Chapter 2- Feelings

Phoebe ran, her tears falling on the black pavement. She soon found herself at the manor, unlocking the door. She continued to run, up the stairs and into her room. She closed the door, and leaned against the door, both from exhaustion, mentally and physically. She slid down to the floor and hugged her knees to her chest. Her tears were still falling onto her arms as she buried her head into them. She soon heard a knock on the other side of the door.

"Phoebe?" Paige called out from the other side of the door. When there was no answer, Paige knocked again, and still didn't get a response. She looked to Piper who had concern all over her face. Piper looked into Paige's eyes and shook her head. "She needs to deal with this on her own.

"C'mon, let's give her some time. She'll talk to us when she feels she can," Piper said, urging Paige to follow her. Paige looked back one more time at the wooden door, and then followed Piper downstairs.

Phoebe sobbed quietly to herself, thinking of all the things that she did to Cole and how unfair she had been to him. Suddenly, she felt this weird sensation, and then Cole blurred into her room.

"Phoebe" Cole said, looking at her on the floor crying into her arms. How much he had wanted to gather her into his arms at that moment to try and comfort her, but he held back, not knowing whether or not he was the cause of her pain, again.

"Cole, please, just leave," Phoebe said quietly in between sobs.

"No, Phoebe. I want to find out what's wrong this time. I thought I had gotten to you in the club tonight, what happened?" Cole asked forcefully, but gently. Phoebe lifted her head wearily, her red and puffy eyes looking up at him. Cole felt his heart crack at the sight of her like this.

"Cole, you did reach me. It's just that" Phoebe trailed off, not being able to look at him in the eye for too long.

"Phoebe what is it? Come here," Cole said, gathering his courage, and stepping towards her and helping her up to sit on the bed.

"Cole, I don't think I deserve you," Phoebe muttered quietly. Cole could barely hear her, but he looked alarmed at her.

"Phoebe, what are you talking about? I think you have that backwards, I don't deserve you, but I'm going to do the best I can to get you back," Cole said, trying to catch her eye.

"It's just that how I've treated you, ever since you came back" Phoebe trailed off, not able to finish the sentence.

"Phoebe," Cole said tenderly, lifting her chin with his hand so that he could look her in the eyes. "Phoebe I understand. You were hurting, and me always pushing you to take me back wasn't really helping. But I still want to be with you if you'll have me back," Cole said uncertainly, not knowing what her reaction would be.

Phoebe's eyes started to well up with tears again, then she flung herself to Cole and hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go. She cried into his shoulder, letting her fears and doubts go with each tear. Cole was stunned by her reaction, but loved it none the less. He wrapped his arms around her, and comforted her.

"Does this mean you'll have me back?" Cole asked, looking down at Phoebe when her tears slowed. She looked up into his face, and cupped his face. She reached up and gave him a gentle kiss.

"Yes Cole, I have you again, and you have me again. This time, I'm not letting go," Phoebe said with love shining through her eyes. Cole kissed her again, then hugged her tightly, promising that no one was going to hurt her this time, not ever again.
