Bonnie’s pov
I can’t keep doing this. Coming back to the real world has been hard. Since Caroline flipped her switch, I can’t even talk to her. And Elena is busy with her own problems, which she is dragging me into. Again.
Damon and Elena want me to work with Kai to bring back Lily Salvatore, so that she can help Stefan get his humanity back. Even thinking about Kai brings back memories of the prison world. Even when they all know about how much pain he caused me, they want me to push it down and work with him!
No. Absolutely not.
I need to leave. I have to do this for myself. I need to learn to live for myself.
Third person pov
Bonnie starts packing her bag. She only keeps a few clothes, and the money her family left for her. She ignores all calls from Damon and Elena.
She contemplated leaving a note but decided against it. She looked at her house for one last time, got into her car and left, leaving Mystic Falls and all its problems behind.
Bonnies pov
Sitting in the car I realised, I have no idea where I’m going. It’s not like I have any family left to ask for help, I think bitterly.
But the moment I saw the Mystic Falls sign, a sense of relief washed over me and I couldn’t stop smiling. I felt free for the very first time since I became a part of the supernatural world.
I remember wanting to go to New York as a child. I would tell grams that when I finally leave this town I would go to there. Well no time like the present. Right?
So I made up my mind. I would fulfil one of the dreams that I had as a child and go to New York.
I found a motel in a nearby town and stayed overnight. I planned on leaving tomorrow morning for New York.
