Author's Note: So I struggled with writing this chapter. I tried really hard to find the right balance between the two POVs while making sure I do my 2 favorite characters justice. I did get some great advice from BrookyV which I definitely am thankful for and found very helpful. Please make sure to check out her Bellarke story too! I always appreciate all the follows, favs and comments that I've been getting the last few days from everyone! I always try to respond to comments too! And I was going to put off posting this till Wednesday afternoon but I decided to just get it out there because I know that I always hate waiting for new content!

He couldn't believe it. Spacewalker just told Clarke that he loved her. The same girl whose heart he broke just days ago when he conveniently forgot to mention his GIRLFRIEND that he still had back on the Ark.

Bellamy had felt guilty about the way he treated her a few minutes ago and wanted to explain in private. They needed to present themselves in a certain way to the rest of the Hundred. People looked to them as leaders and neither could afford to look weak right now. Not with everyone scared about the Grounders attacking.

After their big showdown, he finally managed to get the onlookers back on task. There was still a lot of leftover storm damage to clean up and the fence to patch up. He tried to be quick about it so he could catch up to her before she had a chance to get too upset with him.

Had he known what that little weasel Finn was up to, he would have blown everyone off.

He couldn't understand why Clarke had even gone for the Spacewalker. This guy was no good for her. He was a follower, just like the rest of them. Clarke was the Brave Princess. If Bellamy had pulled something like that, Clarke would've call him an asshole or decked him. Yet, with Finn, she just stood silent, looking at him like she'd been knocked sideways.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" The words flew out of his mouth before he could stop them.


(CLARKE)

She didn't understand Bellamy at all. One minute he was kind and understanding and the next he was angry and bossy. What she really didn't understand why he was so upset with Finn though, especially as he made it clear that their moment yesterday didn't mean anything to him.

Either way, she could clearly tell he was pissed by the death stare he was giving Finn. It used to be that she was the recipient of that particular look. Huh. How times have changed based on a single day.

Finn sat up slightly and gave Bellamy a confused look. "What the hell is your problem? This is none of your business."

"Don't you already have someone waiting in the wings Spacewalker? Leave Clarke alone."

"This is between me and her. Don't you have someone to go order around or beat the crap out of?"

Bellamy ignored him and walked over to her instead. He kept coming at her slowly so she started to back her up. Only when she finally bumped against the wall of the drop ship did he stop, as if that had been his intent all along. He placed his hands on either side of her head, palms against the wall, effectively trapping her. He bent his head down close to hers and she felt his breath across her face. Her heart start racing at his nearness and vaguely she heard Finn's exclamation in the background.

She felt confused when he was this close. Here, stuck in this room with these two males that seemed to have become so important in her life, it reminded her of her dream. Of having to chose one and hesitating on something she would have thought she was so sure of.

He didn't say anything for a moment, just stared into her eyes. She thought she saw his glaze dip lower to her lips but he didn't move towards them. She wasn't the only one that seemed to be hesitating.

There was a part of her rooting for him to kiss her; that wanted to see what all the other girls seemed to be enjoying. However, she wouldn't make the first move. Not after the way he treated her this morning. Yet, despite the fact that he wasn't even touching her, she felt...overwhelmed by him.

Finally he spoke, but the words weren't what she had been expecting.

"Princess, get your shit together. We're leaving in 10."

"Wh...what?"


(BELLAMY)

He smirked at her reaction, loving the look of shock of her face. He knew that he had her attention now instead of the Spacewalker. Bellamy wasn't too proud to admit that it did his ego some good. He had started this to show Finn that Clarke was moving on from him but there was a part of him that wanted Clarke to realize it too.

He didn't know where this new fascination with her came from but it was there all the same. Maybe it was that first day when she stood up to him. Or when he called her a Brave Princess. It could've been when she was able to do what he couldn't and help Atom.

Either way, Clarke had found a way under his skin and he wanted...no...needed, to find out what they could have together.

He knew what he had to do the moment he overheard Finn's declaration of love. He had to get Clarke alone, away from Spacewalker and the camp. And thankfully, he had just the thing to do it.

"What's the matter Princess? I thought you wanted to go get those supplies?"

"I do but I didn't you realize you meant to send us." she moved her finger to him and then herself.

He shrugged, trying to play it cool. "We make a good team. You know how to find the location and I'll have your back."

There was a strangled sound in the background coming from Finn's direction but he ignored it. It didn't matter what that boy thought. It only mattered if Clarke trusted him to watch her back.

She looked into his eyes, searching for what, he didn't know. Whatever it was, she must have found it because she gave a small nod.

"Am I interrupting something Bells?"

Shit.


(CLARKE)

She froze at the sound of Octavia's voice. She knew how this looked to Finn as she had a feeling it was Bellamy's reason behind his out of character behavior. She could only imagine how this looked to Bellamy's sister though.

After what seemed like an eternity, Bellamy finally pulled back from her and turned towards his sister, whom was standing at the bottom of the ladder. She must have just come from visiting the Grounder...or at least trying to visit since Bellamy wouldn't let her.

"Actually yes, you are. But Clarke and I can finish this later." he gave Finn a look when he said this, like he was trying to tell him something with those words. Something that Clarke wasn't grasping but Octavia did given her wide-eyed look bouncing back and forth.

He left with Octavia just then, the two of them arguing about the Grounder and what was going to happen to him. Apparently, they had patched their relationship up enough to talk to one another again.

Clarke turned her eyes to Finn and saw that his jaw was clenched as were his fists. She had no words for him nor could she even attempt to explain what just happened, not when she wasn't even sure herself.

It was almost as if Bellamy was...jealous. Of Finn.

She seriously needed her head checked if she thought that Bellamy was implying anything of the sort, specifically in regards to her. One moment in the woods did not a love affair make.

Shaking her head, she left to go find Raven upstairs. She made no mention of her conversation with Finn, merely told her that she would be gone for a few days and to keep an eye out for infection. She escaped the ship before either Raven got suspicious or Finn could make any more heartfelt admissions.

She was almost to her tent when Octavia stepped into her path. She had a strange expression on her face, one that Clarke couldn't decipher and probably didn't want to if she was honest with herself.

"So Clarke, what exactly is going on between you and my brother?"


So like I said...I really struggled with this chapter but I hope I pulled it off to my reader's satisfaction. I wanted to convey the confusion that Clarke was feeling about moving onto Bellamy from Finn. And that Bellamy wanted more from her but he's struggling between being the leader needed vs getting what he wants. They are both walking such a fine line. Anyways, I would love it if you would leave me a comment and tell me how I did. And if you felt that Bellamy didn't show enough jealousy this chapter...don't worry. I have a few tricks up my sleeve for later! :D
