We do this Together

Chapter 28: Sparks Flying across the Sky

Bellamy
That night, Bellamy lay awake and questioned the last few months of his life and how he would have been an idiot to stay mad at Clarke. In his heart, he knows that there's an unexplainable connection between them and he knows that his life would suck without her. Slowly he begins to drift into a land of peace and where death was a foreign thing; then he's being shaken awake.

"O, I'm trying to sleep." Bellamy says groggily as he pushes himself upright and rubs his tired eyes

"You've been asleep for at least 2hours plus, it's starting and Ravens all done- everyone's started drinking." She beams,"Please big brother you deserve a drink." She smiles and Bellamy quietly agrees to his little sisters demands, not wasting any time with in changes his clothes to meet everyone outside.

As he makes his way towards the center of camp, a new sight comes into his view and he positions himself on top of a table outside in the darkest sky, watching as Clarke gives a speech while Raven rummages quietly around setting up final touches.

" I'm aware that I'm no ones favorite person at the minute," Clarke begins,"I left this camp with only one leader-" Her eyes lock with his and his heart beats from his chest- "And he thrived in making this place our home, I hope everyone understands I left for a reason and I was scared to jeopardize everyone's lives into coming back for selfish reasons.."Again, only for a second Clarke finds her sight on Bellamy, before returning and addressing the crowd around her again,"But a few,very..very important people reminded me that we're 100 and whatever Anya or Lexa want to throw at us...we can take it." The crowd erupts into a chorus of cheers and wooos and clapping at Clarke's speech and so Bellamy decides it's time to join his co-leader in the speech.

"SO!" He shouts turning everyone's attention to him and he jumps from the table and makes his way beside Clarke,"Tonight is about celebrating, and thanks to Raven- there's a little show on the way." Bellamy nods at Raven who'd just recently joined them.

"If everyone would care to countdown from ten and look to the sky." She screams happily and Murphy begins the countdown.

"So you finally got that drink." Bellamy whispers in Clarke ear whilst the attention is on the sky's upcoming event

"9" The crowd screams

"Well this is the slowest countdown ever." Clarke says as the crowd shouts

" Is it not fast enough for you princess." He smirks, looking at her

"How many nicknames do you have?" She laughs

"8"

" Not enough."

"7"

"Clarke, I need to-"

"No Bellamy don't.

"6"

"Clarke you need to hear me say it."

"No, I don't. We can't be selfish. Love gets-"

"5"

"Us killed."

"Fuck them Clarke."

"4"

"We need to be smart Anya could make a move any day now."

"3"

"And that's more important than us is it?"

"It needs to be." Bellamy swallows and storms away from her

"2"

"FUCK YOU CLARKE." He screams but he's not even heard and then rushes back next to her," You know what,"he says pacing towards her," if I'm gonna be sorry for anything it's gonna be this."

"1"
He envelopes her into him, carefully brushing his fingers to her cheek as he kisses her. Snaking around her waist, his hands keep a firm grip and she wraps her arms around his neck, not breaking the kiss. Only for a second, they pull apart for air and tilt their foreheads so they're touching slightly.

" What happens now?" She asks.

" Well tonight, we get what we want. We can worry about everything else tomorrow." He answers her

" If any of us can walk." She jokes
" Considering you've only had 1 and you can't stand up right I'm guessing your talking about you." She bites her lip and he smirks

" Maybe." She whispers in his ear

Everything after that was a blur in a swirl of alcohol.
