Racing to find a place for my soul ... Or at least a place that's less familiar

Phoebe didn't have classes on Fridays, so she was perfectly content with laying in bed with Cole and listening to the rain. She did have to get out of the bed at some point today, but right now, she wasn't in any hurry to get up.

Yesterday most of the boys had been girls, but luckily, Cole hadn't turned into a girl -- something she was very happy for.

She curled up close to him, and nuzzled him.




[[OOC: Small OCD as the mun is having a confusing day. First thread for demonbelthazor and second thread for lovelylana. After that any one can show up. :) ]]

Phoebe wasn't really wanting to wake up when the sun came up on Monday morning. However, remembering the events of the last Monday morning, she opened one eye very slowly and then sighed in relief.

Okay, Cole was here.

She was waking up with the right man next to her.

Remembering the events of the weekend, she curled closer to him, making sure that he really was here with her. She was achey and bruised from the fighting of the Evil Tongues of Doom(TM) in the Wastelands, but it had been worth it.

Cole was alive and he was here

For the first time in a couple of weeks (but what had seemed like forever) she was waking up a lot happier than she had been. Also, she was waking up in bed -- instead of on the couch. That was a plus, too.

She gently ran a hand through his hair, trying not to wake him up just yet.



[[OOC: For the boyfriend]]

Phoebe had passed another sleepless night. It just wasn't easy for her to fall asleep or even stay asleep right now unless she had been drinking for awhile. She had thought about going to the clinic for help, but she wasn't even sure what she would tell them.

She went into the kitchen to start making coffee -- of the extra-strong variety. Caffeine was guaranteed to help her have at least some focus during the day right now. She closed her eyes and leaned against the counter as she waited for the coffee to finish brewing.

One of these days, she would start to feel better, right?



[[OOC: Open]]

Phoebe bid goodbye to Paige as she orbed away from the dorm room and stood staring at the spot where her sister had been just a second before.

She had decided that she should probably come back to Fandom so her sisters could get on with their lives. Of course, none of them wanted her to come back right now, she was still too fragile, but she couldn't stay at the manor right now. Grams was getting suspicious of Prue's continuing to waylay her and preventing her from talking to Phoebe and find out why she was so devastated.

After making a few important phone calls, Phoebe looked around her in the main room of the suite.

The first thing she noticed were all of the roses that were here.

A bouquet of white roses with truffles and a cute foursome of chocolate mice. The note read With love and affection, to our little sister, who makes us proud.You are in our thoughts. Love, your big brothers, James and Aziraphale.
A pink rose with a note that says Love, Chris
A yellow rose with no note
A dozen red roses with no note

She was curious about the yellow rose that had no note, smiled at the rose from Chris, and tears filled her eyes at the gifts from her big sibs, but then tears started slipping down her cheeks as she stared at the dozen red roses. Cole must have ordered them before...

Before.

She swallowed and held one of the red roses to her lips.

She couldn't bear to go into their bedroom right now, so she grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around herself as she settled on the couch. She wasn't able to stop the tears as she held the red rose in her hand.

This was going to be hard.



[[OOC: Door is closed but the post is so very open.]]

After not finding what they were looking for at Caritas Phoebe and Lana headed back to the dorms and to Phoebe's rooms.

Once inside, the girls shut the door and then looked at each other.

With a soft smile, Phoebe pulled Lana gently to her and kissed her again.



[[OOC: Open for those that know who they are.]]

Phoebe had been pretty busy the last few hours. After meeting with Piper, Phoebe had lent her sister the Book of Shadows, and then had hurried back to the dorms. After digging in her closet, she pulled out a large box.

She placed that box on the couch and smaller box on his desk by his computer.

She laid out the dinner she had picked up and brought back to the dorms and then lit the candles. On the table was a card that said "Happy Birthday, Baby".

Once she was certain she had everything set up and the table looked nice, she made herself comfortable in her favorite chair by the window to wait.

Phoebe helped Cole into their dorm after getting him out of the preserve.

She had quite a lot of questions and confusions going around in her mind, but she wanted to get Cole comfortable first so that they could talk and she could take stock of all of this newness.

She eased him to the couch and then sat down next to him. She was silent for a few moments, not sure what to say.

"Can I get you anything?"

Yeah, that was helpful.

Phoebe was packing a small overnight bag so she could stay with Lana that night. She had left a note for Cole, but she kept hoping he would show up before she left so she could tell him in person what was going on. With their luck with things like this, the note would get lost and he would either be worried or think...

She shook her head. She would pack and then she would wait to leave until she knew that he knew exactly where she would be.


[[OOC: For the boyfriend]]

Phoebe had spent the night with Lana, deciding that she should give Cole his space after what had happened yesterday. She had told both Lana and Blair that she had slapped him, and both of them seemed incredibly worried that she had lost her temper enough to slap Cole of all people. She had also told James, and he suggested that she not let this sit between her and Cole for too long or things would only get worse.

She wasn't even sure he'd want to talk to her or even if she should try right now. She had done her best to be invisible during Aziraphale's lab this morning and had instead focused on the project she and Nadia were going to be working on.

However, after Constant Vigilance, she found herself in their suite packing for her trip home for the weekend...there was some moping and some tears in there, too. She must have set the record for non-participation in a class as she just could not bring herself to take part in dating techniques when things were so bad in her personal life.

Everytime she heard a sound in the hall, she looked up to see if he was opening the door, but it was never him.

She stood in the middle of the bedroom, staring down at where her bag was. She really should pack. Really. She also needed to call Paige since it looked like she would need a lift from her sister after all.

Was she really going to have to leave for the weekend without speaking to him?

After the Blue team won the game, Phoebe headed immediately to the rooms so that she could get a shower and change out of her uniform. Her muscles were starting to ache and she knew she was going to be a little sore tomorrow. However, after the confusing behavior from Cole at the game, she had thrown herself into cheering and had focused completely on the game.

After getting out of the shower, she put on a comfortable camisole and skirt and flopped down onto the couch. As usual, she was both hyper and tired after the game and was trying to decide how to handle the adrenaline.

Of course, she had had other plans for the night. However, from the exchange between her and Cole at the game, it didn't look like those plans were going to happen.

She dropped her haid back against the cushions of the couch.

Such was a Saturday night in Fandom.
