*I own nothing [sad face], but if I did I'd make all your wildest dreams come true lol.*
A/N: I think I know who I want to be endgame now [hehehe]. And my people do not fret Bonnie won't be forgiving anyone for a while. This chapter is mostly Jake/Bonnie, mostly because Bonnie doesn't like anyone else right now lol, but eventually [maybe around chap. 8] she might consider making amends. Thanks for the reviews guys they mean a lot ;).
All Hell Breaks Loose…
Bonnie sat anxiously at one of the high tables with Elena nervously tapping her nails. "Where the heck was Caroline" being the continuous thought bleeping in her mind. She felt highly awkward sitting alone at a table with Elena. That alone was a true testament in how low their friendship had fallen. Bonnie felt like she was on some blind date with a stranger she was mildly attracted too. The fact of the matter was the two of them were not cool and a one night truce wouldn't shut off her emotions.
Elena twirled the chocolate curls in her hair timidly. Bonnie hadn't spoke a word to her or looked her way since they found the table 10 mins ago. She had graciously grabbed Elena's hand and led her through the crowded bar so they wouldn't get separated, but as soon as she seen a table she dropped her hand as if she had the plague. She flicked her eyes in Bonnie's direction for the 15th time; she really wanted to say something but knew better. Things were not settled in the least between them. So to keep the night going the best thing to do was tread lightly with this "one night" truce thing.
She had been under the impression that if she gave up her friendships with the brothers then Bonnie would forgive her. That she'd have her best friend back in no time, because honestly her and Bonnie could never stay mad at each other for long. So day by day she'd been cutting down contact with both of them to bear minimum. She wanted Bonnie to know that she was team her always and that the stunt that they pulled was not flying with her. But since their spat at Caroline's she was now sure that Bonnie's problem mostly lied with her and not Stefan and Damon. She had figured Bonnie blamed her mostly, but to hear her say it tugged at her heart.
Bonnie exhaled deeply she was going to kill the blonde vampire when she returned. Feeling those pesky baby browns on her she faced Elena who quickly looked away. Just as her lips separated to address her creepy friend the sounds of breaking glass garnered their attention. Both girls' head snapped to the bar where people were rushing around.
"Oh my God get down!" Bonnie yelled over the chaos immediately thinking shots were being fired. The image of Jeremy getting shot in the forefront of her mind.
"Bonnie, Caroline's over there!" Elena screamed over the chaos.
"Damn it!" Bonnie groaned as lifted from her perch under the table. "Let's Go." she called to Elena as she made her trek to the bar.
"Oh shit." Caroline groaned as she seen Damon fly from the bar to speed tackle Jake.
"Oh shit." Caroline winced as Jake used a magical boost to send Damon careening against a table.
"Oh shit." Was the mantra Caroline gasped every time she saw a fist fly.
Bonnie was going to kill her was her next fleeting thought. Remembering that she was a badass vampire she began pushing humans left and right so they wouldn't feel any of Damon's wrath.
"Hey you guys have to take that outside." the bartender warned.
"Shut up!" Damon barked effectively compelling him.
The bartender nodded and went about business as usual as if the fight wasn't happening. Patrons screamed and headed for the door others starting drunken fights of their own. All hell was breaking loose fast.
"Wrong move hitting me, kid." Damon laughed menacingly as he delivered another slew of punches to Jake's face.
He had gotten the upper hand again and was beating Jake's pretty little face to a pulp. That is until wildflowers and vanilla infiltrated his senses once more. His split second of ADD was all Jake needed to gain back favor, before he could blink Damon found himself pressed tightly against a wall with a chair leg in his torso.
"Who's laughing now dick!" Jake smirked cockily.
Elena shrieked as she came upon the scene of Damon bloody against the wall. Bonnie gasped as her eyes darted from a bloody Damon to an even bloodier Jake. Her eyes widened significantly once her mind recollected who these people were to her and where they were at.
"What the hell!" Bonnie shouted as she ran her hands through her hair. She couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Damon and Jake were not fighting right now this had to be a joke.
"Stop it!" Elena screamed as she saw Damon move past them clutching Jake's neck.
Jake must have did something because Damon's hand soon caught fire and he was flailing it around dangerously.
"You guys can't do this!" Bonnie cried. "We're in public you could hurt someone!"
And just like that the two UFC fighters stopped in their tracks, fists frozen in mid air inches away from the others face. Neither of them wanted to back down Jake was definitely an angry belligerent drunk. Damon, well Damon was always belligerent so to say that neither was willing to be the bigger man in this instance was quite accurate.
Caroline stood idly by as they all seen Jake's eyes darken and his mouth moving. Before anyone could ask a question they noticed that everyone in the Mystic Grill was frozen. Yes, straight up stuck like Piper herself had walked into the building.
Damon stood shocked for a moment. He had to admit he was impressed by the little asshole. And to show his gratitude for being able to finish this fight his left fist connected to Jake's right jaw and the kid flew back like superman.
The girls screamed and Bonnie poised herself set on giving Damon an aneurysm when a dark eyed Jake appeared again arm out sending Damon to the ground. Damon was coughing violently as blood expelled from his mouth as his skin began taking on a murky ashen color.
"Jake that's enough stop!" Bonnie pleaded her eyes still on Damon's squirming form.
Things were getting out of hand fast and the feral look in Jake's eyes shook her to the core. She could feel the power spewing off of Jake in waves his onyx eyes intensifying. Fear was still creeping up her system and it made her realize that maybe she didn't know Jake as well as she thought.
Elena's screaming brought her back to reality Damon had managed to garner enough strength to push Jake into the crowd of frozen people, as they all fell like bowling pins. Jake hopped up fast on pure adrenaline as he and Damon began tumbling.
"Bonnie do something, they're going to kill each other!" Caroline said frantically.
Bonnie just blinked stunned because what they didn't know was that she had been trying to do something since Jake froze everyone. His power was just no match for hers at the moment unless, she took a deep breath and strutted over to the two men. Now was not a time to retreat to her old self she was a witch, a Bennett witch and the had great power. She touched a hand to both of their shoulders and began to chant channeling their powers into her. Essentially draining them after a few minutes they dropped to their knees weakly .
Elena immediately ran to Damon's side to help him up. Bonnie released them and started taking several steps away from everyone. Jake looked at Bonnie apologetically quickly sobering up. He had lost control tonight and took his anger out on Damon. Usually he would have ignored the older vamp, but Mark's visit had set him off. He walked over to Bonnie and tried to grab her hand, but she took a cautious step back.
"Bon, I'm really sorry about this I don't know what came over me." Jake spoke taking her hand.
Damon spat out some blood, venom in his eyes. There was no way in hell he was going to let Jake sweet talk Bonnie into forgiving him. He had started this stupid fight and Damon wasn't taking the blame for anything else concerning Bonnie.
"Hey Bon, didn't you teach your little boyfriend its rude to kiss and tell?"
Bonnie arched an eyebrow at Damon words and turned to Jake. Damon took this as his cue to continue.
"Yea, he let me know just how sweet you were. How could you let that bastard fuck you." he sneered.
Caroline and Elena gasped at Damon's harsh words. Jake looked away from Bonnie, unable to meet her eyes. He had really messed up now he glared at Damon wanting nothing more then to incinerate the older vampire.
Bonnie felt the raging heat of anger crawl over her. "Shut up, Damon."
"Is it true Bon?" Elena couldn't help but asking.
Caroline simply stared because she knew if and when Bonnie hit the milestone of losing her virginity that she would be the first to know. And the fact that Jake implied she had, to Damon of all people made him lose his appeal. He was scum of the Earth in her book now.
"Bonnie you know I wouldn't say anything like that." Jake reasoned. "You know how Damon can be."
"What are you saying I'm a liar now Jack? Because you sure insinuated it." Damon hissed angrily snatching out of Elena's grasp. If its one thing Damon hated was being called a liar. Did he sometimes bend or glaze over the truth? Sure. But he was honest, brutally honest as a matter of fact.
Bonnie faced Jake she honestly didn't know what to think right now. The last thing she needed right now was more drama. Tonight she had seen two other faces of Jake that were deathly different than the one she was accustomed to. But she also didn't want to lose her cool on Jake in front of Damon.
"It doesn't matter because it isn't true." Bonnie bit out. "Even if it was I don't see why its any of your business Damon or anyone else's."
Damon was inches away from Jake when Bonnie intercepted placing a hand on his chest to halt his movements. "Damon don't." Their eyes locked briefly when Jake spoke up.
"Don't make me beat your ass again Salvatore." Jake spoke between clenched teeth.
"Jake…" Bonnie warned.
Damon laughed as Bonnie gave Jake one of her reprimanding looks that was usually reserved for him. Who was this guy kidding, this was child's play to Damon if he wanted Jake dead he would be.
"Don't write a check that your ass can't cash Jakey boy." Damon shrugged nonchalantly. "The only reason you're still breathing right now is because of her." he stated pointing to Bonnie.
Bonnie pinched the bridge of her nose. What the hell was going on here and why were they even fighting in the first place. She sighed rubbing her temples.
"I want to go." She spoke to no one in particular.
Jake grabbed her hand again "I'll take you."
Bonnie shook her head and released her hand from his grasp. "No, I just need to be away from you, from this."
Jake frowned at her words. He couldn't lose Bonnie not like this, maybe hitting the vampire wasn't his best move but he did it for her. Because he cared about her.
"I'll take you Bon." Caroline offered. "Elena you can catch a ride with Damon right?"
Elena just nodded in a daze. The whole fight leaving her bewildered and curious; and leaving with Damon would give her a chance to get all her questions answered.
"Wow, never mind asking the driver Blondie. Sure I don't mind taking the princess home." Damon yelled to Caroline and Bonnie's retreating forms.
He really didn't want to deal with Elena right now his emotions were bouncing off the wall with anger. All he wanted right now was to go home and delve in the 3 B's -bourbon, blood, and booty- and he could bet his bottom dollar that Elena wasn't giving up her goods to anyone not named Stefan.
Jake had dipped out between Bonnie's rejection and Damon's last words to Caroline. As soon as he left the patrons on froze and Damon sighed exasperatedly. They left him to clean up the mess and who knew how long it'd take to compel all these people.
"So was any of what Jake implied true?" Caroline asked as she pulled into Bonnie's driveway.
The brunette decided that she wasn't up for a girl's night anymore all she wanted to do was bury her head in a pillow and maybe, just maybe pilfer that bottle of Moscato from her dad's liquor cabinet.
She sighed and turned to the gossiping queen. "We didn't have sex, we don't have sex. The first night we met we were both looking for a good time and he-" a pause. She so didn't want to have this conversation because Caroline would want to know every single detail. "He went down on me." she mumbled.
"What!" Caroline clasped her hands excitedly. Bonnie glared at her she knew darn well what she said she used her vampire hearing religiously.
"Care…" Bonnie groaned.
"You have to spill the deets! Was it good? Better yet was he better than Jeremy?" she squeaked out.
"Good night Caroline." Bonnie drawled bashfully.
Caroline rolled down her window as Bonnie began up the sidewalk. "Oh come on Bon. Don't be a prude you can't just drop a bomb and not expect it to explode." she whined.
Bonnie gave her nosy best friend one more wave before putting her key in the lock and going inside. Caroline pouted in pulled out of the driveway, she'd let Bonnie off the hook tonight but tomorrow she would get all the tea.
Jake walked the dark streets of downtown Mystic Falls stopping as he got to Falls Inn a cheaper imitation of Motel 6. He chuckled to himself for Mark being this easy to find; his only flaw was his frugality. Mark was a penny pincher so Jake knew he'd be at the cheapest dump around.
"Can I help you?" the cute little redhead asked behind the counter.
Jake flashed his hundred watt smile and leaned over the counter. "I was wondering if you could help me find out what room my friend's in?"
The redhead nibbled her bottom lip and lowered her eyes. "Its against the rules…" she trailed off.
Jake swiped a curl from the girls' eye and smirked. "I won't tell if you won't, Amanda." he added reading her name tag.
She blushed and shifted her eyes to the manager's office. "Under one condition."
Jake looked her straight in the eye. "What is it?"
"You give me your number." she smiled.
Jake grabbed the blackberry that sat next to her, picking it up dialing in some random number. He glanced at her and deleted it putting his real number she looked like the type to call before he even walked out the door.
She grinned as he handed her back the phone. "Okay, what's his name?"
Jake reached over to stroke her cheek. "Mark. Mark Harris."
Amanda nodded and searched the name in the computer file. Once she came upon the unsuspecting tenant she reached behind her and grabbed the keys for room 4b.
"Thanks." Jake winked walking towards the door.
"Hey what's your name?" Amanda called from her post behind the counter. Noticing that he didn't put it with his number.
Jake paused, the temptation of saying Damon Salvatore on the tip of his tongue. "Nick." he called without a backwards glance.
Once Jake found the room the door opened to his shock with Mark facing him.
"I wondered how long it'll take before you found me." Mark bellowed.
Jake shrugged. "I had business to attend first, but I think we should cut the small talk."
Mark squinted his eyes in confusion, Jake pushed Mark into the room slamming the door. He pulled out his witch hunter's dagger and the two struggled for dominance of it. Jake upper cut Mark and swiftly stabbed him in the torso.
Mark began choking on his blood as Jake dug the dagger deeper.
"Never threaten me again."
Damon plopped unto the recliner in front of the fireplace a cold blood bag on his torso and a glass of bourbon on his eye. Pissed that he wasn't healing as fast as he should have been.
"What the hell happened to you?" Stefan asked a mixture of concern and amusement.
"Bonnie's really fucking with me." Damon groaned as he shifted positions.
Stefan took a seat on the couch opposite his brother. "What did you follow her again and she went through with her promise of trying to kill you?" Stefan mused.
Damon rolled his eye then winced as pain shot through his left one. "No Boy Wonder part deux just pissed me off. Who is he to tell me to stay away from Bonnie he barely knows her or me."
"So you got in a fight with the man witch? Over Bonnie…" Stefan laughed. "And lost?"
Damon scoffed appalled. "I did not lose you should see him. The little bastard voodoo-ed me so I wouldn't heal as fast."
Stefan nodded. "Mmhmm. So why not just stay away from Bonnie, why fight about it?"
Damon opened his mouth and closed it. Did he really want to disclose to Stefan that what really pissed him off was that slick comment he made about the witch. Tha the thought of Bonnie sleeping with the "man witch" ticked him off. No, that would just feed into Stefan's delusional thought that he was obsessing over the little witch.
"He wanted to embark in a pissing contest with me so I obliged. Plus the little bitch hit me. In the face of all places I think he's jealous of me." Damon concluded.
Stefan raised a brow but bit his tongue. "Was Bonnie there when all this went down."
"Oh yeah, the three musketeers were front and center." Damon chuckled downing the brown liquid.
"What do you mean front and center? Is Elena okay, did she get hurt?" Stefan asked leaning forward towards Damon.
"Tsk-tsk careful Stefan your humanity is showing." Damon teased.
Stefan's eyes flashed red as he fell back unto his seat.
"Rapunzel is fine, still fickle as ever so cool your jets." Damon mused.
"I'm really surprised you made it home in one piece." Stefan retorted drinking his own bourbon.
"Oh I'm not the only one who will be begging for her forgiveness. She was really perturbed at jake-ass."
Jake pulled into the driveway of his home disoriented. Had he really just killed one of his close friends? He rubbed his hands down his face wincing when he seen they were covered in blood. He had to get out of the car and out of these clothes. His face was hot with unshed emotion he needed a shower to clean the blood off his hands. To rid himself of this awful night.
He stumbled his way unto the porch his hands trembling as he battled to get the key in the hole. Finally hearing the little click letting him know the door unlocked he pushed it open halting in his steps horrified when he seen the person in front of him.
"Jake? Oh my God what did you do?"
I know I'm cruel but I'm working on my cliffhangers lol. I think this chapter was pretty eventful and who the heck is in Jake's house? I didn't really proofread but I will later so excuse my mistakes Reviews are love.
