I woke up long before Bellamy and felt much better and well rested, I had a dull headache and my throat felt odd but other then that I was ok. I still kept my head laying on Bellamy's chest as I listened to his resting heart beat. I kept my eyes shut as I relished in the feeling of being so close to Bellamy, I felt safe and at home.

I listened around the drop ship as people woke up and started to move around indicating they felt better, I felt Bellamy stir a few times before he groaned as he came to. I heard someone walk over to Bellamy and I "Here." The voice let me know it was Murphy.

"Get the hell away from me." I heard Bellamy growl as best he could before I felt water droplets hit my face "Hey be careful she is asleep, Bellamy, you're sick, okay? I'm just trying to help. Here." Murphy said "When I get better, if you're still here--" Bellamy started his threat but stopped as Clarke interrupted.

"Hey, I got this one. Yeah." Murphy sighed and I assumed rolled his eyes since that is his signature. "Here." Clarke spoke and I felt Bellamy reach and grab something "You feeling better?"  "Yeah." Clarke answered "That's good. You seen Octavia?"

"She was up all night helping people. Murphy gave her a break." Bellamy scoffed at Clarke's words "Don't tell me you trust him now." "Trust? No. I do believe in second chances, though." There was a pause as I heard Clarke speak again "You two care for each other, don't you?"

I felt Bellamy nod "Yeah we do, she's family. Octavia, Rachel, and I. They're my people." My heart swelled at his words as I felt him pull me closer to him if that was even possible. "It's almost dawn. Better get everyone inside. If we lock the doors, maybe the Grounders will think we're not home." Bellamy told Clarke.

From what I've gathered is that Raven made a bomb while I was out and Jasper and Finn were to place it and blow the bridge up, by the tone in Bellamy's voice he didn't think they could do it. "Not everyone is sick." Clarke reminded, "Sick is better than dead." Bellamy solemnly told her.

"You don't think Finn and Jasper are gonna pull it off." "Do you?" Bellamy countered I heard Clarke sigh before standing up "I'll get everyone inside."

Shortly after Clarke left I decided to get up, Bellamy noticed I was moving because he spoke up "How are you feeling?" I opened my eyes and saw nothing but concern on his face "Better, I have a dull headache and my throat feels weird. How are you?" Bellamy smiled when I told him I was ok.

Bellamy had dried blood around his mouth and was still pale, "Better then before, still not 100% " I nodded as he handed me a cup of water which I gladly accepted and slowly drank it down leaving some in there incase Bellamy wanted more.

I stood up and reached my hand down to help Bellamy up, he grabbed my hand and I carefully pulled him up, he wobbled a little and I put my hand on his chest to steady him, "You got it?" He nodded "Yeah I'm good, thank you firefly" I smiled up at him as we headed out of the drop ship to help Clarke round everyone up and into the drop ship.

Clarke, Bellamy, and I stood to the side as we watched everyone line up to head into the drop ship, I jumped when a loud bang went off my eyes snapped to the woods where the bridge was located seeing a cloud of smoke followed by fire as the ground shook, "They did it." Bellamy stated in complete shock I nodded not having any words to form.

"I am become death, destroyer of worlds." Clarke whispered, Bellamy and I looked at her "It's Oppenheimer, the man who built the first--" Bellamy cut her off "I know who Oppenheimer is." I continued to watch the smoke clouds in the air "That was the coolest thing ever."

"You really have a thing for fire don't you?" I looked to Clarke a smile on my face "Look at it, it's mesmerizing it's hard to look away."

"Well guess we can get everyone out of the drop ship now." Bellamy spoke as he headed inside "He cares about you a lot." I looked over at Clarke as she eyed me I nodded my head "Yeah, I care about him too. He is a pain but I wouldn't have it any other way." "He is your pain though." Clarke laughed as she nudged my shoulder before going in to help.

I smiled "Yeah, he is."

Finn ran into the drop ship carrying Raven as she coughed, Clarke ran over to look at her. I walked over to them "Nice moves Clint Eastwood." Finn looked at me and laughed "It was all Jasper, but I'll gladly take your compliment since those are rare." I laughed as I squeezed his shoulder and walked off to help out those who were still not feeling great.

Once I felt like I did what I could do for those in the drop ship I headed outside and smiled as I felt the sun on my skin, god I missed it. I giggled as I laid down in the grass by camp and shut my eyes. "Sunbathing now are we?" I didn't even have to open my eyes to know who it was.

"It feels nice to just take a moment." I opened my eyes and blocked the sun "Lay with me." I patted the spot next to me Bellamy dropped down and laid next to me his head resting on my head "Now close your eyes and breathe in and out slowly."

I heard Bellamy do as I say "I feel like I'm floating. But the good kind." I laughed as he said that knowing the only floating we knew was death on the ark. "It does, it's relaxing." I said sighing, I felt Bellamy's hand grab mine as he gave it a squeeze.

"Octavia saw that grounder again, said he told her the mountain men are pissed. Whatever that means." I opened my eyes and looked at Bellamy my eyes falling onto his freckled face "Lincoln. His name is Lincoln."

Bellamy looked at me "You trust him too?" I nodded my head "He didn't hurt us, he helped us. I don't know what he was planning to do with us, but I don't think he had ill intentions. Octavia really likes him. Maybe try to be more open about it. Just a little." Bellamy sighed and ran one of his hands over his face.

"I guess I can try." I laughed as he watched me a smile on his face "You're beautiful you know." I looked at Bellamy "And you're handsome. But you already knew that." He laughed at me before turning his body to me and gently kissing me.

It was soft and smooth and felt right, when we finally pulled away we rested our foreheads together. "Bellamy?" "Hmm?" "How old are you?" "23."

"You're not gonna ask me how old I am?" He looked at me brows together "Well your not 18 or you would be dead." He said bluntly which made me snort "You have a way with words." "You're either 16 or 17." He nodded

"Day before we were sent to earth I turned 17." Bellamy looked at me "That's quite the birthday gift." I nodded "I guess it is." Bellamy and I laid on the grass talking about anything and everything that came to mind.

I opened the flap to enter Octavia and I's tent "You're lucky you never got sick." She nodded as she flipped through Lincoln's journal "Lincoln wants to train you, since we stopped the attack by blowing the bridge up he wants to train you so when we do fight you'll have some moves." "When do we start?"

She looked up at me "Tomorrow, he puts flowers by the gate and when I see it I'll find you so we can sneak off." I nodded as I flopped down on my bed and yawned before I fell into a deep sleep to the sound of Octavia turning the pages to the journal she had.
