Fourteen hours, that was how long it took for the three to make it from South America, back to Mystic Falls. And it was fourteen long hours for everyone from those who had to travel back, to those who had stayed behind in Mystic Falls. It was four in the morning now and yet everyone was wide awake, refusing to get a wink of sleep until Bonnie was cured.
Damon and Caroline waited in the foyer as the ones that they were waiting for were about to arrive back. Soon Stefan, Abby, and Alekzander stepped through the door looking weary but alert from their travels.
Seeing them Damon breathed out a big sigh of relief. "I've been on this earth for nearly two hundred years and I can honestly say that I have never been gladder than to see your faces right now?"
"And we've never been gladder to be back in Mystic Falls." Stefan returned to his brother.
Abby looked around. "Where's. my daughter?"
Damon replied. "She's upstairs in the guest room trying to get some rest."
"Then let's not waste anytime." Alekzander spoke. "Let's get this damn cure into her."
"Couldn't agree more." Abby added.
"Come on." Damon gestured. "Follow me."
Abby and Alekzander followed Damon up the stairs. Caroline stayed in the foyer where Stefan was.
She threw her arms around Stefan's neck. "Thank God you all made it back okay."
Stefan wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. "I told you over the phone that we would."
"I know that you did." Caroline pulled back to look at him. "But, it was still stressful waiting and hoping that something didn't go wrong to prevent you guys from making it back."
"I know that it's been difficult for Bonnie, and for you and Damon watching her being sick." Stefan said "That's why we wanted to make it back as soon as we could."
The blonde vampire sniffled. "Thank you for going all the way to South America for my best friend."
Stefan shook his head. "You know that you don't have to thank me for that, Caroline, it was the right thing to do."
Caroline went on. "Yes it was, but you went into the jungle and risked yourself where there were creatures such a poisonous snakes and dart frogs."
"I'm a vampire and not human remember." Stefan's tone was slightly amused. "I doubt that those creatures poison could truly do harm to me or least it wouldn't have killed me."
"Right." Caroline muttered. "But, it's still a big task in what you took on for her."
"Well, she is Bonnie the one who has risked herself and sacrificed for all of us. We would all be dead if it weren't for her and she has even died for some of us at times." Stefan commented. "So, she deserves to have people in her life that would go to the same lengths to save her, who will bust our asses to make sure that she lives. If it took a Nasa mission to the moon and back to get her that cure, that's what we would do because of who she is."
A few silent tears ran down Caroline's cheeks, they were tears of joy and relief. "Absolutely correct, Bon does deserve friends in her life that will bust their asses for her and that's what we all have become."
Reaching out Stefan wiped away the tears from his girlfriend's cheeks. "Everything is going to be alright, you don't have to worry anymore."
Caroline said. "Yeah."
Stefan repeated. "Yeah."
She gave her boyfriend a smile. "Okay."
"I'm going up to take a shower." Stefan gestured. "Just a real quick one to wash away the dirt and the grime from hiking in the jungle."
"I'll just be waiting down here." Caroline nodded. "Until I get the word that the cure has worked on her."
"I'll come back down to wait with you after my shower." Stefan let her know.
He gave Caroline a quick kiss on the lips before heading upstairs to his room. Caroline moved into the next room and took a seat, waiting with baited breath for her best friend to get the cure.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Meanwhile, upstairs Damon entered into Bonnie's bedroom followed by Abby and Alekzander. His eyes went immediately to the bed where Bonnie was.
"Look, Bon-Bon." Damon said to her. "The calvary has arrived."
Upon seeing Damon with her mother and Alekzander, Bonnie sat up in the bed and as relieved the rest of them back been at getting back safely with the cure Bonnie was the most relieved and grateful of them all.
"Hey, guys." Bonnie said to them all. "Perfect timing."
Abby rushed over to her daughter's bedside. "Oh, how are you feeling right now?"
Bonnie answered. "I'm still in pain but now that you're here I suddenly feel better."
Abby took her hand for support. "We just have to wait a little while longer so that Alekzander can get the cure together."
"That's right, Bonnie." Alekzander spoke. "It will take a few minutes, ten minutes tops for me to mix the potion. Do you think that you can hold on for a moment longer?"
"I think that I can manage that?" Bonnie directed.
Damon questioned. "What's next?"
Alekzander replied. "I grind up the flower plant into dust and then I'm going to need a few drops of your blood. I'll be able to mix the potion together then."
Damon returned. "Fine, let's get started."
While Abby stayed by Bonnie's bedside, Damon and Alekzander moved over to the dresser, where Alekzander pulled out all of the things that he would need to mix the potion together. Alekzander took a small cup and set it to the side. Then got the ziplock bag that contained the flower plant.
Damon spotted the plant and it was a flower and a plant that he had never seen before and one that he didn't recognize. It must had indeed been a very rare type of plant. He watched as Alekzander went to work on the potion.
Putting the plant into the cup Alekzander grinded it up until it was dust. Then he turned to Damon.
"I need your blood now." Alekzander let him know.
"Sure thing." Damon mumbled. Extending his fangs, he bit into his wrist and held the wound over the cup where he blood dripped on top of the crushed up flower.
"That's enough." Alekzander said after half a minute.
Damon pulled back his wrist from the cup allowing his wound to heal up.
His blood started to have some sort of chemical reaction and Damon watched in great interested as the blood and the plant mixture boiled a little in the cup. This happened until the mixture settled down into a color between green and red in liquid form.
"It's ready." Alekzander commented. "Take this over to her."
"Will do." Damon grabbed the cup and approached the bed.
Bonnie turned her attention from her mom to him.
Damon stopped next to her. "Time to take your medicine, Bon-Bon!" He held out the cup to her.
Taking the cup, Bonnie looked at the liquid in it and hesitated for just a moment.
"Drink up." Alekzander told her.
"Here goes." Bonnie took a deep breath and swallowed down the potion in a few gulps.
"Well?" Damon spoke after she had finished the potion.
Between the bitterness of the plant and the metalic taste of Damon's blood the taste of the potion wasn't too appealing and made Bonnie frown up her face. "Yuck, this is gross."
The Greek witch stated. "Yes, I know unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to make that stuff taste better."
Abby almost smiled because it reminded her of a time when Bonnie was small at the age of six, where she had remembered giving her cough medicine at one time and Bonnie had complained about the taste much like how she did now. It was one of the handful of times where she had been able to spend quality times with her child while she was still a young child.
Abby pointed out. "It will be worth it once it makes you feel better. Sometimes we have to consume gross tasting things in order for our bodies to heal and not feel sick anymore."
"That's true." Bonnie agreed.
Damon had one main concern. "Feeling better yet?" Even though he knew that she had just consumed the potion.
She waited a minute before answering. "No...actually I'm not yet."
"Should we be concerned?" Abby wondered.
Alekzander replied. "We have to wait for twenty to thirty minutes, if she feels better in that time span then we will now that it will work."
Damon didn't want to think about the worse case where the cure didn't work he remained focus on the positive. And they waited in that room nervously to see if the potion would take effect. Damon paced the room every couple of minutes and Bonnie kept looking at the clock as the hours ticked by.
Around the twenty minute mark Bonnie felt the change in her body. As by the magic of the potion her conditions improved and she no longer felt sick.
"Guys! I think that it worked!" Bonnie announced.
"Really!" Damon stopped pacing and perked up.
"Really." Bonnie confirmed.
Abby became extra hopeful. "The pain?"
Bonnie let her mother know. "Completely gone, thankfully I'm not in pain anymore."
Alekzander added. "And the fever."
"That went away, too." Bonnie said to them.
"Let me see." Abby touched a hand to her forehead. "She's right her skin no longer feels fevered, it's at the normal temperature of what a human body should be."
"Told you!" Bonnie beamed.
Damon felt the rest of the weight and the worry of her being ill and cursed lift from his heart and shoulders. "So, worked! She's cured right?" He directed this at Alekzander.
Alekzander returned. "Yes, Yes she is cured. Congrats, the hex has been broken."
That brought a smile to everyone's face who was in the room.
"Thank the heavens." Abby sniffed. "For a minute I was really afraid that I was going to lose you, baby girl."
Reaching out Bonnie hugged her mother. "Aww, Mom, I'm going to be fine now that's what matters."
Alekzander added. "Something that we are all glad to see and hear."
"Hell yeah!" Damon exclaimed in agreement.
Bonnie gave a quick smile to Damon before turning to Alekzander. "Thank you yet again Alek, for your part in saving me. I would still be sick right now it you didn't know what to do and if you, my mom, and Stefan weren't willing to go all of the way to South America for me."
Walking over to the bed Alekzander gave her a brief, friendly hug. "You're worth all of it, Bonnie and more."
Standing back half way across the room Damon observed Bonnie interacting with Abby and Alekzander, watching with a warm expression on his face and so grateful on the inside that the woman that he was in love with was going to be okay.
Bonnie's eyes shifted from Alekzander to Damon would stood across the room watching her. The warm expression that she saw on his face filled her with the same type of warm feeling. "What are you doing all the way over there, Salvatore."
Damon told her. "Trying not to be rude and interrupt your moment with those two." He spoke of Abby and Alekzander.
"How nice and polite of you." Bonnie commented. "But wouldn't you like a hug from me too? This is the perfect moment to spread the love afterall."
"Come on, Bennett." Damon grinned. "You know that would never in a million years pass up on the opportunity to get a hug from you."
"Okay, then I guess you will be getting a hug from me then!" Bonnie exclaimed.
Damon gestured. "Should I come over there?"
Bonnie held up a hand. "Better yet you stay over there and I'll come to you. I'm quite tired of being in this bed and now that I'm no longer sick I don't plan on staying in it until it turns night time again."
Damon's grin grew wider. "Come over here then."
The green eyed witch climbed out of the bed and once she got to her feet noticed that the potion had allowed her to regain and renew her normal strength that she had before she got sick. She no longer had that weak, feverish feeling. She took a step in Damon's direction her eyes remaining on him.
Abby and Alekzander exchanged curious looks at seeing the vampire and the witch interact.
Similar to how he did when he walked into the kitchen and had seen the pancakes that she had made, realizing that she had made it back from the 1994 prison world and had returned to reunite with him, Damon held out his arms offering his hug to her.
And similar to how she did when she returned from 1994, Bonnie ran to him, jumping his arms and wrapping her legs around his waist.
The blued eyed vampire caught her in his arms letting out a joyful chuckle.
"I'm grateful that you were here to guide me through that damn curse." Bonnie let him know.
"You're a fighter, little witch." Damon returned to her. "I knew that you could make it through this and come out on top!"
Bonnie just grinned from ear to ear staying in his arms for as long as she could.
Over by the bed Abby observed the exchange and the embrace between her daughter and the dark haired vampire. Her eyes told her that perhaps there was more than friendship going on between the two, because friends didn't hug the way that they were at the moment. But, her mind thought that maybe she was reading too much into it.
Either way she was just thankful that he child was no longer going to be sick.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Bonnie hadn't put one body part in that bed every since she had gotten out of it in the early morning hours that she had been cured. It was now almost late evening. But, Damon figured that she couldn't be blamed. It must have been natural for someone who had to spend days in bedrest like she had to, to want to be up and about as much as they could once they felt better and no longer needed best rest.
Alekzander stayed for hours to make sure that the cure was really set in, but left in the early afternoon of the day because now that he was back home after his travels to South America, he had some important things to do related to his job.
Abby stayed around longer, spending time with Bonnie until that evening and then told Bonnie that she had to go. So, Bonnie walked her mother to the door to see her out and came back a few minutes later where Damon was in the living room.
"Hey." Damon said upon spotting her again, he had spent almost every moment of the day with her since early that morning.
Bonnie gave him a slight smile. "Hey."
"So, what's up with you right now?" Damon questioned.
"What's up with me is that I'm starving." Bonnie let him know.
"Are you now." Damon mumbled.
"I am." Bonnie muttered. "Guess that there is something about being sick and then feeling all better that works up my appetite."
Damon's lips curved. "You're starving, what would you like for dinner?"
Bonnie shifted on her feet. "I'm thinking pizza with all of my favorite toppings."
"Cool, where would you like to order it from?" Damon wondered.
"Actually, I'm thinking about a homemade pizza made here." Bonnie commented.
Damon said "Oh."
Bonnie went on. "Yeah, you know sometimes the stuff that you get eating out at places is just not as delicious as homemade food."
"I agree one hundred percent." Damon stated. "Even though I'm a vamp."
She chuckled. "So, we agree to make homemade pizza."
He got up from the spot that he had been sitting at. "Sure, we have all of the ingredients here."
She returned. "We better get started with as hungry as I am."
"Lead the way." Damon outstretched his hand for her to go before him.
She moved in front of him and headed towards the kitchen with Damon following behind. When they reached the kitchen they came up upon an interesting sight.
Stefan and Caroline were leaning up against the counter, near the sink having a rather heavy makeout. They were fully clothed, however Stefan was currently in a liplock with Caroline as if he would never get to kiss her again.
Bonnie watched on in amusement before clearing her throat to alert the couple.
"Really, guys." Damon said with a dramatic tone.
Suddenly Stefan and Caroline pulled apart from each other as if the others skin was laced with vervain. Embrassement at getting caught and looking like they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
"Well, this is awkward." Bonnie said under her breath.
Stefan just gave a mixture between a sheepish and sly grin.
Caroline looked like a woman who was about to blush at the moment. "Uh, hi you two."
"Hi, Care." Bonnie delivered with an arched brow.
Damon folded his arms over his chest. "Don't tell me that the two of you were about to have sex in here because that would be so wrong."
"Of course we weren't about to have sex." Stefan directed. "I was just giving a little kiss to my girlfriend."
"You call shoving your tongues down each other's throats a little kiss?" Damon snorted.
Besides him Bonnie playfully slapped Damon on the arm. "Don't be like that towards your younger brother."
"It's fine, Bonnie. We all know that my brother has the maturity of a high school teenager sometimes." Stefan joked.
"Hey, I resent that." Damon returned tone lighthearted.
The younger Salvatore shrugged. "It's the truth."
The blonde vampire gathered herself from the embarrassment of being caught making out with her boyfriend to speak. "So, what brings you two in here?"
Bonnie replied to her blonde friend. "I'm feeling very hungry right now, so we came in here to make dinner."
Damon added. "Yeah, a homemade pizza."
"Would you guys like some too?" Bonnie questioned the couple. "We could make it a into a large."
"Actually." Caroline glanced at Stefan. "As good as that sounds, Stefan and I have somewhere that we have to be right now."
"We do?" Stefan blinked as if clueless.
Caroline gave him a look hinting him to play along with her.
Stefan caught on and played along. "Oh, that's right we do have somewhere to be."
Damon narrowed his eyes at them. "And where is that exactly?"
"To the store." Caroline answered. "There are some items that we must get in town."
"We should probably head out now before that store closes. We'll leave you here to prepare your dinner with just the two of you." Stefan finished.
"Alright, if you say so." Bonnie muttered.
Caroline put her hand on Stefan's arm. "We better go now."
Stefan agreed "We better."
"Bye Bonnie, Bye Damon." Caroline said
"We'll be seeing you later." Stefan said
Bonnie waved. "Bye, guys,"
Damon gave a single nod of his head. "Yeah, later."
Caroline took Stefan by the wrist and the pair quickly left the kitchen.
Waiting a moment, Bonnie let out a laugh.
Turning to her Damon wondered. "Mind telling me what is so funny."
The witch stated. "Ummm you know that they aren't really going to the store, right."
All that Damon said was. "Hmmm"
"It was just a cover story that they came up with on the spot." Bonnie went on. "Knowing them they are going out somewhere to find a place to have sex."
Damon held up a hand. "Whoa, there."
Bonnie looked at him. "What, I'm just saying that with the way that they were going at each other just now, that is what is most likely on their minds."
"I just don't want to think about my brother having sexual relations with anyone okay." Damon grimaced at the thought.
"I think that it's kind of sweet for the two of them to be that way." Bonnie stated.
"How so?" Damon arched a brow.
"Because." Bonnie gestured with her shoulder. "It shows that they still have that passion in their relationship, even though they have been going steady for years now."
Damon leaned against the counter that was in the middle of the floor. "Obviously they are into each other."
Bonnie returned. "They really are and I'm just happy for Caroline because Stefan makes her happy and all I want for her is happiness."
"Vampire Barbie does seem happy with my little bro, no doubt." Damon agreed.
"Aren't you happy for your brother?" Bonnie asked him. "I mean Caroline makes him happy in return."
"Eh, I guess that I am." Damon shrugged. "I'm not always overly concerned with my brother's love life these days."
Bonnie cocked her head to the side. "Come on, Damon there's no need to pretend that you aren't happy with seeing your brother happy."
Damon said "Well, Caroline does seem to make him less broody and I'm all for a less broody Stefan."
She took it as Damon's way of saying that he was happy for his brother's relationship with Caroline. "Anyway I get where Caroline is coming from. You know that passion that you feel in your relationship with you date someone especially at the beginning."
He eyed her from across the counter. "So, you speak from experience on having passion in the relationships that you have been in?"
She nodded. "Of course I do."
"Really?" Damon mumbled. "And what guy did you once have this 'passion' with?"
Bonnie answered. "Even though I haven't seen him in a minute, there was Jeremy."
Damon snorted at the answer.
Bonnie took notice of his response. "Is there something amusing about my answer?"
"Is Jeremy the only guy that you ever dated or something?" Damon asked.
"No." Bonnie replied. "I've dated other men, a guy or two briefly while you were taking a nap in a coffin."
"And out of those guys, Jeremy is the one that you would pick to describe a passionate relationship in your life." Damon muttered.
"The other two guys were more casual relationships and nothing serious." Bonnie pointed out. "I picked Jeremy as an example because he was my first love."
Damon commented. "A first love doesn't equal a passionate love all of the time."
Bonnie folded her arms over her chest. "How do you figure that you know what type of relationship that I had with Jeremy and what it consisted of?"
"Because." Damon had a sour expression on his face although he didn't realize it. He wasn't fond of hearing Bonnie talk about her romantic relationship with another man, even if that man was an ex. "What you have with him was in your high school years, he was a high school boy. He couldn't have had enough experience to show you what real passion is. No teenage boy really does."
"So, you're saying that you have to be a certain age to know what a real passionate relationship is like?" Bonnie asked curious. "No, one you think could have that type of relationship in their high school years?"
"What I'm saying is that teenagers are so filled with so much hormones and so little experience, they never had a relationship with anyone before, so when they have their first one they think that in their little teenage minds that the relationship that they have is some type of 'true' love." Damon explained. "Then they grow up and mature and realize the little relationship that they had in high school wasn't as grand as they thought that it used to be."
"Fine." Bonnie sighed. "Maybe you do have a point."
Damon smirked. "You know that I have a point, Bon. As sweet as your high school relationship was, I'm sure that the munchkin, brat known as little Gilbert didn't quite know what he was doing with you, I mean how could he."
Bonnie rolled her eyes. "I get it but can you stop insulting my Ex boyfriend please."
"Just saying." Damon directed "You'll know what I'm talking about once you have a real man to show you what passion truly is."
"Oh, so are you offering?" Bonnie wondered.
"Am I offering what?" Damon questioned.
She leaned over the counter on the opposite side that he was leaning over on, so that they were facing each other closer now. "Offering to be the man to show me what real passion is."
He blinked at the sudden turn in the conversation and how she had turned it around on him.
She took notice of his silence. "Cat got your tongue Salvatore?"
Damon swallowed. "No, the cat doesn't have my tongue."
Bonnie kept her eyes on him, watching for his reaction. "From the way that you are talking you seem to believe that you are the type of man to show a woman what passion."
"Damn right I do." Damon said "I've made sure to spend my immortal time on this earth to work on my expertise of knowing how to please a woman."
He put emphasis on 'please' and they both knew what it meant and Bonnie couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be pleased by him. "Like I asked before are you offering something to me?"
"Do you want me to offer you something?" Damon looked her up and down. "Bennett?"
The room suddenly became heavy in silence as the two of them stared each other down across that counter. Exchanging major eye sex and looks that hinted at heated desire. They stared at each other, each refusing to look away and both of them waiting for the other to make a move or to say something.
Then Damon's phone rang breaking into the moment and causing both to look away from each other as Damon reached for his phone. Damon picked it up and answered it, it was a phone call from Alaric.
Watching as he had his phone call with Alaric, Bonnie felt some heat come to her face in the form a a blush at the intense moment that they had just exchanged.
After a couple of minutes, Damon ended his conversation with Alaric and returned his attention back to the witch. He would have liked it if they could go back to that moment that they had right before Alaric had called but he knew that the moment was broken.
He cleared his throat. "So,let's get to work on that pizza shall we."
"We shall." Bonnie agreed.
They had dinner together both thinking about that intense moment that they had, had but neither seemed to have the courage to mention it to the other so they just let it slide.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Later, that night the two of them moved to the back patio outside where they sat down looking at the stars in the clear night sky.
"Beautiful night." Bonnie commented.
"Yeah." Damon spoke. "You can see all of the stars perfectly."
"No, lights to block them out like in the city," Bonnie mentioned.
He glanced at her. "Why don't you stay here for little while longer?"
She returned. "You would like me to stay here at the boarding house?"
"A little while longer." Damon repeated. "I know that you are all better now and everything. But, there's no need for you to rush home. We could still hang out here together."
Bonnie told him. "I have a house that I do need to get back to, but I can manage to stay here for a day or two longer."
Damon exclaimed. "I'll take that."
They sat together in silence for a few minutes watching the sky and enjoying each other's company.
Then a thought came across Bonnie's mind. "Could I ask you a question right now, Damon?"
"Go ahead shoot." He gave her the clear.
"Ever think about what would happen if there wasn't a cure to the hex that I was put under?" Bonnie questioned in a quiet tone.
This made Damon frown in confusion. "Why would you ask me that?"
Bonnie paused. "It's just that if there wasn't a cure then I would have a time limit on my life and be dead in weeks time and that really would have a change on everything."
Damon looked at her. "I don't understand why you are mentioning this. There not being a cure doesn't matter because it turns out that there was one and that you're no longer cursed and that you won't die. That is what matters the most right now."
"True and you know that I'm more grateful than anyone to be cured." Bonnie said "But, let's just stick with me for a minute."
"Okay, I'm sticking with you." Damon rubbed at the back of his neck.
"If there wasn't a cure and it turns out that I was about to die then that would change everything." Bonnie added. "But your life would be impacted the most."
The blue eyed vampire furrowed his brow. "Of course my life would be impacted you know that I would hate for something to happen to you and the last thing on earth that I want is for you to get hurt."
She eyed him. "Yes, I'm well aware of the fact that you are always concerned for my well being and life and I know that you care but that's not what I meant by you being impacted."
Damon asked. "Then what do you mean by it?"
"We know about the link to Elena…...and what would need to happen in order for her to wake up." Bonnie stated. "While I was sick did it ever cross your mind that if there wasn't a cure that Elena would have awakened in a month's time?"
"We really don't need to go there with that subject." Damon grumbled.
"I think that we do especially if it's going to be a thought every time I'm in a life or death situation." Bonnie commented softly. "So, did it cross she cross your mind while I was sick and on the verge of having to fight for my life?"
"Nope, Elena never once crossed my mind." Damon let her know. "My one and only concern was making sure that you got better so that we wouldn't lose you."
Bonnie said to him. "I believe you on that and that you truly wanted for me to get better. But what if it was beyond our control and I couldn't get better. You could have had a happy reunion with her in a month, instead of having to wait sixty months or whatever."
If only she knew the truth about the whole situation. He sighed. "Bonnie I'm not going to tell you that I would be happy to reunite with Elena at your expense because that would be a shitty thing for me to tell you and that's not how I feel."
But Bonnie still pressed. "It's fine, you know. You can be honest with me and tell me that you would be happy to see her again so soon and that you would be glad to have her back with a chance to have the life with her that you wanted. And I don't think that, that would erase you caring out about. You can tell me the truth, I promise to you that my feelings won't be hurt by it."
"You want me to be honest…." Damon paused himself. "Honestly yeah at very first I would be happy that Elena would wake up and I would be thrilled to have her back."
Bonnie nodded. "Okay."
"At very first." Moving from where he sat, Damon moved in front of where Bonnie was sitting and kneeled down until he was eye level with her. ""In the very first moments right after she was awake, yes I would be happy, that would be a natural reaction I think that we all would have to Elena waking up. But, you know what would happen after the thrill of those very first moments wore off?"
Looking at the spot that he was kneeling at Bonnie shook her head.
"I would realize that you were dead and that I had lost you. Then I would start to lose my mind because the thought of anything happening to you would drive me insane. Then I wouldn't be able to give my full attention to Elena being back, because I would be hunting down every witch on the planet to see if there was a way that you could be brought back to life." Damon told her with sincere feeling. "And I would mourn for you a ton. I would become one miserable son of a bitch to hang around because all that I would think about was hurting from you not being here anymore."
"And I wouldn't be the same man that I am with you in my life right now. Which means that I would never have complete happiness, not even with Elena. Which may surprise you to hear me say this, but that how's important you are and how big of a piece you are to my life." Damon confessed. "I would be very sad because it would feel like a huge piece of my life is gone and one that I could never get back. Whatever reunion that I could get with Elena wouldn't make up for you being gone and wouldn't satisfy me. I would really, really, really miss you, which is why I would do anything to make sure that you stay alive and safe. I want you to live for a very long, long time and I hope that you do. So that, Bonnie is how I honestly feel. I don't want her back if it means losing you."
Bonnie found herself taken aback and extremely touched by his confession. "Wow, I was just checking, whatever answer I was expecting from you I don't know if I was quite expecting one like that. You always manage to surprise me. I appreciate your honesty."
"Yeah, well you have the ability to bring that type of stuff out of me." Damon gave her a genuine smile. "So, are we good on this subject?"
"Yeah, Damon." She smiled back at him. "We're good!"

Hello, Thank you for your support and reviews as always! For those of you who want to know I think that the confession from Damon telling Bonnie that he is in love with her will come the chapter after the next one. So, it's coming soon as I get the update after this out of the way. Again apologize for any spelling or grammar errors.
