Chapter 6

Thunder and lightening lit up the sky above Phoebe's fragile body. A squad car was driving by the gas station where Phoebe was lying unconsciously.

"Hey, Darryl! There's someone out there," His partner said pointing at the gas station. "What the hell?" Darryl asked pulling into the gas station. "Call an ambulance!" Darryl exclaimed jumping out of the car to see if the person was okay.

When he saw that it was Phoebe, he was astonished. "Phoebe? Phoebe, wake up!" Darryl called. He turned to his partner and yelled, "Hurry!" Darryl could hear the static from the radio, and voices going back and forth.

Phoebe was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated. Darryl followed the ambulance, and took the liberty of calling her sisters to let them know what was going on.

Meanwhile, Prue and Piper were driving as fast as they could to the hospital. "Prue?" Piper called as Prue was struggling to see the road as the rain hit the windshield. "What is it, Piper?" Prue asked. "Phoebe will be okay, right?" Piper asked uncertainly. Prue turned to glance at her sister for a split second. "Phoebe will be okay. She's a tough kid," Prue stated firmly. Piper nodded.

Prue felt so bad for yelling at Phoebe when she got home. They haven't spoken to each other before this happened, and she felt like this was her fault. Maybe if they were getting along better, this wouldn't have happened. Piper was right, she has been really tough on Phoebe. God...

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, the doctor came out to speak with her sisters and Darryl. Phoebe was sedated, because the doctors thought that would be best if she got some rest.

"Doctor, how is she?" Prue asked worried sick. "She is fine now. Nothing of concern, but it is what happened to her that I am worried about," The doctor stated. "God, what do you mean?" Piper asked frustrated. The doctor took a breath, and tried his best to explain.

"Phoebe showed some signs of a struggle before she came here. The bruises, the cuts, and lab results came back showing that she had a substance of date-rape drug in her body. We know that she wasn't raped, but she could've been sexually assaulted," The doctor stated firmly.

Silence crept over the sisters as tears threaten to flow. "Maybe you should talk to the officer who found her. We are keeping her here for several days," The doctor announced. The sisters simply nodded. They felt so afraid for her, what's going to happen next?

"Hey, Prue...She'll be okay," Darryl insisted. "Thank you for finding her," Prue said. "Right place, right timing...Look, you heard what the doctor said about Phoebe. So, can I ask you a few questions?" Darryl asked gently. "I got to see Phoebe," Piper blurted out. "Okay...You go ahead and see her," Prue said. Piper walked off into the hospital room where Phoebe was still sleeping.

Darryl turned to Prue and sighed. "Do you know who she was with tonight?" Darryl asked. "I'm not quite sure, but I heard Piper and her talking about some party with her boss," Prue answered the best she could. "Do you know his name?" Darryl questioned. "Jason...Jason something. He owns the Bay Mirror," Prue said. "Jason Dean?!" Darryl asked. "Yeah, I think that's him," Prue replied. Darryl looked extremely worried.

"Why?" Prue asked. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but Jason's name is linked to three other cases like this. All of which he got out of. If something happened between Phoebe and him tonight, and she decide to go through with a lawsuit. I suggest you hire the second best lawyer in the state. Because he has the best one," Darryl said.

"What cases is he linked to?" Prue asked. Darryl sighed and answered, "Sexual assault." "God...They can't just let him wonder around like that, can they?" Prue asked. "He's got money, Prue. And money buys the best lawyers, and the best lawyers can get out of anything. They know their rights," Darryl said. "This can't be happening," Prue said. "Let's not give up hope yet. We don't know what really happened between them," Darryl stated. Prue nodded. "Why don't you go see her? I'll be back later," Darryl said.

Meanwhile, in NYC, Cole was sleeping soundly in his bed until the phone started to ring off the hook. "Hello? Cole Turner," He greeted turning on the light by his bed. Something seemed unsettling to him, but he couldn't quite put a finger to it.

"Cole, it's Prue. Phoebe's sister. I know it is kind of early over there, but I have to call and let you know that..." Prue paused. "What is it? Is it Phoebe? Is she alright?" Cole asked as his heart was racing. "Yeah, it's Phoebe. She's sort of hurt and she's in the hospital. I just thought I let you know," Prue finished. "Is she okay?" Cole asked softly praying that the answer would be yes. "She's sleeping now, but...I have to go," Prue said hanging up the phone.

Cole placed the phone back on the charger, and took a minute to let everything sink in. He was trying to sort out what he was going to do. Phoebe needs him, but he has a big meeting at the office tomorrow. Then, it came down to what was more important to him.

In the middle of the night, Cole walked over to the maid's room and woke her up. "Hey, I'm sorry to wake you up, but it's an emergency. Could you quickly pack my things into a suitcase?" She nodded and followed Cole out. Every minute that passed seem like a minute wasted, because he had to take the time and make sure everything was in order before he left.

By the time he was ready, it was five in the morning. Just as Cole was running down the stairs, his father called for him. "Cole! What are you doing, son?" Jonathan called. "Phoebe's hurt. I have to go see her," Cole replied dashing down the stairs with his suitcase and car keys.

Back at the hospital, Phoebe awoke from her deep sleep. She tried to move and adjust herself to sit up, but she couldn't. She had a massive headache, and her body ached. Phoebe touched her head, and found that there was a bandage on it. She must've bumped it when she escaped from the car. Images of that night events were like slideshows in her head.

"No...No..." Phoebe cried clutching her head in her hands. She hoped the images would fade away, but it was only worse. Phoebe never felt so alone and helpless than she did in that one moment. Worse of all, how was she going to tell Cole? Oh, he would be so mad and everything would be her fault. She should've never said yes to him in the first place.

Phoebe's cries woke Piper up from her nap on the chair next to her sister's bed. "Phoebe! Phoebe...It's okay. You're okay," Piper said helping her to calm down. "Piper...I-I should have listened to you and never gone with him. How could I be so stupid?" Phoebe asked with tears streaming down her face. Piper could only hold her sister in her arms and try to comfort her the best way she knew how. She didn't know what to say to make everything okay again. It might never be okay again.

"How am I going to tell Cole about this?" Phoebe asked sniffling. Explaining to Cole seemed to be the most important thing on her mind right now. All the cuts and bruises will heal soon, but the event won't seem to ever leave her mind. Is that a scar she will have to carry with her forever?

Prue entered the room where Phoebe was resting. "Hey..." Prue greeted softly. "I wasn't sure if I was ever going to see you guys again," Phoebe stated trying to sit up on her bed. "Easy!" Prue called out assisting Phoebe. "Your back is kind of battered pretty badly," Prue said. Phoebe stared at her sisters wondering if the feeling of being used, and violated would ever go away.

"I need to call Cole," Phoebe declared. "I already called him while you were sleeping. I'm not sure if he's coming or not. By the sound of it, he most likely will," Prue explained. Phoebe sat back against her pillow as the eerie silence continued to fill the room.

"Phoebe?" Piper called taking her hand once again. Phoebe turned to Piper, acknowledging her. "Something bad happened to you tonight, didn't it?" Piper asked gently. It wasn't easy at first to admit, but Phoebe finally nodded in silence. They stared at each other speechlessly.

TBC...

Sorry, but Cole will be in the next chapter. So, don't be angry. There will be plenty of P/C scenes next chapter if you like those fluffy-too cute kind of moments. :D Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
