The awkward feeling faded quickly and they were able to sink into to a good comfortable conversation.

"It's slimy." Stefan said flatly

"It'll slide down the throat easier." Bonnie said as she took another bite from the oriental box

"That's what he said." Stefan said

Bonnie choked on her food and nearly had it coming back up. She bent over and choked while laughing.

"That…is not funny." She said while still trying to breathe

"Then stop laughing." He chuckled

Bonnie hit him in the chest.

"I can't believe you said that." She said calming down

Stefan shrugged and gave her a wolfish grin. She just shook her head and nudged him. As they got back to the loft, Stefan froze. Bonnie looked back when she noticed he hadn't followed.

"You can come up." She said

"I don't know…" he said

"Fine, I'll have to watch Stephen King's IT all by myself."Bonnie said taunting him

He scowled at her knowing that she'd more than likely give herself nightmares and scream because of that movie. Even he didn't like clown all that much and Pennywise had razor sharp teeth on top of all his horrifying glory. He sighed and followed her into the elevator. She jumped up and down ecstatically. He just rolled his eyes and wrapped an arm around her shoulders to stop her.

"You are so easy to please sometimes." He said

"Shhhh." She said putting a finger to her lips "Don't tell everyone. You'd be giving away my secret."

He scoffed and shook his head. As the elevator opened up, she walked out into the living room and flung off her shoes.

"Where's the roommate?" he asked

"Probably still working." She said

Bonnie flipped her hair up into a ponytail.

"Hey," she said grabbing Stefan's attention, which was wandering "Thanks. It was great to see you today."

He smiled at her in turn and sat down on the couch. If his gaze had lingered any longer he might have seen her blush a little. She put the movie in and sat down beside him. Subconsciously, she leaned her head down on his shoulder as she watched.

"Tell me, why did you want to watch a killer clown again? I thought you didn't like to be scared."

"Well, this thing isn't going to come after me. I haven't watched a scary movie in a long time let alone hung out with anyone. Even if it's scary, I don't mind watching it. Plus, Justin got this not me." She said

"Right, blame Justin, got it." Stefan said

"yup." She said

In the next second she jumped, screamed, and landed in Stefan's lap. After a few seconds she got up and shut it off.

"Okay, nevermind."

"It barely started." Stefan said flatly

Bonnie just shook her head and sat back down. She saw he was looking at the large crystal ball on the coffee table. As she looked at it, she thought she could see something gin it. Something that wasn't any reflection. She just dismissed it.

"It's just for looks you know." She said "I don't use it."

"Ah." He said

"We came across this magic shop and went inside. He decided that we just had to have it. He's really gotten into the whole me being a witch." She said

Stefan nodded deep in thought. Bonnie knew that look.

"Oh no. He is not evil or anything of the sort so, get that idea right out of your head." She said

"I didn't say anything!" he exclaimed

"But I know that look. You get it whenever you feel shifty about someone. I've seen it when Elena would get close to someone and you'd go all barbarian." She said

"Barbarian? What?"

"Yup."

Stefan just shook his head and propped his feet up on the coffee table like h owned the place. Bonnie now paced, but didn't take her eyes off of him.

"He is more afraid of you anyways."

Stefan smirked like he was proud of it. Bonnie just shook her head in confusion. He was a bit different than she thought and she didn't know why.

"Have you been drinking human blood?" she asked

"No!" he said completely shocked

"Well, I was just asking. You're really different from the last time I saw you." She said defensively

"So are you and you don't hear me complaining."

"You complain? HA! That was always Damon's…thing."

They were both silent for several moments. Bonnie sat down beside him.

"I'm sorry." She said "I wasn't trying to compare-"

"It's fine." He said

It sounded anything, but fine though.

"Life sucks." She said

"A bit." She agreed "I should go."

"Mhm. I'm tired and you're on my bed." She said

"Right. Goodnight Bonnie." He said

"Goodnight." She said as she just shifted and laid down.

"It's okay, you know." He said before walking out "I don't like admitting that I miss him too. There's no shame in it. I'll see you soon."

She nodded and closed her eyes. As she heard the door close she turned over. She started drifting in and out of sleep when there was a knock at the door.

"Ugh. Stefan, you didn't leave anything here." She groaned

She took her time getting up and just slid her feet toward the door. It was great that she had both a front door and an elevator. Opening the door she froze. She stumbled back a little.

"Bonnie!"

"No," she breathed "Christian."

"Did you think I could forget about you?" he said

His silver earrings that lined his ears glinted and he just grinned at her in all his black attired terrifying glory. Bonnie shook. Glancing sideways, she snatched up the shotgun and pointed it at him. Her hands shook slightly.

"Get out of here or I will shoot you." She said

"I'll just heal, you know that above anyone."

"Not with wooden bullets."

"You won't shoot." He said unconvinced

She cocked the gun and he just took a step back.

"Try me." She snapped

Then before the thought of shooting the gun crossed her mind, Christian flew backwards. Bonnie didn't see it until Stefan stopped in front of him. He grabbed Christian by the throat and held him up.

"Stay away from her or I'll kill you."

Christian only laughed at him.

"I can't stay away from a little thing like that. She's like siren calling me." He said "She wants me too or didn't she tell you about us."

Before Christian could say anything more, he was flung backwards.

"Enough!" Bonnie screamed nearly in tears

Her eyes were different. Really different. Stefan looked at Christian who just grinned then jumped for the nearest window. The hallway was quiet.

"Please don't leave me alone." Bonnie said ever so quietly

Stefan nodded not directly looking at her. As he came inside, he took the gun from her and put it back in its rightful place. Bonnie hadn't moved. He picked her up and sat down on the couch with her curled up with him. He'd talk to her in the morning. There was something missing from the whole Christian thing. That was for tomorrow though.

"That was scarier than the clown." She mumbled
