Bad Things • Bellamy

A/N: read note at the end. here is the incident in Bellamy's POV.

"Your house is amazing," Octavia murmured, inviting in the strange smell of Finn's house. His dad walked off somewhere into the house. No doubt, Octavia was underestimating. This house was magnificent. It was massive, architecturally advanced, and decorated really well.

"Thank you. Well, you guys can come up in my room. Everything is set up," we follow Finn upstairs into his room. It's just like mine, but bigger. Obviously. "One of you can sit in the desk chair and another when can sit in the papasan chair. Clarke, you can come and sit with me in my bed," I hesitate to sit in the desk chair because there's something about Clarke sitting on the bed with Finn that's unnerving. I look to Clarke for any sign of anxiety only to have the look reciprocated. We have a moment of communication through nods as Clarke sits on the bed.

"Maybe you should sit on the floor Clarke, or in my chair. It looks a little tight on the bed with you two on there," I suggest and both Finn and Clarke look up. It's more than clear that Finn likes Clarke, but I'm no idiot. I can see she's not interested in dating right now, or at least she's not interested in Finn. It kind of makes me feel bad for the guy. He's being a try-hard and Clarke is still paying no attention to him. What a shame.

"She's fine," Finn says briefly, flashing a stern look in my direction that says "Don't mess with me'. Clarke interrupts me before I can respond.

"Um actually, I'm going to go to the bathroom. Where is it, Finn?" Finn gives her the directions and Clarke leave the room, obviously not going to the bathroom. She clearly needed air. I wouldn't blame her.

We spend 5 minutes searching through textbooks "studying" when I realize Clarke still hasn't come back yet.

"I'm going to check up on her," I offer but Finn beats me to it.

"No, it's okay. I'll go check," and as he stands up a scream is heard.

"HELP! SOMEBODY PLEAS-!" we hear echoing through the hallway. It doesn't take a second for Finn and I to be out the door racing down the hallway to see Finn's dad's hands all over Clarke. Groping her, touching her, roaming her body, and Finn swings at him.

"Dad?! DAD! GET OFF OF HER!" he shouts, still trying to break Clarke free. I turn towards Octavia.

"Call the cops. NOW, O!" I shake her out of her shocked trance and she hurried to grab her phone and do so. I pull Finn away from his dad and pull his hands off of Clarke, allowing her body to fall right into mine. I sit her down, holding her in my arms. I tighten my grip when she begins to sob into my shirt and grab my collar bringing me down to her.

"It's okay, you're okay," I comfort her. She shows me her swollen face and my heart breaks. Sure, she's been annoying almost every second I knew her, but there's something about her. She doesn't deserve this, no one does. I've been starting to feel this urge to protect her lately, ever since my mom died and she hugged me like she was protecting me, it makes me want to reciprocate that. Especially right now, looking into her deep, blue eyes I know that I will be looking after her for a while now. As a friend, of course.

"B-Bellamy, what's going to-" I stop her.

"Shhhh, don't worry about it," I say, still holding her in my arms with a tight grip. It feels good to have her hold on to me, to have her trust me. I'm going to make a promise to myself. I promise myself that I will never let her regret trusting me. Ever.

A/N: I didn't proofread this chapter, so sorry. I will edit it later if there are errors:). I also have a new Bellarke fanfiction on the way!
