"Dad," I gasped as I grabbed my chest at the sudden fright, I took a few deep breaths to calm my racing heart. I looked at my dad he was still dressed in his work suit so I assumed he had only just got in from his flight from California.

"Bonnie." He smiled, obviously he didn't just have the fright of his life, or if he did he was good at masking it. I smiled and jumped into the arms of my father in a tight hug, it had only been three nights since I had seen him last but with the advents since he had been away all I wanted was a hug from him. I felt his arms wrap around me in a warm embrace. "What's this for?" he asked I could hear the surprise in his voice.

"Just glad to see you, I missed you."

"I missed you to sweetheart," he replied placing a kiss on my curls, a smile spread across my face, I pulled away from him and he spoke again. "Well I was just going to get a bite to eat, did you want to come?"

I nodded my head in answer to his question, he smiled fatherly and wrapped one of his arms around my shoulders pulling me close and we walked over to the car. "I like what you're wearing Bon, you look very cute."

"Thanks," he unlocked the car and I jumped into the passenger seat, clicking my seatbelt in I waited for dad to get in. He was ready to go in not time so we reversed out of the driveway and sped off.

"So where do you want to go?"

"Uhm… I'm not fussed, what about that little pizza joint down past the Grill?" I suggested, dad smiled and nodded his head. "So how did you're conference go?"

"Urgh… always the same… so boring." Laughter burst from my lips, my dad could be such a crack up, he has never liked leaving for conferences so when he came back and I asked him how it went he always answered like a teenager. Telling me how boring it is and how much he hates it. That was the one thing that was cool about my dad he could get down on my level and be a teenager, so whenever I need help with something he is the one I go to. My mum left when I was younger and I haven't seen her since, she hasn't wanted to have anything to do with me so I don't see the point in bothering. So it has always been me and my dad, Leo Bennett.

Dad pulled up the car in one of the small car parks, switching the engine off we stepped out together and walked inside. There was very little noise because there were hardly any people inside they all seemed to be over at the Grill. I could hear the relaxing of Jack Johnson's Better Together leaking from the speakers in the furthest corner of the restaurant.

"So Bonnie Bear what do you want?"

"You know what I want."

"Alright, go pick a seat for us."

Turning I walked over to a table near the window with two seats, I sat there for a few seconds before my phone vibrated in my pocket. Pulling it out I saw that I had a message from Tyler.

Matt's awake.

I sighed a sigh of relief and composed another message replying quickly.

Alright I'll come and see him later… dad's home and I am out to dinner with him to catch up… thanks Ty X

I hit the send button just as it said sent dad took a seat in front of me.

"Who you texting sweetheart."

"Just Tyler."

"Lockwood?"

"Yeah… that's the one."

"Is anything wrong?"

"No everything's fine…"

"Liar," he chuckled.

"How…." I sighed, "Fine Matt is in hospital, and he's just woken up."

"Really… what happened?"

"He got into a fight with someone… and it didn't end too well on his side," dad was silent for moments as if he was trying to figure out who would want to start a fight with Matt. "Dad he's fine that's all that matters come on you just got back from a business trip you don't need to worry about this stuff."

"Alright then… but who would want to fight with Matt Donovan."

"Oh you'd be surprised…" I muttered under my breath.

"One large pizza supreme," a male voice spoke, before placing the pizza down on the table in front of us and walking away. the aromas hit me like a tidal wave and my mouth filled with saliva and a growl rumbled in my stomach, reaching out my hand I grabbed a piece before taking a large bite of it.

Dad and I sat at the table for an hour just talking, talking about everything and anything it was something we hadn't done for ages and it felt to let it all out, laugh out loud and joke about things that were serious.

"So… since you're father's been away have you been up to any mischief?"

I paused for a moment when the memory of the other night entered my mind; I quickly shook my head to get rid of the images and sensations that I was beginning to relive. "No."

"Hmm… really? Wow I remember when I was younger and you're grams and gramps used to go out for a while… I used to get up to some real trouble."

"Really?" I asked shocked that my father would ever do anything out of line because of Grams strictness.

"Oh yeah, I remember I went out with Luke Donovan and the two of us used to go down to the Grill, only back then it wasn't called the Grill it was Shadey's Shack and it was the bomb." He emphasized on the word 'bomb'

"You and Matt's dad… hung out?"

"Of course, he was my best friend; we used to get into so much trouble together."

"Really…" I was beginning to become interested in where this conversation was heading. "So like what did you do?"

"Terrorized Dick Lockwood and his crew…. Uhm… well I remember he used to force me to go to Shadey's just so he could try and win over Kelly Masters."

"But from what I've heard Matt's dad was an arse…"

"That was in his later life… when he was a teenager he was different… fun even."

"Anyways what else did you do?"

"Well the one thing I remember doing with him so well was the two of us went to Shady's and the two of us made a twenty dollar bet the he couldn't win over Kelly because… well because, anyway that whole night he spent trying to get her to go out with him, didn't turn out to good for him because…" he began to laugh at this point which made my smile grow. "He had to streak through the main part of town before she would go out with him."

"Oh my god… did he do it?"

"You better believe he did it, to Kelly's disappointment, so the two of them went on a date and from then on they spent the rest of the time together."

We spent the rest of the night sitting at that small table in the Pizza place and talked about everything and anything, but I didn't mention Damon not once and I was so proud of myself.

"Well I guess we had better get going then."

"Yeah I think so," with that the two of us got to our feet and walked out to the car.

The car ride home was quite, we had talked ourselves out, it was a comfortable silence and I had a smile on my face the whole car ride home.

Once I stepped inside I said goodnight to dad and ascended up my stairs and walked into my room changing out of my outfit into my fluffy purple PJ bottoms with bugs bunny on them and a singlet. Flicking my lamp on I turned my big light off and jumped under my blankets getting comfortable I flicked the lamp off.

"Bonnie," my eyes flung open at the sound my name.
