Light Me Up

Chapter 7: Unconditionally

I knew he wouldn't just leave me. Not after everything we'd both been through with being abandoned. Not after all the time he spent talking about loyalty and sympathizing with me because of how Damon left him too. This one disagreement couldn't be the end of everything.... right? 

"Damn it of course he's not leaving you Bonnie!" I yell at myself inside my head. He said he needed some air and that he'd be back. And then we'd work everything out, I knew it.

Enzo's POV

I didn't even know how long I stayed outside. I knew I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have gotten so upset. I wasn't even really upset, I was more scared. Scared of losing her. But this wasn't about me, I couldn't make it about me. I have to go back in and fix this.

I run back into the cabin, only to see a dark empty room. The fireplace was put out and all the lights were off. I walk into the bedroom, where a a small light shone from the bedside lamp. Bonnie was in bed, her head resting on a pillow, her eyes closed, and the blanket covering the lower half leaving her bare arms out. I let out a small sigh walking over to her and pulling the blanket above her upper body. I sit down at her feet and push the hair off her face. Looking at her I knew I would do anything for her. Anything. She was all that really mattered to me. Suddenly everything makes sense. What was that quote...

"Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else"

Well it was right. I couldn't imagine loving anyone else the way I loved Bonnie. I leaned down and softly kissed her forehead. She started to slightly move before slowly opening her eyes.

"Hi" She whispered softly

"Hey" I whispered back

"I'm sorry" She immediately exclaims "I can be stubborn sometimes..."

"No no... Luv" I smile softly at her in disbelief that she thought she had something to apologize for.

I reach a hand out to caress her face. Her cheeks were moist from what I presumed were tears. I'd made her cry. That fact alone brought about a self loathing I didn't know I had. She stares into my eyes her face looking so pure and innocent. I wanted to protect her, but again this wasn't about what I wanted.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. I'm sorry" I continue "I was wrong to get so upset when you were just trying to find a way to fix this"

"No you're right. I don't know exactly what we're dealing with. Alex is worse than I'm thinking she is"

"But you can handle it. I know you can. You're smart and strong and insanely powerful. I was just scared"

"I have no magic"

I shake my head

"You don't need magic. You're so incredibly powerful with or without it" I let out a sigh "Now I'm not saying I like this or even support it, but if you think it's a good idea... than let's do it"

She looked at me in awe

"Are you sure about this?" She asked placing a hand on my face

"Not at all" I replied making both of us laugh

She leaned forward kissing me
