Ch.16 My hero!

Octavia leaned over to Clarke who sat beside her in math. "Hey Clarke I'm gonna be at my science partners house for a bit to work on our project so I'll see you in a few hours." "Are you sure bell would be ok with that?" Clarke asked raising an eyebrow. She rolled her eyes. "It's just a science project and it's a girl so don't worry I'm fine." Octavia shrugged. Clarke nodded. "Ladies! Is there something you would like to share with the class?!?" Ms. Hutchins practically screamed at them from the front of the room. "No, sorry." They mumbled. The bell rang and everyone rushed out the door. "K bye O. Call me when you get there and when you are leaving." Clarke said to her friend over her shoulder. "K see ya Clarke!"

***HOURS LATER***

"See you Fox we can finish the rest tomorrow." Octavia said smiling "Ok see you then!" The girl Called waving from the porch. Octavia was walking home when she remembered she had to call Clarke and dialled her number. She was crossing the street and a truck came speeding around the corner. Octavia ran to the side of the road so fast she tripped over the barrier that blocked cars from going over the edge of a steep hill. Octavia fell tumbling down the hill. The phone was still clutched in her hand. "Octavia! Octavia! Are you ok?!?!" Clarke screamed into the phone. "I heard a car and running!" "Octavia!" Bellamy's voice boomed through the phone. Octavia couldn't answer she had hit her head, hard off a rock, and was now out cold. "Hey are you ok?!?!" A man slid down the side of the hill. Octavia could hardly register what was happening. He stopped when he saw she was lying on the ground in a small pool of blood and ran over to her. She looked up and opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out. "Come on I need to get you out of here." He lifted her into his arms one arm under her knees the other supporting her back. She blacked out again and didn't wake up for another couple hours. When she woke up she was on a brown worn leather couch. 

"Wha? Where am I?" She wondered out loud. The man was in the kitchen and stepped into her sight. He raised his hands to show he meant no harm. "I'm Lincoln. Saw you fall. You were passed out and I didn't know who to contact so I brought you to my apartment." "Um. Tha... Thank you." Octavia stuttered. "I'm Octavia. What time is it?" Lincoln looked over his shoulder to the oven clock. "11:23." He said. "Crap! My brother will be so worried! I have to call him!" Octavia started to hyperventilate. "Hey it's ok." He walked over to her. "Where's my phone?" She asked him. "I didn't see it. I just took you and you didn't have your phone with you. It must still be where you fell down the hill." "No no no!" She started to cry. "his number is in there and I don't know it off by heart" she said between breaths. "Hey it ok" he gently rubbed her back. "I can drive you home." She sniffled. "Thank you." "Come, my truck is down stairs."

She walked with him out of the apartment and to his truck. It was a black 4x4 and was surprisingly clean and organized. There was a small leather notebook sitting in the cup holder. They were half way there when Octavia asked about it. "What's this?" She picked up the small book. He took it out of her hands. "It's nothing. I just wright down my ideas or sometimes I like to sketch." "Oh sorry." She apologized. He gave her a small smile "it's ok" She caught herself staring "uh yeah um... just the tall building there." She pointed He parked in the small parking lot. Bellamy ran out with Clarke on his heels. "Octavia!" He shouted. She opened the car door and got out "Its ok bell. I'm ok!" He pulled her into a tight hug.

Bellamy looked over his sisters shoulder suddenly pulling away. He pushed Octavia behind him and stood protectively in front of her. "O, who is this? Did he hurt you! I swear to god I'll kill him if he did anything to you!" "Bell stop! He didn't hurt me he helped me!" Octavia yelled moving to Lincoln who was now out of the car. "His name is Lincoln!" Bellamy scowled at the man. Clarke stepped in for the first time. "I think we should trust him. I mean he brought her home right?" Bellamy glared. "Please come inside!" Octavia pulled him into the building. "O!" Bellamy called after her as he started to march after her. Clarke stopped him. "Bellamy." He looked down at his princess. "I think he is a good guy let's give him a chance ok?" She said looking up at him. "How do you know?" His eyebrows were pulled together in worry for his little sister. "I'm always right about people. I can feel it as soon as I meet them. Remember that crazy girlfriend you had?" She said. He rolled his eyes. "Don't talk about her." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Yeah I know you told me she was a stalker the day you met her and I didn't believe you." "She had tons of pictures of all of us!" Clarke exclaimed. He looked at her in all seriousness." I'm sorry I put you and Octavia in danger. I made a promise to myself you two were going to be the only girls I cared about." She rolled her eyes "stand down soldier." she said sarcastically. "let's go inside."
