Damon stood several feet away from the couch Bonnie was sitting on. He could see the woman was pretending to be strong, but, she was pale and her bones were more prominent than ever.

"I don't need you here." she said in a whisper, holding the mug of hot tea in her hands.

Both Enzo and Damon looked at each other, both unsure of who this was directed at.

"Damon, I don't need you here." Bonnie said again, and Enzo's actually turned up in a smirk. As if he took pleasure from her anger with Damon.

Damon's heart was low, his eyes were dull and he wished for nothing but Enzo to disappear so he could speak to Bonnie in private.

Bonnie coughed and quickly set the tea on the coffee table so she didn't spill it.

"I want to talk to her alone." he said, his eyes glued to her.

"I don't think-" Enzo started but Damon repeated himself quickly.

Enzo gave him a grave look, then turned and walked out of the front door of the cabin that was several feet away. The door slammed behind him, and Bonnie's eyes flickered over to meet Damon's face.

"What do you want from me?" Bonnie questioned, her chest aching.

"You're dying." he said slowly, "I might never get to talk to you again, see you again."

"Does it matter?" she asked, and he looked at her like he couldn't believe she would ask him that.

"I don't want you here whether or not I am dying." Bonnie continued in a huff.

Damon stepped over to her, his boots thudding on the wood floor.

"Well unless the all powerful Enzo can pull a cure all out of his ass, you are dying Bonnie Bennett, and I will not stand idly by-" he said, his jaw locked but she interrupted him.

"You're wasting your breath!" Bonnie practically yelled at him, taking every ounce of strength she had.

Damon's eyes were intense, and he dropped down to her eye level.

"I don't care. If these are the last moments I get with you, if you're going to die soon, I will waste my breath up until the last second you are alive." he told her roughly, and her eyes glimmered.

"So, you listen to me, or don't listen to me, but I'm not going to hurt you, not again." Damon said, lifting a hand to touch her face.

Bonnie was about to say something when Enzo came walking back in the door.

"I told you t-" Damon started, about to push Enzo back ouside, but the man started to speak.

"Alex said she might have found a way to help Bonnie, but we need Rayna." Enzo said quickly.

"We have no idea where she is." Bonnie said slowly, leaning back against the couch, as if she'd given up, or didn't care.

Enzo scrubbed a hand over his face, "There's no way we could find her in time."

Damon stood back up and instantly headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" Bonnie asked, sitting back up, eyes pouring into the back of his head.

Damon turned around and looked at her and Enzo.

"If it were up to Enzo, he'd make excuses until you die, luckily. I'm not him." he started mission set in his eyes, "I can't let you leave me. I won't."

And he disappeared through the door.
