Clarke's POV

I've been in love with my best friend for a little over 2 years now. She doesn't even know it though. Yea, she is a girl and she is the best person ever. Her name is Raven Reyes. She is a badass and a mechanic which makes her even more hotter. After she came down to the ground from the Ark, we have been inseparable.

"Hey, um can I talk to you for a minute?" Raven asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at her and smiled.

"Sure. What's up Raven?" I asked curiously. She looked down and was fidgeting with her hands.

"I heard people talk around camp. They keep telling me that you're a big lesbian and that you have feelings for me. Is it true? I'm extremely sorry but I don't swing that way." Raven blurted out. I was taken aback by what she said.

'Dammit! I told only two people! Great! I forgot that she was a homophobe and now she hates me! Can my life get worse than it already is?' I thought to myself. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her.

"Um..uh... A-are you against m-me liking y-you? W-why would it m-matter if I-I had feelings for y-you or not?" I stuttered out. She looked at me.

"I am not into girls. That's what I have a problem with. It matters because you have feelings for me and I don't like you like that and I'm not gay!" Raven states angrily. I looked at her, but she looked at me with disgust.

"Raven, just hea-" I went to say as I stepped toward her, but she took a step back and shook her head.

"Don't come near me and don't talk to me. I can't even look at you any-" She said but I cut her off with a kiss. She pulled back and slapped me across the face. She had rage pouring out of her. I had tears rolling down my face but I didn't look at her.

"I love you Raven. I'm not sorry for kissing you, but I'm sorry that I ever met you. I hoped that if you ever found out about my feelings for you, that you would still be my friend. I guess I was wrong about you Raven. You lost your best friend. Are you happy now?" I cried out to her as I ran off. I left out of Arkadia. I just kept running and ignored everyone who called my name.

I stopped running when I got to the drop ship. I dropped down to my knees and cried myself to sleep.

When I woke up, it was dark outside. I stood up from where I was and went to lay on one of the beds we built. I pulled out water and food that I had in a bag that I snagged while running here, and I began to eat. After I was done eating I put the rest of the food and water back in the bag and I went back to sleep.

A few days have passed since I left the camp. I missed it a lot, but I really am glad to have gotten away from it for a little bit. The tight space, same faces, and Raven. I need a break mostly from Raven. I already ruined our friendship because I had to fall in love with her. I hate that she doesn't like me like that.

I was starting to dig through the bag when I heard talking. I grabbed my gun from off the floor. It sounded static, like from a walkie talkie. I dug around the bag and saw that it was indeed a walkie talkie. The voice came on again.

"Clarke if you have a walkie talkie and you hear this please answer me. I want to make sure you are safe." My mom said. I sighed in relief. I was glad that it wasn't Raven.

"I'm ok mom. I'm at the drop ship. Sorry I didn't tell you where I was going, but I had to get away." I explained to her. I heard her sigh in relief over the radio.

"I'm glad you're ok. I was so worried about you. I miss you a lot." I froze at the voice. I wasn't expecting to hear Raven's voice.

"R-Raven! W-where did m-my mom go to? Were you l-listening to o-our conversation?" I asked stuttering. I was still upset with her but I was a bit glad that she was worried about me.

"She had to go deal with something. I want to talk to you, if that is alright with you."Raven said with more of a question in tone. I let out a sigh.

"I don't want to talk to you. What happened to you saying that you didn't want me to talk to you anymore?" I said harshly to her. I didn't want to be mean, but she hurt me. I thought she would react differently.

"I'm sorry Clarke! I didn't mean to treat you like that. Can you please come back so we can talk?" She asked and I heard the raspiness in her voice. Had she been crying?

I didn't answer her back. I packed up everything I brought with me. I made my way towards camp. It took me an hour and a half to get there.

When I walked through the gate, I was knocked down with a bone crushing hug. We both fell to the ground. I looked to see that it was Raven. I pushed her away and stood up.

"I'm still upset with you. I hoped that you wouldn't treat me different, but you did." I cried out. Raven has tears in her eyes too. She stepped towards me and took my hand.

"Clarke, I am so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you, and even though I did, I swear to you that I will never hurt you again. I've been in love with you over a year now and it shocked me when you confirmed what everyone kept saying. You are in love with me. I wanted to tell you on that day, but something came over me and I couldn't do it, and I'm sorry that I slapped you when you kissed me. I didn't mean to hurt you." Raven rambled out. Did I hear her correctly? She loves me too?

Without saying anything back to Raven, I pulled her in for a kiss. We stood there until oxygen became too much. I pulled away and looked at her.

"I love you too. More than anything!" I exclaimed. We kissed each other again. We pulled away when we heard clapping.

The whole camp was surrounding us. Octavia came up to us.

"It's about damn time! I thought you two were never going to see how much you two love each other." Octavia exclaimed. Everyone laughed and agreed with her.

"Well I'm just very happy that I have the love of my life in my arms now. I will never let go of you." Raven said to me. I smiled and kissed her.

I am truly happy that everything worked out. I'm glad hat I finally have the girl of my dreams. I hope we can stay together for ever.
