Things you can't ignore

- 16 - Bellamy -

A couple of weeks have past, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I didn't call Clarke. I avoided anything that could lead me to meeting with her : no dinners at Octavia's, no nights out with the group. And I didn't « work on my jealousy ». Because the reason of me being jealous is also gonna tear us apart.

In fact, I spent most of my time searching for a new job. And I found one, in New York. I'm leaving the day after Thanksgiving. I didn't tell anyone yet. And I think I'm not gonna tell anyone before the day.

I was packing some more boxes when someone knocked on the door. O was standing in the corridor, soaked. The weather has been quite bad recently.

- I was on my way to work, but forgot my umbrella. She said. Do you have one for me? She asked.

- Let me go get you one.

I left for the closet searching for an umbrella and came back as quickly as possible to the door. But O wasn't there anymore. I turned around and spotted her in the middle of my living room filled with boxes, her bag dropped at her feet.

- O, I can explain.

- So that's what's been going on. You're leaving. She whispered, and I could feel in her voice that she was crying.

- O, things have been quite difficult...

- So you decided to ignore everything? You shoved all your memories and your feelings down? She started to get mad.

- Can't you see there's nothing to ignore? There's no more group, no more friendship. So how can I ignore it?

- You can't leave, Bell. That's not the solution. You better find a way...

- There's no other way. I interrupted her. I can't live knowing she doesn't want to talk to me. At least, being in New York...

- New York? Gosh, you didn't even pick the closest city, did you?

- Being there and not here will make things easier to bear. I will make new friends, maybe meet someone. I explained.

- So you're running away... Well, and you're supposed to be my role model.

- Sometimes you need to know what's best for you. In my case, I know it's better for me to leave, O. But don't worry. I'll be back for Christmas.

- You weren't even planning on telling us, were you? She asked.

- Not until a couple of days before I leave.

- And are you gonna tell her?

- No, and as a last favor, don't do it either. She'll know about it soon enough. You promise?

- Promised. She replied. She leaned in for a hug. Gosh, I'm gonna miss you, big brother.

- I'm gonna miss you too, O. But I'm not gone before a couple of days, so come tonight for dinner?

- I'll be there.

She grabbed her bag and the umbrella from my hand. And walked to the door. But she turned around one last time.

- By the way, Clarke told me you didn't like Atom. Why's that? You know what? Don't have time. She said, checking her phone. You'll tell me this evening okay? Love you. And she left, closing the door.
