Probability Of Us | Bellamy Blake

Juniper Kane never wanted friends. She definitely never wanted to be responsible for anyone else's feelings.

Growing up on the Ark taught her one thing: people leave, people lie, and trusting someone only gives them the power to hurt you. So when she's sent to Earth with the hundred, she keeps her distance. While everyone else forms alliances and friendships, Juniper builds walls. Sharp words, cold stares, and an attitude that pushes people away have always been easier than letting anyone get close.

Then Bellamy Blake refuses to leave her alone.

He's infuriating-too loud, too stubborn, too convinced he can save everyone. Juniper sees him as just another person who makes promises he can't keep. Bellamy sees someone who acts like she doesn't care about anyone while quietly risking her life for people who don't even notice.

The more they're forced together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's growing between them. Every argument leaves them thinking about each other long after it's over. Every near-death experience strips away another layer of Juniper's carefully built defenses. And every time Bellamy looks at her like she's worth understanding, she finds herself wanting to believe him.

For Bellamy, loving Juniper means accepting that she won't always say what she feels. For Juniper, loving Bellamy means facing the terrifying possibility of needing someone.

As war, loss, and impossible choices threaten to destroy everything they've built, Juniper struggles between her instinct to run and the undeniable pull she feels toward the one person who sees through every wall she puts up.

Because surviving Earth is one thing.

Letting Bellamy Blake into her heart might be the hardest thing she's ever done.
