Chapter 15: Raven
Bellamy tends to the stab wound on my leg, his curly hair damp with sweat. I don't deserve this, after what I did to him. So why did he help me a minute ago, and why now?
"This looks pretty bad," he says, breaking the awkward silence.
"I'm sure Clarke could -" I stop when the hard-hitting information from Zak makes a reappearance. "Or not."
"We might just have to bandage it up for now." He pushes himself up so he's looking directly into my eyes. I bow my eyes from his intimidating stare.
"What is it?" I ask.
He sighs and breaks his hold. "Why did you do it? Why did you kiss Zak?"
"You're still not over that?"
"No, Raven, and I don't plan to get over it until I hear an explanation from you."
"I don't have an explanation for you, okay? It was stupid, I was stupid, it was all just st -"
The sudden force of Bellamy's lips on mine silences me, the thin layer of stubble a nice contrast with his soft skin. I kiss him back, beginning to regret it, but push the thoughts to the back of my mind.
"I'm sorry," he says. "But I can't do this."
"Do what?"
"I can't keep getting my heart smashed by you; each time we get back together we end up falling apart again. And it's not helping the situation right now."
"I can change, I promise you. Please don't end this."
"I'm not ending this, I'm just putting it on hold."
He kisses my forehead before leaving through the door of the drop ship. The tears in my eyes blur my vision of him leaving, so I look down into my lap. I grab a roll of bandage from the first-aid box and tie some around the wound. I have no motivation to do anything else with it.
"Raven?" I turn around to see Octavia standing in the doorway.
"Yeah?"
"Zak's been tied back up in one of the other drop ship rooms. Finn said he's free for torture."
"Wait, Finn said that?"
"Trying to get even with the grounders, I guess. No one knows what they could be doing to Clarke right now."
"Sign me right up; he deserves it for what he's done."
"Right through there." She points to the door opposite this one, slightly ajar.
I push the door open, wiping my eyes with the backs of my hands. Zak's arms are bound to the walls of the drop ship, like Lincoln's were when we needed to save Finn.
"That's for Clarke!" Finn shouts, throwing a punch at Zak's jaw. Zak spits on the ground, his saliva mixed with blood. Finn sits back down on a chair facing him, waiting for him to try something that would result in another punch.
"Mind if I have a go?" I ask. Finn turns to me, his face streaked with anger and bags under his eyes.
"Sure. There's no point in me wasting my time with this douche." I expect him to get up but he stays seated.
"Shouldn't you be looking after Harper?"
"She's talking with Abby."
"Still?"
"She hasn't shut up since she started." He laughs half-heartedly.
"You're gonna stay, then?"
"I wouldn't mind watching the show."
