Aww, I love you guys so much! No, I'm not drunk. I just love reading your reviews. You're all so nice to me. It's awesome, I love checking my mail. Anyways...

s.halliwell- Yes, I hate PaigeCole fics! That's just so wrong. It was never my intention to have a PaigeCole fic, just confuse the hell out of Paige. I king of figured that death would make Prue more understanding then she usually is, you know?

Who-will-change-the-world- I can understand why you wouldn't like how he changed so suddenly. I was trying to show you guys that throughout the story, Cole had been overtaken by his demonic half and at the end he finally overcame it. That's why he changed. Thank you so much.

.elementbabe.- Yeah I talk like that often too. It is going to be a relief that Cole is gone.

Paige Halliwell- Yeah, I can't stand PaigeCole. It's ridiculous. Well, it does screw things up with Paige and Kyle a little just because she'll be confused and apprehensive, but I'll see if I can work things out... Cole did not love Paige, he loved Phoebe still but he wanted her to know that he didn't blame her or hate her.

Charmed-Snow- Okay, your first sentence scared me. Anyone reviewing this story that says they're a diehard Cole fan is likely to hate it. But I'm glad to know you thought it was okay. I do believe there was a misunderstanding though. I'm not putting Paige and Cole together and Paige doesn't love him. As I've said, she was confused about her feelings after everything that happened. I'm a fan of Phoebe and Cole, not Paige and Cole. Thanks though.

Alyssa Halliwell- I'm glad he died a good guy too. It makes me feel better about killing him.

tvspaz626- Yeah to be honest with you, I didn't plan that. I don't plan anything I write, I just sit down and type and whatever comes out, comes out!

tj191218- Wow, that's a lot of numbers. I liked the I love you thing too. Thanks for the review.

Angels Fall First- I love your name! It's so awesome. You really think it's the best fic on the site? That's so sweet! Thank you so much. I will write more (obviously). I love Cole too. He's so cute.

SK- Yeah, I figured people would be a little weirded out by that. She was confused though. I couldn't let Cole die bad! The Charmed writers made the mistake of doing that (twice!), I'm not about to.

The-Cheese-Fairy- I know I rock! You rock too, so that's good. It seems like you LOVED all of my chapters... lol! Yes, he's gone finally. I LOVE Prue and Paige together. They're so awesome. They need to bring her back for one of the episodes.

.elementbabe.- Super-awesome huh? That's good, I'm glad. I will definitely try to keep up the super/crazy work.

Lucky Knight- Haha, that's funny stuff. Hey no problem bringing Prue back, it was my pleasure. Prudence is awesome. Her name sucks, she's cool. I will definitely keep an eye out for your story. In fact, let me know in your next review when you plan on getting out. What's it going to be about?

Fire Gazer- Ah you reviewed. That's okay, I know how the lazy thing goes (it happens a lot around here) Cole's cool and he didn't die a bad guy so don't worry.

That was a lot of reviews! Thanks guys. Alright, now for the story...

Paige sat in her room, thinking about all that had happened. It had been about a month since they had vanquished Cole and she had been in her room almost the entire time. She was still amazingly confused about her feelings for Cole. She knew now that it wasn't love; of that she was sure. But it was so hard to sort out. Of all of her sisters, Prue had been the most understanding.

Flashback

Prue and Paige sat on Paige's bed. Prue had her arm around Paige and shefelt safe and protected for the first time since the dreams had started.

"Do you have to leave?" Paige asked timidly.

"I do. I don't belong here anymore. You do," Prue said.

"I don't want you to go," Paige said, sounding somewhat like a child.

"I know. But you'll be okay," Prue said.

"I'm so confused. I don't know what I'm feeling," Paige told her.

"It's understandable. You've been through a lot; more than anyone should ever have to. Piper and Phoebe will be able to help you out though. I think Phoebe has expertise in the area of Cole," Prue said. Paige smiled.

"I guess. Thank you for all of your help. I couldn't have done this without you," she said.

"No problem, sis. By the way, I know you probably won't want anything to do with men for a while, but that Kyle guy likes you a lot and he's pretty cute," Prue said. Paige laughed.

"Yeah, he is. You've got Andy though, so hold your pants on," she joked.

"I do and I should be getting back to him," Prue said. Paige sighed.

"Tell Mom and Grams I said hi," Paige said.

"I will," Prue said. She kissed Paige's forehead. "You'll be okay," she whispered. With that, she disappeared in a cloud of golden lights. Paige flopped back on her bed, a feeling of loss in her stomach. She would miss Prue, greatly.

End of Flashback

As for Kyle, Paige hadn't talked to him since they had vanquished Cole. She figured he wouldn't want anything to do with her anyways. She liked him a lot. She knew he liked her too. They would be good for each other, both of them needing something to do now that Cole was gone. Paige scoffed at herself. 'That's real nice. The only reason you're interested in him is because you need something to do,' she scolded herself. She shook her head. She thought things would have been better by now. They weren't.

"Hey sweetie, how are you?" Piper asked, startling Paige.

"I'm okay. Some days are better than others," Paige replied.

"Well I can't help you with that, but I can bring you some tea," Piper said with a grin. She held up a steaming mug. Paige smiled and Piper went over to the bed and sat down.

"Thanks," Paige said, taking the tea. Just the aroma of it seemed to clear her senses. In the clearing was a single thought: Call Kyle.

"So what's up?" Piper asked. Paige sighed.

"Just thinking. Trying to sort things out. Your tea helped with some of it," she replied.

"That's good. What did it help with?" Piper asked.

"The part where I was trying to decide whether or not I should call Kyle," Paige said. Piper nodded.

"And what was your conclusion?"

"Call him."

"Are you sure your ready?"

"I think I am. All this time I've been wondering if I really loved Cole. I didn't. I was infatuated with him. I felt attached to him. It made me think I loved him, but I don't. As for Kyle, he's a good guy and I like him. I want to at least see him," Paige said. Piper nodded again and Paige was reminded of Prue. She had never gotten along with Piper as well as she would have liked to and that was partly her fault, but now she saw a side of Piper that she hadn't before. A side that showed understanding and care. She liked it.

"So what didn't the tea help with?" Piper asked.

"The part that makes me miss Prue," Paige replied. Piper grinned.

"Yeah, that one never seems to go away. It gets a little better each day though," Piper offered. Paige nodded this time, knowing what it was like to lose someone. She took a sip of her tea now that it was cool.

"Thanks," she said to Piper. Piper smiled.

"So you feel better?" she asked.

"A little. Less crazy, that's for sure. Your tea helped... and your talking too of course," Paige said. Piper chuckled.

"Don't worry, I know I'm not the best talker in the world, especially with you," Piper began.

"Piper, you really don't-" Paige started.

"No, I should. All this time I've known you and I've never really had a chance to apologize or explain myself. Or rather, I've never wanted to. You know how I hate admitting my own mistakes. I'd much rather point out everyone else's. But when you came here right after Prue died and everyone just expected me to- it was just so soon. I didn't even have time to really register the fact that she was gone and then I find out that I have another sister. I know it wasn't your fault, but you were the only one that was living that I could take it out on, so I did," Piper said. Paige was silent, in case she had more to say, but she seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.

"Listen Piper, I understand why you were cold. When my parents died, I hated everyone. I hated them for leaving me, I hated myself for not going with them, I hated God for taking them, I hated the devil for cursing them. I hated everyone I met because it was easier than not blaming anyone, because not blaming anyone meant that I had to face the pain. I know Piper, I know how it is. And that's why I understand," Paige said. Piper had tears in her eyes. Paige wrapped her arms around her and hugged her tightly.

"I love you Missy Paige," Piper said with a sniffle. Paige smiled.

"I love you too, Pipes," she said.

"Hey, what about me?" Phoebe asked in her baby voice from the doorway. Paige and Piper looked up.

"Aww, we love you too, Pheebs," Paige said. Phoebe ran over and jumped on the bed, hugging them both. They giggled and fell back on the bed. Paige yawned.

"Tired?" Phoebe asked. Paige nodded.

"Well we wouldn't want you falling asleep before you made a date with Kyle," Piper said.

"Oh, Kyle," Phoebe said, raising her eyebrow.

"Yeah, I want to call him," Paige said.

"Well we better get going then, Piper," Phoebe said. Piper nodded and they got up.

"Let us know how it goes," Piper said and they walked out. Paige stayed still for a moment before reaching over and grabbing the phone. She quickly dialed Kyle's number so that she wouldn't have any time to hang up. It rang a few times before he picked up.

"Hello?"

"Kyle, hey it's Paige."

"Oh, hey Paige," Kyle said, a little flatly.

"How are you?" Paige asked.

"I'm okay I guess," he replied.

"That's good," Paige said, trying to avoid an awkward silence.

"How are you?"

"Oh you know, I'm doing better."

"That's good." Then came the awkward silence. Paige sighed.

"Listen, I know you probably don't want anything to do with me, but we need to talk about... some things. Can we meet somewhere?" she asked. Kyle was silent for a while.

"How about tomorrow?" he asked.

"Good. I'll see you around lunch?" Paige asked.

"Yeah, I'll be over." he said.

"Cool, see you then. Bye."

"Bye." Paige put down the phone.

"That wasn't the least bit awkward," she said to herself. She then flopped back onto her bed and fell asleep.

Okay, I had to put those sentimental talks between Paige and Prue and Piper and Paige. It was necessary. I loved writing that. I promise for Paige/Kyle action next chapter. Till next time...
