Truly Charmed (Part 3/3)

Chapter 2

"Chris.." Piper muttered with tears in her eyes.

"Anna." Wyatt breathed.

I was surprised to see so many people in the attic. Piper, Wyatt, Leo, Melinda, Pandora, Phoebe and Coop were gathered around a map.

Piper and Leo ran to Chris and embraced him a tight hug. I stepped away so he could be with them. Then Melinda came running towards me. She wrapped herself around my waist. I smiled. Pandora then came over and hugged me from the side.

Once Piper and Leo let go of Chris, Melinda ran into his arms. His smile widened immediately. Phoebe and Coop were smiling and were hugging him around Melinda.

Wyatt then went over to his brother and the three siblings hugged each other all at once.

"Where the hell have you been man?" Wyatt asked him.

I just gave Chris one look and then lowered my head. He cleared his throat to explain himself.

"Here and there." He vaguely answered.

"We have been looking for you everywhere! You as well Anna!" Piper shouted.

"It's not their fault Aunt Piper." Pandora cut in.

"Excuse me young lady?" Phoebe asked her daughter.

"It's not Mom. I know why they left. I saw it. I felt it." She explained.

"And why did they leave?" Phoebe asked Pandora.

She looked from me to Chris and we both had our heads down and our eyes averted.

"Because they knew that the elders would try and split them apart. They love each other. They're in love with each other. And as half Cupid I can sense that." She explained.

"But why didn't you tell us? We would have understood. The hell, me and you're father were you. But you didn't have to leave and not answer any of our calls." Piper said with hurt in her eyes.

"You would've made us stay. And I knew that you guys wouldn't have been fully on board with it considering the whole deal with Anna and Wyatt being written in the stars and all that." Chris answered not looking at her.

Wyatt shifted uncomfortably. Everyone was silent.

I don't blame you for leaving...

Wyatt's thought echoed through my head.

It was so strange to hear his voice inside my brain again.

I would...I wouldn't be surprised if you're parents ask me to leave considering I'm the reason their son went M.I.A for almost a month.....

I sent my thought back to him.

They won't kick you out. Chris and I won't allow it.....

His voice was so calming and forgiving.

Thank you Wyatt..you've been so understanding even though I've taken you're brother away....

I thought.

I saw him smile.

Don't worry. I've sort of enjoyed not having him moping around....

His thought sounded cheerful in my head. I let out a little giggle.

I doubt you'll believe me but I've missed you in my head.....

I smiled.

You're right. I don't believe you....

I saw him wink at me. We both smiled and laughed in the midst of the silence.

"Hey!" Piper began. "Now that you're back under the same roof doesn't mean that you can joke in each others thoughts when everybody is around."

Oops, we've been brain busted....

I sent the thought to Wyatt and I saw him crack up.

"Sorry Mom." Wyatt apologised with laughs.

I caught a glimpse of Chris' expression through the corner of my eye and it was a mixture of jealousy, hate and hurt.

Phoebe was looking around at all of us with her faced scrunched up.

"Alright there's too many feelings for me to deal with right now so let's all just go downstairs." Phoebe announced.

Chris finally let go of Melinda and everybody filed out of the attic. Chris and I stood alone.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that I-"

"Don't." Chris interrupted. "This is the exact reason why I didn't want to come back."

Chris then swiped his hand by our bags and they disappeared with orbs. He then walked out of the attic.

Great...
