Ok guys this chapter may be a little sappy, well maybe ALOT... but um, here it is haha hope you like it.

~ ;3

I woke up and Leo was gone. He wasn't where he was last night anyways. I looked all through the house. But he wasn't there. I opened one of the front windows and I saw a ladder. I went outside shivering, I cursed under my breath for not bringing with me a blanket. I saw Leo with a wrench and screwdriver in his hand. I came up behind him and hugged him. He jumped in surprise and dropped his wrench down the roof and it hit one of my flowerpots on the windowpane. I looked at him pointedly, "I can fix that." he said reassuringly. "What exactly do you think you are doing out here, in the middle of September?" I looked at him up and down and then blushed because I just realized he wasn't wearing anything but some jeans, and a muscle shirt…

"Without a jacket?"

"I wasn't cold." He mocked

"Well I am. How can you not be cold? It is like negative 50 out here"

"Well it is with you out here." He scoffed

I shivered and glared at him, "I am not negative, Repair Boy."

"Pft, whatever. So you want to go inside to get warm, I fixed the heater."

I hugged him and muffled into his shirt, " Thank you so much!"

He was actually really warm. I guess he wouldn't be cold if he is a human heater. And let me just say, he is hot. (A.N Haha I couldn't resist, I'm sorry.)

"C'mon lets get you inside, can't have you becoming Piper-pop." Leo teased.

"I-I w-would k-kick y-you're a-ass if-f I w-wasn't s-so cold-d." I shivered.

He held me tighter when we got off the ladder. I nuzzled my way to the crook of his neck.

Then I sneezed.

"Pipes I think you might be getting sick. I'm sorry this is all my fault, I have been such a pain and I drool and make you cold, I-I made you come out of the house worrying where I was and now y-your-"

Aw, I love it when he stutters it's so cute. I cupped his face gently with my hands,

"Leo its ok. It's not your fault. I am fine I just sneezed, I'm fine."

He touched his forehead to mine, then kissed my nose, and it sent a warm shock through my body. I got out our two cups and was about to look at the bottom to see the mystery I wanted to know when it was torn from my grasp. Leo had leapt over my little kitchen island and bolted up into my room, and I ran after him.

"Leo Katie Valdez!" My room was like a kaleidoscope I had painted streaks of purples greens oranges and blues, and I had a lava lamp the shone bright colors across the room.

I looked all around my room yet he still remand hidden.

I could almost feel his grin and turned around to face my bed. I looked under it and saw Leo.

"Uh-Oh" He gasped

"Leo I know you can run but you can't hide." I said completely serious.

"Please may I see the cup?" I looked into his big amber eyes. He looked hesitant. He got out from under my bed, and I took his face in my hands again. I got so close to his face to the point that our noses were touching and I could feel his warm minty breathe on my face.

"Please Leo?" I asked.

He tried loosing my gaze and looked at his feet, and he handed me the cup. I looked at the bottom of it and saw that in black Sharpie it read, 'I have always loved you and will always love you, my best friend Piper McLean, Love Leo Valdez'

I looked at him, in complete shock. He loved me?

"Leo…" He looked at me his eyes sad.

"Yeah Piper?" he asked with dread.

I didn't say anything I just looked at him in the eyes. Then I hugged him and whispered,

"I love you Leo, you are the best friend I will ever have. You are like a brother to me and I would never try and do anything to hurt you."

He looked at me,

"I love you too Pipes."

He never said as a sister though which made me ponder how he meant it.

He got up, sighed and grabbed my hands to help me up.

"Lets go make something to eat. I'm starving." He said

"Ok Repair Boy, what would you like to eat?"

"I don't know Sunshine, how 'bout, Biscuits and Gravy?"

"That sounds good to me, you have a recipe?" I asked.

He put his index finger to his temple and patted it. That told me that he had it in his mind.

"Don't worry Pipes I can make it." And he went over to the cupboards and got out pots pans flower and all this other stuff I don't feel like listing. He started mixing flower and egg and other things into a bowl. He then put something in an oven; I didn't really pay attention to what he was cooking. I was just looking at him, his features. His adorable curly hair, his hands, his lips, how he smiles so sweetly, and his amazing eyes.

When he was finally finished I was just in daze mesmerized by what he looks like. He caught my gaze for what seemed like hours. He past me a plate with biscuits and gravy on it.

"You like what you see Pipels?" and he wiggled his eyebrows and flexed.

"Shut up…" I mumbled, and shoved him.

"Its ok Pipes… I stayed up last night watching you sleep." He whispered. I looked at him again.

'I love you so much right now if only you new.' I thought to myself. Memories came flooding back to me.

~Flashback~

"C'mon Piper hurry" Leo said.

"It would help if you told me where we were going." I said out of breath.

"Just hurry" He sighed.

We had been running through the hallways for what seemed like an hour, until we came to a door. He grinned and opened it and there were stairs. I sighed and began climbing.

" Ugh! Why are there so many stairs?" I said exasperated.

"Come one Beauty Queen. Just a few more."

We climbed the last few stairs and I saw darkness and small shining lights. We were outside. Coach hedge never let us outside, not even for break. He was the worst teacher ever!

"Leo…" I said in aw.

"You don't like it?" he said worriedly.

"No I love it. This is amazing." I laughed.

I gave him a hug that was supposed to be short but he held me close so I couldn't escape his grasp. He grabbed my hands. And we began dancing, and he hummed a tune. Though what it was, I was not sure until he said,

"Its all about us." And he kissed my nose. I felt warmth go all the way from my nose to my toes. I smiled at him and we danced for a little while longer until he brought out a blanket and we slept on the roof.

~End of flash back~

"Piper?" Leo said urgently.

"Yes. Yeah. What?" I asked.

"You ok? You looked like you were in a daze, or going into shock." He said truly concerned.

It took all my will power to not go up and kiss him… Did I really just type that? I think I may like Leo as more than a friend…

"No, yeah I'm fine." I pushed.

"Ok." He sighed. "I thought I was going to have to take you to the hospital."

Oh he is so cute when he gets worried. His frown makes his eyebrows shoot up, and when he calms down they ease up and he smiles his adorable smile.

For most of the day we just spent joking around, and talking. It was getting dark and my eyes grew heavy.

"Hey Pipes, you want to watch a movie or something? It's getting late, we can make popcorn." He asked.

"Ok. And then we can watch a chick flick and talk about our feelings and snuggle." I said in a high-pitched voice.

"Well snuggling I don't mind but chick flicks, Nah-ah that's not working for me babe." He said in a husky voice and wiggled his eyebrows.

I giggled and twirled my hair, and batted my eyelashes.

We both laughed and I chose a movie 'Perks of Being a Wallflower'.

At some point I had moved from the other side of the couch to Leo's chest. I was using him as a pillow and his arm was around me.

He grabbed a blanket and stretched it across us.

I was nodding off and the movie had ended. Leo was trying to attempt to get up but he just couldn't.

I could feel him smirking, and staring at me contently. He kissed my forehead and my eyes opened. I reached up and kissed his cheek and went back to my sleep. He blushed and smiled down at me. He held me closer to him and I fell asleep to the sound of his steady heartbeat.

I woke up and Leo was still holding me close, and was fast asleep. I got up and rapped the blanket around him. He grabbed my hand and I jumped, he still had his eyes closed but he was defiantly awake. I kissed his forehead and then his cheek, his eyes fluttered and he smiled, and went back to sleep. I gently untwined his hand from mine and went to my room up to change into my jeans, and tank top, a dark blue hooded Hollister jacket, and some black Converse. I then went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I came out and saw Leo. His hair was all every which way (as usual but more, sleepy) He rubbed his eyes and stretched, giving me a good look at his muscles, and yawned. He came over to me lazily and let his hands fall from his eyes. He looked at me and his eyes grew wide.

"What?" I asked

"Uh I, um… N-nothing." He stuttered.

I went over and hugged him and told him I'd be back soon. He was still in his jeans and muscle shirt and he pouted, so innocently.

"But I will be so lonely." He walked over and hugged me again, but he took my hand in his.

"Leo don't do this to me I have to go to college." I said.

"But I don't want you to." He said and smiled sweetly.

"But I have to, if I don't then I won't find a job."

He sighed and kissed my forehead, and buried his face in my hair and inhaled deeply. I smiled.

Suddenly he jumped up and down.

"Can't you call in sick?" he said hopefully.

"Leo." I said exasperated. "I can't."

"Mmpf" He pouted into my hair.

He sighed once more and gave me a big hug, "Ok, but if you get into any trouble or somebody rapes you, just come to me and I will go beat them up." He said completely serious.

"Don't worry, I will." I said and kissed his jaw. He closed his eyes when I did, and smirked.

"Oh, this is killing me to leave I hope you know that." I said.

" Then don't go." He said. "I'm irresistible, aren't I? And you know it." He said.

"You want me to drive you there?" He asked.

"Sure, if it will help you be less upset." He grabbed his jacket and we went to my car.

On the way to my college I gave him directions and I snuggled up to him because I felt like it. I wasn't necessarily cold I just liked to feel his presence and have his company. He smiled the whole way until we got to the college, when we did he frowned.

"Can you maybe pick me up at the end of class?" I asked.

"Yes." He said almost immediately. I giggled and he blushed.

"I can stay in here and wait for your class to end, you know save gas?" He said still blushing crimson.

"Ok. That would be fine, but what are you going to do in here?"

"I can wait for you to come to the car when your class is over." He said.

"Ok."

I was just getting out of the car when he grabbed my hand and squeezed comfortingly.

I got out of the car but not before getting one last look at Leo's face. I walked towards the building, down the halls and up some stairs to my class.

Class went by very slowly (All we were really doing was review of something I already knew) and all I could really think of was what Leo was doing and if he was still there. Finally class was dismissed, and we were set free.

I ran down the stairs and through the hallways and out the building, my silver car was still there. I saw Leo's curly hair, and opened the car door. He was staring at me like I was dead.

"You ok?" I asked.

"Yeah, fine. How was your class?" He said starting the car.

"Fine, really slow and boring." I said

"It seemed like you were in there for hours." Leo said with pain in his voice.

"Leo are you sure you are ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." I noted.

"I saw Jason." He said plainly.

" Oh, um… Really I didn't know he was still in this area. Last I heard from him he left for San Francisco." I said dryly.

"I know… I thought you had ran into him and ditched me." He said sadly.

"Leo, do you honestly think I would do that?"

"Yes. You did it in high school, when you two started dating. You just kinda forgot about me and I became a third wheel." He said with pain clear in his tone.

There was silence for a long time, and then I finally whispered, "I'm sorry Leo." He and I looked like we were on the verge of tears.

He started to pull out of the parking lot and we drove home.

When we arrived home I jumped out of the car, opened the door and ran up to my room and onto the bed and covered my head with the sheets. I started to feel hot tears role down my face as memories of what I did in high school. I still can't believe why I ditched Leo for that jackass Jason.

I heard Leo close the door and come over to my room. He knocked on the door and then opened it not waiting for my response. He sat on my bed; I was still covered by blankets and sheets, and ducked under the blankets to find me.

"You ok, Pipes?" Leo said.

"Yeah… But I really feel bad about what I did Leo. I'm sorry I ever ditched you for Jason."

"Its fine." Leo said. He hugged me and kissed my cheek, his message was clear. He had me now.

So, like it? Hate it? Did anyone really read it? Oh and sorry this chapter took so long but, well i had school and stuff...

Well anyways feel free to PM me.
