Damon's POV

"Want to head out?"I ask. We were all sitting in the booth. Bonnie had her head on my shoulder and she was tired. Stefanie looked wide a wake, Elena and Mederith were chatting while sipping their drinks, Stefan and Matt were talking, Stefan had his arm around Stefanie."Sure lets head home."Elena says."Already its not even one."Stefanie complains."Stef, I'm tired."Bonnie whined."Fine."she replies pouting. Jeremy leans down and whispers in her ear."If your not tired we could always find a way to occupy ourselves for a couple hours."

Stefan and I laughed, loudly. Stefanie was smirking and so was Jeremy. Everyone else looked confused."Nothing, never mind. Lets head home."Stefan says, suppressing laughter. Everyone nodded before getting up and heading out the door. The ride home was quiet. Despite what Stefanie had said she was lying down, her head in Jeremy's lap, his hands softly brushing her hair. If someone saw them know they would think they've been together for months, not that they had met last then seven hours ago.

It didn't surprise me though. Everyone around here had intense relationships."Their so cute."Bonnie whispers to me her voice cutting through my thoughts."It's like there made for each other."She continues. We had our fingers intertwined."I love you."she whispered, so quietly. I looked at her. Those three words broke it all. All the walls I had built after some many years. I was finally letting someone in. I loved Bonnie. I had always noticed Bonnie but never did anything about it. I knew she was going to change me. I was not going to be this cold... thing. That turned off his feelings all the time. I could no longer here the monsters voice. It was only Damon left. The little boy had broken through his chains.

And yet when I had opened my mouth to say those three words, nothing came out. I don't know why. Bonnie stared at me waiting."I can't..."I choked out. Bonnie searched my eyes for some explication. Then tears rolled down her face and my heart broke in two. We were know in front of the boarding house and Bonnie ran for it."What just happened?"Jeremy asked."I don't know." was my only reply as I stared after her.

Bonnie's POV

He doesn't love me. I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, wiping off all the make up. I wasn't enough. He couldn't love me. After I was down, I walked out to meet Matt waiting for me, of all people."Hey Bon."he says softly. And I broke down. And hour ago I was so happy how did I get to this?"What is it Bon?"he asked me gently."He doesn't love me."I gasp. He sighs and gently slides us to the floor against the wall."Tell me what happened."and I did.

After a silence he said."Did you ever think that with everything that Damon went through he isn't able to let people in easily. Maybe he's afraid that if he says it he might lose you."Matt says. Now that I thought of that it made sense. I knew he loved me. I felt it. But Damon had a tough life, Damon didn't let people in. So maybe, he was afraid to say those three words because he doesn't know what will happen when he does.

"Matt, I want to help him. And I love him and I know he loves me."I say. He nods his head understanding."I know. I knew the day that I walked in on you two kissing that you held an importance to him. That he could see how special you really were. He will take care of you. And you will help him more then he wants to admit. Give it time."Matt advises. I nod my head. I hated hurting Matt especially since he now he had lost two girls to the Salvatore brothers. I watched him sulk away.

I had to find Damon. I walked down the stairs and into the living room. Jeremy was lying beside Stefan his arm around her waist. Elena slept cuddle up into Stefan's chest. Mederith lay sleeping peacefully like Snow White. Matt was beside her but I knew he wasn't asleep yet. They all looked so peaceful, the ones that I loved. The only person that was missing. I walked and opened the front door.

But the sight before me was not what I expected.

Kathrine and Damon kissing.
