On The Ground

Chapter 2 Part 1

Clarke POV

I rubbed my eyes as they adjusted to the sunlight illuminating my tent. To be honest, that was the best rest I've had in a so long. Being in such a good mood, I decided to go see Finn since for the past few days I was in the drop ship.

When I stepped out of my tent, I scanned the camp noticing that only a few campers were out. None of which were Finn so I headed to his tent.

Lifting the flap, I popped my head in, "Finn? You up-"

I choked for a second at what I was seeing. Finn was shirtless in bed with Raven's bare back exposed, as she lied across his chest, sleeping.

Finn blinked at me in shock. "Cl-Clarke? I-I thought you were in the drop ship?"

I still hadn't spoken. It was finally processing in my head what was happening.

Finn was about to say something, but I had already closed the flap, and left the tent.

The tears that were brimming my eyes began to fall down my face. Seriously? I thought to myself, I can't believe he just slept with her. I heard shuffling coming from inside the tent and I knew Finn had gotten up. I made a quick b-line for the meat shack just in time to watch Finn come out.

He didn't see me so he called my name a few times, gazing around. After a moment or two, he trudged off in the other direction.

Fucking moron.

"Hey, Clarke!"

I whipped my head around to see Jasper and Monty in the distance, heading towards me. Sucking in a huge breath, and quickly wiping my tears, I tried my best to smile at them. "Hey guys."

"We saw that Bellamy was up ." Jasper said .

"Yeah , you never cease to fail ." Monty added, patting my shoulder.

I smiled genuinely at them, "Thanks." Pushing the thought of Finn out of my mind, I cleared my throat, "Um, so. I'm running out of supplies in the drop ship, do you two mind coming with me to get some more?"

They both nodded in reply. "Of course " Monty said .

"Thank you so much . We'll leave in about ten minutes , I have to check on what I need again from the drop ship."

"Got it." Jasper said and he and Monty walked away .

As soon as they left me, the tears that I had been holding in, fell down my face. I glanced back at Finn's tent to see Raven coming out and heading off, probably to look for Finn. I shook my head in disappointment.

I wiped away my tears, yet again, and turned to walk towards the drop ship.

As I looked up, my eyes widened. Leaning against the entrance was Bellamy. And he was staring at me.

Float me.

Bellamy was harsh sometimes and I didn't want him to see me crying and thinking that I was weak. So I let out the breath that I was holding, straightened myself out, and walked towards Bellamy.

He was still staring at me, and when I finally reached him, I gave him a fake smile, passing him.

Before I made it in, he caught my arm, spinning me around to face him. I was expecting his usual snarky remark about how I look weak and that I should just let him lead. But as my green eyes met his dark brown ones, they held nothing but ... concern.

"Clarke, what's wrong?" He said stern tone.

Wow - I think dark brown is my new favorite color. I just shook my head , trying to play it off , "Nothing ."

I averted my gaze away from his intense stare. I could feel the tears coming on again but I was not about to let Bellamy see me cry.

I could feel his eyes burning into my skull, and I briefly gave in, sneaking a glance. He looked unconvinced.

"It's nothing , Bellamy , really." I repeated as I wiggled out of his grip.

I swiftly turned away so that Bellamy wouldn't see the tears that had escaped my eyes.

I tried to walk away but he spun me around again, firmly holding me by the shoulders, "That's bull - whoa, whoa, whoa." His eyes were filled with worry now, "Princess, whatever happened to you wasn't just nothing."

Immediately my hands went to cover my face, but Bellamy lifted my chin with his hand to make me look up at him. "Tell me what's wrong."

I shook my head, freeing my face from his grasp, "It's nothing" I said once more, "I'm just being stupid."

Trying to turn away again. But I failed, again.

This time, Bellamy cupped my face with both of his hands, looking directly into my eyes. "You May be a lot of things, Clarke, but stupid isn't one of them. Now, tell me - what's wrong?"
