Adventures from Space to Earth

Day Trip Part 1

Bellamy's P.O.V.

It had been a few hours and there was no change with Ash. Clarke enters the tent, coming to check on her.

"Everything seems okay. She is breathing fine and her reflexes are still working. I think she was knocked out cold," she says after checking Ash over.

"Then why isn't she waking up?"

"Let me try something." Clarke rubs Ash's sternum quite hard. It takes a second but Ash shoots into a seated position, breathing heavily. Clarke stabilizes her and lets her gather her senses and see her surroundings. I get up and leave the tent before she can realize that I am there. She didn't want to see me before the storm, why would she want to see me now. I head inside the dropship to watch the grounder, needing something to distract myself front thoughts of her.

Ash's P.O.V.

I glance at Bellamy as he exits the tent. Clarke is holding my arms to keep me sitting up.

"Ash? Are you okay?" she asks. She sounds faint and far away. My eyes refocus on hers.

"Finn. Is he okay?" I ask quietly. Clarke nods.

"How are you feeling?" she asks. I then remember what happened. I bring my hand up to touch my head but Clarke stops me.

"There is a gash. And you most likely have a concussion. I'll wrap your head and then we can go from there." I nod and let her work. My mind wanders to Bellamy. I am still very angry at him for the grounder and for trying to hurt Raven but at the same time, I am really worried about him.

"Is the radio still working?" I ask.

"Yeah. Everyone is talking to their parents and what not."

"Have you talked to your mom?" My hearing is improving so I can hear Clarke better.

"No. I don't want to," she says. And that was the end of the conversation. She finishes wrapping my head and gives me instructions on staying awake and staying safe. She leaves to go talk to people on the Ark. I decide to stay in the tent, hoping Bellamy will come back so we can talk.

3rd Person P.O.V.

Clarke enters the dropship, unaware that Bellamy and Octavia are arguing.

"Bellamy," she says. He tries to walk past and out of the dropship but Clarke stops him.

"The answer is still no. I'm not talking to Jaha."

"Hey, relax." He turns and faces Clarke.

"That's not why I'm here."

"What, then?"

"The Ark found some old records that show a supply depot not too far from here." That sparks Bellamy's interest.

"What kind of supplies?"

"The kind that might give us a chance to live through winter. I'm gonna go check it out. I could use backup."

"Why are you asking me?"

"Well, because I don't feel like being around anyone I actually like," Clarke says. Bellamy looks down and gives a smirk. He then glances up at Octavia before agreeing to go with Clarke.

"I'll get my stuff, meet you in ten."

Ash's P.O.V.

I had started to doze off when Bellamy enters the tent. He freezes when he sees me still in there. He says nothing. I stand up and walk up closer to him but keep about an arms length between us.

"Are you okay?" he asks softly. I nod. His hand reaches out and he lightly touches my face. Taking me by surprise, he kisses me. One hand snakes around my waist. My hands press against his chest, but I don't push him away. His tongue presses against my lips, asking for permission and I allow it. After a minute or two, we break apart for air. We stand close still, hearts racing. His hand holds and his thumb brushes across my swollen lips. Before I can say anything, he breaks away and starts grabbing things from around the tent.

"Bell?" I've never called him that before. He slowly turns around.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you. You deserve so much better than me," he says. He keeps grabbing things. I walk over and stop him from putting a shirt in his bag.

"I don't want better. I want you," I say softly. I can see the hurt in his eyes.

"I don't want to hurt you Ash. Please, let me go," he says. A tear slides down his cheek. I brush it away with my fingers.

"What is going on Bellamy?"

"I'm going away. Forever. And I don't need the thought of you waiting for me to come back, to haunt my dreams." He stands and lets go of the shirt I had grabbed.

"Bellamy, no. Please. Don't do this." I can feel tears start streaming down my face. He walks to the tent exit and stops.

"I'm sorry Ash." And with that, he leaves me crying in his tent, holding onto the only thing he left, a shirt.
