"Alright so we go to O's wedding together like it was planned, we act like we never broke up and then we tell her we broke up when she comes back from her honeymoon in 3 weeks."
"It's easier said than done"
"Clarke c'mon we need to do it. For O's sake. If she learns that we're not together anymore the day she's getting married, which is tomorrow, she's going to freak out. Remember when we had that big fight? She was going even crazier than we both were. We can't ruin her wedding"
"Bell believe me I want the same thing as you okay, but it's kind of hard to go to your best friends wedding with her brother who also turn out to be the man you've dated for 2 years until 3 days ago. And I know we broke up because it was for the best, but it still hard to be around you. It's only been 3 days." Bellamy let out a sigh. It wasn't easy for him too. His best memories all include Clarke, and Octavia of course, but she's his sister.
Clarke, well she's Clarke. She's this amazing woman who has cough Bellamy's eyes all these years ago and only had the guts to ask her out 2 years ago. Now here they are thinking about how they're going to act tomorrow to make sure Octavia doesn't know they're not together anymore.
"We can do it Clarke. We just have to have fate in us and our talent in acting."
"Pfff Hahaha. You're an horrible actor Bellamy Blake."
" I know but I have a motivation and when I have a motivation I'm a good actor."
"Alright I gotta go. Tomorrow is a big day. We've been together for two years. We just have to act like we never broke up."
"Okay! Goodnight Princess!"
She smiles at the nickname.
"Goodnight Bellamy!"
----------------------------------
Somehow, Bellamy and Clarke have managed to act like a couple throughout the wedding and dinner. But it's during the after party that things went crazy.
21:00
"Hey Clarke! Why aren't you with my brother?"
"We-well we don't always have to be together."
"I know, but you two are usually always glue to each other and making out."
"Well we're not." Octavia looked at her suspiciously.
"Please don't tell me that you and Bell are having one of this big fight on my wedding day?"
"What?!? No we're not. Bellamy and I are fine." Clarke could feel the nervousness rising and she really didn't want to ruin O's wedding. But it was hard lying to her considering that Octavia knows her better than she knows herself. Clarke knew her best friend was about to say something when she felt two strong and familiar arms wrapped around her body. She felt a tickling sensation going through her body.
"Hey babe! Hey O!"
"Bell, Clarke, do you have something to tell me?"
"If you're talking about the fact that we're very much in love and that we're both very happy for you, then yes." They both smiled at Octavia.
For a second she seemed to be a little suspicious but then her face lit up.
"OMG BELL! You finally ask Clarke to marry you!" Clarke's smile fade and she felt Bellamy tense behind her.
"O c'mon my cousin wants to meet you properly."
"I'm coming Linc! By the way I better see you two dancing tonight!"
She went with Lincoln, leaving them. Clarke turned to face Bellamy.
"She suspects something we need to be more careful."
"Yeah...I saw you were nervous so I came to see what it was."
"Thanks by the way."
"No problem princess!"
She smiled at him. He still had his arms around her waist.
"Alright...I'm going to go get a drink." Clarke left him where he was.
22:00
Clarke was sitting at the bar by herself when she felt someone sitting next to her.
"Alright don't tell me there's nothing wrong with you and my brother."
"Everything is fine between Bell and I, O."
"Are you sure it's not because of the girl who's been flirting with him for the last hour?"
She looked for Bellamy from where she was.
"He's over there." Octavia said while pointing a table a couple meters from them where Bellamy was with another girl. Her heart stopped for a second at the view of her ex boyfriend talking and laughing with another girl.
"Bell has the right to talk with other girls."
She kept her eyes on him.
"Clarke I've notice that you and Bell have been distance all day. What are you not telling me?"
Clarke couldn't take it anymore, she got up and turn to look at her best friend.
"Don't worry O everything's fine. Go have fun with your new husband." She smiled and started heading to the bathroom. When she reach it she locked herself in and let the tears fall. And in that moment she realized how much she still loved Bellamy and how much she regrets braking up with him. And Clarke Griffin rarely regrets something.
23:45
Octavia went to her brother with a worried look on her face.
"O is everything okay?"
"No, I've you seen Clarke?"
"No the last time I saw her she was entering the bathroom."
"When was that?"
"About 2 hours ago."
"So you're telling me that it's been 2 hours since you've seen your girlfriend and you're not worried."
"Listen O, it's not because Clarke and I are together that we have to spend every second with each other. She's free to do what she wants."
"I know you two are not telling me something and I hate it." She turn on her heals and headed to the bathroom. She tried to open the door, but it was locked.
"Someone's in here." She recognized her best friend's voice and she also heard her sniff. Is she crying?
"Clarke it's me open the door."
Clarke did as she said. When Octavia opened the door she was greeted by her best friend in a miserable state. Her make up was all over her face and her eyes were all red. She immediately went to her side and hugged her.
"Is it about the fact that the girl was flirting with Bellamy?"
"It's not this Octavia...well not the main reason. I promise to Bellamy that I wouldn't tell and I didn't want to tell you, but it's hard and I need to talk about it with my best friend, but it's your day so I can't tell you."
"Clarke I don't care okay? You're ruining my day because you're sad and I need my best friend happy. So just tell me."
Clarke took a deep breath.
"Bellamy and I broke up."
"WHAT?!?"
"O calm down it's not a big deal."
"Not a big deal. Are you kidding me. When did it happen? Why?"
"4 days ago"
"You haven't told me and it's been 4 days. Why have you broken up? You were fine."
"That's the thing O. I don't even remember why we broke up. I just know that we both agree to that reason and we were done, but I regret it so much because I still love him and I can't live without him." She started crying again.
"Clarke, Octavia? Are you in there?"
Clarke looked at Octavia, there was no way Bellamy could see her like this.
"Yes we are."
"Is everything okay?"
"Yes big brother!"
"O there's people looking for you."
"Well I'm busy right now trying to fix something you've done!" She answered angrily while getting up and opening the door for her brother.
"Octavia!" Clarke squeal.
Bellamy looked at Clarke. He felt guilty. He knew exactly why she was crying and he understand because that's what he has been doing for the last 4 days. The truth is that he regrets it. He regrets it because he loves her- god he loves her even more than Octavia.
"Go back to your guess O. I'll take care of her."
Octavia looked at Clarke, then at Bellamy before heading out the bathroom.
He immediately hugged her and he couldn't held it in anymore. He started crying with her.
"I miss you so much Clarke."
"I miss you too Bellamy. You have no idea how much I regret it."
"The worst is that I don't even remember why we broke up." She laughed and then she looked at him in the eyes, still crying. She wiped away his tears.
"I don't want to be with anyone else Bellamy. I love you." He smiled at her and instead of saying something he kissed her. He kissed her hard. But the truth is that he didn't need to say anything because this kiss was telling Clarke everything that she needed to know in a way that even words weren't enough to explain.
He putted his forehead on hers, his eyes still close.
"I am never letting you go princess, never."
