A/N: So I was suddenly hit with the inspiration to write this Bonnie and Damon AU so I really hope y'all enjoy this. It is based after Elena is put into the coma by Kai, so this is basically my rewrite of season 7!

Disclaimer: I don't own The Vampire Diaries (Obviously)

When Damon Salvatore regained consciousness, the first thing he heard was the sirens.

They were loud and annoying, but worst of all was there were a lot of them.

There colors flashed red and blue and it was all very bright and confusing. Even the vampire was slightly dazed.

For a moment it gave him a slight calm feeling, he wished it could have stayed like this for a moment longer. If he was lucky this is all this would have been, a confused dream-like haze. Damon however, was never lucky.

Then everything seemed to come back crashing in at once.

Damon laughed as he was driving back towards the boarding house.

Overall, it had actually been a really good day. Bonnie and him had to go out of town to investigate something in Philadelphia, but it had turned out to be nothing much to Bonnie's displeasure.

Bonnie had fallen asleep once they had started to head home so the vampire had just let her sleep.

Until she had woken up.

They were a little more than halfway home when this had happened and of course when she woke up, she had been starving. So after a few miles worth of begging Damon actually stopped, bargaining that she would just have to eat in the car.

When he returned, they drove in silence as Bonnie just scarfed down the food.

Damon would once in a while look at her when she wasn't paying attention. He noticed he had been doing this a lot more than usual lately, but he thought nothing of it.

When Bonnie finished, they continued to drive in silence, till Bonnie spoke up.

"You are such a fucking bitch." She said nonchalantly, as Damon nearly swerved off the road.

"What the hell?" He asked as she was now laughing at him.

They entered a small town, as they now sat at a stop light.

"Oh I just have always wanted to tell you that, figured it was a good time." She shrugged.

"Wow, I seriously can't believe you just said that to me, if anyone is a bitch, it is most definitely you, I mean remember when you set me on fire?" He asked looking over, raising his eyebrows at her.

"You tried to kill my friend asshole."

"Well, if you look at it that way…"

"That is literally the only way to look at it." She laughed.

He just smiled at her.

"I'm glad we're friends." He told her, squeezing her hand as she looked at him and returned the favor.

Damon wished now that he hadn't been so focused on the witch next to him, he wished that he would have been able to see the semi truck that ran the red light as they went through the intersection, he wished it hadn't slammed into the passenger side of his 1969 Chevy Camaro.

He wished a lot of things hadn't happened.

As his mind swelled with thoughts of what happened, the more and more panicked the vampire got.

Before he could do anything though, paramedics were around him instantly.

If he wasn't freaking out so much, he probably would have made a smart ass comment about it.

He only caught some of what they were saying.

"He is lucky."

"Not even a scratch."

"How in the hell?"

He managed to drown all of them out, and finally was able to ask the question at the front of his mind.

"Where's Bonnie?"

The people around him seemed to stop and look at one another.

"SIr, we need you to focus on telling us what happened."

They were avoiding his question.

"Where the hell is she?" He asked firmer than before.

They once again proceed to stare at each other till one from the back spoke up.

"She is very critical condition, we don't know the exact details at the time. When we found her on scene, she was bleeding, a lot, if we hadn't arrived when we did, she might not even have a chance."

Damon felt like he was about to throw up.

A sensation he hadn't felt in a very long time considering vampires couldn't get sick.

He had always seen how much humans cared for each other, they felt, excitement, anger, grief, sadness and throughout his lifetimes on the earth he had never truly understood it until this moment.

He had loved. Deeply and passionately.

This however, was much different.

When Elena had been put into a coma by Kai, he had been angry and pained that he would not see her for almost another century. He drank and he tried his best to forget the love of his life was stuck in a box somewhere.

This, he never wanted to forget.

His best friend was dying and he had no control over it.

Then again, she had been dying for much longer than either of them wanted to admit.
