when maybella fernsby woke herself out of her deep sleep, she was hit instantly with excruciating pain, such bad pain she never thought it was possible. but both clarke and murphy were there to comfort her, and calm her down through her uncontrollable sobbing because of the pain.
      but that was many hours ago, and they were all still stuck in the damn room since yesterday, with night about to fall on polis.

the whole day all may did was rest on the comfortable bed and let her overwhelming thoughts consume her, as well as small naps between here and there from being so emotionally and physically exhausted. all she could think about was that she had to watch another person die yet again right in front of her eyes, even when she tried to save them. knowing you failed your patients was the worst feeling may could ever feel, and it always took her many days to get over it, sometimes weeks.

she rested on the bed beside murphy, daring not to look at him, even if it were just a glance, but yet she couldn't help it. she was feeling so many emotions at the same time and was unsure of how to handle it, murphy being back, her being worried about her anemia, so she just let her thoughts run wild with whatever they decided to jump to think about next.

but suddenly, the sound of a loud bullhorn that blasted throughout polis took her out of her thoughts immediately. she sat up slowly considering her injury, and looked behind her, and watched as clarke peeked through the curtains. "the conclave must be starting."

murphy was the first to jump off of the bed, "cool." he stated carelessly, "you see anything?"

clarke huffed, and turn to look at him with a facial expression no one could describe. and seeing how concerning her face looked, may was the second to get up off the bed, "what's wrong?"

"come on, what?" he said nonchalantly, "watching you grounders fight to the death to see who gets an AI built into their brain, that doesn't sound fun to you?"

even though the question was more-so stated towards clarke, may decided to speak up, "no thanks, i'll pass."

suddenly, a bunch of reckless banging was coming from the two main doors. alarmed, may turned quickly to see it was clarke, trying to fight her tears. "clarke, hey." the anemic girl tried to calm her.

"clarke!"

at her name being called by both murphy and may, the blonde stopped abruptly, and continued to fight her tears.
