She hadn't meant to. Piper started to reach out to touch his cheek but couldn't bring herself to do it. She didn't deserve him after what she had done.

"What's wrong Piper?" He asked her, concerned. That broke her heart. He was too good for her. She wanted so bad to tell him everything, but couldn't do it. She couldn't break his heart like that. So she just shook her head.

"Nothing." Her voice came out in a crack whisper and Leo frowned. She had never hid anything from him. And it killed him to know she was doing know.

"Piper…" He reached for her hand but she pulled roughly away. There was something very wrong.

"Nothing Leo!" She was shouting now. Looking up at the look on Leo's face Piper let the tears fall. And then she turned and ran. Ignoring him as he called after her.

.xXx.

Piper held Jake in her arms and sighed. Two years ago things had been so clear. She had Leo. Leo had her. They loved each other. End of story. But then things went bad. Her whole life suddenly U-turned and spiralled out of control. She could tell you when. The exact point when things got triggered. The party.

The party that was a hurricane of drugs and alcohol. The party she said yes to even though she didn't want to go. She said she would. Something made her say yes. Now she wished will everything she was that she would've just said no. And stayed behind to watch movies with Leo.

If she hadn't have gone, she would've never met Dan. Nathan and Rick would still be on speaking terms with them all. She would still be with Leo. He wouldn't be with Lilly. She would've been at graduation. She wouldn't have Jake.

And to be honest Piper wasn't sure how she felt about that last one. She loved him more than anything but sometimes it was all too much for her. She was 18, she should be out living life. Not with a baby.

She kissed Jake on the forehead and laid him down in his crib, just as Phoebe walked in.

"Hey sis." She said and stood next to her, looking down at Jake. "He's so cute." Piper nodded. He was. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was silently thankful that he didn't look much like Dan.

"What do you want Phoebe?" Piper asked, the question coming out ruder than she mad meant it to.

"I just wanted to see my perfect nephew." Piper smiled. Phoebe loved him so much. More than her mom and dad almost. "Piper…"

"What?"

"I know mom and dad wanted you to tell Dan about him, but I get why you didn't. I get it. And they do too. Deep down." Piper nodded, and hugged her little sister.

.xXx.

Piper sat on the floor of the bathroom with her head resting against the edge of the toilet, tears running down her face. 7 weeks, and she still hadn't told her parents. Leo knew. Prue knew. But her parents and Phoebe didn't. Or Dan.

Dan.

She hadn't seen him in a month. She didn't want to either. And she should tell him about her baby. His baby. Their baby. But she couldn't. She knew what he would do. Dan would just accuse her of sleeping around behind his back and declare her a slut. Before breaking it off with her. So she did what anyone else would do. Not tell him and break it off herslelf.

There was a knock at the door. Piper wiped away her tears quickly.

"Who is it?"

"It's me." Came Leo's voice from the other side. He had been so supportive of her. After everything she had done to him. He still looked after her.

"Come in." The door pushed open and there he stood, with a concerned look all over his face.

"You okay Pipe?" He asked, sitting down next to her. She tried to speak but all that same out was a strangled sob. Leo just pulled her to him and let her cry into his shirt, just like he had done so many time recently.

Her lifeline.
