INDEX CARD
TITLE: Lost and Found
AUTHOR: namjai
TYPE (one-shot, chapters, part of a series): one-shot
RATING: (K, T, M, MA): T
LEAD CHARACTERS: Chris, Wyatt, Piper
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS: Penka, a demon
SHORT SUMMARY: When it feels like you’ve only made things a thousand times worse, maybe it’s time to call it quits. Set just after Prince Charmed.
I will get my son back, and when I do, I don't want to see you anymore.
It was one thing, in moments of self-doubt, to feel like your family only loved you because they had to. If there were no ties of blood, they'd see you for what you were, and kick you to the curb.
It was quite another thing to have that proven in fact. Chris had come to them a stranger, and in a few short months, they had learned to dislike and mistrust him -- at best, tolerate him. And then, they had run out of tolerance.
She had run out of tolerance. Not Phoebe, not Paige, not even Leo for once, but Piper. Her memory had carried him through some of his darkest times, and now he had lost that.
Round and round his head the thoughts ran as he stared at the ceiling, lying in bed. He had overslept, and now couldn't find the will to get up and out of there. Lack of sleep was catching up with him. For four nights now, he had avoided coming to his little space in the backroom of P3 until he was sure the club was deserted. Then he would wake in the morning and orb out before Piper arrived for work. That had left a decent window of time for sleep on the weekdays, but he did not dare take full advantage of it. Anything to avoid talking to her. For one thing, she would probably boot him from the nightclub, and he had nowhere else to go.
He considered, as he had dozens of times before, running to her and telling her everything. He played the scenario in his mind: She would be shocked, she would be skeptical, but eventually she would believe him, and would let him come back. He was her son; she'd have no choice.
He couldn't do it.
To be continued...
