Don't Leave Me When I Need You Most

Chapter 1

It's Time

He didn't understand how it happened. It was a normal morning. Everyone was working and the organization was getting better and better with each minute. Until they heard a loud noise. Something had just crashed. It wasn't in camp. But near. And he immediately knew. The first drop ship had landed.

'What happened' People started asking. They were confused too so some of them ran to hide. He couldn't blame them. He wanted to hide too. He wanted to just disappear from the eyes of the world. So the eyes of the chancellor wouldn't meet his in person.

He yelled at everyone to calm down and made a group of few people to go with him to see what exactly had happened. Just as they were about to go he heard Clarke's voice from behind.

'Wait, Bellamy!'She was walking towards him. He turned his face to her.

'What?' This came out wrong. Too harsh, too angrily. He mentally cursed himself for it. 'I..I mean what is it?'He asked again, this time his voice was definitely softer.

She looked taken aback. Not because of the harsh tone, but because he had decided to correct himself. For her? She removed her eyes from him quickly and took a deep breath.

'I'm coming with you.'

'Are you sure?'He looked scared. Fragile. He wasn't afraid they would still do something to him, was he?

'Yes, I'm sure' She affirmed.

He had to be honest. He was relieved. Something in him wanted her to be next to him. Right beside him so she wouldn't let him crumble. She would never let him fall. And he was thankful for that. At least there was someone other than his sister that cared for him. And it wasn't just someone. It was her. Clarke Griffin. The Phoenix Princess. She was so much different from the other Phoenix teenagers. Or must he say, kids, because they certainly weren't on her level. She was 17 years old for god's sake. How could she be so independent?

By the time he was done thinking about her, they were there. In front of the drop ship. Its door wasn't down yet. So the only thing left to do was just wait. Wait for more of them to join them. For new meetings and new faces. And new enemies, supposedly.

Clarke was right beside him. She noticed his hands. He was having that nervous tic again where the fingers of one of his hands were moving without him realizing it. She had noticed that before. During the torturing. When he was holding the belt. His hand would do the exact same thing everytime before he would hit the grounder. The same thing happened with the torturing instrument. She knew his heart hurt for the grounder, just as much as hers did. But he did what he had to do. And he did it because of her. Because she had asked him to. And now he was carrying this burden. She just needed to show him that they shared it. That he wasn't alone.

That's when they heard the dropship's gate open.

'Oh my god...' Clarke gasped when she saw a familiar face. Her mother's.

Bellamy just brushed his hand with hers so that she knows she's not alone. He didn't expect her to take it and hold it for several moments before letting go leaving him cold , missing her warmth.

Jaha wasn't with Abby. It was a relief for Bellamy. Even though he had pardoned him, Bellamy still felt as if the chancellor had lied to him. He wouldn't agree to it that easily.

'Clarke..?'Abby's voice cracked. She wanted to come closer but it was obvious she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

Bellamy knew about Clarke's problem with her mother. She had told him one day. He had caught her drawing a picture of her family.

*Flashback*

'Wow...'He gasped clearly not able to say anything else.

'Bellamy! Don't do this, you scared the shit out of me...' She whispered, trying not to wake everybody up.

'Seriously , Princess, this is.. amazing.' He got closer to see the drawing better. She just gave him an odd look.

'What, you like it?' She was surprised to see him interested in something so art-y and girly. No one had been that interested except for Octavia, who clearly was a girl.

'It's incredible. Damn, how do you make it so real?'Bellamy kneeled down behind her, looking over her shoulder.

'I learned to accept the drawings as real. As I will never be able to see my dad again.' She didn't turn around, she just stood still.

'Your mom would be here soon, no?' He asked quietly.

'Yeah, I know. The only problem is that I'm not ready for it.'

'Why?'

'You sound more interested than you should be. Why? ' She asked suspiciously.

'Don't get all suspicious on me, Princess. I'm just killing time.' He defended himself.

She let out a deep breath. 'You really want to know? Cause you'll find out the reason why I was locked up too. And the story is not very pretty... not a fairytale you think I was living in.'

'Who knows, maybe I'll stop calling you princess after it'.

*End of Flashback*

He knew everything. That night he had been her rock. She had broken in front of him. Just like he had done in front of her. They knew more about each other than their closest friends the were supposed to be enemies.

'It's time to forgive, Princess. She'll have to accept the fact that you'll never forget.'

'Look, I shot the man, Clarke. He's not just gonna forgive and forget '

'Remember it, because you'll need it too, Blake.' A voice came from behind Abby's back.

Jaha.

Bellamy's eyes widened at the sound of the chancellor's voice. He raised his head to see the man in front of them. This was going to be a hard, hard day.
