Part 13 of
Virtual Heartache... Or Is It?
She woke up the next morning, memories of the night before hitting her head and making her life miserable. She had been close to telling him that she wasn't going to see him anymore, but remembered that he wouldn't remember it and therefore causing pain to the one she loved most....
Loved? Did she just suggest that she loved him? I mean, she knew that she like him.... alot. But love? Was it possible for a witch to love a demon? No. But it was possible for a human to love another human. And after all, they were both part human. But even so, maybe, just maybe, demon and a witch could fall in love. It wasn't unheard, after all... Wait, it was unheard of. So she can't be with him, right? It should be simple... So why was it so hard?
She heard the phone ringing, pulling her out of her thoughts. Now either it was someone calling for Prue, like her boss, or it was Cole. And she didn't want to talk to him, not yet.
"Pheebs! Phone! It's Cole..." The sound of Prue's voice made her cringe. She dragged herself out of bed and greeted Prue at the door who was holding the cordless out for her, obviously annoyed. "Make sure your boyfriend doesn't call around here so early anymore, ok?" She passed the phone over, rolling her eyes as she left. Phoebe dreadfully put the phone to her ear.
Cole smiled goofily, happy to talk to her.
"Hello?", Phoebe whispered into the phone.
"Hey... Did I wake you? I'm sorry..."
"No, it's just that I'm not feeling well... I was kinda hoping that yesterday would be a dream. A big, bad dream."
"Something happen after I dropped you off yesterday?"
"Yeah, you could say that. Why are you calling?"
"Because I wanted to talk to you. What? Didn't think that I was actually going to stick around after we had sex? I really hope that you don't think that I am like that."
"Relax. I don't think that you are like that, ok? I just.... I guess you don't remember. So then it worked. I'm still safe."
"What worked? And you are always safe with me."
Phoebe's heart stopped. She hoped that he meant what he said, otherwise she would have to stop seeing him. What was she thinking? She couldn't see him anyway. Stop having those thoughts.
Not knowing what else to say, she lightly whispered, "Thank you."
"I gotta go... I'll call you later. And hopefully you will be able to tell me what is wrong with you then. Because frankly, I really don't like being treated this way and I certainly don't like it coming from you!"
"Fell any better?", Phoebe asked, a little worried.
"Yeah, a little..... Sorry. I love you. Bye."
The phone went dead before Phoebe could say anything. She muttered to herself, "I wish I could say the same...."
~*~*~*~
"Hey, Pheebs.", Piper called as Phoebe made an entrance into the kitchen. She could tell that she wasn't feeling well or that something wasn't right in Phoebeville. She hadn't been in the pantry yet, but she made a mental note to check for a lack of cookies. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing... I just had the worst night of my life."
"Didn't sleep?", Piper asked, now concerned.
"No. I slept perfectly fine. That's the problem."
"Maybe you could say 1, 2, 3 instead of 2, 1, 3. Walk me through it."
"I dreamnt of Cole.. You know, maybe I should talk to Leo about this."
"Good luck trying to get a hold of him. 'They' called him out very early this morning. He woke me up orbing out this morning."
"Ooh... 'They' aren't very high on your list right now, are they?"
"No. In fact, I think that 'They' are the lowest on my list. Right next to instant coffee and demons-slash-warlocks. So you sure that you can't talk about it with me?"
"Sorry... You really don't want to hear about this. I'm gonna go for a walk."
"It's thirty-five degrees!", Piper argued.
"So I'll wear a hat." Phoebe left the room, knowing that Piper would continue protesting and somehow get her to confess everything. She saw Prue walking down the stairs just as she reached the door. She stopped long enough to say good morning to her that way she wouldn't get suspicous.
"Hey, sunshine!", Prue greeted. "Going for a walk? Something the matter?"
"Ugh, yeah... But I kinda need to talk to Leo about it, if you don't mind."
"Actually, I just wanted to know if I could come, too. Or if you were going out specifically to get away from us."
Phoebe smiled. Sure she and Prue had gone plenty of places together. But she only went on her walks or runs by herself. Sometimes Piper came along, but never Prue. She was always was too busy for it. She gladly accepted and told her to go tell Piper that she was joining her and then said that she would wait for her outside. Just as she opened the door, someone started ringing the doorbell.
"Oh, god... Cole, hi. What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you. I just wanted to make sure that you were ok because you said that you weren't feeling well. Yet here you are and it looks like you were heading out for something."
"Hey, Pheebs!", a voice called from the distance. "You ready to go or..." Prue trailed off as she found Cole at the doorway. "Or maybe you just want to talk to Cole?"
"No. You and I never go out walking. Cole? Can I take a rain check?"
"So were you lying to me? Or did you just get better in, like, a half hour?"
"I wasn't lying to you, Cole.... I just wasn't giving you the whole story. I didn't want you to hear that I was a little nervous to talk to you. Maybe admit to myself that I didn't want to loose you. Or that-"
"Why would you loose me?", he interupted.
"I think that I am gonna go and see if Piper wants to go to the mall or P3 or something...", Prue offered. She could clearly see that whatever they were talking about was none of here buisness and that she should leave.
Cole said "Thank you" as Phoebe said "Don't be rediculas."
Cole and Phoebe sent each other, "I can't believe you." looks.
"Ok. We need to talk, Phoebe."
"But not now. Come on, Prue." Phoebe pushed pass Cole, dragging Prue behind her. Cole saw some guy walking down the stairs and knew that he should leave, but he couldn't help but think that maybe he had something to do with Phoebe's new behavior... But then, didn't she say that some guy named Leo stayed there, too? Yeah and he was dating Piper.
"Hey, I'm Leo... I heard the whole thing. You just need to understand that Phoebe gets this way whenever anything gets this serious. And you know, you should just give her time. We think she really likes you."
"I'm sorry, but who are you to be telling me how to treat her?", he asked rather rudely.
"A guy that has known Phoebe for almost three years and thinks of her as a sister. She and Piper and Prue are my family. And if you hurt her, you'll have more then one enemy in this world. So watch it."
Cole left, knowing that he had probably stepped over the line. Leo heard Piper enter the room and she started speaking.
"There you are! Phoebe was looking for you. She need to talk to you about something.... What's wrong?"
"I think that she and I need to talk. I hope she gets home soon..."
