"disappointed"
i was sitting beside clarke as jasper kept groaning out in pain. "shut that kid up!" someone shouted from downstairs. "quiet!" another shouted.
"don't listen to them." clarke said leaning towards jasper. "you're gonna make it through this, okay? promise." she continued as a tear rolled down his face, she rubbed his forehead softly.
"can he just die already?" another person shouted which made me whip around angrily. i quickly got up and went down the ladder.
"who the hell just said that?" i asked looking at everyone angrily.
"it's not worth it kenny." clarke said placing a hand on my shoulder i shrugged it off.
"if that were you up there would you want people to let you die? now i know if you're nearly killed by a grounder i'll just let you suffer." i said looking at everyone with an angry expression.
later on kenny was upstairs once again by jaspers side, holding his hand rubbing the top of it softly with her thumb as clarke was changing his bandages.
"the grounders cauterized the wound. saved his life." clarke said as she cleaned jaspers wound.
"saved his life so they could string him up for live bait." finn said walking over to the wall behind me before leaning his shoulder on it. "garden of eden this ain't." he continued.
"this is infected. he could be septic." clarke stated catching kenny's attention. "any progress on using the wristband to contact the ark?" clarke asked monty. he just stared at his best friend sadly, "monty?" clarke called out catching his attention.
"that would be a firm no." monty answered honestly.
kenny looked down at jasper again, she lightly flattened his hair down out of his forehead.
"my mother would know what to do." clarke said her voice quiet.
"how's he doing?" wells asked getting down.
"how does it look like he's doing, wells?" kenny snapped looking away from jasper to wells.
"hey, i'm just trying to help." wells said calmly looking over at me now.
kenny inhaled and nodded closing her eyes. "alright. you wanna help?" clarke asked wells before pausing, "hold him down." she said firmly. wells grabbed one leg and finn grabbed the other. kenny still held onto his hand. her eyes followed clarkes hand she was sterilizing the knife she had.
"i'm not gonna like this, am i?" monty asked nervously.
jasper started screaming in agony, "hold him still!" clarke shouted. i lightly took my hand across his face comfortingly. "i need to cut away the infected flesh." she continued, i looked up at her with wide eyes.
"stop it! you're killing him." octavia shouted quickly going down by clarke.
"she's trying to save his life." finn stated. i looked behind clarke to see bellamy, great both of blake's.
"she can't." bellamy said back to finn. wells stood up.
"back off." wells stated no emotion as always.
"we didn't drag him through miles of woods to let him die." clarke simply said.
"kids a goner. if you can't see that, you're deluded. he's making people crazy." bellamy continues making me grow angrier by the second.
"sorry if jaspers an inconvenience to you, but this isn't the ark. down here, every life matters." i snapped angrily glaring up at the older blake.
"take a look at him. he's a lost cause." bellamy said i took a deep breath trying not to break.
"don't listen to him." i whispered to jasper, "you're stronger than he thinks. show him." i say a tear coming in my eyes, i've lost so much, although jasper and i weren't close it still hurt, he was such a kind soul and the fact that people like bellamy don't get what people like jasper gets makes my blood boil.
"octavia, i've spent my whole life watching my mother heal people. if i say there's hope, there's hope." clarke said to octavia who looked very upset.
"this isn't about hope, it's about guts." bellamy says, no matter what we say he knocks it. "you don't have the guts to make the hard choices. i do. he's been like this for three days. if he's not better by tomorrow, i'll kill him myself." bellamy stated before going to walk off.
"it doesn't work like that, it takes more than four days to heal from something on this level." i state back. bellamy just looked back at me before telling octavia to come with him.
"i'm staying here." she says back and off he went.
"power-hungry, self-serving jackass. he doesn't care about anyone but himself." monty said receiving a stare from octavia, "no offense." she just shrugged back.
"yeah. bellamy is all that." finn said, i look at him, "but he also happens to be right." my eyes go to him in disbelief. finn looks back at me his eyes softening at my expression.
i look back at jasper sadly before placing a kiss on his forehead and standing up, i look back at finn disbelief still over my expression. he went to say something but i shook my head at him not wanting to hear it and walk over to the ladder.
"are you okay?" octavia asked looking back at me.
"yeah, just need some air. been up here all day." i say with a smile that didn't reach my eyes.
i was sitting by myself my back against a tree. i took in the fresh air. i felt someone sit by me. they didn't say anything. after about two minutes of silence i spoke up. "what do you want?" i asked not looking at him.
"are you mad at me?" finn asked his voice quiet. i look down at my hands that were fidgeting.
"no. i'm not mad. just.." i pause for a second looking for the right word, i then look at him, "disappointed." i say quietly.
he nodded "one thing i like about you is how caring you are. so if you believe, i'll try to believe. but always prepare for the worst." he said meeting my eyes again.
"so when the worst comes, you aren't as hurt." i say nodding knowingly. he nodded back.
"i'm going to take wells and clarke to the magic flowers, do you wanna come?" he asked.
i shake my head, "no. i'm going to stay here and keep an eye on jasper." i say back.
"okay." he says before standing up and walking off.
"okay." i whispered to myself now turning my attention to the sky, "okay.." i whisper again. "please, please, please, protect jasper mom." i beg and leaning my head on the tree again.
