Alex's POV:

I can't believe what I'm looking at, right there in front of me lays, Wells... dead 6ft underneath the ground. Someone found him the s'morning, apparently he was outside the wall, and the grounders got him. Clarke was standing right beside me staring down at the grave as well.

"They got Wells just outside the wall" Finn said as he walked up to us. We turn around to face him, looking away from our lost friend.

"Says the guy who just spent another night exploring the woods all by himself" Clarke says.

"And to be honest how are you still alive" I say.

"Because I'm reckless. And irresponsible." I shake my head agreeing with him. "I got you something" Finn then pulls out a colored pencil from his pocket. Clarke then grabs it out of his grasp.

"Where did you get this?" Clarke asks.

"The art supply store"

"Bullshit" I say.

"I know when we were kids... Wells was always giving me ink, charcoal, just anything I could draw with, really. I found out later that he was trading his own stuff to give it to me. He didn't want me to know that, either. He let me hate him so that I wouldn't hate my mother" Clarke says.

"I know" Finn says.

"My mother killed my father. Just wish there was something I could do. To tell her I know. Make her feel what I'm..." Clarke then stops talking and starts to walk away.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"To make her feel it"

We follow Clarke all the way up to the second floor on the drop ship where Monty is. I can't figure out what she is doing until she puts out her right arm towards Monty. She's going to take off her wristband.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yes! I did it. It's still operational" Monty says holding up the wristband he just got off of Clarke. Finn must have been staring at Clarke, because she starts talking to him.

"What? Monty needed a working wristband"

"And you needed to punish your mother"

"Well I mean there's no other way for her to do that expect for taking off that stupid wristband." I say.

"Look, they're running out of air, and we need their help. My mother thinking I'm dead is only temporary."

"Not if I can't patch it through the dropship mainframe. I can do it. We'll be talking to The Ark by nightfall" Monty says.

"Or if it doesn't work at all" I say

"Hey, Monty can do it just got to believe in him, and also your starting to sound like Bellamy" Clarke says as my eyes widen to want she said.

"I do believe in him it's just if it works I don't really want to see my Dad" Clarke puts her arm around my shoulders.

"Your going to have to talk to him some time"

"I know just not so soon" I say as I remove her arm and head down to find anything that I can do to get my mind off of my Dad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk out of the dropship to find them building the wall. I look over to see Charlotte tying somethings with some wire. I walk over to her and start helping her.

"Did you have any nightmares last night?"

"No, I think what Bellamy told me is working"

"Well that is perfect, and hey if you do get any just find me ok"
