ADMTNT Chapter 9: Learning how to Breathe again.
"Isn't Channing Tatum the most sexiest man you have ever seen?" Caroline asked gushing at the television screen. Bonnie and Elena nodded their heads in unison as they watched the young stud skilfully dribble a soccer ball in the movie 'She's the man'. Bonnie smiled grabbing a handful of popcorn "He's even sexier when he dances" Bonnie replied adding more positive feedback about Channing Tatum.
Elena sighed placing her right hand on her cheek "I miss Damon" She muttered before indulging in the chocolate next to her. Bonnie and Caroline exchanged glances before turning their attention back on the moping teenage girl.
"Elena..." Caroline said stretching out her name in a warning tone.
"I'm sorry, I know I should be having fun and all but I just can't seem to get my mind off of him"
Bonnie put an arm around Elena providing her with the support she needed "Damon's just being Damon, as soon as he cools down the two of you can talk" Bonnie replied knowing the man with brilliant sapphire eyes just needed time to think about some things. Bonnie could feel the tension radiating off of Elena it didn't take long for her to figure out Elena somewhat blamed her for Damon being upset with her. Bonnie frowned feeling Elena slowly gravitate out of her embrace, the young brown haired girl covered her face with her hand. Elena did forgive Bonnie and meant every word she said about forgiving her and about Bonnie being her best friend but she couldn't help but think Bonnie was to blame as well for her boyfriend's anger towards her.
"I know Bon, but I made a mistake and I miss him" Elena sighed getting up from the hardwood floor and onto her feet, grabbing her bag and pillow. Bonnie and Caroline just watched as their friend started to pack up her belongings.
Caroline was the first to speak up "What are you doing?" She asked with her blonde eyebrow expertly raised up at the girl.
"I'm sorry guys I think I'm going to ditch movie night and head home" She replied unplugging her phone from the wall. Bonnie just looked up at Elena knowing very well home was the last place she was going "Are you sure you're going home or to the boarding house?" Bonnie muttered loudly not realizing she had said that out loud until she saw Elena's facial expression.
"Excuse me where I go is none of your business" She replied ready to start a whole new argument.
Bonnie shook her head "I didn't mean to upset you Elena, but going to see Damon right now is going to be a bad idea believe me he does stupid things when he is angry!" Bonnie replied defending herself.
Caroline nodded in agreement with Bonnie "She's right Elena and you know it" Caroline said looking up at the distressed young woman.
"I know what he does when he's angry but that doesn't change the fact that I need to see him!" Elena said growing upset all over again making Bonnie slightly roll her eyes at her. Bonnie sighed not wanting to fight with Elena anymore she could only give her, her judgement and let Elena decided for herself. No matter what Elena and Caroline will always be her sisters "Go" Bonnie said silently "I can't stop you, but know that we're only looking out for you so you don't get hurt Lena" Bonnie replied.
"Thank you Bon, but I know what I'm doing" She said hastily before turning around and exiting the room. Caroline got up shutting back her door before joining Bonnie on the floor once again.
"Why did she come if all she was going to do is whine about Damon" Caroline asked annoyed by the situation.
"I made her" Was all Bonnie said.
"Yeah but you didn't make her act all bitchy!" Caroline exclaimed "Did you see how PMSy she was"
Bonnie tried her best not to laugh at Caroline's statement "She was only bitch-face because she blames me" Bonnie replied hopping up on Caroline's plush bed that was covered with bright pink covers. Caroline got up sitting on the Edge of her bed staring at the maiden with green orbs "How do you figure?" Caroline asked interested in what Bonnie had to say.
"Isn't it obvious, she was giving me the cold shoulder all night long ever since someone had to bring up Damon's name"
Caroline threw her hands up playfully "Hey I didn't know she would turn into miss. Ice-princess" Caroline said laughing.
Bonnie laughed as well "And think about it Damon's mad at her because she called Stefan her boyfriend, Elena called Stefan her boyfriend because Stefan was kissing me. If I wasn't kissing Stefan she wouldn't have called Stefan her boyfriend hence Damon wouldn't be mad at her" Bonnie reasoned understanding why Elena might have been angry with her.
Caroline kissed her teeth like she had saw Shelia do so many times "Please Elena just wants someone to blame because she messed up and for the first time the Salvatore's are not bending over backwards to assure her it was okay" Caroline said leaving Bonnie stunned.
A laugh escaped Bonnie's lips as she looked at Caroline Did you just kiss your teeth ?" Bonnie replied laughing uncontrollably making Caroline glare at the her.
Caroline shrugged "What your grams taught me how to do it" She replied laughing.
Bonnie just shook her head laughing at her bubbly friend, no matter what happened Bonnie was determined to make this night stress-free and fun whether Elena participated in it or not. Caroline grabbed the television remote and turned off the movie no one seemed to be watching. She reached under her bed and grabbed out a book placing it on the center of the bed. Bonnie looked at the book then back up at Caroline, the bubbly blonde then opened the book with a bright smile on her face "Alright witchy it's time to help plan my party!" Caroline said with a truck-load of excitement.
Bonnie groaned looking down at the book "I knew I should have left with Elena when I had the chance" She joked sticking out her tongue to tease her friend.
"Hey!" Caroline replied laughing "Well it's a good thing you stayed cause I could really use your help and you know you love me"
Bonnie shrugged taking a sip of her coke before placing it back on the nightstand "Strangely enough I do" Bonnie teased before spending the rest of the night making jokes with Caroline and helping her plan her party...
Elena walked up to the Salvatore's porch, she sucked in a deep breath before slowly raising up her hand and knocking on the large wooden door. A couple of minutes passed and there was no answer sighing she tried again determined to talk to Damon but the results were the same. Just as she was about to turn around and leave the door opened and out came a man with a straight face who's eyes were as blue as the ocean... Damon.
"Hey" Elena breathed out looking up at him "Can we talk"
"I'm sorry Damon isn't here right now leave a message after the kiss my ass!" Damon replied bitterly ready to slam the door in the young woman's face. Elena reached out grabbing his arm stopping him from doing so. A growl emerged from the vampire's throat frightening Elena but she wasn't going to give up easily. Damon looked down at his arm the one Elena was currently holding onto.
"You must be real stupid to come here and try and talk to me when I'm angry"
"Then I guess I'm stupid." Elena whispered looking into his eyes "I made a mistake Damon you know I love you not Stefan"
Damon laughed a humour-less laugh "You know what's so funny, it wasn't too long ago when you said the exact same thing to Stefan" he responded removing himself from her grip. Guilt was written all over Elena's face once she realized she could no longer look at Damon, maybe Bonnie and Caroline were right maybe coming her now wasn't the right thing to do.
"Damon, please forgive me" She begged making the man roll his eyes at her "It was a mistake, don't throw us away. We made it so far, you changed so much"
"That's the thing Elena... I changed, what about you!" Damon growled angrily "Why did I have to change, what was so wrong with the old me?"
"Nothing!" Elena responded quickly.
"You're a liar, a cold-hearted bitch who likes to rip people's hearts out"
Elena shook her head "No that's not true, you're a better person now Damon you changed for the better... for me" Elena replied looking up at his eyes deeply not realizing the words that were coming out of her mouth. Damon scoffed looking down at her before ripping his arm away from her for the second time tonight.
"I was fine the way I was, if you truly loved me you wouldn't want me to change" Damon replied darkly "You're just trying to turn me into another Stefan so you wouldn't feel so bad for cheating on him! Well I'm not my brother I'm Damon Salvatore and I change for no one"
"No, I love you and how you are Damon!" Elena screamed at him "Stop trying to make me look like the bad guy"
"You actually thought I change for you" Damon replied harshly allowing the venom to drip from his words "Pfft what makes you think you're that special?"
The blue eyed man slammed the door in Elena's face, tears started to form in her eyes as she turned around and headed back into her car. She hated the situation she was in and it was pretty obvious Damon wanted nothing to do with her.
Bonnie arrived home around noon a smile instantly came on her face once she saw Maggie's car parked in the drive-way. She grabbed her stuff out of the car before heading inside to greet her father and his girlfriend. A sweet aroma filled her nose, she slowly licked her lips and followed the smell until she arrived in the kitchen to see Maggie's famous brownies sitting on the counter. Smiling she reached up at took one taking a massive bite out of it enjoying the chocolate sensation.
"Well look who's home" Charles said walking into the kitchen, catching his daughter sneaking a brownie. Maggie and Shelia walked in as well, Shelia was carrying a pitcher of her homemade lemonade and Maggie was carrying a bunch of plastic cups. "Hey Dad, Mags and Grams!" Bonnie replied hugging each of them.
"What's going on?" She asked tempted to take another brownie.
Shelia walked up placing the pitcher on the counter "Your Daddy has gotten promoted so were throwing a little party" Shelia responded giving her son a little nudge on the elbow. Bonnie looked at her Dad only to see a bright smile on his face "Congrats Dad!" She said happily hugging the man once again.
"Thanks Baby" Charles replied "Alright what do you say we eat!" The tall man said extending his hand to grab a brownie, Shelia slapped his hand away before he could take one.
"You know we're waiting for your brother until we eat!" Shelia said sternly "Plus it looks like you eaten enough brownies for a lifetime"
Charles frowned looking at his mother "Thanks 'ma" He responded.
Shelia just laughed patting her son's stomach "You know I love you boy and your cute little pudgy stomach" Shelia said kissing her son on the cheek. Bonnie laughed at her father's facial expression, it was clear she loved her family no matter how weird they were. Ever since Bonnie was young she remembered all the time she would tease her dad about his 'beer-belly'.
"Alright that it I'm leaving" Charles joked taking out the frozen burgers out of the freezer and bringing them outside.
Maggie laughed at her boyfriend "It's okay babe I still love you just the way you are" She called out blowing him a kiss. Bonnie and Shelia pretended to get sick before leaving Maggie and Charles to be alone and heading into the living room.
"So baby how are things?" Shelia asked taking a seat on the couch kicking up her feet like she owned the place.
Bonnie smiled looking up at her grandmother "Things are good Grams" She responded playing with her hair. Shelia looked at the girl knowing she wasn't telling her something "Just good eh?" She asked curiously making herself more comfortable in the cushion.
Bonnie smirked "What do you want to know?" She asked laughing at her grams' smile.
"How are things between you and that boy"
"You mean Stefan?" Bonnie corrected her smiling when Shelia nodded her head in response "Things are good"
"Girl if you say good one more time" Shelia responded in a warning tone.
"Alright, alright!" Bonnie said throwing her hands up in defence "We're kind of... dating"
Shelia's eyes grew wide as she looked at her grand-baby "Dating and your waiting to tell me this now!" Shelia laughed playfully smacking Bonnie on the arm. Bonnie laughed "I was going to tell you" Bonnie replied with a smile on her face.
"Well at least you told me now baby" Shelia said happily "And I'm glad for you"
"Thanks Grams" Bonnie replied giving her grandmother a hug, Shelia hugged her grand-daughter back lovingly before slowly pulling away and continuing to talk about Bonnie and her new boyfriend.
"I've always liked that Stefan boy, he was a such a cutie back in the 60's" Grams teased knowing all about Stefan's and Damon's secret.
"Grams!" Bonnie exclaimed looking at her grand-mother with wide eyes.
"Don't Grams me, I knew him first!" Shelia teased joking around with Bonnie. Charles entered the room sitting down on the couch with his mom and daughter invading their conversation.
"So Bonnie, when does your old man get to meet this Stefan guy?" Charles asked curiously "You should invite him over today"
"Um.. I think he's busy, family stuff" Bonnie lied trying to delay the day her and Stefan would meet.
"Oh, well maybe he can come over for dinner on friday?" Charles responded determined to meet this boy his daughter would constantly gush about to him.
Bonnie sighed knowing he wasn't going to give up "Alright I'll ask him" She replied getting up from the couch, Charles smiled giving his mother a high-five before settling down on the couch "Oh and Bonnie tell him No isn't an option" Charles called out to his daughter. Bonnie groaned before nodding her head and heading upstairs to her room, waiting for her uncle Ben and his family to arrive.
Bonnie threw herself on her soft comfy bed tired from her long day with her family, she allowed all of her muscles to relax as she got comfortable enough to fall asleep. Before she closed her eyes she glanced at the clock, in large green numbers it read 12:37pm sighing she finally closed her eyes allowing sleep to find her. A small tapping sound woke the sleeping witch up, she rubbed her eyes and scanned the room to see where it was coming from. The light tapping sound came again and Bonnie slowly moved her gaze to the window covered by her blinds. The young woman groaned knowing she would have to leave the comfort of her bed and walk over to the window. Her head turned to her night stand were her clock was this time the green numbers read 12:47pm. She had only been asleep for 10 minutes. Annoyed and cranky she got up out of her bed and walked over to the window, she quickly opened her blinds only to see Stefan smiling sitting on a branch outside of her window. Stefan looked at her she was wearing blue pyjama shorts with a white tank-top that had a picture of Daffy Duck on it and her hair was tied up into a high ponytail.
Bonnie slowly opened her window facing him "Hey" Stefan said noticing the deadly glare she was giving him.
"Hi" Bonnie yawned sitting on the window-still "What's up?" She asked not really interested to start a conversation with the man due to her lack of sleep. Stefan laughed looking at the woman with beautiful emerald eyes before extending a hand to her urging her to take it "Come with me" he whispered his hand still extended reaching out to her.
Bonnie looked at him as if he were crazy "Are you insane!" Bonnie said in a raspy tone.
"Just come, I promise I won't let you fall" Stefan said sweetly waiting for her to hold onto him.
Bonnie's gaze headed down to his hand "Where are we going?" She asked while grabbing onto him smiling when he pulled her in close, Bonnie clung onto him for her dear life. The smell of his sweet cologne woke up her senses as she buried her head in the crook of his neck. Stefan smiled before wrapping his arms around her waist "Wherever the world takes us" He whispered before using his vampire abilities to jump down from the sturdy branch that was supporting both of their body weight and down onto the ground. Bonnie looked at Stefan's face witnessing his smile, she slowly untangled herself from him and supported herself on her own two feet.
"How are you?" Stefan asked looking deep into her eyes while walking in a random direction.
Bonnie yawned following him "Tired" She said trying to keep herself alert of her surroundings. Stefan chuckled knowing very well he woke her up from her beautiful sleep "Oh I'm sorry did I wake little BonBon from her nappy time" He teased in a mocking voice. Bonnie laughed playfully shoving the man away from her "Tip you might not want to mess with a tired and very cranky witch when she's deprived of sleep" Bonnie warned.
Stefan walked back over to her putting an arm around her "Good to know" He responded with a little chuckle, somehow the two ended up in the park not too far away from Bonnie's house. Bonnie smiled walking up to a little hill before lying down on the green grass gazing up at the stars. Stefan joined her on the grass looking up at the beautiful night sky.
"It's beautiful" Bonnie whispered referring to the shining stars.
Stefan shook his head "No, you're beautiful" He answered honestly turning his head so he was facing her. Bonnie giggled her gaze still heavily focused on the night's sky.
"Thank you" She said finally meeting his gaze before giving him a kiss on the cheek. The two laid down on the grass for what it seemed like forever, enjoying the other's company. Bonnie sat up straight looking at the swings in front of her "Me and Grams always use to come here" She smiled remembering her past. Stefan looked up at her before sitting up straight as well. A cool breeze hit Bonnie making Goosebumps appear all over her bare arms and legs "We should get going you're freezing" Stefan said noticing her Goosebumps.
"I'm alright, besides I don't want to go yet" She replied, Stefan just nodded watching her he moved closer to her before wrapping her up in his warm embrace. Bonnie smiled at the sudden warmth he was giving her.
"Why are you hugging me?" She giggled not complaining about it.
Stefan chuckled "I'm not going to let you be cold" He hugged her tighter making the young woman laugh "Sorry I don't have a sweater" He said looking at her. Bonnie looked up at him "It's fine, I like having you close better" She answered honestly making a smile instantly appear on the man's face. Somehow they seemed to have gotten closer; Stefan's face was only inches away from hers. Bonnie smiled inwardly feeling his warm exhales on her face, She slowly closed the gap between pressing her lips onto Stefan's soft ones. Stefan cupped her face kissing her passionately; Bonnie could feel her heartbeat racing as he kissed her. He was driving her insane and he knew it. His slow kiss was pushing her closer to the edge. Bonnie decided to flip the switch on him and proceeded to deepen the kiss, in a second it went from a slow passionate kiss to a fast intense one. Stefan's hands dropped from her face and landed on her waist pulling her to him until she was settled on his lap. Bonnie smiled in the kiss her hands found their way to his hair and her fingers played in his scalp. Stefan could feel the animal inside begging to come out begging to drink the sweet liquid that lied beneath her smooth skin. A growl escaped his lips as he pulled away from the kiss and turned his face. Bonnie panted heavily on the man's lap looking at him. She then turned his face so that she was facing him and could see his vampire form, she had never been able to see it up close and personnel. She slowly studied the features of his face, her small hand ran across his lips and slowly touched his fangs feeling how jagged they were at the bottom she knew it was dangerous but she also knew she could trust Stefan. Stefan sat back and watched her hand move from his fangs to his veins, she shuddered when her soft hand traced the veins that were underneath his eyes. She then looked at his black eyes, blacker than the distance in between the stars. She could easily get lost in both his smoky greyish-green ones as well as his black ones. These ones could consume her whole like a black-hole found in the deep space. She slowly moved closer to him and whispered "You're beautiful" to him before kissing the veins that were underneath his eyes making him go tense. His vampire side of him was screaming at him to drink her dry but he held his composure. Bonnie pulled back looking into his eyes before also placing a kiss on his mouth. It took a while for the vampire to reply back to her kiss but Bonnie didn't move her mouth until he did.
She slowly pulled back and got up from Stefan's lap holding out her hand to gain his, Stefan's breathed and his face changed back into its regular form. The two headed back to Bonnie's house. Stefan brought her back up to her opened window and watched as she climbed into her room. Bonnie turned back and looked at Stefan "Come in" She said not taking no for an answer. Stefan's face twisted up in confusion "What?" Bonnie looked at him before extending a hand to him "I said come in Stefan" She replied leaving the window and going to her door to lock it. Stefan hesitated before climbing in through her window, Bonnie glanced at her clock that read 1:58pm. Stefan stood in her room looking at her, Bonnie laughed at how tense he was "Relax Stefan" She whispered in his ear watching him get more comfortable. Bonnie headed over to her bed lying down waiting for Stefan to do the same. She watched him take off his shoes and lay down beside her on her bed. Bonnie snuggled up to him resting her head on his chest realizing he had no heart-beat.
"Thank you" Stefan whispered "For inviting me in"
Bonnie laughed "No problem" She replied finding him to be very comfortable, suddenly she remembered what her father had said earlier on in the day. She lifted her head up to see Stefan's eyes closed "Stef?" She asked quietly in case he was sleeping the vampire opened his eyes and looked at her "Yeah" he said tiredly.
"I know it's not the best time to ask but, my dad really wants to meet you and-"
Before Bonnie could finish Stefan spoke up interrupting her "Yes I'll meet him, what day?" He asked with a smirk on his face.
"Friday for Dinner" She asked again her head still off of his chest. Bonnie felt Stefan's arms wrap around her pulling her back down to him before hearing 'mhhm' a laugh escaped her lips as she rested her head on his chest once again "I'll take that as a yes" She whispered before closing her eyes and falling asleep in his warm embrace.
