Sitting in one of the Dropship seats, I watched as Clarke injected the medicine into Raven, Finn next to her. Raven was passed out on the floor, Clarke said that just happened, so hopefully, we got her the medicine in time.

A layer of cold sweat covered my body; I felt weak. I had a pounding headache, and blood was slowly dripping from my head. My vision was getting a little fuzzing.

I could hear the chaos going on outside. It was a mixture of screams, swords slicing together, and gunshots. I stared out at the opening, a blank expression on my face. Everyone who wasn't fighting was crammed into the Dropship seeking shelter.

Miller came into the Dropship clutching his right shoulder. "Clarke, they're taking down the gate!"

"Good." Jasper said, popping his head through the hatch that led under the first floor. "Because I did it." Jasper said in confidence, he paused for a moment, and with a lot less certainty, he added, "I think."

A loud crash came from outside — the gate.

"I'm closing that door!" Miller shouted, pointing at the open metal door.

"Wait!" Clarke yelled, getting up from beside Raven. Finn followed right after her. "We've still got people out there. Bellamy's not back yet."

The mention of Bellamy's name caught my full attention. "What do you mean he's not back?!" I yelled, getting up trying to follow Clarke.

With my newfound energy, I followed Clarke and Finn out of the Dropship. Kids were throwing the grenades, trying to keep the Grounders back.

"Alright, Jasper did it everybody get inside now!" Clarke yelled over top of the explosions.

Arrows started flying through the air. "Look out!" Finn pulled both Clarke and me down behind the makeshift wall of sandbags. Letting out a scream, I overlooked the sandbags and stared out at the horrifying scene in front of me.

Miller came out of the Dropship and started to fire his gun at oncoming Grounders. Kids were being killed left and right; it was a complete disaster. We were just kids; no matter what we did, we didn't deserve this; we didn't deserve to have to go through this.

"There he is!" Finn pulled me out of my thoughts. He pointed over Clarke's shoulder, and sure enough, Bellamy was coming through the tunnel. My heart dropped; he was too far away.

"He's never gonna make it." Clarke realized.

"Bellamy, hurry!" I shouted as loud as I possibly could. Bellamy gave a quick look towards us before he started rushing over. He grabbed a discarded gun on the ground, trying to shoot it, only it didn't fire.

My heart was beating a thousand miles per hour. I ignored all the pain in my leg as I watched in horror with teary eyes.

A Grounder started to come towards Bellamy; the Grounder grabbed Bellamy and sent a punch to his face. Then the Grounder sent a hit to his stomach.

My breath caught in my throat. "No, please." I whispered, tears starting to stream down my face. "Bellamy!" I shouted again. All the pain in my leg was irrelevant at this point. The only thing that mattered was Bellamy.

The Grounder sent another hit to Bellamy's face. "He's killing him." Clarke cried from beside me.

Finn did something I would never have expected. He stood up, stopping a kid from running into the Dropship. Finn grabbed the gun in his hands. "Give me that." Finn ordered, ripping the gun from the kid's grasp.

Cocking the gun, Finn shot at the Grounder, attacking Bellamy. I was in shock, watching Finn moves towards Bellamy and the Grounder.

"Finn, no!" Clarke yelled, trying to reach out to him. Her voice cracked as she yelled.

"Finn!" I screamed along with her. If I was going to lose Bellamy, I couldn't lose Finn too.

Finn tackled the Grounder to the ground. Bellamy got up and started charging towards him.

Miller came up beside the two of us; he grabbed mine and Clarke's arms preventing us from going out there. "Look, you can't save everyone!" He shouted, pointing to the scene unfolding by the gates. "Let's go!"

I was frozen in place. I stared on, watching Finn and Bellamy continue to fight the Grounder. I never would've thought that they'd be fighting together.

Clarke didn't move either; we both stayed rooted in our place. Finn looked over at the two of us, his eyes full of fear. He looked at me, giving me a slight nod.

He then turned his gaze to Clarke, which was different from the look he gave me. He stared at her for longer, Finn gave Clarke a small nod signaling that it was okay to go, and she did.

"Finn!" I yelled again — my voice breaking.

At the sound of my voice, Bellamy turned his head to look at me. He gave me the same look Finn just gave Clarke. I shook my head at him, my face stained with tears. "No." I mouthed to him. I couldn't leave him. Bellamy gave me a nod telling me that I had to let him go.

I was going to lose everyone I cared about. I wanted to scream, run out to Bellamy and die with him.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to make that choice.

Nathan Miller started pulling back on my arm. "No!" I screamed, trying to get rid of the grip he had on me. "No, no! Bellamy!" Everything around me didn't matter anymore. I was just worried about Bellamy and Finn. "No!" I kept screaming as Miller tried to pull me back, ignoring his own pain.

Miller put his good arm around my waist and kept on pulling me back with force. He was pretty much carrying me at this point. "Jo, we have to go!"

We are on the ramp that enters the Dropship when I let into final scream out. "I can't leave them! I can't leave him!" Miller ignored me and kept pulling me towards the Dropship.

Once Miller pulled me in the Dropship, I fell on the ground from exhaustion. I was a complete mess; blood covered both my leg and head, I was sobbing, and my face was stained with a mixture of tears and soot. Laying on the cool floor, I watched Clarke pull the lever to close the Dropship door. I was pretty sure my heart shattered into a million pieces.

Now it's inevitable that Bellamy and Finn will die out there. Their fate is sealed. I've lost everyone I love... Finn... John...

Bellamy.

I wasn't sure what happened next because it all faded into black.
