Hard Times

Chapter 23

Clarkes POV
Bellamy and I were unpacking. I turned my back away from him for a split second to put the rest of my clothes in the dresser when he disappeared. Its was like he teleported, I hadn't even heard him close the door.

I figured he went to Octavias room so I walked there. I knocked but there was no answer. Maybe Bellamy and her went to Murphy and Ravens room. So I went across the hall to there room. But still no one answered. Where could they all be?

I peeked out of the lobby, and checked all the halls.  I went outside and  found them at the beach, sitting in the sand next to a bon fire.

"Thanks for the invite guys" i said sarcastically. I stood there awkwardly feeling the soft sand in between my toes. They all looked surprized to see me and stopped talking. That made me mad, i know i probably had no reason to be but i was. This was supposed to be a trip for all of us so why would they ditch me?

"O hey Princess come sit with us" Bellamy said looking over at me. "No its fine i don't want to interpret whatever this is, because its clear you don't want me to be here. I'll be at the pool bye." I said and quickly started walking back to the hotel.

But of course Bellamy caught up to me and spun me around to face him. "Princess im sorry let me explain. While we were unpacking i saw that Octavia accidently packed her phone in my suitcase. So i went to her room to give it to her and come back here.

But then Murphy and Raven were heading to the beach so Octavia and i went with them. I was going to wait until i thought you were done unpacking to call you but then we lost track of time talking. Im sorry" he said with a deep sadness in his tone.

"Its fine, just please don't leave me again bell" he smiled. "I won't priness, now come join us were making smores" i licked my lips i loved smores. I joined everyone else by the fire and began roasting my marshmallow. Everyone repeated to tell me they were sorry and i honestly wasn't mad anymore.

I realised that i was 18 and only had a month until i was out of highschool. I knew this would be one of the last times all of us would be together for awhile, so what would be the point of being mad at them for something they were sorry about.

That night none of us bothered to go back to the hotel, instead we all sat by the fire in a circle. Bellamy wrapped his arms around me to keep me warm and we all talked about the crazy things that happened this year.

It was hard to be reminded about me accidentally killing my dad or getting kidnapped by Finn. But i wouldn't change any if it, because without all the shit that went on in my life and will probably continue to go on who knows if i would ever even become friends with Bellamy, Murphy or Octavia. Things could of been so different.

At some point when i was talking to Raven and laying on Bellamys chest i drifted to sleep. The next day i woke up, i was so cold. Then i looked around and realized everyone disappeared... again. I didn't even want to look for them anymore i was so angry.

Bellamy said he wouldn't leave again but yet here i was alone, at a beach, in the cold trying not to cry. I got up from the sand which was now stuck all over my body and headed back to the hotel to take a shower. I expected to see everyone in the lobby talking. Then once they saw me they would make up some excuse for leaving me alone again. But they wern't at the lobby and i honestly didn't care anymore.

I got to Me and Bellamys hotel room and took a shower to get off the dry sand on me. I put on my Pj's and sat on the bed in silence. An hour later i heard the hotel door creep open. I turned to see who i thought was Bellamy but it wasn't it was Octavia.
