Chapter 11:
(end of flashback) After Prue had told Cole that she was pregnant, everything changed. Cole knew that they had taken things too far. He realized that he wasn't ready for this yet. Most of the time, he was at war with himself.
Both he and Prue had already planned to take the year off before finding jobs and going to college. Prue was not going to college, at least not a regular college. She was going to community college and taking night classes so she could be there for her sisters. Cole was going to go to college, he just wanted a year off to be with Prue. He hadn't been sure what he was going to do after Prue had told him the news.
Thinking back, Cole thought that they could have worked it out. If he hadn't been such a coward.
Cole was struggling. He was having trouble keeping Prue's pregnancy secret with his father. He knew that if his father found out, it would be the end. Cole would have to live down in the Underworld as a demon forever, killing witches and gaining power. It did not sound like fun. However, his father was almost impossible to lie to. So instead, he hadn't lied. He had run away.
Cole ran away that August. He left a note for Prue with money in it. He knew it wasn't much, but it was all he had. He was going to start over, and he would try to come back, if he could.
Life was very difficult at that time. He was being attacked by demons all the time, and his father's calls from the Underworld were becoming more and more urgent. It was impossible to keep up with the world while you had to fight off demons, hunger, poverty, and the police.
Cole knew that he had to change, so he started taking night classes at a college. It wasn't the school he was going to go to originally. He had pretty much given up the college dream, and was focusing on becoming a DA.
Which lead him to the present. Cole blinked as he came out of his reverie. He realized he had messed up, big time. He needed his daughter. He also wouldn't have minded having Prue back. He missed her, but he knew that never in a million years would she forgive him for running out on her. He was just like her father who had run out on her shortly after Paige was born.
Cole knew he had to fix this before it was too late. He needed a plan. So he decided to see if there was a way he could convince Jessica to come live with him. He knew that by now, Jessica was probably more or less untouchable. But he thought that, with the right words and the right actions, he might win. But he would have to use Cayla for a major chunk of it. He continued to ponder his situation.
