It's All Over Now

It's All Over Now

Phoebe rolled over in her bed; she looked at the clock, 4.00am it read. She cursed under her breath, 3 months since the dam source released hell on them almost killing those 6 months in total since she had met Cole and this whole ordeal began. She had just been having reoccurring g nightmares about the whole experience. Prue had been threading over whether or not Cole would be taking his fathers place, they never got a chance to even address him on the situation he just shimmered away without warning. For some reason she wasn't to worried about the new source something about the way he decided on his mom convinced her that he wasn't about to take that route. Also no major demons had been to the manor in a while which was a good sign. She actually tried to date some guys but she found herself comparing them to him. Piper was very into what she was doing and with who and for some reason that she knew very well she kept dropping sly comments in certain conversations. She blinked, where did he go, could he still be in the underworld. She hated him for what he done but she loved him for the way he made her feel what he had given her as a person intimacy, a real relationship, love, care she could go on. She sighed maybe it wasn't meant to be like everything else in her life. Prue could find Andy who loved her to death literally, Piper could find Leo who worshipped the ground she walked on and she could find a demon who's wanted her dead ever since he was born. Life was great wasn't it? Another milestone in her love life she smirked at this. She was either really unlucky or just naïve to have fallen for such a person. Maybe if she was highly suspicious and cynical of every man she didn't know like her sister then she wouldn't , she dismissed the thought ,Prue was too serious , she had become so absorbed by magic and their fight for good she forgotten her life. Whilst thinking deeply about her life Cole's denial prompted her to think. 1. He never killed her like he was supposed to not even when she gave him the opportunity 2. He gave up his mom and lastly he saved their lives.

Phoebe suddenly felt something prompt her, Cole couldn't fight his feelings especially if she wasn't about to give him a chance to. Why she should she have to compromise just because he couldn't handle it, he would learn, that wasn't a problem. She sat up in her bed. Prue would bust a gut the elders would die, magic may object but she didn't care not anymore they did the hard part they owed her.

"Morning" Phoebe exclaimed at her sisters who looked at her weird, Prue looked at piper who shrugged.
"Anything in particular got you in a good mood" Piper then asked her buzzing sister, she nodded no and went about making some toast. Prue continued to read her photo documents over then her cell rang. Phoebe looked over at her older sister thinking something through.
"Im gonna be out all day so…don't wait up" she informed them

"Where are you going" Piper asked

"More like who are you going with" Prue added, Phoebe rolled her eyes

"Im not 13 you don't have to monitor my every move just know ill be out today"
"What if a demon attacks" a mischievous grin crossed her face

"Only if he attacks in the way I want him to" she said under her breath
"Huh" Piper asked

"Nothing, you lot can handle it, it's not like any one serious has been around" she explained then sitting down at the table opposite her older sister. Prue gave her a quizzical look
"What are you up to" she asked her baby sister knowing full well that she was way too bubbly in the morning which was not what phoebe was like in the morning.

"Stop being so suspicious your worse than police" she replied , Prue raised and eye brow
"Yeah well you would be the one to know about police suspicion" referring to her baby sisters wild child history. Phoebe made a face and turned her attention to Piper, who was busy making coffee.
"I'm a big girl I can look after myself thank you" Phoebe told Prue who laughed, this annoyed her but she wasn't about to let it ruin her daily plan. They had small talk and all went there separate ways.

Piper was walking past, she understood that her sister was still getting over Cole but Phoebes way of dealing with pain was one that just worried her, and she could excessively date & party get herself into all sorts of trouble but she had seen a change in her when dating Cole. Too bad he was a devil child. She walked past her room and looked in; Phoebe was checking her outfit over in the mirror looking pleased with herself, wearing a chiffon baby blue mini skirt, black pumps, hair was down and curly just then she turned and saw her sister in her doorway she smiled.

"How do I look" she asked still playing around with her make up in the mirror.

"Let's just say I feel sorry for the guy who's got to deal with you"

"What's the occasion" piper quickly added, Phoebe was still looking in the mirror applying her make up

"Hmm lets just say im collecting a debt owed to me" she answered piper looked at her baby sister with a concerned expression

"Phoebe" she started

"Don't worry no big guys with tattoos and bad breath" she smiled knowing her sister was becoming increasingly confused. Piper shook her head and turned to walk off

"Remember don't wait up" she called out to her.

Cole shimmered into the penthouse, his head was hurting he rubbed his temple and walked through to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror, seeing only belthazor stone face look staring back at him. He half smiled

"Don't look at me like that" he told the beast who expression didn't change. Cole removed his clothing and had a shower. He could easily take his fathers place however the new candidates for the source have sent a mass of really annoying bounty hunters to find the last link in the sources blood line to ensure there spot. The water trickled over him, a price on his head just great. If he went back to his old ways then his train of thought was put to a halt when he sensed a magical presence. He stepped out of the shower quickly putting on some boxers and jeans; he was in no mood for demons right now. A low growl erupted from him as belthazor became eager for a kill. Cole silenced the beast, making a fire ball in his left hand he walked out to the front room scanning for anything out of place. He let out a frustrated groan then threw several fire ball in various directions

"Nice to see you 2" He stopped the fireballs from colliding with any walls and turned just to make sure his mind wasn't playing nasty tricks on him. He turned to face her; she looked him up and down and then just stared at him looking slightly annoyed. Confusion hit him hard, he looked at her and she diverted her eyes to the ring of fireballs at a standstill. His head was banging out of control now he reduced them until they were gone.

"What do you want" he asked her coldly, she looked hurt but he discarded it, he got over that relapse of character. She opened her mouth to say something then stopped

"Look don't talk to me like that I never did anything to you" she replied angrily,

"Of course just destroying my family" he replied in a mono tone, she glared at him
"What do you want" he pressed.

"I just" she stopped and looked at him,

"What" he asked impatiently.
"I just wanted to see if you were still here" she lied; he knew she lied by the way she just looked straight through him to say it.
"Why you and your sisters decided you want to vanquish me now, a summoning spell wouldn't of done the job proply right" he said nastily he knew it was harsh but he couldn't have this not in his life ever. Belthazor agreed.

"What did I do" she then asked innocently, he wiped his face, did she have to be so

"Cole" that sounded weird, he looked at her letting her know she had his full attention. He then looked at her for the first time. She looked amazing, almost too perfect for him to be fooled by it she wanted something. Whether or not he could give it to her was another problem he didn't want to face.

"Sisters know you're here" he threw

"They don't run my life you know"
"So no"

"Does it matter"
"Why are you here for the last time"

"Your not happy to see me" she half smiled at him, he rubbed his chin hair and raised an eyebrow at her comment.

"So yes" she replied, he looked at her in disbelief this is what she done and god knows what happened to his emotional balance last time. Waking up in the underworld with his dad about to kill them didn't really have him wanting to revisit this scene again.
"Phoebe don't play with me ok just tell me what you want so you can leave" he sounded slightly defeated but he just wanted her to go away. He couldn't wash her from his heart or soul but he had managed to just block the feelings out now she was here just messing him up again. She looked at him and then her face dropped and she looked sad.

"I…I missed you" she finally said, he should of laughed but even he couldn't bring him self that low. He stared at her brown eyes searched his like they had done before.
"Do you want to vanquish" he was cut off

"I DON'T WANT TO VANQUISH YOUR SMARTASS SO JUST DROP IT OK, IM NOT HERE ABOUT MAGIC OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT SO JUST LEAVE IT" she looked at him angrily, he was slightly caught off guard by her outburst. His headache grew and he walked to the kitchen and ran the tap, she watched him as he poured himself a glass of water and drank some before resuming their confrontation.
"So wot would you like me to say" he asked her, she looked at him in disbelief
"I missed you to forgive me for everything" he teased horribly, she looked at him in disgust then she turned to leave.

"Wait" it escaped his lips before his mind agreed with it, he looked at her back but at least she had stopped she looked back at him.
"Im not here to hurt you Cole, I just wanted to talk, but you obviously don't care but I don't even know what I expected".

Phoebe was starting to regret her decision, in her ideal situation Cole would declared his love for her and would of done anything to get her to forgive him but he was just standing there as if she was a ghost from a bad dream. It hurt she was positive that he felt the same, why he was keeping it so concealed she didn't understand his dad was gone , she looked at him looking for anything but he was keeping himself at a distance, physically, mentally and emotionally.
"There's nothing to talk about everything's been done" he explained

"How about your feelings, you saved our lives, you mother, and you went into some coma after we had a fight"

"How did you know that" he shot

"I was, your mom took me" she told him, he drank some more of his water.
"Why"
"Magic was at a standstill, she said you was ill"
"Why would you care if I was ill or dying even" Cole was annoying her so much she didn't know if it was demonic nature or what but what wasn't he getting. He better not make her spell it out for him.
"Did you miss what I said before or something" she asked him, he was searching through cabinets so rude she thought

"COLE LISTEN TOO ME STOP LOOKING THROUGH STUPID CABINANTS THIS IS IMPORTANT" he turned looking at her like she was crazy

"Why are you screaming damn what's got into you"
"YOU , YOU COLD BLOODED, BEAST, DEMON , DEVIL , EVIL ,DANGEROUS, SWEET, CARING, CUTE waste of my heart that I cant get over" she just blurted it all out it didn't even make sense. He blinked then he crossed the room and stood right in front of her looking at her,

"Do you know what you're saying" he asked her seriously, she nodded at him and then wrapped her arms around his neck, his body stiffened and she looked up at him.

"Would I be here otherwise" she asked him, her fingers played with the little curls at the back of his head, he let out a deep sigh, and she wasn't sure what he was thinking.
"Say something" she rested her head against his muscular chest.

"It won't work"

"Why, your not really trying to kill me are you" she then asked knowing that he wasn't but any reason he was about to give wasn't valid in her eyes

"No you're a witch"
"So I thought that was what turned you on danger right. That's why were here like this now" she mused with a secret smile on her face. She actually heard him laugh, she smiled he was warming up to her again.

"You thought about it" he asked another question, she shook her head looking up and catching his bottom lip in between her teeth, he jerked
"Ow" he said, she released then took his whole mouth in one motion, she smiled when he kissed her back she pulled away
"Happy to see me now" she asked him, he looked at her in disbelief.

Are you out of your mind his alter ego asked, he was looking at a woman who had changed his state of mind. He considered his options, if he had never thought about this situation he would have been lying but he was good at that. His head was about to burst with all the thoughts and emotions battling against each other. "It's over now" his mother had told him that when he embraced the power of evil completely, he could hear her saying it now. He closed his eyes embracing the power of love was an experience he had not trained for. It took 22 years of life threatening tasks, murders, plots and building to make him the demon he was the protégé he was born to be but it only took 1 night to discard all of it. He touched her face running his finger down.

"Do you forgive me" he then asked her, she smiled happily
"You have a lot of making up to do" he raised an eyebrow,

"I love you" she stated before kissing him not even waiting for him to reply. He thought differently. Why wouldn't she want him to say it back, she wasn't settling with them being separate but with him not saying it back.
"Don't you want me to say it" he looked at her straight and then she smirked

"Every woman does but I don't think you can handle the words right now" she explained.
"Handle it" he repeated
"Well can you" she completely dismissed it. He smiled and stepped back from her, his head was still hurting and he needed some aspirin.
"I need to get some painkillers" he let go of her; she smiled proudly knowing that her explanation was correct. He found some and downed it with the water he had poured, she watched him closely.

"Would you like to know something?"

"What is it"
"I love you 2" He held the glass up to her as if he was toasting. She shook her head at him but a beautiful smiled robbed her face.

Cole lay awake next to her, how did he get himself here he smiled to himself. His dad was probably screaming down the walls of hell. He closed his eyes and felt some tiny hands walk up his face he opened his eyes again and looked at Phoebe.

"Are you ok" she asked him, he nodded
"What you gonna tell your sisters"

"I don't know yet, I was thinking about it"

"You planned this whole thing"

"Kinda" She smiled shyly

"Did you have a plan b in case it failed?" Her lips brushed his neck up to his ear
"Nope" she told him. He turned his head and looked at her. Her phone started to go off. Prue asked her where she was, she had no time to attend to her over protectiveness.

Phoebe was felt so relieved and happy. There was no way she was about to give this up for the greater good. They would just have to understand that she was a woman before a witch and her heart came first. Cole was that and whether or not she was making the right choice was still to be tested but for the moment she was happy.
