A/N: One chap left! Aww Damon calling Liz his friend and not killing her! See Bonnie, if you would just be his friend things would be perfect! lol

Elena sighed, running a hand through her long hair. They stood in the jewelry store, pretending to check rings out as they gave Damon some time to calm down. She looked up to Stefan who seemed to be deep in thought. Damon was not too happy about the stunt they pulled and Bonnie, the only one that was keeping him somewhat human, was not too happy with Damon. Maybe they really messed up this time. Tricking him to tell her what he did to Bonnie was childish. She should've just went up to her best friend and told her herself.

"We probably shouldn't have done that...what if he goes off and does something really awful. You know how he gets when he gets really mad."

Stefan nodded, "Yeah...but it's best that she knew that most of her feelings for him were because of his blood."

"How can we be so sure it was?" Elena asked, "At the beach yesterday she seemed to be getting along with him...even before she took his blood. Maybe we just made things worst. I mean, we did say we wanted them to get along."

She watched him sigh and look down, thinking about what they did. If he had to second guess what they did then it wasn't good.

"What if he kills someone to get revenge?"

"Now, now, now, Elena. I'm not going to kill anyone. That's too obvious. I want you to not see it coming." Stefan and Elena turned to see Damon looking at them with dark eyes. His arms were crossed over his chest and his mouth was a tight thin line. He examined them both, his gaze giving off a menace vibe. "I was thinking more along the lines of locking you two in a vault together till you learned to mind your own business."

"We would if you weren't so bent on having Bonnie." Stefan replied. "Can you blame us for worrying? Especially after what you did to Bree?"

Damon uncrossed his arms and stalked towards him, lowering his voice to a threatening tone. "Bree? Bree tried to have me murdered. Bree was nothing. Bree was weak..."

"Bonnie tried to have you murdered too. Plenty of times. She's probably plotting on how to kill you right now, Damon." Elena stated. "How long before you get bored and think she's 'nothing' and 'weak' too? You are not going to control any more of my friends."

Damon smirked, looking over to her. "You're forgetting one little detail...Bonnie isn't wetting her panties over me like the rest of those stupid girls and witches. Bonnie can handle herself...and I can handle Bonnie."

Elena glared at him, not the least intimidated at him hovering over her. "I wanted you guys to be friends. But not like this..."

Damon threw his hands up in surrender. "Oh, Elena, you and your mixed signals. You have got to be one of the most frustrating person I've ever had the displeasure of crossing paths with..."

"Kat-" He quickly put a hand over her mouth, shaking his finger at her.

"Don't mention that slut in this holy place." He warned, dropping his hand from her mouth.

"It's a mall, not a church." Elena replied.

He shrugged, backing away from both of them. "Now as you know I'm not gonna just sit back and let the witch get away and throw a little temper tantrum. I was promised a whole day together and no one breaks a date with Damon Salvatore." He looked around. "Now...I know what store she's at. You guys can follow if you want because I'm pretty sure this might get messy."

Stefan frowned, "What're you gonna do?"

Damon grinned. "I'm gonna grab her," He put his hands up like he was holding onto some one's shoulders. "And shake her like crazy." He started moving his hands back and forth, pretending like he was choking some one. "That'll make her realize she's being stupid."

"You're insane." Elena said.

He shrugged, "Or I can just give her that little speech Stefan gave Katherine after he and her finished their date at that party...how'd it go, Stefan? Something about how you couldn't get enough of her and you love her?"

"Shut up, Damon." Stefan snapped.

"I mean it worked pretty good considering she wanted absolutely nothing to do with me that night!"

"We're going with you." Elena spoke up, mostly to make him stop talking about the time Stefan was with Katherine. It may have been over a hundred of years ago, but no one likes hearing about their lover's first love. "I wanna make sure you don't trick Bonnie again."

"Fine." Damon turned and made his way out of the jewelry store, Elena and Stefan close behind. The detector began going off, causing two mall cops to quickly stop them.

"May we check you?" One asked, looking at Elena. She gave him a skeptical look but nodded. He went to pat her jeans, stopping when he felt a lump. "Please empty your pockets."

She did as he said, gasping when she pulled out a huge sapphire necklace. She looked to Damon, noticing the huge grin on his face. "You...!"

"We have one here too." The other cop said, pulled a diamond necklace from Stefan's hoodie. "You two are coming with us."

Damon let out a low whistle. "Wow...Saint Stefan and Elena are thieves? Well spank me and call me Suzy...this is a shocker!"

"You framed us!"

"Now...I could you know, bail you out or something now but what lesson would you learn?" Damon continued. "You both have my cell. Call me once you get to jail. Stefan," He looked at his brother, "Don't drop the soap. And Elena, this is pretty much going on your clean record! I'm kinda disappointed in you! Just because the celebrities steal doesn't mean you should too!" He gave her sad look. "Well! I'm gonna let you guys go with these gentlemen of the law! Seeya!"

"Damon!" Stefan yelled, but his brother completely ignored him. He let out a low growl as the cops proceeded to put cuffs on him and Elena. Well...at least Damon didn't kill anyone.

Bonnie sat along the bench across from the kids' play place. She was going to leave until she remembered that she drove here with him. She hated him, so very very much. She was going to call Caroline and ask for a ride back with her but then she decided she'd rather be eaten alive by rapid bunnies than hear Caroline talk about the dance or something else she cared absolutley nothing about.

Then there was Stefan and Elena. Sure she could go with them, but then that ride would be filled with 'I told you Damon is bad news' or 'Bonnie, I did it for you. He's bad news.'. And yes, they were both right. Damon Salvatore was not to be trusted, but these past two days were fun...even though she hated to admit it. He was the only guy that took real interest in her. Elena always had some one and Caroline had a lot of guys after her. But now Bonnie had a homicidal vampire that would not leave her alone. Even though it was not a good thing, it kind of made her happy.

"Attention shoppers! Attention shoppers! I would like you all to look to your left, now your right, then your left again! If you see a young lady sitting by herself by the kids play place, look at her!"

Bonnie was shook out of her thoughts when she heard Damon's voice come out the speakers around the mall. "What the hell is he doing now?"

"Bonnie Bennett! I know you're a little mad...ok fuck, you're beyond pissed. And you know it takes a lot for me to apologize so I'm doing this publicly so you can see how I realized how much I fucked up...What?...What do you mean I can't cuss over these speakers?...I don't give a fuck if there are kids listening!"

Bonnie placed her head in her hands, feeling her face began to get hot as many people stopped to look at her. How the hell did he manage to get on the speaker? Oh wait, he's a vampire he probably forced his way on it! She felt some one standing next to her, too afraid to look up because it might be him.

"Bonnie?"

She looked up to see a familiar face from school. Jacob Kennedy, another football player who she occasionally talked to. He must've heard the announcement...well everyone heard the announcement.

"H-hey, Jacob..."

"Did you know there's a guy on the P.A. talking about you?" He asked, sitting down next to her. "Everyone's looking...having problems with an ex?"

She shook her head, "He's not my ex...he's not even a friend! Did you drive here? I need a ride home...like now!"

"Hey! Boy with the pants way too tight for your body looking like a reject from the Jonas Brothers!"

"Oh no..." Bonnie placed her head back in her hands as Damon continued to talk out the speakers. He was watching them and didn't sound too happy about Jacob being there. Jacob looked around, confused.

"Step away from the girl. Do you not hear me trying to apologize? Swooping in to get rebound sex ain't cool so back off."

"Maybe you should go..." Bonnie said, looking up to Jacob. "He's got issues. And it's best if you just do as he says right now. Because I'm gonna have to set him on fire if he touches you."

"Ok." Jacob got up and looked down at her, "Bonnie, you have been listening way too much to that Eminem featuring Rihanna song...setting him on fire? Really?"

Before she could reply, he walked away. Great, now he probably thought she was a complete freak now too. She was going to kill Damon for not only tricking and lying to her but for all the embarassment she's suffered these past days.

"So...did you like the apology?" Damon asked, smiling as he finally met up with Bonnie. He watched as she shot him a dark look. "Ok...maybe it wasn't the best but look." He pulled out two diamond and sapphire necklaces. "Bought it for you."

Bonnie's jaw dropped as she looked down at the jewelry, "Trying to win me with gifts now?"

"Depends...is it working?"

She shook her head and turned her back to him. There was no way she was going to just forget about what he's done. That completely betrayed her trust. Now how was she to know if what she was feeling was the blood or just her own feelings?

"Oh come on, Bonnie! I got Stefan and Elena arrested just to get these things and apologize to you! Does that mean nothing?"

"You what?" She looked at him in shock, "Stefan and Elena are in jail? Are you crazy?"

"They were ruining everything!" He replied, pouting. "If they would've just minded..."

"Come on! We have to get them out!" Bonnie sighed, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the exit. She couldn't believe the things he was doing to get some alone time with her.

"Aww...you're holding my hand! I'm blushing!"

She turned to give him an angry look. "After this we are so having a serious talk!"

"Ughh...talking is overrated...wouldn't you rather just get down to the angry make up sex?"

"I'd rather kill you and have this whole nightmare over with!" Bonnie replied, "But I know for a fact I can't bring myself to killing you..."

He grinned. Things were starting to go his way again.
