I know I took too long to update. I had a huge freaking project to do for a class of mine and so it took up all my time in order to get it done and I am uber sorry. Though I do have this chapter for you so here you go! You know I luvs you all so just read.

~Bonnie~

I slept well that night. Too well being I woke up around two in the afternoon. Though I probably would've woken up later if it wasn't for the yelling coming from downstairs. Hurrying to get dressed, and tripping at the same time I then rushed downstairs, and stopped.

"Who invited him in?" I asked angrily looking at Damon and Stefan fight

Damon threw Stefan across the room, and both me, and Mary screamed as he hit the wall.

"Stefan!" I screamed quickly jumping into the fray

Standing in between them I knew they wouldn't fight with someone in the way.

"Just tell him to let me have that list." Damon said

"No." I said

He looked at me taken aback.

"I'm the one who nearly got killed over the stupid piece of paper." I said "We'll look at it together."

Neither brother sounded too happy about it. I turned to Mary.

"Where is it?" I asked her

She stood there frozen for a moment then snapped back to reality.

"uhh…um…"

"Spit it out." Damon hissed

Quickly I hit Damon in the chest.

"It's in that one place you, and I used to hide a lot of our secrets." Mary said

"No…" I said remembering "Really?"

She just shrugged like it was the only place she could think of. As I headed for the stairs the phone rang. Stefan stayed down by Mary as she answered the phone. I saw her take a few steps back from him. Rushing upstairs I made my way down the hall.

"So where is it?" Damon asked

I ignored him, and walked into my parents room and then closed the door.

"If you wanted to be alone Bonnie all you had to do was say so." Damon said in a low voice that made my skin crawl

Walking along the floorboards I tried to hear it, but Damon didn't shut up.

"Please…I know it's hard for you, but try to be quiet for a few minutes." I said

He glared at me, and I just paid it no mind. After a few steps I heard it, and smiled.

"You wanted to hide something…you do it in plain sight." I mumbled to myself as I got down on my knees, and pulled up the floorboard

"Sneaky sneaky little witch." Damon said in appreciation

I just rolled my eyes, and shuffled through the multitude of things Mary, and I had hidden down in there which included my mom's favorite small statue and dad's favorite mug. Looking around I pulled out a necklace. I remember it was from my first boyfriend.

"What is that?" Damon inquired

I quickly dropped it, and looked around some more. After a few seconds I found it along with something else. Holding the list I pulled out a ring. It had blue gemstones…

Turning quickly I grabbed Damon's hand, and looked at his ring. The two were exactly alike. One thing I knew is that I was the one who put this ring here. I had forgotten till now since the memory was so distant. I had found when I was a little girl then hid it away cause it was so pretty. I never knew what it actually was.

"Where'd you get this?" he asked

"I don't remember. I think I found it…" I said trialing off

Standing up with both the list, and the ring in hand I started to walk off then froze.

"No. it was given to me. I hid it away, because it gave me bad dreams. I told myself I would find it again when I was older." I said turning back to him "It was, because of this imaginary friend. He was nice to me, and said he'd protect me. I smiled whenever I got to see him. He was fast, and strong like what I thought an angel was like. Sometimes I'd fall asleep with him there cradling me, and telling me that he'd chase all the bad dreams away."

I stopped. Why couldn't I remember it all?

"I can't remember it all…" I said "He told me something…he said that someday I'd understand or something. Then he…he…"

I lost my train of thought, and hadn't realized that I was squeezing the ring so hard that it punctured my hand, which now had small droplets of blood hitting the hard wood floor.

"Bonnie." Damon said

I looked up.

"He probably compelled you. This ring isn't going to bring back all those memories." He said

"Good. I don't want to remember." I said

It was a lie I didn't need to say.

"My imaginary friend was a vampire." I muttered

I left the room and went back downstairs. Mary and Stefan were talking about lord knows what.

"Got it." I said quietly

"Bonnie you're bleeding." Stefan said quickly

He took my hand which still clenched the ring. I yanked it back quickly holding it to my chest.

"It's nothing." I insisted

He looked back at Mary then at me. I brushed past Stefan, and walked to the kitchen. Elena sat at the dining room table quietly. She was more pale than usual. I didn't bother to ask. It was mainly because I didn't care. I couldn't find myself to care about much of anything anymore. It was all complicated.

Damon walked in quietly behind along with the others. He consoled Elena and she just said she was fine. Unraveling the piece of paper I stood there confused. The piece of paper was blank.

"I'm so confused." I said

Then noticing a small bit of blood from my hand get on it I quickly wiped it off. Looking back at the back I watched the blood swirl onto the paper, and letters start to appear. Then they became names. My eyes got wide in shock as I looked at them. The first ones were enough to make me laugh, because I could never see it let alone imagine it coming to life, but the second ones…

I wanted to cry.

"No…" I said "Just no!"

"Bonnie…" Stefan started

I threw the paper down on the counter and rushed out of the room.

"This is all screwed up!" I yelled "None of it is right!"

~Damon~

She started up on a rant. It was nothing new though it did get to be entertaining. Picking up the piece of paper I looked at it and froze ice cold. The first names were nothing but a joke. The seconds set was like murder for me, not her.

*He's had more than enough chances! He doesn't deserve it.*

The words stuck clearly in my mind and didn't hurt any less. Setting the paper down I walked towards her.

"Stop." I said as I grabbed her by the shoulders

She did just that surprisingly.

"I'm sorry you're so unhappy and even more I'm sorry it's my fault." I said "But right now we need you to be sane. You can be insane later."

She glared at me making me smirk. It wasn't a hatred look. It was an annoyance glare. Elena came into the room next holding the paper. She was quiet and sullen and didn't look at me or Bonnie. She'd gotten quiet a lot in the past few hours.

"She told me…" she started "She told me about this…I didn't really believe it. Not till now."

Bonnie looked confused.

"Who told you what?" she asked

"That thing. The thing that looks like Meredith. She told me that there were special circumstances and something about loving hatred. When she said it I knew."

Elena didn't finish the rest. Bonnie sighed irritated.

"Elena. Nothing is going to happen between us." I said gesturing between Bonnie and I

"This is the one thing I can agree on." Bonnie said

Looking back at her I could tell she was not so sure and neither was I. we all knew not to take things lightly. Elena just shook her head.

"It doesn't lie." She said "You two are together and Stefan has somebody and I have nobody."

"That's a lie. You have me." I said

She cried now.

"Bonnie conv-"

I stopped mid sentence seeing as Bonnie was no longer in the room. Looking back at Elena I sighed. I took the paper from her hands and she just walked away. I looked down at the paper again. There were dozens of names on this paper. They were rarities, and special circumstances that much I knew. In the middle of the list I looked at my name. How could I be paired off with one single person?

Beside my name was hers…Bonnie McCullough
