I fell asleep in Bell and Tavia's tent, but when I wake up, neither of them are there. I walk outside and over to Monty.
"Hey Monty." I say leaning against the dropship wall beside him.
"Hey Briar. We haven't talked in a while." He says, sounding a bit upset.
"Yeah, I guess I just got caught up with everything going on. I'll try to talk to you more." I look at him while saying this.
"Sounds good." He says, smiling widely at me.
"So, how's contacting the Ark going?" I ask while looking back to the crowd of people standing around the camp.
"It's going. We still haven't made contact yet, but I have a feeling we will soon." He explains to me.
"That's good. Let me know if you do. I have someone I want to talk to." I say, my smile fading some.
"Of course. I'm going to go see Jasper. Would you like to come with?" He asks motioning towards the opening of the dropship.
"Umm, sure. Only for a bit though. I need to find someone." I say and a smile spreads across his face. I follow him into the part of the dropship where Jasper is.
We talk for a bit. Then I head outside to find Bellamy. I see Clarke crying into Finn's chest. I walk over and put my hand on her back.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I say. She looks up from Finn's chest. Her face is covered in tears.
"Wells was murdered." She says while crying.
"Oh honey, come here." I motion for her to cry on my shoulder. She moves over to my chest and starts sobbing. Finn walks off. I rub up and down her back and hum a song, trying to calm her.
"It's okay. Shh. It's fine." I say soothingly.
-
After a while, she calms down and stops crying. She pulls away from my chest. I brush the hair out of her face.
"Thank you." She says while forcing a small smile.
"I'm here anytime. I understand how you feel. I'll be around if you need to talk." I smile and touch her shoulder. Then I walk away, looking for Bellamy.
