I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you, so
I should have held on tight
I never shoulda let you go
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself
Cause I didn't know you
Cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right here,
cause baby(We belong together)

Leo screamed as the bolts hit from every angle. They made it so very hard to move, and he couldn't orb. He could feel the burning of his skin and the pain was terrible. He had scream at them to stop but they wouldn't listen. A few stray tears rolled down his cheeks. Piper. He had to protect her against that bastard. Jeremy. He wished he 'd killed him when he had the chance. Piper should've let him. Let him end her pain. His pain would soon be over. He could feel it coming. He tried to orb one last time. He had to try.

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

Leo willed himself to stream out, in blackness. He visualised the manor. It was the first place he thought of. Piper would take care of him. No matter how much he hurt her, she loved him. Or did she? She had told him she didn't. Never would. Another tear made its way day down his face, burning there tracks into his scorched skin.

He could hear the Elders around him. Talking about him. How he must die, maybe they were talking to him. But Leo didn't much care. All he cared about right now was Piper. He was sure that the song would win her round. It was one of her favourites. She had told him. But it also had a message. For her. The lyrics told it so well, their story. She tried to deny their love but he had felt it in her kisses. Fire. In his veins, on his lips and in his mind. Suddenly the pain subsided as Leo orbed out, leaving the elders with shocked faces.

I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Saying to me
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute
This is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
"I only think of you"
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart

Piper just stared in utter bewilderment plastered all over her pretty face as she looked up at the man in her room.

"My what?" she asked again

"Your whitelighter" he repeated, a look of total calm in his navy blue eyes.

"What the hell is one of those?"

"Think of us as a guardian angel, for future whitelighters and witches."

Piper was confused "So what am I?"

Darryl let out a little chuckle, " Future whitelighter. You've done a lot of good in your life, you deserve the reward," He told her, "That is, if you continue to do it." He added and Piper nodded, what had Leo said he was….

"So, why are you here?" Piper asked

"Because, we have come to the attention of you and a relationship with a darklighter named Leo Wyatt." A darklighter! That's it!

"Oh." Was all Piper said. Her head was reeling. Magic is real, she was afuture wightlighter, Leo was a darklighter, Magic is real

"Yes. Now, Leo Wyatt is a very notorious darklighter. He had murdered scores of future whitelighters, witches and present whitelighters. You were one of cases." Darryl told her solemnly.

This was all hitting Piper hard and he knew it. He had told her about the darklighter bit, but not how bad he was. Darryl saw a stray tear blaze down her still wet cheeks, but she quickly wiped it way with her sleeve and forced a smile up at him.

"But," Darryl added, "Unlike most darklighters, Leo has a soul."

"How?" Piper asked, interested

"His father, Christopher Wyatt, a darklighter almost as bad as Leo, impregnated a future whitelighter. She gave birth to Leo. But Christopher killed his charge after Leo was born and took Leo 'up there' and raised him in evil." Darryl explained, looking down at Piper's perplexed face.

"So, he's only half darklighter?"

"Yes, and he has a soul, that's why he's so good. He can understand human emotions, blend in." Darryl told her and Piper nodded again, understanding.

"So…what's the next step?" Piper asked.

Wait I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
It ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life, baby

Leo materialised in the attic of the manor, his whole body burning for the bolts. He needed Piper right now. He needed her comforting touch, her beautiful brown eyes, her flowing brown hair, but most of he needed her legs. He loved her legs. He open his mouth and shouted for her as loud as he could but that was barley a whisper, he throat was hoarse from screaming in the sheer agony of the bolts. He opened his lungs and tried again.

"PIPER!" he yelled, it came out louder this time. She should be able to hear him if she was in her room.

He heard the sound of feet coming up the stairs to the attic. She's coming. The attic door swung open. Leo lifted his aching head to look at her. Oh shit!
