Her reason: Bellamy Blake

Chapter 13

Bellamy

"Please sleep your worrying people"

I hear and I get that feeling of hatred recognizing Murphy's voice. "No I'm not," Melantha says. "Yes you are" Someone calls across the room and I smile.

"I swear if you say you're fine one more time I'll knock you unconscious and make you sleep" Hmm I respect Murphy for that, I'll never tell him though.

"I would beat you in a fight anyday" She says confidently. "She would," I say, trying to sit up.

"Hold your horses, how are you feeling?" She asks, pushing me back down. "Better, did we get the bridge?" I ask nervously. She nods and I let out a sigh of relief.

"How is everyone?" I ask. "Mostly better, just you, Clarke, and a couple others" "We have to prepare for them coming" I immediately get into action.

"Um yeah we will but you can't be getting u-" "Where's Octavia?" I interrupt.

"Ok first rude, second I don't know but I'll find her" she stands up her body swaying for a second. "Be right back, don't kill each other" She points her finger between me and Murphy. As soon as she leaves I glare at Murphy.

"Go away" He walks off. Octavia and Melantha walk back in. "I'll be ove-" She holds her thumbs up and points to Clarke and then shimmies away.

"How are you feeling?" Octavia asks, bending down. "Better, you?" "Immune, you got a lot of special attention though" A smirk grows on her face and I look at her confused.

"Huh?" "Melantha, she barely left your side" My stomach leaps and I look over at her feeling nervous and happy. She then suddenly turns around with a loud gasp.

"I did not" "Um yeah you did, why are you eavesdropping?" Octavia asks. "First off he's a patient and that's what happens when you're a doctor, second what am I supposed to do? Talk to Clarke who's obviously unconscious, and even then I wouldn't want to talk to her, I would rather talk to a dead kid "

"Little dark Lana' ' Murphy calls from across the ship. I send him another look and he backs off. I feel a sense of victory. Wimp. She rolls her eyes at the comment and remains unmoving.

She holds her hands up. "Fine I'll take a walk or something.." she takes a step and immediately falls to the floor. I go to stand up but Octavia pushes me back down. She holds a hand out as Murphy comes running over.

"Ouch" She winces. "I'm good, just tripped" she gets back up to her feet standing for a moment. I notice her eyes rolling back and jump up catching her before she hits the ground.

"What happened?" Murphy asks. "Hell if I know! Let's lay her down" I say and give her a clean spot on some blankets holding a hand to her forehead. "She has a fever" "The virus?" Murphy asks almost nervously. "No, I don't think so"

"Wake Clarke up" I say and Octavia gives me a look.

"Wake her up!" I snap and she jumps up running and pushing her awake.

Clarke looks out of it but I don't care. "She just fell" I explained and she bends down and does a couple things touching her neck and forehead. "What is it?" I ask. "My best guess, sleep deprivation. I know Melantha and I also know that she does her best not to sleep. Probably exhausted"

I stare down at her feeling horrible. Did she keep awake because of me? No don't be ridiculous, it was to help everyone.

"So she just needs sleep?" I ask and Clarke nods. "Well I think she just needs sleep" I glared at her for her unhelpfulness. "She's not going to get any sleep down here, we should move her upstairs" Octavia says. "Good idea"
