Eleven.
Things in Mystic Falls hasn't changed since Kol, Bonnie, Klaus, Caroline, Damon, and Elena returned from their trip to New York City to kick off the summer. The only thing that was different was how Bonnie and Kol were inseparable, joined at the hip. Everyone was happy that they've finally got together, everyone except Jeremy Gilbert.
Sure once Anna appeared, Jeremy got caught by Bonnie heavily kissing Anna, Bonnie had called their relationship off in tears. Now that Bonnie and Kol were official, he grew jealous of his relationship with Bonnie. He wanted that kind of fire in his and Anna's relationship.
Bonnie's relationship with the Original vampire was earth shattering. She had never felt so free in her relationship with the youngest Gilbert. Kol was the most wonderful, gentlemanly boyfriend any girl could want and need. A few days after they returned from NYC, Bonnie moved from her dad's and into the Mikaelson's Plantation with Kol. She had never been happier.
Another change in Mystic Falls was that Bonnie's father had decided to give Bonnie's mother a second chance and left Mystic Falls, leaving Bonnie and his mayorship. Bonnie moved in with Grams and was currently sitting in the middle of the living room with Grams trying to light a candle.
"Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, and concentrate," Grams said for the millionth time and Bonnie did as instructed. She begged the Witches for power again.
"Ugh Grams, I can't," Bonnie said opening her eyes and frowning at the still unlit wick.
"Maybe Nature doesn't see me worthy enough to have my powers back," Bonnie said in sort of an acceptance tone. Grams enveloped her in a tight, I'm-sorry-this-is-true hug.
"I'm going to go hang out at Kol's for a while. I'll see you later," Bonnie said, giving Grams a hug before grabbing her phone and keys then headed out to her car. She took the drive through the woodsy part of Mystic Falls until Bonnie pulled up the paved driveway in front of the large, three-story mansion behind Rebecka's hot pink Mercedes. Since Bonnie came to the Mikaelson's a lot, she got out of her car and walked straight up to the front door and knocked.
"He's in his room," Rebecka said and Bonnie walked past her, through the large living room where Klaus and Elijah were playing on the Xbox with Caroline filing her nails in the sofa behind Klaus, and bounded up the two flights of stairs until she reached his door where she knocked. Once she heard him say it's open, she entered.
"Hey, love," Kol said looking up from his TV screen.
"Hey," Bonnie said with a small yet saddened smile and climbed next to Kol on his bed.
"This is an unexpected surprise. I like unexpected," Kol said, swiftly kissing Bonnie before going back to his game.
"I just found out some news," Bonnie said playing with her necklace.
"What's up?" Kol asked in concentration.
"I lost my powers," Bonnie said in a tear-strained voice and what Bonnie said as well as how she said it made Kol pause his video game and face Bonnie who had her head ducked down a bit.
"What do you mean?" Kol asked in confusion and Bonnie sniffled. In a teary voice she said,
"I lost my powers. All of because I believed stupid Shane! I'm so stupid!"
Bonnie cried out and fell against Kol's clothed chest and balled her eyes out while Kol rubbed her heaving back and cooed "shhh".
"You're not stupid Bonnie. Shane used you knowingly and he trapped you," Kol said against her hair. Bonnie's heavy sobs calmed down as Kol stroked her hair soothingly. She pulled away from Kol's chest and chuckled.
"I got your shirt all wet," Bonnie sniffled and laughed. Kol smiled.
"It's fine. Let's go to the Grill and get something to eat since it's twelve," Kol said. He got up and changed into a new shirt and then grabbed Bonnie's hand and walked with her downstairs and out of the house.

The Grill was packed as usual with loud, drunk football fans cheering and booing as they watched the game. Bonnie slid into a booth while Kol went to go get food and drinks then Bonnie noticed Jeremy walking toward her.
"Hey Jer," Bonnie said when he reached her booth.
"Hey. How was New York?" Jeremy asked as he slid in beside her.
"It was so much fun! I hope Kol one day takes me back," Bonnie said with a bright smile and Jeremy looked downward awkwardly.
"So, it's true. You and Kol are together?" he asked. Bonnie's smile faltered.
"As a matter of fact Jer, we are," Bonnie said defensively, squinting her eyes at Jeremy.
"Are you sure that's a wise choice Bonnie? He is evil," Jeremy said and Bonnie scoffed and stood up and faced Jeremy.
"You have no right to say something like that. You lost that right after I caught you kissing Anna! I can make my own decisions and for your information, he told me he changed and I believe him," Bonnie said and walked off to where Kol was standing, still deciding on his drink.
"Hey, can we go? I need to get out of here," Bonnie asked, coming up beside Kol.
"Uh, sure, love," Kol said and canceled the order and took Bonnie's hand and walked out of the Grill.
A/N: Don't worry, there will be more drama coming up. I just gave you a little taste. This chapter was difficult to finish due to writer's block. Sorry about that :)
