The sky above us {book: 2}

8. Secret love

Octavia
Clarke sprung into my arms, pulling me closer so i could barley breath. I wrapped my arms around her torso, taking in the peachy yet earthy smell that radiated off of her.

"What happened? Where is the grounder?" She asked as she pulled back. She wiped away a few sweat soaked strands of hair from my face.

"He took me to some river and then just let me go. He cleaned up my wound and gave me some type of medicine, I think he was trying to help me." I smiled while examining Clarkes face.

She was extremely beautiful, the kind of beautiful that made you jealous. She had the most stunning eyes I'd ever seen, her cheeks were always flushed, complementing her pale complexion, and her hair was the prettiest shade of gold.

It was hard to admit to myself that I didn't have feelings for her, i just could never tell her that. When i first met Clarke in confinement she wasn't the only girl i ever loved. There was this one girl named Anna.

She had long dusty brown hair, striking hazel eyes and the cutest smile. I loved her and she loved me but one day we lost all of that.

"Want to know something" Anna giggled as she played with my hair.

"Yeah" i smiled. She stopped braiding my hair and moved around to face me. She took my hands in hers and kissed the top of them.

"You know how i love you." She whispered.

"Of course, i love you too." I nervously smiled.

"I want you to know, that if anything bad happens to-" she started to say before i cut her off.

"I wont let anything bad happen to you, Anna. I love you." I pleaded to her. She sighed and gave me a peck on the cheek.

"Octavia, i just want you to know ill always be in here." She said as she placed her hand over my heart. I felt a tear slip from my eye but Anna quickly wiped it away.

"Please dont cry, not for me" She whispered. I was about to speak when the door to our cell flung open and three guards stepped into the room, guns drawn.

Me and Anna quickly stood up and i felt her grip onto my hand.

"Anna Marin, get up against the wall." One guard instructed. I looked over to Anna with tears in my eyes. She gave me a reassuring look and stepped over to the wall.

"Hands up!" Another yelled and she obeyed. They cuffed her and started dragging her away.

"No! Stop it!" I screamed as i ran towards Anna. One of the guards grabbed me by the hands and restrained me as i watched her being taken away.

"Anna!" I choked out as tears flowed down my face. I saw a tear slip from her eye but a smile crept up on her face telling me everything was going to be ok.

"I love you" she mouthed to me before the cell door locked closed. I fell to the floor and dragged my legs up to my chest. She was gone.

After Anna was taken i was moved into a knew cell and thats when i met Clarke. I wasn't open to meeting anybody knew after that night but Clarke just stood out to me. She was caring and tried to get along with me.

"O? You okay?" I was interrupted by Clarke wiping away a tear I hadn't known i shed.

"Yeah, sorry" i nervously laughed.

"Lets go see Bellamy" she smiled. I nodded and followed her through the forest until i saw a orange flow illuminating the air.

I walked off towards the light and smiled when i saw Bellamys sleeping body up against a tree. I walked over and gently tapped his shoulder.
