Part 26 of
Virtual Heartache... Or Is It?
He found her sitting in *her* room. Not her own room, but Phoebe's room. He was shocked to see the sister sitting cross-legged in the middle of the youngest sister's bed. He couldn't help but smile at the scene, althought it quickly faded when he saw that she was scared. He made his way over to her and joined her on the bed.
"What are you doing? What's the matter?"
She looked up at him through her hair. "I found this in here."
"Water? I don't get it..."
"It has two white tablets in it. The last time she had this, it was drugs. God, Cole. What could she be doing to herself now? What happened that was so bad?"
Cole took the bottle from her hands. "What?"
"Yeah. Drugs."
"No that can't be. It doesn't make sense."
"What do you mean? Of course it makes sense. Phoebe is Phoebe. She does whatever the hell she pleases."
"But nothing happened down there. She wouldn't have anything to do this over. Why... But she promised.. And..."
Their conversation was interupted by a slight voice. "Hey Cole!' She kissed him on the cheek as she wraped her arms around him from behind. "Piper! What are you guys doing?"
Piper holds up the bottle of water with the drugs in it. "This."
Phoebe laughs and pulls the bottle away from her sister. "Thanks... But no need to worry. Because it's not what you think it is."
"Then what is it?", Piper asked concerned. "The last time you did this was with drugs. What else could they be."
"They could be medicine.", Phoebe answered cooly.
Piper froze up. "What? Are you sick?"
"It's nothing. Just trust me on this one." Phoebe took a sip of the water and looked at her and said, "See? I'm fine. Want some?"
"Not until I know what it is."
"It's a drink."
"No duh."
"Look, that's all I can tell you. So... yeah. I'm going for a walk."
"Oh no, you don't. Not by yourself.", Cole interupted.
"Then come with me." Phoebe smiled at him and kissed his cheek again.
"Hmm.. Sounds like a good idea to me." The two raced out of the room and out the door.

"They're not drugs."
Cole stared at her. Fifteen minutes of not talking, of staying silent, and this was the conversation that he was supposdly waiting for. But he hated the topic.
"Well, you certainly know how to start a coversation."
"Cole, I'm trying to tell you that Piper is over-reacting. They aren't drugs, and I'm not sick. I am perfectly healthy. Believe me when I say that I never want to go back to that part of my life."
"What part of your life...?"
"Well, you remember all the bad things that I did. Drugs use to be one of them. I use to mix them in with my water that way they wouldn't work the entire way, or something like that... But I stopped and I am not a immature brat anymore. And I don't do drugs anymore. If anything, I would think that Prue does them... Not really, but... Yeah."
"So then what are they?"
"It's a drink that I started making a couple years ago to give me energy. It's sugar pills and lime juice. That's it."
"So why didn't you tell that to Piper?", Cole asked laughing.
"Because... She would worry if she thought that I needed a drink to give me energy. It's kinda, like, my alchol. 'Cause I don't drink that, either."
"Oh... So, ugh, your horrible past. Something that you want to avoid?"
"For now... Maybe when we have nothing else to do. But right now, I wanna be with you with no worries or anything else..." She grabbed his hand and turned to face him. She brought her lips up to his, softly at first. Soon, her kiss hardened and even when she pulled away she could still feel the heat from his lips. He pulled away farther then she wanted, and began running to a quiet part of the park: a secluded area.
"Ugh-uh. Not here. Never!"
He tilted his head to the side and said, "Who said anything about here?" With that, he snaked his arm around her waist and allowed him and her to become one; disappearing and reappearing in his apartment. He laid her on the bed and began kissing her. The last thing that she remembered thinking before they made love was, "Life's a bitch. But he makes it all better..."
