Part 22 of
Virtual Heartache... Or Is It?
"You were fighting about what?", Prue asked as she slammed into Phoebe's room without knocking. "I can't believe you told him about our plan- I can't believe you backstabbed us! I can't believe... Wait, you're ok. Why are you ok?"
"What are you talking about?", Phoebe demanded. "Cole and I love each other- he would never hurt me."
Prue nearly fainted from the shock that she got. "Wait, so he never ever laid a single hand on you."
"Well, to stop me from running he had to. But that's it. He only tries to comfort me when he holds me. He only wants what's best for me. Because he loves me. And I love him."
"And that's enough to convince you that he won't hurt you?", Prue asked.
"Yes. And because your stupid doubts were in my head, he and I had a fight and now he doesn't care about me anymore. I was horriable to him. There is no way that he loves me anymore. And it's partially your fault!"
"My fault? Are you crazy? I didn't do anything!", Prue shouted.
"You told me that I had to kill him. You told me that this was wrong. I already knew all that, but I still wanted to see him! And now that you know I can't even bare to think of what you think of me. You probably think that I am a total failure and... Ugh! Just.. Let me be alone."
Prue left the room after a moment of silence. Phoebe sat on her bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. And for the first time ever, after fighting with her sister, she wasn't thinking of it. All she was thinking was how much she wished she hadn't left Cole in the parking lot of the resturaunt. She wanted to know that he still loved her. And after thinking for quite some time, she realized that he had to love her. He did follow her until someone stopped him. She smiled at that thought.
She picked up the phone and dialed his home phone number, prarying that he had gone home. After about four or five rings, the answering machine picked up.
"Hi. This is Cole Turner and I'm not home right now. Leave a message and I'll get back to you, if you're lucky." Beep!
"Hi, Cole. This is Phoebe. I was just calling to-"
"Hello."
"Cole-hi! Um... I just wanted to say sorry. I over-reacted. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just, I've never been in a serious relationship and it surprised me how much you and your opinon meant to me, after all. I really, really like you, Cole. A Lot. In fact I love you. And I was hoping that you still loved me.", she ended her babble.
After he quickly laughed at her, he said, "Are you always this cute?"
"Only when I'm not trying to be.", she answered seriously. "Do you still love me?"
"Nothing and no one can ever change that. That is the only thing that I know in this crazy world we live in."
"Will you come over?"
"Do you want me to?"
"Yeah."
"Will your sisters kill me?"
"Probably..."
"Then I better avoid them."
"How?"
"Like this." Before Phoebe could ask something else, Cole appeared before her eyes. "I left the phone at home so you might want to hang up."
"Ugh... Wow."
"Ugh wow? That's all you have to say?"
"How about I say something like, 'You're gonna get me killed!'?"
"Sisters still not fond of me?"
"You betcha! They know that you know that I know. I couldn't lie to them, Cole. I'm sorry."
Cole stared at her in shock. "Oy."
"Are you, ah, are you sure that they won't come after me now that they know that I know that you know? Won't they have a crazy idea that I am going to attack you now that I know you are a Charmed One?"
"Well, if they're gonna kill you then they're gonna have to kill me, too!", Phoebe said. "But, anyway... Why don't we go talk to them. See if we can get them to not kill you. Because if I ever leave you, it's not going to be without a fight. They can't control me more then the Elders or the Triad." (Cole hasn't killed them yet, remember? Wait.... When we do AU's, don't we need to include that? Hmmm... More chapters to come! Hehe)
"Let's go..." He grabbed her hand hesitantly, and showed her through the doors.
Virtual Heartache... Or Is It?
