PROLOGUE
SUMMER 2013
Bonnie was sitting in front of the mirror surrounded by her cousin Lucy, Cousin Tia and her best friend who she considers as her sister Elena. She was happy, nervous and excited all at the same time because later today, she will be saying I do to the love of her life. If someone had told Bonnie she'll be getting married before her cousin and sister, she would have laughed in their face. Don't get her wrong, it's not that she's unattractive or lacking in anyway except in height, she just never believed in love, marriage or kids. Why you ask? Well her dad and mum made sure she "doesn't get her hopes up because love is not what people or movies make it to be".
Her dad fell for her mum and vice versa but at the end of the day, they couldn't stay married not for themselves or for her and her dad tried his best for her after her mum left. It was her dad and her Grams who had raised her and grams is a very independent woman. "Bennett women are strong and don't need no man to survive" she told her but if you do find love, hold on to it for has long as you can and when it's time to let go, don't hold on to it by force like your father. She decided not to love at all, so love wasn't really in her dictionary. She dated but never fell in love not until she met HIM. It wasn't love at first sight for her, it took her two years and hard work to get there and now she's going to get married.
She was dressed in a simple but elegant white backless, lace mermaid Vera Wang dress. She loved it from the moment she laid eyes on it knowing immediately that that was the dress for her. She had on minimal make up and her hair was wrapped up in a Marilyn Monroe style with sheer veil on it. On her ears were her grams diamond earrings, the same one she had worn on her wedding day fifty-five years ago and jimmy Choo shoes.
Brushing her cheek with blush cousin Lucy said "girl you loo S"
"I can't believe she's getting married….like she said marriage are for people too scared to be alone and desperadoes" says her cousin Tia.
"Hey, leave my sister alone, we're all allowed to change our mind when we want to and she's allowed to change hers as well" Elena defended her.
The girls were about to start arguing when Bonnie's brother in-law to be walked in carrying a small gift box with an envelope.
"Hello ladies" he greeted.
"Hi Stefan" they all replied.
"You all look incredible by the way and Bonnie, you look absolutely stunning….just wow"
"And Lucy?" Tia asked
"I said you all so I believe she's included in you all".
Lucy rolled her eyes as she mumbled "whatever".
"This is stupid, can't you two just get over whatever it is you're fighting each other about, kiss and make up?" Tia asked before stepping out of the room.
"I'd rather kiss a donkey" Lucy replied.
"It won't be your first time anyway….remember wimpy Willie? Tia asked coming back into the room with a bottle of water.
Laughing Elena replied "that's so true, he did look like a donkey and those gigantic glasses that looked like a fish bowl"
"Hey, that's not fair, it was a dare and I had to do it because I didn't want my hair chopped off".
Everyone was laughing including Stefan but he recovered quickly after receiving a death glare from Lucy. "Well ladies as fun as this is, I've to go back to my brother before he has a mental break down looking for his shoes. This is for you Bon" he said handling the box and note to Bonnie before leaving.
"What's in it?" Lucy asked.
Shaking her head Bonnie said "if you let me open it, we'll know only then".
Tia snatched it, opened it and saw it was a note from Damon while Bonnie opened the box to find a diamond bracelet in it. The girls all "awww'd" and Lucy shushed them as she began reading the note to everyone in the room.
Hey BON-BON,
There are not words enough to express how happy and content I feel knowing soon, I would be able to call you my wife. I would say I feel blessed to have met you, know you and still know you but the truth is I don't feel blessed, I know that I am blessed inside and out. I pinched myself every day to make sure that all this is real, that you are real, that it's not just a dream which it is obviously because it'd be weird preparing to walk down the aisle with my imaginary fiancée.
I never thought I'd ever fall in love again but then you came along and warmed your way into my heart after I had promised myself I would never love again. You have this way of sneaking up on people and you did with me…..I think it's because you're so short… ;-). I fall more and more in love with you each day and I can't wait to make you my wife. I love you with all of my heart, mind, body and soul.
Forever yours, Damon.
Bonnie and the girls were trying so hard not to cry but they did. It was short but beautiful and very Damon like. She put on the bracelet, it goes well with her grams diamond necklace that she had on and got up from the chair as she saw her grams walk in from the mirror.
"You look so beautiful baby girl" grams said with tears in her eyes as she stroked Bonnie's cheek. "I'm so proud of the woman you have become and your grandpa would have been proud if he was here".
Bonnie hugged her grams "thank you grams….for everything". Elena smiled at Bonnie as she walked out of the room with her phone pressed to her ear.
"Come on baby, the car is here and your father is waiting".
They walked out of the room and down the stairs to the car. Her dad was standing by the door and he couldn't stop himself from crying as he saw his little pumpkin looking like a queen. She's all grown up and about to be someone's wife….his little girl is not a girl anymore but a woman.
"Pumpkin, you look absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe my little pumpkin is all grown up. You look just like your mother, so beautiful".
"Dad, I'm not a little pumpkin anymore and I know like you always say…I'll always be your little pumpkin. I love you dad".
"Love you too pumpkin. Ready?"
"We have to wait for Elena daddy".
"Okay".
They waited five minutes more but Elena was still no show, so Bonnie decided she'd go get her.
"I'll go get her dad. Be right back".
She called out for Elena but there was no reply, so she checked the room downstairs but she wasn't there. Bonnie went up the stairs to check if she was in her room but stopped after hearing her speaking from the guest room. She know she shouldn't listen in on her conversation but her mentioning Damon's name made her do it.
"I know Damon and I will tell her….just not now. You know Bonnie and how she can be, just let me do this for her and I promise I will tell her everything after you two get back from your honeymoon". There was silence for some minute then Elena spoke again.
"It's hard for me too Damon because she isn't just my best friend but my sister. We've been through so much together and this isn't just about you and me, it's also about Camryn. Bonnie loves her a lot and so does she. Bonnie never wanted or really liked kids but she made an exception for Cami. She rejected your ideas of fostering and adopting when she told you she doesn't want to have kids, so how am I to tell her now that the little girl she has come to love was a result of a drunken one night stand I had with the love of her life after I had told her I don't remember who the guy I had a one night stand with is. Tell me Damon? How? I've ruined everything I knew it the moment I decided to keep the baby, she will never forgive me for this."
Bonnie tuned out Elena's word as she went back in time, remembering the day herself and Elena was out with Camryn in the park two years ago.
They sat down on the blanket watching Camryn as she ate the fruit pieces from the bowl in front of her smiling. Bonnie was making faces at her as she ate making her laugh while Elena laid down pretending to sleep.
"I don't know why but do you think Cami look like Damon?" Bonnie said turning to Elena.
She got up and looked at Bonnie with a weird face "what made you say that?"
"It's just she looks like Damon when she's laughing, just look at her and her eyes they remind me of Damon its very uncanny".
"I don't see it though, maybe it's because of the way Damon is with her. You know they say the longer you spend with someone, the more you look and act like them".
Shaking her head Bonnie replied "I guess it's true then".
She had been right about Cami, Elena had lied to her and Damon… she opened the door to the guest room and Elena was in shock looking at Bonnie's expressionless face. She had heard everything, its evidence because even though her face shows no emotion or expression, she knew Bonnie knows everything.
"Were you ever going to tell me and I need you to answer me honestly?"
"Bonnie…."
"Just answer the damn question Elena"
"No, how could I? I knew it would break us, it'll break you and Damon but I knew it would break you even more. I wanted to Bonnie but when I saw you with Cami, I couldn't and things were back to normal with you and Damon. I should have but I wanted you to be happy and you were with Damon".
"Just stop Elena, just effing stop it. I don't need to hear what you have to say. You could have told me, you should have but you chose not to and were done Elena. Two years Elena, two whole years and you didn't tell me. I never want to see, talk or hear you ever again". Bonnie said as she went into her room and locked the door behind her.
"Bonnie! Bonnie! You've got to hear me out, please believe me. I never wanted to hurt you, don't do this, please. Not to yourself or to Damon…please Bonnie" Elena shouted as she kept banging on Bonnie's door.
Everyone outside heard the noise and ran inside.
"What's going on here?" grams asked. Elena was about to answer when Bonnie's door opened.
Everyone was shocked seeing Bonnie wearing a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans with high-tops sneakers and she was holding her travelling bag.
"Bonnie….." her dad started.
"Dad, grams I'm sorry but there's not going to be a wedding. You know the job offer I got from England that we talked about?" they nodded "I'm taking it. I just spoke to the guy and booked my flight, it leaves in two hours so I've to get to the airport now. I love you and I'll call you once I get to England". She told them as she walked down the stairs and out the door with her bags.
"Pumpkin wait" her dad said as she was about to get into a taxi. "Talk to me baby, tell me what happened".
"I really don't want to talk about it now, just give me time please and I'll tell you and grams then. Okay…bye" she kissed her dad's and grams cheeks.
A car pulled up and out came Damon running towards Bonnie. She watched him as he ran towards her for some seconds before she got into the taxi and told the driver to drive her to the airport.
"Bonnie….." Damon called as he ran after the taxi.
Elena stood there crying because everything she feared, her worst nightmare had caught up with her and now she had to live it. Today was supposed to be the happiest day in her sister's life but she had ruined it for her. Today she lost her best friend and Cami lost her second mother then there's Damon, he's lost the love of his life and she's responsible for him losing the love he had found after a really hard heartbreak. She was so disgusted at herself for the pain she had caused the people she love. She walked away unable to look at Mr Bennett and grams as they called out to her telling her to stop.
Hopefully one day Bonnie would be able to forgive her and Damon, hopefully. That's all she can hope for right now. All she can do now, is HOPE.
