Bonnie scrubbed the tile on the floor vigorously. She didn't know what else to do. Grams insisted on keeping Sarah for the night. Lexi was still at the hospital with the Salvatores, and she was all alone in her big house. For some reason the five bedroom split didn't feel so big with Damon and Sarah home. She cleaned ever room, top to bottom, and the kitchen was the last on her list. Damon's blood lay on the floor and she couldn't get it up. She tried everything vinegar, bleach, scrubbing bubbles. She couldn't get it out.

Bonnie wiped her brow in defeat and decided she needed a snack. Or maybe a glass of wine. She just really needed to get the edge off something to keep her mind moving off of the fact that Damon Salvatore kissed her. He kissed her and she enjoyed it. It wasn't just the part of her that felt like it belonged there. She wanted it. She loved him. Bonnie decided that maybe wine wasn't strong enough and pulled out the bourbon.

"Oh great you're having a party," Katherine said as she entered the kitchen. She grabbed glasses out of the cabinet for the both of them.

"How did you get in here?" Bonnie wondered as she sat across from Katherine at the kitchen table.

"I barrowed Qets' key," She said as she poured them both generous amounts of bourbon. "Seems like your husband is a sensitive moron," Katherine mumbled.

"We're not married," Bonnie yelled.

"So is that why he tried to kill himself. We all know how he gets," she smiled.

"No it's complicated and I just don't want to talk about it," Bonnie said as she sunk into her seat.

The girl silently drank for a moment before Katherine spoke up. "I was actually a little happy when Qetsiyah said he was okay," she laughed. "It scared me a little."

"I told Damon I love him," Bonnie blurted out. Normally this was a Caroline problem, but she wasn't around and Lexi was handling things at the hospital and Katherine was the closest thing to a friend she had in her moment of need. "He kissed me."

"You say that as if it's a problem," Katherine shrugged.

"It is," Bonnie stressed.

"Did you mean it?" Katherine questioned.

"Yeah that's the problem."

"That's hardly a problem. You two have been living together for two years and you have a kid together, it would be weird if you felt nothing for him."

"I'm supposed to feel nothing for him, I hate Damon Salvatore. He is a vile human being. And he's in love with my best friend."

"The one that broke his heart and ran off with his brother. Yeah I don't think she's too worried about him. You need to let go of all of that. It's the past. Right here and right now you love Damon and he is madly in love with you."

"He's not."

"Bonnie, he is. He looks at you like you hung the stars in the sky, and all that tried old crap. And you choose to be here for a reason. You knew a part of you belonged here with him."

"What's going to happen when she comes back? What if they are really meant to be together were does that leave me?" Bonnie asked.

"You can't let that hold you back from living your life Bonnie. If the girl really wanted to be with him, she'd be here. If he really wanted her as bad as you think he'd be with her. Do you remember the last time he mentioned her?" Katherine waited. "See, stop worrying about what if and focus on what is now and real."

"Thanks," Bonnie said pouring herself another glass.

"Anytime," Katherine said holding her cup out for a refill.


"So you're the world's biggest idiot," Lexi said walking into Damon's hospital room with a paper cup. "Here's your blood as promised."

Lexi sat in the chair next to his bed as Damon gulped down the blood. "You're free to go," he smiled at her.

"I told Bonnie I'd keep an eye on you just encase something goes wrong," she sighed.

"Well I don't need a babysitter," he said narrowing his eyes at her.

"Bonnie doesn't think so and neither do I. How could you do something so stupid?" she questioned.

"You don't understand, and you never will," Damon yelled.

"Try me," she shrugged.

"I don't have to explain myself to you," he shrugged. "And if you don't mind I'd like to spend the rest of my sentence in this hellhole alone."

"You scared the crap out of Bonnie and Sarah, Damon. And you don't even know why," she laughed.

"Again, get the hell out Lexi."

"You're pathetic. It would be her luck that Bonnie has to share her afterlife with you," Lexi laughed as she opened the door, and saw a crowd of people leading a gurney down the hall with Stefan on it. "Stefan," she said running out of the door to him.

Damon got out of bed and rushed out of the room. He saw the top of Stefan's head and knew that hair anywhere. "What happened to him?" he said grabbing a nurse and compelling her.

"He was found on the side of the road with really bad burns," she said and rushed into the room, Stefan was taken in.

"I'll call Bonnie," Lexi said.


Bonnie and Katherine danced around the dining room to Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It" when Damon entered the house. He took in the sight of Bonnie carelessly enjoying herself and singing alone to the words. "What's love got to do, got to do with it, What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion What's love got to do, got to do with it, Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken," she sing dancing in perfect time. Damon could smell the bourbon from the porch and knew then that he was in far too deep. He expected a pissed off drunken Bonnie no this.

"Damon," she laughed as she turned to see him by the door. "You're a vampire again," she screamed.

"Ssh," he said grabbing her as she stumbled over to him.

"Oh Katherine doesn't know, I forgot," she laughed. "I think I'm a little drunk."

"You don't say," Damon said as Katherine passed out on the couch.

"I guess I'm not as drunk as Kat," she said wrapping her arms around him and taking in his scent. "I missed you," she said nestling her head against his chest.

"Look I need you to sober up, let's get some water," he said leading her to the kitchen.

"Stefan needs you to be sober right now," he said sitting her down.

"Stefan is this a dream?"

"Bonnie how much did you drink?" Damon asked as he examined her.

"Not enough to forget I love you," she said getting up and stumbling away.

"Hey where are you going?" Damon asked stopping her.

"Bed," she said continuing to the staircase.

Damon watched as Bonnie slowly and carefully made her way up the steps and called the next best witch he knew. "What are you calling for Damon?" Qetsiah demanded.

"I need your help Bonnie is intoxicated thanks to your girlfriend," Damon said looking back at Katherine.

"Give her some water and let her sleep it off," She groaned into the phone.

"That's the least of my problems. I need you to take your magic cook book down to the hospital. My brother was in an accident and he needs a witch."

"Damon it will be okay," she said.

"Look I just need to to make a potion or do a spell that will heal his burns that's it. Please," he asked.

"Fine meet me at the hospital in an hour," she grunted.

"Thank you," he said. Damon ended the call and mad his way up to Bonnie. He opened her bedroom door to see her struggling to take off her pants. Damon walked in and ordered her to sit on the bed. He pulled the pant leg off of her ankle and Bonnie removed her shirt. She didn't have on a bra and Damon tried hard to keep his eyes away. While she put on her tee shirt. "I'm going back to the hospital to help Stefan. Call me if you need me and please drink some water," he said caressing her face then raising to leave.

"Bonnie stopped him and he looked down at her. She stood and kissed him. "Yes," she said finally.

"Yes to what?" he asked.

"I'll marry you, if you want me to," she said.

"Bonnie just rest," he said.

"I really love you Damon. And I want us to be a family," she confessed. "And it's not just this me it's all of me that loves you."

Damon hugged her and kissed the crown of her head. "I really love you too, all of me," he said. "I'll be home soon."

"Bye," she said and kissed his cheek.
