He wasn't angry or indignant, his feelings went more to sadness and confusion. A little more to confusion. He wanted to understand, wanted to get things right with her, which seemed easy at first, since he knew where to find her. And it would have been easy if (Y/N) had appeared in the places where he looked for her.

Bellamy couldn't find her in school, often he had waited for her in front of her locker, but she never showed up there, and he began to think that it might have to do with why Octavia started leaving home earlier to go to school. And maybe it had to do with the fact that (Y/N) stopped going to the Blake's house to spend some time with Octavia. She was avoiding him, and he couldn't exactly blame her, but he wanted to know what he had done wrong. What he had done to drive away the girl he liked, scratch that, the girl he loved.

Bellamy kept trying to talk to her for the next two weeks, until he heard that people had seen (Y/N) with another boy. She had moved on quickly, maybe she really didn't like him. So he tried to move on in the same way as she did, looking for someone else. Of course, that hadn't been difficult for him. Several girls were there, waiting for Bellamy to notice them. And then he started to go out with them. Not one, not two, but a bunch of them, trying to fill the emptiness that (Y/N) had left in him, though he tried not to let it show how much she had affected him. But it didn't go unnoticed, not by Octavia, she knew her brother well.

Octavia felt bad from the moment she had seen the hurt look in Bellamy's eyes when her best friend broke up with him, but she couldn't go back. (Y/N) was her support, half of the dynamic duo that they formed, and her friend's relationship with her brother was destroying it, so that had to stop. Octavia thought that Bellamy would move on quickly, that (Y/N) had only been a crush. But soon she began to realize that she was wrong, very wrong.

On the one hand she had Bellamy, who was going out with many girls and obviously was bad, but hoping that no one noticed this, and on the other she had (Y/N), who was sad since the break up, and for whom Octavia was trying to arrange blind dates since then. Although (Y/N) had just agreed to do this after the second week, when her mood started to get better, but she hasn't stayed with the same boy for a long time without giving up on him.

Not to mention their mood, which were constantly changing. Basically, Octavia had to put up with both being hell. So she needed to get the two of them together again. And that was what she was determined to do when she went to her brother for an afternoon.

"Hey."she said as she sat down on the couch beside him.

"Hey." he muttered back, his eyes still fixed on the TV screen.

"So..." she began, looking innocently at him. "Are you going to do something tomorrow?"

"No." he looked at her laughing. "Why? Are you going to invite me on a date?

"Not with me." she said, laughing back, receiving a confused look from Bellamy. "What about a date with (Y/N)?"

His body tensed when he heard the girl's name being uttered. His dark eyes stared back at the TV screen. Octavia sighed when she realized she wouldn't receive an answer from her brother, throwing her head back slightly.

"C'mon Bell." he stared at her coldly. "I know you still like her and..."

"I don't like her." he cut her off. "And she doesn't like me. So just leave us alone."
