Okay I know this is a Bamon story but I wanted to write a Bonnie/Elena scene centered around Bamon so here it is. I hope it's not too boring or that you guys aren't too disappointed that Damon isn't in it lol. I thought it'd be nice to see an Elena we don't usually see in the show (i.e. supportive and in touch w/ what's going on w/ Bonnie). Sorry to all you Elena lovers out there…don't mean to offend it's just my opinion. I still love you guys haha. Thanks for all your reviews! Love, BamonTivaLove

"So then he brings in a dead squirrel and tells Stefan to have a feast," says Elena, rolling her eyes as she tells me about Damon's latest exploits.

I have to cover my mouth to keep from laughing, thankful that my head is in my closet and out of Elena's view. Months ago I would've bad mouthed Damon and agreed with my best friend on how awful he was but now it was something different entirely. To me, Damon had become like a mischievous but good hearted child; he was no longer the cruel, evil monster I'd pictured him as for so long.

"Wow," I say, finally turning around when I've gained my composure. "I hope it was already dead when he got to it."

Elena looks at me as if I've just bad mouthed her dead parents.

"Bonnie," she says, in a tone that tells me she was expecting an entirely different response.

"I mean what an asshole," I say quickly. "That is so wrong."

Elena furrows her eyebrows and I can tell she doesn't believe me at all.

"He's really gotten to you hasn't he," she says, after a few moments of silence.

"What are you talking about?" I ask, folding a pair of jeans and throwing them in my dresser.

"Damon," she replies, hugging one of my pillows. "I mean, you used to hate him and now, it's like your feelings have changed completely."

I look at Elena, trying to decide whether I should let her know exactly how much my feelings for him have changed. I figure I can trust her but the only thing stopping me is her history with Damon. I give in.

"They have," I say, shrugging. "Damon is not who I thought he was."

"Who is he?" she asks, tilting her head.

I shrug again. "I don't know he's just different than what I expected. He's strong and loyal and sweet even."

"Sweet?" she asks, raising her eyebrows in disbelief. "To you?"

"Yes to me," I say, throwing a shirt at her. "What, a guy can't be sweet to me?"

"A guy yes," she says, smiling. "Damon? I don't know."

"Well he is," I say, rolling my eyes. I go to my bed and sit down at the edge so that I'm facing Elena.

"There's so much more to him than I thought Elena," I say, smiling in a way I could only describe as school girl-ish. "I mean, when we're alone together it's like nothing I've ever felt. It's like we're in our own little world."

Elena smiles good heartedly. "That sounds nice."

"It is," I say, nodding. "When I'm with Damon I just feel like I get to see this secret side of him that no one else sees."

"And he gets to see the secret side of you," she replies.

"What are you talking about?" I ask, completely caught off guard.

"C'mon Bonnie," she says, as if it's obvious. "There's always been a part of yourself that you've kept hidden from the world. And after Grams died it got even worse."

I take this all in, never realizing that Elena ever noticed any of this.

"I guess you're right," I agree. "As crazy as it sounds I trust Damon more than anyone. Except you of course."

Elena hugs me quickly and says, "I know he loves you Bonnie. It's real. I still want you to be careful though."

"I am," I say. "I'm being very careful."
