Chapter 7.

"Damon, stop, Damon" Damon turned around to see his brother hurrying toward him. "Mr. Bennett" he said trying to pull him off the now dead—or half dead—stranger.

"He's feeding, wait your turn" Damon teased as Stefan's face turned a little pale as he looked pass Damon. Damon squinted at him, but already knew something was up.

"What did you do…?" a shaky voice asked. Damon turned around, not too surprised to see Bonnie. He started to move toward her, to hug her, anything but stopped when she held her hand up. "Don't touch me" she said coldly before looking at her father who had stopped drinking when he heard his daughter's voice.

"Bonnie," he said standing up and moving over to her as she shook her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with tears.

"Daddy, no…not you…" she said sadly, as her dad looked at her with sad eyes.

"It's only for a little while Bon Bon, just until you get things all sorted. I promise, they promised" he paused to look at Stefan and Damon. "It will okay sweetheart" he said with a small smile as Bonnie continued looking at him with sadness.

"I didn't want this, I didn't you want to become this—" she started but her dad shook his head and made a low sshing sound.

"I didn't either, but I can't leave you. I'm not going to abandon you, you've had too much of that in your life" he said as he moved closer to hug her.

"Mr. Bennett, I suggest you don't do that, the smell is overwhelming to newly turned vampires, it's something that should be approached with caution" Stefan explained.

"I can hug my daughter if I want" Mr. Bennett said sternly as he turned around to face the brothers. Damon started to move, but Stefan was closer, he knew what the man's expression mean, the protruding veins, the dark eyes, the fangs.

"Sir, please, let me take your home" Stefan said gripping Mr. Bennett's arms as Bonnie backed away a little, tears running down her cheeks.

"Bonnie," her dad started, his face relaxing. "I didn't even know, I—I'm so sorry…" he said looking truly surprised.

"It's okay Daddy, I'll fix this" she said nodding at him as Stefan led him to the car.

Damon waited until he heard the engine start to move over to Bonnie. "Bon, I'm so sorry, I just thought—" her hand was across his face in a heartbeat. He didn't even blink with surprise, she was pissed, and she had every right to be.

"I hate you" she said coldly as Damon's whole body tensed.

"Please, don't be irrational about this" he responded but Bonnie made a motion to slap him again but Damon caught her wrist. "Stop it and calm down" he said as she tried pulling away but knew it was pointless.

"Let go of me!" she screamed at him, starting to push him away with her free hand but he grabbed that wrist too.

"Not until you relax, I'm sorry Bonnie, okay? I'm sorry" he said trying to steady his own voice. He knew he could remind Bonnie she had called him and begged him to save her father but this wasn't the time, it would do more harm than good anyway.

"First my mom and then my grandma and now my dad? What do you want from me? Let go!" she screamed again as she tried pulling away. "I hate all of you, I fucking hate vampires. I hate you Damon" she said as she continued struggling against him, now attempting to punch him. Regardless how she was acting, her words seemed to pierce him more. After everything they had been through this was what broke her. "He was fine, and then you killed him and then turned him!" she screamed as Damon shook his head.

"Klaus did something before, he knew you'd want me to save him, he knew this was going to happen!" Damon shouted back as Bonnie tried once more to pull away.

"You told me to wait, one week Damon, you said one week. And look what happened in the first forty eight hours. You keep ruining my life" she said as Damon felt a wave of anger run through him as he too thought how quickly things managed to go downhill, how soon something bad happened. They were fine, they were just falling in love and things broke. How was this fair in any way? How was everything falling apart again so quickly?

"Klaus is a bastard, but we can fix your father Bonnie…" he said, loosening his grip a little as Bonnie took deep breaths.

"What if we can't? What happens when something goes wrong? You know it will. Our lives are too fucked up for anything to go right. What then Damon? Hmm?" she asked giving him a shove that barely made him move but he could feel it. It was taking a lot of will power to keep calm like he was, not that he'd ever hurt Bonnie—physically—again, but there was a whole bar of people he could go through in seconds.

"You didn't think we could bring you back to life, you didn't think we could take down Silas, but we did both those things. We can do this Bonnie. I swear to you your father will be okay" he said softly as she started to calm down.

"Why didn't you listen? Why didn't you just go find Klaus before? None of this wouldn't have happened…" she said quietly as pushed him away.

"I'm sorry, I should've, you were right" he said feeling defeated, he just wanted her to stop being mad, to stop looking at him with disgust, to not hate him. "Bonnie—"

"Don't Damon, I just, I need to be alone tonight" she said quietly as she started for her car. "And if you attack one person in there it's over between us" she said before turning and getting into her car. He stared after and waited until the car was out of sight before he quickly disposed of the man's dead body.
