Tell me a secret

It was in the middle of the night. I don't know what time. There were no clocks on the ground, so we just guessed most of the time by looking at the sun. But, there was no sun. The sky was lit up, though, with hundreds of stars and a full moon.

Bellamy laid next to me. We were laying on the ground, in the cold grass. The view was amazing. We've been on Earth for months, but I still can't get over how breathtaking the sky was at night.

"It's so beautiful." Bellamy whispered, the words barely reaching my ears.

"I can't believe the people on the Ark are missing out on this." I mumbled. Mostly to myself.

"Me neither."

It was quite again. The quite was another thing I learned to appreciate. On the Ark, there was a constant machine hum, but down here, there was no noise. It was dead silent in the middle of the night.

At first, I had a lot of trouble sleeping without the noise. I would come outside and just lay down, staring at the sky until I passed out from exhaustion.

After a few weeks of this, I ended up waking up in my own tent. Everyone I asked said they didn't do it or knew who did it. Every night, I tried to stay up to see who it was, but they only ever came after I fell asleep.

One day, Bellamy requested me on a hunt, and the acid fog came. We rushed into a small bunker that Clarke had showed him, and we were trapped there for a few days. Each time we would open up the trap door, the fog was still there.

It got boring, so Bellamy and I talked. A lot.

"Tell me a secret." He said at one point.

I thought for a moment, then spoke, "I can't sleep inside, anymore. I can only fall asleep looking at the sky. Everyone just thinks I like it out there, but I can't sleep unless I'm out there."

He was quite, so I talked again. "You tell me a secret."

He cleared his throat, but hesitated before talking again. Eventually he told me, "Every night I see you on the ground outside. Every night I pick you up and carry you to your tent."

I haven't even had a conversation with him before that hunting trip, now he was the person I'd been searching for.

Now, he lays with me outside every night until I fall asleep. Every morning, I wake up and I'm in my tent, right by his side. Now, I can't sleep without him. And he tells me he can't sleep without me, either.
