Enough
To never need another

"Where's Bear?" Bellamy asked, holding Clarke at arms length, causing Octavia to glance behind the blonde, expecting the brunette to strut towards them with her sardistic smirk

Looking down, Clarke's face fell,"she's not with me."

-

"And you believe him?" Monty asked Jasper, who had come from President Wallace's office.

Apparently the old hag told Jasper that Clarke had left the compound, and left everyone behind as well. That she 'looked for enemies in people who were friends' kind of crap. Of course, Bear believed that Clarke ran, and that she was going to get help.

"Yes, I believe him," Jasper sighs,"Clarke left us, she faked being crazy to get into medical and she took off."

"So?" Bear growled, annoyed by Jaspers take on the information,"Ever since we've been here, Clarke has done everything she can to help us, and all of a sudden you come in here and she's the fucking bad guy? She stood by us-"

The metal door echoed through the room, making the trio aware that somebody else was inside the room with them. Turning, Bears face fell into a scowl when she saw Maya, she was hoping for Noah or Reese.

Monty rolled his eyes at the sight of her, before dropping to the side of his bed and putting all his clothes from his bedside into an empty bag.

"Where are you going?" Jasper asked.

"The drop shop, for starters," Monty stated, looking to Bear who nodded vigorously.

"You're leaving?" Maya asked.

"Yes."

"No."

Bear loves Jasper, but in that moment she wanted to smack the boy upside his head, turning to Maya with a sinister smile, she gestured to Monty,"we are."

Monty looked to Jasper,"Clarke would go after us."

"No, you can't. It's too dangerous," Maya whispered to Jasper.

Of course, Bear heard it.

"Look, sweetheart," Bear growled, pointing her finger into Mayas shoulder,"You don't know shit about what it's like outside, because you're in your protection bubble of cement ruled by the wicked witch of the west."

Jasper grabber Bears shoulder and pulled her back,"Hey, don't talk to her like that."

Shrugging his hand off, she turned her back to Maya,"I'm just stating the facts."

Walking over to Monty, Bear pulled out black, semi ripped pants and a few button ups that Noah and Reese had given her. She was halfway through shoving shoving the clothing into the bag, when all of a sudden, she heard whimpers.

"Radiation," Maya callee out, making Bear turn to the girl to see her face flushing red, as welts started to bubble slightly on her exposed skin.
