Okay, so I did have this up under a different user name, foreverPheobeCole but I don't ever use that anymore and I wanted all of my stories in 1 place so I'm putting them all on this one.
this
is another song fic. I can't help it. I have Charmed on my mind all
the time and when I hear songs I listen to the words closely to see
if they go with Charmed in any way. I found that this one did. It is
a sequel to The Reason. You should probably read it first. I need
more reviews. Please read and review. Disclaimer- I don't own
Charmed or any of the characters. I wish I had Cole, but I don't. On
with the story Here without You Cole walked down the
streets of New York City, not caring about anyone or anything besides
Phoebe. She was all he could think about. He knew he had done the
right thing when he left San Francisco. It had been what she wanted,
but he kept thinking that maybe she wanted him back, maybe she still
loved him. She had kissed him, and then cried for him as he drove
off. Did that mean that she wanted him to stay? That was the only
question that his head had kept asking over and over since he had
left. He had counted the days since he had last seen her. It had been
one-hundred today. since the last time that I saw your pretty face A
hundred lies have made me colder, And I don't think I can look
at this the same He arrived at his penthouse which from the
inside beared a resemblence to his old one, the one he had shared
with Pheobe. No matter what he did it reminded him of Pheobe. When he
walked down streets he wondered if she had also. When he went into
stores or restaurants, he wondered if maybe she had been there long
ago.
He looked around at the penthouse. It was filthy, with bottles and fast food bags and boxes everywhere. He hadn't gotten around to hiring a maid. He walked to the kitchen and opened up the refrigerator and found nothing except a gallon of milk from about three weeks ago and a carton of chinese food from two days ago. He got that out and got a fork from the sink.
He
sat on the couch and started flipping through channels. He stopped
when he saw what was playing- Kill it Before it Dies- her favorite
movie. He watched it and remembered watching it with Pheobe, her
favorite parts, parts when she was scared and hid her face in his
chest. She had watched it a million times and still that same part
had scared her. He fell asleep watching the movie and thinking of
Pheobe. They disappear
now when I'm dreaming of your face "Cole, come on. Let's dance," Phoebe said pulling him from
his chair.
But all the miles that seperate
He stood up and a slow song came on. He pulled her closer to him and they danced holding each other. They went home a few hours later, laughing and kissing as they arrived at the penthouse. They continued with their kissing and then made their way to the bedroom.
End of Dream
Cole woke up on the couch and for a second thought that he wasn't alone, that the dream had been reality, but it hadn't. He stood up and walked onto the balcony. He watched below at the cars going by, the people walking down the street. He stood there and wondered what Pheobe was doing at that moment. He knew that Piper had already had her baby. Pheobe was probably helping with the new baby. Cole started to think about his son, the baby he never got to meet. He thought about what a good mother Pheobe would be. He went to his bedroom and fell asleep again thinking of a family he would never have.
I'm here without you baby But you're still on
my lonely mind I think about you baby, And I dream
about you all the time I'm here without you baby But
you're still with me in my dreams And tonight, there's only
you and
Dream "Daddy, daddy,"
the child yelled jumping up and down on the bed. "Hey,
baby," Cole said pulling in the two year old for a hug. He
looked over and found his wife not in the bed. "Where's
mommy, baby?" he asked the toddler. "Come on, Ben. I'll put you on my
shoulders," Cole said getting out of bed and then picking his
son up and going downstairs. "Hey, it's my two favorite
men," Pheobe said as she saw Cole walk in with Benjamin on his
shoulders. Cole put the toddler down and he ran to his
mother. "Good morning, Ben," she said kissing his
cheek. "Go eat your breakfast,"
"In da kitchen,"
the little boy said.
A two year old eating cereal. There's a mess waiting to happen.
"Good morning, baby," Pheobe said as she kissed Cole passionately.
"It is now," he said pulling her in for another kiss.
End of Dream With that he woke
up. He had tears in his eyes and he was breathing hard. The dream had
seemed so real. That child had seemed like his own. It hurt him to
keep having these dreams knowing that they will never happen. She was
probably already over him. He hoped that the pain would get better
with time. If it stayed the same, he didn't know if he could take
it. The miles just keep rolling as the people leave their way
to say hello I've heard this life is overrated but I hope that
it gets better as we go He tried hard to stay awake, not sure
that he could deal with another dream, but eventually he was asleep
again. Dream Cole was lying in bed, his arms around
Pheobe, just watching her sleep. She woke up and looked at him
watching her. "Hey, baby," she said still half
asleep. "Hey," he said. "What are
you doing?" she asked. "Just watching you sleep,"
he answered. She kissed him and they just laid there in each
others arms for what seemed like hours. But you're still on my lonely mind I
think about you baby, And I dream about you all the time I'm
here without you baby, But you're still with me in my
dreams And tonight, girl, there's only you and me "Pheobe,"
Cole whispered before he realized that it had only been a
dream. Since he had left San Francisco he had had dreams about
Pheobe. He had dreams about the past, and the future he wished for
with her. He sometimes was afraid to go to sleep because the pain of
seeing her and knowing that he wouldn't wake up next to her hurt him
too him, but sometimes it was just what he needed, to be near her, to
feel her. Even if it was a dream. He knew that it was the best he was
going to get. He would never be with her again. Dreams were all he
had. Everything I know, and anywhere I go It gets hard
but it won't take away my love And when the last one falls,
when it's all said and done It gets hard but it won't take
away my love Cole felt the need to be with her. He wanted to
be close to her, to hear her voice. He laid back down on his bed and
thought about her, and about that little boy that accompanied her in
so many dreams that he had. Soon he was asleep and a smile played on
his face as he dreamed. "Mommy,
daddy, watch me," the blue-eyed boy yelled. They were at
the park. They had had a picnic and now Benjamin was playing on the
playground. "We're watching, baby," Pheobe said
and then the little boy slid down the slide. "Wow! You
went down all by yourself," Cole said as he walked over to him
and picked him up and carried him over to the blanket where Pheobe
was laying down. "Mommy, you see me?" the baby
asked excited. "Yeah, I saw you. You're getting big,"
she said as she sat up and took him into her arms. Cole sat
down beside his wife and wrapped his arms around her. End of
Dream But you're
still on my lonely mind I think about you baby, And I
dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But
you're still with me in my dreams And tonight, girl, it's only
you and me
End of Dream
So was it okay. I wrote it at three in the morning when I couldn't sleep, so if it has some mistakes or is kind of boring, that's why. Please review and read The Reason
