Bellamy shut the door loudly behind him to alert everyone of his presence in case Octavia and Jasper had taken advantage of their alone time.
"Bell!" Octavia appeared in the hallway with a smile on her face and a bin bag in her grip.
"Where's Jas?" He asked, ruffling her hair on his way past. His sister grunted at his affections.
"He went home, but he helped me clear up most of the stuff, we've just got to check upstairs to see if there's anything - are you okay?" She broke off when she followed him into the living room and saw the look on his face. Bellamy was aware that his eyebrows were knitted together and his lips were in a small frown but he didn't have the energy to try and rearrange them.
"Yeah, I'm fine, O," He sighed, running his hand restlessly through his hair.
"Is it Clarke?" Octavia put her hand on his arm gently and looked up at him with large blue eyes. "She likes you, she told me. You like her right? Because I told you, I don't want you playing my best friend,"
"Ugh," Bellamy pushed her hand away. "I'm not playing her," Though she thought he would, and though Bellamy didn't care to admit it, that hurt. He wasn't exactly proud of his reputation as the biggest man whore at school, as a boy who can't hold down a relationship because he's ruled by his dick, by the need to screw any girl in the vicinity. He supposed a lot of boys his age tried desperately to attain that image, but to Bellamy, it had come naturally and unwanted.
He liked the attention he got from girls, sure, but what was wrong with that? It didn't mean he didn't have feelings. It was true that he had hid behind the reputation before, revelled in it for a while even, but it had become tedious and damn annoying now that he actually wanted a relationship. It hurt him that Clarke didn't trust him, but he didn't blame her, and that hurt more.
It didn't seem like a problem at the time, the girls wanted a rumble, so did he and that was that. He didn't realise it would come back to bite him in the ass one day. His own sister thought him a slut and he knew for a fact that she was no innocent.
"Bell, I just don't want her to get hurt," Octavia piped up and Bellamy span round to face her, anger in his eyes.
"Right, and that's all I do isn't it? Hurt people," He spat and he could see the surprise in his sister's face.
"Bellamy," She exhaled and bit her lip.
"Piss off, O; this has nothing to do with you!" Bellamy stalked out the door.
"Bellamy Blake! Don't you dare talk to me like that," She caught his arm in her grip and the siblings faced each other with stony glares. "I get it, you're upset, because of what I said, or because of something, I don't know! But it doesn't mean you can take it out on me, okay? You're being a moody little shit!" She pushed his chest and Bellamy threw his hands in the air.
"So I'm not allowed to be upset, O? Is that how it is?"He retorted and Octavia rubbed her temples.
"No, I'm sorry. I just, I hate it when you're like this, you shut me out Bell. I could help you," She looked up at him nervously and he groaned.
"Screw you, you always get what you want, don't you?" He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in for a tight embrace. She laughed against his chest.
"It's cause I'm cute," She paused, "Will you take the bin out?" Bellamy rolled his eyes.
"You're awful,"
His phone buzzed in his pocket and he yanked it out.
"Clarke?" Octavia asked curiously but Bellamy shook his head.
"Finn," He shooed her with a wave of his hand and picked up the phone with a wary 'Hello'.
"Hey man," Finn's voice came from the other end of the line, thick with sleep and a hangover, he had probably only just woken up. Lazy sod, Bellamy thought. "I wanted to er, apologise for last night. I can't really remember all of it, but I know you were pissed," Bellamy could practically hear the frown in his tone.
"It's fine, Finn," Bellamy replied curtly. "Though perhaps you should apologise to Clarke, not me,"
"Clarke, right, yeah. Are you seeing her then? I'm sorry if you are, I didn't realise she was yours," Bellamy could have laughed.
"Sort of, but you probably shouldn't tell her that, she's an angry one. I don't think she'd take well to being someone's possession,"
"Well you can bring her to mine if you like, you are still coming right? For my Halloween thing?" It was October 26th, the day before Octavia's birthday and the week of Halloween. Finn was hosting a big party which Bellamy thought was sure to be interesting.
"Yeah," He smiled, "I'll come," Octavia was mouthing something and gesturing to herself. Bellamy rolled his eyes. "Octavia wants to come, is that alright?"
"Sure, the more the merrier, tell her to bring goggle guy and his friend, you know, the Asian one."
"Jasper and Monty,"
"That's right; Christ my head is killing me. Great party you Blakes host though,"
"Glad you enjoyed it," Bellamy said dryly. "I'll see you soon, Finn," He hung up the phone with a wry shake of his head. Finn was an idiot. An unfaithful idiot who got too drunk all the time. But he was his best friend.
