Meant for Eachother III

Chapter 9

"Where's Cole?" asked Piper as she fed Evelyn.

Leo looked up from the paper. "I helped him get ready an hour ago, he might be still upstairs, should I check?"

"Maybe I should" said Piper. "What happened to Paige?"

"The Elders are detaining her till they have a meeting" said Leo.

"What?!" cried Piper.

"They are considering giving Paige her life back" said Leo. "With all the circumstances, but it has to pass through The High Council"

"Is there any way we could help?" asked Piper.

Leo shook his head.

"I want to talk to Phoebe also" said Piper. "See what's wrong? She's messed up and now she feels so guilty"

"And we do not want two depressed people in the house" said Leo.

"Go talk to Cole" said Piper softly.

"Ok" said Leo.

"Tell him I'll bring Evelyn after her bath" said Piper.

Before Leo could get up Cole shimmered in the kitchen. Piper jumped.

"You scared me" said Piper.

Cole smirked. "I wanted to thank you for doing all this for me"

Piper smiled. "We're glad to after everything you have done for us"

Cole sighed and started to wheel himself out of the room.

"Aren't you hungry?" asked Piper.

"I'm feeling a little nauseous" said Cole.

"The doctor said you should eat and get your strength" said Leo.

"I'll eat in an hour" said Cole wheeling out.

Piper sighed and collected Cole's plate. Leo grabbed Evelyn.

Phoebe walked in through the back door.

"Hi" said Phoebe.

"I thought you went to work" said Leo.

Phoebe shook her head. "I went jogging in the park get my mind off of things..."

"Things like Cole?" asked Piper getting ready to wash dishes.

Phoebe shrugged. "That and other things, do you think I could talk to him? You know like maybe this time he won't threaten me with an energy ball?"

"I guess it won't hurt to try" said Leo. "But he might not be up to forgiving you just yet"

"I don't expect it" said Phoebe. "But I'm going to try"

She sighed and walked into the living room. It was empty. She could only hear the ticking of the grandfather clock. What a quiet day...She walked into the sunroom and watched him from the doorway.

He was leaning in his wheelchair, wearing jeans and a simple blue shirt staring outside. His eyes were almost sad and empty.

Phoebe couldn't tear away even though the voice in her head screamed at her to turn away.

She stepped in the room further.

"Cole" she said nervously.

He glanced at her then back at the window.

"Something you forgot to say that night?" he asked coldly.

Phoebe cleared her throat and sat on a chair next to him.

"That night I was being stupid" said Phoebe looking into her hands. "When you said you didn't want me I just went wild, I threw you out trying to hurt you in any way I can. Putting a love spell on you was wrong, I was wrong. I can't take you away from Paige I now know that and I wish I could take it all back because even though I did all those horrible things to you, you saved my life"

"But you can't take it back Phoebe" said Cole glaring at her with piercing eyes. "I can't walk because of you and now I don't know what to do anymore. I can't be a father in this thing. I can't be around you right now..."

"Cole please"

"No Phoebe no more" said Cole. "I'm done being your friend, your hero"

He shimmered away and Phoebe looked around. Then she buried her head in her hands and cried.

Later that day

Cole was in the living room watching tv. Leo was out getting a couple things for dinner, Phoebe was in her room, and Piper was in the kitchen making dinner. He sat there boredly with a glum expression on his face just thinking about stuff.

"Cole are you thirsty?" asked Piper from the kitchen.

"No" said Cole. Suddenly he heard Evelyn crying upstairs. He wheeled himself towards the stairs then shimmered upstairs.

He shimmered in his room where Evelyn was crying in her crib. He wheeled himself towards the crib but couldn't reach over the bar to get to her.

"I'm here baby" said Cole.

Evelyn kept crying. She wanted to be held. Piper ran in.

"Aww what's wrong?"

She picked up Evelyn and handed her to Cole.

"Thanks" said Cole not looking at her. Piper stepped back and watched as Evelyn calmed down but just a little. Cole tried rocking her but that didn't work and he knew what usually did work. Tears came to his eyes then.

"Piper can you take her?" asked Cole. "Dance with her a little she likes that"

Piper gently took Evelyn and did just that she quieted down. Cole smiled at Piper and shimmered down stairs. Tears fell from his dull blue eyes. He couldn't take the immobility anymore. He couldn't even freaking reach Evelyn over the bars. If he couldn't do that...Evelyn didn't need him if Paige came back then she could take care of Evelyn without worrying about him. No one would have to take care of him.

He wheeled himself to the kitchen and opened the basement door and looked at the steps. He tightened his hands on the wheels. He hated feeling helpless and he wasn't going to be.

Evelyn's Room

Piper put a sleeping Evelyn back in the crib when she heard a crash downstairs.

"COLE!"
