Who: Bonnie and Enzo What: Bonnie spills the beans When: Bendy to after Ric's arrival Where: Their place Warnings: Angst most likely
It was true that for months Bonnie had been keeping this a secret from Enzo. It wasn't as if she did it because she wanted to hurt him. Bonnie just didn't know how to explain to the vampire that back home they didn't have a future together. All that she had left of Enzo was this figment of her imagination. She didn't know if he was a ghost or just some part of her living mind that didn't want to let him go. Bonnie could still feel him with her. Enzo was the reason that Bonnie broke through some psychic barrier to create her own world where he existed.
Here in LA, Bonnie was surprised to find Enzo alive. He wasn't dead nor was he some phantasm cornering her brain. Enzo was real and to tell him, to explain to him that Stefan Salvatore of all people killed him, it was just something she couldn't do. Bonnie didn't even know what that would do, what sort of spin that would send Enzo, whether he would be upset or want some kind of impossible revenge. Of course Enzo couldn't do that. Bonnie wouldn't let him because as much as she hated to admit it Stefan wasn't himself at the time.
Now Bonnie couldn't exactly hide it because of Ric. Bonnie knew that she couldn't hide it forever as she waited for her boyfriend to come home to her. Bonnie suspected that he knew that it was something bad. Why else would she hide it for so long if the secret was a good one? It wasn't. Bonnie never wanted for Enzo to learn about his fate.
Bonnie was sitting in the living room when Enzo did arrive. She wasn't going to hide away or not look at him when he entered the room. Bonnie had more respect for their relationship than that. She might have kept this from him but it wasn't as if she did it because he wanted to hurt him. Bonnie never wanted anything to happen to him. Not telling him about his death made her feel as if she was protecting him from that.
"Hey," Bonnie said, trying her best to give him a smile but it didn't quite reach her face.
