ISLA

    IVE LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY DAYS IVE SPENT IN THIS BUNKER. The only thing that kept me alive was my memories, my happy memories. Finn, Jasper, Monty my new friendship with Octavia and hell.. Bellamy.

But memories unpacked from days where I didn't even think I would remember. It must be from the dehydration and lack of food given to me.

And that was Murphy.. or how I used to call him, Johnny.

Letting out a loud cry, I don't even know how I ended up here.. realising how it all linked back to my father I couldn't tell if I hate or miss him, either way he made my life since the beginning a living hell.

FLASHBACK

Reading through the latest news Jaha had sent round, It was the masquerade ball happening tonight. I really had no intentions going unless Raven or Finn came with me but I didn't want to third wheel.

That was until my door in a certain pattern, it was knocked two times with a third kick indicating it was John. Opening the door, he gave in with instant hug making me jump from the ground.

    "Whoa! Someone's excited?" I giggled childishly around his arms. He gave me tickets to the ball happening tonight and mood changes.

   "Tonight. Us." He said those two simple words, yet so complicated. "I know it might be risky but look we have masks on no one will tell it's us. So, Isla Elizabeth Kane, will you come to the dance with me?"

    "Murphy-" I started.

He cut me off, "Don't call me that." He whispered. "You call me Murphy when you're serious and if you don't want to go just-"

Before I let him finish, I attached my lips onto his savouring the taste of John Murphy. He was the last person I'd think I fall for, with his troubled family problems and bad boy persona. My dad thought I'd go for someone in his status but I could never.

   "I take that as a yes?" He fanned between my lips.

Biting my lower lip, I tried to hide my rosy cheeks in his neck, "Course."

     I got ready for the ball with my face mask that John slipped through in the card. I headed my way to the the main station following the music, I never liked human interaction since I was always closed up in my room.

I saw Jasper and his infamous goggles munching in the corner so I decided to scare him. "Did you miss me?" I snuck behind him but he wasn't scared.

"No actually." He sarcastically replied, throwing one arm around me.

"Where's your partner in crime?" I asked mentioning Monty.

"Where's your boyfriend?"

Sighing, I skimmed around the room not catching the boy in the room. "I don't know, but I came for him." Rolling my eyes. "Who knows maybe she he's running late?"
