Tuesday February 28th || Assistant's Lounge

Phoebe opens up the lounge in a very good mood... even if she is trying to write a mid-term for a class to take on Thursday.

Since she'd actually cried herslef to sleep last night, Paige slept in last and wandered into the lounge hoping it would be empty.

Then of course she saw Phoebe and Cole looking very happy and turned to leave, "oh sorry, I was hoping maybe it'd be empty"

And yes those are tears, and he's not even left yet.

"Paige?" Phoebe drops her notes and goes to her sister, putting and arm around her and bringing her to the couch.

She bites her lip and looks at her sister, "it's fine, it's nothing, it's just...he's leaving" she says, vaguely aware how very stupid it is for her to this upset about it.

"Geoff." She hugged her sister to her, petting her hair. "I kow how much harder on you it is than on people like Kiki and I," she says softly. "To us, he's a friend and family, so it hurts deeply. To you, he was your first love and the loss of that..." she looks over Paige's head at Cole. "...that cuts deeper than anything else ever can."

She swallowed hard and nodded slowly, hugging Phoebe back. "He's going on Thursday and he think's I'm gonna be fine, but...I'm really not sure."

Phoebe nodded.

"It's going to be hard and it's going to hurt, sis. But you will be okay, because you're not alone. You let me lean on you when I lost..." she swallowed. "...when I lost Cole. I'm here for you to lean on... and so is Piper."

She smiles just a little then, "thanks Pheebes, I really appreciate that, and you know I'm really glad you're happy and everything worked out."

She pauses for a moment wondering whether she should tell her this next bit, "I saw James last night and he was being...well nice actually, I told him about Geoff and he didn't explode or anything."

Phoebe bit the inside of her cheek hard enough to draw blood. "Maybe he realizes that you're hurting enough and anything else would add to it?" she said nicely.

She nods again "yeah maybe," she says then sighs, "why can't it even just be easy?"

"Blessed as witches, cursed as women?" she suggested helpfully.

See that? That's Paige's annoyed look.

"Great!" Well there's not much you can say to that is there?

Phoebe smiled faintly. "We're strong, Paige, remember. We can beat things like this... it just takes us longer than most."

"Yeah that's what Geoff said, about me being strong I mean, I just really wish this happening, on top of the whole James thing it's just..." and she pauses and looks up at Phoebe with a sad expression, "I was going to go with him, before we started talking more."

"You were going to leave?" she asks guiltily.

"Not for good, just...I hear stuff on the radio and things you know and well, I just didn't really you needed me here, and I promised Dr House I'd look after Geoff and, I just thought I'd be more use with him." she replies sadly.

"We need you," she says softly.

"Do you though? As a sister maybe, but not as a witch? I heard the radio the other day, stuff about Angel and knives being blown up and stuff, and well you never ask me to help with anything. I know Prue's around so I'm not really needed for...well you know, but I'm the one that's here."

"I betrayed Cole," she finally says. "I plotted with Angel to get Cole to stop trying to bring back Angelus... I couldn't live with the idea of something happening to you or Piper," Phoebe says softly. "When I got Cole to give me the weapon...the first thing I thought of was that Piper could blow it up." She bites her lip. "I was pretending to be a big sister and protect you... I didn't mean to make you feel unneeded."

She tkaes a deep breath, she really should have mentioned this before.

"You weren't pretending Pheebes, you are my big sister and I love having you around and knowing that you care about me, but you did" she says reffering it her feeling unneeded.

"I'm sure you never meant too, but you did." she repeats crying now.

Phoebe feels truly awful and her own eyes are full of tears as she holds Paige close.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, Paige. You are needed and wanted." Just Sawyer isn't welcome around us.

And now of course Paige feels even worse for making her sister cry and rests her head against her.

"It's okay and I don't you didn't mean too, and I know I'm wanted." she says letting out a calm, measured breath, "anyway I'm not going now am I?"

Oh and if Paige had any idea what Sawyer had been thinking last night he'd not be so welcome around her either, good job she's not the empath really.

"I do need you," Phoebe says softly, doing her best to make Paige feel that.

"I-I know and that's why I'm not going anymore," she replies and she does mean it.

"Besides, who but you can rescue me from doctors that look like my boyfriend before I do something stupid?"

She wants to see Paige even smile a tiny bit.

And she does, look!

"Well yeah I guess there is that, anyway the doctor's cuter," she says with a smirk, totally not caring if Cole hears or not.
