Bellarke Book 1

Chapter 21 ~ Secrets Almost Told

~Clarke's POV~
*in Clarke's Dream*
"Thank you," Bellamy said as he held me to his chest. He really loved his sister. Then I remembered, his forehead. I pried myself from him and pulled him to a cot.

"I have to check this,"  I said and pushed him to sit down. He winced but didn't fight back.

"I'm fine, Clarke," he said and smiled. I smiled back but continued to check him.

"What happened?" I asked. My left leg in between his legs and all my weight on my right.

"Mountain lion," he said, "We were coming back to camp when it attacked."

I took a wet cloth and began to clean the blood. "How far out were you?"

"Only about 2 hours," he said and winced when his shifted himself. He place his hand on my hip awkwardly.

"You ran for two hours carrying Octavia?"

"I ran carrying you back from a two day trip," he said and I blushed.

After cleaning the blood I finally began to examine the cut throughly. It wasn't that deep but he still needed it bandaged.

"You need to start being more careful," I told him. He chuckled.

"If I was more careful I wouldn't get to visit our famous doctor as much."

I removed my hand but he grabbed it and placed it back on his head.

"Thank you," he said. He stood up but was still so close I could feel his breath. Sweat soaked his shirt and he smelled of the forest.

He grabbed both my hands and leaned in.

Finn busted through the door and Bellamy stepped away.

"What's going on?" he asked and Bellamy smirked.

"Nothing. Just Clarke checking up on me. I got to uh... go hunting," he said and left the tent.

*Scene Changes*
I followed Bellamy into the woods and he stopped by a fallen log.

"Taking a walk, Princess?" He smiled.

"I just wanted to ask something," I said and walked up to him. His shirt still soaked.

"What?"

"Why did you act like nothing was happening?" I asked and he smirked.

"Because Finn would be angry. And I don't want to compete with someone for your attention," he said.

"Bellamy, Finn and I are done," I said and looked him in the eye.

"Good because I also didn't want to share," he said and wrapped his arms around me and stared at me.

"Share?" I repeated.

"Yeah," he said and leaned in again. He gently touched his lips to mine and pulled me closer.

~Bellamy's POV~
   I wake up the next morning with a sleeping Clarke in my arms. She looked so beautiful. She was beginning to show, which worried me but also made me feel proud and happy.
   Clarke was the best thing to happen to me, next to Octavia. I don't want to lose her but Abby will find out eventually. I don't know what she will do when she does.
   Clarke shifted and looked up at me. "Hey," she said sleepily.
   "Hey," I said. She smiled. Her blonde hair fell behind her back and her eyes sparkled. She looked so beautiful in my shirt that was still too large on her even though she's pregnant.
   "What's going on?"
   "I just..." I started and my eyes drifted to her stomach. She sighed.
   "You're afraid about what my mom would do when she finds out," she said and I nodded.  
   "Bellamy... if we have to, we will leave Arkadia and live by ourselves in the woods. There is no way I am living without you. You were the reason I fought so much. I love you and I'm not going to let my mom pull us apart. I can't lose you," she stated and ran her hand up to my cheek.
   "I love you too and I would rather die than be without you," I said and kissed her forehead.

Knock knock knock

   "Bellamy?" I heard Abby say behind the door.
   "Sh*t," I said.
   "Bell, language!" Clarke scolded.
   "Sorry," I said, suppressing a smile and climbed out of bed. I threw a shirt on and opened the door.
   "Kane told me that you got Clarke back..." she paused when she spotted Clarke standing behind me. I looked at her and fortunately you couldn't see her stomach through my shirt. "What are you doing in here and what are you wearing?"
   Clarke crossed her arms over her stomach and glared at her Mom. "She was exhausted and dirty so I brought her here," I told Abby.
   "Why not her own room?"
   "Because... she fell asleep while I was carrying her and I didn't know the code to her room. I gave her that shirt until she had enough energy to head back to her room."
   Abby scoffed, "And you expect me to believe that?"
   "You don't have to believe it, Abby," Clarke snapped. I never heard her call her Mom by her name. "You gave up the right to give a damn about me when you were going to leave me in that place."
   "Clarke..."
   "No! I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Bellamy! You just don't like him. You think he is a criminal."
   "He is!"
   "No He's not!"
   "Yes he is, Clarke."
   "Then I am too."
   "Clarke..."
   "You don't get it! He is the fa-..."
   "Clarke," I whispered.
   "He is what?" Abby asked and crossed her arms.
   "Uh... he is the one who saved me. So don't be angry with him for taking care of me." I could tell she almost let it slip but she held it back. Abby turned and shut the door behind her.
   I saw Clarke with tear stained cheeks. Pulling her into a hug, I whispered, "It's ok, Clarke."
She nodded and cried in my shirt. "Bellamy?"
   "Yeah?"
   "I love you."
   "I love you too."
