I was stood at the edge of camp looking out into the forest, knowing grounders could attack at any moment.

I hear footsteps coming closer. In the corner of my eye, I see Bellamy."Anything?" He asks me. I shake my head.

"It's been two days. Maybe the bomb on the bridge scared them off. Maybe they think we have more." I tell him.

He looks over to me."You believe that?" He asks and I scoff.

"No. But a girl can dream." I tell him and he smirks. He starts to walk away and I follow him.

"Jasper thinks he can cook up some more gun powder if he can get sulfur, and Raven says she can turn that into landmines. So, uh, be careful where you step." He says and I laugh at the jock.

I bump my shoulder into his."Funny." I say with a smile.

"What I really need is 100 more of her tin can bombs so I can roll into their village and blow those grounders to hell." Bellamy says and I freeze. He notices and stops too."Thats what they want to do to us." He defends himself.

"They're just trying to survive. I can respect that even if the way they're going about it is wrong." I tell him. He shakes his head.

"Anyword from the Ark?" He asks and I shake my head.

"They finally ran out of air." He tells me.

"No one's coming down to save us." I tell him with a frown.

"Whoa! Guys fire!" I hear in the distance and see all our food go up in flames. Bellamy and I take off towards the flames. After making sure Tavia was ok I check on Murphy.

"What the hell happened?" I call out and Murphy gets up and charges at a boy.

"This is all your fault. We told you it was too much wood!" Murphy yells grabbing him. I push him off the boy.

"Everyone calm down!" I yell and it goes quiet.

"Now, what the hell are we gonna do? That was all the food." Octavia says and I sigh and rub my aching shoulder.

After putting out the fire Bellamy and I search through the remains to see if anything survived.

"Any idea what happened?" Clark asks as she walks over.

"Murphy says that Del kept feeding the fire, mostly because Octavia told him it was a bad idea." Bellamy tells her and I sigh while running my fingers through my hair.

"And we believe Murphy?" Clark asks and I nod.

"I do. Yeah." Bellamy adds.

"We have some wild onions and nuts in the dropship. It's only enough to last us one or two weeks. What's left here." Clark asks and I chuckle.

"Nothing." I tell her." We have to hunt." I tell them while standing up I wince as my shoulder throbs.

Clark shakes her head."You cant hunt. You need to give your shoulder time to heal." She says and I scoff.

"She's right." Bellamy adds with a stern face. With a glare, I push past them to my tent knowing they wouldn't let me leave camp.

Walking into my tent I see Octavia.

"Hey." She says with a smile. I give her a soft smile. After talking with Octavia I go to Bellamy's tent to check on him.

"Hey, Bell?" I call out as I walk in to see him and a half-naked Raven. I felt a stab to my heart. Whatever pain I felt I didn't let it show.

"Um, I'll just leave." I say turning around.

"No!" Bellamy says fast grabbing my arm."I didn't know she was in here." He says and I furrow my brows. Raven quickly puts her clothes back on.

"It's fine have fun." I say trying to pull away.

"No- I." He lets out a sigh. Raven speaks up before leaving.

"He likes you, not me." She says and walks out. I freeze and slowly look up to Bellamy who was already looking at me. I gulp.

"She's right." He says then lets out a nervous chuckle. I move and sit on his bed and he follows and squats down in front of me.

"I had a crush on you since I seen you on the dropship." He tells me as I look at my hands that I'm playing with.

I sigh."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I asked him as I look up.

"I wanted to. When I was sick and you laid down with me, it felt so right and I wanted to tell you then but-" He stops with a sigh.

"What?" I ask him.

"Octavia, she likes you too." He tells me and I scoff. 

" Octavia doesn't like me, she's my best friend." I tell him but he shakes his head.

"Who has a crush on you. She told me." He says and I furrow my brows, not knowing what to think.

"I just-need." He stops and all of a sudden his lips were on mine as he roughly kissed me and I kissed back.

When I pull away I hold his face in my hands. "Fuck." I say and jump up.

"What's wrong?" He asks worriedly.

"I like you Bellamy, but Octavia." I tell him with tears in my eyes. He nods. I need to go. I tell him and walk back to my tent.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Octavia asks panicked as I walk in with tear-stained cheeks.

"Bellamy, he kissed me. But he told me you like me too and I don't want to hurt either of you." I say as I hold her face in my hands. She slowly pulls away and wipes the tears off my face.

"I'll fix this." she says as she sits me down on my bed and lays me down."You just go to bed." She says and I nod. I doze off as she leaves the tent.
