Part 27 of
Virtual Heartache... Or Is It?
It hadn't been until morning that Cole returned Phoebe to her home. Of course, he stayed with her as she entered the warm house and made her way to the kitchen. he kept his arms around her waist the entire time, almost afraid that he would loose her. She seemed to be pulling away or he seemed to be loosing her through her actions.
"Cole... Hunny, I love you. But I would like to be able to pour my coffee."
"And you can."
"Not without spilling it on you or me." She smiled even though she was annoyed with me. "I promise that you can put them around me again later."
"Swear?"
"If I don't let you, you can do whatever you want to me..."
"Hmmm... Maybe I don't want my arms around you."
"Ew. Don't get gross.", Piper interupted. "So how was your guys night?"
"Great.. Ugh, Piper. Maybe I should tell you what the drink is." She sat down across from her sister, prepared to share her secret recipe for energy. "It's water mixed with sugar pills and lemon juice. It's my favorite drink..."
"What!?! Why didn't you tell me that?"
"Because it was my secret recipe... For no one to know. My thing. You're a chef. You don't tell people your recipe. Wait, isn't that magicians? Never telling their secret?"
Cole shook his head and began laughing.
"What?"
"Even after you became a witch you still believe in magicians?"
"No! I hate them... But it's their rule, too, isn't it? See..." She stuck her toung out at him. "So, you see... No need to worry about me. I'm perfectly fine and in no way am I about to harm myself in anyway shape or form. I pinky swear promise!"
"So, um.. Does that meant that you will tell us what happened down there?"
"Nothing much... They didn't hurt me. They never touched me. I did all that to myself. I wanted it all to stop and so.. I tried to make it stop. But it didn't work, because they wouldn't let me. But... I promise. I will never ever do that again."
"How could we know that?", a new voice sounded. "You tried it once and you love a demon. Maybe you will learn something from him."
"Prue!"
"What?" Phoebe, face the facts. You are so unpredictable. How could you know that you wouldn't do it again?"
"Becuase I'm afraid to die!! Ok, I don't want to die. I don't know what will happen to me if I die. What happens to you guys after? It's my worst fear... And I don't want it to happen." She stood up, leaving Cole's protective arms, and left the room...
~*~*~*~
"You ok?", Cole asked.
She avoided his eyes. "Fine."
"She didn't mean any harm..."
"Cole. Don't try and protect her. I know that she is doing this because she loves me. I just wish that she would trust me. I've matured since I got here. I've gotten better. I wish that it showed..."
He took her face in his hands, making her see him. "It does show. Prue raised you. She has a hard time accepting the way that it is now. She's like a mother- not wanting to see the reality. She wants to think that you still need her. And it will always be that way." He kissed her forehead gently.
"I hate when you do that..."
"Why?'
"Because you always win when you do that."
"And that is why I do it!"
They collapsed into each other's arms from laughter after a small kiss. Phoebe knew then that everything would be ok...
~*~*~*~
Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!
Prue snatched the phone because it was obvious that who ever was calling her wasn't going to hang up. "Hello?"
"Ugh, hi, Prue... Nice to talk to you, too!"
"Phoebe?! Why are you calling me at work? Something wrong?"
"No, everything is fine... I just wanted to talk to you."
"About what?"
"I actually wanted to thank you."
"For what? Seeing what he really is?"
"No. For raising me. And always being there for me. I don't think I ever said that I do need you in my life. I never told you how much I appreciated you always being around and always looking out for me." She paused for a breif moment, hoping for something- a your welcome, a thank you, a breif recognition of what she said, something. "So, that's it. I'm gonna go now."
"Phoebe!", Prue said quickly, trying to stop her sister from hanging up.
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For recognizing me. For teaching me how to live. Just for everything that you have given me."
"Neither of us could live without each other. And we needed Cole to help us realize that."
Prue almost smiled at the idea: someone she absolutly hated saving her relationship with her sister. He defianitly earned brownie points for that.
"I gotta go, Pheebs. I'll talk to you later."
"So everything is kewl between us?"
"Of course."
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
The phone went dead before Prue clicked off her cell phone. She smiled for the first time since she found out that Cole was really Belthazor. And she hoped that her smiles would be showing up more often in the future with everything resoved....
The End
Ok, I know that this is kind of an abrupt end, but everything was fixed. If you guys want more (meaning a sequal) then just email me or review me and I will start working on it asap! But otherwise.. I think that it was a perfect ending.
I have to say thanks to all the people who reviewed this story. Thanks to anyone who even bothered reading this story. Thanks to ColeandPhoebeTurner for talking with me about my ideas, giving me some inspiration. Thanks to my sister Paige. And to Prue1329 just for being there for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And last and certainly not least: Thanks to Sonja. She helped me with everything, let me run the chapters through her first. She was just totally awesome to me through the entire thing and has truly grown to be my best friend ever. Thank you for simply existing hun!
Look forward to my new Charmed Based series called 'The Blessed Three', and a few co-written fanfics with my friends. I promise that you will hear from me really soon!
