Psychokitty3: I know! When I watch P3 H2O, I totally want to cry at the end. I knew what the song was called, I just forgot to write it down.
OTHCharmedFreak: Well, here u go. A quick update!
Lay your head on my pillow
Here you can be yourself
No one has to know what you are feelin'
No one but me and you
I won't tell, your secrets
Your secrets are safe with me
I will keep your secrets
Just think of me as the pages in your diary
Piper walked across the street slowly, holding the photo tight to her chest. More tears fell freely down her face, partially from Leo and partially from seeing Mom. It was a big shock to see the mother that she hadn't seen for 10 years in her dream.
'I shouldn't tell Prue and Phoebe.' Piper decided. 'Prue will start feeling bad about mom, and Phoebe will want to know what she was like. It's just too hard to talk about.' Piper stepped up onto the front porch and swung the door open.
Prue pounced on Piper was soon as she stepped inside the door frame. "Where the hell were you?" Prue yelled. "I saw you walking towards Leo house, then I blinked and you were gone." "I went for a walk." Piper answered.
"Where did you get that?" Prue asked, pointing at the picture still held against Piper's chest. "I was walking past Chris's house, and his mom came out and said she had found this. Chris already had one, so she thought I might like it." Piper lied quickly.
Prue pulled the photo out of Piper's grasp and examined it. "Fine. But if you don't tell us where you're going again..." "Piper, darling, are you hungry?" Grams questioned, walking into the front hall. "Not really, Grams." Piper answered. "I just want to go rest."
"Okay, dear. I'll save some food for you again." Grams said. "Thanks a bunch, Grams." Piper gave Grams a kiss on the cheek in appreciation, then walked up the stairs and into her room. "What did you do that for, Grams?" Prue asked.
"Prue, darling, you need to let your sister be. She's going through a lot right now. Couldn't you just be a little more understanding?" "I'll try. But, honestly, this hormonal stuff isn't helping much." Prue grumbled as she walked into the living room. Grams chuckled then returned to the kitchen.
Piper closed her door softly, set the picture on her desk, then laid down on the bed. Everything was moving in slow motion. It didn't feel real. 'This isn't the way it should be.' Piper thought. She could feel more tears forming in her eyes, and tried to blink them away.
"Grams, have you seen my diary?" Phoebe yelled from downstairs. "No, darling. Try the bookshelf in the sunroom." Grams answered. 'Phoebe, you are a genius!' Piper exclaimed to herself. She jumped off her bed and started searching through her desk.
After about ten minutes of desk-wrecking, Piper finally found the diary Grams had gotten her for Christmas two years ago. Piper touched the black velvet cover that had used up almost all of Gram's savings. But Piper had wanted it more than anything, and Grams had used everything to buy it.
Piper laid down on her bed and used the key she had found hidden away in her drawer to open the small, gold lock. The pages still smelled new as Piper opened up to the first page. Piper got back up and grabbed a pen before settling down and starting to write.
I'm sittin here alone
Thoughts of you run wild
I'm longin for your touch
Haunted by your smile
No use in tryin to erase
No one could ever take your place
'Dear Diary,
I guess this is my first real entry, and I have a lot on my mind. First, and most importantly, is my crush, Leo Wyatt. I know he's the most popular guy in school, but I think that I love him. I know it sounds extremely complicated, but it really isn't.
Leo lived here before we even moved here. We became friends instantly, but once I started turning into a woman, I started having feelings for him. It's kind of embaressing to have a crush on your best friend, but it happened to me and I...'
Well I remember how it use to feel
back when our love was strong and real
And I remember tears in your eyes
And I looked at you and said goodbye
All I want right now is to forget
Every single thing that I regret
And drown out these embers...but I remember
'I guess I really miss him. See, this morning, Leo left for good. His dad got a job in New Jersey, so his whole family moved. I don't know if I'll ever see him again. I really want to, because I didn't get to tell him how much I love him.
I also don't know if he likes me back. I've kept my feelings hidden from him. One time Phoebe blurted out that I had a crush on Leo right to his face while we were in his basement. Leo looked at me, and I told him my sister must be crazy.
But if I hadn't lied, I might know if Leo feels for me like I do for him. Oh, how many times I wish I could turn back time and change everything I've done. Then mom might be alive, and Leo would know how I feel and ask if I would be his girlfriend. I wish.'
It's yesterday again
Here inside my mind
And I can't find a way
to leave your love behind
I wanna wake up to the day
Your memory won't stand in my way
'I can't stop thinking about this morning. Could I have done something differently to change the outcome? Maybe I could have remembered Leo was leaving, so I could have gotten there earlier and said it before everyone showed up.
Or maybe I could have just told Leo how I was feeling when I first knew I really liked him, then I wouldn't be in this predicament. Why does life have to be so complicated, where every little thing you do has the biggest consequences in the world?
Becca says that everything happens for a reason, and so did mom today when she came to my dream. It was really weird, because mom has been dead for ten years. I wasn't sure that it was her, because I don't remember mom that well, but something inside me told me it was her.
I think the only reason I saw mom was because I snuck into Leo's house just ten minutes ago. So, when I do something illegal, I don't get consequences? Life is so confusing. But I think sneaking to Leo's house was the best thing I've ever done.
Not only did I get to see mom after I lost consciousness for a minute, but I also found a cross necklace and a picture of Leo in Leo's old desk. I gave Leo the necklace after we went to Disney Land, and Grams took that picture the year that Dan and Jenny were going to move.'
Well I remember how it use to feel
back when our love was strong and real
And I remember tears in your eyes
As I looked at you and said goodbye
All I want right now is to forget
Every single thing that I regret
And drown out these embers...but I remember
'I still can't believe I didn't get out how much I really love Leo. I mean, it was just me and him, and he was listening contently. The perfect time, and I blew up. But after I told him I couldn't believe he was leaving, I swear I saw his shoulders shrug in disappointment.
It may have just been me, but for a second it looked like he was totally sad I couldn't get out the truth. Maybe he does like me a lot, and just won't tell me until I get up the courage to tell him. It may never come out, then, because I don't know if I'll ever be able to tell him.
I suddenly just got the strongest urge to go look for something. I know it will remind me of Leo always. Talk to you later.'
Piper closed the diary, reattached the lock, and shut it. She got off her bed, and set the diary and key on the desk. 'Now, where did I see that bracelet?' Piper asked herself. She had seen it the other day, but hadn't thought anything about it.
Moving towards her drawer, Piper opened the top of her jewelry box and looked around. Not there. Piper opened one of the four drawers and looked around. Still not there. Piper opened the next two drawers, but didn't find the bracelet.
Finally, in the fourth drawer, Piper found it. The bracelet Leo had given here when he had gone to Hawaii. There were 7 dolphins jumping around the band, each filled with a different color gem. It had been a present for watching Max.
Piper clasped the bracelet around her wrist. It still fit! 'I'm going to wear this everyday, so I can always think of Leo no matter if he really does like me or not. I love him, and that's all that matters.' Piper laid down on her bed and drifted into a light sleep.
Well I remember how it use to feel
Back when our love was strong and real
And I remember tears in your eyes
As I looked at you and said goodbye
All I want right now is to forget
Every single thing that I regret
And drown out these embers...but I remember...ohhhhhh
And I remember...ohhhhhh
Oh I remember ya baby...
All of you my baby
