Thanks for all the reviews and follows :)
Sorry I am a day late on this, my internet has been playing up
Read on :)
Bellamy slowly opens his eyes emerging from another drug induced sleep. It takes him a few moments to remember where he is, that's right the hospital. He has no idea how long he has been there nor does he know what time it is anymore. It takes him awhile to get his bearing before he starts looking around the room; it is a basic hospital room how he managed to get a single room he will never know. There are a couple of visitors' chairs by the window which Octavia he assumed has moved into some form of bed, she must have been sleeping here so he must have been here longer than one night.
He moves to sit up and winces in pain, Octavia just happens to walk around the corner at that moment she rushes over to his side
"Hey big brother" she brushes his hair out of his eyes "how you feeling?"
"Sore" he moved uncomfortably in his bed "How long have I been here O?"
"About a week and a half"
"Shit" he mutters trying to sit up again
"Hey, hey there speedy, you can't sit up yet" Octavia pushes him gently on the shoulders until he is lying down again. He settles in the uncomfortable hospital bed and he can hear Octavia dragging chairs around the room
"So what's the damage O?" He turns his head to face her, she glances to the door before looking back at him
"Broken ribs pictured some organs so you had internal bleeding. They did surgery on you and they said with rest you should be fine"
He nods and closes his eyes briefly, the medication making him drowsy.
Octavia puts a hand on him and shakes him gently "Don't go to sleep yet big brother, I have a present for you"
He peeks his eyes open looking at her, she is looking at the door and waving, he turns to look at the door and a lazy smile breaks over his face
"Hey Princess"
—B&C—
Clarke froze at Octavia words
Bellamy is in the hospital? He is hurt? He didn't forget about me?
"is he ok?" she asks Octavia in a small voice – ech how pathetic did that sound
"He is getting there; he is never awake for long he is on lots of pain meds"
Clarkes heart drops to her stomach, she doesn't know when Bellamy became so important in her life but all she knew was that he was hurt and she wanted to see him.
"Octavia, is he allowed visitors" she asks
A small smile breaks out on her face "I was just going to take Toni home and then go over, did you want to come with me?"
Clarke gestures to her clothing "I'm working"
"I'll cover you" Monty jumps in immediately
"Monty!" Clarke snaps at him, she turns to Octavia "Will you excuse us" She grabs Montys arm and drags him into the staff room
"What are you doing?" she hisses at him
"Clarke" he looks at her with honest eyes "you are worried about him, go visit him. I will cover you until you can get back"
She looks down to her feet frozen to the spot, he was not wrong she was worried about Bellamy, she had been worried for a week now. She was going to visit him. She looked back to Monty and he was standing in front of her with her bag and jacket, she laughed "am I that predictable?"
She grabs her stuff from Monty and they head out to Octavia.
"Let's go then" Clarke says while putting on her jacket
Octavia beams at her before turning towards the door
"Thanks Monty" Clarke says to him quietly before meeting Octavia outside.
They head to the hospital separately as Octavia has to drop Toni home. She meets up with Octavia outside the front entrance to the hospital. She follows Octavia through the halls before Octavia announces they are nearly at Bellamys room.
Clarke grabs Octavias arm "I don't know if I should go in there"
"Just wait here and I will call you in"
Clarke backs herself into the wall next to Bellamys room and listens to the siblings talk. There is something comforting listening to Bellamy and Octavias clear adoration for each other, she hears Octavia say she has a present for him, Clarke sticks her head around the corner and sees Octavia waving her into the room.
She steps into the doorway just as she sees Bellamy turn his head a small smile forms across his face as he meets her eyes.
"Hey Princess"
Her heart plummets into her stomach. He looks so weak the normally strong and proud man, she automatically walks over to his bed and grabs his hand "How are you feeling?"
His eyes are running all over her face before he recognises she has spoken "Tired" He replies
"I'm going to get some coffee" Octavia announces "Does anybody want anything?"
The both shake their heads and Octavia exits the room, Clarke lets go of his hand and walk to the other side of his bed sitting down in the chair Octavia had just vacated
His eyes are still following her like he can't believe she is there
She looks him over taking in his dulled and bruised and cut appearance, she gently runs her finger over his arm "what happened?"
He is watching her hand at this point
"Bellamy?"
His eyes are blinking closed. Against her better judgement she brushes her hand through his hair he turns his head towards her hand and opens his eyes
"Hey" She smiles at him "What happened"
"Miller and I got called to a domestic, while we were defusing the situation the guy turned on me, I was able to hold him off while Miller got the victim out of the residence but before I could restrain him, he got the advantage on me he tacked me onto the ground before he started the kicking. I passed out at some point. And now I am here"
Clarke was shocked, he was remarkably clinical about it all "Bellamy, are you a police officer?" she asked seeking clarification
He closed his eyes at this "I don't want to be defined by my occupation"
"I know" she stroked his hair "I was just trying to piece it all together"
He nodded his head, his eyes growing heavy again "Hey Princess"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for visiting me" His eyes were closed now and his breathing was starting to even out.
She pulled her hand away from his head and she went to stand up. His hand grabbed her left hand from where it lay on the bed
"Please stay"
She sat back down and started brushing her fingers through his hair again; she did not know how long she had wanted to brush her fingers through his unruly curls. His breathing evened out and she sat watching him sleep. She was not sure where this was going, she cared for him, they are friends for sure but whether it would go anywhere? She did not know. She laid her head down next to their joint hands and watched him sleep. She could analyse this all another day right now she was just going to enjoy this moment.
That is how Octavia found them hands held both asleep. She pulled out her phone and texted Monty whose number she had go earlier, put the blanket she had left on the other chair over Clarke before she left the room closing the door behind her. She didn't know who the girl was but clearly she and her brother cared for each other and she could not be happier.
