A.N Okay first chapter off and running and now here is the next chapter.

Because

Weeks passed and Leo tried so hard to find where Piper had gone. Why had she gone?

All he found out was she had moved to San Francisco. And that's all he found out.

No one would tell him where she lived, what she was doing or even where the kids went to school.

It was no where in the papers so she obviously had kept it low key and no one had recognised them.

But how? All three now where in movies and it was pretty hard to stay unhidden.

All this just got confusing and hard to handle and Leo just let it all go.

He began to drink HARD and ALOT and that's all he seemed to do.

Each night he drank, each night he went home drunk, each morning he woke up with the worst hang over.

But yet each night he still returned to drink again.

Tonight he was kicked out of the pub he visited something bout drinking too much.

Leo didn't care he would just walk into another pub and drink some more.

Problem was Leo couldn't walk straight, his brain was fuzzy and he didn't know where he was.

People who walked passed him glared at him and the world wouldn't stand still.

He didn't care. He ran a hand through his overly greasy hair and then ran it through the bear he had grown. He didn't care bout his appearance anymore. He hadn't shaved or washed his hair in days and he can't remember the last time he ate.

But none of it mattered anymore.

Leo through his hazy eyes could see someone walking in his direction and getting closer.
It was a woman and she looked like she was in a rush.

Leo tried to avoid her but he tripped on a dislodged tile and fell forward grabbing onto her shoulders.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Piper needed to hurry. She had just come from an audition for a new movie and she was supposed to be home hours ago.

Charlotte would have gotten home from changing her hair colour and wanting to show it off and Chris needed to get to the movies with some mates he met down the road.

Piper looked at her watch. The movie had started 30 minutes ago and she had no idea if he got there or not.

She tried picking up her pace why did she park her car so far away?

Up ahead piper could see a man stumbling along clearly drunk. He definitely needed to shave and wash his hair.

Piper tried passing the guy but he stumbled and he hands reached out for her shoulders.

She quickly grabbed him before he fell further and hit the ground.

Piper's eyes landed on his very shaggy, very dirty blonde hair. Something was very familiar about this man.

She helped him stand up and looked straight into his green like eyes.

"Leo?" Piper asked unsure

The man she assumed to be Leo stood straight by himself and swayed dangerously

"That's my name. Who are you pretty lady?" he asked with his words slurred

"Why are you here?" Piper asked

"Trying to figure out where i am" he said and he chuckled slightly "dont have a clue where i am"

He swayed more and leaned forward way too far. He began to fall again. Piper grabbed a hold of him and nearly fell with him as his weight was much more than she could hold.

Piper began to do what she thought was best. She couldn't let him collapse somewhere and choke on his own vomit. She helped him walk to where her car was parked and somehow hauled him into the car and strapped him down. She climbed into the driver's side buckled in and took of toward her home.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Piper got home to find a note on the fridge saying that both Charlotte and Chris had gone to the movies and would be home later.

Knowing they would be fine, Piper turned her worries towards Leo that was standing in her hallway.

She dragged him into the kitchen and sat him down. She practically slammed the drink on the table in front of him and ordered him to drink it. He followed what he was told. The moment he swallowed the first mouthful his face screwed awkwardly as if he had swallowed a lemon.

"Don't complain just drink. I'll be upstairs if you need anything," Piper said and she left the kitchen.

Piper entered the walk-in wardrobe that as connected to her bedroom. She reached for the box on the top shelf and carried it to her bed. She opened it and inside where old clothes that Leo had left in her house in New York.

She pulled out a simple dark blue shirt and cargo pants laid them on her bed and put the box away.

She put them in the bathroom and walked downstairs.

Leo was still trying the finish the drink she had given him. She took it away from him.

"There are some clothes in the bathroom upstairs along with a razor for you to clean up. You can shower and there will be a bed ready for you when you get out." she said calmly

"Why you doing this?" Leo said his words less slightly slurred then before.

Piper didn't answer she just pulled him up and pushed him into the direction of the stairs.

Once Leo had disappeared up the stairs piper sighed and ran a hand through her hair. What could she do know? Kick him out?

Piper shook her head and began to get Leo's make shift bed on the couch.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Leo stared at himself in the mirror. He was slightly less hung over. But he still had a splitting headache.

He grabbed the shaving cream and razor and began working on the beard that he let himself grow.

After a few minutes Leo didn't recognise the man that looked back at him in the mirror. His beard was no more and his hair was the original sandy blonde that he used to have not the greasy brownish hair he saw before his shower.

Leo turned and looked at the clothes that Piper; he realised who it was helping him, had placed out for him.

It was actually his clothes. It must have been a few of his things he had left at Piper's house in New York.

But why hadn't she just thrown them out when she moved?

Leo shrugged and yawned loudly. Something she would have to ask her in the morning, he was beat. As he was about to open the door he could hear footsteps. Not just one pair but two sets of feet. Two people were coming up the stairs. Either someone was visiting Piper or the Twins where home.

Leo waited till he heard a door close before he opened the door and made his way downstairs.

He sat down on the makeshift bed on the couch which must have been his, puffed the pillow and layed down.

"Goodnight" he heard Piper whispered

"Goodnight" Leo replied and he heard her walk up the stairs.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Leo woke the next morning to the smell of something cooking.

He stretched, stood up and trudged into the kitchen.

Piper was cooking over the stove and the twins where no where to been seen.

Piper sensed someone else in the kitchen and turned around. She saw Leo standing in the doorway.

"Hey you" she said "you must have been tired, its been nearly 2 days since you fell asleep"

"Where are ..." Leo slurred out still half asleep

"Charlotte and Chris are over some of their friends' houses" Piper replied knowing who he was talking about.

After a few minutes of silence Piper had finished what she was doing and sat down by the bench soon followed by Leo.

He looked at her and she looked back.

"Why?" Leo asked hoping she would know what he was talking about

"I couldn't let you choke on your own vomit if you passed out" Piper answered

Leo shook his head.

"Why didn't you say yes?" he asked once more

Piper soon realised what he wanted to know.

"I couldn't" she stuttered

Leo became confused

"Why?" he asked once more

"Because...of...Tom" Piper said slowly

Leo just starred at her.

"WHAT DOES TOM HAVE TO DO WITH THIS???" he yelled loudly

(flashback)

Leo stood there with his nose bleeding. Tom had attacked him.

Tom wanted to go out with Liz but Leo wouldn't allow it. Tom had gotten so mad he attacked Leo brutally in the schoolyard and said his sister was next.

They were dragged away from each other the moment the teachers arrived. Tom was suspended and Leo received detention.

"I dont want to see you boys fighting again or you both are looking at being expelled" spoke the Principal.

Leo growled beneath his breath and walked away.

He caught up with Piper and told him anything,

"If i ever meet a relative boy or girl of his, i will beat them to a pulp" Leo growled venting his anger.

(End of flashback)

"I was scared" Piper confessed "A while ago i found i was related to Tom, he is my half brother, Paige's brother"

Leo eyes became wide in surprised

"When i found this out i remember what you said and i was scared what you would do when you found out that you would be related to him if you married him"

"OH" was all Leo could say

"Its because of that, is why i said no" Piper finalised.

----------------------------------------------------------------

A.N There you go. A long chapter, you found out who tom is and now Leo knows why piper said she can't.
