"No, Piper, I will not let you just quit!" Elijah exclaimed. Piper closed her eyes and leaned back against the chair in the kitchen. "You are my star! I chose you and you signed the contract to be on this for a year. I also can't just reshoot everything you did with Leo!"
"Don't…ever mention his name to me again, Elijah." Piper hissed. Elijah was silent for a minute. "You went against the contract, didn't you?" Elijah finally questioned. "You fell in love with Leo. It makes perfect sense! You don't like his name and want to get off the show as soon as possible."
"Yes, I fell in love with him!" Piper admitted. Her throat choked up as tears threatened to fall. "We were lovers back in high school, sort of. I never got over him, then we got on the soap…but I know now that he isn't worth loving, so I need to get away."
"And take his daughter along?" "What the hell?" Piper gasped. "Has my life been posted in "Soap Opera Digest" or something?" "Ah, see, my brains never fail me. It's only too obvious that your leaving because of, one, the pain he brings you and two, the daughter you share. He found out, didn't he?"
"Okay, seriously, Elijah, you need to get our more often. Did you have a minor in psychology?" "One would think. Piper, I will not allow you to leave my show." Piper opened her mouth to argue. "It's not for the same reasons it was a minute ago. You need to work things out with him. I'll see you in 10."
Elijah hung up before Piper could barely say 'I'. "That is the weirdest guy I have ever met in my entire life." Piper said to the phone. She stood and hung it up on her way out. She headed upstairs and peeked in on her daughter, who was playing with toys on the floor.
"Mommy!" Rose shrieked with excitement. "Look what I did!" Piper looked at the tower of Duplo's sitting in front of her daughter. "That's great, sweetie. Look, mommy has to go to work. I need to take you with me, 'cause Aunt Phoebe can't come. Now, you can not talk to Leo at all, promise?"
"Who's…" Rose started. "Daddy," Piper corrected. "He's going to be working with me, but you can't tell him that I cried, okay?" "Promise, mommy," Rose swore. "We have to leave now. Go get your coat on and I'll be down in a minute."
Rose raced out of the room and Piper heard her little 'thud's' as she pounded downstairs. Piper went into her room and changed, brushed her hair and her teeth. When she got to the front door, Rose was no where to be seen. Piper opened the door and saw she was standing on the porch.
Rose spun around. "Mommy, I just remembered that I had that dream about my daddy telling me things, and you know how you told me to tell you who it looked like?" Piper's eyes widened and she waved her hands frantically, but to no avail. " It was him!"
"Mommy?" Rose asked, poking Piper's leg. Piper shook her head and smiled. "Sorry, baby, just got lost in a daydream." She ran her hand over her daughter's brown hair; it was just like hers. "Go get in the car." Rose sped down the sidewalk and threw the door open.
00000000000000000
"Piper, why are you late!" Marie, one of make up artists, exclaimed. "You should have been here…" "It's okay, Marie," Elijah said, stepping up beside the artist. "She called me ahead of time. Just go get her in your chair and work your magic."
"Elijah, I couldn't get someone to watch Rose, so could you please…" "I can arrange for someone to watch her." Elijah agreed. "You better not…"Piper started, pointing her finger at her boss. "Piper, Piper, I wouldn't dream of it," Elijah interrupted.
Piper kneeled down next to her daughter. "You be a good girl for Elijah, okay?" "Yes, mommy," Rose answered obediently. "And no talking to him." "Okay, mommy." "I love you." "I love you too, mommy. "Don't sound so robotic!" Piper laughed. "Give mommy a kiss."
There you are
holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Leo looked over at Piper from his place on the stage. His daughter…no, their daughter, kissed Piper on the cheek. Piper was pulled away to the make-up room and Rose was led by Elijah somewhere else. Leo still couldn't pull his mind around what had happened earlier.
"Get off my God damn porch now, Leo! NOW!" The tears started to fall like a dam that had just been cut loose. "I don't want to ever see you again. I will c-c-call Elijah and get off that fucking soap opera. NOW LEAVE!"
Leo was still rooted to his spot. His eyes had softened and he was close to tears. "Don't give me that crap! I want you to take your damn car and your fucking love for me and get away from Prescott Street …FOREVER!"
Leo took a step towards Piper. He cupped her face in his hand and kissed her forehead. "I love you." He breathed against her head. "Bye."
A tear started to trickle down Leo's cheek but he wiped it away. He still couldn't totally understand why she was giving up on him, but she had broken his heart. He also now had a daughter that was probably banned from talking to him ever again.
"Leo, get off stage! Jenny has a small part before you and Piper." Leo took a deep breath and followed his orders. Now, along with breaking up, he would have to sit and be in love with her. Before it had been what he had desired for years. Now it would be what he hoped would come.
"Don't bother expecting this to turn out on the bed again," Piper spat in Leo's ear. "I hate you." Leo closed his eyes and wanted to cry all over again like he had in the car. What had be done to make her act this way towards him?
Even though I try I can't let go
Something in your
eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I
see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go
"Okay, we're finally editing the first episode. Now we move on to episode two, where things start heating up…in a love triangle, of course." The door opened as Elijah finished his sentence. A handsome, black haired man came into the room.
"Ah, Jake, perfect timing. Everyone, this is Jake Satter. He will be playing Jennifer's other love interest, the talented violinist, Christian Thomas. Now, I'm trusting that you all have looked over your scripts, so please set yourselves up on stage and we'll get started."
Piper could tell Elijah was still a good mood about his psychology lesson with her on the phone. The bossiness that he usually held was replaced by high energy and excitement. Piper took her place off stage next to Leo. God, just being next to him made her want to cry.
"Action!" "Don't worry, Mike, I promise I'll be there." Jen recited into the phone. "Yes, I'll wear it. Now, I have to go." Leo opened the door on cue and paused. "Austin's going to be home soon. Love you, bye." Jen hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Leo asked. Jen shrieked and almost fell out of her chair. "Um…just my…aunt. I called to wish her a happy birthday." "Couldn't you have done that downstairs?" "I was taking a nap and it popped into my head when I woke up."
"I thought that both of your aunts died," Leo countered, crossing his arms over his chest. "No, one's still alive in…Alabama. Yeah. She moved there…when I was a kid." Leo sat down on the edge of the bed. "I never heard about this aunt."
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me," Jen gasped. She pushed Leo down onto the bed, with herself on top, and kissed him hard. Piper waited a minute then opened the door slowly. "Aus…oh my god!" Leo pushed Jen off of him and sat up straight.
"Jen…" Leo started. "Wait, that girl that was all over you the other night?" Jen asked. "You're still screwing her?" "Emma, please…" "No, Austin, tell me why you're about to screw her!" Piper yelled. "I thought you loved me!"
"He doesn't love you," Jen spat. "Your just his little experiment. You know that I have way better sex then you ever could!" "You bitch!" Piper screamed. "He tells me all the time that he stopped loving you the minute you got on top of him on your honeymoon."
"No, I…"Leo started. "Well, then I don't possibly know why he chose you, because you don't seem to know anything about love." "Stop it!" Leo yelled at the top of his lungs. "Please, Emma, its not what you think at all."
"Isn't it?" Piper exclaimed. "She's right. You don't love me…you never loved me. You just used me to see if I had better sex." She backed away towards the door. "God, I was so stupid. I should never have gotten myself into this mess." Piper ran off stage. Leo got up and raced after her.
"Cut! Quickly, everyone get off, we have to change the scene. Piper, be ready to keep running as soon as I yell action. Leo, be ready behind her." Jenny got off the chair and went to her purse. The crew rushed onto the stage, yanking off props and backgrounds.
Ten minutes later, they were ready. The new scene was outside Leo's house, which included a sidewalk and driveway. "Jake, you get ready too. This is your entrance." Jake took his place opposite the side Piper and Leo were on.
"Piper, start crying!" Elijah ordered. Piper wet her index finger and rubbed her eye, then ran it down her face. Leo cocked his eyebrow. "Old trick Prue taught me," Piper explained. She repeated the process a few more times then turned her face to Leo.
"Definitely looks real," Leo encouraged with a smile. Piper took a deep breath and readied herself in a running stance. "Action!" Piper ran her hardest across the stage. She looked behind her and ran smack-dab into Jake, right on cue.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry!" Jake apologized. He helped Piper to her feet. "Wow, you've either been crying or sweating really hard. What's wrong?" "My…my…boyf-f-riend…" Piper sobbed. She pointed to the house and tried to continue.
"He was cheating on you? That bastard! Come with me, I'll take you home and clean you up." Piper wiped at her eyes, where real tears were starting to appear. She would never admit they were because of Leo, not even to herself. "I don't know you."
"That doesn't matter. I think you need to get away from here. My name is Christian." Jake held out his hand. "Jennifer," Piper answered, shaking his hand limply. "Wow, a beautiful name for a beautiful woman." Jake said with a smile.
"You have got to come up with a better pick-up line!" Piper laughed. Jake put his hand around her waist, and Piper let him walk her to his car nearby. Piper's eyes widened a little when she realized it was a real black Mercedes.
The camera moved away from Piper's face as she got into the car. Leo ran down the driveway and stopped. "Pi…Please, Jen!" Leo corrected, his face blushing. Piper thought she might throw up. Was he really acting, or was this from yesterday?
"It was Emma's fault! We were talking and she just forced me onto the bed!" Jake started up the car, and Piper got a little nervous when he put it into drive. He pulled out onto a small path of cement and drove until he hit the end of it.
"Cut! That was great! Leo, great save on your line there. We'll do this second part one more time, just to be safe." Piper got out of the car and Jake backed it up to its original spot. Piper walked right past Leo, not bothering to mention the line to him.
Just cast aside
You don't even
know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see
me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone
Leo thought that the tears might fall once again as Piper brushed past him. He had cried himself to sleep the night before, praying it was all a dream. They had barely gotten together, and the one thing that he loved just as much as Piper had ruined it.
They went through the scene a few more times, then Elijah called it a day. Piper once again ignored Leo as she went to pick up Rose. Leo was rooted to his spot, not wanting to leave. If he left, he would be alone again in his house, with no warm thoughts of Piper.
Do you even realize
the sorrow I have inside
Everyday of my life
Do you know the way
it feels
When all you have
just dies
I try and try to deny that I need you
But still you
remain on my mind
Finally, Leo got up the strength to go out to his car. Piper had left as soon as she had grabbed Rose from the set's babysitter. He climbed into the car and made his way home. He crawled onto the couch when he got home, not bothering for the bedroom, and fell asleep instantly.
You're all I know
I can't let you
go
Even though I try
I can't let go of
something I need so badly
You're all I know
I can't let go
A/n: Okay, chapter 14. Its really long cuz I had a lot of ideas and the song took up space. The song was "Can't Let Go" by Mariah Carey. Plz review!
