"Elena, how many people did you invite?" I hissed to my best friend a few hours later at the party. She was dancing to the beat in a short white minidress with a skirt that flowed out, complimenting her slightly tan skin.
"Er, I'm not exactly sure… I can't remember," She ran a hand through her hair but kept the beat with her hips swaying to the side. Every so often she'd meet or greet someone who came to the door and right now, the room was packed.
I rolled my eyes, and started away from her to the drinks table to grab something to drink. I was about to grab a cup of 7UP when I felt someone hold one out to me. I took it, without thinking, preparing to thank the kind person, until I saw it was Damon.
My smile turned to a frown and I shoved it back at him, "Thanks but no thanks," I said, curtly, turning half his direction, and trying not to ponder over how handsome he looked in his black jeans, dark blue tee shirt and matching blue sneakers. They made his ice blue eyes look even more shiny and light blue than ever.
He smirked at me, and gulped back the drink. "More for me," He sang, as I grabbed my own cup and took a big sip. I leaned against the table, sighing a little.
"Why wouldn't you take it? It's not as if I poisoned it," Damon stated, leaning next to me so our faces were close. I tried to peer past him to Elena but I could see her dancing in the midst of a crowd of cheering college students.
"How should I know?" I asked, tossing back the rest of my drink and throwing the cup into the trash can. I started away from Damon but he pulled my arm.
I turned back to look at him, eyes glaring. "What?" I demanded, wanting to get away from him.
"Bonnie, we really need to talk," Damon's eyes were honest but he was a good actor; he could fool anyone and I was not the best judge of character.
I shook my head, "I don't think that's a good idea," I exclaimed, just as I spotted Katherine entering in a black pair of shorts, a red halter top and a red bandana in her long light brown hair. Her eyes lit up as she spotted me and Damon and I turned to look at Damon, smug.
His face was frozen as she made her way over to us, smiling and waving. "Day, How's it going?" She cried, once she was standing in front of us. She spread out her arms and gave him a big hug, he hugged her back stiffly, a look of shock on his face.
"Missed me?" She winked at him, stepping back and winking at me too, the signal that I could leave. I stuck my tongue out at Damon, who had recovered a little from the shock of seeing Katherine for the first time since he'd dumped her and glared at me, folding his arms across his chest.
I hurried away from them, giving Katherine a thumbs up behind Damon's back so he couldn't see it, then I started dancing with the first guy I saw; a brown haired guy who I vaguely recognized as Elena's brother Jeremy.
"Bonnie, hi," His face broke out into a grin as I put my arms on his shoulder and let him lead me to the beat of the music.
I smiled at him, "Jeremy?" I asked, pushing some hair out of my eyes and trying to get into the groove. I could see over Jeremy's shoulder Katherine and Damon deep in conversation. It was no use though, Elena was still dancing in the midst of a crowd of spectators.
"Yes, how have you been, hotstuff?" He asked, with a suggestive wink.
I almost rolled my eyes, "I'm okay…" I trailed off, trying to make out what Katherine was saying to Damon. Something about the old days or something, but I could hardly make out what it was properly due to the loud screeching tones of Kesha.
Jeremy dipped me back, and I smiled at him, forcing it though I was kind of having fun. Jeremy was adorable but I wasn't attracted to him.
Suddenly, the song changed and Damon was standing to one side. "May I cut in?" He asked Jeremy, who looked a little surprised.
"No, go dance with your girlfriend," I snapped at him, holding onto Jeremy tighter.
Damon rolled his eyes, "I'll take it from here," He pushed a shocked looking Jeremy away, who hurried to the drinks table, and then put his arms on my waist.
"What are you doing?" I demanded of Damon as he started swaying me to the beat.
"We're dancing; that's what it's called when some music is on and you move your body," Damon said, sarcastically.
I clenched my teeth, trying not to smile at his wisecrack. I snuck a look at Katherine over his shoulder, and she was shaking her head, helplessly. I sighed, and bit my lip.
"What's wrong?" Damon asked, his tone gentler.
"Nothing, what do you want from me?" I demanded, my voice sharp.
"I need to talk to you," He repeated like he had about 30 minutes ago.
"About what?" I asked, but I felt a sickening feeling in my stomach.
My fears were confirmed when he said, "About Rose and that night,"
"There's nothing left to say," I snapped, pushing him away and running away from him.
"That's all you ever do! Run away, then. You never want to listen, like with Rose!" He yelled, cynically and I gasped as I was aware that the music had stopped and everyone was staring at us.
I felt my cheeks color pink as I ran over to stand with Katherine. Elena ran over and looked between Damon and I, "What the hell is going on?" Her tone of voice was colder than I'd ever heard it before.
I couldn't help it any longer; I sighed and headed over to her. "Elena, Damon was him," I said, quietly though because nobody else was talking and everyone else was frozen staring at us, my voice came up pretty loud.
"What are you talking about?" She asked, her voice breaking and looking more confused than ever.
"He was the one…the one who broke my heart," I repeated, and the pain and sadness that appeared across her face was heartbreaking.
"What? Damon was the one who cheated on you?" She asked, sounding sad and mad at the same time. She whipped her face around to glare at Damon who looked sheepish. I didn't say anything; I couldn't fight the tears that were streaming down my face now.
Katherine slipped her arm around me, and I sighed, not wanting to reply to Elena.
Elena whirled round to look at me, "Was he?" She demanded, folding her arms across her chest.
I nodded, "He was," I whispered in a voice that was hardly audible.
Elena gasped and kept looking between Damon and I a couple of times before she fled from the room into her room, slamming the door behind her.
"At least the truth is out," Katherine said, once the party was back in full flow. I sighed, wiping my eyes as I watched Damon stare at the ground for a few seconds, before grabbing his jacket from on the coat rack and storming out of the front door, a sickening clang sounding as the door slammed behind him.
"Elena probably hates me," I told Katherine, who shook her head.
"You were protecting her. She can't hate you for that," She replied, and then a serious look appeared in her eyes.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't do what you wanted me to," Katherine said, quietly.
"It's okay. You tried," I murmured.
Katherine nodded, "If it's any help, I think they're broken up. Elena must be mad at Damon too because he didn't tell her," She pointed out.
I nodded, and because it was late by now; 12 or something and I had class tomorrow, I started clearing the party up and telling people to leave. Katherine helped me and soon the room was empty except for the mess that was everywhere from the college students who had been here.
"Ready to clean up?" She asked me, with a bright smile.
I sighed, "Do we have to?" I replied, sourly.
She nodded, laughing a little at my attitude. "Yes, it's your apartment," She reminded me.
I rolled my eyes, but we started to clean up the stuff that was left everywhere; on the couches, the coffee tables and even the kitchen counters. "Katherine, thank you," I said, a few seconds later.
"For what, my dear?" She asked, picking up a paper cup and tossing it in the trash.
"For being a good friend," I replied, earnestly looking up and shooting her a thankful smile.
Katherine grinned at me, "It's quite okay. You're not such a bad friend either," She replied, and I sighed, hoping Elena wasn't too mad at me from what had happened and what secrets had been revealed, because even though I had been jealous of what she had with Damon, she was my best friend and I needed her.

Dear Ex-Jerk,
I've done it. I've broken you up; at least I think I have. Not because of Katherine who I invited to ruin it all for you and Elena, but because of our secret being revealed. Elena knows now it was you who broke my heart and cheated on me, and it made her sad and mad at both of us. I tried knocking on her door before I came back to my room and she was just sniveling, not replying to me so I know she's mad.
She's mad at you too. I know she is. I thought I'd feel more satisfaction that I broke you up, but I just feel as empty as always because even though you're not hers now, you're not mine either. I'm sad because I made Elena sad, but I know she'll get over it. I had to, and she will too.
I don't know what you want to 'talk' about all the time. I don't want to remember that night let alone talk about it. What do you want to say about Rose? I hate her- she's disgusted me of the name and everything. Why do you insist on hurting me all the time? Because, if we talk about that night it will hurt me more than ever to remember what happened, and I don't want to feel that anguish again.
Yours as always,
Bonnie x
A/N: It wasn't very long but I couldn't think of anything else to write. So Elena and Damon are over huh? Or not? What do you think? Katherine didn't break them up but the truth shook them both to the core and stirred up some feelings of anguish for Bonnie.
Leave me a REVIEW with your opinion!
