Chapter 2
Phoebe woke up and saw Darryl and a doctor watching her.
"I'm okay" said Phoebe standing up.
"Phoebe calm down" said Darryl. "I called your sisters"
"They don't care" said Phoebe. She walked out of the room. "Where's Cole?"
"Still in surgery" said Darryl.
"How could you let this happen?" asked Phoebe emotions getting the best of her.
Darryl was taken aback.
"I'm sorry" said Phoebe.
Darryl hugged her. "I'll get you some water"
Phoebe nodded and sat down in the waiting room. Darryl came back after a short time holding crackers and a cup of water. Phoebe gratefully took them.
"Thanks" whispered Phoebe.
Darryl saw Phoebe was shaken and knew that her and the ADA took their friendship to the next level. That they have grown closer romantically and Darryl felt bad. Phoebe was like a sister to him and he prayed to God that Cole would make it.
"How long have they been in there?" asked Phoebe.
"An hour" said Darryl. "We have a long wait to go"
Phoebe finished her water. "How?"
"There was a robbery" said Darryl. "He saved my life"
This was really the first time he really realized that. He could be the one in surgery fighting for his life. Prue and Piper entered the waiting room with Leo.
"I want you to leave" said Phoebe.
"Phoebe this morning" started Prue.
"Made me realize that you will never accept Cole as the man in my life" said Phoebe. "Will never accept that he is not a demon"
Darryl silently gasped. He was right, Phoebe had grown closer to Cole.
"Darryl told us you collapsed" said Piper.
"I'm okay" said Phoebe. "I just want you to leave"
Prue shook her head and walked away.
"Stay with her" said Piper to Leo. He kissed her and Leo sat next to Phoebe.
"Everything will be alright" said Leo.
"I hope so" said Phoebe.
2 hours later
The doctor entered the waiting room.
"How is he?" asked Phoebe jumping up.
"I'm Dr. Grady" said the doctor.
Phoebe nodded.
"After a long surgery we retrieved the bullet" said Grady. "It missed a major artery by centimeters"
"Any complications?" asked Darryl.
"He may have chest pains" said Grady. "Difficulty breathing and some trouble using his right arm, but it's temporary"
"Thank God" said Phoebe. "May I please see him?"
Dr. Grady nodded. "For a short time"
Phoebe nodded.
"He's in the OR" said Dr. Grady. "We'll be moving him shortly"
Phoebe walked into the OR. Cole was lying on the bed and IV running from his arm and hooked up to a heart monitor. Tears came from Phoebe's eyes. She sat by his bed and held his hand. She touched his face and remembered the night they made love and it was real.
"I'll be here" said Phoebe. "I promise I won't leave you"
She kissed his hand and watched him sleep.
Phoebe was allowed back in Cole's room. They moved him to a room a few hours ago. She stayed the night despite the nurse's disapproval. She tended to keep her promise. Cole hadn't woke up yet and Phoebe wanted to get him home and take care of him. Cole started to moan and Phoebe was quickly at his side.
"Cole" said Phoebe softly shaking him.
Cole woke up and locked eyes with Phoebe.
"Phoebe" whispered Cole.
"You're at the hospital" said Phoebe. "You had to go play superman"
Cole looked at her confusedly.
"Never mind" said Phoebe. She kissed him. "How are you?"
"I feel like I was shot" said Cole.
"Luckily it didn't kill you" said Phoebe.
Yeah but the triad will, thought Cole. I have to get out of here.
Phoebe looked at him.
"Cole were you going somewhere?" asked Phoebe.
Cole looked at her guiltily. "Why do you ask?"
"I went to your apartment and the landlord let me in" said Phoebe. "I saw a suitcase packed"
"I need a vacation" said Cole half-truthfully.
Phoebe nodded. "You were not going to tell me?"
"Yes" lied Cole. "Before I left"
"I'm just glad you are okay" said Phoebe. "Since you are progressing you can go home tomorrow and I want to take care of you"
"You don't have to" said Cole. "I'll be fine"
Phoebe shook her head. "I insist"
Cole smiled.
The triad were discussing Cole.
"The traiter" said 1.
"We have to eliminate the situation" said 3.
"I'll call for a bounty hunter" said 2.
"No" said 3.
"What?" cried 1.
"Why send one of our men to get killed or vanquished?" asked 3. "Why not let The Charmed Ones do it for us?"
Next afternoon
Prue slammed the phone down. "She's going to stay with Cole for a few days"
Piper stood there. "She's worried for him"
"Piper I'm telling you this guy cannot be trusted" said Prue.
"Your sister is correct" said 3 stepping out of the shadows. "Cole Turner is Balthazar"
What will happen now? Will Phoebe vanquish Cole or will Prue do it for her? Please REVIeW!
