Clarke's POV:

"Octavia the bullet's in too deep! There is too much pressure on his lungs, he will suffocate if i dont remove this bullet, and quickly! I need you to come round here and pull his shoulder back" i say and Octavia abandons the cloth and moves over to my side of the table.

She pulls back his left shoulder and instantly my fingers are able to close around the bullet and on the count of three i begin to pull it out very slowly.

As soon as the bullet is out, Octavia takes it and i start CPR, pushing against his chest. "Come on Bellamy, come on!" I plead with him, his eyes still closed, his body still. I lower myself to his lips, pulling his head back and i breath in two short breaths before returning to the compressions.

"Clarke why isnt he breathing?" Octavia says nervously, standing on the opposite side of the table again, leaning over her brother.

I am panicking now. Bellamy dont do this to me! I glance up at Octavia's pained expression and feel like crying here and now! Wait! I suddenly feel something, a small blip almost and look down to see Bellamy's chest rising and falling very slightly, his breathing quiet and shallow. I laugh giddily with relief, feeling shaky on my feet, as if all my bones have turned to jelly.

"O-okay um i need a, a sterilised needle to uh-"

"Here" Octavia intterupts me by closing my trembling hand around a threaded needle. I quickly sew up his wound, which takes longer than it should because my hands are shaking so much.

"I need some air" Octavia breathes before leaving me to it and going outside, where the chaos seems to have died down.

I tie up the end of the thread and put the needle to one side. I finally look down at Bellamy and my head falls against his chest. I take in a deep breath. "Okay! I need to clean the wound" i say to myself, wringing out the blood soaked cloth and re-soaking it.

I slowly dab Bellamy's bare chest, wiping away the blood when he starts to stir. My hand falls to a stop against his chest. "Bellamy?" I say eagerly, leaning over him.

His eyes flutter open and i beam down at him. "What did i miss?" He croaks and i laugh, wanting to hit him and...hug him all at once.

"Dont ever do that again!" I breathe heavily, continuing to clean his chest before placing a patch over the wound.

When i have finished, i realise my hands are still shaking and Bellamy reaches up, wrapping his hands around mine. I meet his gaze and smile. I am about to speak when a shout from outside steals my attention. I jump up and Bellamy pulls himself to a sitting position.

"Stay here!" I order Bellamy, before rushing through the curtain and going outside.

The 100 have spread out since the riot earlier but there is a commotion by the gate and i see Finn in the midst of it, heald in the hands of three much larger guys. Raven is stood at the side lines, looking forlorn. Others are chanting.

"Chuck him" "Chuck him" "Chuck him" is what i hear when i move closer.

"Whats going on?" I shout over the crowd and several people look my way, and they grin.

"We're gonna feed him to the wolves!" One of the guys holding a gun says, probably close to bellamy, most of the gunners were as he worked closley with them...just knowing and remembering that sent thrilling chills up my spine, contradictory to the situation at hand. I stay focused.

"I say shoot him!" Another guy jeers and this seems to cause a ripple affect and the gathered people start chanting "shoot him, shoot him" instead.

I see a few people raise theit guns and, panicking i shove my way through the rest of the crowd.

"SHUT IT!" i yell and everyone falls silent, all eyes on me. "No one's shooting anyone...or you will be just as bad, as Finn!" I cry in Dismay, not looking at Finn for my fear for my own temper and how he might raise it. The few people with their guns raised, lower them and i sigh.

"What do we do with him?" Jasper says? Squeezing through the crowd to my side, talking quietly and seriously.

I dont know! God i cant let them kill him...but he cant stay here. "He is banned from camp, he has to go and anyone may go with him if they wish but..if he comes back....he will be shot!" I say firmly, walking out of the crowd and heading back to the drophip, unable to watch as they throw Finn into the wilderness.

I walk inside the dropship and close my eyes, coming to a full stand still. I take a deep breath, feeling unsteady when i hear movement and open my eyes.

"Whats going on?" Bellamy asks in a jolted way as he tries to stand. I rush over quickly just in time as he almost collapses and i barely catch him, my arms around his waist to avoid his wounded shoulder. Bellamy evidently grabs my back to steady himself so we stand, tangled in an awkward, accifental embrace. Bellamy smiles at me and it takes all of my energy not to laugh giddily.

"Whats wrong with you! You nearly died, sit, down!" I say firmly, placing Bellamy down. My hands linger on his waist, seeming unwilling to let him go and bellamy's hand dont move from my back either...

"Emphasis on 'nearly' Doc, i'm fine!" He says, his speech slightly slurred and i wouldnt be surprised if he was extremely light headed.

"You need to lie down and sleep" i say formally, almost ready to step away from him.

"No i dont...because then i wouldnt be with you" he said quietly, and slightly tiredly, his eyes looking down. My heart starts beating against my chest violently and i forget any idea's i had had about letting go of Bellamy.

"I wont leave, i will need to check that wound regularly" i say so quietly i barely hear myself, making a feeble attempt to stay strong at the knees! Bellamy then looks up at me and i look right at his big brown eyes and my knees would have buckled if Bellamy wasn't holding my back.

"It seems, Doc. That you arent the one, holding me up anymore!" Bellamy says, his signature cheeky grin spreading accross his lips...his lips.

"Oh shut up!" I say through a smile, feeling a blush forming on my cheeks.

"Make me!" He says, moving closer, his face now showing a beaming grin and my breath catches in my throat as everything else in the world seems to melt away.

Bellamy leans in...
