Monday Evening at the Arms

[sensethevisions]

After classes, Phoebe dragged herself to town to the hotel. She was worn out and emotionally drained. She managed to get to her room and she kicked the door shut behind her, but there was a good chance it didn't shut and lock.

She dropped her books and bag on the table and took out her laptop and as it powered up, she got a very quick shower, hoping to ease the ache in her neck. Once out of the shower, she changed inbto something comfortable and settled against the pillows on the bed with her laptop.

She was writing a new story about a girl who was having an affair with a dream demon, only didn't know about it because she thought everything that was happening between them was only happening in her dreams.

Phoebe stared at the screen for a very long time. She wanted this next part to be the pr0n sexy lust-inducing attention-holding and she was stuck as to how to do so.

She was still trying to figure out what to write next when she fell asleep.

"I don't want to be here without you," she finally confessed. "I still love you and being here without you...I can't." She stood and moved to his side, hesitantly touching his arm expecting him to jerk away from her touch.

"I meant what I said when I told you there would never be another one for me. This is where I met you, where you loved me. I can't stay."

[demonbelthazor]

You could be with me if you really wanted it, Cole thought in despair.

He nodded. "Yeah. Maybe it's best if we both go and start over somewhere else."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was rocked by his emotions and her eyes filled with tears again as her chest constricted, cutting off her air..

He doesn't love me any longer.

She swallowed, not believing she's about to do this. "I can't stay where I'm not wanted any longer, Cole."

[demonbelthazor]

"Want has little to do with this anymore," he said softly.

[sensethevisions]

"You can't even stand to be near me," she said sadly. "I hurt you so badly..."

[demonbelthazor]

"What do you expect?" Cole said. "You broke up with me. Being near you is kinda like pouring salt on the wounds. I don't know what to do anymore."

[sensethevisions]

"For me, too. I made a mistake...and that led to a big mess."

[demonbelthazor]

Yeah, that mistake was me, Cole thought unhappily.

"Guess the only thing we can do is move on then," he said. "Finish the year and figure out what to do from there."

[sensethevisions]

"I shouldn't have left you," she said softly, looking down as her own despair rose up in her. She sighed. "Do you want me to move into the spare room or just out of the Attic completely?"

[demonbelthazor]

"You didn't have a choice," Cole said bluntly. "I can't keep my promises to you. I have to do things you don't want me to do."

[sensethevisions]

"And I have to do the same thing," she said and shook her head. "There is only one promise I ever really wanted from you...and no it wasn't the one about Veronica."

Phoebe went to look out the window and then turned back to him.

[demonbelthazor]

"What was that?" he asked softly.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe swallowed. "That I'd never lose your love or earn your hatred."

[demonbelthazor]

"Sometimes love just isn't enough," Cole said sadly.
