Thanks for the awesome reviews guys, I hope you like the next part.

As I was washing my hands after treating him, I couldn't help but compare him to Charlotte; Jace was barely older than Charlotte, afraid of the world around him, and haunted by his memories from life on the Ark; it made me ache to comfort him. He was so young. When he awoke while treating him he didn't remember much, he asked what had happened I told him he was in an accident while trying to move a log and he grimaced, clearly displeased with his mistake he asked, "Are they mad," I couldn't help but laugh. I told him no; there was no need to get him all worked up over something so trivial. Besides I couldn't have him running around lifting logs again for awhile, not with his concussion.

But now he was asleep again on the cot in the corner of the room, and I kept a careful eye on him while taking stock and cleaning up. Slowly, though faster than I would've liked, my mind began to wander back to earlier that day with Bellamy. He had been so careful, so tender, and when our bodies met, mine flushed with a fire, ignited by his touch. Just remembering it now made my heart race, and my entire body start to ignite. "Princess," I spun around, expecting to see him standing there with his smug little grin on his face; only to be disappointed when it turned out to be Finn.

"Don't call me that," he had no right.

"Why? I was the first one to ever call you that, shouldn't that make it my nickname for you," he asked while starting to close the distance between us.

I put my hand up stopping him in his place, "No, it sure as hell doesn't. You gave that up a while ago, alright?"

"I told you I never thought I would see her again!"

"Well she's here now, so you might wanna go find her," I didn't want to hear all this again.

"Clarke we need to talk," he begged.

"Talk about what Finn? There is literally nothing to discuss, alright? You made your choice when you ran into her arms that day, and quite frankly I think it was the right one."

"Why? Because it gave you a chance to get closer to him," he spit the last word out, "he's the worst of us Clarke, and you go running to him," I slapped him then, the sound of my hand hitting him seemed to almost echo within the metal walls. He held his face, staring at me with utter shock.

"You have no right," with that I pushed past him, needing to get out of here, needing some air, but as soon as I pushed open the door I froze. There was Bellamy, leaning up against the wall staring back at me while a girl slowly left a trail of kisses down his neck. "Clarke I-…" I didn't wait, I took off running, pushing through the crowd I made it to the gate, without hesitation I threw it open and just kept running despite the pain of my ribs, despite the other ache I felt blossoming in my chest.

That night sitting around the campfire eating the meager meal of squirrel, I searched for any sign of her, I found that it was a habit now, even before we had reached our truce, it was a habit. But tonight it was more frantic, it had been a long day, and I knew she had to be in pain; so when I couldn't find her I found Octavia and asked, "Last I saw she was still tending to Jace in the drop ship; she says he has a concussion from the log falling on his head." I nodded, "Thanks, and hey, could we talk soon?"

"Sure," she agreed looking uneasy, but I would take what I could get besides right now I needed to find Clarke.

As I neared the drop ship I heard yelling, I got closer trying to make out what was being said. The way the voice spat out the word him, I had no doubt it was spacewalker talking to her about me. The thought was enough to make me want to barge through the door and lay him out flat, he needed to be taught a serious lesson. Though just before I could reach the door a hand snaked around my wrist, tugging me around. Looking down I found Harper smirking up at me, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers, "What do you want," annoyed at her intrusion.

"Oh, nothing," she replied as she began kissing my neck while inching her hand towards my waistband, "I just thought we might have some fun tonight, you know, it's been awhile," she batted her eyelashes as I placed my hands on her shoulders ready to push her away, and tell her not to bother when the door burst open to reveal a very angry Clarke. She froze, her eyes iced over even more as she took in the sight of my arms on Harper's shoulders while she continued to slowly kiss my neck.

Shit.

It was too late, the damage was done, whereas before her eyes were iced over, fuming at whatever spacewalker had said, when she saw me, it was like watching a single crack in the ice fissure out. I had hurt her.

"Clarke, I-…" I needed to explain, but she took off running.

Shoving Harper off me, "Leave," I commanded. I needed to go find Clarke, I needed to make her understand; I was about to run after her when a fist came out of nowhere, slamming into the side of my jaw, stopping, I slowly turned around. The spacewalker was standing there shaking his hand out, glowering at me. Grabbing him by the collar I shoved him up against metal side of the drop ship.

"If you so much as touch her, much less hurt her ever again, I will personally make your life here a living hell," I was livid.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the one who just hurt her, not me," he rebuked. The fact that I knew he was right only made me want to punch him more.

Tightening my grip on his collar, "You used her, Collins, you don't deserve her as even a friend," I seethed.

"And you do?"

It was such a simple question, one that I had been avoiding. I knew that I didn't deserve her, she was everything good it seemed, while I was everything bad. But she balanced me out, she was the light to my darkness, and without her I knew that I couldn't do this. I didn't just want her, I needed her. Which is why I would do everything in my power to make sure she was happy, safe, and healthy; and I hoped by doing so, I might prove to her that I was good for her too.

Releasing my hold on him I backed up, "You don't think I know that," it was all I could say; he knew as well as I did that I didn't deserve the princess.

"So leave her alone then."

"It's not that simple," with that I turned and slipped into the darkness of the woods, I knew I wouldn't rest until I found her.

I know this one was kind of short but the next one is longer I promise! So keep checking back in, there's more to come soon. Until then keep posting comments, I love reading them. :)
