Bellamy's question made Althea a bit surprised that he even cared. "Yeah."she answered looking into his brown eyes. "Well,happy birthday,Ginger."he said with a small smile on his face. "Thank you."Althea almost whispered and then glanced at Charlotte,Bellamy looked at her too.
"A child shouldn't be here."Bellamy said making Althea look at him. "There are many things the Ark made kids do,"Althea said with a sad smile."Like hiding under the floor." Bellamy gave her a look with one of his eyebrows raised. "What is that supposed to mean?"he asked. "Octavia told me about Atom."Althea said with a pang in her heart at the mention of the one she couldn't save."About the fact that you did something to him that drove him away from her.I understand the need to protect her but she isn't under the floor anymore,Bellamy,she's a teenager-"
"Look,ginger,you don't have a sibling,don't tell me how to treat mine,ok?"Bellamy snapped making Althea scoff. "I wasn't allowed to have one,neither were you.I had to find the rest of my family,blood or not.You know who are like brothers to me?Monty and Jasper.Remember them?You're trying to kill one of them,there's a clue."Althea hissed making Bellamy look at the floor with guilt. "Only to stop his pain,you and Clarke can't save him,accept that!"Bellamy said making Althea's heart hurt again. "I am not losing another member of my family!I don't wanna go through that pain again!"Althea almost shouted,tears filling her eyes.
She pressed her head on the stone and her hands took the tears from the corners of her eyes. Bellamy looked confused at her for a second,she looked at him and sighed. "My father."she whispered making him close his eyes and sigh.
"I know how it's like to lose a parent."Bellamy said after a few seconds surprising himself,he was about to open up to a complete stranger but he couldn't help but do it.Something made him want to open up to Althea."I lost my mother when they found Octavia.It was a crime,she had a second child and she had to answer to her crime.I was crushed,I was alone and I didn't know if the pain would ever go away.But it does,and you feel lighter after it does."
"You tell me that but you are about to put me through the same pain,"Althea muttered."What if it was Octavia speared and not Jasper?If someone told you what you told me you would have killed that person in a second.Because she is your little sister and you know you could save her.I know I can save Jasper.But we need more time,me and Clarke need more time.And I'm not gonna allow you or anyone to take that time from me."Althea declared. Bellamy scoffed,his pride not letting her know that she's right.He wouldn't let a soul kill his sister.
