If you have read the chapter, this is for you. I’ve gotten many PMs and anons asking me about Bonnie and why in the world she was upset with Damon. Some people were very concerned for her as well, in a sense that she is becoming too prudy or not as smart as they’d like her to be.
First of all I would like to remind everyone that this is an AU fic and everything you know about these characters from the show should be left behind. We are not doing that here. I want the characters in this fic to have their own new personalities.
Now, lets move on to Bonnie.
MMAM Bonnie is very different from your average girl. She keeps to herself, she isn’t into anything mainstream and she is very reserved when it comes to feelings. However this in no way means she is prudy or shy. She is a private person who cares a great deal about her family and friends. She is also very insecure when it comes to relationships.
She’s starting to fall for him, very much. She feels it, very much. And on top of that, she realizes he is starting to feel the same.
Instant connection. Instant attraction. Sounds perfect, right?
That’s what Bonnie thought as well. Then she found out he had a girlfriend all this time and he told her nothing about it.
The reason Bonnie was so surprised and hurt by the whole thing was exactly that. She was finally ready to open up to someone, something she hasn’t done for so long.She was ready to be vulnerable. She cared for him deeply. She broke her own rules for him and he messed up big time.
On top of that we have Elena. Why wasn’t Bonnie her usual sassy self around her? The girls just got her heart broken and she is getting crap from the one person she is least ready to hear it from. It’s kind of a lot. Now I know all of you rooted for Bonnie and wanted her to go full savage on Elena, but let’s be real here, in real life that wouldn’t have happened.
Most people would choose the high road. Especially someone as intelligent and calm as Bonnie. She doesn’t need to add fuel to the fire. She is too smart to get on Elena’s level and that is something I wanted to showcase in this chapter.
I hope this clears it up.
Sorry for the rant and thank you to everyone who reads the story! You guys have been the best through all of this. Feel free to hit me up with more questions or remarks here or on FF. I’ll gladly interact with you (duuh, interaction with my readers is the best part of all of this!).
