On Purpose

A solution?

Josie had been faring well for the last six months considering everything that has happened. She had taken advantage of the time and spent the last couple of months bonding with her mom. To be honest they hadn't thought about the merge. They haven't found a solution for the last 16 years so to postpone it for merely 6 months wouldn't hurt them.

Bonnie had come to town to visit Caroline when Josie heard the news, she was thrilled cause it had been ages since she last saw her aunt. But she also saw this as an opportunity to ask Bonnie about Jo, her bio mom and even her ask her about Kai Parker.

Caroline and Josie were sitting at a cafe sipping on some drinks. Josie has thought about asking her mom about Jo for a while. "Hey mom, I hope u don't mind me asking, but can you tell about Jo, you know how she was before she died.

Caroline gave her a sympathetic look Before answering, "of course sweetie. Your mom decided to study medicine after she left her family. She later decided to join the army, before she left to come and teach at Whitmore college where she eventually met your dad. And you know the rest".

Josie could feel that Caroline didn't want to talk about this, so she wouldn't push her for now. But before they could change the subject a familiar face popped up in front of them, "BONNIE" Caroline, screamed and stood up right away to hug her best friend.
"It's good to see you Care, it has been too long! Oh, Josie, you're here"

"Yeah, so some things happened I guess mom didn't tell you about"

"Yeah, clearly", Bonnie said while chuckling.

So she said down and listened to Josie telling her about everything that had happened back in Mystic Falls. Bonnie couldn't believe that a 16-year-old girl had so much weight on her shoulders and even to come up with a plan like this.
"Yeah, so that happened huh", Josie trying to ease the tension. Bonnie took her hand and squeezed it, " I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner then maybe all of this could have been avoided. You know you're parents wants what's best for you and Lizzie".

"I know aunt Bonnie, I'm also over them not telling me. After all, life is short, so I have to make most of it", Josie said giving her a reassuring smile. She also saw this as her chance to get the information she wanted,
"But since you're here aunt Bonnie, I would like to ask you some things if that's all right with you".
"Of course, ask away", Bonnie said while giving Caroline a weird look.

"Since you're a witch did you ever do magic with Jo? And how was she, as a witch".
"Oh, uhm I didn't do magic with her", "what do you mean?", Josie cutting her off right away.
"Well you see, when we first met your mom, she was human and by that I mean she didn't have any magical powers".
"How? That's impossible", Josie cutting Bonnie off once again.

"Maybe that's enough sweetie, Bonnie just got here, I don't see this as the right occasion to ask her all of this", "of course it isn't, but when will it ever be", Josie said angrily.

"If you'll excuse", she said as she collected her jacket. "Josie, wait where are you going?", "away from here. I'll let you catch up", and with that, she left the two friends alone.

"You don't think, we should tell her?", Bonnie said getting all serious. "I just don't want her to regret this later on, her magical powers are a part of her", Caroline said with a sad expression.

"Maybe, but Care that's not your choice to make, you guys have spent 16 years looking for a cure and nothing, you guys haven't thought anything except if one of them turns, which is a no go".

"I know Bonnie".

...
Josie was sitting in the cafe across the street where they lived, sulking cause her mother had interrupted her talk with Bonnie. Josie was starring out the window just spacing out until a figure appeared in front of her, "Hey, is this seat taken?".

When Josie looked up, she saw a handsome boy standing in front of her, he had a warm smile, his hair was a little a messy which many people think is cute. She starred right into his ocean blue eyes when she said, "yes, I'm waiting for someone", he looked surprised when she said That, he was sure that she alone, but he wouldn't give up right away, "can I keep you company, until that person has shown up" he said with a charming smile. Josie was just about to tell him off until she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. "There you are", Bonnie said while grinning.

"Aunt Bonnie",

"am I interrupting something?"

"Not at all, he was just about to leave, weren't you?"

The guy looked between at them and could clearly see that they knew each other and that Josie wasn't lying when she said that she was waiting for someone. "Yeah, I guess I'll see you around then" and with that, the boy left the two of them alone.

"I gotta say you have perfect timing, aunt Bonnie", Josie said with a big smile, "but what are you doing here and where is mom?"

"Your mom had something she needed to care of so I thought that we could continue our conversations if you would like that, but first tell me about that guy, who was he?"

"To be honest I don't know, he just showed up out of the blue a few minutes ago, asking if he could join me", "and I guess you declined his offer", Bonnie continued.

"Yeah, I'm not looking for something right now, I'm still nursing a wounded heart"

"Miss Penelope Park, I do remember you being head over heels for her and her for you. But don't you think its time to move on and get out there again".

"No, it's not that easy, we were only together for a year, but I could already imagine our lives together, how we would move in together when we got older, getting into arguments about stupid things, getting married and start a family and eventually grow old together in mystic falls. And I'm still hurting every day, every time I see something that reminds me of her or hears a song I know she liked cause it all reminds me of her. It's not that easy to move on from the person that you thought was your soulmate".

Bonnie was speechless but was still smiling fondly at what Josie just told her and if that's how her niece felt then she would support her no matter what.

"How about we talk about something else like me continuing my story before Care interrupted me?", " I would mean like that aunt Bonnie".

"When we first met Jo, she didn't have any magical powers. She had relinquished her magic in a knife which she had hidden from your uncle Kai, which meant they weren't able to perform the merge because she didn't have any magic he could siphon from and that's when the coven stepped in and trapped Kai inside the prison world with the help of my grandmother". Josie took a minute to process what she just heard, "that's it then! What if I do the same thing then I won't have to merge with Lizzie and none of us will die".

"You could do that, but are you sure, you will be giving up your magical powers. You won't be a siphoner anymore, are you willing to give that up?"

"I am if that means that we won't have to go through the merge, then yes I will give up my magical powers".

"I was afraid that you will say that".

"So will you help me do it?"
