Bonnie opened her eyes and the candles expired. She stood and walked out of the square.
“I let him know” she said.
“Guys, I think you should see this” Keith said. Bonnie and Matt turned around to him. He was leaning against the table with a bunch of letters in his hands.
“What do you have?” Matt asked as they both walked to him.
“I found these in Jeremy’s pocket. I was looking for his phone, when these fell out. They’re from Kelsey to Veronica”
He gave a few to Bonnie and a few to Matt and he started reading the first of his own.
“Dear Ronnie,
I’m sorry I had to leave so suddenly. Something awful happened to me last night and I can’t make it undone. And I can’t come back. My parents have been keeping secrets from me, about who I really am. It turns out the woman who raised me isn’t my real mother. I’m going to find her and get some answers.
I’m worried about Amber. I don’t think she understands what went down the night my parents threw me out of the house. Will you look after her? Will you tell her that I love her? I didn’t get to say goodbye. I’m sorry I didn’t say goodbye to you either, but I know it would’ve been too painful. I’ll try to write as much as possible, but there’s no use in writing me back. I don’t have a current address.
I love you and I miss you,
Kelsey”
Keith looked up to see Matt and Bonnie’s reactions.
“Here’s another” Matt commented.
“Dear Ronnie,
I met my mother. She is everything I could’ve hoped for. She’s kind, beautiful and just like me. Of course she was a little taken aback when I showed up at her doorstep, but she didn’t blow me off. She gave me the answers I needed and she offered to stay with her. But I promised Keith I’d stay with him for a while.
Right now I’m traveling with some friends. I wish you could come, but that’s impossible. I don’t think you would like my new friends.
God, I miss hearing your voice, seeing your face. I miss your hands in mine. I just really miss you. When the nights get too painful, I think about you and it gets better. No matter how far away you are, you always get me through. I know I’m being unfair to you. I should stop writing, because I know that with every letter I send to you, I give you new hope. But I can’t stop myself.
Maybe one day, when my parents have accepted the real me, I can come home. But right now I’m afraid that when I put one toe into Mystic Falls they’ll come after me with a pitchfork.
I love you and I miss you,
Kelsey”
“Oh my God” Bonnie said as realization hit her in the face. “Kelsey wasn’t Veronica’s best friend. She was her girlfriend”
“I let him know” she said.

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena said sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a date tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
