Bellamy stood at the base of the stairs to his porch. He needed to think of what he would say to Clarke. He'd seen the look on her face when he shot his mouth off earlier. He hadn't meant to say the things to her that he did. Taking a deep breath, he walked up the stairs, as he reached the top stair Octavia came out of the house. Bellamy looked at her oddly "I thought you went home" he said "I noticed the rover was gone when I got here." Bellamy dropped his head back, a sinking feeling in his gut "Is Clarke here?" he asked. Octavia shook her head "I was looking for her because I wanted to see my…"she trailed off watching his face. "What did you do?" she asked him. Bellamy sat down on the step and dropped his head into his hands. "I shot off my mouth" he sighed "said something I should've kept to myself or said to the person I wanted to say it to." he sighed. "and who was that?" she asked sitting beside him. He looked at her pointedly. "uh-oh" she whispered. "Yeah" he drawled.
Clarke sat in her room at Mount Weather, Rory sleeping in her crib. Abby poked her head in "Jackson said you were here. Is Raven or Bellamy with you?" she asked. Clarke shook her head, but said nothing. Abby looked at Clarke, something was wrong, she didn't know what and apparently Clarke wasn't saying anything. "Okay, well when you want to talk , you know where to find me" she said "and when my granddaughter wakes up, I want to her hold her." Clarke nodded silently. Abby sighed and leaned against the closed door. "Are the kids here?" Kane asked. "Just one and a half of them" Abby answered indicating for him to walk with her. Kane eyed her curiously. Clarke is here with Rory, and whatever is wrong, she isn't talking about it" Abby sighed. "Do you think Bellamy knows she's here?" he asked. Abby shrugged "I don't know, but I need to get word to him, and there is no radio on the hill where they are. We'll have to send someone to let him know" she said. Kane nodded "I'll send one of the scouts" he said. "Don't worry Abby, whatever is going on, they'll be fine" he assured her. "We also need to get them wired, so they have communications and electricity.
Abby nodded "I know" she said "but my daughter can be very hard-headed when she chooses to be" Abby sighed. Kane chuckled "nearly as hard-headed as her husband" he reminded her. "There is that" Abby laughed. "She could be here awhile" Abby snorted. "Just think of all that time you will get with your granddaughter" Kane pointed out. "Good point" Abby smiled "I think I can live with that." Kane broke off to send a scout to the camp to let Bellamy know where Clarke was, while Abby headed in the direction of her suite. She was really happy to see her daughter and granddaughter, but she hoped everything was okay with Clarke and Bellamy.
It was long after dark when two rovers drove into camp. Bellamy stood up waiting for the door to open. When it did, he could tell the driver wasn't Clarke. Bellamy recognized him as one of the scouts from Mount Weather. "Bellamy Blake?" the guy stopped at the bottom of the step. He nodded "I have a letter from Chancellor Kane for you" he said handing it to him. Bellamy thanked him. "The chancellor also said to let you know we will be setting up communications and electricity for your camp. "Tell him thanks" Bellamy replied and "thank you for the note." The scout nodded "The chancellor indicated you might want your rover back, as well. Bellamy nodded "I have an extra room in my house if you would like to use it" he offered. "Thank you kindly, but I have brought a tent to camp out in" he answered.
Bellamy opened the letter and read it. He silently thanked Kane and Abby for letting him know Clarke and Rory had arrived safely at Mount Weather. He figured that was where she would go. He knew the smart thing to do was to take the rover and follow her there, right now, tonight, but he just couldn't. He hated it when Clarke just took off without even trying to fix the problem. Still holding the letter he heaved a big sigh. The sound of laughter erupted from behind him. His house, their house was full of women; Just as he and Clarke has discussed, except the one woman he actually wanted there. Octavia sat down beside him and handed him a bowl of something hot "Eat" she commanded.
Taking the bowl from her hand, he sipped at the soup. "So, she's at Mount Weather?" Octavia asked. Bellamy nodded "Are you going to go after her?" she asked. He shook his head "not right now" he spoke softly. "Why?" she asked. "I hate that she just runs away" he sighed "like we're not important enough to fight for." Octavia knew that Clarke loved Bellamy and the Bellamy loved Clarke, but they both had their faults. "What did you say to her?" she asked. "I told her that I didn't like her leaving on her own, and that she needed to stay in camp and take care of Raven and Rory" he sighed. "You actually said that?" Octavia scoffed "and you thought that was okay?" she asked. "I know it was stupid" he sighed "but I couldn't help myself, and then the words were out and she was gone."
Octavia grinned "what is so funny?" he asked. "The two of you are the most stubborn, hard-headed people I know" she told him. "Have you looked in the mirror lately?" he gazed at her. "She can't just run because she gets angry" he defended. "And you need to think before you speak" she countered. He was silent now. "Look Bell" she took his hand "maybe she just needs to spend some time with Abby. You're always saying Abby sometimes knows what's best for Clarke, right?" she asked. "I suppose" he agreed. "in the meantime, you can take your frustration out on some wood right, build some cabins, maybe even mine?" she asked. Bellamy shot her a look "Is that really what you want?" he asked. "To live in a cabin with a guy who may or may not marry you someday?" he asked. Octavia shrugged "I don't know, but it beats being alone" she answered "and he's a good guy Bell, even if you don't think so" she told him. "Nobody will ever be good enough for my baby sister" he growled. "Trust me we all know that…" Octavia rolled her eyes "but one day, some guy is going to prove you wrong. Maybe it's Harlo, Maybe someone else. In the meantime, you need to let me make my own choices" she told him. "And if there are consequences "There always are" she sighed "and if one consequence is having a baby too early or with the wrong guy, then you can be overly protective and overbearing to my children." Bellamy grinned "Can I get that in writing?" he chuckled. "no" Octavia denied "you just going to have to take my word."
"Bell?" she asked looking into his eyes "you are going to go after Clarke some day right?" she asked. He nodded "Of course I am , just now today, or tomorrow or the next day…" he answered. "Like I said stubborn and hard-headed" she sighed. "Takes one to know one" he retorted.
