Release Me

Chapter Fifteen

Heads up, this won't be long but it's a two-part. Please excuse any mistakes.

Bonnies POV

It's almost been a week since Caroline and Stefan got here and lord has it been rough. Carolines been clinging to me like a toddler and Stefan's barely said anything. I have no idea what's happened but I'm going to get it out one way or another.

I made my way to the back porch and stopped when I saw Damon sitting on a lounge chair looking out peacefully to the ocean as the waves gently crashed into each other. I could tell there was a lot on his mind but he looked so calm about everything, I couldn't help but stare.

"You going to stare all  day Bennett or are you going to sit?" He questioned pulling me out of my daydream.

I walked over to where he was and comfortably sat on his lap. He wrapped his arm around my small frame protectively as I lay my head in the crook of his neck. "What's going on D? They're both acting like mental patients and I don't know what to do"

"Look Bon-Bon can we just ditch the emo-pires, pretend that everything's okay and go back to normal living?"

I knew he was tired, hell I was too but I just feel as though something's not right.

"Damon there is no normal living with us, have you not noticed that? Nothing about any of our lives are normal and because of that we're never going to be happy or able to live a seemingly 'normal' life."
I got up and walked over to the railing looking out at my view. I need to breathe before I snap.

"Normal is not a word we can use to categorise our lives" I mumbled.

Damon sat with his head down and jaw clenched like he was trying to put together the pieces of a puzzle only he could see before he spoke up. "Is it really all about the Caroline and Stefan situation or do you need to get some things off your chest?" He asked still not looking at me.

"You know what Damon as a matter of fact, no it's not just about them, but I want you to backtrack and elaborate on your normalities because constantly being on the run and hiding out because people want to kill you, that's not normal. Being a witch, that's not normal. Not being able to have a family because I fell in love with a super natural creature, that's not fucking normal Damon".

"Well what do you want me to say bonnie? I'm sorry I can't give you your perfect little family, or that we constantly have to run away so no one dies, I'm sorry I'm such a screw up Bonnie how many times do I have to say it in order for you to understand it?!" At the end of his outburst Damon's veins were popping and his eyes were red with anger but at that moment I didn't care, I need to say this.

"Every time you screw up I have to pick up the pieces!... you know what" I said while running into the house to find out lovely guests who surprisingly were in the kitchen

"Morning b--"
"Balcony now". was all I said before they dropped their coffee and obeyed. I stayed behind and took a deep breath in to calm myself before I accidentally burn... wait never mind no magic.

"Okay since we're all here now let me get a few things off of my chest. Since we became a group all I've done is save all of your asses from the trouble that you deserve for starting unnecessary problems things with the wrong people. All I know how to do is bend over backwards for all three of you, also can we just be glad Elena's not here because if she was this would be a whole lot longer. Right now I'm about 6 seconds from getting up, walking out that door and never looking back so someone better speak up before I make my mind up."

I was bothered when the air fell still, silent and they tried to look everywhere but my direction. Caroline looked conflicted, like she was debating on whether or not to let me in on whatever she's been hiding. Just as she opened her mouth Stefan grabbed her arm and gave her a warning look to which she surrendered.

My fuse is way too short to care about this right now. I made my way to gather somethings so I could leave but I was stopped before I made it out the door.

"Elena's awake"

Tbc...
