Fan Fiction
A/N-This takes place just after the episode "Sleuthing With The Enemy". It's really sappy. The song (italics) is from Les Misreblas. I have no idea if I spelled that right. Ok, just read it, and please R/R!

"On My Own"

by Joan

It was a black endless night. Stars twinkled, cold diamonds in the velvet of the sky. A chilly breeze howled through the trees. Pheobe Halliwell shivered a she opened the door to the mausoleum.

On my own.....pretending he's beside me.

She went inside, having given Prue and Piper some lame excuse about needing air. They'd bought it, thinking that she still needed to 'work through the pain'. At least they wouldn't follow her.

The charred black spot on the gray cement was the only reminder of what had happened here a week ago. Strange, now, that she should still remember every detail. Strange. But not strange at all.

All alone, I walk with him till morning.

She squatted down by the marking and ran her hand along the stone.

"Talk to me, Cole."

The memories hit her, an uncaring wave. Cole dancing with her....kissing her goodnight...his smile...saving her life....

Leaving.

Without him, I feel his arms around me.

She closed her eyes. The greif was so intense. Not the pain that comes from death, but the pain because maybe, he was still out there, fighting for his life, and she couldn't do anything to help him.

But maybe, if he was still out there, maybe they could be together again.

Maybe, just maybe...

And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me.

"I love you, Cole," she whispered to the silent night.
