Chapter Five (part 2)
Rushing down to the living room, Bonnie literally ran into Caroline. "IS everything alright Bon? You look a bit frazzled." asked a worried Caroline. Bonnie simply nodded behind her. "Oh." said Caroline realizing why Bonnie was so freaked. Rolling her eyes Bonnie grabbed Bonnie's hand and said to the boys "We'll be outside waiting for Aunt Jenna and Ric."
As they waited outside, Caroline asked, "What exactly happened upstairs Bonnie?" with a huge grin plastered on her face. Bonnie simply ignored her and called Jenna. "Hey Bonnie! Me & Ric are gunna be a bit late, why don't we just all meet there." said Jenna. "Sure" replied Bonnie, "See you soon." Bonnie turned around and was about to call for Caroline and the brothers when she jumped. Both boys were already directly behind her. Angry Bonnie said, "You guys really have to stop doing that!" Both brothers just grinned in response. Rolling her eyes she told them that they were going to meet Aunt Jenna at the beach. Heading into their respective cars, Bonnie drove with Caro in her car while the boys went in Damon's.
Thirty minutes later they were at the beach. Walking onto the sand Bonnie spotted Jenna's ginger hair. "Jen!" yelled Bonnie excitedly. "Hey Bonnie." replied Jen and hugged Bonnie then Caroline. Alaric came behind and said, "Why don't us boys set up a spot on the beach while you girls change." "Great idea Ric" said Caroline and all three girls left to the changing rooms.
"I still can't believe your making me wear this." exclaimed Bonnie to Caroline. "Making you wear what?" asked Jenna. Bonnie then exited her changing room and showed Jenna her swimsuit. "You look hot." said Jenna to Bonnie and Bonnie simply rolled her eyes. Bonnie was about to put on her shorts when she heard a whistle behind her. There stood Damon Salvatore publicly ogling Bonnie's half-naked body. "Damon!" shouted Bonnie, "Stop looking at me that way." "Then you should have worn more clothes little witch." replied Damon grinning.
Having had enough of Damon's immatureness, Bonnie stalked down to the beach. Going up to Stefan and Ric, Bonnie asked, "Hey do you guys need help with the grill?" "Sure" started Stefan "you can help by…" *clink*. Stefan's spatula fell to the floor when he saw Bonnie clad in her red bikini. After being rendered inaudible for a few moments, Stefan was able to calm himself and said "Bonnie you look very beautiful today." Blushing, Bonnie managed a quick "Thank you." and began to help him.
Five minutes later Caroline, Jenna and Damon returned. Damon ran over to Bonnie and quickly began to try and gain her attention but she was ignoring him. "I'm sorry Bonnie" he began, "it's just that you look really hot today is all. Forgive me?" Showing her his puppy eyes Bonnie couldn't say no so she accepted his apology and he helped her cook the burgers. Damon had just cracked a joke making Bonnie laugh loudly when Stefan asked if perhaps they could go for a quick stroll. Ignoring Damon's glare at Stefan she accepted and they set off.
Midway into their walk Bonnie stopped him and suggested they speak because she had something very important she had to talk to him about. "Now I know you say you like me Stefan, but I need to know why." she said to him. Stefan looked at her confused. She sighed and said, "I need to know reasons Stefan. Do you actually like me or am I just their filling in Elena's place?" This question caused him to become mute. Bonnie got up and told him "When you figure it out, tell me and we'll go from there."
As Bonnie retreated back to the others, a hand stopped her by grabbing at her wrist. Shaking her head she started to say, "Stefan I literally left you two seconds ago, you couldn't have possibly made a decision." "I'm not Stefan sweetheart." said a voice she recognized but couldn't put a face to. As she turned around she came face to face with Elijah, the original that had tried to help save Elena. "Elijah" she said, "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to help you Bonnie." he replied, "There are rumors going around within the vampire community that my brother wants you." Before she could respond she heard a growl and was pushed against someone's chest. "Stay away from her." roared an angry Damon. "Great" Bonnie said mentally, "I'm in the middle of a vampire fight yet again."
