Not Today Or Any Time Soon Chapter 2, a vampire diaries fanfic

Disclaimer: I don't own the Vampire Dairies

A/N: I'm still not sure about whether or not I should continue this story but I decided to upload another chapter and see what you guys think. Review to tell me if I should continue :) Anyway this chapter is mainly Damon's thoughts with a bit of Bonnie at the end.

Damon knew his witch; he would always tease her about the fact that he could read her thoughts like a book.

He could tell Bonnie wanted him to leave so that she could be alone. And because he respected what she wanted, he disappeared from her sight as fast as he could. Well, this wasn't the entire truth.

Damon had seen the hurt and betrayal in her eyes when he told her Elena had chosen him. And it killed him to see her this way, especially considering that it was his words that had caused those emotions. He couldn't see her like that. But at the same time he couldn't give her words of comfort, as it was best if he thought out exactly what he wanted before saying that might hurt either Bonnie or Elena in the future. So like a coward he left. Not before softly speaking a few words though.

"I just wanted to tell you before you heard from someone else. You deserved as much"

He didn't know what exactly made him say those words but the more he thought about, the more he realised how true they were.

Damon stopped running when he reached his spot. He was here to do some soul searching. Even a 145 year old vampire had to do some soul searching once in a while. His spot was an area in the woods, near the ruins of the old Salvatore manor. It was the quiet place where he came to think. He occasionally brought Bonnie along as well.

Bonnie

She was the reason he was here; thinking. He remembered back to when both he and Stefan told he to choose. He was certain that she would pick Stefan, after all she was the one who said "I love Stefan. It'll always be Stefan."

It didn't hurt him as much as it used to. It hadn't for a few months ever since...ever since him and Bonnie became good friends.

And that's when it hit him. He needed Bonnie in his life. As a friend or maybe even something more, he wasn't sure yet. All he knew was that when he thought about this past year, he remembered the nights he spent drinking and thinking about how his saint brother got everything, including Elena. Until his friendship with Bonnie developed. Bonnie understood him. Bonnie was his. He also knew that when he thought of his future, he couldn't imagine Bonnie not being in it.

So he took out his phone and saw a few missed calls from Elena. He ignored them for the moment and called Bonnie, who he had on speed dial. After a few rings, it went to voicemail. How convenient, he thought bitterly.

"Hey this is Bonnie, obviously. Can't come to the phone right now, so I'm guessing you know what to do."

"Bonnie, I'm really sorry about today. And this is one of the rare times I'm actually sincere" A pause. "Look Bonnie, I'm not one to make those cheesy speeches over voicemail... so just call me back so we can have a proper conversation"

He sighed as he put the phone down, and stared up at the night sky lost in thought once more.

This time though, he was interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing. It was Elena. Damon almost pressed ignore, but decided against it.

"Hey Elena"

"Damon! Where are you, I've been calling for ages!"

"Sorry, my phone was turned off."

"Right." A pause. "Damon, we need to talk"

"I was thinking the same thing"

Bonnie sat on her bed with a extra large tub of chocolate ice cream. If all the chick flicks she's watched have taught her one thing, it was that chocolate ice cream was the ultimate cure to a broken heart. After a lot of crying, Bonnie decided she was not going to cry over him anymore. She was a strong independent woman, and she didn't need a man by her side. But it would be nice.

Just then, her phone rang. He was calling. As much as she wanted to pick up, she reluctantly pressed ignore and put her phone away before she gave in and called him.

Few moments passed, Bonnie couldn't take it anymore and checked her phone to see if he left a voicemail message. She smiled to see he did.

Bonnie never had much will power. She dialled Damon's number, desperate to know what his "cheesy speech" was all about.

She heard the voice of a women on the line "The number you have dialled is currently. Please call back later" (A/N I have no idea what they actually say, so I made something up).

Bonnie sighed miserably and threw her phone oh her bed. For a second she almost though Damon had changed his mind about Elena. And maybe he will some day. But not today. Or any time soon.

Picking up the tub of ice cream she said "I guess it's just you and me for now," before eating another spoonful.
