ColePhoebe4eva – Thnx 4 all the compliments. I try 2 keep Phoebe's personality on track and I hope I did it in this chappie as well, though I'm not so sure. I loved it when u wrote "maybe if she nearly loses him or he nearly loses her". It sounded so romantic and it gave me an idea 4 one of the future chappies. Plz review this chappie as well when u read it. Thnx in advance:)
sehar – Hey, I love it when u review my fics. I know it has been awhile, but I just had 2 study which made me angry, I couldn't upd8. Well, I think that this was quite fast. Do u agree? Plz review when u read. U'll make my day. Blessed be!
meeeee – I'm glad u knew what I meant about what Phoebe was wearing. I mean, I wouldn't even know how 2 describe it on my first language, so it was a disaster on English. And I don't really know how many chapters I'm planning on doing. It's partly because I just have the basic line about the fic, everything that happens in later chappies just comes 2 me, and partly because I've never finished any fic before. When I get near the end, I get stuck and don't know where to go with it. Plz review this chappie and feel free 2 guess what will happen in the next 1 based on everything I wrote in the announcement. Blessed be!

As for those bad things, here's my point: I really wanted 4 David 2 say 'beautiful'. U'll see why he said it in chappie 7. And for that incredibly stupid sentence I wrote…well… I have no excuse, it's just horrible and when I read my chappie on the site, I was shocked, it sounded so stupid, but oh well. I'll try not 2 repeat it ever again. I hope u like this chappie. Feel free 2 tell me what was dumb in this 1 and I'll try 2 change it. Review, plz! Blessed be. Love from Pheebs…
Andrea – I hope that this upd8 was fast enough 4 u. I tried really hard. It's not the best chappie, but it's nice and I truly hope u like it. Feel free 2 guess what's gonna happen in the next chappie when u read my announcement. And plz review! Blessed be. :D

Chapter 5 – The night at his apartment
'Eleven year old Cole was standing at the dungeon and looking at the man in front of him. He was tall and you couldn't see his face from his hood. He waited in silence for this man to speak "When you grow up, Belthazor, you're gonna be my right hand." the man spoke. "Your mother already taught you many things, I saw how you fought my guards today. You inherited your mother's powers. Now all you have to do is to close up your human side and clean your soul from the negative effect of your father's goodness."
Cole felt that everything this man said was wrong, but he nodded. "I'll do that." he said.
"You better do that." the man said evilly. "And if you ever dare to betray me…" he paused for a second which he used to summon some lower level demon who stumbled and fell on the cold dungeon floor. "You'll end up like him." he man finished and a great ball of fire formed in his hand. He threw it at the demon on the floor who screamed in pain and exploded…'
Cole sat up in the bed covered in sweat. He ran his arm through his dark hair and sighed. "Not again." he whispered and got up from the bed. He had these dreams ever since he escaped from the Source's dungeons. He knew that it was the Source's way of reminding him of what's about to happen to him when he tracks him down. And he also knew that if he uses his powers only once, the Source will find him immediately.
He got up from the bed and went to the kitchen. He poured himself a glass of water and drank it. By than, his head was working normally again and he thought of Phoebe. "I need to hear your voice, Phoebe." he whispered as he reached for his cell phone. He lay back in bed and thought if he should call her or not. He glanced at his watch and saw that it's 3:35 A.M. "I'll call her" he thought "The chances of her being asleep are… well, none."
He dialed her cell phone number and waited anxiously as it rang. Than he heard a "Hello?" and he couldn't help but smile as he heard Phoebe's voice.
"Hi, Pheebs." he said simply. He knew that she didn't have his number and decided not to tell her who he was.
"Who's that?" Phoebe asked.
"Take a guess." Cole replied. "Let me give you a clue: the guy you think about all the time and the guy you dreamed just before your cell rang and woke you up." He was just babbling. He knew it wasn't true what he said, but he had to tease her.
Phoebe realized who it is and smirked. "Well, if you're gonna play with me, I'm gonna play with you too, Cole." she thought. "Will?" she asked and pretended to be happy. "Yeah, I had the most beautiful dream about you before you woke me up."
Cole closed his eyes and smiled. "You're lying, Phoebe." he said. "You know who it is, don't you?"
"What do you want, Cole?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, the plan was to call you just to hear your voice, but now I have a better idea." Cole said. "Why don't you come over to my place?"
Phoebe felt like her head and her heart were having a huge fight inside of her body. Her heart wanted to scream 'Of course!' but her head wanted to say… "Are you out of your mind?"
"Why?" Cole asked.
"Cole, it's three thirty in the morning." Phoebe replied silkily.
"I'll pick you up with my car." Cole said.
Phoebe smiled at his persistence. "I didn't know you can drive."
"Well, I can. I drive a Corvette." Cole said in attempt to impress her. "Please, say that you'll come." he said.
"No, I won't." Phoebe said. "Come on, what would the two of us be doing in the middle of the night alone in empty apartment?"
Cole grinned. "Whatever you want." he replied.
Phoebe knew how much Cole loved her, but she didn't wanna do what he wanted to do. "Cole, I'm not that kind of girl. If you want to have sex with someone, call Jessica. I'm sure she'll be thrilled."
"Phoebe, I just wanna see you. I need to see you." Cole said desperately. "I can't sleep. I keep thinking about you."
Phoebe smiled gently. He really loved her and she liked that. "Well, do you want me to sing a lullaby to you?" she teased.
Cole sighed. "I just want you to come." he said honestly. "We can watch a movie or somethin'. And there's no school tomorrow, it's Saturday. You'll sleep when you get back home."
"You have a point, but…"
"Yeah, I have a point." Cole cut her off. "So please come."
"Fine." Phoebe gave up.
"Oh, thank God!" Cole yelled. "I'll pick you up in thirty minutes, okay?"
"Okay." Phoebe replied. "Bye."
"Phoebe!" Cole called out before she hung up. "I love you."
"Bye, Cole." Phoebe said and hung up. When she did, she smiled at her phone. "I love you too." she said. Than she got up to get ready…
In 25 minutes, she was satisfied with her looks. She looked at her mirror reflection and sighed. "God, Phoebe, what in the world are you getting yourself into?" she whispered. She grabbed her keys and sneaked out of the Manor.
She saw a Corvette driving in her direction five minutes later. "You're very puntual, Cole." Phoebe concluded as she got inside of the car.
"I'm usually not." Cole replied with the grin.
"What's the grin about?" Phoebe asked in fake curiosity.
"I can't believe you accepted to come over to my place in the middle of the night." Cole replied.
"Well, I did it to get you off my back." Phoebe replied. "And don't get use to it."
"Don't worry." Cole replied. "I won't."
"Where do you live, anyway?" Phoebe asked as he drove by Kimberly's house.
"You'll see." Cole replied. He stopped at the semaphore and used the opportunity to take a look at Phoebe. He noticed that she was dressed in tight jeans and veeeery short top. "You know, you look amazing." he said.
Phoebe pointed at the semaphore. "Green light." she said and Cole continued driving. "You should pay more attention on the road and less on my breasts." she concluded.
"What can I do?" Cole asked. "There's nothing interesting on the road. However…" he started.
"Don't you dare to say it." Phoebe cut him off. "Damn, you're such a pervert."
"It's because you tease me, honey." Cole replied.
"I…" Phoebe started in offended tone, but Cole stopped the car. "We're here." he said.
As they got out of the car, they headed towards his apartment in silence. Cole summoned the elevator and took a glance at Phoebe.
"Look at me like that again and I'll kill you." Phoebe said.
Cole looked into her eyes and smiled. He bent down and placed a light kiss on her lips.
"What was that all about?" Phoebe asked.
"I wanted to do that ever since you got into my car and it's better to do it now than in my apartment, cuz you'll immediately say that I'm tryin' to get you into my bed."
"Well, aren't you?" Phoebe asked.
"What would you do if I say yes?" Cole asked and Phoebe raised her eyebrows. "Oh, c'mon, I'm kiddin'!" he said. "I love you too damn much to just have sex with you and than drive you home. I want you to fall for me first."
Just than, the elevator door opened. Cole saw Phoebe's face get pale. "What?" he asked
"I'm claustrophobic." Phoebe said quickly. "And I'm so not getting into this elevator."
"Phoebe, I live on 10th floor. C'mon in." he said and she hesitated. "I promise nothing will happen to you, okay?"
Phoebe slowly walked into the elevator. As the door closed, she grabbed Cole hand. The elevator started to move and Phoebe got all shaky. At one moment, she hugged Cole tightly and buried her head into his chest.
Cole wrapped his arms around her and stroked her hair. There was a 'ding' and the elevator door opened. "We're here." Cole said and led Phoebe out of the elevator. He unlocked the door of his apartment and they walked in. "Do you want me to get you a glass of water?" he asked. "You're pale."
"I just want to sit down." Phoebe replied and sat on the couch. Cole sat next to her and looked at her worriedly. "I'm alright." Phoebe said. "It's how the elevators affect me."
Cole smirked. "Yeah. The elevators must affect you pretty much if you fell that low to hug me and hold my hand while we were in one."
Phoebe rolled her eyes. Than she gazed around the apartment. "This is only yours?" she asked.
"Yeah." Cole replied. "My dad left it for me after her died. Well, this and enormous bank account." he said.
"That explains the Corvette." Phoebe said and Cole nodded. "This is a very nice apartment, ya know. And big. And… neat." she finished with curious look on her face. She couldn't imagine any guy's apartment so neat.
"Maid." Cole explained. "I'm not very neat type of guy, if that's what you're wondering."
"That's exactly what I'm wondering." Phoebe said.
In that moment, Cole's cell phone rang. Phoebe raised her eyebrows. "Who's calling you at four in the morning?" she asked. Cole shook his head and grabbed his cell. He just rolled his eyes. "Who is it?" Phoebe asked.
"You know, you're way too curious for your own good." Cole replied and answered the phone with "What?"
"Hi, honey" he heard seductive voice from the other side of the line.
"Jessica, do you have any idea what time it is?" he asked and Phoebe felt like her blood began to boil when she realized who it is. She was getting terribly jealous.
"Oh, I'm sorry if I woke you up, but I couldn't sleep, so I'm coming at your place. We can have some fun together. Deal?"
"Jess, I'm not in the mood. I just wanna sleep." Cole said and Phoebe raised her eyebrows.
"Fine." Jessica said in offended tone and hung up.
Cole put his cell aside and looked at Phoebe. "See?" he asked. "You got nothing to be jealous about. I just stood her out with very nice offer because of you."
Phoebe looked at Cole angrily. "Who ever told you I was jealous?" she snapped.
"I can see it. Every time I talk about her, you get angry, like now." Cole said and put his head under her chin. "I just don't understand why. You know how much I love you." he said.
Phoebe stood up from the couch and walked towards Cole's bar. "Can I pour myself a drink?" she asked and Cole walked over to her. She reached out for Vodka, but Cole grabbed her hand. She looked at him and he pressed his lips hard against hers. As they kissed, they moved backwards and Phoebe hit the wall with her back. Cole placed his hands at her hips and did his best to control the passion that was building up inside of him. She was just an innocent girl and didn't deserve to be taken to bed by someone who would later have to tell her that he's a demon and to explain to her that magic exists. As Cole thought of that, he made the great effort to stop kissing Phoebe. When they broke apart, Phoebe reached out and kissed him again. Because of the way that she affected on him, he couldn't break apart once more, so he gave in and responded to her kiss with all his passion. After awhile, Phoebe's common sense got back to her and she stopped kissing Cole. She looked at him. "Why did you kiss me, Cole?" she asked.
"I'm sorry, but as much as I recall, you kissed me." Cole replied.
"I mean, when I tried to take the Vodka." Phoebe explained quickly.
"I didn't want you to get drunk." Cole said. "I know how you react when Jessica's name is mentioned. I saw that at the dance."
"So, you kissed me to stop me from getting drunk?" Phoebe asked. "Oh, please. You could do that in so many other ways."
"I wanted to show you how much I love you." Cole confessed. "That was the best way to prevent you from getting drunk."
"Cole…" Phoebe started. She wanted to tell him just how much she loves him and how much she needs him, but she wasn't brave enough. For the first time in her life, she didn't have the guts to tell a guy what she thought and felt about him in his face. She sighed. "Never mind."
"No, tell me." Cole insisted.
"Never mind." Phoebe repeated.
"Please." Cole said and grabbed her hand.
Phoebe closed her eyes as she placed a light kiss on his lips. "God, it's so hard to live with this." she whispered.
"Live with what?" Cole asked.
"Don't listen to me, I'm just babbling." Phoebe said.
"C'mon Phoebe, what were you about to tell me?" Cole asked.
"Who's curious now?" Phoebe asked and Cole just smiled.
"I just want you to tell me."
"What do you want me to tell you?" Phoebe asked.
"I want you to tell me how you feel about me." Cole said honestly. "Tell me if you feel somethin' for me. Anything. Attraction, Love, Hate, Passion… Anything."
Phoebe smiled. "I don't wanna talk about my feelings." she said simply.
"You don't have to put up that shield in front of me. I'm not gonna go and tell everyone that you have feelings for me. I'm not that kind of guy."
Phoebe studied Cole closely. "First you tell me how you really feel about me." she said.
Cole sighed and sat on the couch. "Come here." he said and Phoebe sat in his lap. "No, turn completely towards me." he said and Phoebe did so. "Look… I love you. When I came into this school and when I first saw you, I fell head over heals for you. It's amazing, cuz I never thought it would happen to me. I'm not romantic or emotional and I couldn't believe that you made me feel all that, but you did."
Phoebe smiled. She loved hearing him say that he loves her.
"Your turn." Cole said.
"Cole…" Phoebe started. "I just can't do this." she said and she wanted to get up, but Cole pulled her back into his lap. She found herself face-to-face with him once again. "I can't, Cole."
"Okay, if you don't wanna talk about your feelings, just tell me if you love me or not." Cole suggested.
Phoebe started into his blue eyes and wanted to say no, but she couldn't. She couldn't lie to him. She couldn't tell him the truth, either. She looked aside and gathered all her strength to lie to him. "No, I don't." she quickly said.
Cole put his hand under her jaw and forced her to look at his eyes. "Repeat that." he said a little angrily. He hated when she said that she doesn't love him. "Now, Phoebe."
Phoebe felt vulnerable while looking in his eyes. She didn't know what to say. "I don't love you." she whispered so quietly that she could barely hear herself.
"I didn't hear you." Cole said. "C'mon, tell me."
"I love you, damnit!" Phoebe yelled and jumped from his lap to her feet. She couldn't believe she let herself say that. She almost ran to get her jacket and left Cole's apartment. She quickly began to run down she stairs.
It took her three minutes to reach the building exit. When she did, she leaned onto a wall of the building and sighed heavily. "God, how could I be so stupid?" she yelled.
Than she saw the group of boys passing nearby and checking her out. She stuck out her middle finger and they laughed. Than they walked up to her. "Hi, babe." one of them said as he approached her. He grabbed her butt and she slapped him over the face. "Hey, don't get so mad." he raised his arms in fake apology. "I didn't mean it. Ya wanna have a ride with us?" he asked and pointed at the motorbikes that were parked nearby. "Come on, we won't eat ya."
"Screw you." Phoebe said and turned to walk inside of the building, but the guy grabbed her arm.
"Fuck her right here, Johnny!" one of the guys yelled and the others laughed.
"Maybe I will." Johnny replied and grabbed Phoebe's breasts. It took her about two seconds two react and kick him. He let out a painful moan and Phoebe ran into the building. Now her claustrophobia was the least of her worries. She summoned the elevator and it came almost immediately. She ran into it without looking and bumped into somebody. She looked at the person with tearful eyes and saw Cole. "Cole…" she started with shaky voice.
"Phoebe, what's the matter?" Cole asked as he pressed the button '10' on the elevator and it started to move. "What happened?"
"There were some guys outside the building. They teased me and than one of them wanted to rape me and…" Phoebe cried. She buried her head in his chest.
Cole felt like the worst person in the world. The love of his life was scared to death while he was sitting and thinking about what she had said to him. "Did they do anything to you?"
Phoebe shook her head. "They didn't have time to." she said. "I kicked one of them. But I got so damn scared. I thought they'll…"
Cole held her in his arms. "Shhhh…" he hushed her. "You're safe now. I'm taking you to my apartment and later I'll drive you home, okay?"
"Can I sleep over at your place?" Phoebe asked. "I just… I'm afraid they'll wait for me back there?" she looked at Cole with pleading eyes and he smiled.
"Of course." he replied.
"Thank you." Phoebe said. They heard a ding and got back into Cole's apartment. Phoebe leaned onto a wall and sighed heavily.
Cole sat on the sofa. He looked at the girl that was standing a few meters away from him and that's when it hit him: that same girl that is standing there told him that she loves him like ten minutes ago. He smiled as he got up from the sofa and walked up to her. "Go to my bed." he said. "Go and try to have some sleep."
"What about you?" Phoebe asked him without making an eye contact cause it hit her as well as him that she confessed her love to him ten minutes ago.
"I'll sleep at the sofa." Cole said and smiled. "Don't worry. It wouldn't be my first time."
"Why don't you sleep next to me?" Phoebe offered.
"Because we can barely look at each other now. Can you imagine what kind of tension that room would be filled with if we would be lying in the same bed?" Cole asked honestly.
"Yeah. You're right. Good night, Cole." Phoebe said and walked over to his room.
"I love you." Cole said and Phoebe almost fainted when she heard those three words.
"Don't repeat that while I'm around, Cole." Phoebe said. "Please."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
A happy little chappie 4 Phoebe&Cole lovers. U better read it twice and enjoy it while u can. I don't think the next chappie will be so happy. But, don't eat yourself up. It won't be that bad.
In the next chap: One confession provokes much anger. But how about several confessions? What will one broken heart do that will break the other one as well? Is one mistake going to end a friendship that lasted for ten years? Don't miss it. Only on
