*Bellamy's POV*:
It has been three days. Three days since Clarke's awoke from her slumber, and once again Bellamy was going to go visit her.
He'd stayed by her side the whole time, and whilst she was asleep, he found himself tracing circles around her hand with his thumb. She looked so peaceful.He'd always seen how attractive she was. The first time he met her, he pictured her as another one of his conquests, until they had a conversation, and it turned into a war. He realised that Clarke Griffin would never be just a one night stand. Although he was attracted to her, he valued their friendship more, even if sometimes it appeared as though they hated each other.
Seeing her asleep and still made him see her with different eyes. Everything about her seemed unique, instead of her chest going in and out normally; it seemed graceful, beautiful even. Her skin seemed to glow, and instead of the cuts and bruises seeming sad, it made her look brave, like war wounds.
He found himself bringing his head towards her hand, and just breathing in her scent of vanilla, and softly brushing his lips over her finger buds. He slept in her bedside chair, and he woke up abruptly when he heard movement. He thought she was waking up, but she was just adjusting slightly, still out of it. He was so sure she was waking up, so sure she was coming back to him.
He once again thought of her shoe that led to him saving her. My Cinderella. He thought, maybe she can be my Snow White? He leant over, and so softly brushed his lips against hers, begging her to wake up. The next time he woke up, it was because she woke him.
After he told her everything, and her mom filled her in on all the medical know how she forced him to go home for a bit, with the promise that he could visit after. He was expecting her to be more shook up but she seemed to be in shock, or maybe denial? But he vowed to do anything to help her.
He walked into her room, and saw Octavia in there finishing up a new detailed braid in Clarke's hair. "See, I bet you feel more like yourself now, don't you?"O happily asked, only to be disappointed when Clarke lovingly replied "Actually, I feel more like you", but the blonde winked at her and said thank you.
Bellamy cleared his throat in acknowledgement, and chucked down a massive bar of chocolate onto Clarke's bed. "Now this, this makes me feel more like myself" she chuckled. They understood each other, so she smiled at him, and he nodded his head back". Bellamy secretly liked the fact that they didn't need to speak to understand what each other was thinking. Well mostly, he would die before his princess understood his true feelings for her that he could no longer deny.
Octavia gave Clarke one last hug, and went through who was planning on visiting her next, and left to go meet Lincoln, after jumping up to ruffle Bellamy's hair.
Bellamy walked over to "his" chair and smiled at Clarke. "So, how's it going?" the way he said it meant, he didn't want the bullshit," let's protect all my friends, when I'm the one going through emotional trauma" answer, he wanted the real answer. He was the only one she actually felt comfortable being honest with, he wasn't fragile enough to break if she told him the truth.
"Bell, I'm freaking out. After mom told me I had amnesia, I was sort of relieved. I mean, I didn't want to remember it. It was hard enough hearing about it, but I've been talking to different therapists and memory specialists since I woke up, and some of it is starting to come back. No one else knows. Not even my mom. I just remember parts. I remember the alleyway, and I remember the panic I felt. Bell I-" her voice had started to crack, showing her pain, and she hesitated before carrying on. "I remember his hands, his fingers stroking my face" she managed to get out before she started choking on her sobs.
Bellamy lept up, and crawled into the nonexistent space on her bed, and pulled her onto his chest. "Clarke, princess, it's ok, it's ok, he's been arrested, I will never let that bastard touch you again, him or anyone else. I've got you princess, I'm never letting you get hurt again, I promise. " he soothed her.
She stopped crying and started to apologise, before she stopped. "Princess?" she questioned the new nickname with a curious look.
*Clarke's POV*:
She felt so embarrassed for breaking down. No one else had to deal with that, but instead she started passing her burdens onto other people. But then, something Bellamy had said made her curious so she asked him about "princess".
She wasn't sure if she was seeing things, but he started to blush. And he avoided her gaze. And he started to fidget. Something was definitely up. She stared at him, half curious, but half amused also.
He cleared his voice, and quietly started explaining about how she was "Cinderella", and started to scratch the back of his neck, which is something he often did when he was embarrassed. She thought it was lovely. He started to explain something else, but he stopped himself right before, and just awkwardly smiled at her.
"What aren't you telling me?" she probed him, smiling at how cute he looked when he was embarrassed, something she didn't see often. He slid off of the bed and started pacing. Wow. Whatever happened must have made him really embarrassed. "Bell-" she started, until he interrupted her saying "I kissed you".
After that, there was silence.
I'm sorry it's quite short, I've been in hospital myself and I'm exhausted! I hope I'm portraying this ok, but if I'm not, then just let me know! Also I've been meaning to say, I'm trying to keep to quite Americanish but I live in the UK so I obviously will make slip ups and write mum instead of mom or mobile instead of cell etc, so yeah sorry for that!
For the guest reviewer zara I am indeed carrying this on. Even if everyone but one person decided they hate it and want me to stop, I will carry on for that last person.
However saying that, it would give me less motivation to continue, as you're reviews make me want to do better and be better faster! SO keep them coming please! Any reviews big or small complimentary or constructive welcome! Thanks for anyone who has reviewed/ will review because you make my day! Also for those of you who have followed or favourited! Let me know how quickly you want the bellarke to come and how many of the regulars (and who) you want to see. I'm definitely going to include some Reyes and Wick because I love them so much, it makes my heart hurt.
BUT YEAH THANKS! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! MWAH!
