1 Chapter1
The past couple of months had been difficult for Phoebe and Cole. While Phoebe thought the best thing that could have happened was to loose Cole's demon half, Cole missed Belthazor and hated the days the sisters went of fighting, leaving him behind. Not only felt Cole helpless, he was helpless. Even Leo had ways to protect him and the girls; Cole was just in the way.
Today was no different.
"Come on Pheebs, we need to go. This demon won't wait forever." Piper yelled, ready to run out the door.
"Cole, don't. You need to stay here, you could get hurt out there with us." Phoebe slowly lost her patience. "I don't want to go through this again. I'm a witch, you are a human. Get it into your brain, please!" And with that Phoebe left Cole at home, again.
Piper, Paige and Phoebe made it in time for the demon Lurex. He had attacked Paige a couple of days ago and later killed a different witch.
"Phoebe, watch out." Piper yelled, trying to freeze Lurex in time, but it was to late. Lurex's energy bolt had already hit Phoebe and this one fell unconscious to the floor.
Quickly Piper froze the demon and her and Paige said the vanquishing spell. Lurex disappeared in flames.
"Phoebe, are you okay?" Piper asked, kneeling next to her younger sister, but Phoebe still didn't move. Paige tried to heal her, but her powers weren't yet strong enough.
"Leo, Leo!" Piper and Paige kept yelling, but there was no sign of him. Piper and Paige carried Phoebe into the car and drove to the manor.
"Oh God, Phoebe. What happened?" Cole asked when he saw Piper and Paige carry an unconscious Phoebe into the house.
"Lurex hit her, she'll be okay." Piper answered exhausted, hoping to be right about Phoebe being okay.
Cole took Phoebe from Piper and Paige and carried her into the living room, where he gently laid her on the couch.
"God, Phoebe, wake up baby." Cole whispered, but Phoebe didn't move. "Please Phoebe. You can't leave me." He was now close to tears, watching his love lying there, helpless and hurt.
Suddenly Leo appeared. "Sorry guys, but another charge needed me and I knew I would make it in time to heal Phoebe." He said quickly, before Piper, Paige or Cole got a chance to yell at him. He went over to Phoebe and healed her.
"Don't look so worried, I'm fine." Phoebe said after opening her eyes and seeing the worried faces.
Later that night, Cole and Phoebe had gone to bed, Cole was still thinking and worrying about Phoebe.
"Cole, you okay?" Phoebe asked sweetly, feeling that something bothered him.
"No, I'm not." He answered. "I can't do this anymore. I can't watch you risking your life every day, without being able to help you."
"Cole, please. I have been fine for the past 4 years; I'll be fine now. Even Belthazor couldn't kill me." Phoebe tried to joke.
"That's something different," he interrupted her "I fell in love with you, the next demon might not…"
Phoebe and Cole kept arguing until Phoebe finally left to go and sleep in the guest bedroom.
Cole was lying awake all night, tossing and turning. He couldn't do it, he knew he couldn't. Nest time might be different, maybe next time Leo couldn't get there in time to heal Phoebe. Cole loved Phoebe more then anything, but he couldn't watch her risking her life and maybe die. He had always been the strong one, had left her behind to worry. He was a much stronger men back than. Now, without his demon half he felt like nothing.
The next morning Phoebe sneaked downstairs early to prepare breakfast. After going through the mess of making blueberry pancakes, she went upstairs to serve Cole breakfast in bed. She realized that she was to hard on him, after all he was only worried about her and she knew exactly how that felt. She used to feel the same way and still did.
"Honey, I made you breakfast." Phoebe whispered, entering the room. She looked around and found nothing else but a note.
"Phoebe, I'm sorry. I'm half the man I used to be and I can't live my life, having you protect me and having to worry about you. I love you with all my heart and I always will, but I don't know if that is enough. I'm sorry. Cole."
Phoebe slowly fell to the floor and broke out in tears. Cole had left her, for good. She could feel it. He life would never be the same again. What was she to do now?
