Phoebe made her way into the attic, and picked up the book of shadows. Noticing she had left it open to Cole's demon half page, she sat down in a chair.
She picked up the snapshots they had took as a couple. Cole and her laughing, him holding her and kissing her. A pang of pain filled her heart.
Phoebe : Oh Cole why ? Why did you do it ?
Tears fill her eyes slowly as her voice breaks. Suddenly she is filled with strong grief. It overwhelmes her, and she breaks down into soft sobs. In the middle of her breakdown, she fails to notice Prue's presence. Prue's heart breaks at the sight of her baby sister. She walks over to her, and takes her into her arms.
Prue : Shhhh... I know, I know.
She picks up her baby sister and carries her to her master bedroom. Covering her up, she turns out the lights and shuts the door. She lays next to her.
Prue then pulls Phoebe's head to her chest, and starts stroking her back. Her body trembles trying to contain her tears of unbearable pain,
Prue : It's okay, I'm here. Listen to me, sweetie...
Phoebe : Ok..ay...
Prue : Something I never taught you, was how to deal with emotional pain. When Piper was 17, she had a serious cutting issue. It got so bad, all the knifes and razors were hid from her. It took me a whole year, to help her stop. I fear Cole could cause you to do the same. I want you to know, it's okay to be sad and angry.
I have set a terrible example about crying. You were in love with Cole, and I refuse to let you go on like your okay. A little quiet sobbing isnt enough. Now I want you to be honest with me, and yourself. Why are you avoiding dealing with your pain ?
Phoebe : Because all my friends that think Cole is normal, say there's no reason to cry over him. That there are plenty other men out in the world.
Prue : Honey, he was your first real love. Not just a fling, you know that. Only me, Piper and Leo, know how much he meant to you. Your friends only know what you tell them. Words are not enough to judge others relationships. Now, I do believe Cole's human half loved you. It's just in the end, evil consumed him. Even though it's not your fault, you still found love. You thought he was yours, but he was ripped away, that's reason enough to be upset. Now, just relax and let youself cry and be angry. In my arms your safe from judgement and redicule. Let the darkness and my heartbeat be your sanctuary to feel.
The tears slowly roll down her face, as her body begins to shake with strong sobbing, then she lets out a sudden scream of anger from it all. Tears fill Prue's,
as she listens to her baby girl's sounds of a broken heart. Looking over at the clock, seeing it's 12 : 00 am. It doesnt matter though. All that matters tonight,
is Phoebe. About 2 hours later, Phoebe falls asleep. Prue cant sleep however, thinking about how she will fix what has happened. She has to no matter what.
