What caused love

Chapter 2

~~~~~~Bellamy's POV~~~~~

Clarke met my mother. She helped us eat. She is the reason we are still alive. She is the reason Octavia didn't starve to death.

I suddenly feel the urge to hug her. So i do. My arms circle her shoulders and pull her to me. She stiffens slightly and i am about to let go until her arms wrap around my waist. "Thank you" i whisper in her ear. " you saved us. Without you we would have starved". I pull back and look into her eyes. "Thank you" i see tears well up in her eyes " i always wondered why she stopped coming to me. Now i know. Where did you think she got the food?" Her gaze locked with mine. She has lovely eyes. The blue shines so bright and you can see exactly what she is thinking. Right now i can see curiosity and guilt. Guilt? Why guilt? Could it be because she now knows we had Octavia too. " i thought she was working for food instead of ration points. I had no idea. Whats wrong. You look kinda down?" "I could have helped more Bellamy. You had Octavia and i only gave her enough for two. I could have gave her more instead of giving it away to others. I could have helped" i see the guilt in her eyes build as a small pool of water rests on the tip of her eyelashes. "No Clarke. You couldn't have helped more. We still had our ration points and you had to help others. You had to feed yourself. You don't know how much you helped. We went to bed full instead of hungry. We woke up with the promise of breakfast. You saved us" the tear slipped and slid down her cheek. Without realizing, my hand slowly lifted and my thumb wiped the tear away. "You saved us Clarke. You kept us alive"

~~~~~~Clarke's POV~~~~~~
His hand reaches up and wipes away my tear. "You saved us Clarke. You kept us alive" is that true? Did they not even have enough for breakfast before me. Wow! The sincerity in Bellamy's eyes made me think that i did save the Blake's. I suddenly felt a surge of pride in myself knowing that i did in fact help someone. "Your mom was lovely Bellamy. She was strong. Just like you and Octavia. She would be so proud of you both" He replied with a smile. Not one of his smirks but a real smile. One that lit up his eyes. How beautiful that smile really was. Now i was ready for bed. Just knowing that i did some good made me ready to sleep. "Bellamy i think im going to go to sleep. We need to be ready for tomorrow". He looked at me with those brown eyes of his. "Okay Clarke. I'll see you in the morning", "you should get some sleep too Bell. You could use it" "Sure princess. No problem... And Bell, really". I softly giggled and he let out a quite laugh "well if you get to give me a nickname it is only fair you get one in return" i turned and headed for my tent. The smile still plastering my face.
