When she walked in to the bedroom he was sound asleep, he actually looked peaceful and relaxed. Not like he´d been the night before when he´d been haunted by nightmares. She hated to wake him, but the sooner she closed that wound the better.

She walked up to the bed and sat down, and then she just looked at him for a few minutes. When she saw how calm and innocent he looked she just wanted to wrap him up and protect him from all of those who wanted to harm him. She´s glad he´s asleep so he wouldn´t see the blush she felt creeping up her face. She pulled away a lock of his black hair from his eyes, it´s so soft and she twirled it around her finger a few laps before she put it behind his ear.

Even though it was nice just sitting there, she had to wake him up so she gently shook his shoulders while she told him to wake up.

"Bellamy, you need to wake up. I have to stitch you up." She spoke softly but he only grunted in response clearly not interested in getting up right now.

"Bellamy I´m sorry I have to wake you up but I need to fix this now." finally he opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Why princess, are you worried about me?" he said with that cocky grin on his face.

Why did he have to argue with her? Couldn´t he just do what she told him to? She sighed but let it go, she was just to tired to fight him right now. These last few days had been crazy and she´d barely gotten any sleep. She just wanted to get this over so she could get some sleep, so they all could get some sleep. So she just let his comment pass and continued.

"Bellamy yes I´m worried about you so please just let me fix this." She said pointing to his stomach. When she looked up at his face she saw he was caught off guard, he hadn´t been expecting that answer.

He tried to sit up but she just waved at him to stop.

"Don´t sit up, it´ll be harder to stitch you up that way. Just lie down on the pillow and try to be still." She looked at him to see if he understood, he nodded and did as she´d told.

"Octavia can you come here with my bag?" she called out to the girl in the kitchen.

She came in a few seconds later with the bag in one hand and a glass of water in the other.

"I thought you might want something to drink before you start" she held out the glass to Clarke who gratefully accepted it and took two big sips before she took the bag out of Octavia´s other hand.

"Thanks" she put the glass away on the night stand, and took out some painkillers and handed them to Bellamy.

"Here take this. It probably won't help that much, but it´ll make it a little better."

He took it and swallowed it, Clarke passed him water as well but he just waved it away.

He didn´t need water for something like this. Besides he didn´t think his stomach could hold the water either since it was almost empty, he hadn´t eaten much in the last 24 hours. He watched as Clarke took out a needle and some thread. He´d been stitched up a few times before, although it hadn´t been this deep and he´d done it himself. So he knew it would sting a little, but nothing he couldn´t handle. He kept telling himself that to make him relax a bit, he didn´t like showing others when he was weak. He was the one people feared and respected out on the streets, he wasn´t the one who cried because of a little pain. Yesterday had been an exception when he´d broken down in front of Clarke. He hadn´t meant to tell her everything especially not let her see him cry. Nobody saw him cry. And even Octavia had only seen it on a few rare occasions, when his nightmares had been to much. And it was a long time that happened to. But yesterday all events of the past few days had just come crashing down on him, breaking all of the walls he´d set up. And Clarke had been there allowing him to let it all out, no judgment, so he had.

But now he was going to be strong once again, he could handle a needle. It was nothing compared to some things he´d been through.

So when Clarke looked at him, silently asking for permission to start, he nodded and she moved the sharp edge to his flesh.

She started stitching, she tried to be as careful as she could but the cut was deep so it was difficult. She saw that he was acting like this was nothing, but a few times she saw pain flicker in his eyes. It was barely noticeable but it was there, although he concealed it fast.

It needed fifteen stitches in total, but now it was finally done. She let out a sigh of relief that it looked like it would hold, for now.

"There now I´m done" she said with a small smile on her face, she looked down to Bellamy who looked relived as well that it was finally over. She saw a tear stream down Octavia before she carefully gave her brother a big hug. When she was done she looked at Clarke

"Thank you so much" then she also gave Clarke a big hug. She was caught a little of guard, she usually didn´t hug people that much, but she returned the hug anyway.

"No problem" she said before they broke loose from the hug.

"I´m going to go get some sleep" Octavia said and left the room to go sleep on the surprisingly comfortable couch.

"Good night O" Bellamy replied to her before she´d closed the bedroom door.

"Well I guess I´m going to go wash off and get some sleep as well" Clarke said with a tired voice, which was not surprising considering the small amount of sleep she´d gotten the past few days. She felt like she could sleep for a week and people would still be having a hard time waking her up.

She had almost reached the door when Bellamy spoke up.

"Where are you going to sleep princess?" his voice was a mixture of concern and amusement, most amusement though.

"I´ll just sleep on the floor out in the kitchen with a blanket or something" she said not even bothering to mention the whole ´princess´ thing, she was kind of used to it now if she was being honest.

"Why don´t you sleep here" he said pointing to the bed "I promise I won´t bite" he said in a playful voice. But when she looked at his face she saw that he was serious, not a trace of him joking.

"I don´t think so-" she began but he cut her off.

"Come on Clarke, I mean it´s more than fair, it´s your place and besides you look ready to pass out any second from exhaustion, please I promise I won´t do anything if that´s what you´re afraid of." He was looking concerned now, for her sake? She didn´t know what to think of that but it was nice someone caring for her for once. That made her think of her ex-boyfriend whom she broke up with about three months ago when she found out he´d been cheating on her. Or well she´d been the one he´d cheated with. They hadn´t been together long only a month when she found out about his girlfriend. And when she confronted him he said they´d had a long distance relationship but now she was back and he´d chosen her. She´d been upset for sure about the betrayal but she was completely over it now.

And it was nice that someone showed concern about her again, and Bellamy had a point; she was tired.

So she walked back to the other side of the bed, not having the energy to wash up anymore. But before she laid down she wanted to be clear

"your side my side" she said pointing to the different sides of the bed, but her voice didn´t hold that much power because when she made contact with the pillow she was almost already asleep but she could still hear Bellamy before she dosed off.

"Whatever you say princess" she didn´t look at him, her eyes were closed but she could still picture the smirk he wore on his face while he said it. And she also fell asleep with a little smile on her face.
