The Lost Ones

Chapter One: Looking in

Cole's POV

We were friends we did everything together. I could say I didn't know what happened, but I do people say it shouldn't have happened to us , we were meant to be more, more than friends we were family. I know I should have known better I was after all the eldest I was meant to protect them but I didn't. They used to look and act like I don't know what it's like to have people that you love and would do anything for, it was most annoying with Prue she acted like I don't know, I knew more than she would ever know but no one listened to me I mean who am I? I've only been alive for hundred or so years, seen and done more than one person could imagine.

I think a part of me knew it would never work out between me and Phoebe, I knew what it was like, with families if one doesn't like you they all don't like you. No matter what, it was like with my own family God do I remember looking back on it I feel sorry for anyone who fell for my baby sister. None of them were good enough for her. And now as people say the shoe is on other foot and I was the one that wasn't good enough. I don't know maybe I wasn't? But god being stuck here in limbo and seeing every loser she now is dating makes want to hurl, none of them are good enough for her, but they don't care as long as he's mortal then he's good. Yeah right, like human beings are perfect and not prone to do evil things. But God help me every time I think about that I want to yell at them for being so naive and stupid. I don't know why I do it to myself coming here and watching them. As my own siblings would have said "one word for you brother masochist" I shake my head to clear myself of these thoughts maybe they were right. Well either way staying and watching my former sisters-in-law with my ex-wife playing happy family makes me reconsider what my own family said about me. Without looking back at the womanthat was, is and will forever be the center of all my thoughts I return to the abyss that is now my home.
