Author's Note: You guys will not believe what Hell I've just gone through for the past few days. I'm now recovering from Hurricane Irma, which hit Florida this past Sunday. With the power being out for days, I held it through to make sure that I'd get this chapter done for you guys! The power is finally back (thankfully) so I finally have the chance to post it! I hope you guys enjoy it, and remember to NEVER take electricity for granted. Without further ado, here's Chapter 13 of Decisions!

Enzo awoke to the smell of bacon as he slowly blinked his way to consciousness. He was laid out on the couch with a thin blanket draped around his lower half. It took him a minute to process that he wasn't wearing any clothes—and that's when the vivid memories of the previous night came crawling back to him. He had slept with Angelina.

He groaned quietly as he pushed himself on his elbows, staring around the dimly lit living room. Traces of the night before were evident as their clothes lay scattered around the ground. Seconds later, Angelina drifted into the living room wearing nothing but Enzo's t-shirt on her small body.

"Morning, sunshine," she sang as she crouched down beside him. She had two plates of bacon and toast in her hands, pushing one towards him.

"I'm not very hungry," he admitted, taking the plate anyway.

"You should eat something. You haven't eaten in forever," she acknowledged, taking a seat on the couch opposite of his. He positioned the blanket to cover himself more, and she pretended not to notice.

"Angelina… about last night—

"We don't even have to talk about it," she interrupted, chuckling right afterward. He narrowed his eyes.

"We don't?" he responded. She shook her head as she bit into a slice of bacon.

"I'm not going to develop some weird attachment to you or anything like that, if that's what you were going to say. What we did was fun. You needed it to get your mind off of her. That's all it was," she told him nonchalantly. He breathed a sigh of relief as he sat the plate down on the coffee table. While he felt that Angelina was beyond gorgeous, his feelings for Bonnie were way too strong for him to even consider getting into something new with someone else at the moment. He was glad to hear that Angelina wasn't planning on trying to make something out of nothing.

"I'm glad we're on the same page, then," he spoke as his eyes searched the pile of clothes for his boxers. He spotted them in the corner of the room. He wrapped the blanket around his groin as he stood to his feet to retrieve them. Angelina watched him closely as he picked up his clothes, heading off toward the bathroom to change.

"Enzo," she called after him. He turned around swiftly to face her.

"Yeah?" he responded. She smiled as her eyes slowly trekked his body.

"If you ever need another distraction… you know where to find me," she whispered seductively. He chuckled lightly and licked his lips.

"Dually noted," he told her before scurrying off to the bathroom.

…

Bonnie dialed Enzo's number and pressed the phone to her ear, praying for a response. He had been ignoring her for days, and she was growing tired of it. She understood that he was hurt, but he was always the type to talk things out—he had never blatantly ignored her the way he was doing now.

The phone rung for a few seconds before the line clicked on. Her heart rate picked up at the realization that he had finally answered.

"Hello?" a female voice sang. She immediately connected the voice to Angelina as her stomach twisted into knots.

"Uh-uh… hi. Where's Enzo?" Bonnie stuttered.

"Oh, he's asleep beside me. Had a bit of wild night last night. May I ask who's calling? He doesn't have this number saved," she responded. Bonnie's heart skipped a beat at her words. She began to breathe heavily as she clutched the phone tightly in her hands.

She quickly hung up the phone before she could say something that she would regret.

As she slowly processed the information that she had just learned, Caroline came strolling out into the living room. Bonnie was bunking with her and Stefan until she could get on her feet, and she was grateful to her best friend for allowing her and Eliza to do so.

Caroline noticed Bonnie's distressed state and frowned. "Bonnie, are you okay?"

Bonnie blinked rapidly as she fought back the tears threatening to spill over. She nodded as she cleared her throat, her hands trembling lightly.

"I'm fine," she choked out as the unshed tears continued to well in her eyes. Caroline slowly made her way over to Bonnie as the tears finally began falling down her face. She shook her head roughly as she buried her head in her hands. "I'm not fine."

"I know you're not, sweetie," Caroline whined as she wrapped her arms tightly around Bonnie's frail body. Bonnie's tears vibrated into Caroline's shoulder as she lost control. "Tell me what's happening."

"I shouldn't even be crying right now," Bonnie whispered painfully. "I did this to myself. I destroyed me and Enzo by giving in to my feelings for Damon. I have no right to be upset about him and another woman."

"Woah, woah, woah—what?" Caroline shrieked as she pulled back from Bonnie. "Another woman?"

"Angelina," Bonnie answered weakly. "I called him—again—and this time… she answered. She just about told me that they fucked all night."

"Seriously? This soon? Enzo has more morality than that… that's sickening," Caroline spat. Bonnie allowed her breathing to return to normal as she looked away from Caroline.

"Like I said… I have no right to be upset. He's doing exactly what he feels I did to him," she confessed. Caroline remained silent as she looked at her with gloomy eyes, feeling completely sorry for her best friend. She couldn't imagine being in the predicament that she was in.

Seconds later, Stefan appeared in the living room, completely oblivious to what was taking place seconds earlier. He looked up at the two women and narrowed his eyes when he noticed the thick tension.

"Everything… okay?" he drawled out.

"When is everything ever okay?" Bonnie sighed, rising to her feet. She walked over to the crib that sat near the couch and peeked down into it, watching as Eliza slept peacefully. She was so beautiful.

"Well, Damon called. He wanted to come by to see Eliza," he spoke. Bonnie felt a ping in her stomach at his words. With everything that was going on, a visit from Damon would just complicate things even further. She couldn't keep him away from his child, though.

"Fine," Bonnie croaked, standing upright. "I'm going to go take a shower."

She brushed past a confused Stefan and headed directly into the restroom, slamming the door.

"What did I miss?" Stefan whispered. Caroline sighed heavily and rubbed at her temples—she felt a migraine forming.

"A lot," she responded. Almost seconds later, they heard a knock from the door. "I'll get it."

Caroline rose to her feet and trudged over to the door, swinging it open. An uneasy Damon stood at the door. Caroline cocked her head to the side, confused at his current stance. She had never seen him that disoriented.

"Are you okay?" she wondered. He nodded slowly as he stepped into the small apartment, his eyes searching the room.

"Where's Bonnie?" he asked.

"Shower," Stefan responded, pointing toward the door. Damon nodded once as his eyes averted to the crib. He slowly walked over and looked down at her, the ends of his lips curling into a smile. For the very first time, he had allowed himself to admire her. He began paying close attention to her features, taking in her curly, dark hair, her luminous, tanned skin, and her beautiful, long eyelashes. She slept so gracefully; Damon couldn't believe that he played a role in creating something so perfect.

"She's really… mine," he breathed with awe, stepping impossibly close to the crib.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Caroline smiled.

"She's perfect," he responded as he dipped down, taking her in his arms. She awoke abruptly, staring up at him with her gorgeous eyes. As she processed his touch, she smiled widely. It caused him to grin in response. "Hey there, munchkin."

"We'll give you guys some privacy," Stefan said, a calm smile on his face. He grabbed Caroline's hand and ushered her back into their bedroom, closing the door after him.

Damon walked over to the couch and relaxed in it, holding Eliza close to his chest. She was fully awake now, slapping her hands across Damon's face. He laughed out, grabbing her hands gently.

"Are you abusing daddy?" he cooed. "Just like your mother."

After a long while of playing with the happy infant, he had lost track of time. He simply couldn't get enough of her.

"You're here already," a voice spoke. He looked up and made eye contact with Bonnie. She had a robe on and her hair was drenched. Her eyes were red and swollen, and he knew that it wasn't from the shower. She had been crying.

"Hey, Bon, Bon," he spoke.

"Hi, Damon," she responded lowly. The awkward silence continued to grow thicker between them until Eliza cried out. She was trying to get Damon's attention.

"She likes you," Bonnie whispered as she walked over to sit next to them on the couch. She made sure to keep her distance, though.

"I'm starting to see our resemblance," he chuckled, pecking her cheek lightly. Bonnie looked between the two and smirked lightly.

"I don't," she teased.

"She looks more like me than you," he retorted as he studied her face. Bonnie looked over at her and pouted lightly.

"She kind of looks like my mother," she whispered as her mind drifted to her mom. Instantly, she longed to be in her presence. Damon nodded slowly as he noticed the slight resemblance.

"You're right," he breathed. She finally looked over at him and sighed shakily.

"Thank you for coming to see her," she told him quietly. He looked over at her and stared deeply into her eyes.

"She's my daughter. Of course I'm here. I'm going to always be here," he whispered back. As those words settled warmly within her, her phone started buzzing from the coffee table. She hesitantly broke eye contact with him, looking over at the caller ID. She had to do a double take when she noticed who it was that was calling; it was Enzo.
