RETURN OF LOVE

Chapter 5 – The world of lies

"Look, I know that it was all just an act, but you two really do make a nice couple..." Maxim and Cole were talking on the main deck. Kimberly was at the watchtower and Phoebe was on 'a meeting' in the office of her ship.

"I know. I want Phoebe to be my girfriend more than anything in the whole world, but I think she doesn't feel the same thing that I do." Cole looked at the see with his sea-collored eyes. "I feel so bad for what I did to her in the past. I left her alone and helpless just because I was stubborn. And even if she sais that she forgave me, I don't think so. One part of her heart will always be broken, and it's all my fault."

"No, it's not like that, really. Phoebe tells me everything, I'm her diary." Maxim decided to tell Cole something in hope that Cole and Phoebe become a couple again "When you were shot, she cried and she couldn't even stand on her legs from all the pain she felt, but when I asked her if she loves you, she said that she does, Cole."

"Oh, she prooved to me that she does a couple of days ago, when you and Kimberly became a couple." Cole smiled "But she also told me that she doesn't believe in second chances and stuff."

"I have to put you two together somehow." Maxim closed his eyes and he tried to find a way, but it seemed impossible "Look, I'll just try to convince her to believe in what she feels. Her meeting ends in... 5 minutes. You go in your cabin, and I'll send her there after we talk."

Cole left and Maxim stood up and went to watchtower just to say "hello" to Kimberly. Phoebe went out of the office and she sat on the end of the main deck and looked at the sea. She sat there for like five minutes, but than she stood up...

Meanwhile, Cole lay in his cabin. He thought about Phoebe and as he heard the door open, he grabbed her and kissed her. He knew that Phoebe felt the same thing for him, so he lay with her on the bed. But when he opened his eyes to just look at her, his heart froze. He was kissing his ex girlfriend, Clara.(A/N: Clara works on Phoebe's ship) She just smiled at him and said "I knew that you missed me, but I had no hell idea how much..."

"No, this is a mistake, I was expecting someone else..." Cole said panicly

"That stupid girlfriend of yours? Well, she's acting like a baby, all she does is cry." Clara spoke calmly and slowly.

"She cried because I was dying, Clara. Now if you please..." Cole tried to say something, but Clara kissed him again. In that moment, the door of his cabin opened for the second time. Phoebe's face froze when she saw Cole kissing one of her crew members. Cole just whispered "Phoebe", but she mumbled "Sorry if I interupted anything. I'll just... I'll be back later" and she closed the door. She ran to her cabin with tears rolling down her face. In the same time, Maxim was heading to her cabin to talk to her and when he saw her crying, he stopped her and asked "Phoebe, what is it?"

"Why me, Max?!?" Phoebe yelled painfully "Why do I always get hurt?!? Why?!?"

"Shhh... Let's go to your cabin, so we can talk in peace, okay?" Maxim and Phoebe went to her cabin. Phoebe was crying and the pain was eating her from inside. Maxim placed her on the chair and asked her "Phoebe, can you please tell me what's happening?"

"Everything's happening!!! Everything is happening, but always to me!!!" Phoebe screamed

"I don't get it, Phoebe..."

"This is the second time!!! I'm going through the same shit that I've been through already!!! Why, Max? Why do I trust in few silly words and big, goo-goo eyes?!?" Phoebe yelled, but she stopped when they heard knocking on the door of Phoebe's cabin. Cole opened them and as he saw her crying, he felt like he betrayed Phoebe once again. But, he had to explain what happened in his cabin, so he looked at Maxim and asked "May I come in?"

"No, because the person that I least wanna see right now is you!!!" Phoebe yelled at him

"Phoebe, you don't understand, she kissed me..." Cole tried to say something and Maxim looked at both of them, not realising what's going on.

"No, Cole!!! This time there are no cheap excuses!!! This time it's definatly over!" Phoebe screamed.

"Phoebe, this time it'll be different. I won't be proud and stubborn like I've been before. Look, I'll bound on my knees if you want me to, but please, forgive me." Cole looked at Phoebe desperatly.

"Not this time. I trusted you once before, Cole, but not anymore!!!"

"OKAY, WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Maxim yelled, trying to calm Phoebe down,

"Yes, I'll tell you what's going on here!!!" Phoebe yelled, still looking at Cole "I just saw this barstard kissing some bitch in his cabin, that's what's going on!!!" Maxim looked at Cole confused and Cole just said "I didn't kiss her, she kissed me. We ended up on the bed because I thought she was you." Cole came closer to Phoebe, but she slowly moved backwards.

"Stay away from me, Cole!" she yelled.

"Phoebe, you don't trust me and that hurts me a lot." Cole said. He hugged her, but Phoebe yelled "Let me go!!!", so he let her.

"Phoebe, how should I proove to you that I'm telling the truth? Just say it – and I'll proove it to you!" Cole looked at her. Phoebe came closer to kim and kissed him. He hugged her and the tears rolled down Phoebe's cheeks. She stopped kissing him and she mooved backwards.

"That was our last kiss, Cole." She whispered painfully "I don't want to see you ever again" and she turned around, because she didn't want him too see her crying.

"Phoebe, please, don't do this to me..." Cole whispered and tears appeared in his eyes.

"I really didn't wanted our relationship to end up like this, Cole" Phoebe whispered and she left her cabin.

Cole sat on the chair where Phoebe sat five minutes ago and a tear rolled down his fase. "Why do we always end up like this?" Cole whispered looking at Maxim.

"Look, Cole, ever since you and Phoebe met for the second time, she is afraid that you're gonna hurt her again and I can't even imagon how she feels now." Maxim tried to explain it to Cole, but he just yelled "It's not my fault!!!" and left the cabin. He went to the main deck and he saw Phoebe crying there. He grasped her hand and yelled "It's not my fault, Phoebe!!!". She just looked at him an ran away. Cole ran after her and when he caught her, he hugged her and didn't let her go. "You can give up on me, Phoebe, but I'm not giving up on you." He whispered in her ear. She turned around and met his beautifull eyes. He kisssed her and she kissed him back. They kept kissing for long time. When they stopped, half of the crew was looking at them, most of them seemed like they don't believe in what they see.

"What is this, a show?" Phoebe looked at them "Back to work, now!" she yelled, so the crew went back to work.

"Phoebe, I would die without you" Cole whispered

"I would die without you, too, but this is not over yet." Phoebe whispered back to him.

Cole hugged her and whispered "What is not over yet?"

"I kissed you now because I love you, not because I trust you, Cole" Phoebe said and she looked around.

"You have to trust me, Phoebe." Cole grasped her hand and put it on his heart. "I swear in my life, I swear in this heart that I'm telling the truth."

"I hope so, Cole, but I'm not so sure..." Phoebe turned around and left him to stand there alone...
