Chapter Two

"Oh my god." Elena gasped out. There was Damon lying lifelessly on the floor. His skin was a sickly, pale color and Elena slowly touched his face. It was ice cold. His eyes slowly met hers.

"Bl-Blood." He coughed out in a raspy, weak voice.

"Blood!" Elena screamed. "Bonnie in Damon's room is a bag of blood. Get it." Bonnie was frozen with fear, but then ran to Damon's room.
"Elena!" Bonnie said tossing the bag to her. Elena caught it and ripped it open, forcing it down Damon's throat. His eyes flew open, and he gasped while swallowing all the blood down. He began to regain his color, and when the bag was empty he slowly sat up.
"Damon!" She said throwing her arms around him, but then pushing him away. "What's wrong with you?!" She snapped. "You could've died. You have to feed!"
"I know, Mom."He replied. "Have you ever thought that maybe I want to die...for real?" He whispered. Elena didn't reply.
"But thank you Elena." He said flashing her a smile.

"You're welcome." She mumbled.

"You brought the witch?"
"Her name is Bonnie, and Stefan told me I could."
"Little brother." He scoffed. "Well ladies, make yourself at home! I'm going to my room." He grumbled.

"No!" Elena said grabbing his wrist. He immediately yanked his wrist away, and ran too fast to his room. "Ugh." She groaned. "Bonnie we have to get him out of his room." Bonnie just stared at Elena.

"Well, what should we do?" She asked tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"One of us should talk to him." Elena said.

"...Talk to him?" Bonnie said in disbelief. Elena nodded.

"He just needs someone to tell him…it's ok."

"You can go ahead Elena. I'll just wait in the living room."
"Ok." She sighed. Bonnie went into the living room, while Elena walked slowly to Damon's room. She took a breath and lightly knocked on the door.

"Damon?" She called. He was lying on his bed, just staring at the ceiling.

"Hello Elena." He replied emotionlessly.

"Um, can I talk to you?" She asked nervously.

"Sure." Elena hesitantly sat at the edge of his bed.

"…I just wanted to know if you were ok?" Damon quickly sat up, and was inches from Elena's face.

"I know you're only here because Stefan asked you too, and if you're expected me to tell you my feelings and cry like I'm on Oprah, you might as well leave now and take Bonnie with you." He said harshly. Elena could just feel the pain in his words.

"Damon, I-"

"Just go." He said in a whisper.

Elena nodded, and started for the door.

"Damon," She said before she left. "I just wanted to tell you I'm here for you." Elena said honestly. Even Damon could feel the truth in her words. He didn't respond, and Elena then left.

"Bonnie lets go."

"Thank you."

Bonnie and Elena really went shopping, and it made them think of the old times.

"I can't remember the last time we did this." Bonnie smiled while swinging her shopping bags. Elena smiled at the happiness in her face. She was glad Bonnie was once again smiling.

"I know. I've missed this." She said. They sat down on a bench, and just talked.

"Is it bad?" Bonnie asked.

"Is what bad?" Elena replied confused.

"…Being happy, when my Grams is dead." She said softly. Bonnie had tears welling up in her eyes.

"Oh Bonnie." Elena said wrapping her arms around her. "It's not bad at all. Your grams wouldn't want you to be sad forever. I know she would want you to be happy." Elena said.

"Thanks, Elena." Bonnie smiled, wiping away her tears.

"Now come on. It's karaoke night at the grill. I know how much you love karaoke."
"I do." Bonnie grinned.

Bonnie and Elena met Caroline at the grill, and laughed while watching everyone attempt to sing.

"So, what are you singing Caroline?" Bonnie asked her.

"Hmm…I don't know. Brittany Spears or Hannah Montana?" Caroline laughed.

"Matt!" She called as he walked by.

"Hey guys." He smiled at them, and continued on.

"Looks like you and Matt worked things out." Elena smiled.

"Yeah, we're totally cool now. I've learned I need to think before I say something."
"Finally." Bonnie mumbled. "I don't really feel like singing now." Bonnie said dully.

"Why not?" Caroline asked.

"…That's why." Elena and Caroline turned around to see Damon walking through the door. He looked as he always did. He had that smug grin on his face, and his leather jacket on.

"Ladies." He said strolling over to them.

"Ugh." Caroline groaned quietly. "I'm going to get a drink." She frowned at Damon, and headed to the bar.

"Damon, you came."

"Yes." He replied simply, taking a seat next to Elena.

"Why?" Damon didn't respond.

"Well I'm glad you came. It's karaoke night."
"I don't sing."
"Please?" Elena asked.

"…No."

"Ugh. I think I'll join Caroline for that drink. You Salvatore boys just don't know how to have fun." She laughed leaving Bonnie and Damon in an awkward silence.

"Bonnie." Damon smiled nodding to her. She rolled her eyes and looked away.

"…Look," He started. "I'm sorry that opening the tomb was for nothing. Katherine…" Just saying her name now hurt so much.

"Damon Salvatore is apologizing?" Bonnie said surprised.
"Yes, unfortunately."
"I forgive you." Bonnie mumbled so softly Damon barely understood.

"What?"
"I forgive you." She spat at him in a louder voice. "…I'm sorry she wasn't there."

"Yeah " He sighed. As much as Bonnie hated him, she felt bad for him. Her Grams had loved and cared for her, and it was actually ok that she was gone. Damon loved Katherine, and she used him, and never cared at all. Bonnie just wanted to be his friend now, not an enemy.

R&R! No flames please. Thanks! Thanks for reviewing (: This chapter wasn't so great to me, so I'm gonna try to do better. Lol. I'm kinda a perfectionist.
