Moving Day

Hey guys! Another disclaimer- I will be referring to "the trio" a lot, and it's just Murphy, Alex and Raven. (Saying 'the trio' is much easier then typing it out.) It will be explained a little bit in this chapter. Hope you enjoy!

It's been about 1 month since Clarke met Bellamy and he offered her a room in his house. Bellamy has been stopping over at her apartment to help her with moving all her stuff. But, today is the day that Clarke joins Mr. Blake's household along with six other roommates. Bellamy has been telling Clarke stories about the others while helping her move. Clarke thinks that she is really gonna love Murphy, Alex and Raven. All three of them have been pretty good friends for a long time, they they each have the same personality. Sarcastic, Funny, Caring, Crazy, and pretty much complete badasses. Bellamy has told Clarke about the time the trio made a plan to toilet paper their professor back in college. How they know each other really confuses Clarke, but she thinks she gets the gist. Murphy and Alex have been best friends pretty much since birth, and they became friends with Raven in elementary school. Bellamy joined them along with Octavia in sixth grade. All of them went to the same college, and that's where they met Monty and Harper.
"It's all so confusing," Clarke says, as she packs a box.
"What is?" Bellamy looks up at Clarke.
"How you know each other." Clarke meets Bellamy's eyes, "There is a lot of you."
"It's not that confusing." Bellamy laughs.
"Oh whatever. Help me pack up this box."
"As you wish, princess," Bellamy says as he grabs a lamp, "Are you excited?"
"Yeah, of course. I'm so excited to meet everyone. They sound great."
"They are."
Bellamy and Clarke finally finish packing boxes and putting it in the car. Bellamy crosses to the passenger side of the car over to Clarke.
"Ready to go?" Bellamy asks.
"Yeah just one second," Clarke says.
"What are you doi-"
"HEY ASSHOLE!" Clarke yells. Just at that second, Atom walks out confused. Then, Clarke goes into her pocket and grabs two eggs. She hands one to Bellamy, and it was like in that second Bellamy knew exactly what to do. Clarke and Bellamy throw the eggs into Atoms direction. Clarke's egg hit the building behind Atom, and Bellamy's egg hit Atom right in the face.
"Nice shot!" Clarke yells as they hurry into the car.
"Yeah, Murphy, Raven and Alex are going to absolutely love you," Bellamy says looking into Clarke's eyes.
"I've been practicing."
"Practicing what? Throwing eggs?" Bellamy laughs.
"No, practicing my pranks." Clarke says.
"You won't need to do that. They would love you anyway." Bellamy says. Bellamy and Clarke look in to each others eyes and then break. Bellamy starts to drive to their house. After about ten minutes, they arrive at the house. Bellamy parks the car and Clarke gets out of the car.
"Holy shit!" Clarke yells. The house is huge and beautiful. It looks like a mansion. Bellamy walks over and stands next to Clarke.
"This house is beautiful." Clarke says as she looks into Bellamy's eyes.
"Well we can afford it considering there are seven people paying for it." Bellamy watches Clarke. "Well, now eight."
Clarke smiles and goes to the trunk. Bellamy runs inside to grab everyone to help carry in the boxes. There isn't a lot of boxes. There are only two boxes for Clarke's clothes, and seven boxes for Clarke's makeup, hair stuff, pictures, etc. Clarke turns to the door and sees everyone run out. Clarke walks over to meet everyone.
"Hi, I'm Clarke."
"I know. Bellamy has told us so much about you." Octavia says. Clarke looks over to Bellamy who begins to blush. Clarke goes around hugging everyone: First Murphy, then Raven, and then Alex.
"So you guys are the big pranksters." Clarke says.
"Who snitched?" Murphy barks.
"You'll learn to ignore him. I did a long time ago. I'm Alex."
"It's nice to meet you, Alex." Clarke smiles.
"And I'm Raven, as you probably ready know. Im the chief of this trio."
"Woah, woah, woah. I'm the chief." Alex and Murphy say at the same time. Clarke looks startled at the fact they said it together.
"Yeah. Get used to that. They basically have twin telepathy." Raven states.
"But they aren't related?" Clarke asks.
"Yeah. That's why it's weird." Monty chimes in.
"I'm Monty, and this is my beautiful wife, Harper."
"It's so nice to finally meet you!" Harper says.
"Same here!" Clarke smiles. After a while of introduction, everyone grabs a box. Bellamy leads Clarke to her room.
"Well, here you are, princess." Bellamy says pointing to the room. "We'll give you some time to unpack and get settled." Bellamy says.
"Thank you, again. For everything. I would probably be homeless right now if it wasn't for you." Clarke smiles. Then Clarke rises into her tip toes and kissed Bellamy on the cheek. Bellamy looks down at Clarke and smirks. They stand there staring at each other for a while.
"Damn it." Bellamy says.
"What?"
"I left Murphy in charge of your boxes."
"Well that wasn't a good idea was it?" Clarke says.
"I'm going to go see what he probably broke."
"Murphy, you whore, where are you?!" Bellamy yells as he runs down the stairs. Clarke laughs and enters her room. She starts putting away the boxes that Murphy didn't lose. At least Clarke has her pictures and clothes. Clarke grabs a picture of her and her dad and puts it on a night stand next to her bed. She sits on the bed looking at it. Then she hears a creek behind her and turns around to see Bellamy standing at the door. Clarke stands up, startled.
"Uh- Sorry, Sorry. I was just, uhm. I have your boxes. Murphy and Alex we're pushing them down the neighbors slide."
Clarke laughs. "Thank you."
"No problem." Bellamy looks over to where Clarke was just sitting. "Is that your dad?"
"Uh, yeah." Clarke says, and Bellamy walks over to the picture. "He died three years ago."
Bellamy looks over at Clarke.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Bellamy says as Clarke holds back tears. "My mom died when Octavia was eight. She left me to take care of her when I was only eighteen."
"It sucks, doesn't it." Clarke says.
"Yeah." Bellamy turns back to Clarke and puts his hand on her shoulder. "It gets better. I'm here if you want to talk."
"Thanks, Bellamy."
"Anytime, Princess." Bellamy removes his hand. "Okay now I have to make sure the trio aren't harassing people."
Clarke laughs, "Have fun."
"Always." Bellamy laughs and walks out.
Clarke finishes setting up her room about two hours later, just in time for dinner. Bellamy told Clarke stories about how they sit outside every night together and eat dinner. They live in South Carolina, right on the water. So they admire the sky and beach at night. Clarke walks downstairs and sees Bellamy and Octavia cooking up something in the kitchen. Monty, Harper, Alex, Murphy, and Raven all cuddling on the couch watching The Office.
"Hey, Clarke! Come watch with us!" Alex says.
"Gosh stop being a fan girl over her." Murphy groans. Alex rolls her eyes and waves her hand to Clarke symbolizing Clarke to come sit on the couch.
"This is gonna be a tight fit," Raven says scooting over. Clarke plops in the middle of Raven and Alex. Alex and Murphy are practically on top of each other and so are Raven and Clarke. Monty and Harper are minding their own business on the opposite side.
"Okay dinner is ready, kids." Bellamy says.
"SHHHH!" Alex yells. Her favorite episode of the office is on and she hates when people talk during it. After a couple minutes, the episode wraps up, and they all get up and walk outside. Harper and Monty hold hands out and Harper sits on Monty's lap.
"They're so cute." Alex says. Murphy looks down at Alex and smiles. He then wraps his arm around her. Alex is weirdly short. She is 5'2, and Murphy is 6'0 so they are really funny standing next to each other. Bellamy walks out the doors balancing all the food on his body. Clarke sees him and runs over to help him.
"Oh no, I've got it," Bellamy says obviously struggling.
"Come on, it's the least I can do," Clarke says.
"It's fine, go sit."
"Please let me help."
"Okay, fine. Take the chicken from off my shoulder." Bellamy says.
"That's a sentence I never thought I would hear." Murphy jokes as he gets up to help as well. For hours they tell Clarke embarrassing stories about each other -mostly Bellamy- and exchange laughs. After a while, everyone puts their dishes back in the kitchen, and Clarke starts to wash them.
"Goodnight Clarke." Monty says as he grabs Harpers hand.
"Thanks again for doing the dishes, I really appreciate it!" Harper says.
"It was no problem. Goodnight guys." Clarke responds. Raven walks over to Clarke to help her.
"Hey, having fun yet?" Raven asks as she hops onto the counter.
"Oh yes, this is my hobby," Clarke says and Raven laughs.
"Where are Murphy and Alex?" Clarke asks.
"Oh, they're walking the beach."
"Oh, okay." Clarke responds. Clarke hands Raven dishes, and Raven puts them away. As they reach their final dish, out of the corner of her eye Clarke sees Bellamy sitting by the water by himself.
"Go talk to him." Raven says.
"What?" Clarke asks, never taking her eyes off Bellamy.
"Go, I'll be fine. Besides, it's your first day here. You shouldn't be doing the dishes."
"Thanks, goodnight Raven."
"Goodnight Clarke."
Clarke opens the sliding door and starts to walk towards Bellamy. His shirt and hair are blowing in the wind.
"All alone, Mr. Blake?" Clarke says as she sits down next to him. Bellamy looks up at Clarke.
"I guess so, princess."
"Well I can go if you want to be alone, I just thought you needed some company."
"No, no. Company is fine." Bellamy says, watching the ocean.
"Why are you all by yourself?"
"It's a secret."
"Oh c'mon, Bellamy," Clarke nudges him. "Your secret safe with with me." Clarke says.
"It's not a big deal, really. I just like watching the stars."
"Ooo. You do have a soft side." Clarke jokes.
"Very funny, princess."
"I like to watch the stars too." Clarke says. She can feel Bellamy's gaze on her. "Sometimes I wish I was a star."
"How so?" Bellamy says, still watching her.
"Sometimes I just want to be far away. I just don't feel like I fit in anywhere." Clarke watches the waves reach her toes. Bellamy's gaze is still on her.
"You fit in with me, princess."
Clarke smiles. A couple minutes pass and Clarke begins to laugh.
"What?"
Clarke stands up and grabs Bellamy's arm to raise him.
"Oh, nothing. I was thinking about doing this." Clarke pushes Bellamy into the water. Bellamy rises out of the water with a smirk on his face.
"Good luck, princess."
"With what?" Clarke asks.
"This." Bellamy grabs Clarke's waist and flings her into the water. They spend hours laughing and splashing each other. Clarke was right. She does fit in with Bellamy Blake.
