Damon saw her standing on the porch as if she was waiting for him to pull up. As he looked at her he realized that her name didn't do her justice. In fact no word did, she was perfect inside and out and he realized that fact too lat. Even when he found out the truth it was too late because he had did so much shit and she was already gone.

He walked up to the steps and stopped just looking up at her. "Hey," was all he was able to get out. He was speechless being this close to her after all these years. He never realized how much he missed her or how much he loved her until this moment and after she had left and everything came crashing down. He just hoped that they were able to mend things so that they could get back together.

"Hey," she simply said back to him. There was this guarded look that she had in her eyes, but she didn't leave or say anything else. She just stood the looking at me.

After a while he broke the silence. "Can we talk," he asked. He wanted so bad just to sit by her and hear her talk. He can't believe he took her for granted all those years ago. He felt so stupid for the mistake he made. She had to have been the best thing that happened to him next to the band.

She let out a sigh. She had this tired look in her eyes, but she went and sat in the porch swing, "Sure why not. We might as well get this over as soon as possible so that we can move on." She turned her head to look at the view of the city park on the other side of the rode.

Damon walked up the steps and sat down next to her on the swing. He was surprised when she didn't move. It gave him some hope. "I am truly sorry about what I did. I just want you to know that I am sorry and that I regret what I did to you," he told her. Saying those words lifted a huge weight from his shoulders.

He watched as she closed her eyes and a moment later he saw tears coming from her eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch her and just hold her, but he didn't. He knew that she wouldn't appreciate him touching her. So, he sat there and waited for her to get her bearings.

"I forgive you D," she said it so softly that he almost missed it. His heart leapt when she said his nickname. He was so happy just from her saying those words simple words. She forgave him. He couldn't have ask for anything more.

He sighed in contentment of what she said. "So what do we do now," he asked. He didn't want to get his hopes up and he didn't want to rush things with her. He knew from experience that you couldn't rush things with her.

"I guess we can try at being friends," she said and he nodded my head.

"That's good, I can handle being friends." His heart was doing flips in his chest. He was another step closer.

"Good," she stated with a yawn, "I'm getting tired. I need a nap." She really didn't want to talk to him further. Just doing this was draining, but she knew she couldn't continue.

He nodded my head. Standing up he walked down the steps and then turned back to her, "Thanks Bon Bon," he said and smiled at her. There was so much more he wanted to say to dig everything up and bury it properly, but he could tell she was not ready for that.

She returned his smile slightly, "You're welcome Damon. See ya around," and then like that she got up from her seat and walked into the house shutting the door behind her not once looking back at him.

He got into the car with a smile on his face. He was happy he made progress and that she had forgiven him.

It was Thursday night and they had all planned to hit up the bars. Care was sitting in Stefan's lap, as always, and made plans. His big arms were wrapped around her smaller frame. As she was making calls and setting things up she had a though to invite Bonnie. "We should call up Bonnie and see if she wants to go." She looked around the room and saw what everyone was thinking.

"That would be cool, Care. Go call her up and see if she wants to come," Stefan said from behind her.

She got off his lap and went into the kitchen so that no one could hear the conversation that she was going to have. She dialed Bonnie's cell number that she had gotten from her mom and on the fourth ring someone picked up the phone, "Hello."

It was Bonnie's mother, "Hey Mrs. Bennett, it's Caroline."

"Oh hello darling, what can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if you would be able to watch Emily for Bonnie as we drag her off to hang out with us?"

"Sure you know you don't have to ask. You know I want the same thing that you guys want, those two back together; especially since she has the baby. Lord when I saw that little girl I almost had a heart attack."

"Yeah I know and thanks for all that you done, like getting her to come back."

"You're welcome. I'll tell her to get ready."

"Okay, tell her we'll be there in two hours."

"Will do, bye."

"Bye." Care hung up and walked back into the living room and sat back in Stefan's lap. "We go to pick her up in an hour."

"Cool," Elena said as she leaned into Matt, "I am so happy to have my best friend back."

"Aren't we all," Klaus said as he lay on the floor, "So what are we going to do while we wait?"

"Get drunk," Kol said as he sat next to Care and Stefan.

"Not a fucking bad idea," Stefan said as the girls got up and followed Caroline to go get ready.


It's now narrowed down, but you just may realize that I am devious and will make someone's eye color different in a story just for kicks.
