AN: Here's part nine. As I said in the last chapter, it's just one big flashback. It's only a short chapter, but I love it as a standalone. This might explain something you guys have been wondering about. Set around six months or so after the party in chapter 4. Ok, here it is! This is set around the same time as chapter 7 is FYI.

Piper was crying now. Tears streaming down her face at high speeds. And it was his fault. He should've just kept his mouth shut. But he couldn't just sit back and pretend he didn't see a problem. He noticed it all. The sneaking around, the keeping secrets, the drinking, the partying. It just wasn't like her.

"Fuck off Leo!" She screamed, wiping at her face furiously. Those words hurt him to the core, but he stood strong, keeping the eye contact.

"Piper, just talk to me!" He pleaded with her, desperate.

"There's nothing to talk about!" Her voiced was cracked and choked. It killed him to hear her like that, but this needed to be said.

"There's a problem here! That's something to talk about!" She turned away from him. "Piper!" She spun around fast when he shouted.

"Leave it alone Leo!" He reached out and grabbed her heard by the shoulders.

"No!" She screamed and immediately, dropped to her knees, holding onto his legs. Leo lowered himself down to her level; brushing her long brown hair away from her tear stained face and wiped her cheeks. His touch was gentle and her breathing slowed down.

"When Piper?" His voice was calmer than it had been before. "Was it when I think it was?" She shook her head violently. Not speaking. "When Piper?" He asked again, and she looked down and floor. "Piper…" Leo tried again.

She looked up at his face. Seeing the raw emotion that was there. He had lost so much in the past six months. He should just give up. But he was still fighting. Still fighting for her. She owed him an explanation. After everything she had put him through. At least she could give him that.

"Not the party…" he voice was raspy and thick from the tears but she kept on, "I guess that's when it started but it wasn't then." She shook her head and looked back at Leo, who was watching her intently. "It was after that."

"When?"

"At another party. I was drunk Leo. I don't know why I got drunk. I just did. And he just there. I didn't mean for this to happen." More tears fell and Leo, even above his heartache at what she was telling him, reached out and held her.

"I felt so bad the next day. I left without waking him. Went to see you. Do you remember that day?" Leo nodded, how could he forget. She acted like he didn't want him near her. "I meant for it to stop there. I did. But the parties just kept coming. I couldn't stop Leo."

"Piper…" But she stopped him.

"No, let me finish." He nodded again, waiting for her to continue. "Dan, he… he introduced to things I never wanted to introduced to. Every time I left him. I swore to myself it would be the last time. But it wasn't. I love you so much Leo. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Leo was crying now. He had never cried in front of her before. And it hurt her more than anything ever had.

"Nathan, Rick and Jamie?" Leo asked hesitantly. He already knew the answer. Piper nodded.

"They were always there." Piper told him, "Doing the same things."

Leo nodded.

"Where do we go from here now?" Leo asked her. Piper looked at him with tear filled eyes. He didn't deserve her. He didn't need her. He could be with any girl he wanted to. He could do so much better than her.

"I think we need to end this…" The words she though she would never say. Leo's tears swelled in his eyes again. Heart shattering. He looked at her desperately, willing her to say something different.

"Leo…" He just kissed her forehead and walked out. Too much pain to comprehend running through him.

Piper heard the door close and collapsed to floor. Crying her heart out.

AN: I know it wasn't my best but that's really hard scene to write, and I'm in a state of severe depression over Leo. I watched the episode just before I wrote this. I spent two hours crying and haven't been able to write anything of this story since. But yeah, I finally wrote this. I'm still pretty ahead of myself, by around 7/8 chapters,which is good. I hope to write the next one soon
