"Piper?! Are you ok? Oh my god what happened?!" Paige exclaimed. Piper sat up in her bed, confused about how she got into bed. Piper felt pain all over when she sat up.
"What time is it?" Paige looked at her watch and said it was 9:45.
"Piper what happened? You face is bruised and you have a cut on your forehead." Paige said extremely worried about her sister. "Was it a demon?" Paige asked.
"Yeah, a demon named Leo." Piper said bitterly. Piper saw Paige's eyes go wide and her face drop open.
"I am going to kill the whitelighter!" Paige promised her.
"Paige can I ask you something?" Piper asked. Paige nodded her head. "How did I get into bed?" Piper asked thinking she sounded
"I came in and saw you in bed. My guess is that someone put you in bed." Paige shrugged.
"Cole..." Piper whispered.
"Cole? Piper, we vanquished him 4 months ago. What does he have to do with anything anyway?" Paige asked confused about why Piper would mention Cole.
"Uh...nothing. Must have been some horrible nightmare. I must of passed out earlier." Piper lied.
"Ok. Are you sure you're ok? I can call Phoebe and tell her to come home." Paige offered.
"No, let her be with Jason. One of us deserves to be happy." Piper said bitterly.
"Everything will work out fine. I promise. You get some sleep. You deserve it." Paige said walking towards the door.
"Thanks Paige." Piper said.
"For what?" Paige asked confused. "For everything. For checking on me and for just caring."
"You're my sister and I love you. I am always going to be here for you. Whether you like it or not." Paige said laughing at the last part.
Piper laughed. She watched as Paige left the room. "Thanks Cole." Piper said, hoping he could hear her. Piper thanked him for giving her a shoulder to cry on and taking care of her.
The next morning
Piper woke up and saw a bouquet of flowers with a card sitting on her dresser. Piper got out of bed as she ignored the pain she was feeling. She slowly walked over to the dresser. She picked up the card and read it.
Piper,
I just want you to know that no matter what...I will always save you. I will never let anyone hurt you.
Cole
Piper felt tears come to her eyes when she read the card. She set the card down and picked up the flowers. White roses. Her favorite. Piper thought the flowers were beautiful.
Piper set the flowers down and put her hair into a bun. She put her robe on and carefully walked downstairs.
Piper smiled when she saw Paige making breakfast. "Paige what are you doing?" Piper asked giggling.
"I wanted to surprise you. I thought I would let you relax by cooking you breakfast." Paige explained blushing slightly.
"That's sweet Paige. Thanks you. But you do know you can't cook." Piper said laughing.
"Hey that doesn't stop a girl from trying." Paige said laughing now also.
Piper laughed along with Paige. "Did Phoebe come home?" Paige told her she was sleeping.
Piper sighed. "Phoebe and I are going to spend some quality sister bonding time together."
Paige argued. "Honey, you are still in pain. I don't think that you should be going out. I'm sure Phoebe will understand."
Piper decided against arguing with Paige. Paige was just as stubborn as she was.
Paige handed Piper a plate of food. Piper dug in since she was starving. "Gees...hungry much?" Paige teased.
Piper ignored her and continued eating. Phoebe coming jumping down the stairs, smiling and happy. "Hi People!" Phoebe said excitedly.
"Ok, you are way too perky. I'm just telling you." Paige teased. "Why are you so happy?"
"Jason and I finally slept together!" Phoebe said. Phoebe was finally over Cole for good and was moving on with her life.
"Alright Phoebe!" Paige exclaimed. "Bout some time you got some action." Paige laughed.
"I really like Jason and I want things to work out between us." Phoebe said not noticing that Piper was purposely staying out of the conversation.
Paige looked over at Piper and saw that Piper was staring into her food like it was the most interesting thing in the world. "You ok? You're being really quiet."
Piper looked up and saw Phoebe's mouth drop open when she saw the bruises. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh my god! What happened? When?" Phoebe stumbled over her words.
"Leo decided I was his personal punching bag. It happened last night." Piper said trying her best not to relive last night.
Phoebe leaned over and hugged Piper. "I am SO sorry I wasn't here." Phoebe told her. "So am I. We should have protected you." Paige added.
"It's ok. Really it is." Piper tried to convince them. Piper got up and went to her bedroom. Paige and Phoebe looked at each other. "Should we go after her?" Phoebe asked unsure of how to help her sister who was in pain...literally and emotionally.
"NO, we should let her alone. She needs to think and be by herself." Paige explained. She really wanted to help her sister but knew that Piper would just push them away.
Piper locked herself in her bedroom. She didn't want her sisters to come in. Piper threw herself on her bed and cried. Piper found herself calling for Cole.
Piper saw Cole shimmer in her bedroom and sat up. Cole sat down on her bed. "I really shouldn't be here." Cole said.
"Then why did you come?" Piper asked smiling.
Cole smiled back at her. "Because you needed me."
Piper realized then that she had feelings for Cole that went beyond friendship. Piper put her hand on the back on his neck and pulled him close to her. There lips were only centimeters apart. Piper could feel his breath on her neck.
Cole closed his eyes at the feeling of Piper so close to him. Piper kissed him with every ounce of passion she had in her. She felt Cole kiss her back and it was the best feeling she ever had.
