For those who asked about why I re wrote this, I felt like it progressed to quickly, everything moved really fast, so fast that I had a hard time finding a way to close it out. I didn't change alot, just slowed it down a bit, I saved those smut chapters, haha they will be put back in. I wanted a more gradual relationship change, I felt like the way I had it written made the relationship a rebound and that wasn't the perspective I wanted. It just happened to fast! I know, I know, just bare with me lol.

Raven skimmed through Clarke's phone growing angrier by the second.
"I'm so sorry" Clarke said as Raven leaned against the wall.
"Don't be, he's the only one who should be sorry" She replied handing her phone back to her. Clarke just nodded.
"Correction, he's going to be, he obviously doesn't deserve us, look at us, we deserve better, give me a few minutes and then come say hi" Raven smiled.
"Okay, sounds good" Clarke headed out and over to the table. She filled Bellamy and Octavia in, they ordered another round of drinks before standing and heading for Finn's table.
"Clarke!, what a surprise!" He said jumping from his seat and looking at her before turning to Bellamy. "However, I'm not surprised to see you" He said glaring at the taller man beside her. "That's funny I'm not surprised to see you either, or Raven" Clarke smiled. Finn turned to look at Raven who was now making her way over next to Clarke. "Wait, what?" Finn said acting like nothing could possibly be wrong. "Yeah you see, Clarke and I met in the bathroom we had a nice little chat, Finn you are busted and single" Raven said picking up her purse. "That's a fact" Clarke added turning from him and pulling Raven along with her over to Octavia. Bellamy stepped in front of him when he tried to follow. "Stay away from her, I'm only telling you once" Bellamy threatened, before turning to follow the girls. Finn stood in the center of the bar receiving a few glances as he threw some money on the table, and walked out in a hurry. He could hear the hushed voices in the crowd.
Raven, Octavia, and Clarke were on there second shot. Clarke felt a hand on her hip and heard Bellamy's deep voice extremely close to her ear.
"Slow down or I won't get a chance to dance with you"
"Don't you worry, we are going to go dance as soon as this songs over, I don't like this one" she said.
"I'm in need a rebound, whats your name?" Ravens voice sounded behind Clarke. 'please not him'
"Bellamy, and you must be Raven" he replied taking his hand off Clarke to shake Ravens, Clarke could feel her self tense slightly. Of all the luck in the world.
"I'll take another shot" she said pushing the glass across the bar. She watched him fill it and downed it. She turned to grab Bellamy's hand as the music changed, however he was already out on the floor with Raven.
"See that, that is his type" Clarke said motioning to Raven, Octavia looked to the Bartender.
"She will have another shot" After a series of shot's Clarke and Octavia moved to the dance floor together. They danced together the whole night. Bellamy must have left with Raven because it had been awhile since Clarke had seen him. The two girls paid the tab and started what was sure to be a long trip home. By the time they reached the door they were leaning on each other for support. Octavia fumbled with the keys. Once they got in they both sat on the couch. Bellamy just opened the bathroom door when he heard there voices.
"O, I think I'm gonna head home" Clarke slurred.
"I don't think so" Octavia said looking at Clarke. Clarke wouldn't look up, but Octavia could see the wet spots on her pants from the tears falling.
"Clarke, are you crying?" She asked.
"I'll be alright"
"C'mon it just gets worse if you don't talk to me" Octavia pried.
"I thought maybe Finn cheated on Raven with me, maybe he felt I was better for him, then you said Bellamy had a thing for me but he chose Raven over me and fucking disappeared, by now he's had Raven too, the one night I needed a distraction, I'm just assuming Raven is the better choice, obviously they both chose her over me." Clarke sobbed leaning into Octavia. Movement caught Octavia's attention. Bellamy was headed towards them until he saw the look he received from his sister. Stopping in his tracks he turned and headed for his room.
"In his defense, he's an idiot" Octavia said causing Clarke to laugh. She heard his door click shut and snapped up wiping away her tears.
"Bell is here?" she said.
"Must be" Octavia nodded.
Clarke stood walking down the hall and knocked lightly on his door.
He pulled it open shocked to see her standing there. He watched her curiously look around him.
"She's not here, I walked her home, Shortly after shots she threw up, all over the sidewalk and me, I just got cleaned up, I was getting ready to head back to Arkadia to get you two"
"Is that so? I believe you owed me a dance" she smiled at him.
"Well let's find some music then" he replied grabbing his i pod, he plugged it into his radio letting a slow song drift quietly through the speakers as he pulled her into his arms.
Octavia leaned against the door jamb watching them momentarily. Her eyes connected with Bellamy's
'Nice save' she mouthed to him, he winked back in response. She shook her head walking across the hall to her room.
Clarke opened her eyes, happy that wherever she was the blinds were pulled closed. She rolled over pushing her face into the pillow. 'This pillow smells just like Bellamy' She shot up as the thought crossed her mind, relief washing over her when she saw she was alone. That was all she needed, something like that she would want to remember. She was in his bed fully dressed in the same clothes she wore out to the bar. She stretched and looked at the clock, it was only 7 am. The house was quiet as she walked to the kitchen and started coffee. She could hear Bellamy's soft snoring from the couch. She remembered dancing with him in his room, she could feel her cheeks heating up at the thought.
"Nice Clarke, let's get drunk and convince people to dance with you, then steal there bed" she muttered to herself watching the coffee fill the pot.
"Actually I offered the bed so that's not on you princess" She jumped hearing his voice behind her.
"Damn Bell, make some noise or something, you could scare someone to death"she said turning to look at him.
"You know what could scare someone, that hair style" he smirked.
"Dickhead!" she said using the reflection in the microwave to put it up in a ponytail.
"Hey, I gave you my bed, you were practically falling asleep in my arms, it was easy to persuade you, you said something about laying in the bed of a gorgeous man" She froze racking her brain, she surely did not recall that. She turned to face him and he bust out laughing.
"Just kidding, you didn't say a damn thing, I think you were asleep standing up before I assisted you to get under the covers" She just shook her head giving him an amused look. His eyes still danced with laughter.
"You could've at least took my pants off, sleeping in jeans is crappy" The second it left her mouth she regretted it, she apparently forgot that it was not Octavia in the kitchen this morning.
"Yea the couch would have done me wonders knowing you were half naked in my bed" he muttered heading for his room.
"What was that?" she asked, the smile evident in her voice.
"Nothing" he added before she heard his bed squeak.
She heard him mumble something, then heard him on the phone.
"Hello?
...
Finn, it's 7 am and I told you to stay away from her
...
I'll answer her phone if I want, it was in my fucking bed
...
She obviously left it here
...
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that, Fuck you."
Just as he tossed the phone on the dresser he noticed Clarke in the doorway.
"I'll take that" she smiled sliding it to the edge and into her hand.
"Clarke, I heard you last night, I'd never choose Raven over you, on any level, just so we are clear. " he stated. Clarke didn't know what to say.
"Where's your other half today?" She asked destroying the moment as fast as it arrived, better to not travel that road, she wasn't ready for that.
"She's not my other half, just friends with benefits, shes on vacation, for awhile" he replied before pulling a pillow over his head. He could hear Octavia's door close, signalling Clarke left to get dressed. He let out a sigh, removing the pillow from his head. Staring at the ceiling, not sure what to make of this whole situation.
