I had no idea what had gotten into her; I knew Sam was mad at me but so far, she'd made an impressive job remaining calm around me because I knew she could have lashed out on me if she wanted to. What do I have to do, Sam? I turned around to see Clarke talking with Niylah again when Octavia came out of the room in which they had left Raven.
- "Where's Sam?"
- "She went outside to get some air." –I answered and she walked past me- "She wants to be alone."
- "No, Bellamy." –she faced me- "She wants to be away from you."
- "What?"
- "You've hurt me, but you've broken her. And I thought that was impossible."
- "What is that supposed to mean?"
- "You know how Sam feels about you and how much she cares, how she blames herself for everything, especially for what you've been doing since Pike got here. You've known her for a long time now better than anyone else, maybe even better than me..., and still, you can't see..."
- "O..."
- "I shouldn't do this, but I need to know." –she moved closer to me and glued her eyes to mine- "Are you in love with Sam?" –I nodded- "But do you love someone else?"
- "What?"
- "Do you love Clarke?"
- "What? No. O, where is this coming from?"
- "You were willing to let Sam go after Roan, you let Pike and his people hurt Sam, you've hurt her..."
- "I know and I'm trying to fix it. But what does any of this have to do with Clarke?"
- "You'd never let anything hurt her. You went out of your way to try to get her back. You didn't do that for Sam."
- "The Grounders see Clarke as our leader, we need her."
- "And Sam was your girl." –she reproached me, raising her voice; that past tense got to me- "I don't get why Clarke would be more important to you than Sam." –she walked away.
- "This is ridiculous." –I walked after her- "I love Sam."
- "Or you love how important she made you feel?" –she turned to face me, her face burning with rage- "Sam's given you everything no one else would; I'm starting to think you've used my sister until Clarke came back and then, you dismissed her."
- "You know that's not true."
- "And why then did you only focus on Sam when Clarke wasn't around? You got together when Clarke left and destroyed what you had as soon as you heard Clarke was in danger. You told Monty you didn't want to choose between them..."
