Why Do We Fall

Chapter 20

Derek's POV

I announced that I need at least 200 people to meet me at the entrance outside of the bunker. My people are waking here and they should arrive in a minute with fully armed weapons. When they arrive they're supposed to gun down the wandering 200 outside of the bunker.

It's been a minute so they should be killed, if they ain't killed all hell will break loose. I open the vault door and I see the 200 dead bodies outside and I see every person remaining from Arkadia entering the bunker.

  -After the massacre that happened outside of the bunker-

We've settled into the bunker now and I'm outside with Octavia and Kane saying goodbye to Bellamy and the others. "May we meet again, Raven" as I said this to Raven I could feel her tears soak into my shirt.

Raven and the rest are walking toward the Rover, after everyone went back inside and before Raven and the others leave. I pull her into a kiss, my affection for Raven was all poured into this one kiss.

  "Please come back, Raven." I whispered to her before she left in the Rover. I nod at Clarke who's in the passenger seat next to Bellamy.

I go back into the bunker and now it's time to play the waiting game.

Six years later...

As I finish my workout, my two girls are next to me and we wipe away our sweat with our towels. They both work out with me, so that's a plus. "Dad, can we go eat at the diner?" Alex asks me. 

"Yeah dad, can we go? I want pancakes." Sarah adds in. I smile and put my hand on my chin to pretend to think about my answer.

  "Sure, unless you want the famous homemade French toasts."

We leave the gym and I look into the mirror before we leave the gym. My face hasn't aged a bit I find that odd, it might be just genetics. As we go up the stairs the flashbacks happen, the people I've seen being killed, Lexa being killed...

I shake my head and I look at my girls and they look at me with worried faces. They probably know about me, I don't know what is happening to me. I'll have to go see Doctor Gale later.

The three of us arrive at our apartment or whatever it's called, but we shower I go last since I'm the father. I haven't slept in a while, that's probably the cause of me getting those flashbacks earlier.

We all leave the place and go to the diner, I order my bacon and egg special with a black coffee. I stand up and so does my two daughters, Octavia waves at the girls and I put on a small smile.

I bring Sarah and Alex toward Octavia, she and I are close. I smile at my two daughters before I leave and go see Gale, Gale is an interesting person but she can be weird. In a good way I guess but not the weird where she'll creep you out.

I arrive at the doctor's office. The nurses just said wait in the lobby so I do, shortly after sitting down in called over. "Derek Monroe, Doctor Gale is ready to see you." The nurse politely said and I nod at her.

I tell Gale everything and she says come back next week and to tell her if I still have those flashbacks. I leave the doctors office and I feel relieved that I got the pressure off of me, my heart feels more warm and I overall feel better...we'll only for now.
