She was running! She ran as fast as she could but he was catching up to her. She had no idea how he'd found her but he had. And now he had almost caught her again. But even if he caught her she wouldn't tell him anything about Bellamy or Octavia! Because they had become so precious to her and she would never let Murphy hurt them.

Now he wasn't far behind, she could hear his ragged breaths as he shortened the distance between them. She had to speed up, but her legs were starting to go numb. She had been running for so long and she just wanted to stop for a second.

Just as she was about to give in to the exhaustion she heard a voice shout behind her. A voice she'd recognize anywhere and she froze in her steps as dread flushed trough her body.

Bellamy!

It was Bellamy who had called out to Murphy. Who'd also stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the person she wanted to protect with her life, and the life Murphy wanted to end.

"It's me you want right?" Bellamy was directing his question to Murphy who was now smiling at the sight of Bellamy. Her stomach clenched and she wanted to smack him for being so stupid! How could he show himself?! He knew that he would get killed!

"So stop chasing her! She has nothing to do with this" he gave her one last look before he spoke again

"Chase me instead" and then he ran! In the opposite direction of her to lure Murphy away from her. He was choosing her life over his and she started to scream!

How could he do this?! Couldn't he see that she needed him alive?! She couldn't handle seeing the man she just now realized she was beginning to love. That freaked her out a bit, but it was nothing compared to the pain she felt at the thought of never seeing Bellamy again. He didn't even have a clue that she was feeling this way about him, and now he wouldn't know. She'd missed her chance! With that realization she fell to her knees, the screams coming louder and tears pouring down her face.

She sat up with a shriek, the screams stuck in her trout. She was breathing heavily and looked around. She was in her room, in her bed and that had only been the worts nightmare she'd ever had! But when she saw that the other side of the bed was empty her heart beat quickened again. Because something was missing:

Bellamy!

She felt the panic come back and she rushed out of bed and in to the kitchen.

She felt such relief at the sight in front of her that she had to grab the wall to not lose her balance.

Bellamy was standing there, taking out breakfast. When he hears her come in he turned to look at her. He studied her and a frown crept up his face .

It was only then that she realized what a mess she must look like. But she also realized another thing. Something that awful dream had made her realize: she was falling for Bellamy. She felt the blush warm her cheeks.

"Good morning" he sounded concerned as he spoke, no doubt that the concern had something to do with how she'd barged in here.

"Good morning, I see you're making breakfast" she was trying to push the subject toward another direction than her obvious distress.

"Yeah well I'm trying but you don't have much to work with" he said with that smirk across his lips and immediately she felt herself relax, she didn't know why exactly but he just had that effect on her.

"How are you holding up" his eyes were full of concern for her.

"I'm fine, really I am" she saw that he didn't buy it and he gave her a look full of sadness and guilt. He looked down on the floor before he spoke again.

"I'm so sorry, this is all my fault I-"

She interrupted him just like she'd done last night, although not with a kiss this time, just thinking about that made her blush again. Instead she wrapped her arms around him and said something that shocked him.

"Thank you, for saving me" he just looked at her. "And before you say anything, I am not sorry I meet you!"

"Why? All I've done is cause you pain!" He walked out of her embrace. He couldn't understand why she thanked him. It should be him thanking her! She gad saved him and she'd heard the story about his past and all he'd done was getting her in danger! He had harmed her, this girl he had realized he'd fallen in love with. But he knew nothing could come of it so he backed away. Not able to cause her any more pain by staying.

"I'm leaving today" he said it while he was looking away and she felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest. Her nightmare was coming to life, he was walking in the opposite direction of her.

But it was different now! She decided. Then she hadn't been able to stop him but that wouldn't happen now! She grabbed his arm as he was about to walk away from her.

"You are not leaving!"

"Yes I am! I can't stand watching the people I love get hurt"

wait what? The meaning of his words hit her and she just blinked. And when she spoke it wasn't full sentences.

"Love? People you love?" That's when it hit him what he'd said, she saw his expression change to one in chock.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean, forget I said anything" he tried walking away but she had a firm grip around his arm.

"You love me?" She was still in a dace and wondered if she'd heard him right? But when she saw the small reddening of his cheeks she knew she'd heard right.

He loved her.

She just stared at him waiting for confirmation in the form of words.

"Yes I do. it's, when... when you were gone I felt like my chest would burst. I just couldn't stand the thought of losing you and that made me realize that I've fallen for you. But I know that nothing can happen, that you probably hate me for all the pain I've caused you so I-"

She broke him off and this time she did kiss him. It was a hungry kiss, she poured all her emotions into it. When they pulled back, both of them breathing heavy she looked in to his eyes and told him what her nightmare had made her realize.

"I love you too"

"You what?" He was shocked to say the least. She laughed at his expression.

"Yes I love you. Last night I dreamt that I lost you and that made me understand that I never want to."

He had a single tear streaming down his face and he tried to cover it up before she noticed, but she was faster and dried it away.

"You love me? Even though I've caused you so much trouble? Even though I have so many demons?"

Her heart was breaking for the pain and guilt he felt and she just wanted to take it all away.

"Yes I love you! And we'll fight your demons together." This time he kissed her and she melted away in his arms.

When they'd finished kissing they made breakfast of the little they had. They left some for Octavia who was still asleep, which wasn't weird since it was only 6.30am, it appeared that they had both had a tough time sleeping. So when they were done they went back to Clarke´s bed and crawled under the covers and just lay there, wrapped in each other's embrace.

I know it's been awhile since I've posted and I'm sorry for the wait, I've been on a road trip so I haven't had time to write and it's over 1am now so there might be some spelling errors but I wanted to give you guys the next chapter. So here it is and please tell me what you think about it! :)
