---Chapter 2---
She was stood there in the manor wondering what the hell she could do, her nephew was stood in her life, he needed someone to depend on, she was not going to allow him not to have anyone to be there for him and she was not going to allow him to fail. Lifting the cup of coffee of the side to her mouth she found herself more and more conflicted. Her heart and mind fighting, one wanting to go to Piper, explain everything let the sort this out as a family. But on the other hand Chris needed her; he trusted her...she was not going to deny him the little trust he had.
Eventually the latter won and Paige decided she was going to help her nephew, "Chris!" She called out, and waited. A few seconds passed and then the orbs began to form, they grouped together before fading leaving him stood there, her family, her nephew.
"Hay Paige, is everything okay?" He asked, he was doing it again hiding his true feelings, hiding what he really felt.
"Chris look we need to talk" Paige stepped forward, "Take a seat and I'll get some coffee" She instructed. Chris took a seat and Paige got the coffee, she didn't know exactly what to say so she just started talking, talking about how she felt.
Returning back she placed the coffee in front of him and took the seat opposite, "I have no doubt that I have told you this before...or...in the future sadly I can not remember so, I'm going to say it. Chris I was adopted at birth, I went to a great family and they looked after me. From the age of sixteen when I watched them die in a car crash I felt alone, so very alone. I lived moment by moment because I couldn't stand thinking of a future where I was alone. I had no one to go to. Chris you are someone that I know has the strength that I had and you have made it through. What you have done, coming here to save your brother it's brave, selfless and well, I look at you and see a great person. You now are alone! You have no one of your life time here. Well I have no idea what your future is like but I want you to know now do not feel that you have come to this time and your alone. You need to talk, you need help or you need to take your anger out on someone I'm here." She softened and took his hand, "I'm here Dude...your not alone and I'll help you do this"
Chris had hared this, he smiled as he felt familiarity, Paige was his rock in the future and it hadn't changed. He knew he could count on her and it helped that he now new he was able to do that here. "Thanks Paige, I do feel alone but as long as I can make sure that none of my family Die in the future and that my brother isn't killing people I do not care what I have to go through here. I just, wished he was...there for me like you are...he wasn't and that is what hurts." Chris looked down at where Paige held his hand, he thought a moment and then left silence to fall over them.
She sat in that silence looking at him and after a few moments she broke it, "Hay dude, what are you thinking?" she asked softly
Chris looked at the floor and then to her, he shrugged, "I dun no, just...I know you, I know more about you than you do. I mean, I know the past...I know the now cause I'm here and I know the future because I have lived it. But you guys know nothing about me. It's wired you know...that I have grown up with you, but you haven't grown up with me" he explained, well as well as he could his feelings and his emotions.
"I get that Chris, but I tell you what I do know about you...you're a great guy. Look, I need to understand more...about Your dad, what happened between you two. I want to help."
"About Leo, Paige you need to understand there is no way that I can...even talk to him right now. No way I can ever forgive him" Chris explained as he took his hand away from hers, Paige looked at him, "you want to know what he did to me? Which time Paige?" He asked
"How about, the time that hurt you the most?"
Chris took a deep breath and he lent back in his chair, "The...the time he hurt me the most..." He stopped again as his emotions surfaced
There back door to the manor opened and Piper pushed the pram through, Chris looked over as did Paige at them but then Paige looked back at Chris just in time to see him wipe away a tear that fell.
"Hay guys..." Piper called out, she then noticed that both looked emotional, "Sorry did I interrupt something?" She asked
Chris stood up pulling himself together, "No, nothing..." He looked at Paige who was just looking at him, "I better go" He told her. She just nodded her emotions just as high as his. Chris turned and walked over to a giggling Wyatt who was still strapped into his pram he knelt in front of him, "Hay dude, you keep smiling" he said to the young child as he tickled him.
As he stood up Piper asked him, "Chris is everything..."
"Fine...it's fine mom." He reassured then he looked over at Paige, she was sat in the same place just looking at him, "I'll be fine" the last bit was directed to the aunt that he knew was so worried for him. With that he orbed away, leaving the manor...
Paige sat there in the same place a few seconds after not moving, until Piper broke her from her thoughts, "Paige, what did I just walk into?" she asked,
Paige looked at Piper and just as she was about to speak another set of blue orbs filled the room but this time when the clumped together and then faded it reviled Leo standing there. "Hi" He greeted, "look have you guys seen Chris?" He asked
"As a matter of..."
Piper begun but before she could finish Paige stood up and took a step towards Leo, "WHY?" She asked
Leo looked at her, "Because I need to talk to him, about yesterday about his problem"
"Don't" Paige said simply
"What?" Leo was confused, "Excuse me?"
"Don't Leo, trust me...he isn't ready for that" Paige took the cup of coffee from the table and downed it, she then turned to walk away.
"Wait...you can not tell me t stay away from my son and then walk out of here" Leo called, "what ever I have done...or am going to do I need to know, so I can fix it."
Paige swung around, "Leo what ever you are going to do is something pretty big. He's broken...he was in my room all night last night, he cried himself to sleep. That kid is going through so much right now, he has left his life, his family and all that he knows to save your family, your son, his brother. Let me talk to him and I'll get him to talk to you when...when I ...when he talks to me. Dude I know this isn't fair on you but something happened to him, he has seen more than any of us can even imagine and personally I am having a little trouble dealing with his emotion along with my own the last thing that any of us need right now is a repeat of yesterday. Piper's pregnant, and frankly I can not take on anyone else's pain right now so maybe it's best if you...don't go after him and don't even attempt to talk right now"
Leo stepped forward, "I want to know what I did to hurt him so bad." He had desperation in his voice. His hands trembled as he listened to the words that Paige spoke.
"I know...and I'm sorry this is so hard on you but...Leo...a repeat of yesterday is not going to help any of us get closer to the truth" With this Leo orbed away, sadness in his eyes and desperation felt throughout his body.
Paige felt guilty, I mean of course she did but it needed to be said. Leo needed to give Chris space if he didn't Chris would not be able to save Wyatt and he would return to a world of chaos and disaster. Piper stepped forward, "Paige it looks to me like you need to talk"
She did, she needed to talk but didn't know how. "No...I can't" With this she to orbed up to her room away from them all. Piper stood in the center of the kitchen and then she turned to a gurgling Wyatt. "Well looks like its you and me dude"
Paige was stood in the window looking out onto the town. Past emotion and present situation a perfect mix to rip open the past wounds. The past came back to Paige full force and literally knocked her off her feet, he knees buckled and she slid to the floor. Tears silently escaping and her hands trembling. The solitude she felt as a teenager been mirrored in her own nephew...the pain of knowing anyone else could be going through that killed her. She may be the only one who could relate to him...the only one that knew what he was going through. These had no idea...they always had someone, Piper, Phoebe, Leo. They have always had someone...she knew what it was like and was determined to help him deal with this and to have someone. She would be his someone...
