AN: Sorry lovelies. I know it's a huge space between each upload, but ti's kind of hard to write when I get no inspiration at all, which most likely this chapter sucks. But anyways here it is :P
Graduation was just that, graduation. Names were called, and people walked across the stage receiving their diplomas. Right now Bonnie was sprawled out on the Salvatore's wooden floor, by the fireplace with her two best friends. Caroline was on the right of her, and Elena on her left. All there were laughing hysterically for no reason. Mainly due to the brownies Bonnie had baked and brought over, which had a special something inside of it.
"Remember that time at camp we all played truth or dare, and we dared that poor girl, with the blonde hair, to jump into the lake naked?"
"Oh yea!" Caroline beamed. "And she came back inside and her face was all swollen, because it was something in the lake that bit her and she was allergic?"
Bonnie laughed, nodding her head. "What was her name again?"
"Uhm. Pixie. That was her name." Elena chimed in.
"Yea, poor Pixie."
"Poor Pixie indeed." Came a voice from the other side of the room.
Caroline threw the first thing she could find. "Get out, you stalker, this is a girl's night." She said as whatever she threw collided with the wall and shattered.
"Looks like you owe me a new rug."
Care rolled her eyes. "You and your stupid fetish with rugs. I swear you like more like a woman than my Mom does." She pursed her lips at her statement. "Well pretty much anyone acts more womanly than my Mother. Why does my Mom lack woman-ness? How come I couldn't have a normal Mom that did normal Mom things, like shop; or buy herself a new nose or something? No. I got the Mom that liked to wear the pants in the relationship. Both figuratively and literally."
Damon raised an eyebrow, and Elena rolled over, hitting Caroline in her arm.
"Shut up. You're talking too much."
"Well she wouldn't be Caroline if she didn't." Bonnie said, sitting up.
"Thanks for that insightful speech on how manly your Mom is blondie, but I came down here to give the witch a graduation present."
"You got Bonnie a present, and not me? Or Elena? Don't you like hate her or something, but you give her present?"
"Caroline!"
"Well, it's true!"
Elena got up, pulling her blonde match up as well.
"I'm going to detoxicate her, before she has no friends. You two do…whatever." She said dragging her into the kitchen.
Bonnie got up off the floor, as Damon walked down the two steps leading in the living room.
"Kind of wish you didn't bring your little treat don't you?"
"What are you talking about?" Bonnie said looking at him.
"The brownies? I smelled the weed before you even came into the house."
She shrugged her shoulders. "She's high. She always says erratic things when she's out of her element."
"You know I don't actually hate you right?"
"That's kind of hard to believe. You've said it plenty of times, and not to mention you tried to kill me."
"Despite of what I said, I've done the exact opposite. I helped you come up with a plan to fool Klaus into thinking you were dead. I helped you find your Mother. It was me that showed you the house that the 100 witches died so you could harvest their power. I saved you from near death when you decided to become Alaric's blood bag. I was there on the island with you and Professor Creepy when you wanted answers that he didn't want to give. It was me who stayed on the island to find you, when everyone else left. And here recently I helped you trap Silas so you can turn him into stone, and then tossed his body into the ocean. What's the saying now-a-days? Actions speak louder than words?"
Bonnie was completely speechless. She never sat and thought about, until now that was. She tried to find a rebuttal but she couldn't. Not really anyway. Damon saw the look on her face and he rolled his eyes.
"You're trying to figure out all the bad I've done in that aren't you? So I tried to kill you once. That was because I was fixated on getting Katherine out the tomb, only to know she wasn't in there. And my anger wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at Emily. Then I turned your Mother into a vampire. Which I don't even see why you care that much considering the fact that she hasn't been a Mother to you in the last 15 years."
Bonnie took a defensive stance, and at that moment Damon was trying to figure out why he was even explaining himself in the first place. All he wanted to do was give her a gift, and here he was pouring his heart out like a 15 year old boy in one of those cheesy poorly written TV shows.
"I'm sorry. I don't even know where that came from…" He started out, he pulled the box from the back of his pocket and sat it on the table between them and pushed it over to her. "Here before I say something I'll regret and you won't feel obligated to take it."
She raised an eyebrow at him.
"Obligated? I should be suspicious of what it is. For all I know it can be some kind of charm that makes me attracted to you."
Damon scoffed.
"As if it'll take a charm to do a thing like that. "
Bonnie smiled and picked up the box, before opening it. It was a charm bracelet, and it was a little bird made of the lapis lazuli stone, like his ring and it was outlined in silver. She looked at the charm, then back at him.
"Damon I can't..."
"Yes you can, and you will."
He walked over to her, taking the bracelet and holding his hand out to her.
"May I?"
Bonnie gingerly placed her hand in his, and he clasped the bracelet onto her wrist. He looked up at her, his eyes boring into hers in that smoldering way. She couldn't help the blood that decided to travel up her neck and to her cheeks. His gaze was so heavy, how could you not feel overwhelmed by it. Damon smiled at her, and she suddenly became interested in her feet, and she dropped her hand from his.
"Thanks." She muttered out. "It's beautiful."
"No problem Little Witch."
Elena walked back out from the kitchen.
"I'm going to take her home, want to hitch a ride Bon?"
"No, I'll take her." Damon chimed in. "But let me talk to blondie first."
He walked over to the doppelganger and the neurotic blonde. He nodded his head to the kitchen and walked in, her following suite.
"What is it Damon? You want to talk payments plans for your rug?" She asked crossing her arms.
"No – well yes – but no. I want to go over what you said to Bonnie."
Caroline rolled her eyes.
"Didn't we just go over this? I wasn't thinking clearly. I was going to apologize."
"No, you are going to apologize. Not only because I said so, but also because if it wasn't for her you wouldn't be alive."
"What are you talking about Damon?"
"Against contrary belief, I didn't feed you my blood because of Elena. Actually I offered up the idea, Elena rejected it and Bonnie was the one that told me to do it. So if I were you I would show her a little more respect, whether you're in control of yourself or not. Got it?"
She looked at him a little bit in bewilderment, taking in the new information. She nodded her head slowly.
"Yea, yea. I got it."
Damon smirked a little and nodded.
"Good. You're free to go."
Caroline stood there for a while longer, before walking out and going to Bonnie.
"I'm really sorry for what I said Bon. I didn't mean it."
Bonnie eyed her curiously and slightly confused.
"I know Car. It's not a big deal."
"It is a big deal. You're always there for me, and I shouldn't say things like that to a friend."
She said putting emphasis on the word friend, and cutting her eyes at Elena, then back at Bonnie.
"Caroline, are you ok? What did Damon say to you?"
"Just something about paying him back for that stupid carpet of his." She rolled her eyes, and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you. For everything."
"You're welcome?" She asked, hugging her back laughing a little.
She smiled at her and looked back at Elena, practically glaring at her.
"I'm ready to go."
The brunette pursed her lips, and followed Caroline out, looking back at Bonnie, who shrugged.
"Well that was weird." Damon said walking back from the kitchen with a glass of blood in his hand.
Bonnie looked at him, raising an eyebrow and he smiled at her leaning against the wall, taking a sip of liquid in his glass.
FYI. I'm not trying to make Elena out to be a bad person. I just thought it'd be fun if Damon stirred up some trouble because he is Damon after all. But aside from that I hope you enjoyed it and stay tuned.
