I'm so sorry its taken me so long to update! I've had horrible writer's block lately and nothing has been coming out right. Thankfully, Bonnie inspired me and she pretty much is this chapter. She is just so kick ass. I might just write a story on her in the future. Anyways, this is your last chance to vote on the poll about the gender of the baby so don't forget to do that! Next chapter is going to be set about two months into the future and the story is going to pick up speed after that. Review!
Bonnie stared at the boy she thought she loved, her insides feeling icy. When she looked into Luka's brown eyes, she no longer saw warmth and love and familiarity. She saw a liar, a fake and a stranger. Luka had been lying to her about everything. It was lies from the moment they spoke. Had anything over the course of the last year been truthful? Or was it all just part of their plan? She felt stupid. She felt like a dumb, clueless girl who had been oblivious to the fact that her "kind, sweet, perfect" boyfriend was actually a lying fake. How could she have not known that Luka and Jonah were working with Elijah? Now that she knew the truth, she didn't understand how she could have possibly overlooked it. It was so obvious. They show up a little after Elijah did and Elijah and Elena's deal stated that he would keep those who she loved safe. She'd never felt so much anger and foolishness in her life.
"Bonnie, please let me explain," he pleaded, his brown eyes desperate and wide. He took a step forward and she sent him a warning expression. The calm, cool, collected Bonnie that had been dealing with Jonah and Damon was replaced by pissed, crazy, soon to be ex girlfriend Bonnie.
"You're a liar, Luka," she said. "There is nothing to explain."
"Yes, there is," he said, willing her to understand his point of view. "I couldn't tell you the truth. I wanted to but I couldn't."
"Why not?" she asked, her voice rising with exasperation. "You could have been honest with me. You could have just explained everything and everything would have been okay!"
"Its not that simple," he disagreed.
"It is that simple!"
"Bonnie, it just isn't!" he said, running a hand over his head. "I couldn't jeopardize getting my sister back."
"I would have helped you!" Bonnie said, knowing it was the truth. She would have done everything possible to help them. That was who she was. It hurt her to think that Luka didn't know that. "You know me! You know that I would do that."
"I know that now," he explained. "But Bonnie, I didn't then. I didn't know who you were or what you believed. I didn't know how protective and caring you were. I just didn't know."
"What about after you figured all that out?" she asked, feeling a heavy weight begin to form where her heart was. "Why didn't you explain everything?"
He sighed, looking defeated. "Bonnie, by the time I knew that I could trust you, I knew that you wouldn't trust me anymore. I knew you wouldn't forgive me for lying to you."
"You don't know that," she argued. "Maybe if you had told, if you had just been honest with me I could have forgiven you."
"I couldn't risk losing you," he said.
She felt tears begin to form and she tried to blink them away. Instead, blinking caused them to escape from her eyes and roll down her cheeks. She didn't try to wipe them away or hide. She wanted Luka to know that he hurt her by lying to her. "But don't you see?" she asked, her voice sounding sad and hurt. "You have lost me."
The words hurt her like a physical blow and she almost took them back. She almost fell into his arms and sobbed, saying everything would be okay and they could work it out. They could get past this bump and be normal again. They could make it work. But she didn't because she knew the truth. Nothing between them would ever be the same. He had lied about everything for so long. She couldn't trust him. There would always be secrets between them. Jonah had said that they couldn't tell them how they were going to defeat Klaus. That was a secret from the beginning. She just had to face it. Luka and her were over. For good.
Hurt shown on his face and he took another step forward. Just like before she stopped him. She put her hands out in front of her and shook her head, more tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Please Bonnie," he begged. "I can fix this."
"You can't," she said, feeling the conversation coming to a close. "I trust you to protect Elena and everyone she loves, but I can't trust you in any other way."
"I love you," he said, desperately. "Don't do this."
"Its already done," she said, turning on her heel and making her way back to her car. She didn't look back the long way back to the car. She stayed strong. Damon's car was gone and she was grateful. She was about to burst into pieces and she didn't particularly want him to see that. The hatred she had always felt towards Damon was slowly fading and she was beginning to trust him. She still was wary of him at times, but she knew that he loved Elena and would never hurt her. In no way did she see friendship in Damon, but she saw somewhat of a comfortable truce. She knew that in the future, instead fighting against each other, they would be fighting with each other.
She finally reached her car and got inside, happy that she was alone. She pulled in a quivering breath and started her car, wanting to get away from this place. She had no idea how long she had been driving until the sun came up, making everything look bright and happy. She continued to drive nowhere. She didn't want to go home to her empty house and she sure as hell wasn't going back to Luka's, though she had to at some point to get her stuff. Oh well, she'd worry about that later. She could always go to Caroline's but she probably wasn't alone and she did not need to walk in on Caroline and Tyler hooking up. She could always call Elena, but she knew that Elena was with Damon.
She sighed, weighing her object.
To hell with it, she thought and picked up her phone. She dialed Elena's number and waited for her to pick up.
"Hello?" Elena answered, sounding like she had already been awake.
"Hey, Elena," Bonnie said, realizing how horrible her voice sounded.
"Bonnie!" Elena exclaimed. "Are you alright? What happened? Tell me everything!"
"Can we meet somewhere?" she asked.
"Of course," Elena said, not hesitating a second.
"Are you still with Damon at the boarding house?"
"Yeah, but I can go home and meet you there?"
"I'll just pick you up," Bonnie said, turning down a road that would lead to the boarding house. "We were suppose to be staying with each other anyways, remember?"
"Right," Elena said. "Yeah, I remember."
"I'll be there in a couple of minutes okay?"
"Okay," Elena said before hanging up.
"Alright," Elena said as they drove down the road to her house. "I called Jenna and told her we'd be coming and to get out the sad movies and ice-cream. I called Caroline too. She'll be there about the same time we'll be."
Bonnie felt so grateful to have a friend like Elena. She always knew what to do in any situation. "Thanks," she said, shooting her friend an appreciated look. "But I don't want you all to go to trouble for me."
Elena rolled her eyes. "Trust me, its not any trouble. We've been needing a girl's day anyways. This will be perfect. Jenna needs it to. Her best friend has been vodka since I told her everything."
Bonnie cringed. "She didn't take it well?"
"I think it was just learning everything at once," Elena explained. "It wasn't just telling her about vampires. It was telling her about vampires, werewolves, witches, doppelgangers, Originals, curses and babies all at once. Not to mention that she was pretty much the only one that didn't know about it."
"God, our lives are weird," Bonnie said, shaking her brown curls.
"That's for sure," Elena agreed.
The house came into view then and Bonnie pulled into the driveway behind Elena's car. They walked to the front door and Elena pulled out her key, unlocking it. Jenna was in the kitchen, waiting. She looked exhausted Bonnie noticed. Dark circles were underneath her eyes and she looked pale.
Bonnie offered a small smile to Jenna, who smiled back in return,. "You look horrible," Jenna said.
"You don't look so great either," Bonnie noted.
Jenna sighed. "You have no idea."
"Alright," Elena said, walking over to the fridge. She opened up the door and pulled out a huge container of chocolate ice-cream and then got spoons out of the drawer. Someone knocked at the door and Elena sat the stuff on the counter and went to get it. A few seconds later Caroline came in, movies, vodka and ice-cream in her hands. "I've got the Notebook, A Walk To Remember, Tristan & Isolde, the Titanic, alcohol and ice-cream."
"Perfect," Bonnie said.
Caroline came in and sat it all down on the counter.
They heard footsteps on the stairs and Jeremy appeared. He stopped when he saw all of them and what was on the counter. Sighing, he turned back around and said, "I'm going to go hang out with Tyler."
He disappeared out the door and they all laughed.
"I'll be needing that," Jenna said, reaching for the vodka.
"Share," Bonnie said.
"I can't believe Luka was lying this entire time," Bonnie fumed, sticking a spoon of chocolate ice-cream in her mouth, followed by a sip of vodka. Caroline, Elena, Bonnie and Jenna were all sitting on the couch. They had already watched Tristan & Isolde and A Walk To Remember and were about to put on the Titanic.
"I can't believe that you're a witch and you're a vampire," Jenna said, shaking her head in a disbelief. Bonnie handed her the ice-cream and vodka.
"I can't believe I'm a vampire," Caroline said, taking a bite. "And my boyfriend is a werewolf."
"I can't believe I'm pregnant," Elena said, taking the tub from Caroline. "And I'm with Damon."
"I can't believe no one told me!" Jenna said, exasperated.
The all gave her an apologetic look and a chorus of "sorry."
"Am I the only one who didn't know about this stuff?" she asked.
"Matt doesn't," Elena said, trying to make her aunt feel better.
Jenna shook her head. "My niece is pregnant and dating a vampire. She's needed to break a curse in which she dies. Her best friends are a witch and a vampire. My boyfriend is a vampire hunter with an ex-vampire wife. And I use to think having a druggie nephew was complicated."
Elena and Bonnie laughed. "And my boyfriend's a werewolf," Caroline said. "Don't forget that."
"How could I forget?" Jenna grumbled.
