Bellamy woke up on Saturday morning and straight away took advantage of being in his own house for the first time in almost a month. Without having to pull any tubes out of his arms or anything stupid like that, he got out of bed and went down stairs to make himself food, he didn't care what it was as long as it wasn't hospital food Bellamy was happy. He sat down at the table and looked out his front window, luckily enough today looked like a mild September day and there wasn't a cloud in the sky so fingers crossed his date with Clarke would go well. This time he'd thought of everything, he'd even sent out a fake sighting that said that Bellamy and The Grounders were in Manchester recording a new track now that Bellamy was out of hospital, so hopefully they wouldn't get any press following them around. Bellamy took advantage of his new freedom and walked down to the supermarket to buy food for his planned picnic with Clarke, yes, he thought, this was going to be a good date. By the time he'd showered, shaved and readied himself to see Clarke it was already quarter past one, and so he left ready to meet Clarke for the first time outside of the hospital. As he was walking down Chelsea embankment towards hyde park he could feel the apprehension building up like he was about to perform in front of thousands of people again. Bellamy never felt like this before a date, what was wrong with him? Luckily enough for him he only had to wait five or so minutes before Clarke showed up, so he didn't draw to much attention to himself with his guitar in one hand and a picnic basket in the other. To him she looked just as nervous as he felt as she walked up to him.

"Hi," Clarke said breathlessly.

"Hi there," Bellamy smiled down at her, unsure whether he should hug her or not, ah why not got nothing to lose, he thought. Bellamy moved in to hug her but she quickly dodged out of his way. Shit.

"I'm sorry," She stammered, looking awkwardly at her feet.

"No no it's my fault I was too forward I'm sorry Clarke." He tried unsuccessfully to catch her eye. "Anyway so I was thinking I know a really secluded part of the park that we could go to, it's really quiet no one ever goes there what do you think?" Bellamy asked apprehensively.

"Yeh that sounds great." Clarke was looking at her phone obviously texting. Bellamy was starting to freak out, why was this going wrong? He had it planned down to every single last detail.

"Shall we go?" Clarke gave Bellamy a fleeting smile, slipping her phone into her pocket.

"Yes, of course, I'll lead the way." Once again Bellamy couldn't catch Clarke's eye, why was everything suddenly so awkward? They walked to Bellamy's spot in awkward silence, Clarke looked uncomfortable to Bellamy but for the life of him he couldn't work out why. "So I like to come here a lot to write songs because it's so quiet and in the summer there is flowers everywhere and in winter it is like a frozen paradise, especially if it snows." Bellamy said, grinning in Clarkes directions. He felt more relaxed here, this was his space and no one could ruin it for him, not even an awkward date. Bellamy put the picnic basket down and swung his guitar off of his shoulder, he spread the blanket he had brought down in front of him and Clarke and they both sat down on it. "So I was thinking," He started, as he got an assortment of food and drinks out of the basket and laid them on the blanket. "You know me very well, or at least, you know my body and how well it functions very well, yet I know nothing about you other than you have a superpower that allows you to save people lives." Bellamy winked at Clarke, who had finally caught his eye.

"I don't have a superpower." Clarke said, laughing and rolling her eyes. "Bellamy there's something I have to tell you." Clarke started,

"Nope nope I don't want to here it, you can tell me later." Bellamy cut her off, refusing to hear anymore. It's finally going well, don't ruin it Griffin! Bellamy willed Clarke.

Ok, fine." Clarke took a deep breath, looking a bit worried. "What do you want to know about me?"

"Tell me about you friends, not Raven, but school friends, and boyfriends, I want to know the inner workings of Clarke Griffin's life." Bellamy winked at Clarke, who blushed.

"Well I was never the most popular girl in high school, I was a bit of a nerd, but I had a few close friends who I still see a bit now, as for boyfriends I had one at the end of high school and then I haven't really had a proper one since, I guess I just haven't found anyone I trust yet." Clarke said, fumbling with her bracelet.

"Well, it sounds like a perfectly good childhood, and now your a superhero so you obviously did something right!" Bellamy laughed, trying to lighten the mood, even though it was obvious Clarke was feeling awkward, she kept looking around as if she was expecting someone else to show up.

"Yeh I guess." Clarke forced a smile. "So tell me about your life, before you became an international renowned rockstar."

"Well, I didn't use to be this good looking, in fact my Mother used to tell me I looked like the Michelin man when I was a baby." That made Clarke laugh properly, Bellamy gave himself and internal high five. "So when I went to school I was always into music, not sports and in fact, I went through a stage when I was fourteen of straightening my hair everyday." Bellamy shuddered to think about the days when his normally curly hair fell over his eyes, perfectly straight. "and girls never liked me, until I went to uni and started The Grounders, and I've never looked back, not really, Lincoln, Jasper and Monty are the best friends I'll ever have."
"Aw Bellamy your childhood is so unexpected, I expected you to be the perfect kid, and the popular teenager." Clarke looked fondly up at Bellamy.

"Well what can I say, all rockstars have a troubled backstory." Bellamy poked his tongue out at her and started to relax properly, finally things were going the way he had planned.

"So, why did you bring your guitar?" Clarke asked, "what is it your go to move for dates? Swoon girls with your voice?" Clarke giggled at him.

"No I just felt like for the past four weeks I've watched you do what you're good at, so I thought for a bit you could see what I can do." Bellamy reached behind him to grab his guitar but before he could, something caught his eye, the bush opposite him was moving, shit was there someone in there watching them? Bellamy started to panic, no this would make everything go wrong, he thought. "Clarke, I don't want to alarm you but I think there is someone watching us over there, don't look now though." Clarke immediately turned her head, just as Monty, Jasper, Lincoln and Raven fell out of the bush, what the hell? He thought.

"I'm sorry," Clarke whispered to him, "this is what I was trying to tell you earlier." She gave him a sad smile. What was going on? Had Clarke invited them? Bellamy was so confused right now.

"What's going on?" He tried to ask her but she had already wandered over to where their friends were laying on the ground laughing.

"Afternoon Bellamy, sorry for the intrusion but we thought it was your first day out of the hospital and so we couldn't let Clarke have you all to herself." Lincoln tried to smile at Bellamy, but Bellamy saw right through him.

"Why did Clarke invite you all? Does she not like me or something?" Bellamy hissed at Lincoln.

"No, she didn't invite us it was Raven, but I don't know man, I think there's something else going on here." Well Raven obviously meant Clarke, Bellamy thought, and now he was starting to get mad, why did she do this? Everybody sat down on his picnic blanket, with a chorus of 'hi Bellamy' and 'I'm sorry Bellamy' following, he just grunted and stared at the tree behind everybody's heads.

"Guys I'm sorry but what are you doing here, this is meant to be a date, no one asked you to come." Bellamy said, trying not to sound to mad.

"Actually Bellamy, I asked them to come." Clarke replied, not looking at him. What?

"Why Clarke? I thought we were getting on so well?" Bellamy sighed, feeling hurt and angry at the same time. Not a good mix, he thought.

"Ok guys I have something to tell you all that only Raven knows at the moment." Clarke took a deep breathe, "Well, Bellamy just after I agreed to come on this date with you, my mother came and found me and told me if that I was seen with you, it would give the hospital a bad image and there was a high chance that I would be fired." Clarke said, looking down at the ground. "Which is why I invited these guys, because then if we're seen today it wont be just the two of us, so I could make it out like we were hanging out as friends."

"Oh Clarke why didn't you just tell me? I did everything possible to make sure we weren't seen today anyway, but we could have just done something different." What? She could get fired for seeing him? That was complete BS, Bellamy thought.

"I've only just met you! How was I supposed to know that you'd just think I wasn't worth all the trouble?" She practically yelled at him.

"Is that what you think of me? Do you really believe that after basically spending four weeks with me that I'm the sort of person to do something like that?" Bellamy was getting angry at Clarke now. "If I was I would have just walked away from your hospital and never looked back. Just like your mother thought I would." He could see the tears welling up in Clarke's eyes. Good. He was glad she felt like crap. Now maybe she'd know what he felt like.

"Bellamy I'm sorry! I panicked, and I tried to tell you earlier, but you just cut me off!" Clarke stumbled, trying not to cry.

"Well maybe I should just walk away. I'm sure there is plenty of other people that are more worth my time than you are." Bellamy stood up, and looked down at Clarke, completely oblivious to everyone else there, he grabbed his guitar, slung it over his shoulder and walked out of the park. As much as he wanted to he refused to look back, he knew all he would here was the sound of Clarke crying.

Bellamy got home and immediately knew he'd made a mistake, what was he thinking? This was Clarke! The girl who, as cheesy as it sounds, had come to him in a dream and now he was letting her go. Was he even letting her go? He had said some horrible stuff to her, maybe she might never want to see him again. The thought of that made his heart sink, please please please let him not have lost her for good, he prayed. He thought back to his days in the hospital, and even further back, to his days in a coma. When Clarke actually liked him, at least he would get to see her in the hospital on Monday. Yes! That was perfect, he would make it right on Monday, no matter what he had to do and who he had to get past, Bellamy grimaced as he imagined Raven standing in front of Clarke. He had to admit, he was a bit scared of Raven.
