To Whom It May Concern (Rewritten)

To Whom It may Concern,

I don't know who will read this, but I'm done. All my life I have wished the spotlight wasn't on me. Sure everyone focused on Wells because he was the chancellor's son, but I was the first council daughter. I constantly had people gasp at my beauty or hear whispers about me. I wished it had all gone away.

Now, I'm alone. The world ended for the second time, and I am left with nobody. I did this for someone I loved. Saved someone he cared about very much, but I can't even stand to look at her. I saved her, and we won't even speak. We were trapped together in the lab for 40 days, and did everything we could to ignore each other. Now, she has gone to Polis to free the people in the bunker.

Clarke is mad at me. She thinks I'm stupid, and I know it. The thing is, I'm pregnant...

Addy's eyes shot open. She gasped and groaned at the burning sensation in her arm.

"You nearly lost your arm." She heard someone mumble. She looked and saw Clarke.

"You could've lost your face." Addy pushed herself off the ground.

"What are you doing here?" Clarke stopped her.

"I saved you. Maybe say thank you." Addy continued walking.

"No, I won't thank you." Clarke called after her. "I did a check up on you to make sure you were going to make it. You got lucky, but you are stupid."

"What are you talking about?" Addy turned to face the blonde girl.

"How far along?"

"What?" Addy scoffed.

"I moved your shirt to see if there was any damage on your abdomen, and I saw a bump. How long?" Clarke got closer to her.

"You don't know what you're talking about."

"Addy, what you did was stupid, and you know it." Clarke stopped her. "You and I both know you're pregnant, and yet you wasted a chance at giving it a safe and normal life."

"There's no doctors up there! If I went up there, the baby would've died anyway." Addy shouted.

"Does Bellamy know?"

"Nobody knows. Nobody had to know, because I didn't think it would survive the radiation. The only person I know that has a clue is maybe Murphy." She mumbled.

"Let me help you." Clarke sounded sincere.

"I don't need your help. I can figure it out on my own."

Now that I think back on it, maybe I pushed her away, but in all reality I was perfectly fine on my own. That is until she left. Food has been scarce, and we rationed as much as we could, but this baby is killing me, and I can feel it. I've grown weaker, and can barely get up most days. I guess what I'm trying to say is I hope Clarke comes back, and reads this, and knows that I needed her but couldn't say it.

"I'm going to Polis." Clarke looked at Addy. Addy stared at her but said nothing. "It's been a month. The radiation levels should've dropped. Come with me."

"No thanks." Addy mumbled.

"Come on. We need to find somewhere else."

"You can go. Can't you see that I'm almost two months in, and I get weaker everyday? I won't survive this, Clarke, and you need to just move on."

"Fine, I'm going to go get the people from the bunker, and when I do, my mom will be able to help you through this." Clarke bent down and looked her in the eyes. Addy said nothing. Clarke sighed, stood up, and left.

She hasn't been gone long, but in the short time she's been gone, I have tried to fix things around the lab, and maybe get some power to get a radio working. I was unsuccessful. Nothing in the lab would turn on. I thought I had to go outside and turn something on, but when I got out there everything was destroyed. I also have very little function in my left arm from the radiation burns.

Addy climbed out of the small hole Clarke must have made to get out. She looked around and saw the ocean was gone, and all that was left was sand. She was right, everything outside was useless.

Addy ripped a small piece of her shirt off, to help cover her face from all the sand blowing. She moved slowly to where things up top should've been to find nothing.

"Ugh! Piece of shit!" She kicked the ground. She made her way back into the lab.

Well, so much for checking. I don't know what to do anymore. Clarke still hasn't come back, and it's dark and cold in the lab. No food or water for miles. I'm not going to give up (although I want to), but my time seems to be running out. So all I can hope for is that Clarke comes back, and sees this. I want her to know that I don't hate her, and I tried.

Sincerely,

Addison Kane

I know this is a short chapter, but I didn't want it to go on forever.

That's Addy's letter all pieced together. I thought it'd be a cute way to have the first chapter, and it's kind of boring, but hopefully the next chapters won't be!

WELCOME TO BOOK 2!
