Author's Note: The story is set a few months after Centennial Charmed. Piper is not pregnant. Cole is half-human and has all of his normal powers and is not insane. Phoebe still works at the Bay Mirror and Paige is a full- time witch.
Piper sat on the couch, confused about what happened with Cole. 'It shouldn't have happened. Cole loves Phoebe, not me. And I love Leo.' Piper thought.
She couldn't stop thinking about the kiss and how great it was. She still had the taste of the kiss on her lips. She knew it was wrong to cheat on Leo but she couldn't help what she was feeling. She felt like nothing else existed when she was with Cole. It felt so right being in his arms. She felt passion in their kiss that she never felt before.
Piper also knew that she couldn't tell her sisters about Cole. They would be so angry she didn't tell them sooner and that Piper kissed him. She still wasn't sure if Cole was evil or not but she honestly didn't care.
She knew that Leo deserved to know what happened but she knew what Leo was like when he was really mad and was afraid of what would happen. She knew she shouldn't have kissed Cole and promised to meet him again. But she was feeling things with Cole she never felt with Leo. She would just have to be friends with Cole and nothing more.
Piper threw her head into a pillow as she let out a frustrated cry. As if on cue, Phoebe walked into the living room. "Piper, are you ok? I thought I heard someone yell."
Piper looked up and sighed. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just confused about a lot of things." Piper confessed.
"Want to talk about it? After all I am an advice columnist." Phoebe laughed.
"No. I need to sort this out myself." Piper told Phoebe.
"Piper, just do what your heart tells you to do."
Piper nodded, hugged her sister, and thanked her. Phoebe hugged back. "Any time, sis." Phoebe stood up and grabbed her laptop. "I have to go drop off my column and then Jason and I are going to go out."
Phoebe grabbed her car keys. "Paige will be home around 8 o'clock. She said that if you need her for anything to just call her cell phone and she'll be here in a minute." Piper nodded and watched Phoebe leave for the office.
Piper laid down on the couch and continued to think about Cole. 'Why am I still thinking about him?' Piper thought.
Piper saw a figure shimmer into the manor. Piper stood up and was prepared for an attack. She relaxed when she saw it was Cole. "You know, it's too dangerous for you to be here."
Cole sat down on the couch. "I don't care, Piper. I need to talk to you."
Piper nodded and sat down beside Cole. "What is it? You can tell me anything."
Cole turned to look at Piper. "I know you love Leo but there is something I need to tell you."
Piper told him to go on. "I saw Leo at some club. He was with some chick and he was drinking a lot."
"You're lying. Leo would never do that." Piper said, not wanting to believe it was true.
"Just like he would never hurt you? Piper, I wouldn't lie to you." Cole told her.
"I don't know. Would you? For all I know you could still be evil." Piper said.
Cole stood up angrily. "I am NOT evil. The Source possessed me. You may not want to believe that I am good but that's the truth whether you like it or not."
Piper stood up. "I'm sorry, Cole. But do you really blame me for wondering?" Piper questioned.
Cole shook his head and said no. "I guess I can't after all the stuff I put your family through."
"I shouldn't have even said that. You've been great. I know I haven't been the greatest to you but you put that aside to help me." Piper hugged him.
Cole hugged her back. "I'll always be here to help you Piper. All you have to do is knock on my door."
"Thanks Cole."
"I have to go. Talk to Leo though. I really did see him and you deserve to know what happened."
Piper nodded and watched as Cole left. 'Just like Leo deserves to know what happened between me and Cole.' Piper thought miserably.
Piper looked at the clock and read that it was 7:15. Piper walked to the kitchen and made herself a salad for dinner.
Piper kept thinking about what Cole said earlier. Cole saw Leo with another girl at a club. If Leo really did cheat on Piper then Piper was going to tell Leo about Cole. She did love Leo and she didn't want him out of her life.
Piper called for Leo. Leo orbed in looking wasted. "What do you want Piper?"
Piper noticed that Leo was drunk and that this was not a good time to ask him about the club. "Never mind."
Leo moved closer to Piper until she could smell the alcohol on his breath. "You wanted something so what is it?"
Piper shoved him away and ran upstairs. As she ran upstairs she yelled down to him, "I said never mind."
Piper locked herself in her and Leo's bedroom. She hated Leo when he was drunk.
Leo orbed into the room. An evil grin plastered on his lips. "Tell me Piper. You wanted me and now you got me."
"Stay away from me!" Piper screamed. Leo put a hand over her mouth.
"Shut up!" Leo then slapped her. Piper could feel her cheek burn where Leo hit her.
Piper kicked him in the stomach and screamed at him to leave. "I'll never leave you Piper." Leo said.
Leo started walking towards her blocking the door. Piper was becoming scared. "Cole! Cole! Can you hear me? I need you!" Leo hit her again to quiet her.
At the Penthouse
Cole was sitting on the couch, watching TV, and drinking beer when heard a voice in his head. 'Cole! Cole! Can you hear me? I need you!'
"Piper" Cole whispered. Cole shimmered to the Manor. He looked around and didn't see her anywhere. He heard a crash coming from upstairs and ran up the steps as fast as his legs would take him.
Cole listened carefully to see where Piper was. He heard another crash coming from her bedroom.
Cole ran down the hall to her bedroom and opened the door. He saw Piper in the corner of the room, her face bruised and her head bleeding. He also saw Leo standing over her.
"Leave her alone, Wyatt!" Cole yelled.
Leo turned to see Cole standing in the doorway. "What are you going to go about it, Turner?" Leo saw Cole form an energy ball and was prepared to throw it at him. Leo gave up and orbed away.
Cole ran over to Piper who was crying hysterically. Cole took her in his arms and Piper rested her head on his chest. Cole stroked her hair in a way to calm her down. "Leo's gone now. Everything will be fine."
Piper couldn't stop crying. She felt so safe though in Cole's arms, like nothing could hurt her. The next thing Piper heard was someone yelling. "Piper?!"
A.N Sorry to all the Leo loving fans! I know I make Leo come off as a real badass Please keep R&R! Thanks for all the great reviews!
