A/N: So, if you are new to this story WELLCOME my friend! Hope you have a great time! So, this is a story I had started- I actually don't remember when I started it. I never managed to get to the 5th chapter but now for some reason I don't even know, inspiration kicked and I went back to it, edit the first four chapters and soon I will start on the 5th!
Anyway, you should start reading!
It was the Unity Day. It was the first day that Octavia walked out of her house. It was the day that everything changed.
Bellamy took Octavia to the Unity Day party. She could finally be outside their room by his side, since he was going to be there as a guard. They were going to meet Clarke, the only person that Bellamy trusted with his secret and the only person he had ever dated.
"Hey princess. How are you doing?" Bellamy asks Clarke as soon as they find each other and kisses her. They haven't seen each other for two days due to their schedules.
"Good." Clarke answers with a smile and turns to the worried Octavia next to Bellamy. Bellamy didn't not only tell Clarke he had a sister but she also visited him some times, wanting to meet Octavia in person and not only from Bellamy's words. The girls smile at each other before Clarke let go of Bellamy's hand.
"Hello O, I am happy to see you again." Clarke hugs the younger Blake, "This time, out of your house." she whispers near Octavia's ear and the younger girl nods to her only friend.
"I am happy to see you too, Clarke" she says and make their hug a little bit tighter before she let go.
Bellamy clears his throat from behind them and places a hand on Clarke's shoulder, giving her a squeeze, "You two stay here and have some fun. I will be around if something goes wrong." Bellamy promises and leans down, "One kiss for goodbye?"
Clarke throws her arms behind Bellamy's neck and kisses his cheek, "Don't worry. I'll keep both eyes on her." she whispered in his ear.
This suicide mission of after 16 years, taking Octavia out of their house was Bellamy's idea. He first told Clarke and talked about it with her. Being the chancellor's daughter means you can pull some strings when it needs to be done. That's how Bellamy's ended up being on guard duty tonight.
With a last smile, Bellamy leaves the two girls of his life and push pass the crowd and finally disappearing into it. The girls are dancing and making jokes and everything is going as it was planned. At some point, Clarke spotted Bellamy standing in the corner, watching the dance floor.
They can't tell how long it was after they met, but one moment they were dancing and the other the music cut off, leaving all the kids wondering what is happening. Then five guards walk inside, led by Marcus Kane. Clarke's eyes finds Bellamy's in a second and he hurries to them.
"Take off your masks." Marcus tells everyone and all the kids move to do as they are ordered.
"You didn't tell they there will be-"
"I didn't know, Bellamy! This must be all Kane. My mother didn't know anything." Clarke cuts him off, fear glowing in his eyes.
"What are we going to do? I have to take you out of here." Bellamy whispers to his sister and grabs Octavia's hand, looking for an exit where there are no guards. "This won't be easy..." he whispers to himself when he finds none.
They stay in silence for just a moment, Clarke and Octavia's eyes locked together before "I got this." Clarke whispers and turns to Bellamy, "Go near that door and be ready to run." Clarke continues.
Confused, Bellamy watched her as she walks away, "What are you going to do?" Bellamy asks her but he never got the answer. Clarke was already far away from them.
Bellamy and Octavia reach the door without any problems, probably because Bellamy is a guard. When Clarke finds them, she mouths an 'I love you' to Bellamy and turns to a guy she didn't know to punched him across the face. The young boy, surprised, falls on the floor and Clarke jumps on top of him, punching him again.
Bellamy watches in horror, "What is she doing?" he breathes, eyes wide open with fear. Even though his brain says no, his body takes a step forward, marching towards Clarke like most of the guards in the room.
Octavia grabs his wrist, "Bellamy, please, we have to go now." Octavia begs her brother. She is scared. "I don't know how to go back alone." And Bellamy turns to her. She is as worried as he is and swallows, taking her hand and run away from Clarke.
When the guards push Clarke upright, she search for the pair of brown eyes near the door and when she doesn't find them, she can finally breath again.
"She is crazy!" Bellamy shouts as soon as they are inside their house, "She got herself arrested. They are going to kill her for what she did." he yells to himself, sitting on the chair.
Don't worry. I'll keep save both eyes on her, her words play in repeat in his mind. This is his fault.
"I can't believe what she did to save me..." Octavia whispers to herself and sits next to Bellamy. He can hear her heart pounding like crazy against her ribs.
"We have to do something." Bellamy says and buries his fingers inside his hair and closes his eyes, "Think. Think." he whispers while going back and forth. But nothing seems to work inside his head now.
And suddenly, "She is not eighteen till next month." Octavia shouts and turns to her brother, managing a small smile.
"You are right!" Bellamy says and opens his eyes to look at her, "And?"
Octavia's face softens and she turns somewhere not to face him, "And I don't know." she answers sadly, tears threatening to roll down her sad face.
Bellamy takes a deep breathe, "I have to see her." he whispered and stands up. He is a guard after all; he will find a way to make it to her cell.
Clarke is lying on her new bed, staring at the ceiling. One hour ago, she was just excited to meet Bellamy and Octavia at the party. Half an hour ago she punched that boy and since then she is staring at the ceiling of her cell.
She is thinking about Bellamy, that she won't see him again, or touch him again. She regrets for kissing his cheek the last time she saw him, because that is the last kiss she will ever give him again. If she knew she would have capture his lips in hers and never let go.
The bright side of the situation is that I won't suffer much. In one month I will turn 18 and then get floated. At least I will go and find my parents, she is thinking. And Bellamy with Octavia escaped unnoticed, I knew it would work. At least my family is safe, tears gathering in her whispers a sorry to Bellamy who is not there, who she won't spend the rest of her life with as she always imagined.
She doesn't know when the door opened and now she stares at him in shock, "Bellamy?" she breaths and sits up on her bed.
"Clarke." he whispers and runs towards her, hugging her tight against his chest, "What were you thinking?" he breathes out and hugs her even more tightly, feeling every bit of her under his touch.
Clarke smiles against his neck, "I love you, Bell," she whispers and hugs him as tight as he does, "you two are the real family since my father's death," she chokes, " I couldn't let anything happen to you. I did the right thing." She ensures him and gently pushes Bellamy back to look at him in his eyes.
The worry and love is written all over his face, "Clarke…" Bellamy whispers her name but nothing else can escape his lips.
"Shhh, it's all right…" Clarke kisses him, this time on his mouth. She can't believe she is seeing him again and something tells her it will be the last time she sees him. "How did you get here?" the question escapes her lips without knowing it.
Bellamy gives her a smile, "I've got my connections, princess."
"Bell, please don't call me that…" she asks sadly, "now I feel like a 'princess' more than ever. Locked in my tower-"
"Waiting for your prince to save you." Bellamy cuts her off, "Clarke, I won't let them float you, I swear." Bellamy says and hugs Clarke tight again and she buries her face into her chest.
Bellamy can feel her sob, and a moment later she chokes out his name, "Bell...?"
"Yeah, Clarke?" he answers softly, not daring to let her go.
"I'm scared..." she says and sniffs, already losing the fight with the tears.
"Don't cry Clarke, I won't let anyone take you or Octavia from my side, never. I won't let you die because of what I did today, this is my entire fault and if someone is going to pay the price; that will be me, not you." he promises and Clarke pushes herself out of his arms.
"No, Bell! This is not your fault!" Clarke tells him, "Please don't do anything stupid. Don't do anything that can ruin what I did today to save you." Clarke strokes Bellamy's neck in her hands.
Bellamy looks away from her, "I can't let you die either Clarke." he whispers.
He is ready to cry too but he doesn't want to. He doesn't want Clarke to see that he is weak now. He can't be weak now, not now that she needs him. "I have to do something Clarke, I can't sit here for the next month, talking with you and then pretend that everything will be the same after-" he doesn't finish his thoughts; he doesn't even want to think about it.
"There is nothing you can do Bell… You know that…" Clarke tries to convince him. "And yes, nothing will be the same after that, but I want you to promise me that you will keep living your life, keep protecting your sister." she stops, "and yes, I allow you to find another girl and build your life again." she jokes and Bellamy smiles even though it is shattering his heart into a million pieces, "Please… God, I love you so much, I can't die knowing that I will be the reason you stop living your life. I want you to be happy, with or without me. I will be happy. I will be with my father. I want you to be happy too." Clarke finishes, her eyes full of tears. Bellamy couldn't hold his tears either.
"Do you hear what you are asking me, Clarke? You're not the only one that imagined we will have a life together." Bellamy says and wipes both their tears away, not wanting to see her like this.
"I know, Bellamy. I was thinking about it the last half an hour that I was locked up here. I know I ask you to think about a very difficult decision for you, but please, if you love me and don't want me to leave this life being unhappy, please, you have to promise me that will continue with your life." Clarke says and cups his face.
"Clarke, I can't- stop it." he says, "I can't do this…" and steps back, "I will figure something out," he takes one more step back but his eyes are locked with Clarke, "I promise, I will get you out of here." he gives her one last smile and walk out of Clarke's cell, leaving her alone once again.
Clarke doesn't know how long she stares at the closed door before she turns and buries her face into the pillow and start crying.
The next day Bellamy came back to her cell, they didn't talked too much about what is going to happen because they didn't want to waste time on it. He was there for her, and that was the only thing Clarke wanted him to do. Bellamy promished that he was going to visit her every day, even if it is only for five minutes.
He never broke his promise. Usually they were lying down on the bed, curled to each other, starring at the ceiling and talking about everything else but their last days. This was their daily routine. For someone else this would be boring but for them it was the reason to keep waking up the mornings.
