A/N: Omg guys, thank you so much for your respond to the last chapter (after so long not updating the story)! Everyone that left a comment/review asked for Eric to be a good guy so, that's what I will go with. Thanks for helping me, guys! I love you all. This chapter is kinda a filler chapter so it's feels small but has enough hurt/comfort to keep you on edge.

Eric explains them everything with more details. What they will have to do before the wedding and what after it, what they will be allowed to do after that and what action is punishable, their rights and their obligations. His tongue is rolling like a river, like he knows exactly what, when and how to say it, like he had practiced this conversation. It feels like he knew what their questions would be before they even voiced them. He only doesn't mention one thing.

"When will the wedding be." Bellamy asks.

"The day after tomorrow." Eric answers, "The ceremony will start the morning. By the nightfall all four of you will be Trikru like everyone else in our village."

Bellamy swallows, his Adam apple bobbing up and down as he glances to Clarke. She is already looking at him with a sad smile. Bellamy opens his mouth to say something but Eric gets there first.

"Now, Bellamy, I will have to take you to your new house. Your sister and her friend are already there, waiting for you."

"Can I have a minute with Clarke?" Bellamy asks instead, locking his eyes with the man in front of him.

Eric glances at Clarke, asking her if she wants that too with his eyes. Well, her eyes are giving him a very clear answer. The man stands up from the table, "You can." he agrees, "I will be waiting for you outside. Don't take too long, I'm tired and I want to rest." he adds and makes his way to the door. As he opens the door, he says something to the guards in the language that Bellamy and Clarke can't understand but when Bellamy glances over his shoulder to them, they are still standing there, eyes on them.

Both Bellamy and Clarke turn to one another and their eyes meet again after a long time. Both their excretions are sad, scared and worried both more for the others life than themselves.

"Bellamy-" Clarke speaks first but Bellamy cuts her off.

"Clarke." her name slips his lips like a plead, "We still have time to run." he continues, eyes pleading her too, "Tomorrow, I will find a way to get us out of here, I promise. Just say that you're with me, say that you want that to."

Clarke snaps her head to the door, where the guards are standing and watching them. How can he be that stupid and say thing like that in front of them? she asks herself, getting a little angry at him for risking showing them his real intentions.

Bellamy's cups her cheek and slowly turns her head to face his again, "Please, say it." he whispers.

It breaks her heart but Clarke shakes her head in disagreement, "I'm sorry." she whispers, "But this is our best chance to survive down her and I will do anything to protect the people I love, Bellamy." she pauses, "You know that better than anyone else in this life."

Something inside him breaks too, his eyes darken and his expression shifts to anger, "After everything I did for you…" he says, voice colored with hurt too, "You're gonna leave me like that? Why don't you trust me on this Clarke? We can do it, I know we can."

Clarke shakes her head again, reaching up and cups his face in her hot palm, "No, no- don't say that Bellamy. Don't say I don't trust you no- you know I trust you with my life." a single tear escapes her eye and rolls down her face alone, she is hurt by what he just said, "But… we finally have a chance to have a normal life, free from hiding and secrets." she continues, "And I want that for us, it's all I ever wanted for you and Octavia since you trusted me with your secret and we finally have that."

"But I won't have you, we won't have each other." he says instead, "How can you live with that?"

Clarke sighs but not letting go of Bellamy's freckled face, "I want you to know that I will always love you Bellamy. You can give your heart only to one person and I chose you long before anyone else."

Now Bellamy is the one crying and Clarke's finger wipe his tears away from his beautiful face. "I know it will be hard to get used to it, but…" Clarke pauses again, dropping her gaze on the floor, "We need to make this work for Octavia."

Bellamy shakes his head, "Don't bring Octavia to this. This is about us, not her." he says hurt because he knows she will use Octavia against him. He also knows she is right, he just don't want to admit it to himself yet.

"Bellamy, this is about all three of us." she explains, "Our choices affect her too, we are not alone in this and you know it." her hands drop and grab on his, "If it were just the two of us, I would have followed you to the end of the world with eyes closed, but this is your sister we are talking about and I know how you will feel if anything happens to her and I don't want to see you like that ever."

Bellamy stays silent, eyes still begging Clarke to change her mind and run away with him but soon he realizes she more stubborn than he is so he frees her eyes from his and drops his gaze on the space between them, "How can you still be so strong?" he whispers, "All I wanted was a life with you and my sister safe and every time I mess things up…" he pauses, swallowing his emotions, "What did I do to deserve you?"

Clarke is freely crying now, tears rolling down her face uncontrollable and her lips hand up, tears slipping inside and she tastes the salt in them. She doesn't say anything, she only leans forward and captures Bellamy's lips in hers, kissing them gently and lovingly. Bellamy doesn't move and kisses her back, he just sits there, letting her kiss him for one last time.

When she pulls back, she quickly buries her face in the side of his neck and he buries his in her hair, their hands come up and pull each other closer, "Because you were always what I needed and wanted in my life." she answers his question with a whisper against his skin.

Then Clarke pulls back and even though Bellamys doesn't want to let go of her, he does. Clarke lifts her eyes and meets his, "I need you to promise me something." she whispers and Bellamy is ready for whatever she is going to ask him to do, he already knows it will hurt him and he is ready for it.

"I need you to promise me you won't do anything stupid. I need you and Octavia out of troubles. I don't think I can live a life without you being somewhere in this world."

Bellamy smiles at her confession. He feels the same exact thing but it feels like he is the only one fighting for them living and not just surviving. "I promise I will do my best." he says, "And I need you to promise me you will think about what I said. Clarke-"

"Bellamy-"

"No. Please, just hear me out." he cuts her off, "I know we can do this. Just think about it, okay? All I ask is that, just… give it a chance through the night, we still have time."

Clarke sighs and then nods, "I will." she promises and let go of his hands. Bellamy nods back with a sad smile and breaths out, "I should get going. Eric is waiting and I don't want him to get angry and get it out on you later."

Clarke immediately shook her head, "I don't think he is like that. He seems like a good guy. I asked him to talk to you and he let me. You asked him to have a minute and he gave us more than one."

Bellamys doesn't comment on that but it still hurts that Clarke believes they are good as they are. He licks his lips and look at her one last time before voicing his goodbye and good night.

"Get some rest." Clarke advices him, "And kiss Octavia for me."

He gives her one last smile, not as sad as the others and the guards open the door for him. He walks out without saying anything else.

A/N: Fair warning, because this fic turned out lighter that I was planning it to, Bellamy and Clarke's relationship will have some upds and downs in almost every chapter, so prepare yourself. Thanks for reading again and as always, I can't wait to hear about what you think for this chapter! Have a nice day everyone!
