"Hey, Bellamy? Does Octavia have my red sequin dress? I need it for the show tonight." Clarke's voice filled my ear, through my cell phone.

"Hold on a second, Princess," I replied as I made my way through the house to O's bedroom. I opened the closet and immediately saw the dress in question. Though I didn't want her to wear it since it left Very Little to the imagination, I asked, "Do you want me to bring it over?"

"You're my life-saver!" She cheered. "Can you just bring it down Grounders? The show starts in forty five so can you be there thirty?" She asked me, I could hear the look she was giving me. She was nervous if I would agree.

"Yeah, I'll be in the back parking lot," I said. "See you."

"Thank you! I owe you!" She said happily, then hung up.

I sighed as I grabbed the way-too-short-for-Clarke dress and looked for my keys and wallet. I could've swore I put them

Ding.

"You're keys and wallet are on the bathroom counter, you sat them there last night after I cleaned your hand up! :)" Of course she knew exactly where I left them. I don't know how I made it before she came into my life.

Grounders was the most popular bar around Arkadia, especially when there was live music. Tonight, I could barely find a parking spot, I had to squeeze in beside the dumpster. Clarke went on in 10 minutes, since I hit traffic I was a few minutes late. I grabbed the dress and hurried inside.

"Bellamy! There you are," Clarke rushed to me as soon as I walked through the door.

"I'm sorry I'm late, Princess. I hit traffic downtown and there is nowhere to park here. Here's the dress," I said as I extended my arm and handed her the dress.

"Oh, yeah. Thank you. I'm going to change really quick. Are you staying?"

I smiled. "Have I ever missed a show, Princess?" She grinned. "Now go get ready, I'll be at the bar." I watched her walk away to the ladies room before I headed to the bar area.

My hands twitched as I looked around, noticing that there was mostly guys here tonight. Staring at Clarke as she sang and swayed to the music. Ugh.

After I ordered my soda, wishing I hadn't drove, the music stopped and everyone's attention turned to the stage.

"Alright everyone, now is the time for the live music," the bar owner announced into the microphone. "Everyone put your hands together for Raven, Monty, Jasper, and Finn!" The crowed cheered as they came out and took their places at their instruments, getting ready for their singer. "And now everyone, please give a warm welcome to the beautiful and incredibly talented Clarke Griffin!" The whole bar broke into applause and cheers as Clarke made her way to the stage. The red dress shone and reflected red spots all over the place from the sequins, stopping just below her ass. She had pulled her hair up, leaving only a few loose curls down. She took my breath away every time I saw her, and tonight was no exception.

She smiled and waved to the crowd. "Thank you, everyone! Thank you! Tonight, we've changed things up once again! I hope you enjoy these covers tonight!"

They started off with 'U Don't Have to Call' by Usher, and the crowd ate it up. They played a Lady Gaga, a Katy Perry, and A Good Charlotte. The crowd was going crazy after they finished. Everyone was cheering and clapping, even whistling. They all begged for more.

"Thank you, everyone." Clarke panted, drinking some water. "There is one more thing before I go, I would like to say thank you to my biggest supporter. The one who has listened to me sing in the shower for years and urged me to pursue singing. The one that ways has my iPod ready for a singing session. The one who sneaks into the kitchen just to bear me sing when I cook." The crowed cheered and screamed, looking around to see who she was talking about, but my heart was in overdrive, pounding in my ears. Did she mean me?

Raven was at the piano before I could even process what was happening, then Clarke's voice filled the room.

"Everyone's around, no words are coming now
And I can't find my breath, can we just say the rest with no sound?
And I know this isn't enough, I still don't measure up
And I'm not prepared, sorry is never there when you need it

And I do, want you to know I hold you up above everyone
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me, and I'd be so good to you

I thought I saw a sign, somewhere between the lines,
And maybe it's me, maybe I only see what I want
And I still have your letter, just got caught between
Someone I just invented, who I really am and who I've become

And I do, want you to know I hold you up above everyone
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me, and I'd be so good to you

The song ended and I didn't know what I was doing, my body had took over. This had to be a sign. She must have meant me. And this song, this song was the very first song I let her hear by Mariana's Trench. It was her favorite. I pushed my way through the crowd, still in a haze and the applause continued.

Before I knew it I was directly in front of Clarke, looking up at her as she stared down into my eyes. I stepped up on the stage and before she could speak, I grabbed her face and pulled it to mine. My lips pressed against hers slowly, pouring all of my held back love and feelings for her flow through my lips. Everything I was afraid to say. Every time I wanted to just tell her. Once I remembered we were on a stage, in front of a ton of people, I pulled back, letting my hands fall from her face. The crowd was screaming and clapping, Clarke's face was red as she smiled, biting her lip.

"You finally sang to me," I whispered.
