Summary: Bonnie was okay with being alone. She was okay with not falling in love. She was okay with her form of happiness. Then Scott showed up. Scott was a romantic. He loved the idea of everything being better. He loved to dream, and love. Together they could be something else. Maybe even happy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. These two shows (Teen Wolf and The Vampire Diaries)...I wish. Would be making some type of bank.
Warning: This is a part of a flashback.
Enjoy
It was one in the morning when they got back to Caroline's. Sheriff Forbes greeted them on the way down for a glass of water. She did not ask questions, trying to distance herself from the supernatural now. Bonnie thought that was wise. Ultimately someone should look after the town, but it took a certain kind of person, and that was not Liz.
When they got to Caroline's room, the blonde vampire closed the door and turned to Bonnie.
"That..."
Bonnie shook her head.
"I really..."
"That was awesome."
"What was?"
"You...I mean the spells...it was awesome. Three spells back to back. You kicked ass today."
Bonnie smiled but she did not feel that way.
"Is that why Stefan and Damon are trapped in the school?"
She heard Caroline scoff.
"That was their fault. Damon got a bit bold when you told him not to."
"Still..."
Caroline shook her head.
"There was nothing you could do...you were drained."
Bonnie shrugged. She felt a weight sit beside her on the bed, and an arm pull her in.
"Hey, you are amazing. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. And tonight...you stood up for yourself."
A small trace of guilt burst through her. She sighed, and closed her eyes.
"I could have done the spell one last time. Just to open it enough to get the out..."
She felt Caroline stiffen a little.
"I know..."
"I want them to die..."
She waited for Caroline to leave her. It never happened.
"I know..."
"Caroline..."
"Yes?"
"I hate them both...so much..."
"Yeah...I know. I do too."
She did not ask why. That was Caroline's reasoning. It did make her wonder. While it was obvious as to why she would hate Damon. But why Stefan? He had been good to her. She trusted him. He gave her a reason to trust him. Maybe one day Caroline would tell her. But right now...it was just nice to have each other.
And their dislike of the Salvatores.
Caroline suddenly laid back. Bonnie still sat up. A comfortable silence fell upon them.
"Caroline..."
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry."
"About what?"
"I abandoned you so long ago."
"Bonnie you moved away. I hardly call that..."
"No not that...when you transitioned."
"Oh...I thought we went over this already?"
"We did, but I have to say it again. I just owe you that."
"You didn't know if I was going to be an evil vampire or not...no problem..."
"I know, but in comparison to how I helped you and how I helped Elena, I treated you like shit."
"I mean...not even in comparison. You did treat me like shit. But that's okay. I know why you did it. I understand."
"But that doesn't make it right Caroline."
Bonnie finally laid back beside her friend. She turned her head to look at her. Caroline was just staring at the ceiling.
"I know I have apologized for that. But now...you are not the second best friend you know that?"
Caroline did not speak.
"Caroline you know that right?"
"Sort of..."
"No you know you are not the second best friend. Or the brides maid. Or..."
"But that's what we will always be to Elena. That's what I figured out when you left. I mean I knew it already. But you were here. You were on no one side...well okay maybe you took a side...but you jumped both sides frequently. You were here for Elena and me. But then you leave...and I realize...I only have Tyler. Elena has Stefan and Damon, and Jeremy, and Matt. I have Tyler. I know Tyler will come to save me. I can't guarantee the others would do that. I know that sounds selfish, but... I ahte them just for how much they love Elena."
Bonnie understood. Caroline had always been a bit envious of Elena. But there was one thing that no one could do deny; Elena had legions of people that would do anything for her. That would be okay if they were not your friends as well. Or what she thought were her friends. Caroline felt alone not because she did not have followers sitting at her feet, but because she did not think she had the support to be okay. She did not have half the group bending over backwards when she turned. She had almost been killed by Damon, and Bonnie shunned her. But Elena was different, they had went so far to find a cure for her.
And Caroline had been okay with that...but now, it did not make sense to her. And she did resent everyone.
Even Bonnie.
The next day, Saturday welcomed Bonnie with rays of sunlight. She was the first one to get up that morning. She took a shower, and got ready that day. Her hair, still without her weave, was placed in another bun. It had become her general style for the time being. She would straighten her hair eventually, but right now was just resting period. She went to the kitchen to start a thing of coffee. She was not a big fan of coffee, but she knew Caroline needed it. It kept her lively, a way to fool most people that she was no longer apart of the living.
Just as she got the coffee going she felt a presence. It was cold, distant, almost death. Immediately she thought it was Caroline.
"Hey Caroline I have the coffee going. You think we should make breakfast together...considering I am going home tomorrow."
"I thought this was your home."
Bonnie stopped, and turned around.
"Elena..."
She had not changed from her outfit last night. A purple long sleeve and blue jeans. Bonnie wondered if she ever tried. To look human. It was damn near summertime in Virginia, it was going to get hot.
"Bonnie...we need to go..."
"No Elena."
"What?"
"I'd rather not spend my morning saving them."
"But you have to."
"Why?"
She did not yell it. She was not even angry. She was curious as to why she should even help them.
"Because..."
"Because what? What have they ever done for me?"
"Bonnie..."
"No. I am tired of this...I am tired of them. They screwed up, and yet I have to come clean up their mess. Not just me, but most of our friends came to it. Jeremy and Caroline had no purpose there, but they were there for me. And for who? Damon, who did things to Caroline, and snapped Jeremy's neck. And Stefan. Who will stand by his brother through tick and thin. As noble as that sounds, I will not align myself with someone who would stand by a callous arrogant murderer."
As soon as she said that, she felt a hand around her neck. She realized that Elena was staring her down, her veins around her eyes.
"Take that back!"
"They did it Elena. They have walked over everyone you cared about for you. Damon has done unforgivable things to your friends. Stefan almost drove you off the bridge..."
She felt Elena hand grip tighter. Finally she got tired of it. She focused on Elena and watched as her friend fall to an aneurysm.
"Ga!"
Elena dropped her, and Bonnie got into a defensive position. She let up, but knew not to underestimate Elena.
"Elena..."
Both girls looked to see Caroline standing there, staring between them.
"What's going on?"
Bonnie was about to say something, but Elena spoke first.
"We were just talking...and I was just leaving."
She was turning away when Bonnie spoke.
"Get Jeremy, tell him to kick the barrier."
"Why?"
"Humans are immune to the effects of the mountain ash."
"Why didn't you say anything yesterday?"
Because she wanted them contained. But it was no hope now.
"Because Jeremy could have been hurt if they caught his scent."
"Oh..."
"Jeremy has gotten stronger, and wiser...hell he has taken down two hybrids...but a gang of Alphas is not in his ballpark. Just kick the barrier and tell them to leave."
Elena nodded.
"Thank you."
She did not even get a chance to say she was welcome.
"His name is Scott..."
Caroline turned her head away from her best friend.
"I know that...why is this important?"
"We met in Chemistry..."
"Bonnie?"
"I was scared to be with him...but he knew..."
She just listened.
"He is a great guy. He listens, and is cool. He laughs at my unfunny jokes. He is really cute. I think he is of latin descent. He's not all white...His birthday is October 6, 1993. He plays lacrosse. He loves pizza, and likes to sleep on his stomach. He is a bit ditz, but not stupid."
Caroline smiled.
"He is like five ten. Which isn't really tall, but still tall enough. He can be considered compact. Like lean muscle. He works at the local vet. He used to have asthma. He thinks I'm really pretty. His ex girl friend, is a hunter..."
"Hunter?"
"Yep."
"Ew..."
"She is aight...I don't really like her though. Anyway he is a great friend. A great person..."
Caroline snuggled into Bonnie, listening to her talk about Scott for the first time. She closed her eyes and imagined him. He sounded like a great guy.
"Oh...and he has an offset jaw...like me."
A/N: Fifth update. One more left people. Alright: so in this short chapter: Bonnie apologized to Caroline for her treatment. You have to admit their preference of Elena over Caroline is a bit...eh. Plus this is not about love interest, but people who the girls trust, and will be there for them. Obviously Elena wins. Like I said, Caroline only has Tyler. Matt is a liability. Jeremy and her don't really talk or interact outside of Bonnie (not even Elena). Stefan does somewhat. Damon she hates. Basically...yeah the scales are very tilted. And though Bonnie loves both girls...she did nearly kill herself to prevent Elena from having to become a vampire...that was more than the ring and cold shoulder she gave to Caroline.
This is not to diss Elena at all. I hope it does not come off that way. I am about to bring her back for the last chapter of this update, which is Bonnie's last day...which includes the last two apologies in this. Oh and the Salvatores don't show up much, but are referenced. They don't even interact with Bonnie.
Thank You for reading this.
Read. Review. Critique. Enjoy.
