March 2016

Caroline coerced Stefan into throwing a party. Since his parents weren't there, and their play had just wrapped it was the "perfect time," she told him. Though she was a major key in the play, Bonnie wasn't looking to party. She thinks that they party too much. She wasn't looking forward to being around a bunch of people either.

It's been a month since Damon and Bonnie started going behind the backs of everyone that they had known. It was their little secret and that made it all the more fun.

Sneaking away from the party and into Damon's room was like taking a bite out of forbidden fruit. When she entered, Damon had his back to her. Maybe he didn't know she was behind him.

"Get tired of the party?"

Gasping, Bonnie went up to him and smacked his shoulder. "You didn't know I was here."

Turning around, he smized. "I could pick up your scent out of a lineup," he muttered. "Besides, when the door opened, the music got louder. Others know better than to come here… you on the other hand..." With his mouth incredibly close to her neck, he inhaled. "You're all about breaking the rules. Aren't you?"

"Do I smell bad or something?" Sniffing her neck harshly, she pushed him away all the while laughing. "Stop it, you weirdo!"

"What!" He exclaimed. "You asked if you smelt bad. I think you smell amazing," he answered, a slight slur to his voice.

Capturing his lips with her own, she kissed him. Pulling away, her face scrunched up. "Are you okay?"

"I'm better now that you're here."

Squinting at him, Damon pulled her back towards him. "I should get back."

"Or you could stay."

Damon's eyes fell to Bonnie's level. Her gaze was weary, she felt like she was going to pass out. A feeling of want washed over her body. Bonnie's never been with anyone before. That was surely what this was becoming. "I should go," she said- again.

"You should go," he agreed. Rushing her back, he pushed her against the wall, Bonnie's back hit the surface hard. "Fuck, did I hurt you? I'm-"

"No." She quipped. "I'm okay."

Biting her lip, he kissed her again. Their mouths moved together fast and hungrily. Hands stopping at the top of his jeans, Bonnie went and began to unbutton them. Gently grabbing her hands, he pulled them up to his lips, kissing them tenderly.

Pulling her hands out of his grip, Bonnie lifted up her shirt. Taking it over her head and off, she threw it to the side. "Do you still want me to go?"

"I don't want to pressure you, Bonnie."

"I want this." She assured him. "I want you."

Though they were all a bit wasted, Stefan couldn't remember where Bonnie said that she was going. He couldn't remember if she said anything at all, but she was gone. Going through the crowd of maybe 10 or 15 other students, Stefan ran into Caroline.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Stefan hummed, looking around her. "To find Bonnie." He answered.

Caroline thought for a moment. She hadn't seen Bonnie in awhile either. The last time she did, Bonnie was leaving the party.

If it was Stefan she had caught Bonnie with, Caroline would have been all for it. Everybody loves Stefan and Bonnie, there's no doubt about it. Except since it wasn't anybody remotely close to being as good as Stefan, Caroline wasn't sure she could keep this to herself.

"Stefan, I… I think there's something you need to know."

When she first felt him, a loud and guttural moan left her mouth. Keeping his arms wrapped tightly around her waist, the two bodies moved with one another, as they coexisted with each other.

The feeling of him was like seeing stars. If he was a place, he'd be space and Bonnie was the planets orbiting around him. They were consumed in each other. Bonnie's bare hips rolled against Damon's, her back arched. Damon's hands trailed up her back and then down again.

The loudness of the music masked the sounds that they made as they reached their peaks. "I should.. I really should get back." She spoke after a minute of silence.

What are you supposed to say afterwards? She thought. Goodbye?

"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"

While she undressed, she looked back at Damon. "I'm great, Damon." She answered honestly, with a smile. "I'm really okay."

Fully dressed, Damon reaches behind Bonnie and opened the door to his room. Leaning into him, he wrapped his arms around her waist again and Bonnie pecked his lips. When she pulled away, she snickered at his distracted expression.

"What's wrong?" She asked him as his hands fell from her. Binnie did a full turn, following the direction of his eyes.

Her face fell.

"Stefan, wait!" Caroline rushes up to his side. Bonnie looked between Caroline and Stefan. When Caroline saw that she was too late, she went tight lipped. "Bonnie, I'm so sorry." She apologized.

Glancing back at Damon, the two backed away from one another. "I can't," Stefan scoffed. "This isn't…" his smile turned down and he shook his head. "I can't fucking believe you."

Damon stepped in front of Bonnie. "Stefan, dont." He warned.

Ignoring his words thoroughly and completely, Stefan grabbed Damon by his shirt and threw him on the ground. "Fuck you!" Kicking him in the stomach, Damon coughed. "She is good!" When people from the parted started to pull Stefan off him, Stefan retreated. Once they were more than an arms length away, he leaned back down, grabbing Damon by the collar. "You're going to stay the fuck away from her, do you hear me?!" He bellowed, his closed fist connecting with Damon's nose.

"Stefan, stop!" Grabbing his arm, Bonnie tried pulling him off. Pushing her back, Bonnie fell to the ground. Rushing to her side, Matt helped her off of the ground.

"Bonnie needs me," Stefan stated, his eyes were wide as he backed away from his bloodied brother and his best friend.

The next morning after finding out about Damon and Bonnie, Stefan woke up with an entirely different outlook on his life. Bonnie, he understood it. To the best of his abilities, any way. She had just turned 18. He knew that Bonnie always craved this deep, dark, and intense kind of love. Which is why he told her to stay away from Damon.

But Damon? Damon took advantage of the situation. Of his best friend. If Bonnie wasn't able to see it, everybody else was. Because Damon doesn't fall in love. That's why he and Elena worked for as long as they did. It was never love for them. Always lust. Stefan told Damon to stay away from her for a reason. Bonnie was naive and easily manipulated. Her good heart was no match for Damon's cruel intentions.

Which is why he had to do what he did.

Coming into the kitchen, Stefan stopped cleaning up the red solo cups and turned his attention to his brother. Standing with an ice pack to his face, Damon sighed. "Got all you need? Your cab is going to be here."

"Stefan, please." Damon scoffed, snickering at his brother. "I'm not leaving."

"Yes, you are." Throwing the garbage bag down, Stefan narrowed in on his brother. "She may not know about your shit, but I do. I'm not letting you get her hopes up just for you to leave her. Bonnie is not Elena. Bonnie is good, she is too good for you and you're leaving now before she falls. Cause she's going to fall hard."

Picking the bag back up, Stefan chuckled. "Besides, there's no way you'll ever care for her as much as you do the bottle." Before he left his brother, he turned back. "Don't even think about contacting her. You don't deserve to say goodbye."


End of April 2016

The first time Damon left, was almost a month ago. Since that time, Bonnie had left too. Stefan couldn't bring himself to speak to her. Not yet.

Bonnie had hurt him, so he sought out to hurt Bonnie.

It was April and at Mystic Falls High School, that meant prom season. Caroline's favorite season. Not only was she determined to throw the best prom all of Mystic Falls had ever seen, she was also determined to find Bonnie a date.

Except time was running out. You see, prom was only in a few hours. When Matt has asked Caroline and even Stefan asked someone, Bonnie had lost all hope. Though it wouldn't be the first time Bonnie had been left alone, so suppose it didn't matter.

"You can't even answer my calls?" She raved, pacing the her bedroom. "I don't know what I did to make you run away but, fuck, Damon. I…" The sudden knock on her door caused Bonnie to hang up.

Barging in came Caroline. Her dress was a deep hue of blue, strapless and floor length. Her hair was pinned back, her makeup done simply. Caroline smiled widely at Bonnie who tried to reciprocate the motion. She didn't feel as beautiful as Caroline looked.

"You look lovely! Are you ready?"

As ready as she'll ever be.

The Masquerade themed prom was breathtaking. Silver, white and blue tassels hung from the ceiling of the gym and strings of confetti covered the ground.

After an hour of sitting and watching her friends dance, Bonnie couldn't take the loneliness anymore. Lifting the mask over to cover her face, Bonnie wandered away from her friends.

Walking out of the gymnasium, Bonnie went where her feet lead her. Pressing the doors of the pool open, she sauntered in. She removed the mask from her face and threw it to the side. Lifting the bottom of her dress, she crouched down and sat on the side of the pool, her feet dipping in.

"You look beautiful."

"Damon?" Standing, she walked fast to the boy she hadn't seen in almost a month. Throwing her arms around him, she held on tight. Too scared to let go, she wasn't going to lose him again. "Where have you been?"

Inhaling her scent like she was his favorite candle, he sighed. "I'm sorry I left," he told her. "I shouldn't have, but I'm here now."

Nodding, she embraced him even more. Listening to his heartbeat, she fell into him. The two began to sway. "Damon," she spoke. Even though she never looked up, she felt his eyes on her.

It was the beginning of April and to say she was spooked is an understatement. Bonnie had never been late before. For anything. Especially not for her period, so when Caroline suggested that she take a pregnancy test made Bonnie want to puke.

"You need to be sure, Bonnie." Caroline pointed out. Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Do it."

After peeing on the contraption, the two sat in silence. What felt like two hours was only two minutes before they were able to look. "Do you want me to look for you? I know this is-"

"-Holy shit, Care." Caroline looked up at Bonnie who already had the test in sight.

"I'm pregnant." Expecting their dance to come to a halt, he said nothing. They continued to sway in the music less room.

Stefan abandoned his date to go and search for Bonnie... again. Stefan stood on the outside looking in. Watching as his brother and his best friend dance in each other's arms, broke him. When he called Damon to come back from wherever he was, he didn't expect him to really come back.

When Damon used to go on his benders, he'd never come back when asked. So what made this time different? Different from the past?

Bonnie was too good for him and the voice in his head told him that he ruined her. He couldn't leave, yet he couldn't bare to stay. "Bonnie is good. She is too good for you."

The second time Damon left was after spending the night with her. Bonnie woke in his bed alone, her chest heaving. Something wasn't right and she knew it. Racing to his door, she was met with Stefan. His eyes looked at her sympathetically, his arms opening ready for her. Crashing into her best friend, she sobbed.

How did he make her loving him so hard, but him leaving her so easy?


This chapter makes me sad. A lot of you wanted to know more of the backstory about how Damon left Bonnie so I hope this chapter is that.

Stefan's issues that lie within him have A LOT to do with Damon's constant disappearing and the fact that he thinks Damon used Bonnie. Stefan thinks he knows what's best for Bonnie but actions do have consequences.

I really hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Let me know what you think!
