Episode 19: The One With Bellamy And The Perfect Girl

It'd been three weeks since Wells had come back. Clarke and him were getting along rather well, she had admitted to wanting to take it slow and he had agreed with joy. The gang still found him rather boring, Octavia would wink at him to try and get him to play back but it would just get him all flustered.

Raven's teasing went over his head and he'd just cock his head to the side and ask her to repeat the joke because he didn't get it. She frowned when he did this - which was a lot.

Jasper and Monty would crack a joke and he'd either laugh too much or not at all or maybe even not enough. When they'd do something dangerous, Clarke would say, "It's too dangerous." and whatever word she said he'd follow it out like he was a robot and that's what he was programmed to do.

It ticked Bellamy - and the rest of them - off to a dramatic extent. When Clarke would usually say 'no' Bellamy would follow behind her, telling the rules of how it was and Wells was doing that. He was telling them the rules of how it was and screaming at them like Bellamy would usually do but it pissed him off because those were his morons, his gang, his kids. No one could scream at them except him and Clarke. It wasn't Wells who was in charge, it wasn't his place.

When Clarke would usually say yes, Bellamy would tell them no. It was the whole 'bad cop, good cop' thing. Bellamy would do it so they'd all come to an agreement where they would go out and have fun only with them around to monitor them. It was a smart idea. But when Clarke had said yes, Wells smiled and said for them all to have a good time. Which ended with Jasper going to a hospital. He simply didn't know his place and what he couldn't or could do. It ticked them all off.

Of course though, they couldn't say this. Clarke was at her happiest peek and Bellamy didn't even have the guts to tell her how they all felt.

So Bellamy did a lot of distractions. He barely showed up at the coffee shop anymore, when Clarke would call worried he'd tell her 'date' and hang up on her. Which he knew was rude and most of the time it was true but half of the others it was just him watching TV. He felt terrible about it but he couldn't stand the sight of Clarke laughing with Wells smiling at her. It made his heart sink and his ears buzz.

He was going out now with this girl Mel. And when he said 'I'll call you later' he actually called her later this time.

She had told him all about herself, it was mostly her talking but he didn't mind. He didn't want to talk about his life right now. Didn't want to bring up the girl he still loved even from his childhood. So she talked and he laughed on the parts he was suppose to, snorted at the parts he was suppose to and said how lame she was on the parts he was suppose to.

That ended with her asking if they could have dinner this time and maybe hopefully not end with each other doing it in the bathroom and instead, maybe his apartment. He had agreed and hung up.

Here he was, dating a girl for more than one day. (Who wasn't Clarke.)

She then said how he was always talking about his friends and how she wanted to meet them. So he had agreed and showed her to the coffee where he knew they'd be. Right when he opened the door and said 'hey' Clarke ran at him. Encasing him in a hug he wasn't expecting and holding on so tight he thought his ribs might break.

He wanted them to. He wanted them to so it'd crush his heart so he wouldn't have to feel how he did for her. Because smelling her strawberry hair and seeing her beautiful braid that adorned her head and her sparkling blue eyes didn't help his emotions. She gave him a determined look before she shoved him. "You better have an explanation for yourself, Bellamy Blake! And it better be damn good. You had me worried sick!"

"I kind of met someone." Bellamy said, he hates the way how he wants her to feel bad. Knows he shouldn't want that, that its stupid and petty.

She looks over to the girl beside him and smiles politely. Bellamy can tell she doesn't really mean the smile. She looks back to Bellamy with a frown. "It couldn't have hurt you to return my calls."

"He was busy with someone." Wells interjects. "He's a grown man, Clarke. He can do as he pleases."

"Like hell he can! I'm his goddamn sister and he didn't even return my calls!" Octavia screams, shoving him like Clarke had done minutes ago.

"You didn't even come for Movie night Fridays!" Jasper and Monty scream.

"Wick and I were calling too." Raven mutters.

He laughs, grabbing Mel's hand and pushing her down beside him on the couch. "I was busy with something. How about you all introduce yourselves, Mel want me to grab you anything?" He asks, pulling out his wallet to buy her something.

"Just a soda. Whatever they got." He nods and goes over to order.

Everyone sits back down, having gotten up when they saw Bellamy. Mel looks over her shoulder to see if Bellamy is ordering before she leans in over to the group and whispers, "Which one of you is Clarke?"

Clarke blinks, Wells raising an eyebrow and she raises her hand.

"Can we go shopping together? Bellamy says your his best friend and I really want us to get along. Bellamy is one of the hottest guys that I've ever dated-" Octavia groans. "I don't want to screw this up and I don't want to be territorial so how about we get along?" Mel pleads, her eyes looking desperate.

Clarke wants to say 'hell no.' She never did enjoy shopping and she really wouldn't like to go shopping with Bellamy's girlfriend beside her. "Sure, that'd be great!" She winds up spitting out, the whole group looks at her with raised eyebrows knowing she'd said that too enthusiastically.

Bellamy comes out, Mel had said her name and the rest of the gang had introduced themselves. Wells saying I'm Clarke's boyfriend, Wells Jaha like it was a badge of honor or some type of title and Bellamy scowled.

"You met them. How about we get going?" Bellamy insists about to stand but she pushes him down.

"How did you and Wells meet, Clarke?" She asks, genuinely curious and genuinely sweet.

Wells explains when Clarke frowns and doesn't answer. Mel says how cute it is that they still like each other after all these years, how even the rough times they had they still want to be together and although Wells is looking at her - Bellamy and Clarke are looking at each other.

"That's so romantic!" Mel squeals, holding Clarke's hand. "Your so lucky! I wish I had a story like that!" She looks so sweet that it ticks Clarke off. It ticks her off how perfect her eyeliner is, how perfect her make up is applied, how beautiful and straight her hair is, how when she laughs and squints her eyes - on her it looks good.

"How did you and Bellamy meet?" Wells asks even though no one wanted to know the story.

"At a bar. I know - not really romantic. But Bellamy was sitting down on the stool, sipping from his beer and literally everyone wanted to go talk to him and before my nerve dropped I went over there and asked him to buy me a drink. I know, I'm totally weird but I asked and Bellamy said 'why the hell not, better to drink with someone right' and we sat down and talked." Mel explains.

"That's really sweet. I'm glad you met someone, Bellamy." Wells congratulates. He then looks at his watch and gets up as he grabs his coat. "I'm late for a job interview, I'll see you all later. Congratulations Bellamy. Bye Clarke." He says, kissing her cheek and running out the door.

"Job interview?" Bellamy asks Clarke who looks sheepish at the ground. "He's actually staying?"

"Bell, don't be so harsh. What do you want me to say? Get out of town?"

"Something along those lines."

"Why don't we like Wells?" Mel asks.

Clarke glares and Bellamy takes a deep breath before he tells Mel to go get him some more coffee. When she does he looks back at Clarke. "So dating her for a day and what then?" Clarke asks, not caring of the coldness in her tone.

"I'm not just gonna date her for a day, Clarke. Maybe for awhile."

"Your joking?" Clarke says and when he stares at her she scoffs. "Bellamy, you're being ridiculous. I know what this is about."

"What is it about?"

"Me dating Wells!"

"Why would I date Mel because of that?"

She clamps her mouth shut, folding her arms and sinks into the couch. "Forget it."

"No, no, no. Tell me. Please. Is it about the night at the coffee shop?" His voice is harsh, so harsh it makes the group cringe and scoot away but Clarke holds her ground. Scowling and shaking her head at him.

She throws her hands up in the air, "Why do you always have to make it about that?" Clarke always had a way of being subtle when fighting, a whisper hiss was more her thing. Bellamy preferred to let the whole world know. "I don't want to talk about this." She confirms, standing to her feet and adjusting her purse on her shoulders.

"What?" He scoffs, "Us? Alright, run away like you always do."

"Octavia, did you take that black lingerie I had? I'm gonna wear it for Wells when he gets the job." Clarke says, malice in her voice and eyes locked in place with Bellamy's glare.

He smiles coldly at that, it was a jab at him even if she was pretending it wasn't, it was. And God, did it work.

Octavia frowns. "It's in your drawer." She answers meekly, dipping her head down and scooting over to where Raven is to hide herself from the scowls of her best friend and brother.

"Go have fun." Bellamy tells her.

She smiles, a crazed smile that she does when she's truly angry. "I will, thanks."

"I'll go have fun with Mel." He tells her as she walks out the door.

"You do that!" She hollers, going outside to the left and he growls, throws his hands up and leaves to the right.

Mel comes back, both coffee in hands and blinks. "Where's Bellamy?"

Mel had to be hands down the kindest person she ever met. When they went out shopping, she always picked out clothes for her and what she thought would be nice on her. She complimented her on everything she did, said how beautiful she was. It made her angry that such a beautiful, sweet person could actually be alive.

Octavia thought so too, saying she actually wouldn't mind if Bellamy kept this one around for awhile. So Clarke had to call Raven to complain about her. Saying she was all too nice and all too sweet and all too pretty and she was probably hiding something really weird.

Raven had laughed at her over the phone as Clarke went on to tell her all the millions of problems Mel could have. "Is Clarke jealous?" She teases in a sing-song voice.

Clarke scoffs. "Of course I'm not." Raven hums, still not believing the answer. "Why would I be jealous?"

"Because she's dating Bellamy. Duh."

"I don't like Bell like that."

"Mm-hm." She hums.

"I don't!"

"Mm-hm." She hums.

"Whatever, I'll talk to you later." Clarke says, both of them saying their goodbyes before she hangs up. Clarke thinks about the whole 'jealousy' and finds it ridiculous. She doesn't like Bellamy anymore, she use to, but that was a long time ago. That moment in the coffee shop was just a moment of weakness. They're just friends...

Bellamy found out that Mel was trying to leave a good impression on all of his friends so he'd asked, "Do you all like her?"

Octavia said how she helped her out with laundry and she's so sweet and she has good fashion taste. Jasper and Monty said she knew how to live and although she was scared she put with it anyway and she seemed really cool. Raven had said she acted totally perfect and there wasn't a bad bone in her body. Clarke although had stayed silent.

"You don't like her?" He asked.

"I don't know, she seems...fake."

"Fake?"

"Why does it matter if I like her?" She exasperates, the feeling of his arm around her shoulder grows heavy with each passing word.

"You're my best friend, how could it not matter? I mean, I was actually thinking about being serious with her."

"Oh please!" She scoffs. "You're never serious about anything!"

"I want to date someone, Clarke. I actually want to go on dates with someone and have someone by my side. I want an actual relationship and I haven't been like this...I haven't been like this since high school." He throws his arm away from her, no longer over her shoulder and now she just feels cold.

Octavia sighs, the unsteady sight of her best friend and brother sitting beside one another with such a grim expression is the worst feeling. Clarke meets her eye and smiles sympathetically, back in high school, they made a promise to one another. To never break up because if they did that'd hurt Octavia and neither of them wanted that and maybe the other fact was that neither of them could afford to loose each other but they didn't talk about that part. She was selfish to come here, after all these years, rekindle her relationship with Octavia only to torture her because of Bellamy and Clarke's past. She shouldn't have done that, how could she ever do that to her?

"You know what? I'm gonna go. Mel and I have a date in a few so I'll catch you all later." He cups Octavia's face, giving her a steady look that says not to worry and kisses the top of her head. He walks past Clarke, not giving her a kiss on the cheek or forehead or head or anything, and it's such a punch to the gut that her stomach sucks in and she makes such a painful expression that the gang thinks someone has actually punched her.

Bellamy sighs, staring at the ceiling as Mel rolls on her side to stare at him. She's very pretty and Bellamy stares at her for a second before thinking of how Clarke's hair use to splatter out across her pillow like Mel's is doing right now and he turns his face away because 'God, did he just think of his ex-girlfriend while his current girlfriend is naked in his bed?' "How did you become so good in bed?" She teases.

"It's a talent." He tries to tease back but he doubts it sounded anything like a tease and more like he just got punched in the gut and was forced to say that.

"Hey," she angles his face to look at hers, "what's wrong?"

He sighs, running a hand through his messy hair before turning his attention back on the ceiling. "Clarke and I got in a fight."

"What happened?"

"Nothing, just...I think both of our minds are set in the past. And I think no matter how much I try I'll always be stuck in the past. I think she's finally moving her mind into the future and...I don't think I can handle that." He admits and she kisses his cheek to grab his attention back to her rather than the wall.

"Do you wanna think about the past?" She asks.

Yes, he does. He doesn't want to think about it, he wants to live it. Because if he lives it he'll have Clarke, he'll be lying in bed with her right now and she'd probably be making him laugh and all he really wants is her. That's all he ever wanted. He says nothing but Mel doesn't let it go like he wants her to. "I think the future is better." She says.

He wants Clarke in his future. Not as a friend, maybe as something more. "Oh yeah?" He says instead.

"Yeah, because maybe I'm in there. You'd like to think about that wouldn't you?"

He says nothing which causes a painful eerie silence.

"Bellamy," she takes a shaky breath, breathing in through her nostrils and breathing out. "I love you."

He feels hollow when she says it. He isn't sure if it's because of how much he misses being told that or if it's because it's not from the person he wants to be told that to. It even might be because he cant respond back to her. It's probably that too. Would she want him to lie to her? Even if he could say it back, it wouldn't feel right.

"Bellamy?" She asks. "Did you hear what I said?"

"Yes." He manages but says nothing afterwards.

"Oh." She says, he closes his eyes because he can now feel how she feels awkward laying in his bed with no clothes on.

He turns around so she can walk throughout the room to grab her clothes and he sighs, "Mel, I'm sorry."

"No, don't be. I was acting silly."

"Mel-" But she's already slammed his door to his bedroom.

He wonders if he should tell her how bad he wants to say it back, how freaking terribly he wants to tell it to her back because she's such a nice and sweet person but he cant because of reasons she wouldn't understand. He thinks about telling her that to justify the reason why he didn't say it because she's such a sweet, pretty and kind girl but drops the idea because he thinks it'll only make it worse.

He comes over to Octavia and Clarke's house once he's taken a shower and got rid of the horrible memory of Mel's sad face. He opens the door and sees Jasper and Monty sprawled out on the floor, trying to do push ups as Raven sits on Monty's back and Octavia sits on Jasper's. Clarke is the one counting the push-ups.

Monty drops to the floor when he sees Bellamy. "Tap me out. Come on, please."

Bellamy laughs. "What are you all doing?"

"Trying to prove how girls can be stronger than guys. Octavia and I did seventy push ups with them on our backs and they only did thirty." Raven says with a proud grin.

He rolls his eyes, greeting Octavia with a kiss on the cheek and turns over to Clarke to see her slumped up in a chair looking disappointed. He kisses her forehead, motioning her to scoot over so he can sit and when she does, he throws his arm around her. He can see her relieved expression from the corner of his eye.

"Sorry Mont, stick through it. Did Raven or Octavia tap out?" Bellamy asks.

"Well no..." Jasper says.

"Then you don't either. In this family we have equality. Push-ups, come on."

And with a sigh, the two heave themselves up again, Raven and Octavia sitting criss-cross on top of them as they talk about their day, Jasper and Monty grunting in the background. "I'm sorry about everything." Clarke whispers over to him.

"It's okay, I'm sorry too."

She nods, continuing to count until the two boys plummet to the floor and raise their hands in defeat. "We give up."

"Girls win. 70-36." Clarke says and Octavia and Raven leap off of them to each other, hugging each other tightly before doing the 'in your face' dance at Jasper and Monty.

A/N: I'm going to Universal today so I just really wanted to post something before I left otherwise you'd all have to wait another week and I didn't want you guys to have to endure a week without something to read so here you go. Lately I've been so busy because I'm getting in shape for soccer season and I'm also doing two more sports for high school so I've been running a few miles everyday. My sister gets up earlier than me and is now hogging this computer so I have no where to write except my phone where I can't post it. So...I've been stressed. Anyway though, I'll try waking up earlier for all of you and get the next chapter done because I need to re-watch the episode and then write it...wish me luck lol. Reviews are appreciated, I hope you all have a good day!
