1.7 Trust

 I turned to him, catching my breath "W-Where is Atom?"

Bellamy "probably still outside"

I tried to open the door but Bellamy blocked me.

Bellamy "What the hell do you think are you doing?"

I turned to him "Bellamy, Atom is still out there."

Bellamy "He's smart. He'll find a way to hide"

I said confused "We can't just leave him out there on his own"

Bellamy looked at me "We don't have a choice, Melissa"

Then he looked at Charlotte "You should take a nap. The fog won't go away that easily"

She nodded and sat down. 

Then she closed her eyes. 

I looked at Bellamy and sat down in front of the door.

Bellamy sat down next to me. 

He took his jacket off and handed it to me.

I raised an eyebrow at him. 

Bellamy chuckled "It's warmer"

I smiled and put it on "thank you"

He smiled. 

I sighed and leaned my head back against the door. 

Bellamy "What?"

I whispered because of Charlotte " I came down here to make sure they made it. And a dozen of the people i was supposed to keep alive are already dead"

Bellamy whispered "It's not your fault, Mel."

I whispered "still.."

Bellamy whispered "What happened last night? I heard you crying"

I looked at him and whispered "Doesn't matter"

Bellamy whispered "Don't you trust me?"

I whispered, amused "Do you really care about me trusting you?"

Bellamy went silent but then nodded "yes"

I whispered confused  "Why?"

Bellamy whispered "Because i trust you"

I raised an eyebrow, surprised "Why?"

Bellamy whispered "Because Octavia talked a lot about you. You mean a lot to her"

I looked at him and nodded  "I trust you, Bellamy."

Bellamy smiled "Tell me what's wrong"

I asked confused "Why?"

Bellamy sighed "Because i don't want to see you in pain or to get hurt. "

I took a deep breath "It's not a secret that my mother died when i was 5"

He nodded.

Me "The reason i came down her in the first place to make my father go through the same pain i'm going through right now. I found out that he lied to me for the past 17 years. Made me believe i was the reason my mother didn't want to live anymore."

Bellamy "You broke down last night, didn't you?"

I nodded.

I chuckled frustrated and hurt "I learned to hate her, Bell, he made me hate her. Hate based on a lie. A 17 years old lie"

I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

My voice cracked"I-i lost her and now i'm about to lose one of my b-best friends. I can't lose people i care about. I can't"
