Bonnie felt something soft like rose petals moving over her neck. She opened her eyes slowly, squinting at the morning sunshine. She found Damon kissing her neck and Bonnie weaved her fingers into his hair and pressed him closer. Damon looked up at her and kissed her nose. "Good morning, lovely," He whispered. He ran his hand down Bonnie's back and kissed her lips slowly. Bonnie returned the kiss before pulling away and sitting up in bed to stretch. "Good morning to you too," Bonnie replied smiling.
Suddenly, yesterday's events came rushing back to her and she swallowed nervously as she noted Isabella was no more. "Go take a shower, I'll be downstairs with Mr. and Mrs. Boring," Damon said as he rolled his eyes. Bonnie laughed before walking into the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later, Bonnie walked out of the bathroom and smelled pancakes. She quickly brushed her hair, and ran down the stairs into the kitchen. There, she saw Stefan and Elena getting pancake batter all over them. Elena laughed as Stefan licked batter off her cheek. "Hey guys," Bonnie said smiling as she slid onto the stool. "Bonnie! Are you alright?" Elena asked worriedly.
Bonnie nodded and smiled brightly as Damon walked into the kitchen. Elena placed a plate of pancakes down in front of Bonnie as Stefan filled her a glass of orange juice. "Thanks guys," Bonnie beamed while stabbing her fork into the pancake. "I think we all need to celebrate tonight," Elena declared. "What's the occasion?" Damon said as he watched Bonnie eat, fascinated by how much food could go into that tiny body.
Elena shrugged and said, "Isabella's death? What do you think Stefan?" Stefan smiled and replied softly, "Whatever you want." Elena grinned and looked at the new couple sitting on the stools. Bonnie looked at Damon who looked back at her. "If you're up for it," Damon said worriedly. Bonnie nodded at Elena who grinned.
"Great, we'll meet you guys at the grill at 6," Elena said quickly. "What?" Stefan and Damon said at the same time. Bonnie's fork hung in midair as silence filled the kitchen. "Why?" Damon demanded angrily, "If you forgot, Katherine is still out there and she's coming for US." He pointed to himself and Bonnie for exaggeration.
Elena rolled his eyes. "She probably didn't even get the news about Isabella yet, so relax," Elena argued. "Please Stefan? We're just going out to the mall and it's already one. Five more hours without you won't kill me," Elena said pouting at Stefan.
He sighed and grumbled, "Fine, but it better not kill you. I expect a text every hour. Miss ONE text and I'm coming to find you guys." Elena nodded as she grabbed her car keys and yanked Bonnie's plate away from her. Bonnie glared at her and looked at Damon who had stayed silent since his outburst. "Damon?" Bonnie asked softly looking at him. Damon sighed and nodded. He gave her a soft kiss before Elena yanked them out of the house. "It's just you and me, little brother," Damon said. Stefan groaned.
-At the Mall-
Elena and Bonnie entered the mall and found themselves going into a dress store. "We're getting outfits for tonight," Elena announced as she spotted dresses immediately and gathered them up in her arm. Bonnie groaned and said, "I don't think Stefan or Damon care what we wear." "True," Elena admitted, "but you and I need to impress them. So go shop!" Bonnie sighed before gathering dresses that she liked. By four, they had both chosen a dress and were walking back out to Elena's car.
Elena drove to her house where Bonnie and she got ready. Elena put her hair up in a French twist and added some eyeliner to give her a smoky look. She smacked on some clear lip gloss and pinched her cheeks to make her skin look flushed.
Bonnie left her hair in curls since she knew how much Damon loved them and put on gold shimmer eye shadow and mascara to lengthen her already long, dark eyelashes.
She, too, put on some clear lip gloss. Pretty soon, the girls were ready and it was just near 6. They got into Elena's car and drove over to the grill. When they entered the restaurant, all eyes turned to stare at them. Stefan's jaw dropped at how gorgeous they both looked and Damon appeared to be missing in action. Elena had a blood red dress on her with matching red pumps, and Bonnie had a Roman-style white dress on her with white stilettos.
Elena walked smoothly over to Stefan with Bonnie following suit. Stefan bent to kiss Elena and then stuttered, "Whoa, you guys look so beautiful." Bonnie and Elena both blushed and Bonnie quickly asked, "Where's Damon?"
Stefan frowned and said concerned, "He said he had to step out for a moment but it's been too long." Stefan started to maneuver towards the door but Bonnie stopped him and said smiling, "I'll go find him, he's probably not far. Spend time with Elena." Stefan hesitated but nodded. "Just scream if you need help, I'll hear you," He said warningly. Bonnie nodded before walking out of the door, catching the eye of every male except Stefan at the grill.
Bonnie inhaled as she sucked in the cool evening air and was about to call Damon's name when she heard gasps and giggles that sounded so familiar. Bonnie turned around the corner to the alley where Damon had confronted her after she had made the date with Ben. Bonnie's eyes widened as her heart dropped and cracked. Tears immediately filled her eyes as she looked at the scene in front of her. Damon had his hand on another girl's thigh and her hands were under his shirt. Their lips were all over each other.
Bonnie fought her way through her tears that were trickling down her cheeks and found her voice. "So this is what you 'stepped out' for?" Bonnie said sarcastically as her voice broke. Damon immediately thrust the girl away from him and looked at Bonnie with lipstick smeared on his lips and neck. "Bonnie, it's not what you think," He tried.
"Leave," he growled at the girl who immediately was walking away from him. "No, don't leave;" Bonnie called bitterly, "I was actually just leaving." Bonnie turned to Damon. "I hate you. Whatever we had, if it even was anything to you, it's done, it's over. I don't ever want to see you again," Bonnie said coldly as she turned on her heel and ran back into the grill, letting her tears loose.
Everyone stared at Bonnie as she slammed the door open and ran over to Elena who stared at her concerned. "Bonnie, what happened?" She demanded, standing up. Bonnie ignored her and cleared her voice, "Give me your keys." Stefan angrily stood up and snarled, "Was it Damon?"
Bonnie didn't answer because she was scared she would cry again so she bit her lip and grabbed Elena's keys and ran out of the grill just as Damon was walking in at an extremely fast pace. Bonnie shoved past him and marched into the parking lot knowing he was right behind her.
"Bonnie, listen to me, please," He pleaded as she opened the car door. Bonnie ignored him as she got into the car, slammed the door shut, and shoved the key into the car. She started the engine and speeded out of the parking lot so fast Damon stared after her. He cursed and slammed his fist into the stone wall breaking it.
Damon looked at his bleeding knuckles with anger blazing in his eyes. He noticed how especially beautiful she had looked tonight and look what he did to her: he broke her heart. Nice going, Damon, he thought and he kicked the wall some more. He heard footsteps behind him and knew it was Stefan and Elena. He turned around as they glanced at his bloody knuckles and disheveled clothes.
"What did you do?" Elena said angrily. Damon glared at her and sped over to his car with his vampire speed and drove away before Stefan could even interfere. "Stefan, drive me to Bonnie's," Elena said hurriedly as she began walking to his car. Stefan sighed and walked to his car.
Bonnie parked her car into her driveway and got out, racing up the porch and into her house. She kicked off her heels and burst into her room, falling on her bed as she curled up hugging a pillow to her chest and sobbing into it. Bonnie held her stomach as she cried her heart out. Her vision was so blurry, it was a wonder she had made it home safely. She heard a noise at the window and she looked over at it. A crow was pecking at it. "Go away," Bonnie cried as she threw her pillow at the closed window and watched the crow fly away.
I really want you to really want me
But I really don't know if you can do that
I know you want to know what's right
But I know it's so hard for you to do that
And time's running out as often it does
And often dictates that you can't do that
But fate can't break this feeling inside
That's burning up through my veins
I Really Want You- James Blunt
Damon
Damon pecked at the window, in his crow form and stared at Bonnie who had black streaks running down her cheeks. "Go away!" He heard her yell as his heart wrenched. He flew away wanting nothing more but to take back what he did. This time I went too far, Damon thought angrily.
Damon got back to the Salvatore residence and found that Stefan wasn't there. Damon stormed into his room and poured himself a glass of blood. He sat down on his chair and thought about Bonnie's face when she saw him. His hand gripped the glass so hard that the glass broke causing blood to spill onto his car. He yelled in frustration as he hurled the glass at his wall. He began hurling everything he had in his room at the wall until there was nothing in his room left to throw.
Now the dark begins to rise, save your breath it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind, nows your chance to run for cover
I don't want to change the world, I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again, but I'm not giving in
I Will Not Bow, I Will Not Break
I Will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
I Will Not Bow- Breaking Benjamin
I know I know, you guys hate me now! I don't know why I chose to make things so complicated.
How will Damon fare without Bonnie and vice versa? What if Katherine comes along and they are no longer together? Will they both team up despite their awkwardness or will Katherine take advantage of this situation and take Bonnie/Damon for herself? Or even worse, kill them?
