This chapter is kinda interesting because I was just writing and then the next thing I know I'm giving in to my Stefoonie fetish! Well not really, I sorta did and I sorta didn't… well you'll find out soon enough. There will be some drama in this chapter and a HUGE twist so be prepared. And just so you know, I'm thinking of bringing Damon back either next chapter or the one after that so keep your fingers crossed! Hopefully I can give him a good entrance back into the story!

Thanks!

Chapter 14

"Hey Bonnie!" Stefan called from the parking lot at The Grill. He jogged over to meet her.

"Hey, how are you?" She smiled and hugged him.

"I'm good." He lied. "Well . . . I'll be better when I know that you haven't tried those spells yet." He arched a thick eyebrow at her. The both of them walked through The Grill's doors and sat down at a far booth in the back so no one could over hear their supernatural conversation.

"Of course I haven't tried any spells yet." She shrugged and busied herself with ordering her food when the waitress came to take their order.

"And what will you have sir?" The all too eager waitress perked up a bit and stuck out her chest at Stefan. Bonnie stifled a giggle. "We have a wide range of specials to choose from . . . all you have to do is ask." The desperate girl smiled a seductive smile and licked her lips.

"I'll have a Coke and lots of fries." He stared at her with a smoldering look. "Did you get that?" She nodded eagerly. "Did you get that last part?" She nodded again and added on her own double meaning of the "lots of fries" part. "Are you sure?" She smiled at him assuming he meant he wanted a large order of her served up on a platter. "Okay. Thank you." He gave her his charming, drop dead gorgeous, signature Stefan smile.

"I'll be right back with your order." She gave him a once over and walked away with wobbly legs.

Stefan burst into laughter and so did a shocked Bonnie.

Holding her sides she managed to get out, "Why do you feel the need to do that?"

"It's fun." He simply put and that erupted them both into another fit of laughter.

They sat waiting for their order while continuously making fun of the clearly deranged waitress; when she returned with their order, Stefan was snuggled up to Bonnie and whispering in her ear. She giggled and he brushed his fingers over her collar bone causing her to blush. The waitress all but tossed their order on the table and stormed off.

He was actually whispering to her exactly what he was going to do to her and when. "I'm going to rub your collar bone and you are going to shiver as if you like it. She is going to flip." Bonnie giggled and blushed at the sudden contact of his delicate fingers on her skin. "Wait for it . . . wait for it." With that, the waitress threw their orders down and hurried away.

He started to laugh again with his head resting on her shoulder.

"You are terrible!" She slapped his arm and pushed him off her, still laughing uncontrollably.

"Sorry, I just couldn't resist . . ." They started laughing again like little kids.

"Thank you." Bonnie said as he walked her to her front porch. "I had a really good time." She gave him a wistful smile.

"Me too." He nodded and looked down, suddenly nervous.

"What?"

"Nothing." He shook his head desperately trying to find his way out of this one.

"Spill." When he didn't comply, she arched a commanding eyebrow.

Letting out a tired sigh, he finally "spilled".

"Can I come in? It's sort of a long story." He smiled sheepishly when she agreed.

"So what is it?" They both sat on her bed, opposite one another.

"Well . . . I uh, I want to talk to you about Elena." He paused and took a shaky breath.

"What about her? Is she hurt?" She immediately began to panic and she jumped off the bed.

"No, no," He grabbed her hand and eased her back down to the bed, "She's fine Bonnie."

"Are you sure?" She gave him a weary sideways glance.

"I'm very sure." He gave her a reassuring smile, but it was quickly replaced with a tight grimace. "She's too fine actually." He rubbed his jaw roughly and bit on his bottom lip.

"What do you mean?" She noticed his eyes water and her heart immediately went out to him. "Tell me what happened." She rubbed his already hunched over shoulders. "Talk to me." She whispered and inched closer to him.

Shaking his head, he tried standing up but was restricted by an invisible force field. He chuckled darkly. "I see you're getting stronger." He mumbled.

"Stop evading." She snapped.

He turned to her with sad eyes.

"What is going on with you Stefan?" She stressed every word, intent on getting a straight forward answer this time.

He obviously was hesitant, so she tried to warm him up to it. She scooted herself right next to his depressed form and wrapped her arm around his broad shoulders.

"She cheated on me." She could barely hear him.

"What did you say?" She asked.

"She cheated on me." He said a little louder this time with each word burning on the way out.

"Elena?" She screeched. He nodded. "Our Elena?" He nodded again, slowly becoming crippled by his pain. He nodded again, this time with a tiny whine. A single tear escaped the confines of his tightly fused eyelids.

"I can't believe she would do this to me." He choked out.

"Oh, Stefan," she cooed and wrapped him in a tight hug, "it will be okay. I promise." She knew the feeling of loss all too well to abandon him now, especially after all he had done for her. Helping her get over Damon's disappearance was not easy. Now Elena.

What's next? Bonnie thought.

He pulled away from her. He looked so broken. His lips were trembling uncontrollably, his eyes were darkened with the sadness and rage that coursed through him, his voice was barely audible. He was a spitting image of Bonnie when Damon left, but magnified by ten. "The worst part about all this is that it was with Tyler." He shook with spasms of grief and he doubled over bracing himself on his knees. "I trusted him! He was my friend and he turns around and does something like that!" He jolted up and kicked a giant hole in her bedroom wall causing the entire third story of her house to shake. "They both betrayed me. And Elena," shaking his head in disgust, "I gave her everything I had. I gave her my life. I would do anything for her." Pacing back and forth her average sized room he continued to vent. "I would die for her and she does this! She's just like Katherine." He spat.

"Whoa." Bonnie stood before him with her hands on his shoulders, "I think you should slow down and just breathe." He obeyed and took a deep shaky breath. "Now, are you sure?" She asked quietly trying not to make him angry again.

"Yes I'm sure! I saw them with my own eyes!" He raged scaring Bonnie. Noticing Bonnie's wide eyes, he rubbed her shoulder, "I'm sorry, I just can't handle this right now." He rubbed his eyes. "I have to go." He started towards the fastest exit: the window.

"Wait!" She pulled at his arm. "Stay here."

"Bonnie, I'm sorry that I brought it up to you. I'm honestly sorry that I got you involved, but please let me go." He pleaded with a single tear marring his beautiful face.

"See, I have a problem with that." She muttered and held his pained gazed with her intense one. "You were there for me when I needed a friend and now, I'm going to be here for you." She framed his contorted face in her hands and willed him to listen. "I'm not going to leave you Stefan. Not now, not ever." She whispered and kissed his cheek.

"B-Bonnie." He sobbed and held onto her. "How could she do this to me?" He cried into the crook of her neck.

"It will be alright babe." She messaged the nape of his neck and chanted a spell to ease his pain. "You will be alright Stefan." She assured him again and took his large hands in hers. "Just come over here." She guided him to her bed and sat him down. He was numb and sniffling. He did not want to break contact with her, but she wanted to take off his shoes. After sliding off his shoes, she was right next to him again."Lay down." She whispered. She lay on her back with his head against her bosom, "You won't have to go through this alone."

She rubbed his back in wide circles and kissed his hair. "It will be alright. It will be alright." She whispered against his shaking form. "We will get through this." He nodded his head slightly and hugged her tighter. "I promise." If she failed at everything else, she vowed to herself that she will not fail in finding Stefan the happiness he deserves.

She decided that she will deal with Elena later. Right now, Stefan was her main concern.

"Thank you." He whispered.
