Chapter Three
Waking up early at 5:30 in the morning, Bonnie got up, tidied the room up and left the boarding house with a note on the table for Damon; telling him she's going to go check out her house and visit her grams grave.
She teleported herself to the her house, outside on the porch. The grass was too tall and there were dead leaves everywhere. Unlocking the door with the spare key underneath the flower pot she let herself in. The house on the inside was tidy like the way it always was except everything was dusty and there were cobwebs everywhere.
She went into the living room, looking at a picture of herself and her dad. She smiled and cried because he's never coming back. Moving upstairs into her dad's room, it was clean, organized but dusty. Being tidy and organized is something she shared with her dad, they were both clean freaks. Her last stop was her room, everything was the way she left them. It's like nothing changed but everything had changed.
She decided to clean the place up which will require a lot of work but not to worry because that was going to be her magical practice for the day. She did a cleaning spell to clean every nook and cranny of the house, dusted and shinned with magic. Her house was clean again.
She got out the directory, called an handy man to cut the grass and clean the porch. She waited for the man to come before going to the back to fix the garden. Bonnie brought back the dead plants and flowers, making the garden look as beautiful as ever. She went back inside, paid the handyman and said thanks before closing the door.
Bonnie ordered pizza to eat, its been a while since she had pizza and mentally made a note to herself to get a new phone. Sitting down on the couch, she put on the tv to watch something interesting. On the screen was Chris Evans, she had miss seeing his face on screen, the man is smoking hot. Getting comfortable on the couch, the doorbell rang. Bonnie got scared hearing the doorbell, she stood there in shock for two seconds beofre calming down. It must be the pizza delivery guy, she did order pizza. She ran to the door with cash in hand, paid for her pizza and thanked the deliveryman. She watched him leave and was about to close the door when Damon arrived on her porch.
" Hey, what you doing here?" Bonnie asked.
"Good afternoon to you too judgey" Damon answered.
"Sorry, I just wasn't expecting to see you" Bonnie replied.
"I can't believe you would eat all that without inviting me" Damon said making a sad face.
"Hmm, come in Damon" Bonnie said shaking her head.
Locking the door behind her, Bonnie dropped the pizza on the table in the living room. She went into the kitchen, took two glasses and went back into the living room.
"What are we watching?" Damon asked jumping onto the couch.
"Captain America: the winter soldier" Bonnie answered.
"Thank God its not a chick flick, can't stand them" Damon said.
"I wonder why? Can't be fun watching your girlfriend drool over another guy" Bonnie said smiling.
"Why would she do that? I'm a walking sex machine, every girl wants to get in my pants and love stories these days are so overrated" Damon replied winking at Bonnie.
"Tell me about it. Like what guy in in his right mind would try to commit suicide because the love of his life left him. I'm just tired of stupid love stories, its so unrealistic" Bonnie said.
"Preach sister, but I've always thought you were a fairytale kind of girl".
"I think you have me mistaken for Caroline. Don't get me wrong, I believe in love but I'm also a realist".
"Hmm, good for you".
Bonnie picked up a sliced of pizza, breathe in the aroma and ate it. She revelled in it, its been too long. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Damon look at her with interest.
"What?" Bonnie asked.
"Nothing, its just that I forgot how you love smelling your food and revel in the taste of it".
"I can't help it" Bonnie told him smiling.
"You must be really hungry" Damon said.
"Not really, why?".
"I've only had on slice and you are on your eight slice already".
"Oh my world Damon, now you're taking my food count?" Bonnie said raising one eyebrow up.
"No, its just that you're eating more than I've seen. Last night, you ate pancakes, then pasta and you ate cereal at midnight" Damon said.
"Really Damon, now you're food stalking me".
"No, just telling facts. You're human, so you might want to keep it down a notch. I'm being a good friend here trying to safe you from yourself and fat". Damon deadpanned.
"Wow, thanks Damon. No need to be subtle there".
"Don't worry, its my pleasure and you can always count on me to tell you the truth and I on you for the same" Damon finished.
"Do I look fat?" Bonnie asked.
"No, you look good, actually better than good. You look great" Damon said smiling.
"Thanks" Bonnie said in relief.
Damon looked at Bonnie again, his face becoming serious.
"How are you really" Damon asked.
"I'm okay I guess" Bonnie answered.
"No, I want a real answer, no lies" Damon told Bonnie.
"I'm okay in a way, I guess I'm still taking everything all in. I'm just trying to get use to being back. Hearing the doorbell today really scared me, I had to remind myself it was the pizza guy".
" Everything has been quiet for a really long time that I forgot what a doorbell sound like. I Just stood there unable to move." Bonnie finished.
" You just got back and you're still getting use to being back. Its understandable".
"Have you been here all morning?" Damon asked.
" Yea, I was busy cleaning the house up" Bonnie answered.
"That explained it, I was at the grave yard to check up on you but you weren't there. So you clean this place up all by yourself?" Damon asked.
"Yea but I did pay someone to cut the front lawn" Bonnie replied.
"Right, so what are you doing after the movie?" Damon asked.
"I'm going to my grams, clean the place up as well then visit her grave" Bonnie answered.
"I'll help you with it".
"Don't you have to meet up with Elena or Alaric?" Bonnie asked.
"No, Alaric is out with Jo shopping for baby clothes and wedding dress or whatever it is they do. Both Elena and Stefan are on Caroline patrol, Enzo I'm not really sure what he's up to".
"Are you trying to get rid of me?"Damon asked.
"No, just checking" Bonnie replied.
They watched the reminder of the movie in silence and Damon would look at Bonnie every now and then just to make sure she's doing okay.
Standing in front of her grams house with Damon, Bonnie smiled and went inside. She turned around to see Damon still standing.
"You coming?" Bonnie asked
"Forgetting something bonbon?" Damon asked back.
"Oh, sorry. Do come in Damon" Bonnie said.
They went into the house and they both got to work. Bonnie used her magic to clean and dust while Damon cut the front and back lawn with vampire speed. Bonnie revived the plants, moved furnitures around with Damon's help and was pleased with the end result.
Once finished, Bonnie put off the lights and locked the house up. She walked down the step with Damon behind her. She was about to take another step when she felt dizzy. She held her head with one hand and the other on the rail to keep herself steady.
"Bonnie, are you ok?" Damon asked
"I will be, I just need a minute. I guess i exceeded my limits today" Bonnie replied.
Damon helped her to the porch to sit for a bit. He kept an eye on her to make sure she was physically fine. She looked ok but her heart was still beating too fast.
"Bonnie, are you ok?" Damon asked.
"Yes. Why?" Bonnie replied.
"Just that you're heart is still beating real fast. It should be calm by now" Damon told her.
"Oh, I'm okay though" Bonnie answered.
Damon nodded his head and said nothing more. They sat on the porch for 15 minutes until Bonnie was fully recovered.
"Shall we" Bonnie asked.
"Yes Judgey" Damon answered.
Bonnie went to her grams grave while Damon went back to the boarding house. She sat at her grams grave for a while telling her her truth. Things she would have loved to tell her friends but can't. Not yet anyways. Caroline is now an emotionless vampire roaming the street, she wouldn't care and then there's Elena playing moral police to Caroline. Elena would not understand, because she'd be too angry to. So, it's better with them not knowing her secret. She will tell them one day, just not yet.
She got up from the floor, wiped herself clean and went to her car. Its time she met her friends and with that, she drove all the way to Whitmore.
On getting to Whitmore, Bonnie got out of the car and walked to the dorm room she shared with her friends. At the door of the room, Bonnie took a deep breath before she went it.
Elena was standing in the middle of the room with her back to the door. Smiling, Bonnie walked towards her.
"Uhhm uhhm" Bonnie coughed
Turning to the sound, Elena smiled looking at Bonnie.
"Bon" Elena said
"Hi" Bonnie replied.
The two of them smiled and hugged each other. After a while, they broke apart still smiling. Just then, Caroline walked in carrying several shopping bags.
"What's in the bag Care? Elena asked.
"Shopping Elena, I needed a new wardrobe" Caroline replied.
Bonnie moved from behind Elena so she could get a better look at the baby vamp.
"Oh, hey bon, you're back" Caroline said.
"Hey care" Bonnie said.
"I'm throwing a rave tonight, you two should come. It'll be fun" Caroline told them.
"Care..." Elena started
"Don't worry Elena, I won't be killing anyone. Unlike you I just want to have fun not not paint the town red with blood" Caroline said.
Elena looked to Bonnie for help, but Bonnie said nothing. Bonnie was watching the conversation with interest.
"I don't need a babysitter Elena, I won't kill anyone. Give me a year to be emotionless, without having anyone on my back and I'll be good. And no locking me up in the dungeon to drain me or witchy migraine me. I promise not to kill anyone but if there's any interference whatsoever, I'm going to be your worst nightmare" Caroline said.
Caroline looked to both Elena and Bonnie for agreement. They both nodded and Caroline smiled.
"Ok, see you later. This is gonna be fun" She said exiting.
Bonnie and Elena went to the rave. The warehouse was filled with people dancing, they were all wearing glow stick and covered in glow paints with the music playing really loud. Bonnie and Elena split up to see if they can find Caroline.
Bonnie moved inbetween the crowd trying to find Caroline. There were too many people and it made Bonnie really uncomfortable. She hadn't seen that many people in a really long time. She felt choked and suffocated. She moved real fast to get ahead when someone grabbed her.
"Dance with me" the guy said.
"No thanks" Bonnie answered.
"Come on, you're hot" the guy told bonnie.
"No, I need to find my friend" Bonnie told him.
She tried to get away but he wouldn't let go. Bonnie burnt him with her magic and he finally let her go.
"What the hell?" the guy asked.
"I'm hot" Bonnie replied and walked away.
She walked faster so she could get to the exist when her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw that it was Damon calling. She picked it up breathing heavily.
"Damon, thank God its you" Bonnie said
"Missed me already? I was wondering if you could do me a favor?" Damon said.
He heard her heavily breathing in the background, so he decided to check on her.
"Are you okay Bonnie? Where are you?" He asked.
"Not really, I just burned a human with my magic because he asked me to dance so no, I'm not ok. I'm at Caroline's rave" Bonnie answered.
"I'll be right there" Damon said.
"Ok" Bonnie replied.
She walked out the door shaking. She felt like she was having an out of body experience. She was unsteady and she tried to steady herself and calm her breath. She rested her body on the wall, breathing hard.
"Bonnie" Damon said.
"Damon, you're here" Bonnie said smiling.
"I need you to listen to me. Don't freak out but I brought someone with me" Damon told her.
Bonnie was confused, not sure why he was telling her not to freak out. Just then, she saw Kai walk towards her. Bonnie stood up straight with a pained expression on her face.
"Bonnie, I just want to apologize to you for everything that I've done. I was horrible to you and I am truly sorry" Kai said to Bonnie.
"He really has changed" Damon told Bonnie.
Bonnie's body was all tensed up. She was really angry. How could he think it was okay to bring Kai to see her. She was furious and so was her magic, but there were too many humans around them. She walked out without saying a word and went straight into her dorm room.
Every light in the room came on, the fire place lit up, burning brightly. Damon came in closing the door behind him and Bonnie knew he was there without having to look. Bonnie turned around to face Damon, she had been crying.
"How could you? You knew what he did to me and still you brought him to me" Bonnie started.
"He tortured me and left me Damon".
"He's different now Bonnie" Damon told her.
"He's changed? He tortured me. You have no idea what he did to me. How could you? If only I could show you" Bonnie said.
Bonnie turned her magic on Damon, she would show him what he did to her. The fire burned brighter.
" He shoot me in the stomach with an arrow" Bonnie said twisting her hand and she magically shot Damon.
"I ran but he was already in the car waiting for me and he strangled me" Bonnie choked Damon.
"He told me he doesn't want to hurt me any more, and asked if we could be friends. I thought why not and you know what he did? He stabbed me in the same spot again" Bonnie vented.
She stopped inflicting pain on Damon. He was breathing really hard and he could still feel a little pain.
"Bonnie.." He started.
" Get out" Bonnie said.
Damon stood there not moving.
"Get out!" Bonnie screamed turning her back to him.
He walked out the door shutting it behind him. Bonnie stood facing the fire and cried. He was supposed to be her friend and she wasn't ready for that.
Bonnie laid on her bed turning and tossing. She couldn't sleep and she was restless which isn't healthy really. She needed to do sonething to release the tension and anger she felt.
She got off the bed, put on a blue jean, t-shirt and leather Jacket. She grabbed her phone and was on her way out when Elena called.
"Hey Elena, what's up?"
"Something happened tonight, Stefan tried to get Care's humanity turned on and things got out of hand" Elena said.
"What happened?"
"Well, Caroline got my ex to perform a surgery on Stefan's niece, and almost killed her but I got there just in time to save her. She's ok now but Stefan made a deal with Caroline while I was trying to save Sarah and now he's emotionless too" Elena finished.
"Wait, Stefan has a niece? Is she Zac Salvatore's daughter?" Bonnie asked.
"Yes, but Damon doesn't know yet. Stefan doesn't want him to know and he also wants to protect her from everything vampire related".
"I'll tell you the details later" Elena finished.
"Ok, but what are you going to do now?" Bonnie asked.
"I was wondering if you could help" Elena said.
"I can't Elena, you just have to find some other option. Sorry" Bonnie told her.
"Its ok, I understand. I'll talk to you later" Elena replied.
Bonnie cut the phone and put it off. She walked out the door and into the night to a place where she could find peace and quietness ( her grams' house ).
