Her reason: Bellamy Blake

Chapter 38

Melantha

"What's going on!" I yell as people start screaming and running inside.

I push past them as they start aggressively throwing their clothes off.

Um ok?

I go to the door to see Bellamy and Kane. "What's happening?" I ask and then notice rain coming down.

"Black rain" Kane nods. "We are out of time"

I run a hand over my face. "Bellamy it's Dave, me and Conner are stuck in out here" Bellamy's radio sounds.

"Conner?" I say.

He is such a sweet kid.

Bellamy stares out in the rain. "We have to get them" I whisper and he nods. "We will be there soon, hold tight"

"That's not going to work you idiot" I stare at his 'protection gear' he's going to run to the rover and then drive as close as he can get to the door and I will jump in.

He goes to walk out but I grab his arm. "Leave me and I'll chase after"

He rolls his eyes. "Trust me I know"

I let go and he breathed out a deep breath. "You sure?" I ask and he nods before crouching down and running fast. I hold my breath waiting for him to respond.

"George? You ok?" I say and nothing, I swallow hard. I don't care if he doesn't like me because I still like him.

"I'm going out there" I say and Kane grabs my arm.

"I'm good, pulling up" The rover starts moving and I breathe out a sigh of relief. He pulls up and opens the door. "Be back soon" I turn to Kane and quickly hug him.

I jump inside drops getting on my back as I wince.

It burns. Burns bad.

"You're good, just wait a minute" He says and grabs a water bottle shoving it down my back.

"Shit!" I hissed.

"You good?" I ask looking up. He nods and stares at me. "I'm fine, let's move" I jump in the passenger seat.

"Drive slower" I say gripping the seat.

"We need to get there!" "It's no use if we don't make it!"

"Amy I swe-" Thump. "I told you!" I snap and he glares before switching it into reverse and slamming on the gas.

"Wh-" "Just a second" He shifts gears. And he does it again and again.

No. We are stuck.

"Bellamy, Mel, where are you guys?" I look at the ceiling.

Why do we have to lose people every day?

"Dave we-we are stuck. Can't get to you" Bellamy's voice strains and I look over.

"No, My boy we can't last anymore! I'll come to you" My eyes widened. He won't make it by himself.

"No! Dave don't" He doesn't respond as I hold down on the radio again.

"Dave?" silence.

"Shit!" Bellamy yells and slams his hands on the steering wheel. They won't make it without help.

I press a hand to my every slowing heart. I can help them live. I can help Conner.

So I decided. I glance at the door at the down poor. I'm dying anyway, might as well help.
