Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed, only this idea, and part of it isn't even my idea, because I got the idea off of something in America's Next Top Model! Ok, I'll shut up now...

Lalalalala...

Last chapter guys! I know, it's sad, but all good things come to an end. Thanks for reading!

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

I slipped inside the movie theater, clad in jeans and a turquoise tank-top. It had been a month since that night at the party and things were looking up for Leo and I. The school year was coming to an end, him and I got into colleges close to each other. All we had to do was wait for graduation. I couldn't spot Leo, so I waited inside for what seemed like an eternity. I felt someone grab my arm. I opened my mouth to scream but a hand clamped over it. "Shh..." I whipped around and was face to face with Leo.

"Leo!" I yelled angrily. "You scared me." He grinned. He swept me up in a hug.

"It's alright, you're safe now," he said seriously. I glared at him and got in the ticket line. "Fine. What are we seeing?" We glanced at the list of movies. "Do you see anything other than Indiana Jones? We could go see that."

"Or..." I said, feeling like torturing him. "We could go see WallE. Please!" He shook his head and I pouted. He looked away. I turned his face back, sticking my lip out more. He glared at me and said,

"Curse you. Let's get our tickets," he grumbled. I grinned. We paid for our tickets, got our popcorn, candy and soda and headed inside.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

"Wasn't that great!?" I said, looking at Leo. He shook his head. "Just because it was computer animated doesn't mean it wasn't good. It was hilarious, Leo. Admit it." He turned away.

"You were getting back at me for forcing you to watch Fool's Gold on our first date. You admit it," he muttered mutinously. I smiled and nodded. "Let's go out for pizza." We left the theater, throwing our trash out on the way out.

"Oh, Leo, it wasn't that bad. Do you want to go for a walk in the park instead? We're finally alone!" I said, taking his head in mine. "Forget the pizza, Leo! It's a beautiful night, it's warm, the stars are shining! Oh, come on!" He looked at me for a long time before answering.

"Let's go," he sighed, pulling me all the way to the park. We walked for a long time before either of us said a word. We found a bench and sat down. Leo took a deep breath.

"Piper."

"Leo." I looked at him, searching his face for anything. But he wouldn't look back at me.

"You and I have been dating for a while, including before we broke up. You and me have known each other for even longer than that. I was the first to know your big secret, and we both love each other deeply. At least I think we do-"

"Leo, what are you trying to say?" He finally looks at me. I stare into his eyes, looking deep into the blue-hazel orbs there. He slipped something out of his pocket and gave it to me, silent as the moon above us. I opened the velvety box. Emersed in the fake velvet foam was a ring. There was a green jewel embedded in the white gold ring. Inside the ring it said 'Always and forever-Love Leo'. I looked back at Leo. "This better not be your idea of a proposal."

"Not a proposal," he said, wounded. "Even I know we're too young. Just a promise." I tilt my head in confusion. "A promise that you'll wait for me. You'll wait for me until we're out of college when we can get married and live together forever." I look at him.

"Leo, we're so young-"

"I know. That's why I gave that to you. Do you promise?" he stared at me with love etched in his features. But there was something else there. Fear. Fear of if I said no. I took a deep breath and inched the ring onto my fingers.

"I promise."

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

I looked up at Principal Gerrard, who was giving a long boring speech about the school and teachers. I glanced back at the W section. Leo had been trying to catch my attention. He tossed a rolled up piece of paper, underhand, to me. Mr. Gerrard gave him a hard look without breaking his lecture/speech. With my foot I dragged the paper to my seat. I opened up the paper and read.

After this one last boring class we begin our life!

I looked back at him and sent him my message. Stop getting into trouble! He stuck his tongue out at me, but smiled. I pointed to my ring finger, the one holding the ring with a motherly look on my face. He sat back in his chair, defeated. I smiled back and turned toward Gerrard.

"...And that's why San Francisco High is proud to let these kids go off to begin their future!" He stepped off the podium and motioned for Ms. Pines to begin her speech. She was one of my favorite teachers, but I decided to just drown her out. I looked at the kids around me. We were graduating! Finally.

"...I have the honor to present to you SFH's Class of 2008! Congratulations and good luck!" Everyone whooped and clapped, but I didn't. I couldn't. I saw my parents looking so proud but there was something missing. Something that should have been there. I got up to go to my parents but I heard a scream. I whipped around and saw Kyle. He was grinning. With a gun. He aimed and fired. The world spun before my eyes as I felt something slice. I fell back. The last thing I felt was a crack as my head hit the concrete.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

"Piper, Piper, wake up!" I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes to an all white room. I couldn't see the ceiling, and I couldn't see the wall. All I could see was the person standing in front of me. Someone I hadn't seen in years.

"Paige! Wha-how?" I stutter, stumbling back. She looked at me with pain.

"Oh, Piper, you blamed yourself. It wasn't your fault. It wasn't anyone's fault except Kyle and Glenn's. But that's not why I'm here." She held out her hand. "I'm here to take you home." I opened my mouth but no words came out.

"Where am I?" I asked, fearing the answer. She nodded, knowing what I was thinking. "No, no, I can't be dead. I'm finally happy, you can't take that away!" I let a sob escape my lips. She looked at her feet.

"I'm sorry, Piper. But's it's your fate. It's your time," she answered. Paige grabbed my hand, squeezing it for reassurance. "Don't worry. Everything will work out." I nodded, letting her lead me to a shining portal. I couldn't see beyond it, but I knew what was behind it. The end.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

I glanced around and saw clouds. I looked toward Paige. "Do you want to see what happened after?" she inquired. I nodded, choked with pain. She leads me to a hole in a cloud. There's a swirling surface inside. "Put your finger in, leave it in for 5 seconds, then take it out." I dip my finger inside. It's freezing! My mind tells me to take it out, but I have to see what happened to Leo. Five seconds later, I take my numb finger out. The swirls are forming as it zooms around like a tornado. Then it settles and we look in.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

As soon as Leo hears the gun shot, he screams, "Piper!" He races over to her. But it's too late. The bullet has embedded into her stomach. He moves faster but her head slams down onto the concrete of the stadium. There is a crack. Blood oozes from her cracked skull. Leo hears her parents scream as the run over to see their broken daughter. Piper's eyes are sightless. Mr. Gerrard calls the police and an ambulence while the teachers hold back the other graduates. Phoebe and Prue break through, as does Chris. He and Piper had formed a special bound since that Sticks game in Gym. Leo cradles her head as Mr. Halliwell comforts his wailing wife. Leo doesn't care that his pants are being soaked with Piper's blood. The police arrive, taking hold of Kyle who had been held back by Mrs. Wyatt and Mr. Rensor, their former Latin teacher. The ambulence arrives shortly after, but they know it's no use. Leo's love is dead. The cover her up, sliding her onto a stretcher as Ms. Halliwell screams, being held back by her husband.

"Give me my daughter! No, she's all I have left!" she sobs, claws digging into Victor's hands. But all Leo can do is look down at his bloodstained hands, his bloodstained pants, the bloodstained ground. Phoebe cries into Prue's shoulder as tears seep out of the cheerleader's eyes. Chris hugs them both, his eyes wet but nothing coming out. Leo is neither. He is just stone as he looks down at where his broken love once lay.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

I trip back, tearing myself away from the scene before me. Paige looked back at me, trying to hug me. I let her as salty tears fell out of my eyes. "I finally find a guy who loves me, finally graduate from the wretched place and this happens. I hope Kyle goes to Hell!" She nodded into my shoulder.

"Let's go. There are people waiting for you." I let her guide me again to a black circle, with swirling things flowing inside it. We stepped in together.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

Leo went to college alone and met a woman named Diane. They married after two years, but Leo never truly loved her as much as Piper. They had four kids. Three were girls, 1 was a boy. The boy Diane named Michael, and Leo begged to name the girls. Diane agreed, mystified that her husband should care so much about the girls. One girl was named Michelle after his mother, but the two twin girls he named Piper and Paige. Leo died early on in life. He was building an institute, yes, but an institute for women who were sexually abused where they could talk about how to move on with their lives.

The founder of this institute was none other than Nicky Combs, who married Chase Tylers. She named her three kids, Hayli, Amber, and Craig, just because she liked in the names. But Nicky named the institute The RAII (The Rape, Abuse, and Incest Institution). It was inspired by and in memory of Piper and Paige Halliwell.

Phoebe also went to college, but had to leave to take care of her family after her mother died in a car accident. She married a man named Jason and had one kid which she named Ashleigh, because it was Piper's favorite name. She never saw Leo or Chris or Prue again but she visited Piper's grave every week.

Prue went to college to be an English teacher, but ended up being an author instead. She mostly wrote romance, one being the romance story between Piper and Leo, newly named as Spencer and Scott, with a happy ending. She married a man named Jake, and had twins, which they named Patricia and Victor after Piper's parents, who lost everything. The last book Prue wrote before she died was about her highschool experience, under the name of P. Wyatt.

Chris went to Harvard to become a lawyer, to right wrongs and he married a woman named Casey. They had one child, which they named Marie, Piper's middle name. Chris finally righted the wrong always he dreamed of. A girl in Piper's situation, who lost her sister to two men who never went to jail because of a technicality. Well, in this girl's situation, those two men were sent to jail, thanks to Chris. He became a great lawyer because of it, and when someone asked him what made him want to become a lawyer, he only said one thing. Piper.

Kyle spent his whole life in jail. Not much to that story, but he never regretted what he did to the Halliwell sisters. And that's why Piper and Paige never saw him again.

Patty died a week after Piper when she crossed the street without looking and was hit by an on-coming bus. Victor went downhill from then on. His life ended in a mental institute. He died in his sleep, dreaming about his lost family.

Piper spent her days watching her friends and family live their lives. When Patty came to join her and Paige, Patty explained what happened at Kyle's court case. It was a no brainer. Kyle was sent to jail. There were no objections to that. Piper continued to spend time with Paige and Patty, and later Victor, still watching her friends. The one person she never watched was Leo, because she never wanted to get hurt. When Leo came to join Piper in heaven, they were finally reunited, and nothing ever broke them apart again.
