Anythings Possible

The aftermath part 2 [9]

This chapter is in Bellamy's POV and it's taking place during the dance and the party. Any questions just ask!

Bellamy POV

After Clarke and O leave, I go upstairs to get changed. I put my Christmas music on and start getting ready.

(Just imagine Bellamy shirtless singing this song)
It's a wonderful feeling
Feel the love in the room
From the floor to the ceiling
It's that time of year
Christmastime is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you his love
And everything's okay
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

Next thing I know I am holding one of the girls hairbrushes and jamming to my music. Hey don't judge, I have a soft spot for Christmas.

Octavia and I used to make hot chocolate and watch "Elf" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in the morning before we opened the few presents our mom bought us. After she died it was hard for the both of us to deal with it. I took it the hardest. The part that hurt the most was when O started dating this guy.

His name was Ralph and he was horrible. When we first met him he was sweet and comforting to Octavia but I was always skeptical of him. Little did I know he was a clingy bitch and abusive to my little sister. Never touch my sister.

I look at my phone and see the time.

"Shit I'm gonna be late" I say out loud and put my work uniform on. I work at the local hardware store.

5 minutes later I walk out the door and get in my car. Looking at the clock, it's 6:30. The dance starts in 1 hour. I think to myself.

Okay so you might all be wondering why I'm not at the dance. 1) I do have to work. 2) I hate dressing up and dances. And 3) I like... wait you don't need to know. Okay you really wanna know? Fine. I maybe, a little, just kinda like Clarke. I'm still sorting out the feelings but the one thing I know is that I have some sort of feelings for her. Shut up. Yes I have a soft side.

"Bellamy. Your late." My manager, Matt, says as I walk in the door of my work.

"Only by one minute!" I walk to the back of the store and put my stuff on, zoning out my manager going on about how I start work at 6:15 and it's 6:30.

"Hey Bellamy. I'm serious. You have to be at work on time or I have to fire you." He says.

"Okay I'm sorry." I sympathize, "my sister and her friends had their winter formal tonight."

"Okay but just be here. Why aren't you at the dance?" Matt questions.

"I don't like dances." I state plainly. "Clarke was really sad but she has a date so she's fine."

"Well it's sounds like someone's jealous." Matt says raising his eyebrows in that way that says hmmmm.

"No I don't. She is my sister's best friend I can't." I say.

"But doesn't she live with you?" He questions.

"Yes but that doesn't mean I'm gonna get with her." I say as the bell rings signaling that a person has entered the store.

"This conversation is not over." Matt says walking to the back.

I turn around to see the customer that walked in. All I could see is the top of his head but he looked like he needed a haircut. Badly. As he walks closer I realize who this guy is. Ralph. The jackass that hurt my baby sister.
