"We all do," Veronica said. "We tried to warn Angel that Darla might be faking it, but he wouldn't listen."

Apparently Vernoica hadn't gotten the memo that Bel had known and forgotten. And that he suggested the idea to Darla in the first place. "Yeah," he said guiltily. "Too bad he didn't listen, but at least he's going to be okay now."

"At least there's one thing we can agree on."

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

"There's probably more than one these days, but we'll figure that out as we go along."

Re: PINATA!

She gave him a look. "Just because I said I won't stand in your way doesn't mean we're going to start making each other friendship bracelets," she clarified.

Re: PINATA!

"I never expected that," he shot back. "Especially with your boyfriend threatening me and Phoebe."

Re: PINATA!

"Logan threatened you and Phoebe?"

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

Bel shrugged. "He said that if Angel died, he'd make sure me and Phoebe never saw each other again."

Re: PINATA!

Veronica had no idea what Angel dying would have to do with Bel and Phoebe or why Logan would say something like that.

"That doesn't even make sense," she said, her expression one of utter confusion. "It wouldn't have been your fault if Angel... hadn't made it."

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

"He thinks it is my fault, that I was in on it," Bel said simply.

Re: PINATA!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Were you?"

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

Bel sighed. "Look, I'll be honest. Originally I was, but I didn't know anything about the poisoning. Darla was just going to give him a happy moment."

Re: PINATA!

Veronica was surprised that Bel admitted his involvement. "I take it Logan knows that then," she said, starting to understand why he would have threatened Bel. "So now that Angel is going to be okay, do you really think he would try to do something that would keep you and Phoebe apart?"

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

"I don't know," Bel said. "He hates me, every time he sees me it comes down to threats or fights. If he had had his way, I wouldn't have been able to see Angel at all in the clinic.

"Look, he can threaten me all he wants. But the minute he drags Phoebe into it, all bets are off."

Re: PINATA!

"And how would you act around someone that tried to kill Phoebe?"

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

"If someone tried to kill Phoebe, they die," Bel said grimly.

Re: PINATA!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

The corners of her mouth twitched up very slightly.

"So, do you blame Logan for acting the way he does toward you?"

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

"Huh. Didn't think of it that way," Bel said. "But I was a different person then. And Logan's all lovey-dovey with Angel now, despite what Angelus did."

Re: PINATA!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Logan and Angel are friends now, but it took a long time. You can't expect people to automatically forgive you for the things you did just because you say you're sorry."

A flicker of undefinable emotion flashed on her face for a brief moment.

"Words can't make memories go away," she finished in a softer voice.

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

"What can?" he asked.

Re: PINATA!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Nothing," she replied honestly. "But actions speak louder than words and if you honestly want to be good and you can show people that..."

She let her words trail off as she considered something.

"Do you know why I was able to trust Angel?" she asked.

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

"Because he saved your life?" Bel said.

Re: PINATA!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

She nodded.

"But it wasn't just that. It was also the way he acted after that. He didn't expect me to trust him, even though he had saved my life. He didn't even expect me to talk to him."

Re: PINATA!

[demonbelthazor]

"Got it," Bel said. "That's no problem. Not like anybody talked to me before hand. I'm only here for Phoebe now anyway. I don't need to talk to anyone else."

Re: PINATA!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica rolled her eyes. "And you were doing so well," she said with a sigh.

"You still don't get it. That attitude is why people don't talk to you. Do you even know what the words humble and contrite mean? Or the concept of doing something nice for someone without expecting anything in return?"
