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

chapter 11

If someone had asked him a couple of months ago, what the worst thing he could have ever done to someone he loved was… He probably would have said he already did it, when he time and time again took his aunt Jenna for granted. His parents had already been stolen from him, so he had never believed that Jenna would have ever died and so horribly. So, taking Jenna for granted had been at the top of his list.

But now, he can easily add taking Bonnie for granted to that list. Not just taking her for granted, but cheating on her. Not just cheating on her, but cheating on her with his ex. Not just his ex, but his dead ex.

That. That right there is the crux of the problem. Not only was Anna technically dead when Jeremy had started dating her, but she sure as hell was Dead dead when he cheated on Bonnie with her. And it wasn't just a kiss. It was emotionally as well. Time and time again he would leave Bonnie and then immediately start telling Anna how much he missed her and he would share his deepest darkest fears and secrets with her. So, it wasn't just a kiss.

He wouldn't even have been able to see her if not for Bonnie. Which was exactly what she had said when she was breaking up with him. 'Magic has consequences, and I guess this was mine.' That was the worst thing. He had caused her to believe that this was her punishment, for what? For trying to save his sister and everyone he had cared about from a monster.

To be fair to himself, they hadn't really spoken for a few weeks prior to the kiss. To be fair to Bonnie, she had tried to reach out time and again and he brushed her off citing him still dealing with his grief over his aunt's passing. He had grieved, but in the metaphorical arms (she was a ghost) of his dead vampire girlfriend. Maybe that was the worst thing that he did… use his aunt's murder as an excuse to brush off his girlfriend to spend time with a dead girl.

Whatever the actual number one worst thing that he had done to Bonnie, he knew he had to apologize. So, he wasn't in love with her. Fine, whatever. But he did love her, if only as a friend. There it was, the real problem he had with what he had done: he did it to one of the few people he had still been able to call a friend after his parents died.

With his sorrow at his actions and realization at the fact that he'd lost a friend, he headed out to Bonnie's house. Walking had always cleared his mind, and he could remember a few times in which Bonnie would walk with him after his parents were buried. She wouldn't say anything, or try to make him smile, but in the end when he would think about it he would smile at the comfort she had given him.

Sighing, he looked up as he rounded the corner onto the street that her grandmother's house was on. In the drive there was her car, and behind it another car he knew to be Caroline's. This wasn't strange, since he knew that Caroline, with the new girl Rebekah, had picked up Elena earlier. So it made sense that they would be having a girls' night.

No. The strange thing was the midnight blue Range Rover that was parked behind the other two cars. Try as he might, he could think of a single person who drove that car and would be visiting Bonnie. As he got closer, he noticed that there were two people sitting in the car. Not sitting… Making out? Had someone decided to pull into the first drive and make out? Ugh!

He approached the driver's side and was about to knock on the window when he realized that it was Klaus in the driver's seat. He had the girl almost pulled completely into his lap, and from the moaning, she was quite happy to be there. Annoyed that the guy who killed his aunt, and tried to kill his sister, was parked in Bonnie's driveway making out with some random girl. So he knocked on the window.
