A/N: So here's the chapter you've been waiting for (sorry it took so long). For those of you who are deciding to read on or those who just want to know who "won" the battle just know that you're in for a surprise if you read this whole chapter. The "winner" wasn't my decision, it was yours, I went off by the reviews I got, so that it'll be what most of the readers wanted.

Five Years Later

I'm so sorry, brother

He snapped his eyes open sitting up some then relaxed letting out a breath as he leaned back down on his pillow. Bonnie was rested under his arm and he used her for comfort. It was the same dream over and over again and though Bonnie told him that if he wanted she could say a spell to have that horrible dream go away, but he turned her down. If dreaming was the only way that he could see his brother again, then he'd keep it. No matter how horrible of a dream it is, he needed something of his brother to hang on to.

Life has been difficult. Very difficult to say the least, but they've gotten through it. They used to always argue over the smallest of things needing to get their anger out. Once they moved passed the arguing, they would have sex sometimes countless amount of times a day just for a distraction or for some sort of comfort. Sometimes they did it because they wanted to remind one another that no matter what, they still love each other and they knew when it was those times because unlike the rest, they actually took their time and looked into each other's eyes. When they moved passed that, they were silent. Mourning in their own way and a few times she'd shed a few tears behind closed doors. When they moved passed that, they actually moved. Out of state to Los Angeles like he's always pictured them going.

Bonnie got a start on her photography career and while she was at work, he would drink and sober up by the time she came home. Once the drinking lessened on his part, their relationship started to mold back to the way it used to be. They would talk more and spend time together and even decided to adopt a cat to which they named Fee. He was obsessed with Bonnie and would follow her everywhere and she had no complaints about it. She loves the little guy with her whole heart and it almost made her want to have a child. She was close to telling him about it, but decided otherwise.

Bonnie stirred then blinked her eyes open looking up to the face of Damon. His blue eyes almost glowed in the dark of the room and she could tell that a lot was on his mind.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked.

"Not tonight. You have a big day tomorrow, I don't want to keep you up."

She smiled slightly then kissed his chest before resting her head there closing her eyes.

A smile was slightly on his face as he watched her mumble to herself as she worked her way in the kitchen. She was finally going to present her personal photographs to a fashion company and he hoped that everything would go well. She's practiced what she was going to say hundreds of times that he feels like he could recite the whole thing in front of anyone at any given moment.

"You'll do great today, babe."

She stopped reciting then turned to him with a smile. "Thanks, D, I just can't help but to feel so nervous. What if they hate my stuff?"

"Then you'll say 'fuck you' and try again."

"Then I probably shouldn't say "fuck you" if I'm gonna try again then, should I?"

He rolled his eyes then reached out his arms, "Come here." She let out a breath walking over to him sitting on his lap. "They'll love it and if the hate it, it's only because they love it too much to tell you."

She smiled then kissed him before wrapping her arms around his neck meeting their foreheads. "You're my number one."

"I'm everything, now go get 'em, you don't want to be late."

She smiled then kissed him again grabbing her things before saying her goodbye.

Damon strapped Fee up in his leash ready to take him for a walk. He hated walking the cat simply because he felt ridiculous going so, but he also didn't feel like cleaning out the litter box, so this was his best bet.

He started to wonder how Bonnie was doing, if she's still nervous or is now more excited and hopeful. He wished that he could tag along and if they hated her photographs, he'd compel him to think otherwise, because he's seen them and though he doesn't know too much about photography or fashion, what she has looks really good and she deserved credit for them. She's stayed up hours upon end preparing herself for this day and sometimes it bothered him, but others it just made him love her even more because it shows her passion and persistence.

"Cute cat," a woman says bending to pet Fee.

"Thanks, my girlfriend forces me to walk him everyday."

She chuckles. "I walk my cat too, not every day, but,"

"Can you tell her that? I'll call her right now."

She laughed. "Something tells me that she wouldn't be so happy about that, so I'll pass. For your sake." She stands then extends her hand, "I'm Jennifer."

"Damon,"

"No way, my boyfriend has a brother named Damon,"

"What's his—"

"Anyway, I should get going. It was nice meeting you, Damon."

"You too."

He followed her with his eyes for a few then looked straight shaking his head. There was no way she was dating Stefan, it was impossible because he's dead. 'Damon' is an old name, although he's personally never met someone with his name before, that doesn't mean that someone with it doesn't exist.

Letting out a breath, Damon decided to head home. He's not sure if Fee took care of business or not, but he feels himself starting to go mad, so he figured that it's best if he head home.

Bonnie walked through the door with a smile on her face. After a successful meeting, she went out for drinks with a friend then decided to head home before it got too late.

"Damon?" She headed to the kitchen and looked through the refrigerator.

"Hey," he let out a breath stepping next to her.

"What's up with you?"

"I uh. I ran into a woman today,"

"Okay..."

"And she said something to me that I can't get out of my mind." He watched her eyes narrow as she closed the refrigerator.

"Which was what?"

"She said that- she said that I reminded her of Matt Damon."

She watched him for a few seconds then laughed a little. "You sounded so serious about it."

"It's a serious matter, Bon. Do I look like him cause if so, I could be the next big thing and you'll be dating an actor and get to walk the red carpets."

Her eyes widened. "Ooh, you need to start auditioning."

"Answer the question,"

"Uh, I don't know, I have to go look at a picture of him first," she went to fetch her laptop.

Damon sighed but he knew that he shouldn't tell her because he knows that Stefan was the one she wanted to win. She mourned too hard for his loss, cried too many times, and he knows that she dreams about him as well. She's happy with him, yes, but deep down he knows that she knows that deep down that she really wanted it to be Stefan.

"I wouldn't call you two doppelgängers, maybe cousins." She steps in front of him switching her view between him and the computer. "You should still try though."

He chuckled. "So, how was everything? Did they like it?"

She sat her laptop down on the counter. "They. Freaking. Loved it. I was so nervous, Damon, but as soon as I stepped in that room, it was like I switched into a completely different person and I freakish killed it! And they're even letting me—"

"Is there a possibility that Stefan could still be alive?" He interrupted her.

Her face went straight. "W-why do you say that?"

"I lied about the whole Matt Damon thing, she told me that a guy that she's dating has a brother with the same name as mine. Now I know that I'm not the only Damon alive, and I don't believe in coincidences."

She sighed then closed her eyes. "I—"

"How could you not tell me? You let me hate myself for years—"

"I didn't know that it would work!" She shouted sick of him interrupting her. "I did it before the…battle, when I went to see you both I said a spell over the both of you because I couldn't live with the thought of one of you dying because of me. I had no idea if it would work or not, I was so weak then so I didn't tell you. I had no faith in it either. I didn't know." She watched him for awhile. "And who knows, maybe she's not dating Stefan, maybe it is just a coincidence."

"You would like that, wouldn't you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You would like that so you wouldn't have to deal with the both of us again. You're scared that if he's here that you would not want me anymore."

"You're being ridiculous."

"Am I? Tell me right now."

"I won't think that. I love you."

He stared into her eyes for awhile then let out a breath. "I'm sorry, I just. It's hard, you know?"

"Yeah. But if we're meant to find Stefan or vice versa then it'll happen. I think we should just go as we were until or if we run into each other."

"Then what happens then?"

"I don't know about you, but I would at least like to see how he's doing. He has a girlfriend, so he's moved on, so he's good. I would like to hug him, you know. Just once cause I miss him."

Damon nodded the let out a breath. "Well I guess we'll see what happens then."

Bonnie nods then after awhile gets started on their dinner.
