Hey all! I can't tell you how much the reviews mean to me. It's very encouraging to hear people are with me on wanting something like this to happen, and that I have readers who are excited to read every time I post a new chapter.
I know the chapters are short, but better that than updates that aren't as often, right? Enjoy!
"Bellamy, this is day twenty seven after the rocket left. It's been almost a month. Can you believe it?"
"No."
"It's funny, I've been away from my friends for longer, but I feel so alone."
"Me too."
"Maybe it's because before you were always there go to back to.
"I'm running out of food in the lab, but I don't want to go out until I have to. If I get sick again I won't be able to search for food. I wonder what food will be left."
They were running low on food too.
"I've been exploring the lab. It's fancier than even Wells' place on the Ark. I found a pool yesterday and taught myself to swim."
"You could have drowned."
Clarke laughed. "And now you're upset with me because there's no one else here to make sure I don't drown, and nightblood doesn't protect from that. Don't worry, Bell. I was fine. Please don't frown like that, I worry that you'll get wrinkles."
Bellamy snorted.
"I'm off to face the day now. Goodbye, Bellamy."
"Bye, Clarke."
No one ever intruded on those mornings. They all knew he was there, listening to the radio, but they also knew the messages were addressed to Bellamy.
Some mornings he would tell them about Clarke's adventures at breakfast, some days he held out until dinner, and other days he would stay silent.
No one took the one thing he had left.
