Chapter Seven – The Warning
It was more then comfort, Chris needed closure, he needed to be alone; to move on. As he layed on his bed, his eyes still swollen, he looked at pictures on the wall next to his bed. He always kept the picture of him and his mother close to him, it was the very last day he was with her. She smiling him with her harm around him at the beach. Then he had other pictures, ones with him and Wyatt, Aunt Phoebe, Bianca, Jesse (his best friend), and his father. He held the picture, of him, Leo. And he took another one off the wall of him Leo, Piper, and Wyatt at Chris' 8th grade graduation from Junior High School. His mother had all bought them matching suits.
So many thoughts went through his head: Why? he asked himself, Why am I bound to go through this? He looked at his fathers eyes, they were the same as Chris. He was undoubtly Leo Wyatt's son. He dropped the photos onto the ground without knowing he did it. He blinked to keep the tears from coming to his eyes again. He pulled the blanket up and he turned onto his side, waiting for sleep to come.
As the weeks passed, Chris got more use to the idea that Leo was gone. He did not cry anymore, it was deeper than tears could express. He studies and performance were slaking to say the least. In the past two vanquishes, Chris' powers seemed drained. Paige explained when you use your powers to that extent, pushing them to their max, its like a scar, give it time to recover. He just tried to shake it off.
Chris walked down the halls of Hyde High, giving high fives, and saying hi to people he knew. He looked around at the big banners anti-pating the big week where Hyde High would go against their rival school, Hilltop. The big four games where: Football, Soccer, Swimming, and Basketball. Wyatt and Chris were both being pushed to their limits in their sports. The football coach had kept the team to as late as 8pm, and Wyatt would come home tired and barely able to keep his eyes open. Chris was lucky compared to Wyatt, he came home around 5 or 6pm most nights. Chris' legs and arms were so weak, he couldn't walk home, he orbed, and he missed the house a few times mostly landing on the lawn, one time he almost landed in a trash can a block away. Wyatt was to tired to Orb, he just drove.
Paige took up reasonability's at P3, covering for Wyatt (who replaced Piper), and she cleaned the house, and helping the boys with their homework.
"How are you doing?"
Bianca said coming up to Chris' locker.
"I am fine. You gonna
ask me that every time you see me. Like 'Hi' can't fit you!"
Chris snapped.
"Sorry." She replied. He slammed his locker
shut and walked on, he took a few steps and stopped.
"Sorry."
He replied.
"It's okay, everyone has their healing time."
She said giving him a hug and kissing him on the cheek.
"Well there is Derek. Bye babe!" And with that she was gone. Chris watched as she almost skipped as she spirited over to him.
How sick! He thought. They were matching. White shirts, with heavy blue jackets with windbreakers and jeans, she kissed him and Chris instantly put himself in Derek's place. He was happy for a second. Then he just shook it off (or tried to) and walked on.
"Hello Chris." Cassie said entering the corridor.
Chris stopped and
sighed. He turned around, still watching Bianca and Derek with arms
around each other with their friends.
"Hi Cassi." He replied
"How are you today."
She said trying to put her arm through his. He just moved.
"Kinda
crappy. You?"
"I am sorry." Cassi said.
Bianca turned and saw Cassi and Chris. She bit her lip. She was kill her, how could Chris stump so low? She forced her head away. She didn't want to see it.
"Don't." Chris
replied.
"I can make your day better."
"Oh really how?"
He said looking at right her. "You leaving?"
Cassi laughed.
"No, like this." She said, as she put her arm around his head and
forced his face towards his and kissed him on the lips. Chris tried
to pull back, but she was too strong. What in hell? He pushed
his hands into her stomach and pushed her away.
"FUCKING
PSYCHO!" Chris yelled as he echoed through the corridor.
"Oh,"
Cassi replied, wiping her finger along the sides of her lips. "You
want me I know it."
"Are you fucking crazy! I don't want
you! I never did!"
People begin to stop and look and listen to
Cassi and Chris. Bianca and Derek had front row seats.
"You so
want me!" Cassi replied, coming closer.
"NO I DON'T!"
"Then who do you want?" She snapped.
Chris looked at Cassi
for a minute then his eyes moved over to Bianca's direction.
Bianca's eyes met with Chris. She almost lost her footing. No
way! She thought.
"Not you!" Chris said to Cassi. With
that he walked away.
"You want me!" Cassi yelled, "I KNOW
YOU DO! YOU LOVE ME!"
As Cassi ran after
Chris around the corner she ran into Wyatt.
"Wyatt!" She
said, "Where's Chris?"
"Umm, he just went up
stairs!"
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She replied
going up stairs. Wyatt turned and watched her. Wyatt had sent her the
wrong direction, Chris had gone to the next building over.
Wyatt laughed as he heard Cassi yelling for Chris up stairs, her voice echoed through out the corridor, and he walked through it, he saw Bianca. She was still shocked. Derek tried to talk with her to see what was wrong, but Wyatt knew exactly what was up. Wyatt smiled as he opened the door and went into his Biology AP class.
"Like you were warned
Paige, you can't do this." Said Jevan in the manor.
"Do
what? Be with my family!" Paige replied. "I quit, didn't I
make that clear?"
"Oh it was clear." Jevan replied, "But you can't be here."
"Says who? You?"
"Say's destiny. Something is coming, and you can't be
here."
"And if I do?"
"You will die."
"Is that
a threat?"
"It is what it is!" Jevan said.
"Yeah
right, and where in hell am I suppose to go?"
"I don't
know. That's up to you." With that he orbed out.
Paige was left half mad, half scared for her life.
