Caroline Forbes met Elena Gilbert 4 years ago when she was engaged to her then soon to be husband Stefan Salvatore. Elena and Caroline weren't really friends like Bonnie and Caroline but because of their spouses they spent a lot of time together with Bonnie, of course. Caroline never told Elena anything and Elena usually went to Bonnie with all of her problems.

Bonnie was the bestfriend to both of them, Bonnie was their diary, their confidant. All or any secrets or problems Caroline or more so, Elena had would be entrusted with Bonnie, and since Elena and Bonnie were on the outs the responsibility of being Elena's diary fell to Caroline.

Damon cheated on me." Elena cried on the other end of the phone. Caroline held the phone away from her ear and rolled her eyes. If she had read the caller ID before answering she would've let the phone go straight to voicemail.

Elena, always playing the victim even when she was the perpetrator, always the damsel in distress. Caroline honestly thought Elena deserved a lot worse than what she got from Bonnie and was secretly delighted to see Elena get her ass handed to her.

"I'm sorry, honey." she said trying to sound as sympathetic as she could.

"How could he do this to me Caroline, I'm his wife."

"What did he say about her?" Caroline asked, wondering if Damon had told him that Bonnie was the other woman.

"Nothing really. All I know is that her name is Katerina." She sobbed. "What kind of name is Katerina anyway? I bet she's foreign and like some tall, beautiful model with great skin and a great personality." The bastard. How could he cheat on Elena with Bonnie and then cheat on Bonnie with this Katerina. "When I find out who she is I'm going to kick her ass." Elena threatened.

"Yeah I'll help," She murmured.

Elena cried harder.

Caroline sighed, she was tired of Elena crying in her ear with her problems. How did Bonnie put up with that shit? "Elena I have to go honey, I'll talk to you later okay." Caroline hung up her phone before Elena could protest and tapped on her sleeping husband in the bed next to her. He mumbled and rolled over. "Wake up." she shook him. He peaked open an eye and looked at his frowning wife.

"Uh oh what did I do now?" he asked sitting up in the bed.

"You didn't do anything. Elena called me crying about Damon cheating on her with a girl name Katarina."

"Oh."

"What do you mean oh?"

"Damon came over last night and told me what happened. He's asleep in the guest room."

"How could Damon cheat on Bonnie?"

"Bonnie? Elena is his wife." Stefan wasn't an Elena fan but she was Damon's wife so he found it surprising that Caroline would side with Bonnie.

"Yeah, but Elena will be fine, She'll be over here in a few hours to forgive him, begging for him to come back home. What will Bonnie do if she finds out the man she has been cheating with for the past 7 months has been with another woman who isn't his wife."

"Bonnie is a big girl, she'll be okay."

"You say that now but you don't know what happened?"

"What happened?"

"I promised Bonnie I wouldn't tell anyone."

"Look at you keeping a secret." he shoulder bumped her.

"And you said I couldn't hold water." She teased and kissed him before being interruped by her phone. "Hello." she answered

"Hey, I'm on my way to your house." Bonnie said through the ohonr

"Elena kicked Damon out." Caroline blurted out, reaffirming her husband's previous statement that she couldn't hold water.

"I know, he texted me last night, I didn't get it until I woke up."

"I talked to Elena."

"What did she say?"

"Bon I'm sorry but he was cheating with a girl named..." Stefan snatched Caroline's phone and hung up. He was seriously considering finding a muzzle to put over her mouth.

"Why did you hang up?"

"Because you can't hold water."

"What, Bonnie needed to know."

"But Damon needs to be the one to tell her."

"How do you know he will?"

"Trust me he will."

The doorbell ranged. "Well we'll find out, that's Bonnie." Caroline jumped out of bed and ran down stairs to open the door but Damon had already done it.

Bonnie stormed in the house and Damon closed the door behind her.

"What the hell did you do Damon?" Bonnie yelled

"How aqbout a hey Damon, how are you. I'm fine Bonnie thanks for asking"

"How about an ass kicking."

"How about a kiss."

"I'm serious Damon. You need to call Elena and get back together."

He pouted playfully "What if I don't want to?"

"Damon call Elena." she reiterated.

"Look, I don't want Elena right now." He grabbed her by her waist and pulled her closer. "I want you,now."

"What about Katarina." Caroline said glaring at him from the top of the stair case.

Damon rolled his eyes. He never understood why his brother fell for the blonde. Stefan always seemed to have a thing for brunettes. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the girl you admitted to Elena about sleeping with."

Bonnie sighed. "Katerina doesn't exist Caroline, I made her up."

Caroline was confused. "So why does Elena think Damon cheated with Katerina?"

"Because that is what Damon calls me when we're... you know." Bonnie explained

"Okay, Ew. I'm going to go get dressed. I'll be back down in ten." Caroline walked back upstairs leaving the two lovers alone.

"I missed you." He said, burying his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her sent.

"Damon, I need you to go and talk to your wife." Damon stood up straight and looked the woman in the eyes.

"I know Elena. Once she finds out where I'm staying she'll be right over here begging me to come back home and I'll go home."

"I hope you're right."

"I am, now come sit down with me." He pulled her over to the couch. "I missed you." He pushed her hair to the side and kissed her neck.

If she didn't know any better she would swear he was a vampire becaused he loved sucking on her neck.

She bit her lip, trying to stiffle a moan. Her neck was also one of her favorite erogenous zones."We need to talk." she said.

He stopped and looked at her with a worried expression. Those words were never good coming out of a woman's mouth, especially if you were screwing her.

"Uh oh. What's wrong?"

"I think we should stop this" she paused. "At least for a little while, Jeremy is getting suspicious and Elena knows you're cheating on her." He sighed. "It doesn't have to be forever it could just be for a couple of weeks until everything calms down."

"How about we do it one more time, just to get it out of our system." He suggested. He wasn't agreeing to this break but he also didn't feel like arguing with her.

He didn't wait for a response before attacking her lips and laid her back on the couch. He moved his hands under the bottom of her shirt feeling her warm skin against his callous fingers.

"Ahem." They both jumped up and saw Stefan leaning in the doorway. "I getting really tired of walking in on you two." Bonnie turned a shade of red while Damon put in his signature smirk.

"I'm sorry Stefan." Bonnie said

"No worries but I would appreciate it if you guys would do that in private."

"We'll take that into consideration." Damon replied. " Although I don't think it'll do much good though, my little Bon Bon is a screamer." Bonnie punched him in the side. "Ouch."

"I apologize again Stefan." Bonnie said before standing up and walking upstairs to find Caroline.

"You need to tell her." Stefan said once he heard a door upstairs slam shut.

"Thanks' for the advice Stefan, to bad I didn't ask for it." He replied.

"One of these days Damon you are going to be asking for my advice and I won't be around to give it to you."


"How do you feel about Damon?" Caroline asked Bonnie while Bonnie sat on her bed reading a magazine, waiting for her to hurry up ang get dressed.

"What do you mean? I told you we're just having sex. It doesn't matter what I feel."

"Yes it does Bonnie because it means it's not just sex anymore."

"Seriously, it is."

Caroline sighed and opened her mouth before closing it again. She wanted to ask Bonnie the question but was afraid of the answer she might get. She took a deep breath and blurted out the question. "Are you in love with him Bon?" Bonnie's eyes widen at the question. How was she supposed to answer that question? She knew she was in love with him but she'd never said out loud, not even to herself. To her that would make it to real. She was supposed to be in love with Jeremy and Damon loved Elena. Right?

"I don't want to." She whispered. Her eyes watering.

"Oh Bonnie." Caroline sat on her bed and hugged her best friend. "When did this happen." She already knew Bonnie was in love with Damon but she though Bonnie just hadn't realized it yet, Bonnie kept insisting that it was just sex.

"I don't know," She wipped her eyes with the back of her hand. "at first we were just having fun and relieving stress, then we started to get to know each other,"Bonnie smiled, thinking about the man downstairs. "and then I found out that Damon is actually really sweet when he wants to be, he's smart. Did you know he graduated from Yale? He's funny and he has this wierd since of humor but he always makes me laugh." Caroline smiled at the way Bonnie's eyes lit up when she talked about Damon.

"You should tell him."

Bonnie's smile immediately faded. "What? No. I still love my husband."

"If you love your husband as much as you claim you wouldn't be sleeping with Damon." Caroline had a point. At one time Bonnie would have never consider cheating on Jeremy. She was in love with him, but once they got married he was a completely different person then who he was when they were dating.

"If I told Damon how I felt that would just complicate things more than they already are."

"You don't know that. Maybe Damon feels the same way."

"No, Damon can't feel that way, He loves Elena. It's bad enough that my feelings are as deep as they are but he's married to Elena and I'm married to Jeremy and that's the way it should be."

"Why are you still married to Jeremy?" Caroline asked slowly. "Jeremy has done some really fucked up things to you but yet you continue to stay with him."

"I told you, I love him. Jeremy has been there for me when times were rough for me. When my father died and I had no money for school Jeremy married me and paid for everything."

"You deserve better than Jeremy."

"And you think Damon is better?"

"You know who Damon is and you fell in love with that person. The Jeremy you fell in love with is not the Jeremy you're married to."

"You have no idea what you are talking about Caroline and that is the end of this discussion." Bonnie snapped

"You're in love with Damon and you need to admit that and…"

"And what Caroline? If I divorce Jeremy and tell Damon how I feel and he doesn't feel the same way, I have nothing. Why give up a good situation." Caroline sighed.

Caroline met Bonnie when Bonnie first came to the city. Caroline went to the same preforming arts school as Bonnie. Caroline went for music and Bonnie went for dance. The Bonnie she met in school was this bright eyed, strong, independant and happy person who would never let anyone take advantage or walk all over her.

Bonnie was the sweetest girl you would ever meet but if you messed with her friends she'd make you wish you were never born. Now, she was hardly the same person, she was docile. Weak. That little light behind her eyes had dulled. Now that she thought about it the only times Caroline saw a flicker of that light was when Bonnie looked at Damon. She had never seen her look at Jeremy that way.

Although she didn't agree with anyone cheating on their husband or wife, in a way she was glad that Bonnie and Damon were having an affair because her best friend was slowly becoming the woman that she used to be. Elena had mentioned to her that Bonnie had changed when the truth is Bonnie was changing back into the person that she used to be. Elena just didn't know Bonnie the way she did.


Caroline walked downstairs and went straight to her husband's office, after Bonnie left. Stefan looked up from his computer screen and smiled at his blonde wife who took a seat on the small chair across from him, Crossed her arms and sighed hoping for him to ask what's wrong. When he didn't she sighed again but he still didn't respond. She let out a long exaggerated sigh waiting for his response but he didn't.

"Stefan." She whined. He looked up at her and smiled.

"I'm just kidding babe. What's wrong?"

"Bonnie."

"What Happened?"

"Where's Damon." She asked before talking too much. She didn't need Damon to overhear the conversation.

"He went to hang out with Rick or something."

"Good because Bonnie is in love with him."

Stefan pinched his eyebrows together. "Did she say that?"

"Yes, but she thinks it would ruin their 'No strings attached' relationship."

"Damon is in love with her too." Stefan confessed.

Caroline eyes widen in excitement. "What, why hasn't he told her she's afraid he doesn't feel the same way about her." she rambled never taking a breath.

Stefan sighed. "He's afraid she'll freak out and never want anything else to do with him."

"Knowing Bonnie, that's exactly what she'll do. For some reason she doesn't think she deserves to be happy."

"I think she deserves to be happy and Damon too."

"I wish Bonnie could see that and give Damon a chance."

"I wish Damon would open his damn mouth and tell Bonnie how he feels before he loses the opportunity."

"Yeah but Bonnie is stuck so far up Jeremy's ass, she wouldn't even consider leaving him."

"And Elena has Damon so tight on her leash she won't let him go without a fight. Elena's so manipulative she'll probably come up with some scheme to keep him."

"She kicked him out. Maybe she wouldn't be so opposed to divorcing him." Caroline suggested.

"It's part of her manipulation pretty soon she'll be over here sucking his dick trying to keep him and Damon would be stupid enough to go back."

Caroline sighed in frustration. "This isn't right maybe we could do something."

"They're adults the only thing we can do is sit back, watch and hope for the best."


Elena sat on her mother's couch drinking tea. She didn't visit her mother often, not to talk about her life but now she needed her motherly advice about Damon and what to do about her relationship. She had cheated on Damon before, more than once but as far as she knew this was Damon's first and only time cheating.

"I'm glad you could come visit." Miranda said taking a seat next to her daughter.

"I'm glad I did too mom. They're some things I want to talk to you about."

"What's going on?"

Elena took a deep breath. "Damon cheated on me." Miranda looked at her daughter for a moment with a straight face before she started laughing. Elena looked at her mom like she completely lost her mind.

"Oh, honey is that it."

Elena was confused. "Wait, What?"

"People cheat Elena."

"Did dad ever cheat on you?"

"More times than I can count." She said sadly sobering from her laugh and pushed a strand of her daughters straight her behind her ears.

"It doesn't bother you."

"Of course it does but always remember that the wife holds all the power."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, he'd married you, not her."

"What if he's in love with her?"

"Did he say that?"

"No, but Damon and I have been married for 5 years he wouldn't cheat if it was just sex."

Miranda sighed. "You have very beautiful skin It has a light tan, an exotic glow to it." she rubbed Elena's face with the back of her hand.

"Mom?" Elena asked worried.

"Your dad fell in love once after we got married and before you were born. Isobel Fleming was her name, I'd never forget it. She was beautiful, she also had beautiful skin." she smiled. "I knew he was cheating I just didn't know with who. I remember the first time I met her, she had the nerve to knock on my front door asking to speak to my husband. Of course I told her no and she told me the reason she was there."

"What did she say?"

"She was pregnant."

"I'm sorry mom, what did you do."

"I threaten to hit him where it hurt. His pocket." Elena laughed

"Whatever happened to Isobel and her baby?" Miranda grabbed the back of her daughter's head and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"It doesn't matter honey. All that matters is that you should fight for what you want, if you want. "

"Did you ever cheat on dad?"

"I've thought about it, but I love your father too much to hurt him the way that he's hurt me."

Elena leaned back on the chair. "Bonnie was right being cheated on hurts like a bitch."

Miranda frowned, what the hell was Elena talking about. "How does Bonnie know?" Elena sat up and looked at her mom with a curious brow. She couldn't be serious, she had to know, everybody knew.

"You're serious mom, You don't Know what happened."

"No."

"I think you might need something a little stronger than that tea because it's a long story."


AN: I can't thank you guys enough for your reviews, they honestly mean a lot to me. Writing this story makes me really anxious because I want everybody to like it. This story is going to be a lot more angsty then I orginally intended it to be but I'm hoping it will make it better in the end. I do believe in happy endings so Bamon will be endgame but It will be a journey for both Bonnie and Damon. I get a lot of reviews asking when is Bonnie going to grow a pair or get a backbone and leave Jeremy, I promise you guys she'll get there. It might not be in the next 10 or so chapters but she'll get there eventually. I have big plans for this story and I hope that you guys will stick with me. Once again thanks for all your wonderful reviews.

Now on a totally unrelated note. Do you guys remember that awesome Bamon hug that Julie Plec wrote a few weeks ago? I freaking thought it was honestly the best thing Julie Plec ever wrote until I went back and re read a oneshot I wrote and posted in December of last year and realized I wrote that Bamon reunion scene so... anyways if you want to read it the name of it is I miss you (most at christmas time)

Now on another note ( I know I'm full of notes.) Ian Somerhalder directed the shit out of that episode, It was definately the best episode of season six and how about Kat Graham in it, I swear I almost cried when she told Damon to get out. I can't forget about Caroline. Candice Accola was awesome. I love bubbly blonde Caroline but I'm really loving this no humanity Caroline. I can go on and on about the episode but I won't.

Don't forget to review
