Piper tapped her foot impatiently as she watched her husband try to think of a logical explanation.
"Well... uh you see... Leo began, not quite looking his wife in the eye.
"For heavens sake Leo, spit it out already.." Piper growled.
"Here I'll do it for you, Leo," Paige offered. Phoebe has FINALLY come to her senses and hates Cole with a PASSION.... Right Pheebs?"
Piper turned her suprised look from Paige to Phoebe. "Phoebe did you say that?"
Phoebe shrugged. Maybe I did; he's an asshole and I needed to get rid of him.
Piper stood there shock registered all over her face.
Wow, you look exactly the way Cole did." Paige said peering at her sisters face with amusement. Only his jaw was a little wider and....
"PAIGE!" Pipe and Leo shouted together.
"Alright, geez, have a cow will ya." Paige muttered.
And YOU, Piper said turning her angry glare back to Phoebe.
"What happened to " I love him so much I can't stand to be without him." Are you possesed?"
"No, I thought you all would be jumping for joy about my decision."
"I am," Paige said cut into the conversation.
Listen Piper, you're my sister, not my mother and well frankly, I don't give a damn about what you think."
And with that Phoebe flounced out the door and out of their hair.
"LEO, what in the HELL was that about?"
Leo shrugged. " I don't know, I can't think of what would have happened to make her act this way."
"I CAN, Paige declared. "She finally decided to drop the creep and move on with her life. I can't believe you guys aren't thrilled."
Piper rolled her eyes."Paige, normally we WOULD be, but I honestly think Cole truly loves her."
"Yeah well I truly loved my black lab in third grade, but I got rid of him when he bit me."
Piper threw up her hands in aggrivation. " Fine. You just sit there and watch as your sister makes an ass out of herself in front of the the one person who loves her as much as we do!"
"Paige sat down and crossed her legs. "You make that sound like a bad thing."
"It is. I want you to look in the book and see if you can find anything about demons that cast hate spells. I'm going to talk to Cole and find out what happened.
Paige smiled."I think I can handle that."
"Good, Leo orb me to Cole's please."
Leo walked to his wife and watched her tight breathing. "Breathe Piper. Breathe"
I am Leo, I'm God Damn INHALING, Piper looked at him and smiledly tightly. "Can we go, or do I need to call a taxi?"
Leo sighed. "This is going to be a long day."
~~~~~~~~
At Coles apartment, Cole was pacing back and forth thinking of what had happened earlier.
He knew she was upset and even a little emotional, but he hadn't expected her to turn from sweet and loving Phoebe into a hate infested woman. It just wasn't her nature. He felt so many things at that moment. He longed to see her, to touch her, to kiss her. She was his oxygen. He had been deprived for far too long.
He suddenly let out an angry yell and shot an energy ball into the wall.
Leo and Piper orbed in just in time to see his outburst.
"Piper, get ready to blow him up." Leo cautioned stepping towards him.
Piper watched him as he desicrated the wall.
"No Leo, he's not attacking us..... he's attacking himself."
Cole looked up and saw his former friends. He smiled as he spoke.
" I wasn't aware I had visitors."
Piper walked slowly up to him. He was over a century old and still had that boyish glint in his eyes. But as she looked deeper into his eyes she could tell that the look was slowly becoming a look of pain.
"What do you see?" he whispered softly.
She didn't answer him and still searched his eyes.
"Can't answer.... Or don't want to?" he coaxed.
"I see a man in great pain..... I see a man of great strength, of love and of courage.
Cole sat down on his sofa and relaxed a little. Sometimes I wonder if he still exists."
"How are you?" She asked softly.
Cole gave her a half smile." Pretty good, considering the love of my life despises my entire being."
Cole, don't give up so easily. I don't know whats going on, but I know she loves you with her entire heart."
Cole grunted and picked up a photo of him and Phoebe at the park. "This is so strange. When I look at this photo I see two people so much in love they can't see straight.
"Cole, those people still exist. You just have to look for them."
Cole looked up at her his eyes drilling into hers. "I'm searching with everything I have."
Piper took his hand "I know this is hard to ask, but are you still willing to do the spell for your powers?"
Cole sat there, silently looking at the photo in his hand. "I'll do anything to get her back."
"Ok, let me find out whats really going on with Phoebe first". Piper stood up and glanced at her watch.
"Meet us at the Manor at ten o' clock."
Cole looked at her. "Thank you Piper."
"Don't thank me yet."
Piper walked to Leo, "Are you ready?"
Leo held his arm to her. " I'm ready."........
Piper waved to Cole as they vanished into the air.~~~~~~~~
