Losing Your Memory

15. Knowing

Bellamy's POV:

A princess crown. Clarke. She must have made it...is she starting to remember? I did this before - to lead Clarke to me - she had followed my trail of crowns to find me stuck in an animal trap. I had set off knowing the area was dangerous, the path of crowns was my back up plan in case i got hurt.

I was lucky Clarke found it, and now, she is using it so i can find her?

I have to follow them. I dont have time to think, i start searching for the next one; which i find on the floor, made from sticks, a little further into the forest.

The last one i find is a makeshift crown made from stripped leaves. I start to look around but dont find another one, i find her.

"Clarke...what are you-" i stop dead when i realise where we are. Clarke is peering down the Cliffside...where she fell. "How did you-"

"I remembered...Bellamy i was going to ask you what happened that night...i know you didnt do anything!" She says hastily, turning to face me, her eyes glossed over with tears. "Bellamy, I..I remember, everything" she says breathlessly, on the verge of tears and i want to reach out to her...

"Clarke i wanted to tell you i was just-"

"Protecting me...i know" she nods, smiling while the tears fall down her cheeks. After a moment she looks up at me and smiles again, laughing weakly "I remember you...Bellamy Blake." She breathes and suddenly i want to cry and scream all at once.

"Finn also...i remember him...he was..."

"A dick? Pushy? Annoying? Rude?" I stop when Clarke runs foward and pulls me in to hug her.

"He was all of the above but i dont care because I remember you...that is all i have wanted since i woke up after the accident and i want to thank you for...everything and apologise for believing Finn when he-"

"Clarke!" I say, holding her small, trembling body against my chest "It's okay, he manipulated you...hey dont cry" i say gently, wiping off a tear from her beautiful face.

"I dont know whether to cry, laugh or scream because i remember! I once saved your life! You were attacked by one of the 100 and i saved you! You taught me how to swim because you were the first to learn! And I umm...well we uh...we argued...a lot" she stammers barely breathing, still crying but smiling all the same.

I dont think she has ever looked more stunning! Her cheeks shining in the sun light, dotted with tears, a huge grin on her face but what is getting me most of all, is her eyes. The way they seem more blue than normal, full of wonder and happiness and they are looking at me! No one else, me!

"Bellamy thank you so much! I couldnt have come this far without you..." she suddenly flushes red and looks away.

"We should head back to camp, bet you're seeing everyone in a whole new light now you can remember." I say with a friendly nudge and she giggles.

"Yes i mean i hadnt thought about them because of you...umm because there is a lot to think about" she stammers, avoiding my gaze and walking back in the direction of the camp.

I stare down the cliff at the fallen rocks and the rushing river bellow. I remember collecting Clarke's lifeless body in my arms and carrying her to saftey. I dont ever want to lose her, even though she still isnt mine to lose.

"Everything feels different! I was terrified...more terrified than i realised! It was the 'not knowing' i guess...but at the time i didnt know what i was missing and now...now i know and everything has changed from the night of the accident." Clarke exclaims as she walks beside me, shaking all over.

"I don't think i have ever seen you so happy" i exclaim, grinning broadly because it is all over! Finn can't manipulate her and Clarke doesnt want anything to do with him and if anything I am more in love with the blue eyed girl...than i had imagined possible.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Clarke asks when she sees me watching, i dont bother to look away because i cant stop looking at her and I certainly cannot keep the smile off my face!

"We are back" i say, avoiding her question and suddenly her smile dissapears and her jaw sets firmly, her fists clenched.

I follow her through the gates, Clarke doesnt appear to notice the glances she is receiving from everyone, probably wondering. Then Clarke spots who she is looking for.

"Finn!" She cries, a smile breaking out on her face and i feel my stomach drop as if it is being forced down by weights. I stop dead in my tracks as Clarke runs foward and leaps into Finn's arms.

"Finn you were right! Everyone was lieing, you're the only person i can trust!" I hear Clarke cry as she pulls away from Finn and the smug look on his face is enough to make me want to grab my gun from my belt and shoot him!

"Clarke I love you" Finn breaths and i think i might be sick. This cannot be happening! What is going on?

"Finn I...am obviously just as good at pretending as you! Because i know you lied! I know you cheated on me with one of my friends and i remember how we were when we were together, i couldnt walk without your assistance! I wasnt happy and i never will be happy with you! Now piss off and get out of my life you scumbag!" Clarke yells loud enough for the entire camp to hear and she raises her fist, slamming it right into Finn's face. She hit him so hard that his nose begins to bleed.

Clarke instantly runs back towards me and i, towards her. We both stop abruptly when we reached one another, both trembling. I am filled with relief.

"Dont, ever! Do that again!" I say slowly and Clarke bursts into a fit of laughter.

"I'm sorry but...but did you see his...his face! He deserved that punch!" Clarke gasps while laughing.

I want to kiss her so badly but everyone is watching...do i hug her? Do i kiss her? Shit she is looking at me! I can hear my own bloody heart in my chest as if i were holding it in my hand. Everything around Clarke seems to melt away, the chaos, cheers and confusion of the people around me, fall silent.

Suddenly there is a loud bang which slices through my thoughts. A gun shot.

AN: Well a lot happens in the chapter and quite quickly i know! Bellamy found Clarke and she has her freaking memory back finally!!!!! Whooohooo but what about that gunshot? Did the bullet meet its mark?
