(overlapping a little bit of the previous chapter to show both of their views)

Clarke's POV

"Can't stand to see me with another guy?" I smirked at Bellamy.

His fists clenched at his sides, "Sure" i smiled to myself and headed towards the clearing. I didn't know when Finn would start into the forest.

When i reached the clearing, i decided to hide behind a bush, in case he knew i'd be here. I sat in silence for what felt like hours, but in reality i was only about 5 minutes, before i heard a sound. I heard someone walking over the dead leaves that had fallen, coming in the direction where i was crouching.

I stood up and walked back slightly, keeping myself out of the light that reflected off the water from the city.

I ran in the opposite direction, desperate not to be 'murdered'. I couldn't see where i was going, and i heard a yell from who i thought was Jasper. He had to go back to the camp as the 'murderer' had found him.

I changed my direction, running into a pair of strong arms that came around my waist, which spun me round.

Bellamy had both his hands on my waist, my back up against a tree. His breathing was heavy, as if he had been running from Finn too.

His lips were next to my ear and his voice was low, "I couldn't stand to see you with him, princess.

He doesn't deserve you."

His lips crashed into mine and he moved one hand to the back of my head, and leaving one on the small of my back. The kiss was a mix of passion and hunger, emotion pouring out with every move. I drew my hands up his chest and to behind his head, tangling my fingers in his wild black curls.

I could feel his mouth turn into a smile as i pulled his hair ever so slightly.

"Princess." he half-moaned.

I pulled back and looked up at his brown eyes. He rested his forehead against mine.

"Come on, Bellamy, we need to get back to camp before anyone else dies."

He sighed, but complied. I took his hand and led him back, I saw Finn, who kept looking between me and my linked hands with Bellamy. He made his way over to me, visibly upset and deep in thought.

"What's this then?" he demanded, pointing at our hands.

"Uh, Finn.. it's not what it looks like," i tried to pull my hand back, but Bellamy had a tight grip on it.

"I think you should go back to your tent, Finn." Bellamy warned.

"You can't tell me what to do."

I wanted to step in before something else progressed on. I didn't need to be stitching up anyone this weekend.

"Bellamy.." I tried to pull my hand back once again.

All i wanted to do was explain to Finn that I didn't know what I felt, and for who, but Bellamy didn't allow me the chance.

"Whatever, forget it." He let go of my hand, shot one more glare in Finn's direction (although i feel it was more directed at me) and stormed off to his tent.

I was about to start off after him, when Finn grabbed my arm. "What's going on between you too?" He furrowed his brow, looking worried.

"N-Nothing." I didn't know how I wanted to answer this. Or how Bellamy wanted to handle it.

"Hey, do you want to stay in my tent tonight?" He asked. I pondered it, not sure who i should go for.

"Maybe later, i need to go check on Bellamy."

Finn's jaw clenched, and his eyes were a rage. "Why? You said there was nothing happening between you guys."

"There's not," I said slowly, "but I just need to go talk to him for a bit."

"Fine. You know where to find me." He walked off in a huff and I rolled my eyes. I needed to go see Bellamy. I didn't know which tent was his, but I saw which direction he stormed off in.

I unzipped what i assumed was his tent, and i could see a dim light coming from it, and he was the last person to go to bed. He mustn't have heard me come in because he didn't turn around.

He had no shirt on, how i assumed he went to bed.

"Bellamy," his back muscles tensed at the recognition of my voice saying his name.

"What do you want, Clarke?" He didn't even turn to face me, but i could hear the pain in his voice.

"I wanted to explain."

"Explain?" he took a moment to contemplate my words. "Explain how you just kissed me so passionately, then acted like it was nothing? Like I was nothing?"

"Bellamy.. I-"

"-No, Clarke. I'm done. Done with whatever this is. You can go run to your little boyfriend's tent like I heard him offer you."

I squeezed my eyes shut and held the bridge of my nose. Taking in a breath, I finally admitted it

"But i want to stay with you tonight."

He faced me, furrowing his brow.

"You what? No no, you can't just pick and choose in this."

I took a step closer to him, wanting to be as close as possible.

"I'm choosing you." I said so quietly i could barely hear myself.

Bellamy's eyes lit up ever so slightly, and in an instant his hands were around my waist.

"Princess.." I had began to accept this nickname more "I've been waiting to hear you say that from the day i met you."

I leaned in closer to him, smiling into the crook of his neck. He lifted me up so effortlessly and i wrapped my legs around him. I held his face in my hands and kissed him so slowly and lightly, leaving him wanting more. He sat us both down on his stretcher (as he found it more comfortable to sleep on) and lay me on the side of him, a protective arm covering my side. I smiled up at him and he kissed me on the forehead, trailing his lips down my face, lightly on the nose and finally lingering on my mouth. I parted my lips to tell him i wanted more, but i could tell he was tired. He smoothed a hair behind my ear and kissed me softly on the nose.

"Goodnight, my princess."
