It is early afternoon when Bellamy finds me in the woods. His arms snake around my waist, scaring the shit out of me.
"God damn it, Bellamy!" His arms are still wrapped around my waist and he rests his head on my shoulder. He seems quite content, more at peace.
"Did you do it?" I whisper. He nods. I turn around in his arms and wrap my arms around his neck. We stand there in each other's arms for a minute without talking.
"You are beautiful," Bellamy says softly. I feel a burning blush on my cheeks and I look away. Bellamy's hand finds my chin and he turns my head to look at him.
"You are." Our eyes meet again and I feel the urge to kiss him. I proceed to get on my tippy toes and place a kiss on his cheek.
"What, I don't get a real kiss?" he asks quietly. I smile and slip out of his arms and start to quickly move away.
"Oh no you don't. Get back here and give me a proper kiss!" he says. I start running and giggling, playing hard to get.
Unfortunately, we didn't get much time alone as Clarke, Bellamy, Finn, and a new person finds us. Guess my laughing gave us away.
"Hey! Where is it?" Clarke yells.
"Hey, princess, you taking a walk in the woods?" I stay sitting on the ground where I fell, trying to catch my breath.
"They're getting ready to kill three hundred people up there to save oxygen and I can guarantee you it won't be council members. It'll be working people. Your people," she says tapping his chest. Finn comes out of nowhere and shoves Bellamy.
"Bellamy, where's the radio?" Bellamy shoves him back.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I've been out here with Ash all afternoon," he says. Finn looks around Bellamy and sees me sitting on the ground. He seems a bit shocked to see me out there with Bellamy.
"Bellamy Blake? They're looking everywhere for you," the new person says.
"Shut up," Bellamy says quickly. I stand up and stand next to him.
"Looking for him, why?" Clarke asks.
"He shot Chancellor Jaha." Clarke turns and faces the two of us.
"That's why you took the wristbands. Needed everyone to think we're dead."
"Do you really want to be with a murderer Ash?" Finn says, bringing everyone's attention to me.
"Leave her out of this," Bellamy says as he uses one arm to pull me behind him. I look to the ground avoiding everyone's eyes.
"Oh my god, you knew," Clarke says as she comes to the realization that I have known for a bit.
"All that 'whatever the hell we want'? You just care about saving your own skin!" Finn yells. Bellamy takes my hand and we start walking away.
"Hey! Shooter! Where's my radio?" the person yells and gets in his way.
"Get out of my way," he says sharply.
"Where is it?"
"I should've killed you when I had the chance."
"Really? Well, I'm right here." And then, what I never wished I would ever see, Bellamy throws the person against a tree but she has a knife.
"Where's my radio?"
"Okay, stop it." Bellamy releases her and moves away. He moves back towards me but I step back, afraid of him hurting me. He looks at me but I don't meet his eyes.
"Jaha deserved to die. You all know that," he tries to reason.
"Yeah, he's not my favorite person either, but he isn't dead."
"What?"
"You're a lousy shot." Clarke approaches Bellamy.
"Bellamy, don't you see what this means? You're not a murderer. You always did what you had to do to protect your sister. That's who you are. And you can do it again by protecting three hundred of your people. Where's the radio?"
"It's too late," he says.
