Piper sighed as Phoebe left her room. What if Phoebe won Cole back? Did Cole still love Phoebe? She couldn't help thinking the things she did. She grabbed her black heels and quickly put them on when she heard the doorbell and Paige saying it was Cole.
She walked down the stairs and saw Cole holding a bouquet of roses. She smiled when she saw him dressed up in a black turtle neck with a black leather jacket and khaki pants. 'He looks so good!' She thought to herself.
"Cole? What are you doing here?" Phoebe asked coming down the stairs. She gave him a seductive smile.
Cole looked at her strangely. 'Why is she acting weird?' He thought confused. "I'm here to pick-up Piper. We are going out tonight." He said.
"I actually need you tonight. Some demons attacked me today and they're not in the book. Can you help me?" She asked lying. She made that all up just so she could spend some time with Cole.
Cole set his sight on Piper. He saw the disappointed look on her face and she was looking down to the floor. 'She looks amazing tonight.' He thought to himself.
"Why don't you get your new whitelighter to help you?" He asked. He didn't want to stay with Phoebe. He wanted more than anything to go out with Piper.
"New whitelighter?" Phoebe asked confused.
"Yeah, I forgot to tell you. Andy is our new whitelighter, Phoebe." Piper told her sister.
Phoebe's mouth dropped open. She stood stunned. "Andy is back? How is that possible?" She asked to no one in particular.
"He did a lot of good as a cop. He saved a lot of lives and died saving Prue's. The Elders must have made him a whitelighter based on that." Piper explained.
"Oh ok, but Andy is new. Cole knows a lot about demons. He can help me better than Andy can." Phoebe said lying giving Cole a seductive look.
Piper sighed. "Fine, whatever! Cole, help Phoebe." She said starting to walk back upstairs. Cole grabbed her hand to stop her. "I'm really sorry Piper. Can I give you a rain check on tonight?" He asked sincerely sorry.
Piper nodded. Cole leaned down and gave Piper a passionate kiss good-bye. Piper kissed him back and gave Phoebe a cold glare as she walked back upstairs.
Phoebe grabbed Cole's hand and went to the sunroom. They sat down on the wicker chair. Cole looked around the room in search of the Book of Shadows. "Uh, Phoebe? Where's the Book?" He asked suspiciously.
"I told you there was nothing in it." She said. She didn't want Cole to get suspicious. She knew he would get mad and leave. She needed time to win him back and that wouldn't happen if he was pissed at her.
Paige stood in the living room doorway, witnessing the scene that had played out before her. 'Why would Phoebe do that to Piper?' She asked herself.
Her boyfriend had left. She didn't want him here when the darklighter came and they killed Leo. Paige knew that Piper was upset so she went up to comfort her.
"Piper?" Paige asked knocking on the door to her big sister's room.
Piper wiped away her tears and cleared her throat. She had been crying because she knew that the only reason Phoebe needed "his help" was to get back together with him. She didn't want to lose Cole. "Yeah?"
Paige slowly opened the door and poked her head through. "Can I come in?" She asked gently.
Piper told she could come in as long as Phoebe wasn't with her. Paige entered her room and sat on her bed beside Piper. "Are you ok?" She asked taking Piper's hand.
"Oh yeah! I'm great! My sister is trying to steal my boyfriend!" Piper yelled sarcastically. She then realized what she said. "God, I sound like I'm in high school." She groaned. She put her head in her hands.
Paige giggled at her sister then she turned serious. "Piper, don't worry so much. Cole is in love with you...not Phoebe. He would never hurt you." Paige said pulling Piper into her arms. She stroked the back of her sister's hair.
"How can you be so sure?" She asked crying.
"Because I see the way he looks at you. And that's beautiful. I can tell that he would rather die before something bad ever happened to you." Paige explained.
Piper let out a half-smile. "Yeah your right. I guess I'm too worried about losing him to have seen any of that."
Paige laughed. "Honey, don't worry about Phoebe. If she tries anything on him I will kill her." She said jokingly. Piper giggled. "Thanks Paige."
Paige hugged her. "Anytime, sis." She then got up and before she left Piper called out to her.
"Paige, can you keep an eye on Phoebe. We both know that there isn't any demon. I don't want her making any moves on Cole." She said. Paige said she would.
Paige went to the sunroom and saw that Cole had a frustrated look on his face. "Is everything ok?" She asked.
Phoebe looked up at her sister and wanted her to leave. "No, it isn't. A demon attacked Phoebe and I am trying to figure out who it was. But she isn't giving me any helpful clues to figure out who it was." Cole said before Phoebe could say anything.
"Oh really?" Paige said throwing a suspicious look at Phoebe. "Why didn't you tell us?" She asked. She knew a demon didn't attack Phoebe or else she would have mentioned something about it.
"I didn't want to worry you guys. I wanted to handle it on my own." Phoebe lied.
So you thought it be better to ruin Piper and Cole's date then to tell me and us figuring it out?"
Phoebe gave Paige a cold glare. "No, I knew that Cole could help." Phoebe stood up and pulled Paige into the other room. "What are you doing?" She asked accusingly.
"What do you mean? What could little ole me do?" Paige asked innocently.
"Did Piper send you down here?" She asked glaring up the stairs toward her sister's bedroom.
"So what if she did? I am not letting you hurt her just because you're jealous that she has a great guy and you have no one." Paige said. Once she did she received a slap in the face from Phoebe.
Phoebe pulled her hand away and realized what she did. "I'm SO sorry Paige. I wasn't thinking." She pleaded with her sister.
"I'm telling Cole the truth. He deserves to know." She said starting off to the sunroom.
"Paige, please don't! I'll tell him that there is no demon." She said.
"And that you're using him to get him back." Paige added. Phoebe groaned and when she turned around Cole was standing in the doorway, with his arms crossed across his chest.
"Cole, I'm so sorry about what I did." She said with tears forming in her eyes. She only wanted Cole back and she didn't care about who she hurt in the process.
"I don't want to talk to you or even look at you right now. I'm going to talk to Piper. I hope she won't be too mad at me for canceling our date for you." HE said. He stalked right past her and went to her bedroom.
He heard yelling in her room and was apprehensive about entering. He didn't want to intrude if Piper was talking to someone.
"Leo, leave me alone! I am never going back to you!" She screamed at him.
Leo grabbed Piper and forcefully kissed her. Piper shoved him away and punched him in the face. "Don't you dare touch me again or I will kill you!" She screamed.
"Piper I love you!" Leo pleaded. Piper shook her head and laughed.
"Maybe at one time you did. But you changed! The Leo I knew would never have hurt a fly. You're a completely different person now." She said.
"I am never giving up on us. If I can't be with you then no one will." He told her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him. Piper squirmed to free herself from his grasp. Leo slapped her and told her to stop.
Piper quit moving and stood still. Her heart was pounding and she was scared to death of what Leo might do.
Cole heard what was going and tried to open the door but found it was locked. He pounded on the door.
Leo ignored the sounds and threw Piper into a wall. "You never should have tried to leave me. Good thing you never filed for divorce yet."
By the impact of the hit, Piper was knocked unconscious. Leo stood over her body and kicked her in the face. Blood started pouring from her nose.
Cole heard the noises inside and tried to enter the room to save Piper. He shimmered into the room and saw Leo beating the crap out of Piper. She had cuts and bruises all over her body and face. Blood was all over her from the wounds Leo had given her. Cole formed a fire ball and threw it at Leo. Leo cried out in pain and surprise.
Cole formed another fire ball and was about to throw it him when Leo orbed out. Cole ran over to Piper and picked her up. He carefully carried her downstairs and placed her down on the couch.
Paige and Phoebe ran into the living room to where Piper was. "Oh my god, what happened?!?!" Paige exclaimed. They never saw Piper so bruised and bloody before.
"Leo happened. He was pissed off that she was planning of leaving him." Cole explained what he heard.
Phoebe called for Andy and when he came he immediately healed Piper. Piper groaned and tried to sit up but found every time she moved she was in pain.
"If you healed me then why am I still in pain?" She asked rubbing her head.
"I only healed your worse wounds. Most of the wounds you got you still have. You're going to be in pain for a while. I'm sorry." Andy said.
"It's ok. I'll be fine." Piper said. "Thanks for helping me Cole." She gave him a sweet smile.
"I only wish I got there sooner. That way you never would have had to go through that." Cole said. He sat down on the couch and Piper was leaning on him with her head on his shoulder and his arm around her.
