Bonnie's P.O.V
I woke up with the sound of banging on my door. I moaned and rolled over covering my ears with my pillow and that still didn't muffle the banging in fact it only got louder.
"Go away!" I screamed.
"Bonnie, come on it's nearly noon and we have a lot of things to do!" Clara yelled right back.
Oh right the mall, vacation, me and Stefan pretending to be a couple. How could I forget? I jumped out of bed and pulled on a pair of jeans that looked pretty clean off the floor and a light pink v neck over my white camisole. I opened the door when Clara was in mid-knock
"Thank God, I thought you would never get up." She sighed in relief.
"Where's Stefan and James?" I asked
"Well James is out picking up the rental and Stefan is getting the things Stefan needs." She said referring to Stefan's blood.
"Well what are we doing?" I asked.
She gave me a dumbfounded look and said, "Going to the mall to get some cute cloths and some hot ass bikinis as I recall you saying." She said.
"Yeah, but what about Stefan and James?" I asked
"They'll meet us there but now we need to go and then get packed because we need to leave at like 5:30 if we want to get to the hotel." She said hurrying down the hallway me following in toe.
We got into the car and buckled our seat belts and Clara started blasting her music that you could hear if you were ten miles away.
Once we got to the mall we decided to look for bikinis first.
"What about this one?" I asked holding a simple black one piece.
"Were trying to make your ex jealous honey, not going to church." She said and held out a black stringy two piece. I just looked at her.
"Just try it on." She said and pushed me to the dressing rooms.
Once I put it on I had to admit it wasn't as bad as I thought. It covered everything it needed to cover but still looked sexy at the same time.
"Well, let me see." Clara demanded.
I stepped out of the dressing room and gave her a full 360.
"So are you getting it?" She asked
"Sure, why not." I said.
"Good cause I was going to get it for you anyways." She said and smiled.
We left the bikini department and went to look for some tank tops, shoes and shorts. Let's just say that we spent and left with more than what was necessary.
I finally got a text from Stefan saying to meet him and James in the food court. When me and Clara got there Jamie said,
"What the hell did you two girls do? Buy a whole new damn wardrobe?" He asked.
"What did you expect? It's Clara." I said
"Hey! It wasn't just me you were the one that needed five different pairs of shoes!" She said
"Touché" I said
"Well unlike you two girls Stefan and I just got the things that we needed." James said.
"Well we should really get home and start packing." Stefan said.
When we got home we started packing, well most of us. I just sat on my bed thinking about facing them once again and by them I meant Damon and Elena. I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." I said kind of lifeless.
It was Stefan. He came in with a smile but when he saw my face it went away.
"Bonnie are you alright? You've barely packed." He said.
"I'm just nervous you know? Having to go look at their faces again since two years. I thought it would be easy but now I'm not so sure." I admitted.
"It'll be alright. To be completely honest I'm not exactly sure how I feel but I do know that I'll have my amazingly beautiful best friend with me." He smiled.
I smiled back.
"So come on I'll help you pack we leave in less than two hours." He said.
So I got off my bed and finished packing.
Once the car was packed and we got snacks for the 24 hour trip we started on the road. Not even an hour later Clara said,
"Guys, um, I really need to go to the bathroom." She said from the backseat of the car.
"Oh you got to be kidding me, right?" James said next to her.
"No so shut up you know I have a small bladder." She snapped.
"How much longer can you hold it Clara?" Stefan asked from the driver's seat.
"About another 25 minutes." Clara said.
"Fine where coming up to a rest stop in about 15." I said.
After everybody did the things they needed to do at the rest stop it was about 7:00. Everybody was already getting bored. Clara and James decided to go to sleep, so that left me and Stefan up.
"So how much longer is it going to take?" I asked.
"Well if I do the speed limit it's going to take us another 18 hours but if I book it will take us about 15." He said.
"Book it." I said.
2 hours later:
I fell asleep for a good 2 hours which felt nice but James' snoring woke me up so I decided to take my iPod out and listen to music to try and block out the noise. I soon fell asleep again.
1 hour later
Nothing has happened except us all being bored out of our minds.
30 minutes later
Clara needed to use the restroom again.
Finally when we actually reached Cali the sun was starting to rise. Everybody just wanted to get to the hotel and just get out of this damn car.
"What's the hotels name again?" James said.
"The Sunshine? The Sunset? I don't know it had something got to do with the sun." I answered.
"It's the Sunset and it's right over there." Stefan said and pointed.
Once we got there we made it at the time we were supposed to and that's when I saw them. Damon and Elena holding hands looking at each other with such compassion it made my insides hurt. I looked at Stefan he obviously had seen them to.
"Is that the bitch couple?" Clara asked.
"Sure if that's what you want to call them." I replied as we drove past them as they just walked in to meet Meredith, Matt, that Sarah girl and some other dude.
I decided to text Meredith telling her that we were there and we were finding a parking spot once we did Clara said,
"Um you guys I know were superposed to you know cause trouble but this is a birthday vacation and we kind of forgot something really important." She said.
"What?" I asked.
"Oh I don't know? How about a birthday present?" she said
"Oh shit." Stefan said
"You know what will just get something later. We have no time now." James said.
"Okay, yeah that sounds fine." I said grabbing my bags out of the trunk.
"So how do you want to do this?" Stefan asked.
"Um I don't know." I said.
"Okay just follow my lead." He said and grabbed my bags and his.
I just looked at him.
"Trust me. Ready guys." He said as he started walking to the hotel doors. We all followed.
We were greeted by Meredith coming and giving us both a hug at the same time and matt gave me a hug and patted Stefan on the arm considering his hands were full.
"Hey you guys!" Meredith said. "It's so good to see you again." She exclaimed.
"Yeah it really is." Matt said smiling.
"So are you going to introduce us, Bonnie?" Clara asked.
"Of course." I said "Guys this is Clara and James." I said pointing at the two of them.
"I didn't know they were invited." The Sarah chick said looking at James lustfully.
Sarah had pretty dark auburn hair that fell in soft waves down her back. She also had a natural glow to her skin and had pretty dark eyes. She was dressed kind of provocatively though.
And the new guy they were with also had dark auburn hair but had deep forest green eyes. He was also muscular and well fit. He had a nice smile.
"It's fine." Said that super sweet voice that could catch any man's attention.
Elena.
I still hadn't looked at her and Damon yet. But the whole point of coming was to show that I don't care anymore about what happened. So I turned to Elena and did the thing that I least expected myself to do,
"Happy birthday, Elena!" I said and gave her a hug.
"Thank you, Bonnie. I've missed you so much." She said. She sounded like she had tears in her eyes, which I couldn't return.
"Ok." Was what I said and I pulled away and looked at the person that I least wanted to look at right now. Damon.
"Hello, Damon." I said with a smile.
"Hi little red bird." He said with that smile that took my breath away and still kind of did.
I looked away when I heard Stefan say,
"Bonnie love, I'm going to set your bags right here okay." He said.
I guess that was he's lead.
"Okay baby." I said unsure.
Everyone was giving us confused looks but Elena and Damon's expression was priceless. They looked like they saw an Elephant give birth to a three headed cow.
"Are you to, you know together?" Elena asked.
Stefan walked up to me and draped his arm around my shoulders as I said,
"Yes, Stefan and I are boyfriend and girlfriend." I said putting a hand on his chest and smiled trying not to laugh at the flash in Damon's eye.
"I couldn't imagine being with someone other than Bonnie." Stefan said and I saw that same flash in Elena's eye as I saw in Damon's. Then Stefan did something that I wasn't expecting. He kissed me on the lips.
And Oh My god He was a good kisser. I kissed back without effort.
When he pulled away I saw Damon's jaw clench and Elena's mouth was a little bit agape. I just smiled.
"Well I guess were getting of that extra room we got considering you guess will be sharing." Meredith said and walked over to the counter to get me and Stefan a room to share.
"Well then." Was all Matt said and I smiled at him.
