Finding Our Way (Stefonnie)

Chapter 7

Bonnie woke up after a long night. She forced herself to close her eyes but she could never fully sleep. She needed Stefan there to hold her under the protectiveness of his arm but instead he was over at Damon's house. She was scared that the book would pop up since he figured that the reason was over there in the first place was because of the book but little did he know, that wasn't the case. Something far worse than writing a book happened and she needed things to be restored...again.

She sighed getting out of bed and walked over to the tub filling it with water and possible a little too much bubble bath. It was Austyn's but it smells like bubble gum so she used it making a note to buy her some more later.

She's been wanting to call him ever since she opened her eyes just to check in but he needed space. She'll try to hold out for a couple of days but no longer.

Stefan scratched his head dragging his feet along the kitchen floor. He slept horribly last night and would've slept even worse if Austyn wasn't there. He now regrets walking out on her, he should've stayed and worked things out but there was no going back now. He's still a bit angry not necessarily at her but just at the fact that she slept with someone else. High or not, it's something that he never wanted to happen, it was the one thing that he leaned on when she arrived because it meant that she still cared and respected him enough to not cheat. He can't wrap his head around it and that fact that the guy she slept with was here in Mystic Falls of all places made it even worse. It made him want to find whoever he was and kick his ass for ever touching his girl.

"You look horrible." Damon walked in.

"I'm not in the mood, Damon. I'm only down here to make Austyn some breakfast then I'm going to go back upstairs and stay there until lunch. I didn't come down here to talk."

"Chill, don't get mad at me I'm not the one who-"

"I don't have to get mad at you, Damon, I already am mad at you!" He kept his voice low even in his anger. "You hit my wife and have yet to apologize might I add. I may have come here but only because I didn't want to keep my daughter in a hotel, I didn't come here because you're the best person I know. I'm pissed at you and I'm somewhat pissed at Bonnie, so I suggest you leave me and my daughter alone today. Thank you for letting us stay here, but this is all that it is. A stay."

He turned, grabbed their plates then walked upstairs leaving Damon alone.

He stopped in front of the door to take a few breaths before opening it. Austyn was watching TV and smiled over at him instantly causing him to get rid of any anger he had left in him.

"Are you hungry?"

She nodded and he smiled walking over to the bed placing their plates on it first then got on himself. Austyn moved to sit in his lap and they said a quick prayer before eating.

Bonnie jerked awake then screamed seeing someone standing over her but calmed holding her hand over her heart when the face was familiar.

"What the hell?" She breathed heavily calming her heart.
