Caroline and Jack had found Bonnie in the parking lot and they drove her home to her house. Caroline had tried her best to comfort Bonnie but it did little to comfort her pain after they left. She changed out of her dress and into sleeping wear and crawled into bed and cried herself to sleep. When morning time came around she had deeply regretted ending things with Damon, but still wanted to spare her friendship with Elena. She was torn and heartbroken.

Jack came over to her house mid morning as an offer of support. They saw at the kitchen table drinking the coffee that she had made.

"Are you sure that this is what you want?" Jack asked

Bonnie's eyes were a little red from crying so much. "It's not what I want."

Jack looked confused. "Then why did you do it?"

"It was something that I had to do." Bonnie told him.

"Why?" Jack asked.

Bonnie sip on some of her coffee. "It was for Elena."

Jack shook his head. "I don't understand."

"You haven't been around for a while Jack." Bonnie said "Elena and Damon have this history together."

"So." Jack said

"A history that got Elena to fall in love with him." Bonnie explained. "She has feelings for him and I knew that when I got with Damon."

Jack shrugged a shoulder. "Damon and Elena weren't together when you got him right?"

"No they weren't together." Bonnie answered

"Then it wasn't like you got with Damon while he was Elena's boyfriend." Jack said "You did nothing wrong."

Bonnie sighed, "Jack you don't understand."

"What is there to understand?" Jack asked

"I knew that being with Damon could hurt Elena and I did it anyway." Bonnie said

Jack swirled around his coffee with a spoon. "Still don't see where you did anything wrong and as far a I'm concerned you have nothing to feel sorry for."

Bonnie looked over at him. "I feel bad that this situation has hurt Elena."

"And that makes you a good person to care about other people's feelings. But why break up with Damon? " Jack asked "You're crazy about the guy."

"To spare my friendship with Elena." Bonnie explained.

Jack's brow furrowed. "If you ask me than Elena's the one not being the good friend."

"You don't know her like I do." Bonnie said

"If she's really making you choose between her and Damon than she's being self fish." Jack commented.

"I've made my decision." Bonnie said

Jack was annoyed with Elena. "Yeah and now you're left with a broken heart to spare someone else's feelings. It's okay to think about yourself and put yourself first every once and a while."

"It probably doesn't matter not anyway." Bonnie said

"Why do you say that?" Jack asked

Bonnie felt guilt as she thought about the look in Damon's blue eyes when she broke it off. "I pretty much crushed Damon's heart."

"Well." Jack gestured. "I'm pretty sure that you getting back with him would fix his crushed heart."

"Who's to say that he'll even take me back?" Bonnie asked

Jack leaned forward in his seat. "You don't know if you don't try."

Bonnie swallowed. "I have to focus on fixing my friendship with Elena as much as I love Damon."

Jack nodded his head to show that he supported her as a friend, but he silently believed that she made the wrong choice and didn't like Elena at all at this moment for causing Bonnie this pain.

Damon was at the Mystic Falls grill hours later at late afternoon drowning his sorrows in drinking. No matter how much he drank it couldn't ease the ache that was in his heart at Bonnie breaking up with him.

He had ordered five glasses of whiskey drinking them all down. He gestured the bartender over for another.

The bartender looked concerned with how much Damon was drinking. "I've think that you've had enough buddy."

Damon grabbed the bartender by the arm and compelled him "I've tell you when I have had enough keep giving me drinks until I stay stop."

"Yes." The bartender said filling his glass up with more whiskey.

Damon drunk down the whiskey letting it burn his throat. He saw Elena approaching out of the corner of his eye and ignored her at first.

"About last night." Elena started touching a hand to the arm of his leather jacket.

Damon moved away from her touch. "I don't want to hear whatever you have to say."

"Damon." Elena said

Damon turned his angry blue eyes on her. "Come to try and help me lick my wounds?"

"Lick your wounds?" Elena asked

"Bonnie didn't tell you yet?" Damon wanted to know. "She ended it with me last night."

Elena had a hopeful feeling come up inside of her. "She did?"

Damon put a bitter expression on his face. "Yeah she broke it off with me, so congrats you won Elena."

"It was for the best." Elena started

"For the best?" Damon snapped his head back.

"Because now Bonnie and I can remain friends." Elena explained

Damon gritted his teeth. "You're good Elena even Katherine would be proud."

Elena was offended at the comparison "Why do you say that."

"Using your friendship with Bonnie to guilt trip her into making a decision. You knew what she had in her heart and how self less she is and used that against her." Damon accused/

"I had every right to be angry and upset for her sleeping with you behind my back." Elena retorted

Damon smirked coolly. "That's what you can stand isn't me sleeping with Bonnie?"

Elena glared at him.

Damon leaned in closer and closer until his mouth was next to Elena's ear.

Elena felt her heart rate pick up.

"It drives you insane with jealously thinking about Bonnie and I being together." Damon went on voice harsh and cool. "How I laid naked with her, my hands all over her body, my lips on tits, me fingering and eating out her pussy, my cock buried deep inside of her. You wish that I was doing all of that to you don't you Elena? Too bad for you that I wouldn't touch you with a ten feet pole anymore."

Elena's face was reddened with anger and humiliation. "You're a jerk."

Damon chuckled "Hey every body." He said loud enough for several people to turn their attention towards him. He lifted his glass. "Let's have a toast to the most spiteful bitch in Mystic Falls Elena Gilbert."

Tears stung Elena's eyes as she turned and ran out of the grill.

Damon didn't care about her tears she was the reason why Bonnie had left him and he was hurting and pissed off. Damon drink down the remaining liquid and lifted his hand for another round.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Bonnie's cell phone kept beeping telling her they she had texts messages coming in and they were all from Elena.

'Heard that you broke up with Damon. Thank you'

'I know that it was a hard decision but I appreciate it'

'Men shouldn't come before friends right?'

'Are U there Bonnie.?'

'Okay I'll talk with U later.'

Bonnie read each of the texts messages as they came in but ignored them. She wasn't in the mood to communicate with Elena at the moment.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Elena frowned at her cell phone why wasn't Bonnie texting back? She wasn't watching where she was going and ran into a hard chest.

Elena stumbled back and saw Stefan standing before her.

"Elena." Stefan started a disapproving look on his face.

She was still reeling from the harsh words that Damon had said to her and now Stefan looked like he wanted to lay into her. "Look Stefan I don't have time."

"You must be proud of yourself." Stefan said

Elena put her cell phone away. "Proud of what?"

"Pretty much black mailing Bonnie into breaking up with Damon." Stefan hinted.

Elena shook her head. "That's not what I did."

Stefan folded his arms over his chest. "What else do you call telling Bonnie that if she stayed with Damon that you wouldn't be her friend anymore."

Elena has no answer for that.

"You not only made a fool of Damon but of me too." Stefan went on.

"That's not what I did." Elena said

"Oh really?" Stefan eyed Elena with disgust. "For how long when you where with me, did you wish that you were with Damon?"

Elena swallowed. "Stefan I loved you, I still do."

"Yet you're in love with Damon too." Stefan rolled his eyes. "If you could have both of us at the same time you would admit it."

"No." Elena denied.

"Now to even be more self fish you'd rather have both Damon and Bonnie heartbroken apart then to be happy together." Stefan told her. "Just so that you can be secure in your feelings. You want my brother miserable if he isn't with you and bowing down to worship your ass."

Elena pouted. "I want Damon to be happy."

"Bonnie made him happy." Stefan pointed out. "He never had to compete with me over her feelings or any other man for that matter she has eyes for only him and that's more than can be said for your or Katherine."

"I'm not like Katherine." Elena whined.

Stefan shook his head. "You are in more ways than one. You really don't give a shit about Damon's feelings only your own. I'm done with you."

Elena was speechless as she watched Stefan walk away.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Ten days had past since her break up with Damon and all Bonnie could think about was how much she missed him. She missed looking into his intense icy blue eyes and being in his arms and everything else about being with him. They had not talked since the night that she broke up with him. She had met up with Elena three times over the ten day period to try and work on the friendship that had almost been ruined when Elena found out about what was going on with Damon. Bonnie could tell that Elena was relieved and happy that she had ended it with Damon. Bonnie couldn't help but to reset Elena a little for that since Bonnie herself was aching in her heart from being apart from him.

She tried to go on about her life and her daily routine's going out and doing things and trying to keep her mind off of Damon Salvatore which was almost impossible to do. When she had went out around town she had seen the dark haired vampire three or four times watching her. He would be across a parking lot or street standing there with his eyes on her. There was love and longing in his eyes like he wanted to approach her. Then Bonnie would blink or turn her head for a second and he would be gone.

Bonnie was lost in her thoughts when the door bell to her house rang. Getting up she walked to the door and opened it and was taken aback by who was standing there. Damon was there dressed in his usual all black attire in his leather jacket. Bonnie couldn't help but feel joy and love at seeing him standing there.

"Damon?" Bonnie started.

Damon swept his eyes over her body until they landed on her face. "I have something to tell you." He told her. "Can I come in?"
