Chapter 1: The Truth is Out

"So why haven't you told them yet?" Billie asked looking upon the beauty she was currently straddling. Two weeks ago Billie would never have imagined that she would be lying in Phoebe's apartment, well she would've imagined that but she never would've suspected the brunette goddess to be lying beneath her. She had dreamt of this moment ever since she met the sisters, the real sisters. The instant she saw the real Phoebe she was a goner; her gorgeous brunette locks that matched her dark chocolate eyes, the eyes that she stared into on numerous occasions, her full lips that screamed 'kiss me' every time she saw them, and her body, that slender yet powerful body she had seen kick demon ass over and over; all of it intoxicated Billie to no end. But it wasn't just the physical characteristics that had attracted her, well okay it was the physical stuff when they first met, but after getting to know one another and numerous battles fought side by side, Billie had discovered the real stuff; her undying love towards her sisters, the passion she held towards saving innocents, her fiery personality, amazing sense of humor, basically, everything about Phoebe had Billie hooked. Knowing all this, knowing how deeply she felt for the older girl it killed her because Phoebe kept avoiding the matter at hand, telling her sisters.

"I just don't think that it's…" but Phoebe trailed off when she felt Billie's lips sucking torturously slow on her neck.

The second the hesitation in Phoebe's voice left her mouth Billie knew that she had to stop the brunette's protest. It had been like this ever since they started sneaking around. Billie would ask and plead for Phoebe to tell her sisters about them but it was always the same. Phoebe would list off ever reason that they shouldn't tell Piper and Paige that they were dating and every time Billie's heart would break a little more, each excuse that left Phoebe's mouth put another grain of doubt in her mind that Phoebe was just using her. She loved Phoebe with a passion that she had never felt for anyone before and it scared her, because she knew that with one word Phoebe could either destroy her world or make it the happiest place ever. As time went on Billie realized that the only way to stop the doubt in her mind she would have to stop Phoebe from putting them there.

So just like the many times before Billie resorted to Phoebe's weakness, sucking slowly on the spot just below her ear. One day during her quest to familiarize herself with Phoebe's body the blonde discovered that Phoebe turned to putty whenever the blonde's lips came close to this area. It was a rush knowing that with this one action the love of her life would swoon.

"Billie…" Phoebe moaned loving the sensations that were coursing through her body. She had never been more aroused in her life and Billie was only sucking on her neck, I wonder what would happen if we went further? All coherent thoughts flew from Phoebe's mind when she felt Billie's nimble fingers slowly work their way under her tank top. Billie couldn't help but smile when she heard Phoebe let out a satisfied moan. I knew she wouldn't be able to resist me.

As quick as the moment had heated up it was cooled. The knocking on Phoebe's door broke the girls apart both breathing heavily. Their eyes connect and they knew that this short lived moment was over. It wasn't unusual for their time together to get cut short; it seemed that every time they could find a moment to be together something came up, usually it was either Piper or Paige looking for something. "Phoebe open this door immediately!" Piper's muffled cry voice echoed through the wooden slab.

"That's my queue," Billie sighed sadly as she removed herself from Phoebe's lap allowing the brunette to get up and straighten out her outfit. "I'll just be hiding now," she moped walking slowly over to Phoebe's bedroom keeping her shoulders slumped and head down wanting Phoebe to know just how much she protested hiding.

Phoebe walked the sulking blonde wanting to call out to her to stay but despite her desire to tell her sisters about them there was still that ounce of doubt that her sisters were still angry with Billie. She sighed as she watched Billie shut the bedroom door and waited for the lock to click.

"It's about damn time," Piper huffed not waiting to be invited in as she stormed past Phoebe. Paige walked in behind her giving an apologetic look. "What took you so long?"

"I was changing," Phoebe lied, this had become a habit for her ever since things with Billie started; the lying, avoidance, and all around aloofness.

"Where have you been?" Piper asked cutting to the chase. It had been two weeks since the final battle and neither Piper nor Paige had seen or heard much from Phoebe. At first they chalked it up to the shock of finally being free from demons for a while. But as the time passed they realized that something was wrong, something deeper. It also baffled them that Coop had suddenly disappeared, he was supposed to be helping Phoebe find her true love but he vanished after the last blood had been shed, it just didn't add up.

"Here," Phoebe replied uninterested in anything Piper had to say. As far as she was concerned Piper couldn't talk to her for a year and she wouldn't care, all that mattered was her and Billie.

"Ha," Piper deadpanned not liking Phoebe's dismissive tone. "Why haven't you come by the manor since the battle?"

"I've been busy with…things," Phoebe hesitated not knowing how much longer she could keep this charade up. Sure she was scared as hell to tell her sisters about her relationship with the young blonde but she was more scared of finally telling everyone the truth to only have it ripped from underneath her. When she was Billie's age she was living it up enjoying everything that life had to offer and was most certainly not thinking about settling down with someone eight years older than her. And for this reason Phoebe knew that Billie was experimenting, their relationship was just a way for Billie to get those unexpected urges out of her system. She didn't blame the blonde for she had done the same, it just sucked being on the other end knowing that this could never last. In the end Phoebe just hoped that she and Billie could remain friends, it would crush her more to lose Billie entirely than have her heart broken; plain and simple Phoebe couldn't survive without Billie.

"Things…" Piper repeated quizzically. "What sort of things? And why did Coop suddenly up and disappear? Because it seems like he still has a job to do, I mean you are still single aren't you?" She asked trying not to sound too harsh. Phoebe sighed as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail, why can't they just leave me alone…well not alone exactly. "What is THAT?"

"What?" Phoebe asked put off by Piper's outburst.

"Is that a hickey?" Paige asked squinting her eyes at the mark on Phoebe's neck. She took a couple steps closer and smiled victoriously. "Yup, definitely a hickey, who's been sucking on your neck?"

"No one," Phoebe squeaked knowing that she had to think up something quick.

"No one," Paige repeated skeptically. "Please Pheebs, we're not stupid, we know that hickeys don't just magically appear." The room grew silent as Piper and Paige stared at Phoebe waiting for an answer from their blushing sister. The silence was starting to consume Phoebe's thoughts when she heard a thud come from her room, crap! I hope they didn't…oh shit they did. "What was that?"

"I don't know," Phoebe said trying to hide her nervousness.

Piper raised an eyebrow, her years of demon fighting kicked in as she, with a flick of her wrists, blew the door to pieces, that'll teach any demon to sneak up on us. The sisters cautiously advanced into the room.

"Jesus! What the hell was that for?" Billie shrieked from under a pile of what used to be Phoebe's bedroom door.

"That's for scaring the hell outta us," Piper shrieked back with an angry undertone. She was still pissed at Billie for what she had done to them. Deep down she knew that Billie wasn't evil and she didn't let it slip her memory that Billie had vanquished Christy but she still used Wyatt to gain the Hallow and that didn't sit right with her. "What are you doing in there anyways?"

"She was hanging out with me before you two came over," Phoebe interjected as she walked over to make sure Billie was alright. But sure enough there was a cut below her right eye and a small gash on the left side of her forehead just below her hair line. "Let me clean those up for you," Phoebe whispered gently she didn't want the over concern in her voice to be heard by her sisters.

"I'll be fine," Billie smiled reassuringly. Phoebe raised a skeptical eyebrow knowing that Billie was lying. "Really, I'll be fine."

"Okaaaay," Paige said. "But why did you hide in her room?"

"Because I know that I'm not your favorite person right now so I decided that I didn't want to get bitched at," Billie spat, some of her anger fueled at the sisters but most of it towards Phoebe. She had just been given the perfect opportunity to tell them but chickened out, I guess I don't mean anything to her. "But don't worry I'm leaving, I have a date I need to get ready for."

"A date?" Phoebe whispered in shock, so this is what it feels like to be sucker punched.

"Yeah, a date," Billie remarked instantly noticing the angry undertone in her voice. She winced at the sound of it, I hope she didn't notice…too late. Billie saw Phoebe practically recoil into herself at the harshness of her voice.

"Have fun," Phoebe smiled weakly at the blonde knowing that her lame attempt at being okay with Billie's date was falling drastically short of her expectation.

"Yeah," Billie sighed regretfully as she turned towards the door avoiding the puzzled gazes of Piper and Paige.

Phoebe watched Billie walk away her shoulders slumping with every step Billie took. In the back of her mind she knew that her secret relationship with Billie was out and that she should be worried but she couldn't help the feeling that she didn't care. It didn't matter that Piper and Paige knew, all that mattered was the Billie had left; she left to go on a date and left her behind with a broken heart. This isn't her fault Pheebs, it's yours and now you have to deal with it.

"What the hell is going on?" Piper asked not bothering to hide her annoyance towards her sister. She started to tap her foot impatiently as she waited for Phoebe's response. It was a rare occurrence when the sisters would hide anything from one another so the fact that Phoebe was suddenly hiding something about Billie unnerved Piper especially after everything that they've been through.

"Nothing," Phoebe chocked out, the clutching feeling ripping through her chest was making it difficult for her to focus on anything else. Billie's word just kept running through her head, it was a marathon of words that wouldn't stop, I have a date I need to get ready for…a date, how could she have a date…unless she's only using me. The clutching feeling in her chest tightened at the thought.

"Bull shit," Piper screamed. She was not about to listen to her sisters BS and let her get away with it, Phoebe was going to explain herself and she was going to do it now. "What is going on between you and Billie? Don't think about giving me anymore of this 'nothing' crap. We know that something is going on."

Phoebe sighed in defeat. "We were seeing each other but as you can tell that isn't happening any longer." She didn't bother looking at her sisters; she knew the faces they would have. Piper would be furious and Paige…well she assumed that Paige would be furious as well.

"Oh Pheebs," Paige sighed taking steps towards her sister. She pulled Phoebe into a hug hoping that she would be able to get through to her mostly stubborn sister.

"I can't believe she used me," Phoebe cried into Paige's shoulder. The cat was out of the bag so she might as well use it to her advantage maybe her sisters would even see sympathy in her and help her out. "I thought that what we had was the real deal. Coop even said it was but now…she's going on a date!"

"Why didn't you tell us?" Piper asked.

"How could I tell you?" Phoebe screamed in dismay. "You claimed your undying hate towards Billie and you expect me to tell you that I'm dating her?" At this point in time Phoebe had broken from Paige's embrace and stepped in front of Piper. "And if I had told you that I was seeing Billie what would you have done? Would you have welcomed her back into our lives with open arms? I think not. You would've just disowned me and gone one with your perfect lives."

Piper stepped back in shock. "Do you really think that little of us?" She asked pointing to herself and Paige. "Do you really think that we would've disowned you because you told us that you were dating a girl?"

"No," Phoebe sighed. "I know you'd be ok with me dating a girl it's just who I was dating that I knew you wouldn't be ok with."

"It probably would've been hard at first but we would've gotten used to it," Paige reasoned.

"It's a little too late for that," Phoebe sighed.

So there is the start of my new story. As you can probably tell by my name I originally set up an account for my love for One Tree Hill. I was watching a Charmed rerun the other day and I decided to check out what this site had to offer. What I found kinda shocked me, never before had I thought of Phoebe and Billie as anything more than just friends. But after further research (watching season 8) I realized that there really was something there. So that's where this was born. I know that it's kinda like some of the other Phillie stuff out there but I hope that doesn't discourage you from reading and sticking with me.

Let me know what you think, I really want to know how I'm doing with this pairing.

=D
