You & Me? We're The Same

The Aftermath of Reaching The End

Bonnie had this image in her head of her mama sitting next to her hospital bed when she was sick with tears all over her face and snort coming out of her nose...and she's smiling. She's telling her about all the things she's gonna do when she's healthy again, all the places she's gonna get to see and all the people she'll get to meet.

"Great people" she whispered while she rubbed her tummy to soothe her, and she knew she wasn't supposed to be able to remember any of this, but she does.

What her mama did for her made her forever a part of her and she could see her so clearly in front of her eyes as she said "I can't save myself, but I can save you my baby girl".

What Bonnie never considered was her father being there too. Not until now, but then again it made sense. How else could her mom gain access to the paediatric ward when there was a solid glass door with no handles to restrict her? Witches could do a lot of things, but teleportation wasn't one of them, at least not that she knew of, and there was no spell that opened locks.

It also explained what she kept looking at when she wasn't looking at her.

She was looking at him.

"You knew about us" She breathed with squinted eyes filled with suspicion. There wasn't a question in her mind that he knew, and the more she thought about it there more the memories came in floods.

"Bonnie-"

"-and you never said anything?" she cut him off, because the more she remembered the more she questioned everything she knew. Was he there in all her memories, hiding from her? Did he know what they were doing in Mystic Falls? Did he know how Grams died?

He was saying something, but she couldn't hear him with them screaming so loud. She couldn't deal with this now. Scott and the others were in trouble. They could unpack their family issues later so she turned back to the woman laying on the bed and placed her hands on her temple.

"Bonnie".

"It's okay, Liam" she said softly when she locked eyes with him. He was standing on the other side of the bed looking just as shocked as she felt and all she could do was reassure him, because she would be fine. She was going to make sure everything was fine, but there were just some things she couldn't control. She realized this when she felt the needle sink into her neck before she could stop it.

Liam practically leaped over the bed to get to her before dad could do any real damage and yanked him away from her along with the syringe in his hand which cut her skin on it's way out.

"Dad, Stop!" Liam growled in his face and pinned him against the wall. "Stop!"

Bonnie turned around in time to see her dad grip the syringe in his hand tighter, but Liam was already way ahead of her so she watched his eyes turn yellow in front of their dad and ask, "Are you gonna try and put me down too?"

She didn't miss the anger in his voice, neither did dad, but he had control. Scott taught him well, and just thinking about him now brought her back to her mission. She was about to tell Liam to get dad out of there, but Melissa walked in with security trailing behind her and she realised that in all the commotion she hadn't even noticed her leave.

Dad didn't fight them when they grabbed him. He couldn't even look at his kids as they walked him out the door, and Liam was next to her cleaning the blood dripping down her neck and onto her clothes before she even noticed it.

"You okay?" He asked and she nodded. She was just fine thanks to him, and right now she was in complete awe of him. He went up against their dad, his favorite person in the world, for her.
