Clarke stood at the back of the tent, waiting for the first meeting with the grounders begin. Just a week ago, Clarke and Anya successfully agreed to create terms and live in peace. They negotiated the new boarder between them, the river, their only way across to the other side was from the bridge. In order for one side to go to the other, they needed permission from the other side. The only person who could go back and forth without, was Lincoln.

After they finished their terms and rules, they agreed to meet with Lincoln once a week to update any news from the grounders. She looked around at the boys who were already inside the tent, Jasper and Monty, having their own conversation and.. Bellamy, focused and concentrated. Octavia left to find Lincoln, and Finn was probably doing who knows what with Raven. She frowned as she felt a slight pain in her chest and a tear in her eye thinking about it. She looked up and noticed Bellamy was looking at her, with a confused look. 'are you okay?' he mouthed, with a caring face.

Nobody ever cared about Clarke's feelings, maybe because they thought she didn't have any. Whatever it was, here was Bellamy, actually concerned about how she was. She looked at him with the best small smile she could and looked away. Before he could worry anymore, Lincoln, Octavia, Finn & Raven walked into the tent all at once.

As the meeting began, Lincoln started out with the biggest piece of information. "In our world, the only way for a man," he looked at Bellamy. "and a woman," he then turned to Clarke "to rule, is for them to be married. If they are not wed, the leaders can separate and can cause a civil war. Something we do not want with one of our allies. And my people see your leadership as something that will create that."

Everybody's mouth in the room drops, their eyes going back and forth to Bellamy and Clarke. except for Clarke's.

"We aren't going to have a civil war. And what do they want us to do about it?" Clarke said confused picking up a canteen of water.

Lincoln laughed slightly at everybody's reaction then turned to Clarke.

"They want you and Bellamy to get married." All that's heard in the room is the loud sound of the water falling to the floor. Clarke's eyes wide and in shock. "Me and Bellamy?! Married?!" She practically yelled. "That is NOT happening! Never will I marry somebody I practically hate!" She felt like she was going to pass out, to she ran out of the tent and into the rain. She knew she had to do it there was no other option.

After Clarke left, Octavia smiled and in her head she did a little "woohoo!" in her head like the one she did when they first set foot on the ground. She always saw tension between her brother a Clarke, and finally they would have to admit it. Monty and Jasper did a small high five because they too saw their tension. Raven smiled to herself because she knew Clarke would no longer be a threat to Finn and Ravens relationship. and finn, just sat in the corner and pouted.

Bellamy smiled as Lincoln said the words. He secretly had some feelings for her and now would finally be allowed to show them. He felt hurt when she yelled and stormed out. He knew she was in some shock, but did she really hate him?

He knew when she needed to be alone, and this time wasn't it. Bellamy got up and ran out of the tent, noticing the rainfall amount increasing by the minute. He knew Clarke would catch a cold out here. He ran over to where she sat, all curled up in a ball by the dying out fire.

"You're going to catch a cold out here princess." He said calmly

"I'm sorry I said all those things back there." She said "I don't hate you I just—"

"You don't want to marry somebody you barely know. I feel the same way. But don't worry about it now, we should get back inside before we both get sick."

"I can't go back in there." she said quietly.

So without another question, Bellamy picked her up princess style and started walking away from the other tent where the meeting was being held.

"Wha—? Hey! Where are we going?" She asked

"My tent. You can dry off and sleep here tonight. I promise I dont expect anything from you and I'll sleep on the other side of—"

"Bellamy. Its fine. We have to get used to sleeping next to each other, might as well start now."

He chuckled as he carried her into the warmth of his tent, finally out of the cold wet rain.
