It turned dark and everybody gathered around the fire with food in their plates and water, fruit juice or alcohol in their cups. Clarke watched as her mother leant her head against Kane's shoulder and sighed to herself. 'It would be a sweet sight if the world wasn't ending' she thought to herself. Clarke leant her chin on her palm as she wondered how everyone could possibly stay this optimistic and calm. All that filled her was worry for her people...anxiety that her mother could get hurt. Most of all...she couldn't understand the gut wrenching unbearable worry she felt every time she thought or even looked at Bellamy. If he was to get even a small cut on his skin, her anxiety would consume her. Every moment she spent at this party the more uneasy she felt about how much time they would have left to figure out how to beat it all. Just as she was about to get up and walk back to her bed, a hand touched her shoulder.

"Hey hot stuff" Raven joked and sat next to her friend with 2 cups of alcohol.

"Got some for ya" she smiled and handed the cup to Clarke which she gladly took.

"Thanks Raven..."

"Don't mention it"

"Do you really think that this is right? That everyone should present everything's fine?" Clarke asked her and took a sip of her drink which made her tongue sour up. At first she almost choked on the strong taste but then she got used to it.

"No of course not, but, I think we shouldn't completely loose yourselves...I mean we can't survive without living a little right?" Raven replied. Clarke nodded and agreed. Yes, Raven was completely right. Her people needed a little optimism...she needed it. Clarke sighed and suddenly pictured Lexa in her mind. It had taken her a whole 2 months to get over her and even though she has now, she still thinks about her every now and again.

Clarke took a sip from her cup again and smiled towards Raven and gave her friend a side hug and then leant her head against Ravens shoulder.

"Thank you Raven, I understand now" she smiled. Raven smiled.

"That's more like the Clarke I know, now want more?" She asked pointing to her cup. Clarke nodded and watched as Raven walked away towards the juice bar.

"Having fun there princess?" A voice called out behind her. She turned around and saw Bellamy walking towards her with 2 cups of alcohol. He handed her one and sat down beside her, taking a drink.

"Well, I'm sort of starting to-"

"Hey Clarke" Raven laughed as she returned with her now refilled cup of alcohol and handed it in her other hand.

"Uhhh..." Clarke had awkwardly laughed at both cups in her hand.

"Well then I don't need to get you another refill then" Raven laughed. "I'll leave you guys to it then"

" I'll make sure she's careful" Bellamy said seriously.

"Oh come on, careful? Let her go for it if she wants, right Clarke?" Raven giggled while taking another drink. Clarke smiled at her friend.

"Anyway I'm going to go find that Jaspy Jasper" she giggled and nearly tumbled over the log. Both Clarke and Bellamy could tell that Raven was already drunk from just 2 cups. Clarke took another sip from her cup and looked over at Bellamy who was staring at the fire. She couldn't help but notice how sharp his jawline was, how his eyes sparked in the fire, how his lips slightly parted. How his shirt was tight around his muscles and chest....how...attractive he looked right now. She suddenly shook off the feelings. What is she thinking?! What in the word! What?! Did she just....about Bellamy? No...it's the alcohol it's definitely the alcohol. A panic set on her as Bellamy turned to look at her.

"Well Ravens sure got her hands full" he chuckled and pointed to the left. Clarke saw Raven and Jasper making out by the tree. Her eyes widened and she suddenly choked on her alcohol.

"Oh my god!" She yelled in shock and she couldn't hide the large Grin that surfaced on her lips.

"Wait until we tell them tomorrow morning" Bellamy whispered in Clarke's ear and laughed. His breath tickled her skin and her cheeks flushed bright red. Her heart sped up as she realised how close he was to her. She then slapped herself. Clarke! Stop! No, no, no!!!!!
She drank the rest of her drink, including the second one to distract herself.

"Wow there, slow down" Bellamy chuckled as he rubbed her back. Clarke jumped at his touch and wisped his hand away. Clarke had no idea why her heart pointed when Bellamy was around and she desperately had to distract herself from doing something she regretted.

"Hell no, another!" She barked as she pushed Bellamy off the log but then got up.

"Actually I'll go" she said slurring her words. Bellamy blinked twice and looked back to count the amount of drinks she had. 3 so far and she's already drunk and slurring on her world. He rolled his eyes but then remembered what Raven had said. 'Nothing bad will happen right?' He thought to himself.

Clarke poured another cup down her throat in a heartbeat and looked to see if Bellamy had followed her but he hadn't. She breathed a sign of relief. and Murphy stared at her wide eyed.

"Hmm...looking for your knight in shining armour? Princess? You know Iv been meaning to ask if you do have ever hooked up yet...you know what I mean, everyone else in the camp can see your totally into each other but your too dumb to realise" He whispered laughing her way and she jumped back.

"What?! Who what, Bellamy? Ha no, why, why would you say something like that? What? No, I would never-"

"You would never not?" A voice came from behind her. She screamed. How long has he been standing behind them!? She turned around slowly to see a smiling Bellamy.

"I was wondering why it was taking you so long to get a drink"

"I um, you didn't have to wait for me" she stuttered and realise the feeling returned when he raised his eyebrows. She nearly felt like her heart would pound out of her chest. She began to feel nauseous and her breath quickened. What is happening? She though to herself. Is it the alcohol? No...it couldn't be. Could it? But it had to be!!! She then grabbed 2 more cups and threw the alcohol down her throat.

"Woah ahah wow Griffin!! I didn't know you had it in you" Murphy gasped loudly, also drunk. Clarke laughed and walked back to the log feeling a little tipsy...no...a little more than tipsy but she was still conscious and wasn't completely out of control or blind drunk like everyone else.
