(A/N) Hey! I'm so sorry this is late. It was exam week and I was studying everyday and my poor cat was ill. It was a really busy week.
Stefan was driving home to the boarding house after hanging out with Caroline and Elena.
He wondered if Bonnie was alright, she had left without a word. He wondered if he had done something to upset her, if he had done something wrong.
During all of those "Scooby gang meetings" as Damon liked to call them, Stefan and Bonnie had formed some kind of an understanding, if that's what you'd call it. She had apologized, which had led to Stefan apologizing as well. After all of the apologizing, their relationship hadn't been so tense, it was almost light and care-free, kind of like how Stefan's relationship with Lexi had been.
They had talked, hung out a few times with Elena and Caroline, and Stefan actually found himself wanting to befriend and form a solid friendship with the witch. She was funny and witty, sharp and insightful, and when she wanted to, she could almost be nice and understanding.
When Stefan arrived at the boarding house, he got out of his car, and walked into the house. He headed to the living room to see if Damon was home, but instead he found Rose.
"Hey, Rose." Stefan greeted the Alice Cullen look-alike.
"Oh, hello Stefan."
"Have you seen Damon?"
"Yup, he just went to get some more blood."
He shot her an alarmed look.
"No...No...From the blood bank I mean. He went to get some more blood from the hospital's blood bank." She said between laughs.
"Oh, alright. I'm going to go feed."
"You have fun with the bunnies."
He shot her a small smile as he walked out, which she returned.
Stefan was happy that they had met Rose, even though they had met in a not-so-nice situation. She made Damon happy, made him care. Damon and Rose were now in a relationship. Stefan hadn't seen Damon so happy before, even with Katherine.
After Stefan had fed, he walked back to the boarding house. Once again, his thoughts travelled back to Bonnie. He pondered going over and talking to her, but then decided that might be too much, too soon. He'd leave that to Elena.
Stefan walked into the living room and walked right back out. He had the grim misfortune of seeing Damon and Rose in a heated embrace.
Elena walked up to the Bennett house and knocked on the door.
No answer.
She ringed the doorbell, and received the same result.
She sat on the front porch steps and waited a few minutes.
Finally, she decided to just barge in.
She knew that Bonnie was upset; she always knew when Bonnie was upset. After all, they were best friends. Elena also knew that Bonnie liked having space when she distressed. So, Elena had waited a few hours, and after spending some time with Stefan and Caroline, she had decided to check up on Bonnie and see how she was doing.
Elena walked upstairs to Bonnie's bedroom, and saw that she was curled up in bed, pretending to sleep. She was an awful actress.
"Oh, Bonnie!" Elena greeted her in a sing-song voice.
No response.
Elena tackled her best friend with tickles.
Bonnie couldn't help it she burst out laughing and tickled Elena as well.
After the tickle war, which they had both decided was a tie; Elena noticed that Bonnie didn't look so great.
Her hair which was usually a perfect mass of glossy dark waves, was disheveled and in a messy array. Her usual glowing complexion looked paler than normal.
"What's wrong Bonnie?" Elena asked softly.
"Oh, Elena, I'm a horrible person." Bonnie exclaimed.
"No, you're not, Bonnie." The brunette said firmly. "Tell me what's wrong. You're my best friend, you can trust me."
"I can't tell you. You'll hate me." Bonnie whispered. Her voice broke a couple of times.
Elena realized she was trying not to cry.
"Do you want me to leave?" Elena asked her friend in a worried tone.
Bonnie took a peak at her friend, shocked. Elena had really matured.
Stefan and Elena are good for each other. The witch realized.
"I'm sorry, Elena. I just need some time."
"Alright, Bonnie. Call me if you need anything." Elena emphasized the 'anything'.
"Thanks, Elena."
"Anytime, Bonnie." Elena walked towards the door, when she reached it, she turned around. "Bon, are you going to school tomorrow?" Elena asked with a barely disguised sly smile.
"Probably, exams are coming up." The witch sat up. "Why?" She asked warily.
"Oh, nothing really. Just that Matt wanted to talk to you really bad." Elena said innocently, with a suggestive raise of her eyebrows.
Bonnie couldn't help herself. She was curious.
"What did he want to talk to me about?"
"Something about a date or whatever." Elena replied. That sly smile was now a full grin. With that, Elena walked out of Bonnie's bedroom, leaving behind a surprised, wondering witch.
(A/N) I realize that there isn't any Stefonnie interaction. I promise to have some in the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. I know this chapter wasn't that great, I'd love to hear what you guys think. Please Review!
