Bellamy woke up to an unfamiliar doctor in his room, now normally this wasn't unusual but this doctor was standing at the end of his bed with his arms crossed, staring straight at Bellamy with an angry look on his face.
"Good morning Mr. Blake, my name is Finn Collins." The doctor spoke when he saw that Bellamy was awake but still kept his eyes on Bellamy.
"Um, please call me Bellamy." Was all he could think to say. "Why are you in my room?" Bellamy rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and sat up in his bed.
"Well Bellamy, I just felt like you and I should have a little chat. See Clarke Griffin is a very good friend of mine, and I don't think she should have anything to do with a playboy like yourself." Finn sneered at Bellamy.
"Look mate, I don't know where you're getting your information from, or why on earth you're having a go at me, but I'm not a playboy, ask anyone." Bellamy said, still really confused about why this guy was here, wasn't he supposedly Raven's fiancé?
"You mean you're not playboy anymore, going by pictures of you a few years ago, you have definitely done somethings that you're probably not proud of." Finn looked at him with a smirk on his face.
"So what, I was eighteen or twenty its not exactly like it was yesterday, I don't understand why you're doing this, I thought you were meant to be marrying Raven?" Who did this guy think he was? Bellamy thought, was he trying to blackmail him or something?
"Still, do you really think Clarke would want to go out with someone with a past like this?" Suddenly it all made sense to Bellamy. "I am very much in love with Raven, but I care about Clarke and I don't want her to get hurt by somebody like you."
"Well I'm sorry but whatever happens between Clarke and I, if anything happens between Clarke and I, then it is none of your business and you have no power to tell me what I can and can't do." Bellamy could feel his temper rising as he stared at Finn.
"She doesn't deserve someone like you, someone who will blow her off the second a newer, shinier, thing comes into view. Don't you think I know what you did with her in your interview? All you're doing is playing with her and the second you leave this hospital you'll walk away from her and never look back." Finn was now leaning over Bellamy, and all Bellamy could think was how much he wanted was to get out this bed and show Finn who he was really dealing with. Bellamy was sure he'd be able to take Finn, in fact Finn looked like some sort of pacifist that wouldn't hurt a fly.
"You know nothing about me, how could you possibly know that I don't have real feelings for Clarke?" Bellamy stammered, because at this point in time he had no idea what else to say.
"Because you have known a week and you've had no one else to talk to except her." That was kind of a dumb argument, Bellamy thought.
"Right, well now that you've decided that can you please leave? I personally don't know what Raven's thinking marrying you, but there must be something she sees that I don't. Although I assume you didn't personally attack her the first time you met her like you have me, so if you don't mind I'd like some peace and quiet now." Bellamy was so angry, Finn had no right to come in here and tell him who he could and couldn't see. In fact, now that he thought about it, Bellamy was mad that the whole hospital was discussing his relationship with Clarke and whether or not they were more than just doctor and patient. Which of course was not true. However much that upset Bellamy. Bellamy was still staring at the space Finn had just emptied when he say Clarke walk past his doorway.
"Clarke!" He yelled from his bed, hoping she would hear him. He listened for a reply and heard nothing but footsteps before Clarkes blonde head poked through his doorway.
"Ah, speak of the devil, I was just talking about you." Clarke leaned on the table at the end of his bed and smiled at Bellamy.
"Oh really? All good things I hope." Bellamy was happy she was here, her presence was much more welcome than Finn bloody Collins.
"Yes actually, we were just talking about when we can discharge you." Clarke smiled at him.
"I thought you had to take new scans? Or am I finally out of the woods?" Bellamy couldn't stop his heart raising at the thought of getting out of the hospital.
"Well, you'll never be completely out of the woods, your heart is now very fragile, so I'm not saying no fun, but you've just got to be careful that I don't wind up saving your life two times in one year." Clarke stuck her tongue out at him, making Bellamy laugh.
"You know what doctor I'll do my best not to die again. So when exactly can I leave?" Bellamy asked.
"Probably tomorrow at the latest, but you will have to come back for weekly checked for a few more months." Clarke said, adding pieces of paper onto his chart.
"That's great, hey guess who paid me a visit just before you did." Bellamy said, he was looking forward to Clarke's reaction about Finn's outburst earlier.
"Who? Anybody exciting, or famous!" Clarke put on a very fake fangirl face.
"Well not exactly, in fact it was Ark Hospital's very own Dr. Finn Collins." Bellamy cracked a smile.
"Finn? Why on earth would Finn be here?" Clarke wrinkled her nose in confusion.
"Well he thought it was his place to tell me that he cares about you and that I am no where near good enough for you." He said with a smug grin on his face.
"Oh really? Did he mention the fact that when I met him and subsequently had a relationship with me he forgot to tell me about his girlfriend, Raven?" Clarke looked angry, oops maybe he plucked a nerve.
"Yeh, no he didn't mention that, just that I was obviously a bad boy rockstar who was going to get out of this hospital and never look back." Bellamy smirked.
"Is that not true though? I mean that's what most people do when they leave here. No matter how long they've been here for." Clarke looked sadly at Bellamy.
"Well. I'm not going to do that, I know for a fact that even if I wanted to forget about this hospital I couldn't because Lincoln spends and insane amount of time with my little sister and your resident, and I've heard through the grapevine that Jasper, Monty and Raven have become quite good friends." Bellamy looked at Clarke. "So even if you wanted to, you're not getting rid of me."
"Well I have to admit I'm glad I get to see more of you." Clarke grinned at him. "Anyway, I have to go, you know, places to be, people to see, doctorly things to do. Catch you later." She waved as she left his room. Bellamy cursed himself, all that talk about Finn and he hadn't asked her out like he'd wanted to. At least she'd said that she wanted to see more of him, that was a bonus. Bellamy grinned to himself.
"Hi Bell! How you doing today?" Octavia smiled as she bounded into his room. Wow three guests in one day, what was so special about today.
"Octavia, long time no see, what, has it been like a day or two?" Bellamy grinned at his sister.
"Yeh I know I've been busy! I am a doctor you know." Octavia puffed out her chest proudly.
"Hey Octavia, can I ask you something?" Bellamy looked at Octavia sincerely.
"Yeh sure what's wrong?" Octavia sat in the chair next to Bellamy's bed.
"What do you know about a Dr. Finn Collins?" Octavia looked confused at Bellamy's question.
"Well he's the best neurosurgeon in the hospital, he's engaged to Raven Reyes, and he's a pretty nice guy, I've been on some of his cases and he's a good teacher." Octavia answered. "Why do you want to know?"
"Just because he paid me a visit earlier today and I wanted to know a bit more about him. What happened between him and Clarke?" Bellamy asked Octavia.
"Oh my gosh it was so bad, basically they were interns together and they were dating for almost a year before his girlfriend, you know Raven, joined in their second year, and the whole time Clarke had no idea about her. Apparently it was the talk of the hospital after Raven arrived and Clarke and Raven hated each other for years. Finn chose Raven, obviously their getting married, and Clarke was a mess for ages, and it was in my intern year that she and Clarke started talking again, which was three years ago now I think." Octavia explained to Bellamy.
"So it was more than just a fling then." Bellamy said, lost in thought.
"Yeh why, is that what he said?" Octavia looked oddly at Bellamy.
"No, it's what she said, kind of, she didn't tell me the extent of her relationship, but now it makes sense as to why he got so angry at me this morning. He told me I wasn't good enough for Clarke and that I was a playboy." Wow this was a joke, who did Finn think he was? Bellamy thought.
"Well Bell, up until this last year your track record wasn't exactly pristine, you can't be mad at Clarke for not explaining the depth of her relationship to someone she doesn't even know." Octavia put her head in her hands.
"Hey I'm not like that anymore and you know it, and your defending your teacher, over me? Octavia I'm your brother." He could feel his temper rising for the second time in one day.
"Bell! Why has this gotten under your skin so much? He's just a guy." Octavia stared confusingly at Bellamy. "You actually like Clarke! You don't want Finn messing with your chance with her and you want to find out if she's over him or not!" A look of realisation spread across her face.
"Octavia" Bellamy began, as a grin spread across Octavia's face.
"Don't try and deny it, to be perfectly honest everyone can see it except the two of you." Octavia looked so pleased with herself.
"Look, ok maybe I do have feelings for her by it's way more complicated than anyone can imagine." Bellamy thought back to his dream Clarke, the Clarke on the ark, when he didn't even know she was a real person, how could he ever explain that? Especially to Clarke, who'd probably think he was some kind of stalker if he ever told her.
"Yeah yeah yeah whatever you say big brother," Octavia winked at him, "but, if you want to ask Clarke out or whatever, you have to give your blessing to Lincoln and I, it's only fair."
"No. It's completely different, you and Lincoln went behind my back, you lied to me." Bellamy clenched his jaw in anger.
"Why not? We're happy Bell, I'm happy, for the first time in a very long time. Why can't you support that?" Octavia looked at Bellamy in desperation.
"Octavia," Bellamy's anger faded, maybe she was right. "O, I know I'm hard on you, I just don't want you to get hurt, or feel the way you did when Mum died." He gave her a weak smile. "If you want to be with Lincoln, then I'll give you my blessing, as long as your happy."
"Oh Bell thank you so much," Octavia threw her arms around Bellamy's neck. "I hope you know how much this means to me, you practically raised me, I couldn't imagine not having you in my life. When I thought you were going to die I was so scared Bell, I was so scared." Bellamy could feel her tears on his shoulder.
"Hey hey hey I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere, ever. I'll always be here for you, I'll always protect you." Bellamy hugged his sister hard, breathing her in. They hadn't had a moment like this since The Grounders took off and Octavia started med school. He really had missed his little sister.
"Thank you Bellamy, anyway I've got to go now, I'm a busy doctor you know." Octavia got up and poked her tongue out at Bellamy. "Catch you later big brother."
"Bye Octavia, have a good day." Bellamy waved at the doorway where Octavia used be and then suddenly, he was all alone again with only the beeping of heart monitors to keep him company.
