LOVE HURTS – contains use of drugs and strong language if offended turn back now.

Phoebe looked at the front door, the same front door she remembered been thrown into when she said or did something wrong, the same door she wished she had the strength to walk out of. And when she was finally on the side that she wanted to be, the side of freedom but now she was to venture through the same door, onto the side she was stuck on for so long, to insure her freedom to insure she would be able to live a life free from fear...

She knocked it, the door, to others just wood, to her all her fears in one...an obstacle, something that had to be overcome...and the only way to over come this was to endeavour into the heart of her fear to fight it from the inside out, starting with...

His face, his eyes...he'd had a drink and he was high. She could tell always could, he just looked at her and her at him, there eyes meeting, he smiled. And spoke. "Phoebe Halliwell" he took a step out of the door and walked closer, "To what do I owe this?"
"I need you" She spoke, he looked at her then across the street, "I need you Dan"
"What the hell do you mean...are you crazy...are you trying to set me up?" He asked, trying to focus, "Dean and me have had a fight, Prue has kicked me out and I have no where else to go. I'm sorry about everything ...Dan please take me back." He moved forward and took his hand around her neck, "Phoebe don't think you can take me for a fool..." Phoebe looked at him defiantly as he got closer to her face and looked into her emotionless eyes, "Dan I need you..." She was struggling to breath as his hand tightened around her neck, "I have...no...where else" He laughed and as her face turned a deep shade of crimson he let go and pulled her into a hug, tight to his chest, "Well the prodigal son returns..." He pulled back and looked into Phoebe's still emotionless face. "But you see I don't believe you" Phoebe shrugged, "Tell me what I have to do to prove it...and I'll do it." Dan nodded, "all in good time" He explained. Taking her bag from her he walked into the house...Phoebe watched and hesitantly she passed through the door, into the heart of her fear...for her family.

As soon as the door shut, she was stood in what she remembered as her hell. Dan came walking back, "So how about a beer" Phoebe nodded, he held out a cold beverage but when she lent forward to take It he grabbed her arm and pulled her close, "Don't fuck with me Phoebe, you'll regret it" Phoebe just nodded, "Are you wired?" He asked, "I'm not that stupid" She said, "Dan, I just want to come back to you, please" Dan looked at her curiously, "Show me" he said, "Show you what"
"That you're not wired." Phoebe looked down at her shirt, and slowly lifted it up showing that she was clean, nothing. He nodded, and handed her the bottle.

She sat on the sofa and took a swig of the bottle as he stood above her, she just looked at him, "Phoebe..." He said taking a seat next to her, so close she had no room to move. "About before..." He implied as he moved his hand across hers and to her stomach where the still visible wound was as he moved her shirt up slightly. She felt sick as his hand touched her but she had to keep an emotionless face, "I had to teach you a lesson." Phoebe nodded, "I know, I understand that Dan."
"You know that I always loved you, right" Phoebe nodded,
"Dan, I loved you to, always have. Dean, he was just, a mistake." Dan nodded, "Well your back, but yu have to understand that you'll have to prove yourself"
"How?" She asked, "I want you to trust me."
"Not tonight, tonight I need to rest..." Phoebe just nodded getting a little uncomfortable with him so close...

There was then a knock at the door, Dan looked at Phoebe, "Justin's coming over, we have something to sort out. And he's got some stuff" Phoebe just nodded relived that he was moving away from her, she hared some mumbling and then hared them come through the door. "So Halliwell you came crawling back"
"Well it looks like..."
"Yeah well make sure you are not up to any shit" Phoebe looked at him, "You know me, I'm not that stupid." Justin nodded and moved towards the sofa opposite her, Dan sat next to her, "So how about we get some stuff going..." He turned to Phoebe, "You look like you could relax a bit" Phoebe did not want what was coming next but she knew what they expected off her...

She looked from Justin to Dan and back to Justin, "What do you say?" Dan asked,
"You know me" She answered, he smiled, "Good girl" He said, "Your back"
"You still know that we can not full trust you" Justin spoke, Phoebe nodded her head "I know that but, I'll prove my self, the knife through the gut was all I needed..." Dan took her hand again and rolled the sleeve of her shirt up, "Lets forget about that now and have some fun...this is good shit that Justin's got" Phoebe just looked at her arm...she knew that from this point on she had no control.

As soon as he injected her with the drug she felt herself loosen up, she fell back on the sofa he head blurry and her mind a mess, she was high. This was strong stuff and with the alcohol that was sure to come, with a concoction of liquor and other stuff, she knew as the night went on she would lose more control...but she had to do this, sacrifice everything she is or was. She wasn't quite sure about anything, except that she needed to succeed and bring Dan down...

He and Justin had also drugged up and were light headed much like her, the room was filled by the laughs of all three of them, as Dan lent forward taking out the Whisky, the party had begun...but where would it end?

What do u think? R and Rthanks!
