1 Chapter 5

Slowly Leo and Paige came downstairs.

"Cole, I'm so sorry, but I gotta take Phoebe. The Elders want her body." Cole just go up and let Leo take his Love away from him, while Piper took Cole's hand. After Leo orbed out with the body, Paige broke down crying, but Piper tried to keep it together.

"Cole, please stay with us. Phoebe would have wanted it and I want it. Looking at you reminds me of her. Part of her is in you and I won't let you go and take that away from me as well. Please Cole." Cole just nodded and Piper took Paige to her room.

"Cole, you can stay in Phoebe's room. It's your room too, you know. It always has been..." and Piper closed the door behind her and Paige and Cole went to Phoebe's room.

Just by walking inside, it hit him. Her smell, her stuff, everything. This room was Phoebe, that's why Piper wanted him here. Slowly Cole picked up one of Phoebe's sweaters and lied down on the bed. He inhaled her smell and looked around. Her room looked exactly like the last time he was in here, before him and Phoebe broke up. The only thing missing were the pictures of him and her together.

Cole got under the covers and felt something underneath the pillow. It was a picture frame with a picture of him in it. Cole smiled. She had never stopped loving him, of course not. He spell didn't work because he was her true love. Cole closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"Please Cole, help me. I need you." Cole woke up shivering. It was awfully cold, even under the covers.

He had dreamed of Phoebe. It seemed so real. It was almost like she had come in his dreams, to ask him for help. Cole shook his head and got up. There was no way he could go back to sleep now. His Phoebe was gone and he had to learn to live with that.

Cole went upstairs to the attic, the place Phoebe used to go to, when she couldn't sleep. Everything here had always looked the same. Over in the corner was the big couch, Phoebe's couch, where she used to sit and read in the BOS. And yes, there by the window was the book.

Cole remembered how Phoebe had always tried to talk him into touching the book, but he refused every time. He still knew what happened the first time he got to close to the book and he didn't need that again.

"But you are good now." He heard Phoebe say. Slowly Cole walked over to the book and placed his fingers on the cover - and nothing happened.

Cole started to call for Phoebe, but then realized that she won't be coming running through that door, sharing his excitement with him. Instead Leo walked in.

"Cole, what's wrong?" Leo asked and then saw Cole holding the BOS. Leo walked over and friendly put his hand on Cole's shoulder.

"Phoebe always believed in you, to the very end she was sure that you were good. I'm glad you finally figured it out, too. We all knew."

Cole, who had started crying, was amazed. Sure, he knew he had gotten closer to Phoebe's Family, but he had no idea that he had gotten that close to them.

"You know, Cole, you are part of this family too and the book knows that." Leo said as if he could read Cole's mind. Then Leo left Cole alone, who sat down on the couch, his couch now, looking through the book. Phoebe had been right, this book was fascinating. "Phoebe, God, Phoebe, I miss you so much."
