Clarke's POV

Today was the day.

It has been a while since I have talked to Finn since I have been so busy with school and helping Bellamy and sleeping.

Today I needed to talk to him. Figure things out between us.

Maybe he could forgive me, hopefully take me back and we could date again.

But as I walked over to his house, a feeling of doubt took over me.

I took a long, deep breath before knocking on Finn's door. I was standing outside his door in the brutal, cold air trying to calm myself down before he answered.

The door swung open with Finn standing behind it but once he saw it was only me, he rushed to shut it again.

I stuck my hand out to stop it and walked through it, before Finn could object otherwise. He huffed when he realized he couldn't get rid of me.

I walk into his kitchen and turn to him, my hande resting on the countertop, "We need to talk."

"About what?" He snaps, "About you kissing my best friend when you were dating me?!"

"Finn, I'm sorry! I never meant to hurt you and I'm sorry that I didn't push him away!" I shout angrily.

Finn rolled his eyes so hard that I thought they were just going to just roll completely to the back of his head.

He crossed his arms, "You not only didn't push him away, you were actually kissing back!"

I started to walk towards the living room, just needing to move around a little, "That kiss meant nothing! Bellamy is nothing more than a chemistry partner to me! Maybe you should be getting mad at him for kissing me, okay?!"

He quickly follows me into the living room which stops my pacing, "You're gonna have to look me in the eyes and say that again for me to believe it."

My whole body stops for a split second, trying to take it all in but in an instant, I turn my heel and walk right up into Finn's face.

I make sure my eyes don't falter and stay looking right into his. I calmly and sternly say, "That kiss with Bellamy meant nothing to me."

Finn closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then his arms wrapping around my back, pulling me closer and leaning in to kiss.

Our lips were connected for a few moments before I pulled away, shaking my head, "No. I can't."

I looked into his dark, brown eyes but they lacked what I was looking for. I couldn't describe it but I knew something felt off. I was hoping to see someone else's beautiful brown eyes.

I mentally shook my head. No, I'm here to get Finn back and this is working. Why did I have to go and push him away now?

He steps back, offended, "So what, are you done with me now and going to go run over to Bellamy?"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, "Finn, you think just because I'm done with you, that means I'm starting with somebody else!"

"Not just somebody, Bellamy." He pauses, "That kiss did mean a whole lot to you, stop lying!"

I clutch my car keys tightly in my hand and open up the front door, "The kiss meant nothing!"

I slammed the door behind me before Finn could say anything else. My mind was racing, completely overwhelmed by what had just gone down.
