Hard Times

Chapter 15 (Warning: graphic content)

Bellamys POV
It had been 22 days since Clarke disappeared, and with each day that passed my heart got a little weaker. I knew something bad had to of happened to her, she wouldn't have just run off without telling anyone. No matter how mad she was.

I wanted to help in some way but I didn't know what I could do. But it gave me some hope to know that if someone took Clarke she could protect her self, she was brave.

The police searched for her every day and let me come with sometimes because my dad had a friend that was a police officer and he knew I just wanted to help find her.

The only thing that kept me sane in all that was going on was reading a reason why Clarke loved me each day. Well she probably hated me now, but I could never stop loving her. And I would keep looking for her until the day I died.

Clarkes POV
Finn had lost his mind, he hit me in the head with the gun he had been hiding in his pocket and the next thing I remembered, I woke up with tape on my mouth and rope tightly tied around my hands.

I could tell I was in the trunk of a car and it was so dark. I was terrified of what would happen next.

After 20 minutes I felt the car stop and heard the trunk open. I tried to scream but the duct tape quitened it. He untied my hands and removed the duct tape from my mouth. He told me he kill would kill me if I tried to tell anyone that he had kidnapped me.

I got out of the trunk and noticed we were at a hotel. Finn got a bag out of the car and we went to check in. The next morning we went to a diner for breakfast. After we had ate he put me in the backseat and tied my hands back up. As we drove i decided to ask finn a question. "Why are you doing this to me finn?"

He looked at me through his car mirror. "Im sorry about how i had to do this. I just want to start a new life with you clarke. I love you."

If he loved me, why would he do this to me? i thought. Why would anyone ever hurt someone they love. And how could he possibly love me, he didnt even know me.

I still couldn't believe this was happening. Being kidnapped was always something I only heard of on the news I never thought it would happen to me.

The car stopped again and I realized that we were at another hotel. We checked in and one of the staff made us dinner. We sat across from eachother at the table in silence.

Then I laid on bed and tried to move the farthest away from him as possible. Early the next morning
he tied me up, put me in the backseat and the cylce continued.

But after two weeks I decided I was tired of living this way. I'd rather die than stay with him any longer. So I went into the bathroom and found siccors in the cabinet. I started to run towards Finn to stab him but of course he stopped me. I probably should have thought that plan through more.

He took his gun out of his pocket and held it to my head. "Just pull the fucking trigger already, I'm tired of living this way. Shoot me" I told him and fell to my knees.

"Clarke, you know I can't do that, I love you too much. But if you don't listen to what I say I'll kill Bellamy. I know you still love him but don't worry soon you'll learn to love me more."

It was true, I still loved Bellamy. But I felt so stupid for loving someone who didn't love me back and just played me, but I couldn't let him die. "Ok fine I'll do everything you say, just please don't hurt him," I said and slowly dropped the scissors on the floor.
