Be Alright

CLARKES POV

It's been almost a week since Finn's dad was sentenced years in prison. We ended up finding out that he's sexually assaulted over five other girls as well.

Figures.

Anyways, Bellamy is miraculously by my side all of the time now. He's always coming over with Octavia to check up on how I'm doing. He even came over a couple days ago and sat through a movie marathon with me. I've never really seen this side of Bellamy before and I really like it. Maybe I should get myself in trouble all of the time to get his attention. Nah, that's just selfish.

As for Finn, I haven't seen or heard from him this past week. How can I blame him? Even though it's for the better, he won't be seeing his dad for a long time.

And me?

I really don't know how i'm feeling right now. I woke up abruptly three times this week with nightmares. All about the same thing: hands on my vulnerable body that push me down so hard  that I can almost feel my feeble bones breaking. Painful, I know. I was violated, physically and emotionally, but I am recovering. Slowly.

My therapist asks me the same question every day: "Are you okay?"

How am I supposed to be okay? I know that someday, somehow I will be alright, I just don't know how to get there yet. I don't even feel strong enough to get there.

Aunt Sara has been giving me my space. She called my mom who tried to talk to me, but I refused.

Aunt Sara didn't know how to care for me the first couple of days, but now she can probably pass as a parent. She said she'd give me my space as long as I frequently took a visit to a therapist which I agreed to.

The doorbell rings.

I open the door to see a concerned Finn, "Are you okay?" he asks. The golden question.

"I'm fine," his facial expression drops and he tilts his head as if he knows i'm lying, "I'm doing better than I was before," I answer honestly.

I step aside allowing him to enter, "I'm just gonna be flat out honest with you, so just be quiet so I can say this," he warns. We sit down on a sofa and I nod, telling him to proceed.

"So basically, before all of this shit happened, I had like the biggest crush on you. It started when you first walked into school and I couldn't take my eyes off of you," he says, "There was just something about you that drew me in. At the party, I was too drunk and instead of helping you, I was an hormonal teenager and was daydreaming about your see-through dress. Call me a pervert," he shrugs, rolling his eyes, "I though that maybe we'd actually have a chance at dating. Obviously not anymore."

I stare stunned at what he'd just said only letting out a soft 'oh'.

"Yeah..." he concludes. "I'm sorry, by the way. About what happened."

"Don't be." I keep my attention on the kitchen tiles that are only a few feet away. This conversation is too much to handle for me. I'm probably so oblivious. I mean, I totally thought that Finn liked me, but I thought he was a creep. Turns out, it was his father.

"I'm leaving town soon. I probably won't be coming back because my mom is too ashamed to even look at my dad." It must be hard for him and his family. I know he has a two-year old sister, Gina, who, now, will probably grow up without a father figure. "I just thought you should know before I leave."

"Thank you for telling me." I say.

He gets up and turns toward the front door.

"I should be leaving, You know, to pack." he says. I escort him to the door. Just as he's about to leave, I lean in to give him a soft peck on the cheek. "What was that for?" he asks.

"Just a thanks for helping me the other day. He was your dad, but you still fought to help me. Thank you for that," I lend him a weak smile and he reciprocates a sad one.

"Bye, Clarke Griffin." he smirks and walks down the front steps.

"Bye, Finn Collins." I answer, watching him fade off into the distance.
