Chapter 13- Broken
A/N: Sorry for the late update. Truth be told, I don't know when I'll finish this story. It seems near impossible to write everything by September 8th. If I have not finished it by then, updates thereafter will be slow to very slow. Again, I apologize and I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Oh, and I'm sorry for all the Bamon drama-bickering. It's not fluff. But I realized that in real life, people always have doubts about their partner and many girls/guys immediately start questioning their relationship once a new guy/girl walks through the door. No worries, Bamon will prevail but like every healthy relationship, there will be ups and downs.

"So what did she say?" Stefan asked once he and Elena were reseated in the living room. "Nothing important," Damon said with a shrug, "but she'll be talking to you next. I already told her I'd join her, but I obviously won't. She still trusts us so you can lie to her."
"Great, it's settled then. We go on as normal, and as usual, one of us stays with Elena," Stefan said quickly. "Fantastic," Damon muttered. The sun was starting to set and Stefan could feel his blood thirst start again.
"I need to go feed," Stefan said as he stood up. Bonnie heard her stomach growl when he said that. "I need to go get food for Elena and me," Bonnie said.
"Chinese food?" Elena asked. Bonnie nodded. "Order in," Damon said.
"I have two legs, and a car. Besides, the delivery guy will probably get eaten on the way here," Bonnie said as she shook her head in a knowing way. Elena chuckled.
"Fine, how about we all go?" Damon suggested. Stefan started to say something before Damon cut him to the chase. "Elena will be with a powerful witch and a powerful vampire, don't worry, go eat your bunnies," Damon reassured.
Stefan nodded and said, "I'll join you guys when I'm done." With that, he walked out of the door.
Damon grabbed his car keys and walked out of the door followed by Elena and Bonnie. Elena climbed into the back seat and Bonnie sat up front next to Damon. Within minutes, they were in front of the authentic Chinese restaurant.
They walked in, grabbed a table, and ordered their food. "I'll be back, going to use the restroom," Bonnie said as she excused herself and walked towards the sign that had a female drawn on it.
Right when she was about to open the door, she felt a hand clamp down over her mouth and she immediately used her powers and thrust the person off. Whirling around, she glanced down at the man and saw it was Jason.
"Jason?" Bonnie hissed, "What are you doing in a Chinese restaurant?" Jason got up and brushed himself off huffing, "I get hungry too, you know."
"And this is the only Chinese place you find in Mystic Falls?" Bonnie exclaimed as she crossed her arms over her chest. "It's a pure coincidence," He said with a twinkle in his eye. For some reason, Bonnie didn't believe that for all the money in the world.
Their stares towards each other were interrupted by an old lady trying to get to the bathroom. Bonnie tugged Jason towards the exit sign and pretty soon, they were in an empty corridor that would eventually lead out of the building and into an old alley.
"I know who you are and what you are, Emerson," Bonnie said as she flashed her eyes dangerously. Jason's face immediately changed from happy to serious. "Then you also need to know that I'm not going to hurt you or be a threat to you," Jason said softly.
Bonnie blinked her eyes in surprise. "By working with Katherine, you're a threat to me and the people I love," Bonnie countered.
Jason shook his head. "You don't understand. Katherine is making me. It's all complicated." Jason frustrated paced in the corridor grabbing his hair with his hands.
Bonnie raised an eyebrow and stood there waiting for some kind of explanation.
"Look, Katherine wants me to fight you and she wants to kill your friend who looks like her. We both know that you will end up winning," Jason started.
"If you know that, then why would you tell her you want to be with me and give me children?" Bonnie said, upset.
"I had to say that in order to give her a reason to keep me alive during our match," Jason said quietly, "and the truth is that I do want you, Bonnie, just give me a chance." Bonnie bit her lip and shook her head sadly, "I'm sorry. I'm with someone."
Jason sighed disappointedly.
Just then, Bonnie heard Elena's voice say, "Damon why would she be back here?"
"You are so precious, Bonnie," Jason said softly as he gently stroked her cheek. Bonnie looked up at him in surprise again.
He started to walk away and was about to teleport again when he heard Bonnie speak. "Come talk to me again. Soon," She yelled. He turned and nodded as he disappeared.
"Bonnie?" Damon questioned suspiciously as he came up behind her. Bonnie froze. Crap, he's a vampire, he probably heard everything, she thought. She turned around and tried her luck. "Nothing, just needed air," She said with a smile.
Damon nodded still not completely believing her. "Our food is here, come on," Damon said as he let the girls walk in front of him. Bonnie wondered why he hadn't heard anything. A spell? She thought.
They went back to their table and they dug into their food. Just as they were finishing up, Stefan walked in looking paler than usual.
He sat down next to them as all three of them looked at him. "Katherine found me," Stefan muttered. "What'd she say?" Elena asked anxiously.
"That she was disappointed in my diet. She still wants me though. I basically had to tell her that I didn't love you," Stefan muttered again. Elena hugged him tightly.
Damon cleared his throat. "Alright, let's get back to the house. Enough adventures for one night," He said as he shot Bonnie a weird look. Bonnie looked away. She hated keeping secrets from him but this one was necessary. She knew he'd overreact and never let her go anywhere by herself again.
The car ride back to the boarding house was quiet. Stefan could tell something was wrong between Bonnie and Damon but he figured it was the normal bickering.
When they reached the house, Stefan and Elena went to their room and Damon was left with Bonnie who started climbing the stairs. "Are you going to tell me what was up tonight?" Damon questioned as she reached the top of the stairs. He took off his leather jacket and tossed it on the couch.
"Nothing, I told you, I just needed air," Bonnie said convincingly as she vanished into her room. Before she had even taken her shoes off, Damon appeared in front of her looking tense.
"I thought there were supposed to be no secrets between us," Damon said softly as he crossed his arms. "Damon, if something were ever wrong, you know I wouldn't keep it from you," Bonnie said as she stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck. She chose her words carefully.
Damon seemed as if he was going to argue further but he closed his mouth and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in for a kiss. Bonnie kissed him back passionately but couldn't help but think of Jason.
About a half hour later, Damon said, "I need to go feed. I'll be back soon." Bonnie looked up from her grimoire and said worriedly, "Damon, if anything happens, get back into my protective shield around this house and I'll know you're hurt." Damon nodded before he jumped out of the window and changed into a crow. Bonnie bit her lip as she felt him pass through her shield. It was completely dark except for the glimmer from the moon.
About ten minutes later, Damon had found some tourist wandering the woods in search for the lake. He fed from him hungrily and told him to go his own way and forget everything that happened. Just as he was about to turn to go back home, a figure emerged from the shadows.
"Well, well, if it isn't Damon Salvatore," Jason chuckled as he smirked. "Where's Katherine?" Damon asked. "Home," Jason shrugged.
"Good," Damon said before he moved forward with his vampire speed and slammed Jason against the tree. Jason growled as he thrust Damon across the forest and through a tree. Damon stood up wincing.
"What do you want?" Damon snarled as he walked towards Jason.
"You told Bonnie about my plans with her?" Jason seethed, "Why? You don't even care about her. All you care about is Katherine."
Damon was about to correct him when he realized he shouldn't. "She deserved to know," Damon said quietly. "You should've let me tell her," Jason growled.
"Not a chance. You'll never get to talk to her," Damon said through clenched teeth. He felt his anger boil over the top.
"I already have twice," Jason gloated, "and guess what? She wants to talk to me again."
Damon felt surprise and anger run through his body as he ran forward and punched Jason. Damon stared at him with hate and saw that Jason's lip was split and bleeding.
"She apparently didn't think you deserved to know," Jason chuckled as his eyes darkened. An invisible force stepped forth and punched Damon's stomach in and kicked the back of his knees so they would buckle. He collapsed to the floor and groaned with pain.
"Stay away from her, vampire. Whatever game you're playing with her will leave her hurt once she realizes your true intentions. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were the guy she said she was with. But come on, who am I kidding? Everyone and their mom knows you're obsessed with Katherine," Jason said, chuckling as he walked away. "Stay away," Jason warned again as he vanished without a backward glance.
Damon lay on the floor of the silent forest groaning internally with pain. He got up and slowly started to feel himself heal. He started running through the forest towards the boarding house. Anger, betrayal, fear ran through his body. He didn't have the patience for using the door so he swung onto the tree and climbed a few branches before leaping into their bedroom's open window.
Bonnie stared at him with wide eyes as she took in his injuries. He was healing but his jaw was still somewhat swollen and his knuckles were bloody.
"Damon, what happened?" Bonnie asked as concern filled her eyes. Damon laughed bitterly and crossed his arms as he felt his eyes darken.
"I should be asking you that. Why didn't you tell me you saw Jason again? And why do you want to talk to him again?" Damon asked angrily.
Again, sorry if you didn't like the bickering but I'm trying to keep this realistic...even though it's a supernatural story lol! Hope you guys liked, please review with comments.
