Someone like you

Chapter 12

“It’s gone!” Someone screams.

Bellamy wakes up quickly, Clarke in his arms not happy to be rudely awaken.

“What happened” She yawned.

“I heard something.” He states, getting out of bed and running outside. Once he gets outside he sees a girl crying her eyes out. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s gone!” She shouts.

Bellamy places his hand on her shoulder to calm her. “What’s gone?” His calm voice asks.

“All my meat! Someone’s stolen it!” She cries, showing Bellamy the evidence. “That’s two months’ worth of food- gone!” Bellamy looks at where she is pointing to. And she is right. Her, once filled with meat, stall is now as empty as Finn’s soul. There wasn’t anything left. Nothing at all. Bellamy gulped, he was nervous. He didn’t know what was doing this. He was probably the most confused person here. He knows he can’t fix this but he is willing to try to stop the person who did this.

“It’s okay Monroe, I’ll figure out who did this.” He tells her. Before running back to Clarke. He feels chills inside of him, what happens if he can’t figure it out? “Clarke!! He shouts.

“What is it?” She sprints to him, thinking it’s an emergency.

“Monroe has been robbed. Properly robbed. A whole months’ worth of food- gone!” He explains. Bellamy throws him hands in the air with anger.

“Don’t worry we’ll figure something out.” Clarke’s voice tries to calm Bellamy.

“Well, what if we can’t Clarke! What will happen then?” He yells at the top of his voice. Before walking away with frustration.

“Hey! Bellamy!” She chases after him. She finally takes his arm and pulls him to her.

“What?!” He shouts in her face. “You can’t figure this out Clarke! Things have been missing from camp for a while now, okay! I kept it from you because I thought I could handle it. But now this! A whole stall Clarke! It used to just be the odd chicken or flower!”

“Bellamy! Stop!” She shouts back. “I thought we were a team! We don’t keep things from each other! Especially stuff about camp!”

“Oh stop trying to be the boss Clarke! You’re not the boss! You’re just a girl!” He shouts, full of anger yet lots of regret. “Clarke.” He voice quietens down.

“You are so full of shit!” Clarke screams tears streaming down her face, hitting Bellamy across the face. Having a go at him and trying to hit him as much as she can. But Bellamy is much stronger. He takes her hand and presses her to the wall. Stopping Clarke from hitting him. Clarke lets her cries out, and Bellamy does too.

He makes his face, face Clarke. “The truth is, I’m afraid. I’m afraid Clarke. Bear, Aria and Romeo. How am I going to protect them all? And you. I love you and I’m frightened that this is another tribe. Coming to get us. That half of us aren’t even prepared. It would just be too much to face. I’m so scared.” He wraps his arms around Clarke. Tightening his grip around her. “I’m so scared.” He whispers.

“Bellamy. Whatever it is we, as a family and as a community, can handle it. We won’t ever stop until we are all so safe we might start going crazy.” Bellamy laughs when Clarke says this. Clarke breaks away from his grip and is about to leave the cottage.

“Where are you going?” He asks, his eyes full of worry and sadness.

“I’m going out to get more medical stuff.” She tells him.

“Wait! With some tribe out there we don’t know of? I don’t think so.” He exclaims, walking up to her.

“Bellamy, I’ll be fine okay.” She kisses his cheek lightly. Before walking out.
