Excuses, Excuses.
[A/N]: This is my first ever fanfic so hopefully it will improve over time. Also I haven't seen past episode 6 so it will start from the end of episode 5 and go au from there. Please review so I know what you think of it, don't be afraid to give me tips on how I can make it better. Enjoy :)
She watched Raven and Finn embrace each other and her heart snapped in two and her eyes watered as tears threatened to spill. She wanted to hate Raven, to direct all her rage at her but she couldn't . All she could do was ask herself why she wasn't good enough. Did Finn even like her? Did he just use her so that he didn't feel alone? She tried to bottle up her feelings and direct her attention to the flares in the sky but when she saw Raven smile at her obliviously it was too much. She had to get away before he feelings erupted and she saw the hurt expression on her face. She contemplated going to the art supply store but decided against it, she wasn't ready to go back there yet. Instead she slipped away from the camp and made her way to her favourite spot near the stream. She sat down underneath her favourite willow tree and took out her notepad.
Bellamy glanced at Clarke, as the light of the flares reflected in her bright, shining blue eyes. He looked closer and he realised that her eyes were watering. He followed her line of sight and realised that she was looking towards Raven and that idiot Finn. Did something happen between them? Did he hurt her!? Before he had time to question why he cared that Clarke was upset, he saw her slip away pass the wall and instantly decided to follow her. Just to make sure she doesn't get taken by one of those grounders.
He followed her through the deciduous forest until he saw her sit under a willow tree and pull a notepad out of her jacket. He decided that she needed her privacy so he hid behind a tree and tried not to make a sound.
A few minutes later Clarke put down her notepad and rolled her eyes."Bellamy you can come out now!" She shouted, startling him.
Bellamy came out of his uncomfortable hiding place and threw his hands up in surrender. "Wow princess maybe you can take care of yourself" He said with his trademark `Bellamy Blake smirk` before sitting beside her.
She bit back a smile when she heard her nickname. "What are you doing here Bellamy?" She asked him.
What am I doing? "I saw you leave camp so I followed you to make sure you didn't do something stupid. You're our only doctor, can't have you dying on us." There. I didn't have to lie.
She pulled a face as if to think about his answer before speaking. "Okay, now what's the real reason?"
Bellamy pretended to look wounded. "Princess would I ever lie to you?" Clarke just gave him a look. Bellamy sighed he should have known not to try to hide the truth from her, it never worked before. "I saw you leaving the camp, looking pretty upset so... Icametoseeifyouwereokay."
"What?"
Here goes. "I came to see if you were okay. You looked pretty upset at Finn.
Clarke flinched at the mention of Finn and Raven which did not go unnoticed by Bellamy. "Clarke did Spacewalker do something to hurt you!? I swear I'll kill h¬"
Clarke grabbed his arm. She was surprised to see Bellamy acting so protective of her. "No Bellamy stop!" She pleaded with him.
"Princess, what did he do to you? Clarke contemplated lying to him and telling him that he was being preposterous, that Finn wouldn't do anything to upset her. But Clarke knew that it wasn't true, Finn had hurt her and she was done trying to defend him.
"We slept together" She mumbled.
"What?"
She spoke louder finally letting out her rage at Finn."We slept together! We slept together and he didn't tell me that he had a girlfriend!" The tear that was threatening to spill finally fell and she suddenly broke down in tears. Bellamy pulled her into him and stroked the top of her head trying to calm her down."Was I not good enough for him!? Was he just using me!?"
"Shh Princess its okay. You can let it all out, nobody's here but me." He whispered into her soft, blonde hair.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" She mumbled into his chest, not wanting to pull away from the warmth of his body.
"Believe it or not, I actually care about you Clarke and I don't wanna see you hurt" He confessed. He tried to lighten the mood "and hey, if you tell anybody I'll just deny it."
She gave him a sad smile and looked up at him pleadingly "Bellamy, will you stay with me? I'm not ready to go back yet."
" 'course Princess"
"Thank you." She whispered before relaxing into him and allowing herself to drift off to sleep . Bellamy smiled and drifted of to sleep himself.
Clarke was awoken by the smell of cooking meat wafting in the air and her stomach growled . She opened her eyes to reveal Bellamy cooking some meat on skewers. She got up from the ground and walked over to Bellamy near the fire.
"Morning." She said giving him a warm smile" Thanks for staying with me last night.
"No problem. You hungry?" He asked, taking a skewer off the fire and passing it to her. She took it from him and licked her lips hungrily before taking a big bite.
"Mmm. Thanks Bellamy. this is delicious" She moaned in appreciation.
"Glad you think so princess" He grinned at her as they took a seat under the willow tree to eat their breakfast.
When they finished eating Clarke sighed. She knew they would end up having to go back soon, they both had responsibilities, but she didn't want to risk bumping into Raven or Finn.
" I know you probably don't want to go back Clarke but we're gonna have to." She bit her lip, feeling nervous. Bellamy could see that she was conflicted so he tried to calm her nerves." If Spacewalker gives you any problems you can come to me, I'll try to help" He said reassuringly. Clarke smiled at him gratefully and nodded once again. He squeezed her shoulders gently and got up, pulling her with him.
Soooo. What did you think?
