A Twist In Our Fate

Chapter Six

John

I rubbed Clarke's arm as she told me what happened, struggling not to leave her and go beat the hell out of Bellamy. He sat back at the table, watching us.

"Clarke," I sighed. "I'm so sorry. I should've waited on you. Do you want to leave? We can."

She shook her head. "No. Let's just try to ignore it for tonight and have fun. We can tell everyone else tomorrow."

I nodded as she tugged my arm back onto the dance floor. It took her a minute, but soon, she was back to laughing and dancing. Her eyes were bright as she danced with me, not even a hint of what had just happened moments ago.

The music changed and Clarke and Raven suddenly shouted. "Wooo! This is our shit!" Oh, damn. This was the song they couldn't hear without literally dropping what they were doing to shake their asses. Even driving!!!

Wick started grinning as soon as Raven started dancing. They were so grossly perfect together.

"You don't gotta go to work, work, work, work, work, work, work"

Clarke turned her back to me and grabbed my hands, pulling them to her waist as she grinded back on me. She was going to kill me. I got into it and danced with her, our bodies swaying and grinding in sync. When the song ended, I really needed to go to the restroom and, "adjust" myself.

"Do you want another drink?" Clarke asked.

"Yeah, I've got to run to the restroom really quick though. Take Raven and Wick."

She nodded and grabbed Wick and Raven, heading to the bar. I rushed as fast as I could to get back. Aaaanndddd I wasn't fast enough. I oushed through the crowd to get to Clarke.

".. you are ridiculous! Out there grinding yourself all over John freaking Murphy!"

"Go to hell, Bellamy!" Raven shouted.

"Bellamy you need to leave, now!" Wick warned him, stepping in front of Clarke.

I stepped behind Clarke and put my hands on her shoulders. "I'm giving you five seconds to leave Bellamy," I bit out.

"Or what! Don't act like you're better than me. We're from the same part of town Murphy!"

"Yeah, we are. But I didn't start doing drugs and spiral like you did! You said Octavia was the reason you quit, well how the hell do you think she feels about this? She leaves for a few months and she comes home to find you like this!" I shouted.

"He's right," Octavia said, joining our stand off. "Bellamy you need help, again."

Bellamy rolled his eyes. "I'm out of here!"

Octavia turned to all of us, Lincoln had his arms around her. "I am so sorry, guys. I didn't know it was this bad. Clarke, are you okay? I had no idea that he was doing this. Right before you left, he was acting different, but drugs wasn't my first guess. Did he hurt you? Ever or tonight?"

Clarke shook her head and grabbed my hand. "I'm fine. I know he doesn't want you to, but look out for him. Call me in a day or two. We need to have lunch together." Clarke hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, I know this is killing you."

"It is, but I'll make sure he gets help. I'll call you Sunday, okay?"

Clarke nodded and we walked outside into the fresh air. "Are you really okay, Clarke?"

She turned to me and looked up at me with those blue eyes. "Yes, I am. I'm upset that he's this way, and that he started back up behind my back, but I'm okay. She wrapped her arms around me. "Thank you for being here," she kissed my cheek.

I squeezed her. "Of course. Let's go order some pizza and watch some TV, okay?"

After we got home, Clarke showered and then ordered the food while I showered. Once I finished, I heard her paying for the pizza.

"What'd you get this time?" I called, leaving the bathroom.

"Sausage," she said, her mouth already full.

"Did you answer the door like that?!" I was shocked. She wasn't wearing pants! She was wearing a small tank top and panties that half of her ass was hanging out of.

"Uhm, I may have. No wonder the guy wouldn't finish his sentence," she laughed. "I'm so stupid."

We sat on the couch and ate our pizza while watching Supernatural, one of our favorites. Clarke yawned when the episode went off. "You want to head to bed?" She nodded.

We put up our mess and I followed her to her room. "Do you want a movie on?"

"I'm super tired, I don't think so."

I nodded and climbed into bed with her. She turned her back to me and wrapped up in her comforter. I turned away from her and waited for her breathing to even out.

"Come closer," she said, groggily.
