It was the next morning. Bonnie slowly opened her eyes. She saw a silhouette sitting next to her bed, but her view was too blurry to see who it was.
After a minute or three the room became sharper and Bonnie could see who the visitor was. She looked Caroline afraid in the eyes.
“Hi” Caroline said soft.
“Hi” Bonnie said hoarse and shy. “How long have I been here?”
“About 24 hours” Caroline answered. Bonnie nodded. “How, eh, how’s Elena doing?...And Damon?” she asked careful.
“They’re okay, considering what happened” Caroline said. “They’re dealing with it”
Bonnie tried to sat up and groaned. She put her hand on the bandage around her tummy and pulled a painful face.
“I can heal that for you if you want to” Caroline offered.
Bonnie shook her head. “No, thanks” she said. “This pain will remind me of the horrible things I’ve done. I need to feel it”
She started crying, but Caroline didn’t move, didn’t do any effort to console her friend. “I’m so sorry, Caroline” she sobbed. “I wish I had a concussion or even better, memory loss, but I don’t. I remember every single thing I’ve done and when they release me I won’t be able to avoid Elena forever”
“Why did you do it? Why did you have to take it that far?” Caroline asked sad.
“I got consumed by all those powers” Bonnie cried. “I know it’s not an excuse, but I don’t have a better one. I saw a chance to get back at Damon for all the things he’s done, but in all my hate I didn’t see the good things he’s done as well…They will never forgive me”
That Caroline didn’t have a reply on.
“I’m sorry I dragged you into this” Bonnie said soft. Caroline nodded, accepting her apologies.
“You’ll have to face them someday” Caroline said. “And if I were you I’d rather do it sooner than later”

Meg was sitting in front of the mirror in the bathroom of Dorothy’s apartment. She was putting up makeup when the door opened and a woman came in.
“Hi” she said as she walked towards her. “My name’s Heather” she introduced herself and she pulled a chair and sat down. “I hear it’s your first night. How are you feeling? Are you nervous?”
“No” Meg said. “Maybe, I don’t know”
“You’ve had sex before, right?” Heather checked.
“Yeah, of course” Meg responded.
“Okay” Heather said relieved. “This is not a way to lose your virginity”
“Are you trying to give me some kind of pep talk?” Meg asked.
“Yes” Heather admitted. “And to give you this” She put something in Meg’s hands. Meg opened her hand and looked at the white pill. “To get you through your first night”
“I take it it’s not an aspirin” Meg commented sarcastically. She put the pill in her mouth and swallowed.
