A/N There's the song later in the chapter and there's another note at the bottom.
Octavia P.O.V
Once Camilo exited the room I turned towards my brother.
"What does he mean by find Clarke?" Lincoln stood awkwardly where he used to be restraining Camilo. "I am going to leave. I will see you two in training." He then left the room. Raven who for some reason was also in the room uttered a goodbye and left.
"So?" I asked expectantly, before Bellamy could speak I noticed the state of his face. It was beat and bloodied. Damn, Camilo was stronger than I thought,"Wait. I'm going to get the first aid kit, then you're going to tell me what the hell happened."I went downstairs and grabbed a white first aid kit from a cabinet. Afterwords I went up to Bellamy's room and silently cleaned off the blood from his face, making sure to disinfect his open wounds. I then looked at Bellamy expectantly.
Bellamy sat down on his messy bed and sighed. He bent his head down, staring at his feet. I walked closer to him and crouched in front of my big brother.
"Bell?" I asked softly. When he raised his eyes I saw fresh tears that had yet to spill. His eyes held the sadness of a thousand lost loves, I had never seen him like this. Not even when Clarke had been hurt had I seen him like this. When Clarke had been hurt what I saw in him was the deepest, purest form of fear ever possible to grace a nineteen year olds face, and the slight surviving chance of hope for her to recover. As of now what I saw in my big brother scared me. There was such an overwhelming sense of defeat, sorrow, and complete heartbreak present in his face, in his eyes; this truly frightened me.
"What happened?" I questioned.
Bellamy took a deep breath."It's over."
My eyebrows drew together."It's over?" What did that mean?
Bellamy nodded," Clarke and I we're done." My eyes widened. They're done? How could they be done just like that? No there was something wrong here. They loved each other way too much to just be done.
"Wait what do you mean done?"
Bellamy breathed in a shaky breath trying to keep in his tears. "I broke up with her."
I stood up. Wait-what? "You broke up with her?" He nodded."Why?"
He put his hands on the back of his head. "I had too."
"You had too?" There was not one reason I could come up with, that was good enough for Bellamy to break up with Clarke. I wasn't sure that one reason existed for such at thing.
"If I didn't, she as well as you and everybody else would be I'm danger," He told me.
I sat down next to him in confusion."Okay Bellamy, explain to me what happened exactly." He began with telling me about the deal he made with Anya, and then how he called over Raven to help him with his plan of making Clarke think he was cheating on her, so that she would believe he actually chose to break up with her because he wanted to. He told me about Clarke's reaction and how she left. He told me how Camilo came here and how the fight started.
"And you're just going to let him think you actually cheated on Clarke?" I asked."You're just going to let everyone else think you cheated on Clarke?"
"I don't care what anyone thinks, as long as Clarke is safe they can think whatever they want," he responded.
"But how about Clarke?" He glanced at me and I raised my eyebrows."You're actually going to let her think you cheated on her?"
His heavy gaze wore a cap of defeat,"I have to Octavia. It's to keep her safe."
I sighed slouching."But your not keeping her safe by keeping her away. She is going to be- she is hurt by this I know it."
Bellamy swallowed,"She's Clarke, she's strong. She'll move on."
I shook my head,"No, she won't." Bell looked over at me,"She loves you just as much as you love her, and she won't move on. Even if she tries, even if she fools herself into believing she has moved, on she won't. Trust me, I am her BFF." Bellamy glanced at his hands."And I also know that the love between the two of you is too strong to just be forgotten. It will follow the both of you around until the day you die, and beyond. I know your trying to protect her, but she will not move on at all. She could try, but she will fail because though Clarke is strong and stubborn so is her love for you. I have a feeling that her love will always win." All I said was true, and I couldn't just stand around and watch my brother and my best friend be destroyed by this love because some gang was threatening their lives. If they weren't together I knew for a fact that it would be as if they were both dead. What was life worth living if the one thing you treasured most would be gone? I thought back to ninth grade English, that year we had reason Romeo and Juliet. They had suicided because they found the other dead, but this- this was different. Bellamy and Clarke didn't simply list for each other they loved each other. Not just that, Bellamy and Clarke would give their own lives for each other while Romeo and Juliet simply killed themselves to avoid consequences. Bellamy and Clarke's story was a true love story. Bellamy was actually willing to live without Clarke so that she could survive; which would force him to live day to day with a feeling of emptiness, sadness, and yearning. If that wasn't love I didn't know what was. What I did know was that I had to do something, and that I had someone who would help me if asked.
"Bell, what if there was a way we could take out Anya?" I asked.
Bellamy looked at me curiously,"What do you mean take out?"
I shrugged,"I don't know, put her in jail or something."
Bellamy sighed,"If she goes to jail, the Grounders will continue with her revenge plan."
"Not if there are no Grounders left," I paused to see f he was understanding what I meant before continuing,"the Grounders are a local gang. One that has not been able to be stopped by the police, but if we could help maybe they could all be locked up. You know depending in what they did and stuff. I mean at the most they have what? Two hundred gang members?"
Bellamy put up an index finger."319 were part of the Grounders last time I checked."
I rolled my eyes,"Still. How hard can it be to capture that many Grounders, especially if not all of them are loyal."
Bellamy squeezed the bridge if his nose."So we need to figure out which ones will and will not continue with her revenge plan?"
I nodded."Lincoln could help with that."
Bell looked skeptical,"Are you sure? I don't trust him."
I groaned,"C'mon Bell! He's been helping us train, and he is not like the other Grounders."
Bellamy huffed,"Fine. You can ask him for help."
I nodded,"Okay, we need someone in the police force to help us though."
"Miller's dad." Bellamy suggested,"We can trust him." For the next hour we worked together to come with a plan to get the Grounders locked up.
"We'll have him help us with all the legal aspects, Lincoln will help with the Grounders. I'll help with evidence and you will keep Clarke and the others believing that I broke up with her because I wanted too." Bellamy told me. Yawning I nodded in agreement.
Bell raised an eyebrow,"You tired."
"Just a little." I responded.
"Go to bed O, we already figured out what we wanted to figure out."
"Okay." I stood,"Are you going to be fine Bell?"
He nodded,"Yeah, go to bed." With that I exited his room and went to my own.
Clarke P.O.V
We arrived home before my mother did. My tears hasn't dried and new tears kept replacing the old. My wrist felt bare without the heart lock bracelet on it, as did my finger without the beautiful blue ring which has signified a love that I thought would never break. Both Camilo and I got off the car at the same time, we stepped into the dark house. I walked towards the kitchen for some comfort food feeling another sob attack coming on. I flicked on the light, and searched through the fridge until I found the whipped cream. I went to the pantry and took out a box of Chips Ahoy cookies. After pouring myself some milk I walked to the couch balancing the cookie box and whipped cream in one hand and my milk in the other. I set them down on coffee table and flicked on the television, not really feeling like sleeping.
"Hey Clarke where is the first aid kit?" I heard Camilo's quiet voice ask. I stood from the couch and turned to Camilo. The lights were in so I could see his beat up face. His eyebrow was bleeding, as were his nose and upper lip.
"What happened?" I asked.
Camilo scratched the side of his head. "I kinda got in a fight with Bellamy."
My eyes were wide."Why?"
Camilo stared at his feet."I found out he was cheating on you" I swallowed hard as tears began to spill down my face again. I wiped them before Camilo saw," and things sort of escalated from there," he explained. Camilo seemed mildly guilty, but something in his voice  told me he didn't regret fighting with Bellamy.
I sighed."Sit on the couch, I'll get the first aid kit."
Camilo shook his head."No it's fine, I can take care of my own wounds. I just need to know where the first aid kit is."
"Sit on the couch Camilo."I ordered, and he did."I'll be right back." After grabbing the first aid kit from the bathroom, I went back downstairs. I set it down in the coffee table next to my cookies, and then opened it up. I took a clean wet cloth I had also grabbed and began to wipe off Camilo's blood. I grabbed another cloth and put some rubbing alcohol on it. Gently I dabbed the gash on his right eyebrow. Camilo winced at the sting.
"Sorry," I whispered.
Camilo raised his eyes to mine."It's fine." I poured a little more alcohol onto the other end of the cloth and moved to the gash on his lip, dabbing it more softly so it wouldn't sting as much."Clarke?"
"Yeah?" I asked still focusing on cleaning his upper lip.
"Are you going to be okay?" His voice held a hint of worry.
I pursed my lips and closed my eyes for a second before opening them die to the fact that all I saw was Bellamy. A pained look crossed my face, and my voice wavered as I spoke."I don't know." I finished cleaning his lip and put down the cloth. I then began to inspect his face, making sure there was no other bleeding cut or gash.
"What if I could help?" Camilo asked. Confusion made its way across my features as I looked up at Camilo's light brown eyes. They were different then Bellamy's eyes. They were less guarded, less dark, more innocent, and held less, less emotion I guess. They weren't emotionless at all, but Bellamy's eyes somehow held all the emotion he was feeling plus some extra. That was one of the things I loved about Bellamy; he could be feeling the strongest of emotions and show it through his gaze without giving away too much.
"What do you mean help?" I questioned.
Camilo spoke quietly,"What if I could help you forget him? Forget Bellamy."
I stared at him in shock. Was he actually...
Camilo slipped his hands into mine."I know you love him and you might never stop loving him, but can you give me the chance to help you forget?" His eyes were serious. Could I forget Bellamy? I highly doubted that I could, but could Camilo help? He was nice, sweet, and a truly great guy. But, he wasn't Bellamy. Camilo didn't make me feel as if I was floating on air, he didn't quite understand me like Bellamy, I didn't trust him as much as I did Bellamy, and he was way different from Bellamy. Bellamy was guarded, Camilo in spite of his shyness(which seemed to have disappeared since the accident) was an open book. Camilo was more of a person to calmly treat situations while Bellamy would want to take immediate action to fix whatever situation needed fixing. There were so many differences, but maybe that was good. Maybe something different is exactly what I needed to forget Bellamy. I felt Camilo lean in. I didn't move as he paused only a centimeter away from my face. Slowly he went to close the small gap....
I heard the front door open and I stood abruptly. Oh gosh, I can't believe I almost kissed Camilo while still crying over Bellamy. In fact, I still felt my yet trying to fight their way out. I sniffed as I saw my mother enter the living room. She stopped short taking in my puffy red eyes, first aid kit, and Camilo's bruises face.
"Clarke? Camilo?" She rushed over to us. "What is going on here?"
I picked up the first aid kit and cloth, then replied,"Nothing." I went upstairs and put away the things before rushing to my room. I got in the shower and let the warm water wash away the events of the last two hours. Though once I stepped back outside if the shower, I was back in reality. All of I could think about now was Bellamy. Bellamy's smirk, Bellamy's voice telling me he loved me, the feel of Bellamy's arms around me, the feel of his lips against mine, and the memory of Bellamy feeling me he didn't love me. I squeezed my eyes shut as his voice rang in my head, over and over again. I shook my head, no this couldn't be real. No Bellamy couldn't have cheated on me. He never loved you, my inner voice told me. Yes he did, he does. No he doesn't he never did and never will. He tricked you that's it. No that couldn't be true. It is and you know it. I continued having this internal battle with myself. I replayed every smile he gave me, every kiss, every hug, every "I love you," everything he had ever said to me and everything he hadn't. I tried to figure out if this whole time he had been lying, pretending, until I couldn't take it any longer and reached for my IPod. I turned it on and blasted it up to the highest volume hoping to drown out my thoughts.
Bellamy P.O.V
As I laid in my bed I thought of Clarke. I thought of the way she laughed, the way she smiled, the way she kissed me, the way she told me she loved me, and the way she looked when I told her I didn't love her. That image was painfully burned into my mind. She hates you know, my inner voice told me. I winced. Camilo is going to take her from you. No that wasn't going happen, even though Clarke wasn't mine anymore. O's plan to get the loyal Grounders locked up was going to work. No it's not and you know it. You're going to be destined to live without Clarke. The plan is going to work, it has to work. Nope it's not going to work and Clarke is going to be with Camilo. No that couldn't happen. I took my phone and and plugged in my earbuds. I went on my music and turned it up as much as it could go, trying to drown out my thoughts.
Third Person P.O.V
Both Clarke and Bellamy listened to their music trying to momentarily forget about the world. They were each in their own homes, but didn't feel at home, in their own rooms, but didn't feel comfortable. Their music was successfully drowning out the world as a song they both knew came onto bot of their separate playlists. The song was Demons by Imagine Dragons. They both began to sang along glad for another distraction.
Clarke-When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
Bellamy-And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

Clarke-When your dreams all fail
My dreams of Bellamy have gone, Clarke thought.
Bellamy-And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
I must be the absolute most terrible person to Clarke right now, Bellamy thought.
Clarke-And the blood's run stale

Bellamy-I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
Bellamy thought that what he was doing was the only way to protect her.
But with the beast inside
He thought that this would be the best, until his sister's plan could go into action.
Clarke-There's nowhere we can hide
Clarke was thinking that no matter how hard she would try to get over her pain, she wouldn't be able to hide it.
No matter what we breed
Bellamy-We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
Bellamy considered himself selfish for wanting to be near Clarke as he sang, not knowing she was wanting the same thing.
Both-This is my kingdom come
There voices though in two different places were in sync.
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
Bellamy-It's where my demons hide
Bellamy knew Clarke had demons.
Clarke-It's where my demons hide
Clarke knew Bellamy had demons.
Both-Don't get too close
Both of them at the moment were hoping that somehow soon they'd be together again.
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Clarke was feeling hurt, but still thought about Bellamy.
Bellamy-At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
Clarke-All the sinners crawl

Bellamy-So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Clarke-Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Clarke thought that maybe this wasn't just Bellamy's mess, maybe there was another reason that Bellamy broke up with her.
Bellamy-Don't wanna let you down
Bellamy had never wanted to hurt Clarke. He had never wanted to let her down.
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
What he did had been for her.
Don't wanna hide the truth
He didn't want to hide the truth for her, but there was no choice.
Clarke-No matter what we breed
Clarke knew that she would never get over Bellamy, no matter what she did.
Bellamy-We still are made of greed
Clarke-This is my kingdom come
Bellamy-This is my kingdom come
Both-When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They both were scared of something.
Bellamy-Don't get too close
It's dark inside.
Clarke-It's where my demons hide
Clarke was afraid that Bellamy did meant what he said and did.
Bellamy-It's where my demons hide
Bellamy was afraid of being without Clarke, but they were both facing it.
They say it's what you make
Clarke-I say it's up to fate
Bellamy-It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Bellamy knew that if O's plan didn't work he would have to let Clarke go for good, he hoped O's plan worked, but he wouldn't bet on it.
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
He wanted to keep her as safe as possible, and the only way he could was to be as far away from her as he could.
Clarke-I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
Clarke wanted to feel better, and the only way she could think of was to rip Bellamy from her heart.
Both-When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
Bellamy understood he needed to let her go, because the chance of O's plan working was slim.
It's where my demons hide
Clarke understood she needed to move in from Bellamy, or else she would be in an immense pain.
It's where my demons hide
Bellamy couldn't let her go, because there love was too strong, so he kept that stray piecing of hope for O's plan to work. Even if it could take a long time.
Don't get too close
Clarke couldn't move on from Bellamy, because this love was stronger than her, but she couldn't forget what she had seen hours before.
Bellamy-It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
Both-It's where my demons hide
They finished singing, both realizing that though they weren't together they had a bond that could not be broken.
Clarke P.O.V
When I finished singing I pulled out my earbuds, I turned to my side and closed my eyes just as the door cracked open. I turned to see my mother at the door.
