"Like I said," Sayah sighed. "I'm fine."

Bellamy rolled his eyes. "You promised you'd see Abby and this—"

"Is me keeping that promise, yes." Sayah finished before turning her attention to Abby who watched the two bicker. "Can I go now?"

"No suicidal thoughts? No plans?" Abby questioned her. Sayah shook her head.

"How about your mood? Is it low—"

"Come on, Abby. I've answered these questions already. Can I just go now?" Sayah raised her brows.

Abby sighed before exchanging a look with Bellamy. Sayah furrowed her brows at the duo. "What have you two got planned?"

Bellamy pursed his lips. "You're not coming with us to Mount Weather. You're going with Kane and Abby to Polis for the summit delegation."

Sayah scoffed. "No—No way. I'm going with you, Bellamy."

Abby shook her head. "No, Sayah, this was both of our decisions. Plus, having you there with Kane and I will be a big help." She turned to Bellamy before nodding and giving the two some privacy.

"You can't be serious." Sayah frowned at him.

"I am. If you're feeling down again, it's too risky for you to come with this, Sayah. Be glad Abby is even letting you leave camp. I—and Abby—want you to be with her, just in case—"

"What? I lose it?" Sayah rolled her eyes. "Be glad I'm not moping around in bed for the day. I feel fine, okay? I just. . ."

". . . Aren't in the right headspace to come with us. Go to Polis with Kane and Abby so Abby can keep an eye on you. She is a doctor." Bellamy argued.

"Bellamy—"

"No, Sayah. Your mental health matters more to me than whether you come with us or not." Bellamy said sternly.

"What about Raven? And Via?" Sayah frowned.

"I've already told them and they agree." Bellamy informed her.

Sayah pouted and crossed her arms. "Fine. I'll go with Abby and Kane. But if you get separation-anxiety, and start to miss me, that's on you." She hopped off the small bed she sat on and sighed as she stared at her feet.

"Come 'ere." Bellamy mumbled before opening his arms. Sayah embraced him tightly. "Do this for me." He told her quietly.

"Whatever." Sayah grumbled. "Just tell the others not to miss me too much."

"We're at the Polis city limits." Kane informed everyone as they exited the vehicle. Sayah got out the back first before offering Abby a hand. She took it with a smile. "From here, we go on foot." Kane added as Sayah watched other guards exit the car.
