After explaining quickly what had happened to Stefan and Damon, Caroline ran to catch up with Bonnie before she could leave. She caught up to her just as Bonnie made it to the foyer. Reaching out, she grabbed her arm and turned her to face her as gently as she could, not wanting to hurt Bonnie.

"You can't leave like this, Bonnie! Elena needs us! She won't let Jeremy come over because she's afraid she'll hurt him. We're all she has right now."

"She tried to drain me, Caroline! Jeremy shouldn't be anywhere near her!" She was furious, at Caroline, at Elena, and at herself. How could this have happened? What she had done was supposed to make everything okay, but instead it had blown up in her face.

"Bonnie, she couldn't control it. She hasn't been a vampire for even twenty four hours! How is she supposed to control anything?" Caroline knew she only had so much time to get Bonnie to listen to her. If she left now, Elena would never forgive herself and it would make it so much harder for her to adjust.

Bonnie scoffed at her. "I'm one of her best friends. I've done everything I could to help her and you say she couldn't control herself? She wanted to kill me, Caroline!"

"No she didn't, Bonnie. Elena would never do anything to hurt you, you have to know that." Caroline had softened her voice. She knew how much helping Elena had cost Bonnie. "It was the blood lust. All she knew was that you were human and she could smell your blood. It blinded her. She needs time to learn how to control it. You seem to forget that your Mom bit Jamie and that I bit Matt. We didn't want to hurt them, we just lost control."

Bonnie knew that Caroline was right. Elena would never hurt her intentionally. As much as it hurt her, she knew her Mom loved Jamie, probably more than she loved her own daughter, and wouldn't have hurt him. Caroline had been in love with Matt when she bit him and had broken up with him to protect him from being hurt by her again.

"You're right, Caroline, I know you're right, but…" She broke off as her tears started falling again. She took a deep breath as Caroline moved to wrap her arms around her. She allowed her best friend to comfort her for a few minutes before pulling back. She wiped her tears away and looked at Caroline. "Alright, I'll stay for a little while so that Elena knows that I forgive her. But, then I need to go check on Jeremy. He shouldn't be alone right now, not after everything he's lost."

Caroline felt relief spread through her and smiled at Bonnie before impulsively pulling her into a hug. "Thank you, Bonnie! I'll go get Elena and bring her down. It might be a few minutes because I can still hear her crying, but we'll be back as soon as we can." She released Bonnie and started toward the stairs. She paused and turned back around. "Just don't leave, please."

"I won't, I promise." Bonnie gave her a reassuring smile and Caroline smiled again before continuing on her way. With a sigh, Bonnie walked into the Salvatores' living room and sat down on the couch to wait for her friends to return.

After Elijah went to change his shirt, Caroline shooed the brothers out of the room. "We need to change and you are so not staying in here for that. Go down and wait with Bonnie. And try not to piss her off, Damon."

Damon turned around to give Caroline some smart ass remark, but she slammed the door in his face. She wasn't going to get into it with him now that Elena was finally calm.

Caroline put a sunny smile on her face, attempting to look a lot less tired and stressed than she felt. Turning around, she made her way back to the bed and sat down. Elena was already draining a blood bag and Caroline picked one up for herself. She studied the new vampire as she drank her own, silently thanking Elijah for bringing them up. She looked exhausted, but less upset, which was a small step in the right direction.
