"I don't love you anymore. I'm sorry." And after she had said these words, Cole shimmered out and Phoebe broke down crying.
When Piper and Leo got home, Phoebe had left, but Cole was there.
"Hey Cole, what are you doing with those boxes? You finally decided to move in?" Piper asked jokingly, because Cole had more stuff lying around then anybody else, but he always had more somewhere else.
She was going to continue joking, but before she could say anything else, Leo had pushed her in the ribs and shook his head. Piper was going to ask him why he did that, until she noticed Leo's worried expression and then she finally saw the look on Cole's face and her smile disappeared.
"Cole, what happened?" She asked, now worried.
"Phoebe broke up with me, so I'm packing. You know, moving out."
Piper and Leo were both shocked, esp. Piper who didn't notice the change in Phoebe.
"Oh God, Cole, I'm so sorry." Piper quickly gave Cole a hug. "Why did she break up?" She asked concerned.
"Well, she said that she doesn't love me anymore. She said that there is somebody else." Piper could hear the tremble in Cole's voice and was going to tell him how truly sorry she was, but then Phoebe walked in.
"Hey." Phoebe tried to look at Cole, but she couldn't. She was to afraid of the pain in his eyes, when she couldn't even deal with her own pain.
All four of them were now standing in the hall, looking at each other. Cole was the first one to break the silence.
"Well, I guess I'll be going." He said and after hugging Piper one more time and shaking hands with Leo, he picked up his boxes and shimmered out.
"Phoebe, we should talk." Piper said, once Cole left.
"There is nothing to talk about." Phoebe replied and went upstairs to her room, with Piper and Leo behind her.
"What do you mean, there is nothing to talk about? I think there is a lot to talk about."
"Ya," Leo started now as well, "you just dumped my best friend. The guy you have been with for almost two years. I think we deserve to know why."
"Didn't Cole tell you?" Phoebe asked annoyed. All she wanted to do was to stay in her room, alone, and cry. It had been so hard to see Cole and not being able to go to him, to hold him.
"If he had told us, we wouldn't need to ask you. All he said was that you said that you didn't love him anymore and that you met somebody else." Piper said impatiently.
This was taken way to long for Phoebe and she gave in.
"Fine. I've met this guy a couple of weeks ago. He's different. I was attracted to him and because of him I realized that I don't really love Cole anymore. That's it."
Piper and Leo were shocked. Phoebe sounded so cold, like she didn't really care.
"Are you sure?" Piper asked.
"Of course I'm sure."
"Well, who is this guy?" Leo asked and Phoebe made a slight frown. She had to put Jon in a nice light, and make it sound like she actually liked him.
"Well, his name is Jon. He's a. well, he is good looking and nice. I met him at a. at the park, cause he was there and I was there. He is working for his family's business. I don't know what that is, but he is pretty rich."
Piper and Leo looked confused at Phoebe, while she kept mumbling about Prince Charming or something. They didn't really now what to think and decided that it would be best to leave Phoebe. They had to find Paige and tell her the bad news, after all Paige had grown rather found of Cole and saw in him the big brother she never had.
The second Piper and Leo left, Jon appeared.
"Very good, very good. I knew I could count on you. A businessman, hm? That's nice. So, when will you introduce me to them?"
"Never." Phoebe spat.
"Oh, all right, I guess that can wait, but I came because I got something for you. Two things, actually." Jon took a little bottle filled with red potion out of his pocket and handed it to Phoebe. For a minute she thought it might be blood and she turned pale.
Jon started laughing. "Don't worry, it's nothing bad. Drink it."
What choice did Phoebe have but to do as he said? Slowly she put the bottle to her lips and drank it.
"Well, feel something?" Jon asked and Phoebe shook her head. "Okay, think of a place and imagine you want to go there. Any place."
Phoebe thought of Cole's place and next thing she knew, she found herself in Cole's living room. Luckily Cole was asleep on the couch. Phoebe bent down next to him and touched him gently on the cheek and then went back to her place. Jon was waiting there for her, with a big smile.
"And now my dear, you can shimmer. I'm very proud of you. After all, if you want to be with me, your powers really aren't good enough. But know you got a demon's power. Use it well."
Phoebe's only thought was to use it to get away from Jon, but of course she didn't say that.
"Okay, now that we got this settled, I have one more thing for you." Before Phoebe could say anything, Jon slipped a ring on her ring finger.
"Wow, wait a second. If this is what I think it is then you are out of your mind. No way." Phoebe almost yelled these words, but remembered that Piper and Paige were home.
"Relax, Phoebe, it's not that bad. Think about it this way, you'll be a princess." Jon said and smiled. Phoebe swallowed hard and looked at the ring. She had to get out of this mess somehow, she just didn't know how.
