Together

Chapter 8: Lost Cause

Jasper:

My eyes flutter open. My head is spinning and aching. A sharp pain fills my upper body before I come to my senses. I hear voices. At first I freak out, thinking it was my captures, but then I recognise the voices. Monty, and Finn, and Clarke, and Octavia. It sounds like they're drinking.

"Do you guys mind if I get some of that?" I ask groggily. I must've been drugged.

Clarke:

"Why are you in such a bad mood?" I ask Bellamy, who has a scowl plastered on his face.

Jasper moans in the background.

"Because of that. Why can't I just put him out of his misery and everyone can work in peace," He replies angrily.

"You are not killing Jasper! No way. He's one of Octavia's best friends and she would hate you if you killed him. So would I." It's true. I would hate Bellamy if he killed Jasper.

"O would understand. He's a lost cause. Wouldn't you rather let him die quick rather than drawing it out like you are."

"Jasper is going to survive. I won't let him die."

Finn is sitting on a raised platform listening to me and Bellamy argue. He agrees with Bellamy and I can't believe it. Of all people, Finn is against me.

I'm broken from my thought as Wells walks in. He must've heard the shouting. Great, I think, a full house of heartless idiots.

I storm out in fury and run to my tent. When I get there I burst out into sobs. Falling to the ground, my emotions overwhelm me. Whenever I see Wells, he reminds me of my dad getting floated, and with everything else going on, I just can't take it anymore. I sit like that for I don't know how long until someone walks in.

"Go away Wells, I don't want to speak to you," I say in a sad whisper.

Bellamy:

When I walk into Clarke's tent to apologise she's on the floor bawling. Guilt floods my already full thoughts.

"Go away Wells, I don't want to speak to you," she says quietly.

"Unlucky guess," I reply softly. I expected her to respond with a snarky comment and tell me to leave but instead she just falls into my arms.

"Ssh, ssh, it's okay, it's going to be okay," I whisper into her hair as we just stand there hugging. She nuzzles her head into my chest and I lean my head on top of her head. We just stand there in the moment...

A/N
guys! I'm so so so so so so so sorry I've kept you waiting this long for an update! School has been super duper busy so that's why I haven't had the chance to update.

Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter! Comment feedback! It always helps.
