It's just that I fell in love with a war. Nobody told me it ended, and it left a pearl in my head and I roll it around every night just to watch it glow.

BELLAMY WAS DISTRACTED FOR most of the early morning by the revelation he had stumbled upon. He remembered the day he first met Casey clear as day, but some of the finer details were gritty from the panic he had felt.
⠀⠀⠀Her mom, Rian fucking King, had been a large part of Octavia's childhood. The only person outside of his family who knew about Octavia's existence. It was risky, but as the years went by, he noticed less and less of his mom selling herself for information. Rian could get access to that and warn Aurora Blake about incoming inspections.
⠀⠀⠀And then, when he had been stupid enough to think he could let Octavia have one magical night, a solar flare ruined it. Bellamy tried to send Octavia back home on her own, but it was no use. She couldn't remember the path after only leaving once. Rian had tried to intervene, but Shumway could sniff out a blackmail opportunity like a hound. Then Casey appeared from nowhere and punched Shumway as a distraction. It was more than likely to save her mom's ass, but it was him who led her to getting floated.
