she had not anticipated the sight of peter's face slamming into her like a punch to the gut.
bonnie left her diary for elena to keep. she trusted elena with her innermost, private thoughts. she thinks, perhaps, she has never understood bonnie bennett better than she does now that she's read those entires. she knows, without doubt, that she has never loved bonnie more. elena has a deeper understanding of everything now: bonnie's feelings for peter, her kinship to damon, how she related to her magic and the world around her. how she related to caroline and elena.
mostly, she understands how much bonnie loved peter and how much that feeling was returned.
it's how she knows, along with her own intimate experiences with grief, there are no words that can possibly soften this blow. there is nothing she can say or do that will make this hurt less. pain is the cost of living, and today, pain is the cost of loving bonnie. peter will never regret that.
wordlessly, elena steps forward and locks her arms around peter's neck, bringing him over to her so that she can embrace him. )
open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close
