"Bellamy, you have to promise me."

He shakes his head, not just in protest of her words but because he doesn't even want to be thinking about this in the first place. Clarke is standing in front of him with her arms crossed, the look of determination set firm in her features.

"Clarke, no. I can't do that." She rolls her eyes and sighs in disappointment but he doesn't care. She's too important to this camp (to him) and frankly he's pissed at her for even asking this of him. "If you ever get taken by grounders, I'm going to look for you. That's all there is to it."

"Bellamy, you can't. The lives of our people are too important and they need you. With or without me." She's looking at him expectantly, like she's just made a good enough point that he should be agreeing. He can't do that.

"I hate to break it to you, Princess, but they need both of us." He hates the look in her eyes, the one that tells him that she's right and he's wrong, and who knows? Maybe she is right but he doesn't care.

He tells her the odds of her getting taken by grounders is slim to none anyways and pushes past her to leave her tent.


His first instinct is to let Octavia and Raven take Myles back to camp while he goes to look for Clarke, Finn and Monty.

Clarke's words are echoing in his ears The lives of our people are too important and they need you and when he looks down at Myles and sees the kid struggling to breathe he thinks about what Clarke would do in this situation.

She'd make the hard choice.

Octavia is scared and Raven looks like she's about three seconds from a total meltdown and he only hesitates for a moment before making the decision he never thought he'd have to make.
