Clarke and Wells had known each other since the day they were born. The two always stayed by each others side, even when one of them was going through the worst experience one could possibly go through. While Wells' mother was ill, Clarke was always there for him, as well as his mother. She was like a daughter to his parents and they loved her as much as they loved Wells. Throughout the past year, many things had happened in both of their lives. Wells' mother became ill, which led to her emotional death. Clarke's father had been arrested and executed. Since that him and Clarke had been drifting apart. Clarke had been wanting more time to herself, alone. While Wells wanted more than anything to sit with Clarke and talk to her.
Wells' thought that talking to Clarke would help him get over his mother. It turned out that the more he thought about Clarke, the more he thought about his mother. He knew it was because Clarke was a lot like his mother, although she wasn't her daughter and didn't look anything like her. He remembered how his mother used to talk about how he and Clarke would start a family together. Clarke would blush, while Wells' would try to hide a big grin across his face and give his mother a death glare. Wells' and Clarke had both considered getting married one day, but never talked about it with each other.
