Not everyone, not you

Chapter 35 - Almost time

Clarke's POV

I woke up later than usual and I notice Lexa isn't in the bed with me. I get up and I look over to the table and notice a flower on the table. It's a Queen Anne's Lace, one of my favourite flowers. I don't think I ever mentioned that to her. She must've seen my drawings of them. She's so thoughtful, I love how she always manages to put a smile on my face. I get dressed and put the flower in my hair to show Lexa that I liked her gesture. I walk out and go towards the fire where I spot Lexa and my friends.

"Good morning guys." I say.

They all turn around and smile at me.

"Good morning Clarke." they all say except Lexa.

Lexa gets up and walks towards me and smiles.

"You look amazing with that flower." she says.

"Thank you for leaving it for me."

"You're welcome. I know they're your favourite."

I smile and I hug her.

"For the big and tough Commander of 13 clans, you're a huge softy." I whisper in her ear.

"Am not!" she replied.

"You sure are."

"Okay, maybe a little, but it's only because I love you."

"I love you too, Lex." I respond before pulling away.

We sit back down with our friends and talk for an hour until Kane shows up.

"The meeting will be starting in 15 minutes, find Murphy and Emori." he says to me and Lexa.

"Okay, see you in a few minutes." Lexa replied.

"We'll see you guys later." I say to our friends.

Lexa and I get up and we go inside and walk to Murphy's room. We knock on the door and Murphy answers the door a few seconds later with his shirt off.

"Looks like you guys had fun. The trial starts in 10 minutes, go get something to eat and meet us outside of the council room." I say.

"Whatever you say, Griffin." he says as he closes the door.

We wait outside his door for a few minutes and they finally emerge from the room.

"Let's go." Lexa said as we started walking.

We walk into the room and take our seat and wait for the others to arrive. I don't know if I'm ready to see Bellamy again. I know that Lexa will be there for me. This is going to be hard for all of us, Bellamy was important to us all. He helped us to get to where we are currently. He may have done some stupid things, but he's done good things too. But this, this is unacceptable and I can't forgive him for almost killing someone without a reason. Sure Murphy was kind of a dick and made a kid kill herself, but he's changed over the last few months. The rest of the council members arrive.

"Bellamy will be brought here in a few minutes, we just need to get ready." Kane said.

"Are you sure you're ready to see him Clarke?" my mom asked

"I don't know, but I have Lexa. I'll be okay." I say as Lexa puts her arm around my shoulders.

"I'll always be there for you, I promise." Lexa whispers in my ear.

"Thank you. I love you so much." I reply.

"I love you too."
