This will be the place for my Bonnie saying 'fuck you' to certain people one shots.

Synopsis: Bonnie realizes after Damon killed her mother that if she stays any longer, she's going to end up dead. What will the gang do once they realize that their little witch is no longer theirs?

Disclaimer: Obviously I do not own TVD, nor do I own any of the characters. If I did, Bonnie would have been treated like the kickass person she was and often wasn't allowed to be.

Burn it all Down

Vickie Donovan, Mr. Turner, Sheila Bennett, Abby Bennett, Bonnie Bennett. What do all of these people have in common? They are all collateral damage in the Salvatore-Gilbert terrible thirst triangle. I do love alliteration.

Hi. My name is Bonnie Bennett, and as it is, I don't stand a chance of surviving whatever angst ridden calamity that my so called best friend has found herself in. You see, I used to be normal. Well, as normal as any girl with a father who is always traveling for work, a mother who is perpetually non-existent, and a grandmother who says we descend from witches. Sure Grams, maybe lay off the sauce.

But, she wasn't drunk, or crazy, or lying. She was telling the truth. I'm a witch. And in the two or so years that I have be unfortunate enough to know the Salvatore brothers I have lost a teacher, my best friend's aunt, my grams, and my newly discovered mother. Technically, the last one walked out on my father and I to save my best friend, then after she succeeded she stayed away, I found her, she was killed, turned into a vampire, and then she left me again.

Oh joy. So, as you can see, I don't have the best of luck. And if I am to have any hope of keeping my rarely here father alive, I'm going to have to take a close look at what I'm doing wrong.

Anything that benefits Damon Salvatore. He Satan's spawn and can crawl back to hell for all I care.

Agreeing to anything that Stefan Salvatore wants. Because pretend all he wants, he is just a selfish ass. If he really cared about anyone, he would have put a stake through his brother's heart. I don't care if he's the one who forced Damon to turn. Also, maybe if he worked through some of those, clearly, suppressed emotional and psychological issues, maybe he wouldn't be two seconds from going ripper. Actually, maybe he should just stake his brother and then himself.

Anything at all having to do with Elena Gilbert. She used to be my best friend. Used to be. But that girl cannot make a good plan or even stick to any plan, to save her life. And almost all of these plans are to save her life. Seriously, she needs to figure out her life. My life would be better if I just let her learn how to save herself, for once.

Jeremy Gilbert's lying and ghost cheating ass. Who cheats on someone with a ghost?! Whatever. Why was I dating my friend's little brother? I have no idea.

New plan: Stop living for other people, start living for Bonnie. Salvatore brothers can fuck themselves. The Gilbert siblings (cousins?) can fuck themselves. Bonnie? Bonnie can have some fucking fun!

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

She left, not with a bang, but with the quiet of the night to keep her company.

Matt noticed by 8pm the next night, and called her. She actually answered, they talked and he promised to keep any knowledge he had of her quiet. He understood completely, even told her to place a spell on him to prevent him from telling anyone not Bonnie-approved anything about her. God, she loved Matt and she even tried to convince him to meet up with her. She wanted him out of that town.

He wouldn't budge. He wanted to finish out high school there. She understood, she was lucky enough to have had enough credits to graduate early. Because she understood, and because Matt had never known what it was like to not have to worry about rent and other bills, she told him that he was free to move into her Grams' house.

The house had been left to Bonnie, but it was hard for her to be there knowing her Grams would never enter again. So it was just sitting there, and Bonnie had long ago put any utilities and property tax on an auto pay setup. Matt, would have to worry about nothing. Especially, since Bonnie had never invited any vampire into that house. He would forever have a safe haven there.

He sounded teary eyed when he thanked her. Finally, he would be able to have a chance to at least try to live a normal teen age life. Bonnie magicked the spare key into his possession, and told him to put anything he didn't want into the basement or attic. He knew that he was free to take any room as his own, hell he could make the entire house his own. She smiled, thinking that Grams would approve.

Caroline called exactly eleven hours after Matt and proceeded to blow her phone up until she answered. She cried when Bonnie told her she had left and had no plans on returning. Then she asked, really more like told, Bonnie if she could visit her. Bonnie agreed, but only if she could perform the same spell on Caroline.

She happily agreed. They made plans to meet up the morning after graduation; Matt would be there willingly or not. Caroline said that she would do everything in her power to protect herself and Matt from becoming more collateral damage. Bonnie had already cast a pretty strong protection spell over them, so she was fairly confident in their chances of survival.

Bonnie told her to protect not just her body, but her heart and her mind. Caroline didn't need to keep putting up with the drama that is Klaus and Tyler. Bonnie actually had heard and read about rumors of a cure. She was going to find it, and shove it down Abby and Caroline's throats. But, until then, she'd keep quiet.

Damon called a week and a half later. All of his texts and voicemails were demanding that she come back immediately and take care of Klaus… "For Elena." Yeah, not happening.

Jeremy called two weeks after she left. She did not answer any of his calls or texts.

Stefan called three weeks later to apologize and beg Bonnie to return. Too little, too false.

Tyler called an hour after Stefan. He told her he just found out she was gone, and he was proud. He was trying to find a way to do the same. He implored her to not return, unless it was what she truly wanted. Then, he apologized for not being a better friend and wished her a happy life. He would receive holiday and birthday cards from her, every year.

Elena. Hmm. Well, Elena called to inform me that she had been turned after Rebekah had killed her. Elena had been healed earlier that day by some crazy doctor who gave her some of Damon's blood. She blamed Bonnie. She said that had her friend been there, she would have been protected. Right. How many people died trying to keep Elena safe? Too many, got it.

Bonnie talk to Matt and Caroline a few times a week. Bonnie had found the cure and, although there was only one… She's a witch and a descendant of Qetsiyah, so she was able to use it to call forward a duplicate (possibly from a similar dimension). Because normal rules don't quite apply to her. Especially not after all of Bonnie's training and meditation. It's amazing what you can do when you are not constantly running for your life. She was going to surprise Care when she saw her next week after graduation.

Damon continued to call and whine about something or another, as if everything that happened was her fault. She's not even there.

Jeremy stopped calling.

Stefan only called the once.

Elena only called the once.

After four years, it seemed as though Damon had finally taken the hint and stopped calling. Matt and Caroline still spent their summers traveling to meet her wherever she is at the moment. They had gotten married after she took the cure. Turns out, the only thing in their way was vampirism.

Klaus was not pleased to learn that she had used the 'only' cure and that it wasn't on a doppelgänger. She didn't care, and he couldn't find her. None of the witches he employed were able to track her.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Damon had gotten used to life without the witch. He didn't like it, though. No, in fact he hated it. He missed her like crazy. It didn't take long for him to realize that he was in love with the pocket sized vixen. It did take him a few years to realize that she would never love him. It look him a couple more to realize that it wouldn't matter how many witches he found, they would never find Bonnie.

So here he was, seven years after she'd snuck out of town without a backwards glance. He had decided to return to Mystic Falls and give a shot at fixing his relationship with his brother. It was slightly slow rolling at first, especially after he had found out that Elena was sired to him. Awkward! Thankfully, he was able to release her from that.

The dog boy was actually back from whatever weird mountain, hippie commune he had been in for a few years. He was definitely stronger. Apparently he released himself from Klaus' sire bond and managed to become an alpha. Whatever that meant.

He just got married to some nice dog girl, who moonlighted as a vet in the daytime. He joined the town council as part of some supernatural/human treaty. Or whatever, Damon didn't really care as long as they left him live.

Barbie and Ken were still living in town. Ken had become a sheriff's deputy, and under his mother-in-law's guidance he was extremely proficient in both normal procedure and how to cover up anything supernatural. Barbie became the Mayor, to the surprise of absolutely no one. She was amazing at it. To this day, they never talk about Bonnie. Never mind the fact that everyone knows that they are all still in contact with her and know where she is. They just won't give up the truth.

They continued to live in Bonnie's inherited house, citing that it was both good luck and the safest place for them to be. Of course it was! Bonnie still owned it, so there was no way Barbie or Ken could accidentally invite a vamp inside. Plus, Bonnie had cast every single charm and protection spell she could before leaving town, on both the house and on those two and her father and the sheriff. Damon was ninety-nine percent sure she still cast new protection spells on them, as soon as she learned a stronger one.

Like he said, here he was. At a bar. Alone. Still. His brother hated him. His best drinking buddy was dead. And his girl wasn't even his girl. At all. He liked to imagine what it would be like to finally see her. He would pretend that she would care about seeing him, but he knew he was just lying to himself.

As he got up, he heard the sound of the door open and turned to look, on instinct. He nearly tripped over the stool. There she was… Bonnie. Damn, she looked more beautiful than he had ever seen her. And, Damon noticed once he finally looked at her companions, completely unavailable.

Bonnie walked hand in hand with some tall Adonis, and both had wedding bands on their left ring finger. Of course. Barbie and Ken were with them and they were all laughing as they rounded the bar to find a table. As soon as the she was no longer blocked by the bar, Damon was once again surprised. Bonnie was pregnant.

Fuck.

When Elena and Stefan walked in, they immediately headed straight for Damon. As they were walking they glanced around, did a double take, and they both froze. It would have been funny if Damon wasn't dying inside. They both turned and quickly made their way over to Bonnie's table and started chatting with her.

It was clear as day to Damon, but Stelena didn't notice anything wrong. Bonnie's smile did not show itself in her eyes, like when she looked at Barbie and Ken. Nor did it seem warm and bright, like it came from her very soul, the way it did when she smiled at… him.

Turns out, he is a Halliwell. Just what the world needs; two of the strongest witch lines joined in marriage. Not only that, but he was also part angel or something? Seriously, what the fuck. Did Bonnie go out determined to find the exact opposite of Damon? Well, congratulations, she did it. Yay.

Damon couldn't exactly fault her, or him. They both looked extremely happy and in love; apparently they were a divine match, or something. And the guy's uncle was a Cupid? It gets weirder and weirder. It also doesn't bode well for Damon… It's okay. He can read the signs, and they all say, 'You had your chance and you destroyed it.'

He should leave. Try and discover any new parts of the world, which he hasn't already seen. Try to discover himself, or some bullshit like that.

Oh, well.

At least he got to see her, one last time.

At least she was smiling.

Even if the smile was for someone else.

****END****

So, I know there was no dialogue… But what did you think? Was this okay?

And, yeah. I totally made her end up with one of Piper's sons. In case you are wondering, it was Wyatt. But, I left it kind of open, for any of you Chris lovers out there. He was pretty dang great.

Damon doesn't get a happily ever after. But, he should really stop depending on a girl to make him happy.

Bonnie did get her happily ever after. Can you imagine how strong that baby would be? Whoa, buddy!

Anyway, I shall see you later. Ciao!
