Murphamy: A Happy Ending

Chapter 10 - Coming Out

Bellamy's POV

We sat in silence as I drove Murphy home. I thought about the kiss. He said that he loved me and I felt the urge to kiss him after he said that. So I did, and it was amazing.

I pull up to Murphy's house and stop the car. I expect Murphy to get out, but he turns to me. I look at him and he looks me in the eye.

"Why did you kiss me?" He asks and I can feel my face turn red. My grip tightens on the steering wheel.

"Should I not have?" I ask nervously. He probably hates me.

"No, I liked it. Forget that I asked." He says, reaching over to open his door.

"Wait." I blurt, not quite knowing the reason why I want him to stay myself. He stops and looks back at me, waiting for me to say something. "Can I kiss you again?" I ask, the words falling out of my mouth before I can stop them. I see his face flush a little before he nods and leans towards me, a little smile on his lips. I meet him halfway, our lips connecting and moving in sync. I feel electricity running through my spine, a feeling I've never had with a girl. He pulls away after a few seconds, a small smirk pulling onto his lips. He opens the car door and steps out, walking up to his front door. He looks over his shoulder and waves before opening the door and disappearing inside. I lean my head against the headrest and sigh.

How does he makes me feel this way? I really, really like him. I can't get him off of my mind.

I sit up and pull away, driving home before I do something stupid. When I get home, I park and walk inside. I go straight up to my room. Flopping down on my bed, I pull out my phone and it's blown up with messages from Finn and Clarke.

Clarke: Finn told me you were gay?

Clarke: Is that true? You can tell me.

Finn: I am going to make you're life a living hell

Clarke: Answer me Bell!!

Finn: Good luck getting any girls now fag

Clarke: BELLAMY!!!

I groan and open my messages. I text Clarke first.

Bellamy: Tell Finn to fuck off. I'm tired of his bullshit.

Clarke: Is it true tho?

Bellamy: Why does it matter if it's true or not?

Clarke: Because I can't be your friend if you are

Bellamy: Fuck off Clarke

Clarke: Is it true, Bell!!!!

I am about ready to chuck my phone into the wall. I take a deep breath and open Finn's messages and text him one thing.

Bellamy: Fuck off Finn

Finn: I told you I was going to make you regret it

Finn: Nothing left to say??

Finn: fag

I turn my phone off and toss it onto my nightstand. I run my hands through my hair and sit up, forcing myself to walk downstairs. Now is as good a time as any. I walk into the living room and see my mom sitting on the couch, Octavia curled up next to her.

"Hey, honey." She says with a smile when she sees me.

"Hi mom." I say in a monotone voice. Her smile instantly fades.

"What's wrong, Bell?" She asks, concern washing over her face.

"I have to tell you something. Alone." I admit, shifting out of nervousness.

"Ok." She says gently before standing up and leaving Octavia on the couch, asleep. We walk into the kitchen and I look down at the floor.

"What is it, Bellamy?" She asks, cupping the side of my face and making me look at her.

"Mom, I-I think I'm gay." I finally admit. I close my eyes, not wanting to see her reaction. I feel her small frame pull me closer, hugging my tightly.

"Honey, that's ok. I love you no matter what." She says, rubbing my back soothingly. I hug her back, resting my chin on her shoulder.

"Thanks mom." I say, voice wavering. Why was it this easy for me? Murphy should have ben accepted like this. I feel guilty for how easy this was for my mom to take. Murphy got beat just for telling his mom. I pull away and my mom looks into my eyes.

"I love you, Bell. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just no boys in your room when I'm not home." She says, trying to lighten the mood. I chuckle, kissing her forehead.

"I love you too, Mom." I say before walking back to the living room with her. We sit on the couch together and Octavia crawls into my lap. I hold her and we watch TV together, spending the rest of the night like that.

The next morning I walk into school, looking for Murphy. Since my other 'friends' hate me, I might as well hang out with someone I actually like. I find him standing in the hall, talking to a short, brown-haired girl. I take a deep breath and walk over to them.

"Hey, Murphy." I say, smiling at him. He turns and smiles back at me.

"Hey Bellamy. This is Emori." He says, gesturing to the girl. The girl has a look of surprise and what looks like pride.

"Hey Emori. Nice to meet you." I say, smiling at her. She smirks back.

"You too, big guy. So, why aren't you hanging out with the other apes?" She asks, nodding in the direction of Finn, Clarke and some other big guys from the football team.

"Oh... I can't deal with them. I thought I'd come hang out with you guys; if that's alright?" I respond. She nods and sends a sly smirk towards Murphy. We talk for a little while before the bell rings, sending us to our first hour classes.

This is a shorter one. Mainly fluff.
