Jesse became distracted by her, and when she asked him if he was okay, he remained quiet – resigning to look at her with a inquisitive stare. It wasn’t like he really had an answer for her anyway. It was her voice, to begin with, but then he was searching her features and the familiarity of them. “What is your name?” he asked softly.

Bonnie watched the man curiously, waiting on an answer to the question she'd asked him. Of course, it never came, and instead he posed a question of his own. "Bonnie Bennett. What's yours?"

“Technically, it would be me doing the stupid thing.” His tone was casual, fun, gaze meeting hers with a soft playfulness. Then his smile faded, became modest, and he’s nodding at her. “You saved my life,” he said upfront. “Right now?  You’re needing a bit of saving.”

"Ha ha. Very funny." she replied, unable to hold back a real chuckle at his subtle correction. Her expression softened as he took a more serious direction. "We saved each other. I never would have found my way out of there without you." she reminded, nodding in agreement to his final statement. " I'm glad you're here.."

“He’s… Matt. Yeah, older guy. His name is Klaus, he’s got that ‘weirdly super dreamy, but I’d also let him tear my clothes off of me’ vibe going on..”

"That's helpful." she muttered, but she moved past it as she listened to Caroline explain her mystery man. "I've never heard of him..."

“Well, hey, I’m available if you need me to kick some guys ass for you. You’re a great girl, and anyone stupid enough to mess with you, doesn’t deserve your time and energy.”

"Thanks, Jenna. I'll keep you in mind." the Bennett witch chuckled, flashing the older woman a bright smile. "And thanks for the advice."

“Well, um.. you’d know though, wouldn’t you?” He swallowed hard. “I’m a bit on edge. I’d greatly appreciate it if there weren’t any sharp, sudden noises… necessary or otherwise.”

“Sometimes you just have to do things, whether they are necessary or not.” the witch replied, watching the man curiously. “...Are you okay?”

“oh god, i hope you don’t believe that. no one could ever replace you bonnie. we were surprised when the new girl turned out to be a witch though, i think you two would get along.” elena hadn’t been so keen on welcoming the latest addition to the group, especially so soon after losing bonnie. “grams comes through once again. where were you ?”

“you’re right. i’m just being paranoid.” bonnie replied, offering her best friend a smile as she leid through her teeth. she liked to believe she was irreplaceable, but given everything else, she wasn’t sure what to feel. “maybe we will.” she agreed with a quick nod, sombering up at the mention of her grandmother. “it’s hard to explain. i’m not sure i even entirely understand. sort of like another dimension...”

“Boy troubles? I’m going to let you in on a secret, boys are only good for two things: being complete idiots and breaking hearts.”

“You could say that.” Bonnie replied, offering Elena’s aunt a small smile as she nodded. “Sometimes it definitely feels like that...”

He shot her a smile. “So, what you’re telling me is.. Mystic Falls is mediocre, in all aspects, sans vicious vampire attacks.” He gave a sigh, as if disappointed. “If it weren’t for my ever-growing paternal instinct towards you, Bonnie Bennett, I’d be on the next bus out of here.”

“I wouldn’t put it that way, but yeah, pretty much.” Bonnie chuckled, smiling as she listened to witch. His next comment surprised her, and her expression softened for a moment before she shook her head. “You probably should go. You didn’t suffer for almost sixteen years just to end up getting hurt because I did something stupid.”

He hated that Bonnie had to feel like this. It wasn’t just that she had lost someone so close to her, and important, but the circumstances of that loss were unimaginable. Sheila Bennett was gone, and her last act on this earth was to ensure her granddaughter didn’t follow her. “We don’t have to be friends, Bonnie, but we’ll always be on the same team,” he offered in return. “And I am so happy to see you’re okay.” It really was a miracle, and he didn’t know how to express just how amazing it was.

As Bonnie Bennett listened to Stefan explain his point, she felt a small sense of relief. Her anger was placated for the moment, and she was able to focus on the better memories she had, on the feelings she normally held for him.“I’m glad to hear that.” she admitted, looking up at the vampire. “We might not be friends right now, but I don’t hate you, Stefan. You need to be careful though, or Damon will take you down with him.”

“Well, I’m still with Matt, but there is an older guy- a friend..”

“How is Matt?” Bonnie asked curiously, though the blonde’s next statement piqued her interest even more. “Older guy?”

[bcnnctwitch]

“Is that really necessary?”

“Is anything?”

“I know that,” he said humbly, not trying to argue. No, it was something he understood from the very beginning, and yet he met her anyway. He put her, and everyone else, into danger and it was no one’s fault but his. All he could do was nod, as he knew sorry was just a word. There was no bringing her back. If anything, there was no way to prove to her that he really was sorry. “She was a good woman. Brilliant, and kind. She did it to protect you.”

Bonnie looked at the Salvatore silently, trying to figure out how to proceed.  She didn’t think he was lying, he had no reason to, but knowing he was aware of the danger he put her in didn’t make any of it better. “She should have saved herself.” she sighed, crossing her arms as she looked at the vampire. Her anger faltered as he spoke of her grandmother, and she was reminded that he wasn’t just a reminder of the woman she’d lost. “Thank you for keeping Elena safe. If something had happened to her or Caroline while I was gone... I don’t know what I would have done.”

He knew that she would understand exactly why he worded it that way. In this case, as with a good portion of their conversations, he wasn’t bullshitting her. The enjoyment of his newfound freedom was probably the most authentic thing about him at this point. As for Bonnie, well.. she did have friends to come back to, but she must have missed the real world just as much. “Mystic Grill. That sounds sick.” Her smile spawned one of his own, and he’s wiggling in his shoes. “Let’s get to it.”

“It’s alright.” the Bennett shrugged, laughing softly at his enthusiasm. She’d never been nearly this excited to go to the tiny eatery, but she knew the witch craved human interaction, and the grill always had someone there. She couldn’t change what had happened in her absence, or the can of worms she and her grandmother had opened when they opened the tomb, but she could do this for him, and that’s what she intended to do. “I’ll lead the way.”

“There’s more than a few new people around here you need to meet. I may or may not have a mystery man of my own.”

“You know, I think more people have moved to Mystic Falls in the last six months than have in my entire life before this point.” Bonnie mused as she raised an eyebrow. “A mystery man, huh?”

She’d be surprised just how easy it was to play that part, especially when it was the only one anyone ever expected of someone. He felt no sympathy toward this vampires, however. No pity. Their existence meant little to him – and seeing as they were putting Bonnie through a hard time, there was really no reason to let them live any longer. “Let’s say we go out for lunch. I don’t know about you, but I’m craving the atmosphere of a lively cafe.”

The last thing on Bonnie Bennett’s mind had been food, especially given everything ( otherwise known as the little ) she’d learned since coming back home, but whenever he suggested it, she wasn’t going to say no. He’d spent nearly sixteen years alone without being able to interact with another living creature of any kind, so if he wanted to go out and be surrounded by people, she wasn’t going to complain. “You know, I don’t really think we have any lively cafes in Mystic Falls, but we do have the Mystic Grill.” she chuckled, offering him a brighter smile. “But I’d love to get a bite to eat.”

He felt as if she was baiting him, but he couldn’t leave her to believe that. He couldn’t live with the fact that she thought he was that selfish, that he would ever want to be. “I want Elena to be happy. With or without me,” he began, his whole point summed up in those two sentences. “I never wanted to put this town in danger. I never wanted anyone to get hurt, especially those Elena cares about. I guess what I’m saying is.. it’s not really a sunset if I can’t give her everything she deserves and keep the people she loves safe.” But if his words fell on deaf words, or if it would take Bonnie some time to take them for what they were worth, he just nodded once more – accepting that this wasn’t going to just disappear. “I’m sorry about your grams, Bonnie.”

“She may be happier with you, Stefan, but she’s safer without you.” Bonnie felt the need to point out, though she appreciated how much he cared about her best friend. It’d be a lie to say that things hadn’t looked up for just a moment whenever Stefan Salvatore had rolled into town, Elena seemed truly happy for the first time since she lost her parents, and the way she felt about the vampire was more than evident. He was good for her, and maybe she was good for him, but with everything else going on, and how complicated it had all become, she couldn’t deny the obvious, or at least, what she thought was obvious. She didn’t react to the second comment he offered, though she did hear it loud and clear. His last comment though, that one she couldn’t ignore. “I’m sorry doesn’t change anything.” she bluntly replied, though she relented only a moment later and offered “Thanks. I’m sorry too.”

“i missed you bonnie, we all missed you.” it hadn’t been the same without the witch around and she had started to accept that it never would be. eventually she pulled back, hands resting on the witch’s arms. “how is this possible, how are you here ?”

“so i’ve heard. though caroline did mention i was replaced...” she teased, though she wouldn’t deny that it had stung a bit to hear that her friends had somehow acquired a new friend to fill her position in the time it took her to come back to them. “grams saved me.” she explained, wondering for just a moment if things would have been for the best if her grams had put the ffort into saving herself instead. “and it just took me awhile to figure some things out, but i’m back, and i’m here to stay.”
