Lost and Confused 2

A/N: I'm liking the attention this is receiving and I got new reviewers so I'm very happy and I will try my best to keep you happy...

"Oh my God" Phoebe kept whispering as she collected her clothes and put them on.

She had slept with him. She looked at him sprawled across the bed no sign of awaking. She had to get home to her sisters. They were probably worried sick.

"Phoebe" called Cole softly as he woke up.

Phoebe stopped at the bedroom door and cringed.

"Leave me alone and don't call me. I don't love you and everything last night was a mistake. Everything the past two years was a mistake" she said before running out of that penthouse leaving Cole in a daze.

Manor

Phoebe's head was pounding by the time she got to the manor. It had to be almost noon and she was keeping the vomit down. First thing she heard when she entered the manor

"Phoebe!"

She rolled her eyes she didn't need her sisters yelling at her like she was a 12 year old.

"Phoebe Halliwell where have you been?" asked Piper walking up to her. She stopped and examined her distraught her sister. Phoebe's hair was a tangled mess, her makeup was running and her clothes were all wrinkled. "Are you okay?"

Piper led her sister into the living room.

"Paige get Phoebe some water!" called Piper.

"I'm okay" said Phoebe sitting down on the couch.

"Well what happened?" asked Piper. "Where have you been? Was it a demon?"

"You can say that" said Phoebe getting emotional. She regretted last night so much.

Paige walked in with a glass of water.

"Phoebe!" cried Paige. "What happened?"

Phoebe took the water and drank some.

"Paige bathroom" said Phoebe holding her mouth.

Paige orbed her upstairs. Phoebe threw up in the toilet as Paige cringed.

"So she got drunk last night" said Piper as she walked to the bathroom.

"And I slept with someone" said Phoebe. "Got the hell out of there"

"Oh do you remember who it was?" asked Piper.

"No" lied Phoebe not making eye contact with her sisters.

"Well let me make my little sober concoction" said Paige. "You take a shower"

Phoebe nodded as Piper watched her curiously.

"Phoebe you weren't raped, were you?" asked Piper.

"No, no" laughed Phoebe. "I'm still in a drunken daze"

"Ok" said Piper. "Need help with the shower?"

"No" said Phoebe.

Piper shut the door leaving Phoebe alone to think.

Bay Mirror-3 Days Later

Phoebe typed endlessly on her laptop. She wanted to get home and relax so she was in a rush to get these last few letters done.

Her thoughts were clouded about Cole, though. She hadn't seen or heard from him since that night.

Let it go Phoebe, she thought. Maybe he took a hint...Or maybe he's planning something evil

Phoebe shook her head and gave up on trying to finish. She'll finish at home. Phoebe packed her things and walked out of the office.

"Phoebe!" called her boss.

Phoebe rolled her eyes before turning around and was met by a handsome man with blue-green eyes.

"This is Phoebe our advice columnist" said Elise. "Phoebe this is the new owner of The Bay Mirror, Jason Dean"

"Oh hi" said Phoebe nervously.

Jason seemed intrigued with her as well.

"I've heard a lot about you" said Jason.

"Oh well you know" said Phoebe. "From who?"

"Elise here" said Jason. "She seems very pleased with your work"

Phoebe laughed and Elise looked at her.

"Ok well I still need to show Jason around" said Elise. "Where are you going?"

"Home I can't concentrate here" said Phoebe.

"Hope you're feeling okay" said Jason.

"She's feeling fine" said Elise. "Aren't you, Halliwell?"

"Yeah" said Phoebe.

"Well Phoebe Halliwell I hope to work with you more closely" said Jason smiling at her.

Phoebe blushed. "Well I hope to see you around more"

Elise dragged Jason away before Phoebe smacked herself in the forehead and groaned.

Manor

"It's complete!" cried Paige from the attic. She held up the red glowing vial.

Piper walked into the attic. "What are you yelling about?"

"I completed this potion that will vanquish Cole" said Paige. "That means no regrouping at the wasteland this will totally destroy his soul also"

"Ah Paige isn't that like killing a human" said Piper taking the vial.

"Well come on Piper the sooner we kill the bastard the sooner we get our Phoebe back" said Paige.

Piper sighed. "I do want him off the face of the earth but I'm not killing his soul for it. We'll use the regular potion and make a blocking spell so he can't come back. That way the beast can finish him off and we don't have to do it first hand"

Paige rolled her eyes as Piper handed her the vial.

Penthouse

Phoebe entered the penthouse after reciting a spell. She had to see what Cole was up to. Obviously going by herself was stupid but she didn't want her sisters with her. She felt a gentle breeze as she explored the penthouse. It was so tidy and clean no sign of anyone living there.

"Cole!" called Phoebe. Maybe he was still at work. She walked into his bedroom flashes of that night going through her head. What he said to her. "It was all a lie"

The bed sheets were stripped off.

"Maybe he's doing laundry" said Phoebe to herself. She opened his closet and gasped.

No clothes, no shoes, the closet was bare. She walked to the drawers and began pulling the open. She turned back to the bed and saw the divorce papers sitting there.

Obviously he was counting on her return. She looked through them. They were signed tears began to build.

"Excuse me" said a man behind her.

"Cole" said Phoebe turning around.

It wasn't Cole.

"Sorry" said Phoebe.

"Oh Cole Turner moved out yesterday morning" said the man. "I'm the landlord"

"Do you know where he went?" asked Phoebe. "Did he leave a number?"

The man shook his head.

"Thank you" said Phoebe slowly. She walked past him and out to the hallway. She got out her cell phone and pressed 4.

I'm sorry but this number has been disconnected

Phoebe flipped her phone shut and walked away slowly.

Manor

"Piper!" called Paige.

Piper ran up to the attic.

"Damn it Paige shut up!" said Piper. "My husband and I will like some private time"

"This is important" said Paige. "I can't scry for Cole"

She was holding the letter opener with the crystal attached. It kept circling the map.

"Maybe he's in The Underworld" said Piper.

"No it would at least shake or something but it keeps circling" said Paige. "It's like he dropped off the face of the earth"

A/N: What happened to Cole? How will Phoebe deal? Will they ever get back together or is there no hope? All those questions and more will be answered...
