Virtual Heartache... Or Is It?
"So you like this guy?", Prue asked. "Is he worthy?"
"Is anyone?" Phoebe laughed with her sister. "Yeah... He's great. We just can't stay together."
"Why?", Prue asked, concerned. She agrees to accept him into their lives and Phoebe decides to dump him. "What's wrong?"
"That's the thing that I need to talk to Leo about. It's nothing personal, I just need guidance right now. But believe me, as soon as I can, I'll tell you.", Phoebe added. "Where are we?"
"Umm... Just south of North street?", Prue asked. "I'm lost..."
"How can we be lost? We live here! We've lived here all our lives! Well, most of them, anyway... The question still stands, where are we?"
"Near my apartment.", a voice from behind said. Phoebe turned around to see the guy that she had been trying to avoid. "Well, close enough for me to park and walk the rest of the way, anyway."
"Cole... Hi. What are you doing here? Stupid question, why aren't you at work? Shouldn't that be considered more important then talking to me?"
"You know, I'm trying to think as to why you don't want me in your life. But I keep coming up short of an answer. You want to elaborate?"
"Prue... Why don't you call Piper to come and get you. I think that Cole and I should talk.. like he says. Cole? Can we come up so she can use your phone?"
"Sure... Just as long you and I do get to talk."
"Ok..."
~*~*~*~
It had been about twenty-five minutes since Prue had left, and Phoebe still hadn't said anything. She was nervous that she would tell Cole about knowing and that he might try and kill her. She was afraid to loose Cole because of this. And she didn't want to loose Cole. If she was completely honest with herself, she didn't want to be anywhere but Cole's arms. It was warm and safe and... Dare she say heaven?
"So?"
"So... What?"
"Why are you avoiding me? Why are you lying to me? What is wrong? Before yesterday, you wanted to be in this relationship as much as I did. I know you did. And now it's like you can't even think of something like that. Like it's barbaric."
"That's because I know...."
"You know what?"
"That... That.... Maybe it was a mistake for letting us become friends. Lovers... Whatever. Right now is a mistake. This very moment is a mistake. I shouldn't be here with you."
"And I shouldn't want to be here with anyone, but yet I can't stop thinking about you. I want to spend every moment I have with you ever since we met. It's strange and I love it... I can't imagine being with anyone else. I can't imagine being with anyone."
"Cole... If you only knew what I know. But I can't tell you, because something very bad would happen and I can't let it happen... It's a long story, but anyway... Please, just tell me- promise me- that you will stay away from me. It's better for the both of us. It's safer that way.."
"I don't want to live safely. I say we live on the edge- on the brink of danger. Let whatever will happen happen. I'm willing to risk it."
"Yeah, but I'm not. So... goodbye." Phoebe walked over to him, kissed him on the lips for the last time, and looked him in the eye as she placed her hand on his cheek. "I love you, Cole. And I don't want to loose you. But this is the way it has to be." She dropped her hand and felt his eyes on her as she left the apartment.

"Phoebe... We need to talk.", Leo said as Phoebe entered the Halliwell Manor.
Phoebe started taking off her coat and hat. "About what, Leo?"
"About Cole.... I know."
Phoebe's heart skipped a beat. She sincerely hoped that he was going to surprise her with something that she didn't know. Something that was perfectly normal for an every day person. "Know what, Leo?"
"That Cole is Belthazor...."
