The Road Not Taken

Chapter 5

It was now almost 8 in the morning and Phoebe sat there in the hospital room where Cole was lying. She was sitting uncomfortable in the chair her eyes red and puffy from crying. Paige had stayed with the kids while Piper and Leo took Phoebe to the hospital. Him and Piper went home after finding out Cole was going to be okay.

Phoebe had stayed there the whole night. He occasionally woke up murmuring her name then going back to sleep. She was clutching his hand trying to keep herself awake. He should be waking up by now and the doctor said if he was showing good progress she could take him home.

Phoebe glanced up at the IV bags and then back to Cole. What was the purpose of this? What was this supposed to show her? Phoebe sighed and looked up.

"Can please someone help me?" asked Phoebe frustrated.

Phoebe jumped when she heard a familiar voice behind her. The Angel of Destiny walked beside her.

"Child what a mess you have made" said The Angel of Destiny shaking his head. "I thought you wanted to change things"

"I'm trying to but apparently my life is still a mess" said Phoebe glaring at The Angel of Destiny. "I mean I don't understand why I cheated on him and why I kept up those affairs"

"Hmm" said The Angel of Destiny. "Maybe I can show you"

"No" said Phoebe. "I need to stay here with him to change things"

"Don't worry time won't move" said The Angel of Destiny.

Phoebe contemplated this. She really didn't want to leave Cole but she had to find out how.

"Ok" said Phoebe letting go of Cole's hand and slowly standing up. Her body was aching for a massage.

"You will only be an observer" said the Angel of Destiny. "You will not be heard, nor seen. You will observe yourself before you took over"

Phoebe scrunched up her face in confusion.

"Just follow along" said the Angel of Destiny.

Phoebe huffed. "Ok"

And suddenly her view went white for a second and when her view became clear again she found herself in the penthouse. It was nighttime and she saw Cole on the couch watching television. She saw a nice romantic dinner for two on the glass table and he was all dressed up.

Phoebe smiled wondering what she was supposed to do. She was about to open her mouth to call Cole when the elevator bell sounded. Phoebe turned to see who was arriving. She was partly surprised when she saw herself walk in with a briefcase and a purse. Her face held a tight expression. Cole didn't move from the couch.

"Thank you for joining me" said Cole sarcastically.

Phoebe huffed while putting her things on the table but then she saw the dinner set up.

"Cole I'm so sorry" said Phoebe. "I totally fo…"

"Forgot?" asked Cole standing up. "Yeah you do that a lot these days"

Phoebe glared at him. "How else are we going to pay the bills? I'm not going to be a housewife Cole don't even ask that of me"

Cole nodded. "I know you told me before and I respect that"

He approached her and took her into his arms.

"I just want some us time" said Cole.

Phoebe smiled and kissed him passionately. Then she pulled him into the bedroom.

"Your wish is my command" she said shutting the door.

Phoebe looked at the Angel of Destiny.

"So we're happy right" said Phoebe. "I worked late"

"Well if you call sleeping with Miles work then I guess so" said The Angel.

Phoebe looked at him in disbelief.

"But why? Why would I cheat on Cole?"

"You got bored, no more excitement with him. He wasn't that great in bed you got disinterested"

"Sex has nothing to do with my love for him" said Phoebe angrily.

"Of course not that's why you get your satisfaction elsewhere" said The Angel snapping his fingers once again.

Phoebe found herself in her office and cried out when she said herself and Miles half naked on her couch. She looked at The Angel.

"I don't want to see this anymore" said Phoebe turning away.

"Well you'll have to" said The Angel turning her back around.

"Phoebe why do we have to keep sneaking around?" asked Miles. "I mean I want to be with you but not like this"

Miles pulled away from Phoebe and caressed her face.

"Because my husband won't give me a divorce" said Phoebe. "My family and his family look down on divorce you know. Plus isn't this more exciting…trying not to get caught"

She kissed Miles once again.

"This is really grossing me out" said Phoebe. She walked towards the office door and moved to open it but her hand went right through.

Phoebe walked through the door and gasped when she saw Cole approaching her office.

"Cole" said Phoebe. She couldn't let him see herself and Miles. She ran up and waved her hands in front of him. "Hey"

She gasped when she saw him walk through her. She turned around to see her secretary Joanna stop him.

"I'm sorry Mr. Turner but Phoebe asked not to be disturbed" she said. "She has an upcoming deadline"

Cole smiled. "We had a lunch date planned, we always have lunch every Monday"

Joanna shook her head. "I have specific instructions"

Cole sighed.

"I knew I liked that girl for some reason" said Phoebe smiling at The Angel of Destiny.

"Ah ah" said The Angel of Destiny. "Not so easy"

"Joanna!"

Phoebe turned around and saw Elise peeking out of her office.

"Yes" she said.

"Where's Phoebe?" she asked annoyed.

"Working on that deadline" said Joanna nervously.

"Well I need to discuss something with her" said Elise coming out of her office and walking towards Phoebe's office.

"Wait" said Joanna.

Cole watched curiously and followed Joanna who was following Elise.

"She doesn't want to be disturbed" said Joanna.

"Too bad" said Elise grabbing the doorknob and turning it.

"Phoebe open the door" said Elise.

"She doesn't usually lock her door" said Cole worriedly.

"Coming" said a voice from inside.

Phoebe watched as the door opened and she saw herself. Her hair was brushed down and newly applied lipstick was on. Joanna went back to her desk with a 'that was a close call' look on her face. Cole stood back as Elise walked into the office. Phoebe walked in also looking for Miles. She walked to the bathroom as Elise berated Phoebe. She walked through the door and saw him putting on his clothes in the small bathroom. Phoebe glared and walked back through the door. Elise walked past Cole and left. Phoebe stood next to The Angel of Destiny and watched.

"Phoebe what is going on with you?" asked Cole shutting the door.

Phoebe sighed and sat in her chair holding her temple.

"Nothing I'm just busy and tired" answered Phoebe.

"Today's Monday" said Cole. "I take you for lunch"

Phoebe shook her head. "Not today Cole"

Cole started to get upset.

"Phoebe is there something wrong with me?" asked Cole frustrated. "Because I don't feel our closeness anymore"

"No" said Phoebe getting up and walking over to him. "It's just that I don't want to lose my job. You heard Elise"

She kissed his lips softly and then pulled back.

"Give me a few minutes and I'll meet you at the car" said Phoebe.

"I can walk you…"

"No it's okay" said Phoebe. "Just go I'll be down soon"

"Alright" said Cole kissing her pink lips. "I'll be waiting"

Phoebe nodded and he left her office. She let out a deep breath and ran to the bathroom. She swung opened the door hurriedly.

"Hurry up and get out" rushed Phoebe.

"Ok ok" said Miles.

"I'll call you later" said Phoebe nodding.

"Phoebe…"

"Go" said Phoebe sharply.

She grabbed her hand and was about to open the door when it swung open.

Phoebe knew this was coming but covered her mouth none the less.

"Cole" said Phoebe.

"What is going on in here?" asked Cole gritting his teeth.

Miles just stood there staring at Cole afraid to move or even breathe.

"Cole I can explain" said Phoebe. "Miles was…"

She dropped her shoulders in defeat.

"Phoebe are you having an affair?" asked Cole looking at his wife.

Phoebe looked up at Cole hearing the hurt in his voice.

"I never wanted you to find out like this or at all" said Phoebe.

"I think I should go" said Miles walking towards the door.

Before he could leave Cole punched him in the face.

"Cole!" cried Phoebe as she watched Cole drag Miles by the shirt and slammed him against the wall.

"Dude I was going to break it off I swear!" cried Miles.

Phoebe ran to Cole and grabbed his arm.

"Stop it" said Phoebe pushing Cole away from Miles.

Cole looked at her in disbelief.

"How could you?" he asked.

Cole turned and walked away.

"Cole please" cried Phoebe running after him.

A few tears escaped from Phoebe's eyes.

"I can feel his pain" she said.

"We still have more to go through" said The Angel snapping his fingers and the scene changed in front of Phoebe once again.
