Authors Note: So this is my first AU story. I truly don't know what to think of this. I had a huge burst of inspiration and couldn't stop writing. Hope you like it!

Alone together

Prolouge

Clarke and Octavia have been best friends since kindergarten when some kids were picking on her because of the 'cheap' clothes she wore, and Clarke threatened to use her karate moves on them if they didn't leave her alone. Of course Clarke didn't know karate but what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them.

Growing up the two were inseparable. Most nights Octavia would sleepover Clarke's and they would stay up watching reruns of old shows, eating everything and anything they could find. Since Octavia lived down the street from school after their last class they would walk over to the Blake house and help Aurora out with the sewing she had to do that day or they would hangout with Octavia's older, overprotective, annoying, snarky brother Bellamy.

Bellamy and Clarke usually didn't get along. He would use any possible way to make fun of her. They were never not making fun of each other and would always be fighting about which of them was right and which was wrong. Sometimes it got to the point where Octavia would go to her room and get a magazine to keep her busy while the two were arguing.

Although they didn't always get along, Bellamy did care for her and he secretly always kept an eye out for her. Like when she was in 6th grade and he was in 8th and a group of boys were making fun of Clarke about her new glasses and Bellamy told them if they kept bothering Clarke they would have to deal with them. Surely Bellamy scared the crap out of them because they never bothered her again.

Bellamy was the guy everyone wanted to be friends with and all the girls wanted to be with. He was the cool guy and everyone knew who he was. Bellamy was never one for long term relationships.. Or any relationships for that matter. He would usually just go from girl to girl never committing to anyone of them. His party attitude only got worse as the years went on.

Him and Octavia were kind of the same. At first Octavia was the super small awkward girl with the big red ribbon in her hair and chubby cheeks. But one day she was none of that, she became this super hot, fun woman that all the guys wanted. After her first boyfriend atom and her broke up, Octavia never wanted to get attached to anyone again so she decided to just have fun and hook up with people.

Clarke was the total opposite of the Blake siblings. She was very studious and would rather study then go out. If it wasn't for Octavia, Jasper, and Monty she doubted she would ever get out of the dorm or out of the ark.

The ark was a small coffee shop down the street from the university they all went too. It was a hole in the ground place that Clarke absolutely loved. She always sat at her usual booth and read her book or did her homework. She always ordered the same thing: a sweet caramel hot chocolate with whipped creme and a slice of crumb cake. The ark was one of the only places she felt at peace at.

This was the place she met her current boyfriend Finn. Hes the barista and took a quick liking to the blonde. He would constantly try talking to her and would memorize her order. After about 2 months he asked her on a date. When she refused his offer her would ask again every day until she eventually said yes. They have been dating for about 6 months. Clarke thought he was absolutely perfect but of course, looks can be deciving...

It's been 8 months since they started university. She was sad that her first year was coming to an loved college. She enjoyed the freedom from her over bearing parents. College was the chance for Clarke to find herself.

She was a med student. Not really by choice because her parents have been pushing into it for as long as she could remember. But despite it not being her first choice she still did amazing in school.

Clarke and Octavia shared a room and across from them were Jasper and Monty. They would all go into the boys room and watch movies while getting drunk off of Jasper and Monty's homemade moonshine.

Life was simple. Too bad that was all going to change very soon.

Chapter 1

Clarke and Octavia sat in Jasper and Monty's room watching tv. They were one of the only dorms to have a tv. Most people didn't have one in their rooms because it cost to much to keep but Jasper and Monty had to have one. They couldn't go that long without playing any of their stupid video games.

As usual, there was nothing to watch. It was just the same news cast over and over again.

" does this have to take over every channel? I don't care about stupid politics!" Octavia groaned as she fell back on the bed in Defeat.

"Leave it on. Maybe it's important." Clarke explained.

"Of course you would think that." Monty joked.

"Shut up" Clarke hissed.

"THIS IS A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE CDC. THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT OUTBREAK IN A VERY NEW AND DANGEROUS DISEASE. WE ADVISE EVERYONE TO STOCK UP ON FOOD, WATER AND OTHER NECESSITIES AND TO TRY AND STAY IN DOORS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND AS LONG AS YOU CAN. PLEASE STAY UPDATED. THIS HAS BEEN A PSA."

The message kept playing over and over again. The group looked at each other in confusion. It probably wasn't that serious because no one here at campus had gotten it yet. Clarke would have known because of her volunteering at the hospital.

"What the hell was that?" Jasper questioned.

They all just shrugged there shoulders. Obviously they didn't know what was going on. This type of stuff always happens and the news always blows it way out of proportion.

"It's probably nothing,lets just Order a movie instead." Octavia mumbled.

"I can't, I have class in about 20 minutes." Clarke paused as she was gathering her stuff together " I should probably start heading ove-"

"Hey princess. Thought I'd see you here."Bellamy interrupted."Hey O"

"For the last time stop calling me princess." Clarke replied angrily.

"No can do, princess." He smirked.

"What do you want" she asked.

"I was wondering if you wanted to walk together. Ya know cause were in the same class." Bellamy said.

Bellamy and Clarke had one class together. One. But that for Clarke was too much. He was always making comments to her during it and would always be annoying her or distracting her from the lesson. But she knew he would never offer to walk with her unless he needed Something in return. She just knew Bellamy too well.

"Fine. Let me just get my stuff." Clarke mumbled.

"After you." Bellamy said as he dramatically gestured to the door.

They walked for a few minutes. Just talking about how nice it is outside today. Some would think this conversation would be boring but Bellamy actually enjoyed it. He knew Clarke loved drawing and when she would talk about how the sun, or the clouds or whatever, she spoke with such passion. Bellamy loved listening to her talk and seeing her blue eyes grow even bigger. Not that he would ever admit he thought so. Others thought that Bellamy hated Clarke with all of him, I mean who could blame them. But really Bellamy actually like Clarke. She was smart, nice, pretty, sometimes annoying, carin-

"What do you really want Bellamy?" Clarke said, removing Bellamy from his thoughts.

"You hurt me Princess" Bellamy scarcastically said and he put his hand to his heart.

"Cut the crap Bell. You would never want to walk with me without an interior motive attached to it."

"Fine you caught me. Don't get me wrong, I do love our walks. But I do need Something." Bellamy stepped closer.

"Okay spit it out." Clarke said as she was getting annoyed.

"Im worried about Octavia." He said quietly. "Is she okay? Has she said anything to you or talked to you about anything"

Clarke had a pretty good idea as to what Bellamy referring too. It was a toss up between Atom and how he recently transferred here or it was about their parents.

Their mother aurora was one of the nicest people Clarke had ever met. She treated Clarke like she was her own. But Bellamy and Octavia's Father was a whole different story. Apparently from what Octavia had told Clarke through the years was that her dad, Robert, used to be this funny and caring guy who would help anyone who needed. But when Bellamy was born things changed. Money began to be a huge issue for the Blakes and he resorted to drinking. He lost his job and Aurora was forced to start her laundry and seemstress business.

Things only got worse as time went Octavia was born Robert would leave without word for days at a time, sometimes even weeks. It was terrible. After about 4 years of constant stress and worry, Aurora threw him out of the house and filed for divorce.

Bellamy and Octavia rarely saw their father after that and when they did Bellamy usually gave him the cold shoulder… Octavia on the other hand didn't. She didn't remember what Bellamy remembered, she was too young to recall everything he put their mother through.

"Bellamy me and O talk about a lot of things. You're going to have to be more specific." Clarke said.

Bellamy looked anywhere but at Clarke.

"Has she told you anything or uh said something about our dad?" Bellamy asked nervously.

"Yes, she's told me about him." Clarke said calmly, never letting her eyes leave his face.

"Has she said anything recently about it uh him?" Bellamy whispered as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"No, not really. Why is everything okay Bellamy?" Clarke asked worriedly.

Bellamy then looked at her as he let out a sigh of relief. His eyes now staring directly into hers. Clarke felt her mouth begin to open but no words came out so she quickly shut it and Bellamy quickly shook his head away from her gaze.

"Its nothing. I doubt my mom even told her so that probably why she hasn't told you." He paused. "Just let me know if she does say anything please?" He asked.

"Yeah, sure. But Bell, if somethings wrong, you know you can always talk to me. I know we aren't the best of friends but still I-"

Bellamy's laugh interupted her.

"Yes I know Princess." He smiled. "Thanks Clarke." He finished as he placed his hand on her shoulder before walking into the building.

Clarke smiled before quickly following after him.

Octavia refused to watch another star trek movie with the guys. If Clarke was there with her they would usually team up against Jasper and Monty and convince them to watch something that they like. But without Clarke here, Octavia was in no mood to fight them alone.

"Is there anything else besides star trek you guys wanna watch?" Octavia pleaded.

Both Jasper and Monty looked at each other and smiled.

"Star wars." They said simultaneously.

"Ugh fine." Octavia said as she got up off the off the floor.

"Hey, Hey! What are you doing." Jasper reached out to her.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Leaving." She said as she grabbed her jacket off the bed.

"No, stay! We can watch whatever you like!" Jasper said.

"No we can't." Monty said angrily as he hit Jasper hard in the arm.

"Bye guys." Octavia waved before she closed the door.

Octavia decided that since she wasen't going to watch the movies with the guys that she might as well go to the ark and get some studying done. And by studying, she was going to go to the shop and flirt with Dax who works the cash register.

She went across the hall and grabbed the books that were on her desk and went right back out the door.

Octavia only started going to the ark because of Clarke and her stupid infatuation with the space boy. At first she would hate going because it always felt like she was a third wheel but then they hired Dax as cashier, and Octavia hated going there a little less.

As soon as she walked in she was hit by wave of coffee and just plain goodness. She took a big breath before heading to counter.

"Hey there Dax." Octavia smiled.

"Hey. What can I get for you? The usual?" Dax smiled back.

"Of course." Octavia flirtatiously winked before heading toward a booth in the corner.

As she was making her way there, she noticed how Finn was nowhere in sight. He had to be working today, he's always working.

Curiosity got the best of her and she went back over to Dax to ask.

"Is Finn working today?" Octavia questioned.

"Uh yeah he is over there." Dax Pointed.

"Thanks." she smiled.

As she was walking up she heard a distinct female voice coming from the same booth and she thought that maybe Clarke was out of class early. But when the table was visible to her she saw that it was not Clarke. There was a gorgeous brunette sitting right next to him instead and it looked pretty.. Intimate.

She was cupping his face and combing her fingers through his hair. So Octavia decided to get to the bottom of whatever the hell was going on and hid in the booth behind them.

"Finn I missed you so much, you have no idea." The girl said.

"I missed you too Raven." He whispered.

Raven?

"Its so great to see you again." He said a little louder louder this time.

But then Octavia noticed that there was no reply so shes lifted her head slightly to give her a visual on them when she saw it.

The Raven girl and Finn were kissing. His hands cupped her face and her hands were wrapped in his black t shirt.

"Oh my God." Octavia said louder than she expected she would.

Finn quickly let go of Raven and faced the booth behind him but Octavia had already gotten out and now she was standing right next to their table.

"What the hell Finn?" She yelled angrily.

"I can explain." He said quietly to her, trying not to let Raven hear.

"Im waiting." Octavia said impatiently.

"Raven, can you do me a favor and go in the back and look for my jacket please?" Finn asked.

"Uh yeah sure?" Raven replied awkwardly.

She walked away with a look of pure confusion on her face. She obviously had no idea what was going on, but then again neither did anyone else.

"Okay listen this is not at all what you think I swear I-" Finn began rambling.

"You mean you weren't cheating on Clarke? And you weren't kissing another girl?" She asked sarcastically. "Cut the bullshit Finn."

"I swear this is all a big misunderstand. Raven and me have been dating since 8th grade and when we went to different colleges we got into a big fight and I thought that meant we were done but then she came here and uh I don't know exactly how it happened but-" Octavia cut him off again.

"I don't care how it happened, I care about what happened; and most importantly I care about Clarke. How could you do this to her?" Octavia asked with disgust.

"Please don't tell her, let me explain." Finn begged.

"Are you crazy? Of course Im gonna tell her. Clarke is the most amazing, smart, and caring girl. Yeah she can be bossy sometimes and yeah a little bit uptight and maybe a little- ugh never mind. The point is, she's great and she deserves way better than you." Octavia said proudly.

Just as she finished Dax came over and handed her the coffee she ordered.

"Everything okay here?" He asked.

"Everything is great." She smiled opening the lid of the fresh Coffee she just received. "Bye spacewalker." Octavia waved as she dumped the steaming hot Coffee on him.

And with that said and done Octavia left the Ark in search of Clarke to try and break the news about how much of an asshole her boyfriend is.

Class was boring as usual. Well at least it was to Bellamy. It took all he had to not fall asleep right then and there on the desk. But apparently Clarke thought the complete opposite. She was concentrating hard on the teacher and writing down every piece of information that came out of their mouth.

When Class was over Clarke did what she did every lesson, which was run out of there as fast as she could. At first Bellamy thought it was because she was so worried about being late that she wanted to get to her next lesson as soon as possible. But Bellamy then realized that she didn't have a Class after this one for a while and she would leave so fast so she could visit her annoying, pretentious boyfriend. Finn Collins.

Stupid Spacewalker.

His nickname around campus was spacewalker. Some might think that 'Spacewalker' would be a weird nickname to give someone. But when was used to refer to Finn it really wasn't weird at all.

You see, Finn is in Astronautical Space Engineering. He is one of the best Astronautical Engineers in his Class. Well he was. That changed when Finn was dared to do something that would go against one of the biggest rules on campus. It was Finn's second year at university and he went to the big first week party that was thrown every year. Once he was hammered off his ass, someone dared him to go into the anti-gravity chamber they had on campus. Going in the chamber without a license and without supervision was something that could potentially get someone expelled. But since Finn was extremely intoxicated he didn't even think twice before accepting the challenge.

That night a huge group of kids followed Finn down to the lab and watched as he stepped into the chamber and turned it thought it was all fun and games until they heard one of the professors unlocking the door and then everyone bailed, leaving Finn alone, floating around.

The professors and school board were so mad. They were threatening to kick him out of the school entirely but they saw that if they did that, then they would lose one of their brightest students. So instead they gave him a months worth of suspension and he had to do community work for the campus by working at the ark for free.

Bellamy thought Finn was someone who thinks they are better than they actually are. He didn't like Finn and he sure as hell didn't like Finn being with Clarke. He convinced himself that he didn't like Clarke and Finn together because he didn't like the idea of Finn being around Octavia as well, but truthfully that wasn't the only reason.

Bellamy shook his head to escape his thoughts about Finn and gathered his books together as he left the building and headed to his room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Octavia was in desperate need to find Clarke. She knew that Finn was probably alway on the lookout for her and if he got to her first he would definitely try to convince Clarke that it was all a big misunderstanding and that everything was okay. It was not.

You do not just cheat on Octavia's best friend and get away with it. No its impossible.

Octavia ran back to the room and noticed that Clarke still hadn't gotten back yet. She thought about waiting for her but then realized she didn't even know if she would come back or not. So she ran across the hall.

"Jasper! Monty!" Octavia barged in.

"What shh! its getting to the good part!" Monty said as he ate his popcorn.

"Have either of you seen Clarke?" She ignored him.

"Not since she left with Bellamy." Jasper replied, focused on the tv.

"Shit. I need to find her. I gotta tell her and." She stopped speaking for a moment as her face lit up. "Bellamy! They had class together!" Octavia screamed as she whipped out her phone.

"Wait what do you have to tell Clarke?" Monty asked.

"No time, explain later. See ya losers." She winked as she ran out of the room.

She quickly went to contacts and dialed Bellamy's number.

"Come on, Come on pick up." She said to herself.

"O?" Bellamy said.

"Thank God!" She screamed.

"Everything okay? Whats wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"Everythings fine. Well kinda, for me it is. But uh where are you, are you with Clarke still?" She asked.

"No" He scoffed. "The princess ran out of our room so fast I couldn't believe her legs could move that quickly." He laughed.

"Shit!" Octavia cried.

"Why? Did something happen?" Bellamy asked trying to cover his worry for Clarke.

"Yes. Something did happen, and I gotta tell her before she sees Finn and she's not answering her freakin' Phone." Octavia said annoyed.

"What do you have to tell her before she's sees Finn?" Bellamy asked.

"ugh I probably shouldn't be telling you th-" Octavia began before being cut off.

"Tell me right now. What did spacewalker do?" Bellamy interjected.

"Well, I went to the ark today and I kinda saw him with another girl and when I caught him he started making up excuses and I know if he finds Clarke first he will convince her its not his fault and I can't let that happen." Octavia cried.

"Im going to punch his face in I swear I-"

"Bellamy please don't say anything. Let me handle it. Please." Octavia spoke.

"Fine. Do you need me to do anything?" He asked.

"Actually yes. Im on the other side of campus right now, could you go down to the ark and see if she there. Clarke usually goes there after class to see Finn. If you find her please tell her to call me." She pleaded.

"Alright. Im on my way there." He said as he walked out of his building starting toward the ark.

"Thanks Bellamy. See you later." She hung up.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Clarke opened the door to her dorm she quickly dropped all of her books on her bed. She looked around to notice that Octavia wasn't anywhere in sight. Clarke thought that she was probably still with the boys across the hall.

She thought about dropping in to say hi, but she really wanted to get over to the ark to see Finn as fast as she could.

As she walked through campus Clarke took in a big breath of fresh air. The weather was starting to change and it was getting warmer. Usually there would be plenty of people outside on the grass but it was completely empty. Weird.

Clarke shrugged off her thoughts and continued on her way to the ark.

As she walked through the doors, the place was just like outside. Empty. Clarke was very suspicious because of all places on campus, the Ark was never empty. There was always at least 1 or two kids doing homework on their laptops and Dax and Finn were always behind the counter or taking orders. But today neither of them were there.

"Finn? Are you in the back?" She screamed out.

"Hello? Anyone Here?" She continued.

What the hell was going on? Why isn't there anyone here? If it was closed they should have locked the damn door. But more importantly, where was Finn? He should be here.

Clarke decided to go look in the bathrooms. There was men's room and there was a ladies room. She first stopped to look in the ladies room because she felt a little weird about going in the men's. Maybe someone was here and they just went to go take a bathroom break and then she would walk in and see them and- Clarke shook the thoughts from her head. It was so easy to get ahead of herself.

She walked in the bathroom and looked around, it looked like no one was here so she bent down and checked to see if she saw any feet dangling front the seats. She didn't.

Clarke shrugged and turned on her heels back out the door to face the mens room door.

Ugh do I really have do this?

She knocked on the door to provide some warning, just in case there was actually someone in there. As she entered it looked the same as the woman's did. There was no one in there. She shrugged again and went back outside to the front.

Clarke leaned against the counter trying to think what the hell was going on. She was actually getting pretty annoyed. What if whenever she came here Finn didn't give her food and drinks on the house and she was a paying customer? To be honest ,she thought, Dax probably thought that today was a slow day so he could just go to the back and take a nap like he usually did.

Moron. Angrily she got up from the counter and made her way to the back.

"Dax! I know you're back here! Wake up!" She yelled. "DAX!"

Then she saw him. On the ground, face down. So I was right. He was sleeping. Clarke smirked. Oh how she loved to be right.

She bent down and shook his shoulder trying to get him to wake up. But when he turned around Dax wasn't Dax.

He looked like something that she had never seen before. His eyes weren't his normal brown, they were light blue almost white. And his skin was pale as a ghost, and that wasen't even the worst part. There was a huge chunk of skin missing from his right arm which was still bleeding out.

"Holy Shit!" She yelled as she jumped back. "Dax are you Okay? You need to get to the nurse."

He didn't reply instead he just got to his feet and started after her. His arms stretched out like he was desperately reaching for something. Then he swung at her.

"What the-? Stop! Dax what are you doing!?" She yelled as she started running away from him.

Again he didn't reply but this time he only groaned and continued to make his way toward her. Clarke kept running. The back of the shop wasn't as big as everyone thinks 'The back' of stores are. It was a medium sized room with 3 rows of coffee grinds and other foods.

There was really no where to go. She was trapped. Clarke decided she better run for the door but when she tried, Dax was blocking her way out.

Clarke was petrified. What was going on? Why was he trying to do whatever the hell he was trying to do!

"Please Dax Stop! Please!" She cried out as he was backing her into a corner.

He reached out for her again and Clarke fell to the ground trying to get away from his reach.

"HELP PLEASE!" She screamed "Stop!"

But he was too close, he was going to get her. She was alone. Clarke closed her eyes, preparing herself for what was about to come. She stuck her arms out to try to push him away and used her feet to kick him back but it wasn't working.

She was prepared for it to end badly. She didn't expect to win this. But then she heard a bang at the door and someone burst through it. Clarke's spirits lifted.

"Help!" She cried out opening her eyes only to see Dax's head being smashed in by a leg of a chair from the counter.

When she looked up, she half expected to see Finn but then was surprised to see a different face, Bellamy. He reached his hand out to help her out and she took it.

"Are you okay Princess?" He asked as he was breathing heavily.

As soon as she was off the ground she threw her arms around his neck and shook her head violently.

At first Bellamy was reluctant of what he should then he realized he didn't care and just hugged her back so tightly. It felt so good to hold her. It almost made him forget what just happened. Almost.
