Thank you again to all those who reviewed, and here is my next chapter so I hope you enjoy
Boarding School Hell
Dr Leo Wyatt walked down the halls of the hospital, he often found it quite amusing how Piper had named her son with his surname. They had known each other long before Wyatt was born, they had been friends through high school, but it was not until she married her ex-husband that he realised how much he really loved her. When she had found out she was pregnant, Leo was there for her every step of the way to protect her, he had found out that the man who claimed to love her hurt her whenever he was angry, drunk or whatever reason he could think of, and even though Piper was pregnant he had not stopped. She had often said she named the baby boy Wyatt after Leo, for the way he helped her and the way Wyatt reminded him of Leo when he was born, with the little quiff of blond hair and the wide, expressive blue eyes. Leo was the one person, bar her sisters, who was there for her whenever she needed it, and he was happy that she had finally seen sense and let Leo protect her and love her in more ways than a friend.
"Dr Wyatt," He heard someone calling for him from the reception desk, taking him out of his thoughts, "Your wife is calling for you."
"Can you tell her I'm a little busy?"
"She says this is important."
Leo sighed, he knew exactly why his wife was calling him now, he knew he had reacted badly to Wyatt's news, extremely badly, and was actually happy when his pager had beeped, but he was shocked and needed some time to think about it carefully. He knew that when Jackson came out, Andy had struggled with it, and as much as Leo did not want to act that way he still found it awkward that his son was now gay and dating his school roommate. It's a good job I'm not your son, isn't it? Wyatt's last comment ran through his head as he picked up the telephone at the reception desk.
"Piper, I can't really talk, I'm busy," he could hear his wife's ranting on the other end of the telephone. He hardly listened to it, he knew what it was about, the way he acted with Wyatt, "Piper, I know," but he was not able to say anything to her. Now he knew why Wyatt was so hot-headed, both Piper and his real father were the same manner, but that was where they differed. Piper could control it after a point, her ex-husband could not, "Look, Piper, I'm going to have to go. I'll talk to you later. I'm sorry. Love you, bye." He hung up the telephone, before Piper could argue anything more, just at the same time as paramedics rushed in with three injured patients on wheeling beds. He rushed over to the first one to find out what had happened, that was when he realised his brother-in-law Andy Trudeau was with the paramedics, along with his partner Darryl Morris.
"Car Crash on Highway 101, five victims, three critical. This is Neil Croft, 18-years-old, driver of one of the cars, he's been unconscious the whole time…" the paramedic began to explain to Leo, as they ran into the emergency room. Leo concentrated on the young male, there was blood everywhere, and it was visible that something had caught him in his side.
"Has his parents been informed?" Leo asked, as he looked over to see that the three critical were all teens.
"Not yet…"
"He doesn't talk to them," a young boy shouted out, as he ran over to them, his arm in a makeshift sling, "He hasn't for almost two years now…"
"Sorry, who are you?" Leo asked, he needed to get this boy into surgery and find someone to inform the parents, whether he had spoken to them in two years or not.
"I'm his boyfriend," the boy explained, "Zac Haven. Neil's parents, they kicked him out two years ago after they found out he was gay…" Leo suddenly stopped and looked at the teen in front of him. His parents had kicked him out because he was gay? What sort of parents would…and then it hit home, they had obviously been shocked, like Leo, but had not been called away before something regretful had been said.
"Do you know the number for his parents at all?"
"I do," a young girl spoke up, she had a cut on her head and tears stained her cheeks, obviously nothing too serious for her, "Do you want me to call them?"
"I need you to ask them to come here straight away." Leo told the girl and then ran back to the paramedics. As they all got into the emergency room, Leo went back into doctor mode.
"What actually happened?" Leo looked up at the paramedics, but nobody knew.
"The teenagers out there were saying they were racing in the street," Inspector Trudeau spoke to Leo, as doctors and nurses ran around the three bodies on the table, "Neil was driving one car with his friend Zac Haven. Jamie Trisdall was driving the other with Katie Stevens and Jackie Granger. The said Neil's car went out of control and they both crashed, but I've only heard from Zac and Katie."
"How did they crash?" Leo asked, searching Neil's body for all his injuries.
"We found the cars both up against a lamppost, Jamie's car in the middle, both sideways."
"I take it the driver's side of Neil's car hit the other car." As Andy nodded his head, Leo began to do a proper examination. He suddenly thought of if this had been Wyatt. Not talking to him for two years and finding out he was possibly going to die. That was not something Leo could take and would have to sort it out as soon as he got home.
Andy noticed his brother-in-law feeling more for this accident than he had ever done before. Doctors always had to turn their emotions off when dealing with patients, especially ones in surgery that were likely to die, and Leo usually did, but there was something in his green-blue eyes that told Andy something was going through Leo's mind.
"Are you ok, Leo?" Andy finally spoke up, as doctors rushed to one of the other teens that flat-lined. Leo decided to stay with this teen, to locate the source of the problem.
"I'm fine, Andy, why?"
"You seem a little distant. You're not usually."
Leo looked up into his brother-in-law's eyes, "I'm fine, Andy, just some news hit me from home that's all."
Wyatt punched the wall of his room, letting out the frustration he felt. He never felt the pain so punched it again, just as his bedroom door opened.
"Wyatt!" he could hear Chris' voice, but it just seemed so far away. His anger was boiling too high, and not at who you would expect, he was angry at himself. As he punched the wall again with his bare knuckles, he felt Chris' hand grab him, "Hey, hey, stop it. Wyatt, stop it and look at me," Chris said, but it was in vain, so he grabbed the Halliwell's shoulders and shook him hard, "LOOK AT ME!"
Wyatt stopped what he was doing and looked at his lover, breathing heavily, straight into his sea greens eyes, confused almost. He was searching the eyes and then all of a sudden broke down. Feeling his legs go weak, he dropped to his knees, gripping hold of Chris, while the brunette ran his hands through his blonde curls.
"Hey, it's ok, Wy," Chris soothed, "Let it out, ok."
"He hates me," Wyatt managed to get out through the tears, "He totally hates me, and I just made it worse."
"He doesn't hate you," Chris replied softly, "He was shocked that's all. Wyatt, let me look at your hand, at what you've done." As he took Wyatt's left hand, he saw a purple bruise forming on it, that was when he looked around the room at the mess. Everything was all over the place, it was as if Wyatt had found anything that had made a noise and thrown it, which was probably what he had done, but it was going to be hell to sort this out.
"I didn't mean what I said," Wyatt cried, looking up at his lover, who looked at him sympathetically, "I really never meant to say it. It just came out and…"
"I know," Chris nodded his head, with a small reassuring smile, "I know you didn't. Follow me," The 18-year-old lead the Halliwell to the bed and sat him down, sitting next to him, taking both of his hands, "I know what you said was in the spur of the moment, and no-one's mad at you for it. But Leo doesn't hate you, what he said was in the spur of the moment too, ok?"
Wyatt nodded his head and wiped away a tear.
"I'm impressed with how you dealt with it though," Chris smiled, "I was half expecting you to punch him, but you didn't. You half controlled your temper."
"But this has all gone to hell," Wyatt sighed, "I mean, me and you and being here…with Leo and…" Wyatt trailed off, as he leaned forward to rest on his knees.
"That's the first time I've heard you call him Leo," Both boys looked up to see Patty stood at the door, leaning on the frame with her arms folded, "Erm…sorry, Aunt Piper just rang my mom. She's on her way over with Parker and…"
"Can we go for a drive?" Wyatt cut his cousin of to talk to his lover as soon as he heard his brother's name, "I can't face Parker yet, not after just now."
"Sure." Chris nodded, knowing it would be best for Wyatt to get away from everything.
"I'll…erm…go home, if you don't need me." Patty stated, pulling herself away from the frame.
"Thanks for being there tonight," Wyatt smiled weakly as the 20-year-old began to leave, "I really appreciate it, even if it did go all wrong."
"It didn't go all wrong, Wy," Patty assured him, "Your mom knows and she's happy for you. Uncle Leo will come around." At that, Patty left the boys to themselves.
"Same place as last night?" Chris asked, he was going to be driving, Wyatt was definitely in no state tonight.
"Same place."
"I don't know, Prue," Piper sighed as she and her eldest sister sat at the kitchen table, both with coffee. The dishes from the night's dinner were piled by the sink. She had just seen her son and his boyfriend leave the house…boyfriend, that was going to take some time to get used to, but she would be supportive all the way, "I don't know what to do. You didn't see them, Leo just glared, I thought Wyatt was going to hit him…I've been so worried about Wyatt turning into Jack, that I've forgotten how much Wyatt looked up to Leo, and for Wyatt to actually say out loud that Leo isn't his father it…it knocks it home to me."
"I know it does, sweetie," Prue comforted the eldest of her three younger sisters, "But don't worry, they would have both been acting out in shock…"
"But I have no idea what either of them are going to do now," Piper sighed, "Leo had to go to work and Wyatt's just gone out with Chris and…it's so weird, just a few days ago he was telling us he got Caitlin pregnant, and now that could be Parker's and…Prue, do I really have that much of a dysfunctional family? Am I that bad a mother?"
"No, Piper, you're not," Prue shook her head, "You've got two boys who love you, but go off the rails every now and again. They're teenagers. I should know, look at Riley, he's God knows where every night with God knows who. I sometimes think I'm a bad mother, but then I look at Patty, Jackson and Charlie, and realise that Riley's the way he is because of him, not anything me nor Andy have done. And you've got Matty, he's great, you know that. And Wyatt's just troubled, Piper," Prue took a breath as she looked right into her sister's hazel eyes, "What he saw was enough to traumatise any kid, but it hasn't done, and he has grown up differently because of it, but in a good way, he loves you AND Leo, respects you and I know may have not respected the girls he dated – what high school basketball captain does at 17? – but he definitely cared and wouldn't do anything to hurt them physically, I'm not going to say emotionally, because I don't know, but it's only on a teenage level, he will never turn out to be like Jack, because of the love you and Leo have provided for him."
"So how do I get him and Leo to sort this out?"
"You don't," the raven haired sister shook her head, "It'll sort itself out later. Right now, both of them need their time apart to think about what happened. Leo will be fine with it soon, I promise. Look at what Andy was like when we found out about Jackson, he took it hard, but Jackson's happy and that's all that matters."
Piper nodded her head and looked to her eldest sister with a smile. Prue could always see the light at the end of the tunnel everything.
Making the two sisters jump, Parker came running into the room. He went straight to the fridge and then looked to see his mom and aunt looking at him.
"What?"
Suddenly, the thought of what happened at dinner went out of Piper's mind as she final had a chance to talk to her middle son.
"Parker, sit down."
Parker casually grabbed a bottle of water and sat at the table, looking between his mom and eldest aunt.
"Parker, about Caitlin…" Piper started but was cut off by her son.
"Look, I know, what I did was wrong, blah blah blah, but Caitlin says it's Wyatt's.
"And she knows that, how?" Piper asked, "If you both slept with her then…"
"Mom, I've spoken to her, ok. I spoke to her today," Parker sighed, "And I know how it works, I've done the birds and the bees and all that crap. I'm not stupid, but if Caitlin doesn't want me to have anything to do with it what can I do?"
"This isn't about you and Caitlin, Parker, this is about you and Wyatt," Piper shouted, her son was frustrating her and after everything already she found her temper growing, "You should have told him, rather than have him find out from a third party. In fact, you shouldn't have done it at all, you're 16-years-old, and you were doing it unprotected?"
"How did you know…?"
"Jackson told me," Prue looked to her nephew, "He told me everything last night when he got home. You know his has a mouth like a sieve.
"Isn't it a head like a sieve?"
"Not when it comes to Jackson's mouth," the eldest sister rolled her eyes, "You should have known better than to sleep with her without protection."
"Look, can we change the subject here."
"Oh, of course we can, sweetie," Piper smiled her usually motherly smile, but it was fake and Parker knew it especially as she glared at him, "You're grounded."
"What!" Parker exclaimed, "You never grounded Wyatt!"
"Because he told me about it. He never lied," Piper explained her actions, even though she should not have to, "He did wrong, but he told me. You shouldn't have lied to me and definitely not to Wyatt. You're grounded."
"How long for?" Parker asked the most important question for any teen who has been grounded.
"I'm not sure yet," Piper replied, "But you had better sort this out with Wyatt and tell him the whole truth about what happened."
"He'll kill me!" Parker shouted standing up, "And you think he tells you the truth? Well, how about when he got suspended from school within the first two weeks of the semester. He never told you about that, did he?"
With that, Parker stormed out of the room, and if the kitchen door was not a swinging door he would have slammed it. Piper looked at her eldest sister, slightly shocked.
"Your eldest nephew is a dead man."
"What are you gonna say to him then?" Chris looked at his lover, as they sat in the backseat of the Toyota Aygo. Wyatt laid on the brunette's lap, looking up at him, as Chris curled his fingers around Wyatt's golden locks.
"I don't know yet," Wyatt sighed, looking into Chris' sea green eyes, which he could lose himself in, "I don't get why he had such a big problem with it? I mean, I tell him my ex is pregnant and it's mine and he hardly cares, but the minute I tell him I'm gay he flips out."
"It was shock, you know that," Chris sighed, "What he said…what he said was just someone who's confused and…"
"Chris, you can say it," Wyatt saw a confused look on the brunette's face, "Leo's homophobic."
"He's not though," Chris shook his head, frowning slightly, "If he was he wouldn't talk to Jackson and I've seen him talk to Jackson. He was just shocked, Wy. Man, I couldn't even imagine what my folks would have been like if I'd have told them."
"What were they like, Chris?" Wyatt asked, now sitting up, "I mean you don't have to tell me if it's too much…"
"They were great," Chris smiled, taking his lover's hand and entwining their fingers, "I couldn't have asked for any better really. We got into a few scraps, but what young teenage boy doesn't, ay?"
Wyatt smiled, he had never heard about Chris' parents, Chris would never talk about them, well not that he would not but the situation had never come up where they were mentioned.
"I loved them to bits," Chris continued, seeing the smile on the blonde's face, and he leaned against him as he spoke, "Still do. My dad was a computer technician and my mom was a social worker, you should ask your Aunt Paige if she knew her, Jane Perry. Anyway, I was their little angel, and after they died all of that stopped. You know it wasn't until I lived with my grandpa that I started to get into trouble at school. My grandpa blamed it on the fact that I blamed myself for not being in the car crash because I wanted to go to Trinity…"
"You wanted to go there? You never told me that one."
"Yeah, I wanted to be a boarding school brat…" Chris smirked, "Nah, it was all to do with being a good boy for mommy and daddy, I wanted to make them proud. So, yeah, my grandpa thought I blamed myself and got myself into trouble to see if I could get out of the school…"
"But it wasn't like that?" Wyatt questioned as he stroked the back of his lover's neck.
"I suppose part of it was," the brunette answered, having the soothing feeling of Wyatt's finger on his neck make him feel drowsy, "But not fully. I was going through my rebellious teenage years and didn't really have anybody to stop me. Hmm…Wy, you're gonna send me to sleep."
"You want me to stop?"
"Not really, it feels nice," Chris confessed, "But I thought you wanted to talk?"
Wyatt sighed, not stopping what he was doing, and kissed his lover's head.
"Go to sleep," the blonde whispered, "I just didn't want to be at home while Parker was up."
As Wyatt watched the brunette sleep, he thought of what was going to happen now. There were two people he was going to have to apologise to now, but who did he apologise to first? Who did he sort everything out with first? Leo, who had raised him for 14 years, treated him like his own, or Parker his stupid, idiotic younger brother, who had betrayed him in one of the worst ways a brother could. But what Wyatt did not know was that there was more to come before anything could be sorted out.
ok, just a little chapter filler before I get to a little more drama. So, I hope you enjoyed and please review to let me know.
