turning over a new leaf (klonnie love story) On Hold

chapter 7

"Jeremy cheated on you… with a ghost? Out all things he could cheated on you with that's actually alive" Caroline screamed .

"God, Bonnie. I am so sorry for my dumb brother." Elena said.

"To answer your question, Care, yes. When all those ghosts were coming back, Elena walked in on him kissing Anna. Don't be sorry, Elena. It actually is okay, it's not like we ever even talked anymore. I just wish it wouldn't have ended like this. Because, before everything else he was my friend. Now, I kind of just don't want to see his face."

Caroline pulled her petite friend into a hug, and they were soon joined by Elena and Rebekah. It was an interesting sight, four girls hugging, each with a different color face mask.

"Thanks guys."

Rebekah hated to see her friend sad. "If you want, I could rough him up a little. No offense, Elena."

"None taken. I'll actually join. I can't believe that he would do something like that. Ugh!"

"It's truly fine, guys. I just want to hang out with my friends and enjoy our spa day."

"Yes! We will make you completely forget about he who shall not be named." Caroline smiled, happy to be able to help get her friend's mind off of her now ex.

"Oh, yes! You guys can tell me how the shopping day was. I wish I could have been there, but Stefan had a date planned." Elena immediately regretted bringing up her boyfriend in front of a now single Bonnie.

It was so much fun, Lena. We actually went to the zoo, instead. We ate churros and so much greasy food, and Rebekah and Caroline got us in to pet lion cubs! Lion cubs, Elena! They were the cutest things. I just wanted to put one in my bag and smuggle it home." Bonnie brightened as she gushed about the zoo.

"Aww! I'm so jealous. So, why'd you guys go to the zoo?"

"We passed a sign on our way out of town, and this one," Rebekah pointed her thumb at Caroline, "jumped up and down in her seat. She practically begged, much like a child."

Caroline stuck out her tongue at her friend. In response, Rebekah picked up a sliced cucumber and threw it at her. Bonnie and Elena just chuckled and looked at the heated pool before them. Elena grabbed Bonnies hand and squeezed it slightly.

"Hey, I'm sorry that I haven't been around lately."

"Elena, don't. You, your aunt just… I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't able to save Jenna."

Elena shook her head, "You couldn't have stopped it. It wasn't right that it was on you to save her. To save me. I mean jeez Bonnie, you stopped your own heart to try to prevent it. That's crazy. This, everything, is crazy! Ever since I started dating Stefan, it's been one thing after another. Your Grams, Caroline becoming a vampire, and Matt's sister." She started crying.

"Hey, it's not your fault."

"Maybe not all of it, but I know. I know some of it is. I know that your grandmother wouldn't have overexerted herself if I hadn't have gone in that tomb and Stefan hadn't followed. I know. I know, and it haunts me and I'm so sorry. Bonnie, I'm so so so sorry." She looked across Bonnie and looked at Caroline. "And I'm sorry that my trying to be friends with and helping Damon, makes it seem like I don't know what he did to you. He was horrible to you, over and over again, and I defended him. Caroline, I should have never put up with him. You guys are right… He's a monster and I shouldn't have tried to see the good in him. I'm sorry."
