Thank you guys for the reviews on the last chapter, they mean a lot. Well, here's the 6th chapter. I hope you enjoy.
I woke up to yelling. I was at home sleeping like a baby. I haven't slept so well in a while and I was rudely interrupted by the obnoxious voices outside my house. Thank God I put up a magical barrier around my house last night so no supernatural being could come in. I knew that with the stunt I pulled last night I was going to hear an earful from the others, so I had to think on my toes. Two pats on the back for you, Bonnie!
I tried to block out their voices. I really did, but to no avail. I climbed out of bed and walked down the steps and waltz to the front door. I opened the door and plastered on a fake smile on my face.
"How may I help you wonderful vampires this early morning?" I took in their expressions. I wore baggy pajama pants that hung low on my hips and a black sports bra. It was hella cold outside, but inside my humble abode it was like a sauna.
Caroline looked incredulous; as if she was so surprised to see me being so bold. I mean I can't blame her, the old me would've never done this especially in front of the Salvatore brothers. But the new me who died for the hundredth time and just got her magic back didn't care.
Caroline cleared her throat and looked down. I then made eye contact with Elena for a split second. Her face was unreadable, but her eyes were wide open. And I nearly burst out laughing looking at Stefan. His eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his sockets.
I bit my lip and let the scrutiny continue until Damon spoke up.
"Not that I don't enjoy the show you're putting on right now Judgey, and please do come out with less clothes more often, but do you mind telling us what the hell happened last night?"
I flicked my eyes to him and looked at him innocently. "What do you mean?"
"Why did you snap our necks last night Bonnie?" Elena intervened. Her cheeks were flushed with frustration and her nose was bright red due to the cold. "And most importantly," she continued. "How? You didn't say anything for a second, and the next thing I knew my neck was twisted."
"Well, Elena. Let's just say that after Damon gave me my magic back something inside of me just snapped," I said while curling my lip.
"But we didn't do anything to you. I just thought that a nice get together would…lighten things up a bit," Caroline stated.
I really wanted to laugh at Care's mere ignorance. "Just stop, Caroline. I literally just came back from the dead and the last thing on my mind is a "get together" with people I don't give a shit about anymore." I sighed and continued, "Look guys just give me some space okay?" I said with a firm voice. "Stop trying to push me back to things. Stop trying to pretend like everything is okay when it's not. It'll never be okay. So just give me my space, and I'll talk to you when I'm ready."
I started to close the door but Damon's voice stopped me. "No."
I gave him a confused look. "What do you mean 'no'?"
"I know you're lying Bonnie. Who are you trying to kid?"
I cursed inside my mind. My heart wasn't racing, I made sure of that. So how did he know?
I scoffed and shut my eyes. "Well they sure fell for it."
"So he was right?" Elena questioned. "You were really just going to cut us out of your life?" I sighed and looked at my ex BFF with pity. Was she really that naïve or just extra close minded?
"To be honest Elena, you're like a beacon for trouble. And your Salvatore issues are fucking exhausting. Now Caroline, you were there for me way more than Elena could've ever been, but your boy problems are annoying as hell too. Stefan your brooding and constant internal struggle of trying to figure out why Elena picked Damon over you are relatable, and till this day I still don't understand why because I would've chosen you in a heartbeat." I smirked at him and winked in his direction. Elena gasped and Caroline had a frigid face but I merely ignored them and looked at Damon. I sucked my teeth and gave him the once over. He was wearing dark blue jeans instead of black today. His hair was tamed and he still looked gorgeous as ever.
I chuckled. "Look who's not wearing all black today!" I clapped my hands and feigned gratitude. He gave me a fake smile. "Ha, ha. Very funny," he said in a monotone voice.
"And you Damon. Honestly, I actually grew to like you in 1994. I mean who would've thought? Me and you? But now," I said while looking him straight in the eye. "You're just the same pathetic, insecure vampire who thrived off seeing people get hurt and who is obsessed with Elena."
His face was stone cold and his eyes were even colder. He took one step towards me and he was immediately overpowering my space. He raised his upper lip at me and growled. "You know what Bennett? I see right through that little façade you have going on. You try to be big and bad, but let's face it. You're not. So stop acting like a little brat and get. Over. It. I get that you're upset, and hurt and whatever but what's your endgame here? Attention? Because you're sure as shit ain't getting any."
I ran my tongue against my bottom lip and sucked in a breath of air. I wanted to kill him. God, I wanted to kill him.
He tensed his jaw so hard that I swore I heard a crack. Was it pussy for me to actually admit that he kind of scared me? Regardless of knowing Damon for years, he could still be very intimidating. I mean I've took on a thousand year old vampires, and immortal witch that has been entombed for what, two thousand years? I've died more than once and it's odd that this vampire kind of shook me. His voice was so hard and it engraved my skin like steel.
I gulped and opened my mouth to speak but decided against it. Damon smiled. "Nice to know that you have nothing to say. Well, I'll see you around Bon Bon." He winked at me as I said through gritted teeth, "I fucking hate you." He smirked. "I know." And in a blink of an eye he was gone. In my embarrassment I took it upon myself to shut my door leaving the three remaining three vampires outside. It took everything in my power to not set something on fire.
Why had I let Damon get to me? Why did I just stand there like an idiot and took shit from him?
God I felt so ridiculous. Why did Damon even have power over me?
I don't own anything. Please review!
