A/N: First I would like to say thank you for everyone who has read and reviewed! It really means a lot to me. Second, I want to apologize for not updating faster. I planned to have this chapter out way earlier than today. And Third, The chapters may not have a lot of action, but don't worry this is just the beginning.
Oh and one more thing sometimes the characters will be OOC=)
Bonnie woke up to arms wrapped around her, and shallow breathing against her neck. The light shined through the curtains of her bedroom into her eyes, and she had to squint to adjust to the light. The events from last night flooded her mind, as she tried her best not to let the tears escape her eyes. She gently got out of bed, and made her way into her bathroom, making sure not to wake Jeremy who was sleeping peaceful.
She looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. This person wasn't her. She wanted to be in love when she gave away the most precious part of herself. And maybe she could love Jeremy one day because of how wonderful of a guy he was and the amazing way he treated her, but right now she didn't love him. And to do what she did just because she was upset was uncalled for.
As she got into the shower, and let the hot water hit her body, she cried; not just about she and Jeremy, but about everything. Damon and Elena, her powers, Matt. She couldn't even remember her life before the supernatural anymore…when everything was normal.
It took two bottles of Tequila and five bags of blood for Caroline to feel something. Being a vampire took her longer to get intoxicated than before. As she drank, her thoughts drifted back to last night to the conversation she and Tyler had on her doorstep…..
Caroline was about to walk inside, when seeing Tyler on her doorstep.
"Caroline, please, can we talk?" He asked quickly, not wanting her to go inside.
A rush of sadness and anger enveloped her, but she was too tired to act upon the way she was feeling, so she turned around, and glared at the guy who used to be a good friend. "I don't want to talk to you."
Tyler could tell from the sound of her voice that she was not interested, "Caroline, after hearing about Matt…" He paused, trying to hide the sadness that enveloped him in the moment. "He was my best friend Caroline and….look I know what happened was bad and I'm sorry for the way I acted, but I want to make things right. I can't lose you too….
"You can't make anything right, Tyler!" she yelled, "And how dare you use Matt's death to think I would forgive you!."
"Caroline…."
"Wherever you ran off to…..I suggest you go back. Because no one wants you here. I don't want you here." And with that she walked inside and slammed the door shut….
Caroline drank because of Matt's death. She drank because of Tyler showing up. And she drank because as much as she wanted to hate Tyler….her heart wouldn't let her.
Last night wasn't supposed to happen like it did for Damon. He waited for what felt like a lifetime to feel Elena's lips on his, and when it finally happened, he had to force himself to like it. It was not that she couldn't kiss; her lips were soft and inviting, but he didn't feel what he thought he would. It was nothing like he felt when he and the little witch. It wasn't just soft and inviting, there was fire and passion behind it. She was a spitfire that sent him over the edge.
Damon knew that he could have gone all the way with Elena last night; make her scream his name and forget who Stefan was, but he couldn't. And he was angry that he didn't. Elena was the one. She was bigger than his obsession with Katherine; she was everything Katherine wasn't. But she always had eyes for his brother; even though that never stopped him from trying to pursue her.
So why was the judgey little witch clouding his thoughts every time he turned around? He never thought in his century plus years of living he would be having some sort of on and off confusing whatever it was with the fiery little vixen. Especially since she's set him on fire, gave him plenty of aneurysms, and threatened to kill him on a daily basis.
Damon then began to remember the two times he took her to her favorite place in her dream. The way she was with him, like he was everything…like he mattered. And in those moments he did. Nothing else mattered but him and Bonnie.
The dream they shared where they were in the year 1864 and she screamed his name as he took her, entered his mind next. It took every ounce of him not to enter her dreams every night and take her repeatedly. He wanted her sweet blood to flow down his throats as they would both fill an immense amount of pleasure.
He wanted Bonnie…..now. The moment the veins appeared around his eyes, was the moment he grew hard in his pants. It was either handle it himself, or let the bloodlust take over and find Bonnie. And if he did that, it probably wouldn't lead to the outcome he wanted.
He could go bury his need for Bonnie into Elena, but the better side of him that he needed to overcome very soon was winning, and he wouldn't allow himself to do it. Not just because of Elena, but the only person he wanted under him right now was the little witch.
As his hands gripped gently around his pulsating member, he thought of Bonnie writhing under him; moaning and screaming with so much pleasure, as he pounded in and out of her sweet body. He then began to imagine her mouth where his hand was stroking so rapidly…almost violently. He saw her in that white dress again as she looked into his eyes and smiled a smile that made his heart ache with an unfamiliar feeling. A feeling that made him come hard.
But that wasn't enough, because he was hard again. He needed the real thing. He needed Bonnie.
Bonnie had been at Caroline's for almost an hour, and she had been tipsy for about thirty minutes. She and Bonnie had been comforting one another as they drowned their sorrows in alcohol. When Bonnie came over, Caroline instantly sobered up when she saw the tears in her eyes. After a few minutes of just crying in Caroline's arms, she was able to confess what she did with Jeremy.
Caroline was glad she was able to confide in her, and she made sure to let Bonnie know that she was not a bad person and that she shouldn't blame herself. Because she knew that's what Bonnie was doing. The only reason Caroline was a bit upset was because Bonnie lost her virginity and she knew that it was really important to her.
Once Bonnie was able to calm down, Caroline offered her a drink and they began crying, laughing, and just reminiscing on a time when their lives were normal.
When Bonnie told Caroline about Damon and Elena, it made the blonde vampire a bit angry. She loved Elena dearly; they had been best friends pretty much all of their lives, but she never thought clearly when it came to the Salvatore brothers. They all knew she was in love with Stefan, but the way she cared for Damon was much more than friendship, and they all saw it but her. She really felt bad for Stefan, and she would make sure she would have a talk with Elena later.
Another hour passed and Bonnie was officially beyond the point of tipsy. She was a light weight; so after five shots of tequila and eight other alcoholic beverages she was definitely drunk. After all of the crying passed, now she was just carefree with no troubles in the world; almost as if she were floating. And if she had her powers she probably would be.
"I just wanted to say, Care Bear," she slurred bringing her friend into a hug, "You are my best friend…not just cause of this whole thing with Lena…you are always there. Me and you…you and me…you're my number one." Bonnie was being completely honest and Caroline felt the same way as well. Bonnie and Caroline always had this bond of friendship that could never be broken. That did not mean they would ever cast Elena aside, because they were all really close and could all confide in one another, but Bonnie and Caroline had a stronger bond.
"I love you Bon Bon," Caroline was drunk, but she knew how to sober up really quick if need be. Thanks to her vampire skills.
"And I know….with Tyler…..you're hurting, but…." Bonnie didn't have to say anything else, because Caroline already knew where she was going with it. Bonnie wanted Caroline to give Tyler the benefit of the doubt and talk with him. Whether they were drinking or not, that happened between the two of them. They didn't have to say much to know what the other was thinking.
"And Bons…this thing with Jeremy and Damon…" Caroline was able to speak clearer than Bonnie, who was now lying on the floor in a relaxed state. "I think you really like Damon, but you're just trying to stay with Jeremy because he is the better guy." She hoped that made sense.
And it did. Jeremy was the better guy and the sweet guy. He was the all-around perfect catch, but Caroline was right. A big reason she found herself trying to cling to Jeremy was because he made her feel normal.
"Trust me Care….me and Damon will never…He's the enemy…he will always forever be in love with Elena. She can have him." And with that she took one more drink from the bottle of vodka.
Caroline shook her head at Bonnie's stubbornness, and before she could say anything, her cell phone went off.
It was Stefan. The only reason Caroline could think of Stefan calling her was because he found out. She showed Bonnie that it was him, and whispered, "Oh my gosh! What if he knows?"
"Answer it!" Bonnie was thinking the same as Caroline. What if he did find out? Poor Stefan, she thought. Bonnie attempted to crawl over to sit beside Caroline, as she answered the phone, but fell in the process.
"Stefan hi!" she all but screamed.
"Hey Caroline is everything okay?"
"No! The better question is are you okay?" She then put the phone on speaker, because Bonnie was trying to put her ear up to the phone, and it was distracting her.
"Yeah, have you been drinking?"
"What! No…well…maybe…is everything okay?"
"I just got back, and wanted to have a meeting at the boarding house, can you come?"
"Um…yeah, I'll be there soon."
"Do you know where Bonnie is? We tried calling her, but…"
Caroline looked at Bonnie, who pulled out her cellphone, to reveal she had two missed calls and a text from Elena and a missed call from Stefan, Damon, and Jeremy. Seeing Damon's name pop up, made her heart clench in her chest.
Caroline confirmed that Bonnie was with her and that she was alright. Once she hung up, she looked at her best friend, "Ready?"
"Ayi Captain!" Bonnie said with a quick impression of SpongeBob Squarepants, which made them both laugh.
Caroline then put Bonnie on her back and ran to the boarding house.
Bonnie was still on Caroline's back when they stumbled into the boarding house ten minutes later, laughing for no apparent reason. It automatically made Stefan, Elena, and Damon end their conversation and look over to them.
Even though they were all looking at them, the only gaze Bonnie was aware of was Damon's, and when she quickly glanced at him, she instantly fell off of Caroline's back and hit her head hard on the floor.
"Ow!" she exclaimed, even though it didn't hurt as bad, because of the alcohol.
Elena was making her way over to her best friends, but was cut off by Damon, who immediately picked the witch up bridal style and sat her on the couch. Elena couldn't help but notice the way Damon looked at Bonnie when he picked her up. It was the way he always use to look at her at times, and she found herself feeling a bit upset. She had no idea why she felt the way she did, because she wouldn't have if Stefan were to do it.
Damon was too preoccupied to notice the change in Elena's demeanor, but Stefan wasn't. He looked at his girlfriend and then at Damon who was being pushed out of the way by Caroline. They almost looked like brother and sister; the way Caroline stuck her tongue out at his brother and Damon who threw a pillow hard at her face.
He would have shared a laugh with Bonnie, but he couldn't dismiss the thought that crossed his mind of his brother and the love of his life. He had a feeling that something happened between Damon and Elena while he was away. He didn't want to jump to conclusions or be the jealous boyfriend, but the look Elena gave was all it took. One tiny look.
Damon knew that all eyes were on him when he picked up the little witch, but he didn't care. When Caroline and Bonnie came in, he could instantly smell her sweet scent mixed with tequila and vodka. And after she fell off of Caroline, he was there picking her up off the ground before he realized it. Once Caroline had pushed him away from Bonnie, he wanted to rip her heart out, but since she was intoxicated and Bonnie's friend, he threw a pillow in her face instead. Since she was a vampire, she was able to handle the force of the pillow hitting her face.
Bonnie wasn't able to hold in her laughter anymore. Seeing the little action between Caroline and Damon brought her into a fit of giggles that was only silenced when Damon said, "Since the little witch and baby vamp are in their own drunken world, can we get back to what you found out, Stefan."
Elena sat down beside Bonnie, and inspected her head. Bonnie rarely drank when they went out, so for her to be completely drunk now told Elena that something was wrong.
She would definitely talk with her friends and see what was going on, once they finished this meeting.
Bonnie, who was now leaning her head on Caroline's shoulder, zoned him out. She was sure they would fill her in again later.
Elena's phone going off was the only thing that brought Bonnie out of her thoughts and for some reason she knew it was Jeremy before she even said his name.
"Jer, calm down, what's wrong?" Elena said, very worried.
Bonnie's head felt heavy as she lifted her head off of Caroline, as she and everyone else in the room looked towards Elena.
"Jeremy, she's right here." She said as she glanced at Bonnie, and handed her the cell phone.
Bonnie really didn't want to speak to Jeremy right now; especially since she hadn't quite sobered up yet. She knew he would be worried, since she left him sleeping in her bed, without as much as a note. She was planning to talk to him, but right now, she didn't know what to say.
When Bonnie took the phone, she didn't realize she hit the speaker button, "Hey Jeremy," she said trying her best to sound normal.
"Bonnie, I'm glad you're okay. I've been trying to call you and….I was worried."
"I'm okay, Jer. My phone…. she paused and took a deep breath, trying to her best to maintain composure, "Was on silent, and….I'm sorry."
"When you left this morning, we didn't get a chance to talk about what happened. I know it was your first time, and I just wanted to make sure that you were alright and that you didn't regret anything…."
Everything happened at once at that point. Bonnie bent over and threw up, Elena gasped and the shock expression on her face was not missed, and Damon let out a growl so feral, everyone jumped.
Damon was trying to fight down the rage that consumed him, over the little news he just heard. He wanted to kill the Gilbert boy for touching what was his. For taking away innocence that was supposed to be for him. Their relationship would be over very soon. He would make sure of that.
The alcohol was finally catching up to Bonnie, as Caroline stuck a trash can in front of her and moved her curly locks out of her face. As Bonnie was throwing up all of the alcohol in her system, she heard Elena tell Jeremy they would call him back. She was so embarrassed that everyone just heard she lost her virginity.
After Bonnie finally stopped throwing up, she leaned back on the couch, as Caroline wiped her mouth, and Elena handed her a glass of water. She really wasn't aware of anything else afterwards, because as her eyes slowly drifted close, everything went black.
When Bonnie woke up in the middle of the night, the pain in her head let her know that drowning her sorrows in alcohol was a bad idea. Even though her troubles were nonexistent in those few hours, they were now back clouding her mind.
As she sat up slowly, she knew she wasn't at home in her bed, but it was too dark to tell where she was. The last place she remembered being before falling asleep was the boarding house.
"How are you feeling?" The sound of Damon's voice made Bonnie jump. She struggled for a second to find and turn on the lamp next to the bed, but when she did, her eyes connected with Damon who was sitting in a chair right across from the bed. She looked around and noticed that she was in his room.
She didn't want to be here….in his bed with him looking so intently at her. Instead of answering, she pushed off the blanket she was so comfortably wrapped in, and stood out of bed. Damon was in front of her instantly, causing her to lose balance and fall back on the bed.
"Damnit, Damon!" she cursed. Even though she had a major headache, the anger that built inside of her all of a sudden overpowered it.
"Someone has a foul mouth tonight," he smirked.
Bonnie was glaring at him, as she stood back up. When she pushed him to move out of her way, he didn't even budge.
She may have been shooting daggers at him with her eyes, but that didn't stop him from thinking she looked sexy as hell. He wanted to push her down on his bed, spread her legs, and take what was his; erasing any part of Jeremy.
"Get. Out. Of. My. Way." The way his eyes were looking her up and down was along the lines of seductive and predatory and she didn't like the way her body was responding.
"Make me," He challenged.
She tried moving past him, but he just moved in sync with her. If she had her powers she would give him an aneurysm and throw him out the window.
"Where's everyone? Where's Caroline?" She asked, hoping her voice didn't portray the way she was feeling. Damon was too close.
"Elena and Stefan are in his room cuddled up and Blondie is asleep in one of the guest rooms."
"How did I get in here?" She knew that her friends would never leave her alone with Damon.
"You were in the room with Caroline and when she fell asleep, I brought you here." He shrugged. He was being very nonchalant.
She starred at him in shock for what he did. She couldn't even form words to yell at him at the moment.
"You almost didn't let go of me. Not that I mind." His cocky tone was definitely not missed, as he winked at her.
"You crazy, smug bastard!" She pushed at him again using more force. He only moved a little, but laughed at her statement. It only made her angrier, "Damon, I don't have time for this, I need to call Jeremy." And she did. She knew he was worried about her, and leaving like she did was uncalled for.
The next thing Bonnie knew, she was being pushed against the wall; cornered in by Damon's arms. The veins around his eyes were forming and his fangs extended. He looked as if he would take great pleasure in sinking his fangs into her carotid.
"You probably want to stay away from that boy, because I will kill him. You are mine Bonnie and you better remember that." Damon was beyond full of rage when his little witch mentioned that boy's name.
She was about to yell at him until he continued, "Did you like the way he touched you." He caressed her cheek and stopped at her neck, "I bet you were thinking about me the whole time." He then placed a small kiss on her neck; inhaling her sweet scent. He could smell the arousal he was giving her.
Bonnie slapped him, "How dare you!" she yelled pushing him off of her. How dare he bring up what she did with Jeremy and act this way about it. "You have no right! You are in love with my best friend. So what I do with my boyfriend is none of your business."
Damon was a bit caught off guard with how Bonnie wasn't showing any fear towards him. With the way he looked right now anyone else would have shaken in fear.
As he was consumed with his thoughts, Bonnie took this opportunity to speak again, "I don't know what your problem is or what kind of game you are trying to play. But whatever we have been doing ends right now. I appreciate you saving my life, and for that I won't call you an enemy, but we are not friends…we are not anything." Did it hurt her to say that? Yes. But she didn't know what she truly felt for Damon anymore and he was in love with her best friend. "And the next time you kiss Elena, I hope Stefan finds out and makes you pay."
During her little speech, he managed to change back to his regular face, "Is that jealousy I see on your pretty little features?"
"You can't be jealous of someone you want nothing to do with." With those last words she was able to move past him and run to find Caroline.
Damon let her leave this time, but their time was far from over.
The next day, Bonnie was sitting on the front steps of her porch as she anxiously awaited Jeremy's arrival. She wasn't sure how she was going to say everything to him, but she couldn't lead him on anymore.
After her confrontation with Damon last night, she woke up Caroline and they headed to her house. She was actually in her living room now, awaiting Bonnie's return with a box of tissues just in case.
When Bonnie saw Jeremy walk towards her, she noticed a black crow land on a tree near the house. It felt as if it was staring at her. Odd, she thought.
Bonnie stood up, as Jeremy pulled her into a hug, "I was so worried about you, Bonnie."
A few tears instantly formed in Bonnie's eyes, once being in his embrace, "Jeremy we need to talk," Her voice was soft, but Jeremy could tell that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" He questioned, afraid to hear the answer.
They both sat down, and Bonnie grabbed his hands in hers, "You are an incredible guy. You are sweet, you make happy, and I feel safe and normal when I'm with you. I never thought I would end up liking you so much; I mean you're Elena's younger brother," she let out a small laugh, trying her best not to start crying.
"Bonnie where are you going with this?" He already knew, but he needed to hear her say it.
Bonnie took a deep breath, "I can't do this anymore. You deserve someone who is going to give you the world and love you deeply, and I'm not that girl; even though I should be, because you are so amazing."
Jeremy's felt a pain in his chest, when she said those words, "Is this about the other night?"
"No," she shook her head, "And I shouldn't have left like I did, but I was just confused. I'm really sorry."
He squeezed her hands tighter, and gazed into her emerald eyes, "Bonnie, I love you. I do and whatever you're feeling we can get through this."
The tears escaped her eyes, "You don't love me Jeremy. You are going to find someone else…trust me."
"You're telling me all of these great things, but you're not giving me a reason as to why you want to end us. I mean is there more…is there someone else?"
She must have hesitated to long, because Jeremy snatched his hand away from hers, "Who is it? I mean it had to be before we slept together, because this is rather quickly to be throwing this on me." Jeremy didn't mean to sound harsh, but he couldn't hide the fact that he was upset. He was in love with Bonnie and he would do anything for her, so he deserved to know who the guy was that replaced him. Who could do more for her then he could?
"There's no one else," she said rather quickly, giving Jeremy the impression she was lying.
"You can lie all you want to Bonnie, you don't owe me the truth." He then stood up, and she did so quickly after him, "Have a nice life," And then he walked away.
Maybe Jeremy did sound cruel, but he had a right to be.
"Elena, can we talk?" Stefan said to Elena as he walked her to her door. Tonight they would sleep apart. Not that they wanted too, but Jenna's rules were clear. Weekends she could stay the night with Stefan, but weekdays, she needed to be home; no if, ands, or buts.
"Of course," she smiled, as they sat down on one of the couches on the porch.
Stefan really didn't want to ask this question, but he needed too, "Did anything happen with you and Damon while I was away?"
Elena wanted so quickly to lie, but she couldn't lie to Stefan. She wouldn't.
When Elena didn't say anything, and tears sprung to her eyes, gave Stefan an answer, but he wanted to hear it from her.
"We kissed, that was it," she cried, "I'm so sorry Stefan. I don't know what came over me, and I love you so much and I'm so sorry," It was as if she were almost begging for forgiveness.
Stefan forgave her, but he would not hide the fact that he was hurt. It was as if a part of his heart was damaged. He knew that Elena cared for Damon. He knew that her feelings went beyond caring, but he tried his best to push it aside. But now he couldn't.
He wiped the tears from her eyes, "I love you, Elena. But, I think we should take some time apart. You need to figure out what you want. Because I know that you have feelings for Damon, and I don't want you to regret anything by staying with me. I don't want you to feel like you have too.
Elena began to cry again. She didn't want Stefan to break up with her, "Stefan, please….I'm sorry. It will never happen again. Yes I care about him, but I'll put it away, I'll stop talking to him. I love you Stefan. You."
"I know you do, but you love him as well. He leaned towards her, as their foreheads touched, "This doesn't have to be the end of us, Elena. Just take some time."
When Stefan gently kissed her forehead, Elena closed her eyes from the warmth of his kiss, and when she opened them, he was gone.
Elena went into the house, and ran into her room. She collapsed on her bed, and cried. She loved Stefan with all of her heart, and she didn't want this between them. But he was right, she loved Damon too.
"Are you sure you want to do this Bonnie?" Caroline asked, as she watched her best friend sit down on the floor in between three candles.
"I have to Caroline." She gave her a weak smile to assure her friend that everything would be alright. Bonnie needed her powers back, and that is exactly what she planned to do. She was a Bennett witch; with all of the potential to be powerful. She would get everything she had in her; no matter what the cost.
She looked at Caroline one more time before closing her eyes, "If it gets bad Caroline, please don't do anything. I will be okay."
"Bonnie," Caroline couldn't promise that.
"I'll be okay," she repeated.
As Bonnie began to chant in Latin, she found herself closing out everything around her. It was just her in darkness. She needed her powers back. They were a part of her. When she began to feel the energy flow through her body, she let out a gasp of what she felt. It was nothing like before when she had her powers there was something more. It was not just light…there was darkness as well.
Even though she was focused on her powers, she couldn't help but think about Caroline, Stefan, and Damon. She had no idea why they entered her mind at the same time, but hopefully she would find out soon.
But then something felt as if it were trying to keep her away; trying to keep her blocked. So, she fought; she fought with everything she had. She would not fail. She would succeed, and once her powers were back, she would be able to defeat Klaus and end this crazy war. Elena and Caroline would be safe. Everyone would be safe.
Caroline was trying so hard not to interfere. The fire in the candles rose up, and she had to move away, just in case they reached her. Bonnie was shaking, and when Caroline smelled blood, she knew it was coming from Bonnie.
She knew Bonnie's blood was different from the rest, but it wasn't the fact that she was her best friend that stopped her, it was the fact that slashes were appearing on her arm and face as if someone was cutting her.
When Bonnie screamed a earth-shattering scream, Caroline couldn't contain herself any longer. She rushed through the circle, and grabbed Bonnie. She was glad that by doing that, the candles went out, because they probably both would have gotten burned.
"Bonnie," she shook her friend, "Bonnie, please open your eyes." She should have never let her do this.
Caroline was able to calm down just a bit at the sound of Bonnie's heart beating in a normal rhythm; it was as if she were sleeping. She really hoped that was it, and she would make sure to yell at her best friend once she woke up.
But right now, she cleaned her wounds, and took her upstairs to her room. As Caroline put a blanket over her, she began to feel incredibly sleepy. So sleepy that it felt like her body was shutting down; almost as if she were paralyzed. Then out of nowhere everything went black.
Bonnie's eyes shot open as she immediately set up and looked around. She noticed she wasn't in her house anymore, but outside in a place that was unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. She stood up and looked down at the dress she was wearing. The same dress she was wearing in the dream she shared with Damon in 1864.
But she didn't remember falling asleep.
"Bonnie?" She heard a voice she knew too well call her name.
She turned around to see Caroline, in similar attire, with a confused look on her face, "Where the hell are we?"
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Also don't think I don't like Elena, because I love her character and the friendship she has with Bonnie and Caroline. But for this story I wanted to stick more so with Caroline and Bonnie.
Please Review =)
