Sitting next to Wells' grave with Clarke was hard. He was one of my best friends until I was arrested. Although he was the one who I thought turned me in to Kane, he was still one of my best friends.

I heard someone walking up behind me and Clarke so I naturally turned around with my knife drawn, Clarke doing the same.

"You guys shouldn't be out here alone." Finn stated while raising his hands in a surrendering position. "What if I was a grounder?"

"Well you weren't Finn, so just please leave me alone for a while." I walked away, not being able to deal with a lecture from Finn for being outside the walls again.

I went to Octavia and I's tent in order to look for her. I needed a girls day with her since I didn't have Raven right now. Walking in, I found O laying on her makeshift bed.

"Get up O, we are having a girls day today." I said holding my hand out so she would get up. "One of my best friends just died and I can't be alone right now."

Getting up, Octavia said, "Why me? Why not Finn or your sister?"

I stopped in my spot. I couldn't answer that question. Why didn't I stay with Clarke and Finn? They are my best friends. Maybe I didn't stay with them because they haven't been through what I went through? "Want me to answer honestly? I don't know. Maybe because you are the only person who understands my true pain right now."

Clarke burst into the tent as soon as I had finished talking. "Want mom to feel our pain? Lets take our wristbands off."

"Clarke your a genius." I said kissing her cheek and running to the dropship and heading up to the level where Monty was camped out. "Monty, take our wristbands off. Try to make one of them not die."

---

In the end, my wristband died after it was taken off, but on the other hand, Clarke's didn't die.

"Yes! I did it. It's still operational." Clarke and I stood up about to head out of the drop ship. Finn was giving us this look and I could tell what he was thinking.

"What? Monty needed a working wristband." I said slightly glaring at him.

"And you needed to punish your mother."

"Yes Finn. She turned her own husband in, and she turned her own daughter in. Wanna know what she told me on my 10th birthday? She said, 'Jordan, I will never let them get to you' and look where i'm at now. She deserves this pain." I stated walking out of the ship and walking back to O.

I saw that she was taking Jasper outside of the wall for the first time since the spear incident. "Hey guys, mind if I join you on your walk?"

Jasper smiled at me, "Of course Jordan, come along." After he said that, the look of fear reappeared on his face as the realization set in. He was walking outside the walls again.

"Hey, whats wrong?" Octavia said turning around to look at Jasper.

"Hmm? Oh, nothing. I'm good." Jasper said snapping back into reality. I grabbed his hand for reassurance and he seemed to visibly relax a little from his tense state of mind. "Come on Jasper, it's been a week. You have been given a second chance."

Octavia nodded and pointed towards me as a sign of agreeing with me. I walked out and stood next to her. Well, I was next to her until someone put their hand over my mouth and pulled me behind a tree. Someone else doing the same to Octavia.

"Octavia? Jordan?" Jasper said coming out of the base a little more, "Octavia? Jordan? Are you guys all right?"

Kicking my attacker in the shin, they groaned in pain and loosened their hold on me. I turned around and punched whoever it was in the nose and heard a satisfying crunch. That's definitely broken.

Octavia's attacker let go of her, and I finally got a good look at mine. It was two boys from our group.

Walking over to Jasper, I started to reassure him. "Jasper! There's nothing to be afraid of."

As if on cue, Jasper tripped and fell onto the ground. The sight in front of him was something to be afraid of. Wells' fingers and the killer's knife. "Octavia, go find Clarke and Finn, I'll find Bell." She smirked at me and I didn't have a clue why, but I have a feeling we'll talk about this later.

---

"Bellamy! I need you to come with me. Now." I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the 'meeting tent'. I was stopped by him planting his feet in the ground and not moving.

"What is it? What's so important you dragged me away from working on the wall?" He said wiping sweat from his forehead. Which I found kinda hot. Wait, what?

"We found Wells' fingers and a knife outside the wall. Now stop asking questions and lets go." I continued on my way to the meeting tent still holding his hand.

"Um Jordan?"

I turned around to see him smiling down at me. "What now, Bell?"

"Can I have my hand back?" He said holding up our conjoined hands in front of my face.

"Uh, yeah right." I let go of his hand blushing. Wait why am I blushing? I never blush. What is he doing to me? I walked into the tent with him behind me.

"This knife was made from metal from the dropship." Clarke stated holding the knife up to examine it.

"What do you mean?" Jasper butted in, looking terrified once again.

This time Bellamy spoke up. "Who else knows about this?"

"No one. We brought it straight here and Jordan said she would go get you." Octavia said from where she was standing.

Again, Jasper spoke. "Clarke? Jordan? Do you know what this means? You're a good fighter."

"It means the grounders didn't kill Wells. One of us did." I stated knowing we all knew what it meant, but no one wanted to say it out loud.

Spacing out, I grabbed the knife from Clarke's hands to examine it more. I was running my fingers over it in hope of finding some evidence on who the killer was. I felt an engraving and turned the knife over. J.M. John fucking Murphy.

"Clarke, look at this." I said passing the knife back over the her. Watching her do the same thing I did, tears started to well up in my eyes. Clarke, on the contrary, stormed to the opening of the tent infuriated.

Bellamy stepped in front of the entrance and put his hands up to stop her. "Get out of my way, Bellamy."

"No Clarke, we need to keep this quiet for now." Bellamy said not moving from where he was.

"Clarke maybe Bellamy is right. We should keep this quiet for now." I said grabbing her arm and turning her towards me. Catching me off guard, she shoved me to the ground. "Do you not care about getting justice for Wells! Because I do."

Bellamy, who was still blocking the entrance, said, "You don't even know whose knife it is." By now I was standing and brushing dirt off my pants and shirt.

"It's John's." Everyone turned their head to me and watched me. Clarke noticed Bellamy was distracted and pushed him aside, storming out with everyone else besides Bellamy and myself following.

"All hell is gonna break lose isn't it Jordan?" He said glancing at me.

"Yeah. Clarke has a temper sometimes."

"We'll deal with this together right?" He said holding his hand out for my to take.

Grabbing his hand and looking at him in the eyes, I replied, "Together." And with that, we walked into Satan's home.
