Abnormal: Bonnie Bennett [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 8: 162 Candles

Toni's POV

I couldn't help but see how much my life has changed. Before the Salvatore brothers came to town, I was just a normal girl. I wasn't very happy and often cicatrized. Other than that, nothing was different about me from others. I loved my siblings and would never hurt them, and all I wanted to do was make sure they were happy. I was in the closet, and no one had a slight suspicion that I was a lesbian. I was the quiet girl at school, no one knew how I was suffering deep down, but when my siblings were happy or I was distracted and with friends, that pain eased a little. Overall, I was a bit of an eccendentesiast. I didn't mind though.

Since the Salvatores came, I had changed. I was secretive. I barely smiled and didn't care about much. I kept to myself and secretly talked to my sister's enemies. I had watch as someone took away my brother's "girlfriend" and didn't do anything about it. I was being a bad sister and a bad friend.

Pretty much, only three things stayed constant throughout my personality change. My sarcastic comments, my sexuality and my crush on Bonnie Bennett. I knew we were never going to work out, but it was nice to think about what we could have, if she wasn't straight and if the supernatural world didn't exist. It was a dream that would never become a reality, but I was okay with that. At least I had a dream.

Vicki was still "missing" even though she was dead in a ditch somewhere after being staked. They were interviewing people, including my siblings and Matt, but since we never really talked to eachother or anything like that, I wasn't asked to be interrogated. I was waiting outside the police station, I had put it upon myself to see Matt and make sure he was okay. Stefan was standing quite a way away from me, but I didn't mind. Matt walked right passed Stefan when he exited, but I wasn't about to let him do the same thing to me. I rushed towards him and stood infront of Matt.

"Hey, Matt. Have you heard from Vicki?" I asked him, knowing he hasn't, but I needed to act inconspicuous.

"No. I can't believe she just left town, without telling me," Matt began to rant. I gave him a sympathetic smile before turning towards the direction he was headed before and placing my arm over his shoulder.

"I know. It sucks. However, we have not talked or had fun in a while. I'm going to take your mind off of it, whilst simultaneously taking my mind off of my problems," I told him.

"What problems are you trying to ignore?" He asked me, curious. I say Stefan perk up a little bit, telling me he was listening in to our conversation.

"Well, first I keep getting these strange dreams, more like nightmares. Then, there's the case of my oh-so tragic love life. I have officially finished the TV show I have been watching and there's nothing good on the TV. I still have a major headache from Halloween, which hurts like a bitch. Speaking of which, do you know what happened that night? One second, I'm partying outside with some people, who I can't remember, the next I'm in the school, on the floor of a classroom with two people there, the next I'm being put into my car, the next I'm walking around, trying to get some air, and then BOOM! It's the morning, I'm throwing up and have a massive hangover," I explained. Matt chuckled a little.

"You had wayyy to much to drink that night," Matt commented.

"I kinda figured that our already, genius," I stated as we walked to my car. We got in and I drove us to the Mystic Grill to drink our problems away. We spent two hours there, drinking, playing pool and talking about our crappy lives.

I drove Matt home, considering I couldn't get drunk and then drove home. When I was in my room, I locked the door and trained. I memorised my now full notebook and made mental notes of how I can improve while Eluzabeth also gave me notes. I was getting stronger and more skilled by the day, and soon I would be able to know the full extent of my abilities and be able to fully control them.
