A Love Retreat

When I got back to the ArgoII I tried to dodge all of my friends, and tried to make a clean get away to my room. I just wanted to be alone.

I finally got into my room, and I slammed the door behind me. I had so many different emotions playing with me, I just had to let them all out.

I laid belly down on my bed, heavily sobbing into my pillow. I hadn't cried that hard since my mother died. And it wasn't the little tears people cry when they're sad, it was that rare true sob you can only hear once in a life time.

It had been a few hours or so before I heard a light knock on my door.

"I don't want to see anyone at the moment," I said weakly.

I heard a little clicking noise before my door flew open. Piper stood at the door way proudly holding up a bobby pin.

"Leo?" she said putting the pin in her hair.

"I told you I didn't want to see anyone."

"It's okay, it's okay," she said as if talking to a small child, "Just tell me what happened."

I think she put charmspeak in her words because I ended up telling her everything from me fixing her fountain, to her and that "James" character.

"Oh," she said putting her arm around me, "Things will be better, I know it."

I knew it couldn't get better, though. Nothing ever seemed to get better for me.

I rested my head on Piper's shoulder and started to sob again. She just held me there, and I had to admit that Piper was like a big sister to me.

"It's gonna be okay," she told me, "It's gonna be okay."
