A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for the follows and the favs it means so much to me! Especially since this is my first fic! *does awkward dance* I was in NYC for a while so I didn't get much writing done. Also, this story is kind of writing itself because I don't know where all this stuff is coming from. It was supposed to a light fic, nothing too serious or really having a plot. We shall see where it goes. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Yeh, characters are definitely not mine they belong to LJ Smith and the CW.
Bonnie was awoken by a piercing scream. She was at Caroline's because Caroline decided to have a sleep over since they hadn't had one in a while.
"Caroline, what the hell was that for?" Bonnie screamed at her friend.
Caroline looked at Bonnie with daggers in her eyes, "Everything is a mess! It's all a fucking messing!"
"I'm not a mind reader Caro, I don't know what you're thinking."
Bonnie watched as her friend made her way to the other side of the bedroom, searching through a sack of paper. Caroline threw her phone at Bonnie and told her to listen to the voicemail. Bonnie put the cellphone to her ear.
"Miss. Forbes, we are sorry to inform you that there was a mix up with scheduling and as such we are unable to get you a RV for next week. We have mailed a full refund of your check with a coupon for the next time you choose to use our rental services. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Bonnie put the phone down and continued to watch her friend rummaged through her drawer. "What are you looking for Caroline?"
Caroline sped past Bonnie, ignoring the witch's question. Bonnie was becoming quite annoyed because it was impossible for her to help if she didn't know what was wrong.
"Caroline!" she shouted at the blonde.
"Bonnie just go, because you are not helping right now."
Bonnie was shocked. She stood in that spot for a while before leaving Caroline's room and slamming the door on her way out of the house.
"Bonnie, wait!" Caroline shouted after her friend, "I didn't mean it, I was just frustrated."
Bonnie headed quickly to her car and started the engine. As the engine roared to life, Bonnie noticed that the sky was getting cloudy and the wind was picking up. It took her a while to realize that the reason why this was happening was because she was upset. I shouldn't be this upset because I know Caroline didn't mean what she said, Bonnie rationalized. However, that didn't stop the wind from being almost 70MPH. I need to calm down; I can't drive while I'm this upset. Bonnie took a few deep breaths when her phone rang. She took her phone out of her pocket and look at the caller ID, Matt Donovan.
"Hey, Matt!" she exclaimed while answering the phone.
"Bonnie, I miss you," the deep voice of her closest male friend rang in her ear.
"Not enough to come back to Mystic Falls though."
"I'm actually enjoying Miami; I haven't been attacked by any vampires or any other supernatural."
Bonnie chuckled at Matt's failed attempt at a joke, "But you love all those stuff."
"No I do not, as is evident by my not being in Mystic Falls anymore."
Matt left a few months ago with Jeremy to live with family in Florida. After Elena decided to play with his feelings for her and use him as a blood source, he decided that he had had enough of the supernatural and needed to leave town. Jeremy went with him after he found out that Elena had made Damon compel him to leave for Denver. He also decided that he could not deal with Elena being a vampire and taking away his choices, constantly treating him like a kid.
"How's Jer?"
"He, umm, has, er," Matt stuttered.
"Oh come on, Matt, spit it out."
"He's out on a date with his girlfriend."
"That's great for him!" Bonnie said.
"That was an unexpected reaction."
Bonnie knew Matt was expecting her to be a little sad, but the truth is she had gotten over Jeremy a while ago. Yes, she still loved him, but she wasn't in love with him. He would always have a special place in her heart, he was her first love.
"Matt, I'm as over Jeremy as Kim Kardashian is over Kris Humphries."
Matt chuckled into the phone, "Am I supposed to know that reference Bon?"
"Don't lie, I know your aunt has you watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians!"
"No way, I'd rather watch a nonstop marathon of Teen Mom."
Bonnie laughed at his reaction, "What about you? Any sexy surfer babes on Miami Beach that has caught your eye?"
"No, not yet," he paused, "I'm steering clear of blonde girls with blue eyes and brunettes with brown eyes."
Bonnie laughed, "Matt! That's not very nice."
"Matter of fact," he said, "I'm marketing for red heads with green eyes."
"Matt," she chuckled, "You've certainly cheered me up."
"My pleasure, but I am serious though Bon, red head with green eyes."
"I know you are Matt"
"So what's new with the gang?"
"Well, I got in to NYU."
"That's great Bon! Congrats!"
"Yeah, well the gang wants to do a road trip to NYU, to visit colleges, especially since Caroline and Elena didn't apply to any, so it's supposed to be me, Caroline, Elena, Tyler, Stefan and Damon."
"Why is Damon going?"
"He's trying to change."
"Damon doesn't change unless it's to get Elena."
"Matt, Damon is genuinely trying to change."
"How do you know?"
"We talk."
There was a silence that seemed to stretched for a while. Bonnie heard Matt rustle on the other line.
"I hope your right, Bon."
"I know I am."
"Well I got to go," Matt paused, "Take care of them Bon."
"I promise Mattie."
Bonnie hung up the phone and drove her car away from Caroline's house. She was a little mad that Caroline hadn't come outside at all. She knew she heard her conversation with Matt outside. Caroline has to apologize. Bonnie looked at her watch 10:10 a.m., guess I'll have to grab breakfast and do some homework. Bonnie drove towards a café in the center of town.
Damon paced back and forth in the library of the Salvatore mansion. Leia was in the shower, getting cleaned up. There was something fishy about Leia, Damon had decided. For one, she wanted to have sex, even though he had told her that they didn't have to. Damon was trying to build a relationship but she was making it kind of hard to. He listened to her singing in the shower, her voice was melodious. After their drink, he offered to carry her home and her response was 'only if it's your home' with a wink.
'Hey Damon," a voiced said behind him, startling him from his thoughts.
Damon turned around and saw Elena looking up at him, "Elena, where's Stefan?"
"He went out to get something."
"Don't tell me he's back on a bunny diet?"
"No, he went to get me some breakfast for us."
"Cool," he paused, "Well if you'll excuse me, I need to be elsewhere."
"Damon, wait," she grabbed his arm, "can we talk?"
"Elena-"
"No, let me speak," she walked him over to couch and motioned for him to sit, "I know how you're feeling Damon and I didn't mean to lead you on."
"Elena it's ok," he said. You have no idea how I'm feeling.
"I was genuinely confused, because I care about both you and Stefan," she paused and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "I guess Stefan is just the one for me, you know?"
"Ok," Damon said gritting his teeth.
"But I still want you to be my friend Damon, I care about you so much, and I had to choose one of you, and Stefan was always there for me, helping me through whatever."
"I was always there for you too, Elena."
"Yes, you were but Stefan gave up so much, it wouldn't be fair to him."
"Elena-" Damon was interrupted by footsteps and a question.
"Damon sweetheart, let's get out of here and go get some breakfast," Leia smiled as she entered the library. Damon stood and walked over to Leia.
"Elena this is Leia," he said introducing the two women, "Leia, Elena."
Leia stared at the doe eyed brunette. She sized her up with her eyes and must have decided that she wasn't worth much as she didn't reply and simply nodded her head.
"Damon we need to finish this conversation," Elena said softly.
Damon held Leia's hand and led her towards the front door, "see you later Elena."
Leia stopped Damon and turned in the direction of Elena and gave her a mischievous grin. She then turned in Damon's arm and landed her lips right on Damon's. Their lips intertwined for a few seconds, and then Damon stepped away from her and continued through the door with Leia's hand in his.
"Fucking bitch," Elena said under her breath. In the distance Damon walked away with a smile.
Bonnie pulled up in front of the Café and double checked how she looked in the mirror. Pajama bottoms and a white tee, real cute Bonnie. She exited her car and made her way to the cashier when she bumped into a male figure. Turning around she saw that it was Liam, she instantly began to feel unpleasant as the memories from last night came rushing back to her.
Last Night
Bonnie watched as Liam became angry at the fact that he was losing the game. He was jovial and joking around at first and when Bonnie stopped letting him win, his mood changed drastically.
"Maybe we should stop playing and just head somewhere?" she suggested.
"No, I can win this round."
"Liam, I don't care about who wins this game, let's just go."
He exhaled deeply and looked over at the beautiful girl across from him. He had become really competitive when Bonnie started winning and was probably scaring her, he decided.
"You're right," he said, "let's go get something to drink and leave this place."
Bonnie and Liam walked towards the bar and Bonnie nearly turned around when she saw Damon at the bar flirting with a pretty blonde. The blonde then got up and walked to the restroom.
"Bonnie," Damon drawled, "you don't drink, why are you at the bar?"
"Fuck off, Damon."
"Are you still upset about earlier?"
Bonnie looked at her date and said to him, "I'll meet you outside, ok?"
Liam nodded and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. He watched as she walked away and headed to the exit. Nice ass, he smiled. He turned towards the man she had cancelled their date for the other day. Damon Salvatore, there's nothing great about him, he isn't anything special.
"Bonnie doesn't like you very much," Liam stated to the Salvatore.
"She's pretending."
"If you say so," Liam took a couple shots from the bartender.
"You might want to slow down dude, they'll sneak up on you," Damon suggested.
Liam gave the young man a glare and took the rest of his drink and walked out of the Grille. He saw Bonnie leaning against her car and walked over to her.
"Hey beautiful," he said while holding her, "How about we go for a walk?"
Bonnie smiled, "That sounds great."
They walked and chatted for a while when Bonnie noticed his speech starting to slur and his footsteps wobble. She tried to straighten him up and helped him walk towards his car. He was drunk, completely shitfaced. Bonnie opened the car door and helped him to sit; he suddenly pulled her down on him and began to attack her lips. Bonnie tried to get up but he was stronger than he looked, he mumbled something about how beautiful she was and how honored he would be to have her as his girlfriend.
Bonnie bit down on his tongue, drawing blood, "Fuck!" he shouted.
Bonnie backed away from Liam with a confused look on her eyes. Liam was a good guy, why did he attack her like that? Almost instantly, her phone vibrated. It was a text from Caroline. 'Sleepover at my house?' Bonnie replied, 'Sure.' Bonnie took one last look at Liam who now had his head hung in shame and left.
Present Day
"Bonnie," Liam started.
"What was that last night?"
"I'm sorry, I was drunk," Liam sighed, "I didn't mean to attack you like that."
Bonnie stared at him; she knew he didn't mean it. She knew it was because of the liquor, but she was still hurt. She felt hurt and betrayed.
"I didn't appreciate that, Liam."
"I know."
"You even got upset at the fact that I was winning at pool!"
"It's my mom's fault; she always insists that I be the best whenever I'm doing something competitive."
"It wasn't a competition, Liam."
"I know, it was a date and I screwed up."
Liam was so distraught. He felt like he had just messed things up with the only girl in Mystic Falls that he wanted. The only one who was right for him. He moved towards her and held her hand, "Bonnie, I'm so sorry, can we start over? Taking things nice and easy and pretend it never happened?"
Bonnie contemplated his offer. She liked him but it was clear homeboy had some serious issues. Bonnie let go of his hands and took a few steps backward.
"How about we just be friends?"
"Bonnie,"
"We can only be friends, Liam, I don't have the time to deal with whatever baggage you have."
"Ok, Bonnie, we can be friends," He smiled, after all friendship always lead to something more right?
Oh, no I do not hook up; I go slow, so if you want me I don't come cheap
