Chapter 1

Bonnie's POV

A/N: This isn't my first Damon/Bonnie story but it is for the TV show, so go easy on me please.

I sat in my room, feeling numb like always these days. I knew I was being dumb, and maybe even irrational, but I couldn't get rid of that empty feeling building up in the pit of my chest. Grams was gone. The one person I could always count on was gone. Don't get me wrong, I loved my dad, but there are a lot of things I can't talk to him about without it being awkward, and he hasn't even excepted my powers, so how could I talk to him about that.

I guess there was always Elena, but lately, she's been hanging out with Stefan and even Damon more and more, and I just couldn't take that. In so many ways, they were to blame for Grams death, and yet Elena, my best friend, still hovered around them. I guess I could kind of understand Stefan, but why she would tolerate Damon was beyond me. Not only had that bastard played a part in Gram's death, but I guess Elena has also forgotten that he had spent days hurting Caroline.

God I really need to stop thinking about him. Every time I do it gets my blood boiling I scolded myself, making myself lay down in my bed. It wasn't even that late, but lately, I've been going to bed early, simply because I didn't want to think so much. "Hey Bonnie" I heard my Dad call from down the stairs. I forced myself up and when to poke my head out the door. "Yeah Dad?", I called back, wondering what he wanted. We haven't communicated much since I came home.

"It's Elena, she's at the door for you", he answered. I seriously considered just telling him to tell her I didn't want to talk to her, but I knew I'd be drilled about it later. "Alright, I'm coming", I said almost reluctantly, making my way down the stairs. My dad went off to go back into the living room, while I walked up to the door, only to see a distraught looking Elena standing in the doorway.

"What's up?" I asked, hoping I was managing to hide my annoyance at seeing her. She looked almost hesitant before she answered. "Can I talk to you a minute?" she asked, looking surprisingly apologetic. I really wasn't in the mood to talk, but I nodded, and stepped outside, shutting the door behind me. "Ok what do you want to talk about?" I asked, after making sure my dad couldn't over hear, considering that Elena probably wasn't here to talk about anything normal.

Still, Elena looked hesitant, and that made me dread what she was going to tell me. If she was hesitating that much, it was bound to not be good. "Listen, I know this sounds completely unreasonable, after what you've been through, but I want to ask you a favor", she blurted a little too quickly. I raised my eyebrows, wondering what she could possible want from me at this time.

"You're Grams had a spell book right?" she asked. "Yes", I answered flatly, not knowing where this was going. "Do you…think that there might be a spell to erase memory? A vampire's even?" she asked, looking more nervous as the conversation went on. I frowned at her, not liking where this was going. "Where are you going with this Elena?" I demanded, wanting to get down to the point.

She took a deep breath before she answered. "I know this is a lot to ask, but I want to know if you would…erase Damon's memories of Katherine?" she asked, looking at me for a reaction. "Why?" I asked through gritted teeth. She almost looked pleading when she answered. "Listen Bonnie, I know you don't like Damon, and you have every right not too but…I'm tired of seeing him in pain, and I feel like if he forgot about Katherine, that most of the pain would be gone", she answered.

I'll admit, I was a little pissed, but I didn't want to start screaming at her outside my house, so I tried to bottle my anger, and stay calm. "That is asking a lot Elena", I said flatly, and she looked down at her feet. "I know, but I thought I should try. The truth is: I do care about Damon, and I know Stefan does too deep down. It hurts us to see him hurting like this." In my opinion, Damon Salvatore deserved all the pain he was getting and more, but I didn't want to let my best friend down, or cause an even bigger rift between us.

"Alright Elena, I'll think about it. But if I do it, I just want you to remember that I'm doing it for you, not him", I said coldly, and she nodded quickly, knowing who "him" was. "Of course Bonnie, and thank you. You have no idea what this means to me", she said sincerely, engulfing me in a hug. I hugged her back, and we broke apart after only a few seconds. "I'll tell you my decision tomorrow at school", I said, and tried to smile but didn't quite manage it.

She smiled and whispered one last "thank you" before walking away, and I walked back into the house, not knowing what I was getting myself into.

A/N: It might take a little while for me to update this story because I want to wrap up one of my other stories first. Thanks for reading!
