A/N: It gets a little messy here.

Disclaimer: I don't own Cole(sobs hysterically), or Leo (sniffle) or Piper(what a shame), or Phoebe(I'll live), or Paige(HALLELUAH) So don't sue. I have NO money and you can't have my computer!

MINOR INSULTS

Piper answers the door and almost screams her hands automatically rise.

"Whoa! Calm down Piper! I just want to talk." Cole tries to calm her down.

"You 'just want' to get Phoebe back! Listen she's OVER you!" spat Piper.

"Wanna learn something? I'm not stupid. When I come after Phoebe it's not because I don't understand you I'm just ignoring you." He tells her.

Piper's hands go up.

"Don't bother, you know that doesn't work. Besides I meant just what I said I want to talk." He stats

"About what?" she asks suspiciously

"Could I come in? I need to talk to all of you." He tells her

"Wait here"

She closes the door. "PHOEBE! PAIGE!"

The Charmed Ones were debating on whether or not to let Cole in.

"NO! Of course not!" screams Paige.

"Well we don't know what he wants to talk about…" reasons Piper

"He's obviously trying to get me back!" says Phoebe.

"He made it clear he wasn't" says Piper wondering why he was here if not for Phoebe

"What?" says Phoebe surprise in her voice.

"And your going to take HIS word for it?" Paige asks incredulously.

"He might want to offer some information. Or he could want help in that case he might in return give us the information we need about the demon who stole the Book of Shadows." Leo tries to put in.

"For all we know HE'S the one behind all this!" says Phoebe over her initial shock of Cole not wanting her.

"Yeah that demon ex-husband of yours isn't someone I would expect to disappear for a week and not be up to something." Paige puts her two cents in.

"OK Calm down! Were going to let him in…" starts Piper

"Excuse me?" Paige interrupts

"…and see what he wants. Get some potions ready just in case. They won't vanquish him put they might help us escape if it's a trap. Leo's right without the Book Cole's the next best thing." Piper finishes.

"Fine, but if he comes on to me I'm throwing the potion. We don't need him that much." Says Phoebe bitterly.

"Fine. Leo takes the kids somewhere safe" says Piper.

"Alright" He orbs out with Wyatt and Chris.

"Great! First time we invite evil into the manor." Paige says sarcastically.

Cole's Point of View

Well he screwed up.

He could see it in the look in Piper's eyes. He really shouldn't have said that, but he was so sick of the Charmed Ones talking down to him.

Piper's hands go up. That's point-less, she knows she can't vanquish me.

"Don't bother, you know that doesn't work. Besides I meant just what I said I want to talk." he stats.

"About what?" she asks suspiciously.

Why are the always so suspicious? If he was going to attack them why would he ring the door bell?

"Could I come in? I need to talk to all of you." He tells her an impatient edge in his voice.

"Wait here" she's glaring at him.

The door slams in his face. He can hear Piper behind the door yell for her sisters. She sounds angry. He really screwed up.

He waited about twenty minutes. How long were they going to make him wait? If the don't want to talk the least they can do is tell him to his face not have him stand outside their door all night. He thought of shimmering in but once again thought better of it. He would wait a little longer then he would come back later, or not. He didn't really owe them anything, but he also didn't like seeing them get hurt.

The door opens, it's Piper.

"I thought you ditched me. So can I come in?" he asks coolly.

"You better not try anything." she tells him stepping out of his way.

"Like you'd let that happen." He says bitterly, "You think I don't know you'll be keeping a close eye on me?"

They walk to the living room; Paige and Phoebe were already seated and were glaring at him.

"Well since you obviously don't want me here…" Cole broke the silence before it got too uncomfortable.

"Gee. You think?" says Paige.

"I'll get right to the point" he continued like he hadn't heard Paige, "Where's the Book of Shadows?"

"What? Why would we tell you?" yells Paige.

"Was that your plan to steal the Book?" says Phoebe jumping up.

"Sit down. I'm trying to tell you the Book is in danger. I overheard some upper level demons mention it while…" Cole tried to get his point across.

"We'll you're a bit late Cole! The books already gone!" says Piper.

"I'm still not convinced he's not behind this!" says Paige glaring at Cole.

"He's probably just trying to get me back like always." says Phoebe.

"Oh yes because there's NO way I could ever be over you. Even if I were to realize you treat me like dirt" Cole says sarcastically. He was tired of her jumping to conclusions.

Over the week he spent killing off all threats to the Charmed Ones he realized she kind of used him. It wasn't fair that she could drift in and out of loving him and go and date other guys while he alone remained faithful.

"Don't make this about you Cole!" she screams outraged at the way he was talking to her. Paige and Piper were surprised at Cole's bitterness too.

"Yeah you don't want that do you? 'Cause then it wouldn't be all about you." He shot back.

Phoebe was taken aback by Cole's words. He'd never spoken to her that way before.

Coles POV

He was in BIG trouble now.

A/N: Ok how was that one? I bet Paige feels unloved. Don't worry I REALLY don't like Paige and her attitude problem and how she's so judgmental (and she wanted to be a social worker). And no, that is SO not as bad as the insults go, I don't even think it brushed the surface. Thanks for reading and please review!

P.S. My spell check says it's fine but it very rare that I don't make ANY mistakes while typing so forgive me if there's spelling or grammar errors. There probably aren't that many though. Just know I checked this story the best my computer can check.
