Bellarke - Life Couldn't Be Better

Chapter 9 - All We Have

Bellamy's POV

Clarke curls up beside me. I guess it must have been sometime after she went to help Monty. I didn't go as i knew I wouldn't be able to cope. I cant show weakness to the rest of camp.
I trace the scar across my forehead. There isn't much there because of Clarke's precise stitching. But there is enough to remind me of the terror i went through.
I lie there awake to let Clarke sleep for a little while longer. Boy does this girl sleep a lot. She stirs in her sleep which leaves me even more deeply in love with her. I long to kiss her lips every single minute. If i was to i would wake her up.
I lie there for a few more minutes before i give in. Pulling back a lock of golden hair I tenderly kiss her on the lips. I know she is awake when she returns it and her hands wrap around my shoulders. "Morning beautiful" i tell her. Wiping the sleep from her eyes she replies. "How long have you been awake."
I wonder if i should lie and say I've just woken up but i know that I shouldn't. I don't want to lose her again. Even though its just a little white lie I've vowed to never lie to her.
"Since you got in. I felt bad after you threw up so i let you lie. Anyways, how are you feeling?"
The smile that she returns with the peck she gives me tell that she is at least okay.
"You're my Princess. Next time promise you will get me? Ask me for help or anything."
Her head sags lower. Like a child being told off. She nods and i take her hand in mine and entwine our fingers. We stay like that for longer than i thought. Scared that whoever lets go first didn't want to be there.
We didn't have to. The commotion outside caused us both to let go.
Even though we may be in love we still need to be leaders.
We both get dressed as quick as possible before bursting onto a scene of commotion.
Most of our population are gathered in a circle. I grip hold of Clarke's hand and push through the crowd. Clarke is smaller than me, weaker, so i guide her through. However i can tell she is stronger than she seems. When i look back to check she is still following i can see her budging the boys out the way. That's my girl. My Princess.
When we reach the middle something i dread to see is taking place. A fight.
Before i can make my mind up of what to do Clake throws herself into the middle of it. At first i wonder what on earth she is doing until i realise she was breaking the two appart.
While Clarke grabs who i think is Finn i grab the other. It turns out it was Finn, and Sterling fighting over some stupid macho thing.

"This is our life. The only thing we know is here right now. It is our responsibility. How are we supposed to live and trust each other when you are trying to kill one another. " Sterling struggles in my grip. "We need to start to act like adults. All of you who are stood watching return to your tents immediately." I keep a hold of Sterling until the crowd has cleared.
Clarke keeps hold of Finn which once again proves she is strong. The situation is too much. Leading is a lot harder than it first seems. "I'll deal with you two later." I storm off to the tent before i do something wrong.
