*authors note*this is my first story, so go easy on me please :) Thanks to charmedaddict08 for helping me decide to write this story afterall. This is a phillie story, meaning it will eventually have phoebe and billie in a relationship. If you don't like it, don't read it. This story ignores the events of phoebe and coop as a couple as well as some other things, and takes place just after forever charmed. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
Phoebe Halliwell was not a happy person as she stormed into her apartment to find coop, her cupid sitting there. "Why cant you just tell me what i'm supposed to do already and so I can get on with my life" she shouted at him.
Looking amused, coop stood up and walked over to phoebe, grasping her arms and turning her gently to look at him. " As much as I might want to, you know I can't do that phoebe," he stated calmly. " I know this is frustrating for you, having me hanging around her all the time preaching about finding love all the time" he sighed deeply, turning to look out the window " Phoebe, I don't know how to make this go any faster for you, all I can do is offer my guidance and push you in the right direction." He paused, thinking, then smiled as he said, " I can tell you that you will find love with someone you don't expect, and that it will surprise you when you do" smiling to himself, he continued" but right now, I think you might find there's a friend that needs you" Then he disappeared in a poof of hearts, leaving a very confused phoebe behind.
Phoebe plopped down on the couch, sighing as she did so, Stupid cupids she said to herself, always poofing out leaving you more confused then when you started. Suddenly, Paige orbed in, casually leaning against a wall. " Hey pheebs" she said " I think Billie could use some of your famous advice" she stated. This must be what coop was talking about Phoebe thought to herself.
"Ok, take me to her then" she said grabbing Paige's hand and orbing out.

As Billie Jenkins stared down at the headstone in front of her, she felt all the things she'd been suppressing over the past few days rise to the surface. Her knees buckled, and as she lay there crumpled in front of her sister's grave, she was filled with unimaginable sorrow. She didn't even feel the rain start to fall around her, nor did she hear the soft footsteps approaching her. She did not regret what she had done; she'd already come to realize that it was the only way. Christy was far too corrupt to be saved, and she would have killed them all if Billie had not acted. But as much as she knew she had done the right thing, Billie couldn't help feeling upset. She had just killed her own sister. "I just wish things had been different," she whispered to herself. From behind her she felt a hand gently grasp her shoulder and heard phoebe's reassuring voice.
" Billie, you did all you could, but it's just better this way."
Billie slowly turned to see phoebe kneeling beside her, gazing at her with a look that showed she understood the girl's pain. Sniffing, she pushed herself onto her feet and returned her friends look.
"I know phoebe, I just can't help but feel like i've lost this huge part of me. I'm so afraid that i'm going to mess up again and end up getting someone else hurt. I don't want to go through this again."
Phoebe studied Billie's eyes, finding no regret but instead an understandable amount of sadness, and fear swimming in their depths. Taking a quick step forward, phoebe took the crying girl into her arms hugging her tightly, "Honey, i'm so sorry, I know how much your hurting right now and I wish I could take your pain away, but all I can say is that it's going to get better. I promise you that everything is going to be better. You don't have to be afraid, i'm not going to let anything happen to you"
Billie leaned into phoebe's hug, seeking the comfort her friend so willingly offered. As they stood there in the cemetery, holding each other tightly with the rain falling down around them, Billie closed her eyes, reveling in being so close to the woman she had begun to feel so strongly for. If only the older girl could feel the joy that raced through Billie's veins as she listened to phoebes heartfelt words. As she tightened her grip around phoebes waist, Billie whispered three words just loud enough for phoebe to hear "I believe you"
