(Y/N POV)
I do my best to move past Bellamy but fail when he uses his body to block my path.

"This son of a bitch." I say with in a polite tone making him think I'm probably saying something along the lines of "please move" but in reality I'm cussing him out to his face.

"Are you sure I don't know you?" Bellamy proceeds to question, showing no signs of moving or giving up unlike last time he asked me this.

"I'm not answering the same question twice. I have somewhere to be and I'd appreciate if you so kindly moved out of my way." I don't know if he got the gist I was being sarcastic because he seemed slightly stunned I wasn't cussing him out by now, little did he know I already did.

"Where are you going?" Bellamy quizzes while he stays parked in my way.

"None of your damn business." I state before quickly maneuvering around him while using a swift kick from behind him to sweep his legs out from underneath him, the last part wasn't exactly necessary but it was definitely payback for cheating on me. If anything he should consider himself lucky I could have done way way way worse.

I'm gone down the hall and around the corner before he can fully process what just happened. I slow my pace a bit as I change my direction so that I'm now heading to the training arena, now that I'm not occupied with the burden of having to deal with Bellamy my thoughts start to wonder why River didn't show up at breakfast like he said he would, they soon began to spiral down a very dark path. While thinking over all the worst possibilities that would cause Rivers absents I begin to pay such close attention to the patterns on the rug, trying my best to not break in tears. I managed to get so lost in my own mind I wasn't able to hear the voice in front of me yelling my name. Suddenly I feel a tap on my shoulder which catches me by surprise causing me to jump at least 2 feet in the air.

"River you scared me half to death, what the hell is wrong with you?" I huff as I come to realize who the person is.

"I yelled your name. How did you not hear me?" He asks with concern and confusion lacing his voice.

"I was thinking." Is all I reply, remembering that one of the possibilities for why he was missing is because he no longer likes me. I resume my way to the arena not bothering to stay and speak to the person who might of just stood me up.

"Hey, where are you going?" I hear River shout from behind followed by a pair of rushed footsteps.

"Like you care." I mumble to myself but I guess I wasn't subtle enough about it because he seemed to have heard considering he stopped dead in his tracks after I said it.

"Why would you say something like that?" River questions is disbelief.

"Oh I don't know, maybe it's because you stood me up at breakfast, or maybe it's because you don't like me anymore." I shouted not fully understanding I was speaking my mind, the words just spilled out. When my brain finally registered what I said I instantly slapped my hand over my mouth in shock but also as an attempt to make the words go back in but sadly it didn't work that way.

Silence was the only thing that followed my short rant, I don't know if it was because he was in shock or if it was because I was right, either way he was still silent which made things all the worse. It felt like days had passed but in reality it was only 5 long seconds of complete and utter silence, it wasn't until a damp stream of tears run down my cheeks I noticed I was crying. My tears didn't only catch my attention but Rivers to, the sight of me with tears streaming down my face seemed to snap it out of whatever trance he was in. I didn't even have time to react because with one swift motion River had me in the most safest feeling hug I've ever experienced. Even though a part of me was still angry with him I couldn't help but melt into his embrace and hug him back while momentarily resting my eyes and taking in his scent. Being so close to him felt so right, like we were both each others missing puzzles pieces and we finally got pieced together.

"Look I'm really sorry for blowing up on you, I just, I don't know. I really like you and now you don't like me and I don't know what I did wrong. River I-" I begin to ramble as I redundantly pull out of the warm embrace with my eyes still closed but only to be cut off by something smashing themselves onto my lips. It takes a second for me to comprehend what's going on but when I do a million butterflies seem to have been released into my stomach. I instantly kiss with no hesitation after confirming River it's actually kissing me by squinting my eyes open just ever so slightly just to make sure this is really happening.
