Chapter 6: Man, Leave the Attitude At Home

The next week goes by and everything is back to where it was - normal. At least that's how Bonnie justifies it. She knew that Stefan would go back to Elena and would cover up the fact that they did share a rather heated kiss on the couch. Her talks with Elena had bee strained on her end, but she'd gotten so good at hiding the emotions she really felt from Elena for so long that the brunette didn't even notice.

Placing Elena's happiness over her own tended to be Bonnie's never-ending record of her life.

Then she had to deal with Stefan, quiet and brooding to times the tenth power. Ironically the kiss put them 2 steps back, they barely said a word to one another or even saw one another with conflicting schedules. The two have yet to discuss the kiss and how it felt. She thanks God that he throws himself into his work instead of the latter.

Bonnie also thanks to the Lord for her vibrator coming a day earlier than expected. She ordered long before the incident last Sunday. Sometimes, she just had those days and while her fingers were nice she craved for actual penetration. It was completely normal to have urges but not for your friend - or their boyfriend. She always fucked herself at night, knowing her orgasm was more than earned after a hard day of work. Being mindful of her sensual sounds had never really occurred to Bonnie, but it's too late to go back as she had listeners in the next room.

Elena is in her pink pajamas; a pink tank top with tight straps and matching silk bottoms. Her hair underneath a towel is drenching wet from her shower. She was wearing her reading glasses as she had a thick book in her hands, flipping pages. Effortlessly, she looked alluring yet adorable. The nightstand's lamp was still on as she depended on its illumination so that she can see the words in her novel.

Finally, Stefan emerges from the bathroom that connects to his bedroom. He was shirtless wearing plaid pajama pants apart of his nightwear. Stefan joins her on the bed, making his presence known by flopping down on the bed. It didn't take rocket science to know that two had showered together. Elena didn't respond whatsoever to him accompanying her and continued reading her book. What actually made her break away from her book was the thudding and light moans from the room down the hall.

"She's having fun," Elena comments with a chuckle and flipped to the next page, thus ending the chapter she had began when first seated.

"Sure is." He replied in a stern voice.

Elena placed her book on the nightstand, officially done with it for the night. She pursed her lips in thought and pressed her glasses to her nose. Perfect Elena didn't have not-so-20/20 vision. Caroline would have loved to see the girl squint without them. Only a few people knew that she needed eye assistance in her life and she kept it that way. She faced her boyfriend and comforted him by placing her hips over hips, effectively straddling him.

"You seem tense," She touches his face while his eyes droop at her exposed cleavage. Her hand lifts up his chin and said, "Yet in a different place."

"Sorry," Stefan muttered. "Work's been-"

Elena sighed, looking down. "I know. You've been so unavailable lately I'm starting to think it's something I did."

Stefan grabbed Elena's hand and kissed it, assuring nothing she did nothing wrong. He knows that he needs to start paying attention to her more because of the way she is and how needy she can be without directly saying it. In other words, Elena's favorite language was passiveness. She smiles at her boyfriend's consoling words. Her smile is quickly faltered when Stefan brings his lips to her neck, kissing it appreciatively.

Naturally, she throws her head back, lost in a whirlwind of pleasure and pulls him closer grinding her hips against his. Her knees sunk deep in the mattress as they mindlessly dry humped like teenagers. Unable to take any more of teasing and biting, Elena pushed him down to the bed, holding his writhing body by grabbing his neck. "Stay," She beckoned softly and released her hand from his neck.

It isn't long before his erections began to stab at her leg. The thought of Elena flipping him on his back and having her way with him drove Stefan insane. Elena may have looked her most confident hovering over him but her palms were sweaty. She gripped her hands on the sheets, thinking it would dry them. She captured Stefan's lips in a passionate kiss, realizing it's their first of the night.

She eyes his muscular body while he takes in her lovely appearance on top of him. Elena grazed her nails over his bare torso, preparing to kiss it as is. Stefan gives in by moaning her name out loud. All she was doing was swirling her tongue around his nipples, biting them on the occasion. He knew somewhere else that needed that sort of undivided attention. It wasn't until she got to his abs, she stopped her mouthy tricks.

There was faint scream coming from the room followed by a closing silence. It made both Stefan and Elena's ear perk up and they froze waiting for something else to happen. Their guest must have fallen asleep. Elena looked up at Stefan.

"Did she just-?"

"I assume so."

"That was actually kind of hot." She kisses his stomach, and her mouth keeps traveling further pleasing him in the best way.

Bonnie, Elena, and Caroline were on one of their cafe meetings better than they were just about a month and a half ago. Caroline was already showing them details of her grand Halloween parties and showing the girls across from her a sketch of the invites. Caroline was very meticulous when it came down to party planning and if one simple light wasn't shining, she'd snap.

It was hard trying to satisfy the blonde's party request and act as an aid for her because of how demanding she was. In her very dramatic way of showing her devotion to throwing a killer party, she also said she was renting out a mansion for the weekend. Whoever wasn't going was missing out on an epic night. While Elena steered clear of them these days, Bonnie still helped out their dear friend. She placed her hand over Caroline's hand asking her what she could do to pitch in.

Caroline giddily smiled, "Okay, actually this isn't really a typical 'help me with decor and food and drinks' type of thing." She took a long breath. "The artist I'm paying to perform is a dancer behind. Bonnie Bennett, do you want to take that girl's spot?"

Bonnie was shocked; this was an opportunity to finally showcase her capabilities even if the people in attendance were going to be in costume. Still, after her incident at the club, she thought it might too soon to be so open. Going to this party itself was going to be a battle. Walking away from opportunity wasn't Bonnie's motto.

"I'll do it, can you e-mail me their information? I hope you highlighted the fact that I can learn the choreography quickly."

Caroline smiled, loving her friend's determination. She pulled out her tablet and began to send the details to Bonnie via email.

"What made you want to do it?" Elena asked the dancer.

Bonnie shrugged, "We don't operate in fear."

Caroline and Elena agreed, nodding and taking Bonnie's wise words strongly. Elena reached over to shake her friend happily, congratulating her. She told Bonnie that she could become famous and outshine them all and eventually forget all about them. As they laughed, Bonnie couldn't believe how Elena fathomed that her presence would ever be forgotten. The future and its possibilities were scary at times. Caroline went back to typing on her device while the other two cheekily interacted.

Elena sipped from her strawberry all cute-like, her eyes glancing at Bonnie every once in a while. Bonnie covered up her mouth, hiding her nonsensical giggles. She liked to convince herself that the two had a secret language that no one else understood. They traded drinks because they both wanted to know how each other's tasted like. According to Elena, Bonnie's strawberry fuschia had better overall quality. She loved it so much that she ordered another when their waiter came back around.

"Okay, so," Caroline said looking up and showed them a list of people's names. "This is the guest list I've conjured, any problems?" Elena squinted, trying to read the simple words. Bonnie saw her struggling and saved her from embarrassment and said aloud, "Ah, that doesn't look too bad, right Elena?" The brunette nodded agreeing.

Caroline raised a brow and asked, "You sure? Damon's on here and you know Katherine might cause a scene." Elena rolled her eyes. They had broken up months ago. Bonnie looked confused and Caroline, being the person she is and keeping everyone informed told her all about Damon Salvatore.

"He sounds like a dick," Bonnie commented.

"A dick or not, he knows how to party and I can network with his people." Caroline dramatically faced Elena and exclaimed, "I can't have your sister screwing that up because of some old breakup."

"Trust me, I can keep Katherine under control," Elena gritted, getting frustrated with the blonde's worries. Caroline smiled robotically and dusted off her jeans of invisible dust, "Great, you do that." Bonnie coughed breaking up the tension between the two, already having a fight over Katherine's attitude already. The curly haired brunette would be feeling flattered right now if she knew that she was, in fact, the topic of discussion.

Breaking away from talking about the problematic twin, Caroline started to talk about how costumes were a requirement.

"Slutty or scary are your choices, a good mix of both is good though."

"Are those really the only options, Care?" Elena whined.

"Ugh, calm down Elena I was joking obviously. Me and Klaus are coming as Mr. and Mrs. Addams. Of course, I'm never going to dye my hair so I'll be wearing this ridiculously long black wig."

"And Klaus?"

Caroline giggled, "I lied and said we'd both dye our hair black." Bonnie and Elena snickered at the cruelty. They did all agree that the couple could pull off the dark family's look.

The blonde's eyes light up. "So, what are you and Stefan going as?"

"I don't know yet, this is our first holiday together I have no idea how seriously he takes dressing up."

Bonnie cleared her throat. Caroline looked at her for a second, possibly out of pity since she had no one to dress up with romantically with. Bonnie hated that she couldn't bond with them on a superficial level sometimes. The blonde started to name suggestions for the couple to which Elena rejected.

"Bonnie and Clyde?"

"Ew, no. I don't get the obsession."

"Slutty cheerleader and asshole jock?"

"God, no."

"The Kennedy's?"

"I don't want to send that kind of message."

"Aladdin and Jasmine?"

"Disney is adorable but we're white so, no."

"That's good take actually," Bonnie commented.

"The optics of it all are so insulting and in poor taste."

Caroline tapped her nails on the table. "The Great Gatsby? You two would so eat that 20's look."

Elena pondered on it and then saying no and that her hate for Daisy Buchanan ruined it for her. Neither of them was getting anywhere with the couples costume idea and were on their way to calling it quits. Costumes could be decided later on. Caroline and Elena may have had been in serious relationships but both of them had different views. Bonnie had an epiphany, acting as a mediator for the two's dilemma.

"Stefan as James Dean and you as Marilyn Monroe.*"

Elena and Caroline shared a look of amusement deciding Bonnie's suggestion was gold stricken.

"That's great I totally see it happening," Caroline exclaimed, looking up above dazing. "Leather jackets and Marilyn's iconic red lipstick. Of course, Elena as a blonde would be peculiar."

The brunette decided to ignore the last sentence.

"Bonnie, you're a genius, how did you even come up with this? He['ll love it knowing it came from you."

"Oh," Bonnie coughed, "Don't tell him really, anyone could have thought of it. He has that whole romance novel stare, linking it to James isn't a stretch. You as Marilyn Monroe is great vision too you can pull off that innocent but hot-enough-to-screw thing she had going on."

Caroline pouted, she was the natural blonde of the group yet Elena was going to dress up as one. Bonnie pressed her palms together silently hoping that the brunette wouldn't object her wishes. Elena raised an eyebrow, finding it odd Bonnie didn't want credit for her idea. She then nodded and gave a nonchalant 'okay.'

Caroline's phone beeped, she groaned setting her tablet back in her bag and answered her phone. She excused herself and walked to the bathroom to carry out the phone call. Bonnie breathed in and out, "I think I'm ready to go back home."

"That's great, Bonnie, but are you really sure?"

"I am, Grams needs me. I heard Abby skipped town."

"Oh. I mean what did we expect..." Elena muttered.

"Nothing, my expectations were low since the day she arrived. She'll be back when her funds run low."

Caroline came back with the news - The Parkers were coming. Elena vaguely remembered them while Bonnie was having a mini panic attack. There was one Parker, in particular, she ended things on a bitter note.

"Yeah, they're the twins, they went to school here and transferred after their first year to go to NYU," Caroline informed.

"Oh!" Elena said aloud, remembering the two blondes. "Isn't one of them gay? Not that it matters but I remember him and Katherine bonding over her custom designer bag."

"They're both gay. I know Luke will have a great time but Liv is just one of those depressing lesbians. They come as a pair, there's nothing I can do about it."

Bonnie nearly choked on her drink at the mention of the girl's name.

4 years ago

Bonnie held on to her leather jacket walking inside of the loud club. All she remembers was the pink lights and many women flirting and kissing. She was a freshman and thought she was swearing off men for good. Her mother would strike her dead if she knew she was at a gay bar.

Good thing she was a grown woman now and her and Abby had never been particularly close. She went out with Caroline the other night and was left alone as the blonde went home with a stranger. It was shitty but Caroline did call the next day expressing her apologies. They were freshmen and engorging on all the college parties and boys, hookups were inevitable. However, as the pickup lines and the smell of beer got stale and staler, Bonnie no longer cared to go the parties anymore.

It was the reason why she was at the bar now; she needed new scenery. She sat at the bar, ordered a drink or two and eyed her surroundings. The women around her were having immense fun and seemed very loose with one another. Maybe straight spaces were her, after all, they were insufferable but she had been conditioned to be around them her whole life. After 30 minutes she started grabbing her bags until a curly blonde spiked her interest.

"Hey there beautiful," Liv grabbed Bonnie's hand and kissed it. "Leaving so soon?"

Bonnie laughed and sat back in her seat, completely enamored with her directness. She wasn't uncomfortable at all with the gesture of her kissing her hand. Women just had a nurturing spirit that made her feel not so harmed. They talked and laughed and Liv introduced her to her friends a couple of the names of Nora and Mary. Apparently being together for that long in a lesbian relationship basically meant marriage.

The caramel skinned girl was learning a lot with Liv and they ended the night exchanging numbers. The blonde leaned in for a hug. Bonnie loved the way the girl smelt; strawberries dipped in milk ten times over. Liv then leaned in for a kiss, Bonnie placed a finger on her lips.

"I don't kiss on the first date."

"Who said this was a date? We just met tonight." She leaned into Bonnie's ear, "Yet you're making me work for it."

Bonnie giggled, she had maybe found a potential first girlfriend.

They go on dates, eat cotton candy and Bonnie complains about her friends to Liv. Sometimes, they would study together in each other's dorm. Studying in close proximity didn't last long because it morphs into kissing on the bottom bunk. Liv usually stopped it; she was Bonnie's first girlfriend and didn't want to pressure her. She knew that Bonnie had done things with other guys but not too much of anything with girls.

Liv and Bonnie were talking about the latest thing Elena and Caroline did. Both of them were wondering why Bonnie wasn't dating. They were straight and never would understand inner struggles with her sexuality Bonnie would always point out to Liv. They could go out and kiss their significant other without any scrutiny. Also, while she loved Caroline and Elena dearly, they always brought plans to her expecting her to be down to go.

Liv cupped her face, "Babe, ever consider telling these bitches that everything isn't about them?"

Bonnie tried to speak up, but no words came out. She was the mediator and didn't want to bring her conflict to the table. That would mess up the balance. Liv sighed, "Whenever you're tired of being their therapist. They don't even seem like they even like each other if you're not there." It was sort of true and even then they barely got along. The three of them being roommates single-handedly saved the friendship.

The two were in Liv's dorm room in close proximity. Bonnie smiled and starting giving the curly blonde kisses. Liv giggled between the pecks, pressing her head against Bonnie's.

"What are you doing?"

"Kissing my girlfriend, you know showing affection."

"Girlfriends, I like it."

They keep on kissing until Liv says it's time to return to their studying. Bonnie groaned lying down. "Do we have to?" She pleaded. Liv bent down to peck her nose. "Yes, we do." Bonnie stared into her girlfriend's blue eyes, getting lost in them. Theirs becomes heated quickly like a match being set ablaze. Bonnie and Liv are once again in a deep kiss, it becoming more passionate as they move closer, Bonnie's hair fisting Liv's golden locks. Taking a minute to catch their breaths, Liv hovered over Bonnie pressing their foreheads together.

"Kiss me with your..." Bonnie trails off, sort of ashamed.

"Yes?"

"Yes, with your tongue. Teach me everything I want to know and experience."

All Bonnie's saw were colors and her head hitting the pillow as Liv planted kisses below her belly.

Liv and Bonnie practically lasted the entire semester. Bonnie was glowing and her friends would never know why. Caroline assumes she's having scandalous sex with a TA while Elena could never imagine Bonnie doing something that disastrous and has her own private theories. She was happy that Bonnie was happy. Elena was still with Matt, it made both Caroline and Bonnie gag but there was nothing they could do but hope for the relationship's inevitable end.

"Finals were awful," Caroline groaned while packing her bag. "The only good thing coming from this is a whole month of winter break off."

"We deserve it," Bonnie said.

"I'm not worried too much about finals, one of my professors let use a cheat sheet, so that's one class I know I passed with an A, the rest are B's for sure," Elena shared.

Coincidentally, it's one of the classes Matt is in, they must really want him to pass to keep playing on their football team. Hearing about him was draining. Elena dragged her ass to all of his game even if he's benched, even inviting Bonnie who didn't care for the sport whatsoever.

"Did you all hear about the frat party Kappa's throwing before the break this Friday? We definitely go."

Elena nodded, Matt was going so her being in attendance was no doubt. Bonnie stayed quiet, her and Liv were supposed to meet up before they both left to go visit their families. A sweaty college party was nowhere to be intimate. Caroline looked up to face their now mute friend.

"Bonnie, you're going, right? Please say yes."

"Oh, of course, I was just thinking about something. It sounds like fun."

Later on, Bonnie sends Liv a text that she had to cancel because of her needy friends.

Ugh, you guys are literal roommates we don't see each other every day. Movie night sounds boring though, have fun.

Sorry babe, it's obligatory according to Caroline. Knew you'd understand.

Bonnie sighed and held her phone close shutting it off, knowing that lying to her girlfriend was completely wrong.

The party comes and the trio disbands quickly as Elena pairs off with Matt, kissing her girl's goodbye. Caroline does stick it out with Bonnie and they dance and sing songs in the Kappa's huge living room. Caroline expressed her tiredness and announced she was getting them a drink but she never returned leaving Bonnie in a sea of strangers. One of the party guests particular isn't a stranger because she saw Liv.

Bonnie was red-handed, literally picking up a red cup drinking it nervously as her blonde girlfriend approached her. Liv poked at her chest and smiled.

"Movie night, you say?" Liv teased. She wasn't at all mad and kind of figured that Bonnie's friends would pressure her to go this typical frat party. Bonnie sighed, "Okay I lied, I just-"

"Shush, I really didn't come here to hear you rag on your selfish friends. You lied to me Bonnie, take some responsibility."

"I'm sorry, I really mean it."

Liv takes her hand. The best they could do is make light of a bad situation. Life was too short to be bitter over a white lie. They danced and drank and laughed through the night. Bonnie was having a better time expected. She wasn't sure if leaning in for a kiss was appropriate so she led them in a broom closet, telling another a couple to get out.

"Ooh, my girl's feisty," Liv said with a smirk as Bonnie locked the door. Bonnie pushed Liv against the wall.

"Shut up and let me kiss you."

Liv let her happily. Bonnie's tongue ran across the girl's clavicle and she put her knee between Bonnie's thigh, rubbing it so slightly. Bonnie bit her lip in reaction and Liv watched her greedily, taking the opportunity to grab her face and kiss her again. Bonnie was glad that she took the initiative and at that moment she knew to kiss a girl, her girlfriend was the most natural form of affection and shouldn't be in a remote location.

She placed her finger over Liv's lips. "We're better than this, we deserve a bed."

"Hookup in a random frat boy's bed? We're becoming more aligned with our heterosexual counterparts each day," Liv joked.

Bonnie laughed unlocking the door, holding her girlfriend's hand walking out the closet together. She was going to lead them to an empty bedroom and if so help her God it wasn't empty she'd force the couple out like before. No one was going to stop her from pleasing her lover. Liv marveled at Bonnie's newfound confidence as party-goers eyed the couple walking out, assuming the truth - they were girlfriends. However, they were all drunk or buzzed so they weren't going to be exactly outraged.

Elena Gilbert may have had a bigger impact on Bonnie than God ever did. She caught Bonnie walking up the stairs as she was descending them, crying. Elena's mascara had been essentially ruined and stained her cheeks rather poetically. Bonnie hated seeing her like that she let go of Liv's hand to tend to her best friend's broken state. The brunette ran into Bonnie's arms, hugging her closely.

"Oh, Bonnie I was just looking for you," She stroked Bonnie's cheek. "Matt, he...I caught him in bed with April. He's been lying to me this whole time."

Bonnie envelops her in another hug, soothing her. The brunette got all dressed up in her red, hot mini dress and heels just to cry over a man. Bonnie could only empathize. Elena opened her eyes to see Liv awkwardly watching them hug. Liv looked like she was waiting on Bonnie to introduce them.

"I'm sorry, are you a friend of Bonnie's?"

"Yeah, I am, we're really friendly."

"Elena this is Olivia, she's in my Psych class."

"Oh," The still distraught girl said. "Well, it was nice meeting you. If we share one thing it's that Bonnie is a great friend." Elena offered a weak smile and Liv returned it and agreed.

"Yeah, she is. See you in January," Liv said to the curly haired girl and walked away and out of the party.

Bonnie face-palmed; it wasn't that hard to say that they were more than friends. She knew one thing though. She chose her best friend over her girlfriend, proving that the latter meant way less to her. The brunette and her had a shared history that transcended her current relationship. She and Elena went home shortly after not being able to find Caroline, who apparently left the party earlier to catch her flight early morning.

When they get to the dorm, Elena plops down on the bed and sulks. Bonnie follows her, holding her face.

"You're way too pretty to be crying over his ass, you need to get it together."

Elena swallowed and nodded. They go into the bathroom and together they washed off her smeared makeup. Bonnie walks out as Elena began to shower. She hears feet step on the shower tile and the water shuts off. Quickly, she grabs the essential under and nightwear for her friend.

"Bonnie can you pass me my-"

"Already on it."

The brunette came out of the bathroom in pajamas, preparing for bed. She still looked completely wrecked by Matt's betrayal. She sighed and lied on the bottom bunk. Bonnie is relieved that Elena was finally coming down from her hysterical high.

"Where would I be without you, Bonnie Bennett?"

"Lost," Bonnie replied with a chuckle.

Elena twiddled her thumbs. "Do you think you can lay with me tonight? I don't mean to be weird I just need comfort."

"Of course," Bonnie responded.

Though she got to lay with the girl she's loved forever she never heard back from the girl she loved now and who loved her back equally the same. Liv never returned her calls or texts. It absolutely devasted Bonnie when she visited her ex's empty dorm because she had learned that the blonde had transferred. Evidently, nothing was holding Liv back from going to her first choice university upstate. Her and Bonnie were even; proving to be disposable to one another.

It was Bonnie's last day at Stefan's place and she would't lie; she would be sad to leave it. However, staying there was selfish and that wasn't something she wanted to be. They never got to talk about the kiss but he did help her pack.

"I'm going to miss you, it's gonna go back to it being totally being empty here."

"Oh, please. You're just being nice." Bonnie smiled at Stefan, to which he returned.

"I'm not but if you like to hear lies," Stefan shurgged, "I totally am."

Bonnie opened all the drawers, they were all empty meaning her packing was over. She pursed her lips, it was over. Stefan started to roll her bag out into the living room. Bonnie rotated the room once more and saw something that caught her eye. Her purple friend in the corner the bedroom. The fucking vibrator. Quickly she had to figure out how to conceal it take it with her.

She didn't need it anymore as it served its purpose but those times of desire could sprout had forgotten last night she gave her self another orgasm as a send off, it must have rolled over as she fell asleep in a deep slumber. She knew that she couldn't walk out with a plastic male organ in her hand so openly so she came up with a foolproof excuse.

"Stefan," she called out, "Um, can you close your eyes? I, um have these super large," She eyed the object in her hand. "Tampons!" Bonnie yelled out choppily.

"I-Uh, okay, do what you have to do."

Bonnie peaked out from the doorframe, seeing that he had his eyes religiously closed. Stefan was trustworthy, she didn't know why she looked to make sure first. His eyes weren't closed because he was scared of seeing feminine hygiene products, it was that the fact that he was respecting Bonnie's wishes. She hurriedly unzipped the bag, stuffing the vibrator in, breathed in and out calming her nerves. She successfully hid it away. I really just got away with doing that.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Stefan crossed his arms, his biceps tensed as he did so. Bonnie eyed him, placing a stray hair behind her hair. Innocent eye ogling wasn't going to kill anyone. It wasn't the worst thing she's done. Bonnie swallowed, old feelings were stirring up, feelings she was trying to dead. He had been so kind to her the whole day and of course she couldn't separate friendliness from romantic gestures.

He laughed, "My eyes are up here."

Oh, yeah he noticed, and he was cocky too.

Bonnie coughed, "Yeah, of course they are." She turned around to get her purse from the couch, looking inside of it to grab her sunglasses. Clearly she wanted to cut their eye flirting short. It was time to go, she started to walk out and Stefan followed her out since he as her ride. Before she opened the passenger door, Stefan called out her name.

"What now-" She was stopped by his arms wrapping around her giving her a tender hug. Her objections ceased instantly. She breathed in his scent, wishing she could bottle it up and take it with her too.

"Thank you," she said when they parted, "For everything."

The ride to her grandmother's house is not that long really, It's where Bonnie should be and a part of her was ecstatic to come back home. When they get there, Stefan stops. She looks confused for a moment.

"I may have slipped up and told Elena about the kiss."

"You did not and why tell me now?"

"I did it because I like you, a lot and while I can't tell Elena about your feelings for her doesn't mean I can keep mines bottled up."

It was a lot to take in. Bonnie sat there in thought once again. Those were very expressive feelings.

"Is Elena mad at me?"

"Her anger won't be directed towards you, trust me."

"I'm sorry but I have to go. Grams is waiting for me."

Bonnie walked out the car and popped open the trunk to get her suitcase. She walked off not looking back and rang her home's doorbell. It was wonderful being greeted by her grandmother's warm embrace. Bonnie knew that Grams had questions but all she needed right now was to hold her grandmother for the moment.

A/N/: *I'm aware that Marilyn Monroe never dated James Dean. I heard it in a Rihanna song and couldn't stop thinking about SE. Plus, it's my creative right to tweak things for the story. I finished this on Monday instead of Sunday because I needed to include that flashback and clarify Bonnie's feelings for women in general and how she would essentially choose Elena over her healthy love life. (Which isn't healthy within itself) Next update we're skipping the bullshit and starting right with the Halloween party. Messiness ensues as we meet new but familiar characters.
