The Instabilities of our Feelings (The 100)

Chapter 3: The Fog

Ethan's POV:

After last nights ordeal, I spent the morning with Clarke helping to keep Jasper alive. They had found him surprisingly and brought him back to camp to be treated. He looked in rough shape and I honestly felt so bad for him.

"Is he gonna make it?" I ask her.

"I'm not sure. I'm doing my best to keep him alive." She says to me.

I stared at jasper some more. He was in pain. So much pain. We both were in pain. The only difference was that his was physical, Mine was emotional. Why am I making this about me Jasper is the one that needs help not me.

"His wound is infected." Clarke says while examining Jasper's wound. It was oozing and had a dark stain to it indicating it wasn't healing properly.

"Hold him down." Clarke tells one of us as one guy holds him down.

"I gonna take a minute outside." I say becoming sick from whet was happening and walk out of the room.

I walk out of the drop ship and I'm greeted by the glowing morning sunlight. I feel someone push my shoulder and see it's Octavia.

"Hey! Octavia? Where are you going?" I ask her.

"Nothing that concerns you." She says rather harshly.

I ignore her comment and continue walking down through the camp. I walk over by some people and I notice Chad and what seem to be his friends talking to each other. As I walk by I overhear their conversation."

"Yeah! And so he comes into my tent and tries to have sex with me like-" He says and then stops talking when he notices me walking by.

"There he is." They whisper.

I look at them and then shake my head as I keep walking. It just wasn't worth the trouble of fighting it. They would never believe me even if I tried. I stop in my tracks once I hear Jaspers groans become louder. That can't be good.

I run back to the drop ship and climb up to see Clarke cutting into his infected flesh. I thought they had been done by now.

"Stop It! Your killing him!" I hear Octavia yell.

"She's trying to save his life." Finn says to her.

"She can't." Bellamy says as he climbs up from the ladder.

"We didn't drag him through miles of woods just to let him die." Clarke says to him.

"The kids a goner. If you can't see that your deluded." Bellamy says to her.  "He's making people crazy."

"I'm sorry that Jasper is an inconvenience to you, but this isn't the ark." Clarke says to him. "Down here every life matters."

"Take a look at him. He's a lost cause." He pleads to her. We all look at him and stand around quietly once he says that.

Clarke turns to Octavia and says: "Octavia, I've spent my whole life watching my mother heal people. If I say there's hope, there's hope."

"This Isn't about hope. It's about guts. You don't have the guts to make the hard choices. I do. He's been like this for hours. If he's not better by tomorrow, I'll kill him myself. Octavia, let's go." He orders.

"I'm staying here." She says with a towel in her hand and patting Jaspers forehead.

Bellamy looks at her and I notice his eyes dart toward me for a quick second before crawling back down the ladder.

"Power hungry, self-serving jackass. He doesn't care about anyone but himself." Monty says. "No offense Octavia."

"Yeah Bellamy is all that." Finn says. "But he also happens to be right."
