Veronica & Piper's Apartment - Wednesday All Day

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

The last week had been insane - in both good and bad ways. Veronica had gained a temporary roommate, spent a weekend in Vegas with her boyfriend and worried as her best friend and a bunch of other people took a trip to hell to kill another friend.

As a result, Veronica had done her typical Veronica thing and avoided talking to anyone for a few days. But, being that it was Valentine's Day and that she had some conversations she needed to have, she had to stop avoiding people and get on the phone.



[ooc: okay - I know there are several people who wanted to talk to V. She has two outgoing calls to make, but this post is open for incoming calls or conversations with Piper & Cal. Just please use my minor OCD to keep things straight in my head.]

"You didn't hear what happened the other day, did you?" she realized, wincing.

Pause. "No," he said suspiciously. "What happened?"

Re: Incoming Calls

Veronica sighed. "Piper and a bunch of other people went to the Underworld to rescue Phoebe and vanquish Bel."

"What? When? What happened? What bunch of people?" he rattled off the questions.

"Monday night. Piper, Paige, Angel, Piper's sons and some of their friends," Veronica said. "I'm really not sure who all went. Piper told me it was too dangerous for me to go."

"What happened?" he repeated. "Did they find Bel?"

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she swallowed. "He's... gone."

Cameron went quiet for a long time before he finally managed to speak again. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I didn't want to talk about it," Veronica said. "I'm sorry. I should have called you."

Re: Incoming Calls

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you should have," he agreed. He didn't want to sound harsh, but it probably still came out that way. "I told him I'd help."

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Cameron, there was no way to help him. He wasn't Bel anymore."

Re: Incoming Calls

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Maybe not but..." he sighed and scrubbed a hand across his face. "I thought Chris and Wyatt were Piper's sons?"

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, they are," Veronica said.

Re: Incoming Calls

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Oh," he frowned. "And their friends went with them, but Bel's didn't count?"

Re: Incoming Calls

Veronica sighed again. "Cameron, I'm not going to fight with you on Valentine's Day. I wasn't involved in the planning of the trip or deciding who got to go. And, yeah, maybe part of the reason I didn't tell you anything was going on was because I'm selfish and I love you too much to let you risk your life."

"I promised him I'd help," Cameron repeated.

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"There was nothing of Bel left to help," Veronica repeated.

Re: Incoming Calls

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Then I should have..." he didn't finish the thought and sucked in a breath. "I don't know. I'm sorry, I just hate feeling useless."

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Believe me, I know," she said softly. "But the best thing we can do now is be supportive of Phoebe and Piper and everyone else."

Re: Incoming Calls

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"How's Phoebe?" he asked right away, remembering that she had followed Bel. "Is she back to normal?"

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Veronica admitted. "She and Paige stayed here with Piper on Monday night, but I didn't really talk to them."

Re: Incoming Calls

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron let out a long sigh. "Can we go back to Vegas?"

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I wish," Veronica said. "I miss you."

Re: Incoming Calls

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I miss you too," he replied. "A lot. How much longer until summer?"

Re: Incoming Calls

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Not that long," she said. "Hey, when are you going to hear from the Academy?"
