Latch (Stefonnie)

Wings

A/N: This chapter picks up right where we left off…

Damon stands there, back still against the wall watching his brother grieve over Bonnie's body, his eyes drift over to Elena and Caroline who are still locked in their embrace the whole sight looked pathetic in his eyes but it was Bonnie and deep down he understood

"I need a drink" he announced and walked out the door

Elena followed him with her eyes as he slammed the door behind him she couldn’t tell if he was hurting or if he just didn’t care Damon was a hard person to read. 

5 minutes before

"Who could say no to that smile?" Elena giggled

"What he has such a cute smile" Caroline took another bite of the chip

Elena walked over to Damon assisting him with dinner they were making curly fries and homemade turkey burgers. Caroline washed her hands to assist the couple at work,

"What do you think their talking about?" Caroline wondered

"I don't know it seemed important" Elena turned to face her

Damon was also bit by the curiosity bug and decided to ease drop on the couple. He didn't hear anything but the beating of Bonnie's heart it was strange he wanted to investigate but there were knocks at the door

"Aren't you going to get that?" Elena placed the patties on the pan

"Nope. It's probably just the cops trying to arrest you and your friends" he widened his eyes

"Ha ha just get the door it could be someone important"

"Like who"

Elena was about to speak but someone beat her to the punch,

"I'll get it" Stefan yelled

They went back to their tasks and within seconds they heard a loud crash coming from the living room and a few fists and stakes later Bonnie was dead lying on the couch.

Present

Caroline and Elena were numb they felt so useless and had no idea how they could help. They watched as Stefan he runs his fingers down Bonnie's curls and stares in her dead eyes. They make their way over and sit on the chair that beside Bonnie's head. Caroline extends a hand and places it on Stefan's shoulder when he looked up at her she offers a soft chaste smile he returns his attention back to Bonnie and uses his hand to shut her eyes. The whole mansion was silent only the sound of their sniffles filled the air.

When Damon returned from the bar hours later it was as if he never left; Bonnie was still wrapped in Stefan's arms the girls made their way over to the chairs next to where Bonnie was laid with tears still in their eyes. Damon knew that this couldn't last forever they needed to be finding a way to fix this in his eyes they were just wasting daylight the damage was already done now they needed a plan.

Stefan picked up Bonnie's hand interlocking their fingers and that's when Damon and the girls saw the ring she was wearing. Only Damon knew that it was their mothers and knew how important it meant to him he cursed silently to himself and made his way to his room. The girls looked at each other questionably thinking the same question,

Were they engaged?

Stefan stared at the ring remembering the promise that they both made to each other he was satisfied that that was their last intimate moment together. He just hated the fact that she sacrificed her life for his, he's already lived she didn't graduate high school yet he hated that she wouldn't be able to live the life that he wanted her to. He had plans for them and their future together rather she would turn into a vampire or not he wanted to be with her till the end, get married, adopt children if she wanted and just start a family and live happily. All his emotions came flooding to the surface his hands began to shake and his fangs were inching their way down. Elena noticed the sudden change in attitude and spoke to bring him out of the state that he was in,
