Clarke goes to a local bar and drinks lots. Someone starts to hit on all three of the girls one after the other. When he gets a little to close to Clarke, Bellamy steps in. Eventually he throws a solid punch at the guy's jaw.

"I will never talk to you again if you get in this fight." Nia tells him after an extensive argument. He fights the guy anyway.

Later Clarke finds Nia on the couch drinking alone watching sappy Rom-Coms.

"you couldn't watch because you didn't want to see him get hurt..." Clarke paused, "and you couldn't see him get hurt because you like him..."

Nia stays silent but, her major sip tells Clarke her answer.

December 2nd

Clarke's mom survives a little longer so they decide to put her on chemo just to see if it will help. However it is Clarke's last day in Seattle. There are tears from all the girls, and Bellamy stays annoyed at all the tears.

On the plane ride back Clarke falls asleep on Bellamy's shoulder. Nia gets the message for the first time.

End Flashback/Recap

"Look O, I'm not going to get in the way of my best friend being happy. She's been unhappy for long enough."

"So have you Clarke."

"I don't know what to tell you. But I'm not going to tell them. And if you care about me, you wont either."

They stayed silent for a minute.

"Clarke, have you ever heard of the horn of Gabriel?"

"No."

"He's an angel, they say when he blows his horn its the end of time. If you don't tell them by midnight on New Years, his horn blows." Octavia states. And with that they go back inside the cafe.

Standing there awkwardly behind Nia and Bellamy, while Zach sits behind her at the counter.

"Alright everybody", Octavia announces, "Clarke's place, we're ringing in the New Year. I'll be with Lincoln at midnight who will you all be with?"

Zach comes to stand by Clarke, looking at her while she looks back, all the while Nia and Bellamy look at each other. Then trade glances with one another.

In the next few days Clarke is pretty sure she has never thought the phrase 'Oh, you awkward fuck, stop. Please.' more in her life. Zach is just so weird around her friends, and she feels like it's them making it awkward for him and not the other way around.

"Why do you have to be so weird around Zach?" She asks the trio.

"I don't know. He, himself, is pretty weird, maybe he's the one making it weird." Bellamy replies first.

Her first thought of response is 'Yeah, well shut the fuck up douche wad. You had your chance now it's his turn. Let it go and go fuck my best friend so I can begin despising you.' But that just didn't seem practical. So instead she went with,

"No, he's trying his hardest to be friends with you people and you're ignoring him and making it awkward for everyone." Clarke was just too pissed to continue the conversation anymore so she went to the apartment to take a nap. Only to find a note from Zach saying:

I had a great time with you last night. Really hope we can hangout soon. Hope to see you at your party tomorrow, should be awesome. Then again anything with you is awesome. I apologize for saying that but I am losing my mind due to your beauty. Also a dumb thing to say. Ok, well I'm done writing forever. Cant wait for your party tomorrow should be cool.
-Zach

After reading the note Clarke just crashed for a while. When she woke up it was 7 pm and she realized that she need errands to be done.
