[East Attic] Aftermath

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe had run directly to her room in East Attic after the scene with Maia in Study Hall. She hadn't undersstood Maia's turning on her, nor Paige's questioning of her. She hadn't done anything wrong, but the scene kept playing over in her mind as she fled to her room.

And, oh hell, she had started crying in public...in the fucking Study Hall no less. She could just imagine all of the amusement the other students musts be having about all of this.

Phoebe slammed the door and locked it before collapsing on her bed in misery.

The last 24 hours had been so intense and non-stop for her.

Thinking about it, she realized she hadn't yet slept.

She had gotten Jayne kicked out of his house; had a date that had started out great and then became completely awkward due to a slip of the tongue by her; she had a sudden manifestation of her precognitive powers; and she had discovered she had a third sister in Paige.

That was all just last night!

Then today, Maia had gone completely ballistic on her because she was talking to Belthazor.

She buried her face in her hands.

It was times like these that she wishes she was sharing a room with Piper, or that Rogue and Kitty were around more.

"Do you want to try to sleep now, or do you want to go somewhere and get away from all this?" He looked around and let go of Phoebe long enough to get her a tissue and not fetch an athame along with it. "I'll stay with you either way...if you want me to."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiles at him as she takes the tissue.

"Will you stay with me until I fall asleep...and then go let Piper know what's happened. She'll have noticed I wasn't in class and I don't want her more worried than necessary."

She hugs him. "She'll trust you if you tell her I'm safe and sleeping."

[demonbelthazor]

Trust me. Yeah. She will. *wince*

Belthazor put his hand under her chin and tilted her head up. "Whatever you want, baby," he said, kissing her gently.

[sensethevisions]

"Thank you," she whispers and lays back on her bed. "Let her know that I'm resting and I'm okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

He laid down on the bed beside her, his arm around her, letting her rest her head on his chest. "I will, I'll talk to her," he said. "You just go to sleep first." He kissed her again and whispered, "I love you."

Oh, fuck, where did THAT come from?

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe closes her eyes and is asleep immediately. The last 24 hours catching up with her and causing her to crash. As she falls asleep, she hears him say those words and she tries to say something, but she's asleep before she can ask him to repeat what he has said.

Piper. He'll go to Piper for her.

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor waited, listening to Phoebe's breathing until he was sure she was in a deep sleep. Carefully he pulled his arm out from underneath her and eased himself from the bed. Why the hell had he said that to her? It just slipped out. But she didn't react so...maybe she didn't hear him?

Fuck.

He pulled a blanket over Phoebe then quietly left the room to seek out Piper. Oh yeah. This'll be fun.
