The New BFF

An: I do not own The Vampire Diaries

Ch2 – Damon's Perspective

Damon glanced across at the sleeping Bonnie in his front seat. He made sure her head wasn't at an awkward angle so she wouldn't have any muscle pain when she woke up. They were two hours into their drive and the sun had set behind them a while ago. They still had another two hours to go. It had been a long day for Bonnie and he knew she would need her rest before they met up with Stephan and Caroline, that is if both were still alive.

Stephan and Caroline had been a train wreck of a relationship. They were great friends but when they tried something romantic, it failed horribly. They were now on their path back to friendship. In fact, Stephan had wanted to go with Bonnie and send Damon to New Orleans with Caroline but Damon had objected strongly. On a few grounds:

Klaus was Stephan's BFF from the 19th century not his,

Caroline was on very good terms with Klaus,

Caroline and Stephan could use the time to repair their friendship,

He and Caroline were also on very good terms now and he did not want to ruin that. It would be a pain in the ass to go back to her annoying him every day and,

Which he won't admit to anyone, but he liked having his little witch to himself.

Bonnie had passed out at the exact time he thought she would but before she did, he had seen her chanting under her breath. She had probably placed some sort of protection spell on them. He looked at her again and thought she was so beautiful when she slept. Guilty churned in his stomach. He was supposed to be in love with Elena. In fact, at one point in their relationship he had told her that he would always choose Elena over Bonnie but he couldn't do that now. He held on to the fact that Elena told him it was ok to move on, the only problem was that Damon wanted Bonnie to become like the heretics, a vampire that could use magic. An immortal so that he could never lose her. That also implied that Elena would never wake up and he couldn't do that to Elena either which is why he was looking for a way to break the spell. He didn't care if people thought it couldn't be done. If, he and Bonnie could escape death multiple times, they could find a way to break a little spell.

Katherine had supposedly loved him and Stephan maybe it was ok for him to love both Elena and Bonnie. He knew he was in love with Bonnie but he couldn't admit that out loud. It was wrong for so many reasons. He knew she didn't realize how often he checked up on her. In the middle of the night, he would open the door to her room quietly and peek in to make sure she was ok. He had made her move in to the boarding house around the same time he had given her a vial of his blood. A vial he constantly checked on to make sure it was full.

He could remember clearly the day she walked in and it was empty. The first thing he did was refill the vial before he interrogated her for hours about what had happened. At the end of the night, someone lost their head and Damon had no regrets about doing it. You mess with his witch, you mess with him. For the most part, Bonnie seemed to come to terms with his protective side. She didn't give him the moral lecture Elena had liked to give him. Ever since the prison world, Bonnie had come back a tough chick who understood that sometimes you had to get violent to get things done. She was no longer that judgmental witch he used to argue with when he and Elena first became friends. She seemed to be the only one, other than his brother, that seemed to truly understand him, all of him, and it was a nice change.

After another hour of driving Bonnie woke up with a stretch.

"How much longer?" Bonnie asked.

"About another hour," Damon answered.

Bonnie sighed.

"Do you think Stephan and Caroline made it back safe?"

"The last I heard, Stephan said they were fine and on their way back. They should get there an hour after us. Enzo, Alaric and Matt will also be joining us tonight." Damon told her.

"You've been texting and driving," Bonnie commented with a frown.

"No, I was on Bluetooth. I kept my voice down so I wouldn't wake you," Damon replied. He knew how much she hated texting and driving. A lot of people got in to accidents like that and Damon would never take that risk with Bonnie's life.

"I hope you told Alaric to bring the book."

"Witchy, who do you think you're talking to! Of course I told Ric to bring the book." Damon said half offended.

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him.

"Let's stop for food, I'm hungry," Bonnie said.

"Sure," Damon said wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"No feeding from my carotid Damon. That was a onetime deal Damon." She reminded him.

"I'm hurt Bonnie," Damon said clutching his heart.

"Please, that was only because you were dying and you're not dying now."

"You never know, I could die tomorrow." Damon pointed out playfully.

A look of hurt flashed across Bonnie's face and he regretted his words instantly.

"No, you're not dying tomorrow or anytime soon for as long as I'm around," Bonnie said firmly.

"That's good because I don't plan on letting you die either," Damon said. He wanted to add ever, but now wasn't the time for that conversation. They had plans to start making and somewhere along the way he was going to have to convince Bonnie to become immortal after they woke Elena up. He didn't know how things were going to work but he knew one thing for sure and that was he needed Bonnie Bennett in his life forever. His new BFF was not going anywhere any time soon.

An: Thank you for reading. A few reviewers wanted more so I decided to do Damon's perspective.
