Firstly how did we all enjoy the last episode. I loved it. It was great, especially the scene at the Boarding House. My new favourite nickname is 'Judgy' : D
But I have to say my happiness was tainted by the last scene in the episode. I am a huge Stefan/Paul Wesley fan and him crying broke my heart so much. Again, he proved what a great actor he is.. Anyway enough of that, so…

Chapter 9 - I Cant Think Of A Chapter Name
Bonnie was lying in her bed, lost in deep thoughts. She was so confused these days. She didn't know what to think or what to feel. She was just so confused. She thought about Damon a lot these days. Especially after that cosy night they spent in her house 2 days ago. He was sweet and frustrating and…and just Damon. She was seeing the other sides of Damon that she hadn't seen before, or that she had refused to see. But now it was getting harder and harder to deny that side of him. It was getting harder to ignore him. Hating Damon and ignoring him was so much easier than understanding him and…liking him for who he actually is. For accepting him. She accepts Damon now the way he is, and if she was honest with herself, she wouldn't like Damon any other way.
Bonnie got up with a sigh. Why was she thinking about him again? Why was she understanding him, accepting him? She didn't need this, not now. She didn't need this confusion that she was feeling now.
Why was she getting upset when he was, why was se getting happy when he was? She didn't understand it. She didn't understand it one bit. Thankfully this game would be over in 2 days and she could go back to her life before Damon. With or without Tyler. To be honest, she didn't even care anymore if Tyler asked her out or not. She was just continuing this because Damon was willing to, and she couldn't back out now. She knew Tyler wouldn't ask her out now, if so he would have done it ages ago. There was only 2 days left, what were the chances that he would ask her now?
"You know what I think?" Elena started as she and Bonnie was walking towards the school.
"What?" Bonnie asked.
"You guys are approaching this the wrong way"
"For what?" Bonnie asked confused.
"This Tyler thing. I thought about it. You and Damon need to 'end' it. I mean think about it, do you think Tyler would approach you if he thinks you're still with Damon? He needs to think you two broke up so he can ask you. I mean yeah Tyler is a jerk and he wouldn't care if the girl has a boyfriend or something but this is Damon, and even if he doesn't admit it Tyler is afraid of Damon" Elena explained.
Bonnie chuckled and contemplated what Elena said. What Elena had said was right, if Tyler didn't think they had 'broken up' he wouldn't approach her but they still had 2 days and Bonnie thought maybe after that 2 days he might ask.
"You're right, but there's still today and tomorrow and then after that he might-"
"No! Remember what we agreed on Bonnie. 3 weeks. During that time he either asks you out or at the end of 3 weeks you move on, forget about Tyler. Remember?" Elena asked.
"Yes I do. So what, we're going to finish the game early?"
"I guess. But if you want Tyler to take notice, that's what you have to do."
"Yeah, I suppose"
"Don't worry me and Caroline will spread the word around that you and Damon broke up. We'll make sure it gets to Tyler" Elena said and winked at Bonnie.
Though Bonnie didn't want to tell Elena she was somewhat sad that they were ending the game before it was necessary. She was enjoying this game they were playing.
"If it isn't the shower peepers!" They heard Damon approach them at the school gates with Stefan in tow. Damon went next to Bonnie whilst Stefan took his place next to Elena.
"Damon!" Bonnie warned, narrowing her eyes.
"What?" Damon asked innocently. "Where's the 3rd stalker? Peeping on someone else?"
"What are you talking about Damon?" Elena asked, confused.
"Just talking about your activities. The trio of shower peepers"
"Damon!" Bonnie warned again. "You promised!" she reminded him.
Damon smirked. "I didn't actually" he replied and turned to Elena.
"Elena. I don't want you around my girlfriend anymore, clearly you are a bad influence to her"
"I-I don't understand" Elena stammered.
Damon turned to Stefan. "Stefan do you know what your girlfriend does for a hobby? Well, to give her credit she wasn't alone, she had this little one with her along with the Blondie"
"What?" Stefan asked warily, whilst Bonnie was making faces and threats to Damon and blushing furiously.
"Damon I will kill you!" Bonnie said next to him.
Damon chuckled but ignored Bonnie. "They're a bunch of peeping Tom's. Yep you heard it right. You're girlfriend and her gang check out guys and their abs whilst there in the shower"
Elena gasped and blushed whilst Stefan's eyes widened, and Bonnie just wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.
"Elen-" Stefan started but Damon cut him off.
"Wait there's more… Well, don't allow this to get into your head or boost your ego but do you know who they're most impressive victim was? You" Damon told Stefan.
Stefan tried to hide his laughter, but he was having trouble. "I'm sorry me?" he asked.
"Only because they didn't see mine yet" Damon inserted.
Stefan turned around and looked at the girls, both were blushing and whispering furiously to each other, oblivious that Stefan was watching them.
"How could you tell him Bonnie!" Elena whispered to Bonnie.
"It just slipped. I didn't mean to!"
"I'm going to kill you. Now Stefan's going to think I'm a peeping Tom!"
"Like Damon doesn't think the same thing of me!"
"I'm sorry Damon. Would you care to enlighten me more. I don't understand" Stefan said, biting his cheek.
"Argh, you're so slow Stefan. Well here it is. Apparently these girls here, checked you out whilst you were in the shower"
"But it was before you and Elena was going out!" Bonnie said quickly.
"And…You lot was impressed with what you saw? I was the most impressive? Well I'm flattered" he said smirking.
"Dude I told you to now allow that to get to your head. Out of all those things I tell you that's what you get? Get over yourself" Damon said, rolling his eyes.
"What do you want me to get out of it Damon. So they checked me out? So what?"
"Get that smug smile of your face" Damon retorted, not happy that his brother was revelling in this information. When he had told this, he had expected Stefan to shy away, become all embarrassed and everything. Not this smugness, like he was happy that they had checked him out.
"I cant believe you told him Bonnie. I really want to throttle you now" Elena said. She dying from embarrassment. Yes, Stefan was her boyfriend now, but she still didn't want that information to be known to him.
"Hey. Don't go hard on her. She just slipped. She hadn't meant to tell" Damon said defending Bonnie.
"She shouldn't have though. It was a secret"
"Its not like you haven't told her secrets to me Elena. Remember Tyler?" Damon said quickly becoming annoyed. "You're even now"
"Well its just as well that you two are 'fake breaking up' today. Now we wont have Bonnie slip more secrets to Damon" Elena said, finally calming.
"Wait- what?" Damon asked turning his attention to Bonnie.
"Erm yeah" Bonnie answered Damon.
"We're breaking up? I mean finishing the game?" he asked.
"Yeah, its just that-" Bonnie started but was interrupted by the school bell. "Anyway gotta go" she said and ran towards the building.
"I will be waiting here after school for an explanation" Damon called out after her.
"So explain" Damon started as Bonnie came next to him.
"Its nothing. This morning Elena told me that if Tyler doesn't see or think that we broke up, he wont approach me - that is if he wants to - and I realised that she was right"
"But we still had today and tomorrow"
"I know. But I had made a promise to Elena. I had said that if Tyler doesn't ask me out I will quit, move on. At the end of that 3 weeks I would move on. He only has today and tomorrow"
"Right. So…If he doesn't ask you, you're gonna move on?"
"Yep. I'm not gonna let him go"
"So we're not gonna see each other these 2 days?" Damon asked.
"Yeah. I mean we'll still be friends and everything its just that we cant be seen together. Tyler thinks we broke up. Elena and Caroline literally told the whole school to make sure he heard. It was crazy" she told him, chuckling.
"Well. I'll see you tomorrow then" Damon said.
"Why?"
"Well, I want to know how its going to go"
"Oh. Ok. See you later" she said and started to walk but Damon's voice stopped her.
"Do you love him?"
Bonnie paused, and turned round to face him. "You knew the answer, when we first started this"
"Yeah. But I wanna know about now"
Bonnie stayed silent. Could she answer this question? Did she know the answer to this question?
Instead she said, "See you later Damon" and walked away.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed.
