"Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward."

14.

"Murphy! Taylor said when that happens to roll him on his side!" I hear Octavia shout. My eyes open and I slowly sit up. I feel a lot better then before and I can actually stand without feeling dizzy.

"About time, sleepy head." Octavia smiles at me and I return it.

"How long was I out?" I ask her. she seems fine still and I'm glad for it. Bellamy would beat himself up if she was sick.

"Not long. Maybe about 15 minutes." She tells me and I nod.

A loud coughing disrupts our conversation and I look to see two guys carrying in Bellamy. My eyes widen and I run over to them. Me and Octavia set Bellamy down and roll him on his stomach. He immediately throws up blood and I cringe at how sick he looks.

"Bell, hey, big brother." Octavia says moving the hair out his eyes trying to calm him down. He looks a little more relaxed at her touch and it warms my heart.

"I'm scared." He admits. I've never seen Bellamy this vulnerable before. It's a different side of him. Even the night of the day trip to the bunker he wasn't as vulnerable as he is right now.

"I won't let anything happen to you I promise." She tells him and I decide to get up to get him some water and to let them have their moment. I grab a cup off one of the tables and go back over to Bellamy. As I crouch down, Octavia stands up and nods.

"Here drink some water." I lean the cup to his lips and he drinks, then lays back down. I place the cup to the side and I look at him.

"How do I look?" He whispers, a light smile on his face and eyes squinted.

"Handsome." I tease.

He grins.

"Didn't peg you for a liar, princess." He says through his cough. I cringe at the horrible sound, I wish he didn't touch me, now he's sick for doing so. But that's Bellamy, always putting others before himself. That's one of the reasons I'm crazy about him. He's changed.

"Well, I'm not lying." I say laughing lightly. He does looks handsome. His hair is in a curly mess; something I have always loved, his freckles are still so prominent across his nose, and despite the dried blood on his lips I still want to kiss him. He looks handsome. How can someone still look beautiful even when they are sick? I shake the thoughts away. We're just friends.

"Get some rest, Bellamy." I say and he nods his head and closes his eyes but not before grabbing my hand whispering stay. I stay there holding his hand and watch him fall asleep. Once I know he's fast asleep I slip his hand from mine and get up. As much as I would love to stay for Bellamy, I still have to help the other sick people.

"Bellamy sent Jasper to set up a bomb at the bridge to buy us more time." Octavia says letting me know what's going on since I have to stay inside the dropship.

"Okay good. Who made the bomb?" I ask her while drying my hands on a cloth from blood and gunk that has gathered.

"Raven." She says and I internally groan at her name. I still don't like her and she's given me all the reason not to. But I have to say she is very smart and has helped a lot.

"Taylor, um.. I cut myself." A boy walks up to me and shows me his arm. I sigh and look at the cut. It's deep enough for stitches so I get the supplies out. He sits on the table while I start to stitch him up. Octavia tells me Murphy will take over for her so she can get some sleep and I nod and focus on the stitching.

"Next time be more careful." I tell him as I finish the stitching. He managed to cut his arm on a piece of scrap metal.

"Yeah yeah." He says and gets off the table and walks out of the dropship.

"When I get better...if you're still here." I hear a familiar voice say. I turn to see Bellamy sitting up with Murphy trying to hand him a cup of water and cloth. I walk up to them.

"I got him, Murphy." I tell him and grab the cloth and cup from him and I sit down by Bellamy.

"Here." I hand him the cup and he takes it from me and chugs down the whole thing.

"You feeling better?" Bellamy asks me. I can't help but laugh through my nose. Same old Bellamy making sure everyone else is okay even when he's not.

"Yeah, are you?" I question him and he nods.

"You seen Octavia?"

"She was up all night helping people. Murphy gave her a break." I explain to him and he looks at me strangely.

"Don't tell me you trust him now."

"Trust? No. But he has been helping so I've decided to not kill him yet." I'm partly joking about killing him but part of me still wants to. My chest restricts thinking about Charlotte, thinking about that night. it seems like forever ago, everything's just happened so fast I never really got to grieve her properly.

He laughs and looks at me. I see he has blood around his mouth so I grab the cloth and wipe away as much as I can from his face.

"I still look handsome?" He asks me and I smile. I didn't think he would remember me saying that since he was half asleep.

"Nah, it was better when you were unconscious." I joke around. I don't want him to take my compliment out of proportion because I'm afraid he won't feel the same way back when he finds out that I have feelings for him.

"You guys good?" Clarke says walking into the dropship and we nod. She's been running things outside of the dropship while me and Octavia help out in here.

A loud explosion sounds and shakes the dropship before I can speak. We all walk out and look up to see a mushroom cloud.

"They did it." Bellamy says. I smile and look to them. Clarke and Bellamy both share the same smile.

"I am become death, destroyer of both worlds." Clarke starts to say, "it's Oppenheimer, the man who built the first..." Bellamy cuts her off,

"I know who Oppenheimer is."

After the long day I decided to visit the graves. We lost four more people today from the virus. I go outside of the camp and walk over to them. The four of them were  already holding the bodies beneath the fresh dirt.

"You're outside of the wall without a gun." Bellamy says, interrupting the silence. I laugh and lift up my shirt a little to show him the gun in my pants.

"I appreciate the concern though." I say and he nods and walks closer as we both look at the graves.

"We need to talk about Murphy. He was right about the bridge." I sigh. I hating giving Murphy the benefit of the doubt. I appreciate the intel and the help but there's no way I want him to stay. Every time I look at him I'm reminded of Charlotte.

"We'll see." He huffs.

"Octavia says the mountain men are pissed, whatever that means." I let him know.

"I'd say it means we need as many soldiers as we can get."

"So, what, we have pardon power now?" I ask him curiously.

"It's hard running things." Bellamy says and I laugh and nod.

"But it's our job. We all have jobs to do." I sigh and continue, "Thanks for catching me earlier. I'm sorry you got sick." I step closer to him to actually look in his eyes.

"It's not your fault, I was bound to get sick. But I'll always catch you, princess." My heart jumps at his words, I feel as if they hold a double meaning but I try not to read too much into it.

I decide that a hug wouldn't be bad, after today I need one, and something tells me he does too. I step forward wrapping my arms around his neck embracing him in a hug. He immediately wraps his arms around my waist and hugs back. I sigh into the hug and keep my head against his chest. My height puts me in the perfect place that I can faintly hear his heartbeat. He's warm and I don't want to let go but I have too. I pull away from the hug and keep my arms around his shoulders and he unwraps his hands from my back and slides them to my waist. Everywhere he's touching heats up making my heart beat faster.

"Goodnight, Bellamy." I whisper and pull away from him softly.

"Goodnight, Princess." I bite my lip at his gentle tone.

"You're up pretty early." Monty greets me as I walk into the dropship. He's messing around with the radio and one of the wristbands. We lost connection with the ark a few days ago and Monty has been trying to figure out a way to communicate again.

"Yeah well, I figured might as well get an early start on the day." I shrug and he nods his head.

"Do you need help with anything?" I ask him and he looks at me.

"Well that depends, if it's with all of this stuff, no. But I would like some water." He smiles wearily and I roll my eyes.

"You're lucky I love you." I grab his cup and turn around leaving the dropship and head straight towards the water tent. I go in and there's someone getting water. It's Raven. I ignore her and walk up to the the tube and twist the nob so the water comes pouring into the cup.

Raven speaks taking me by surprise, "Do you have a problem with me? Because if you do, speak up, Queen." I scoff at her attitude and I stop what I'm doing and face her.

"Hmm let me think, you electrocuted me and then you didn't even apologize." I say bewildered at her. She laughs.

"You really expect me to believe that you're mad at me because I haven't apologized? Please. I know the real reason you don't like me." She smirks like she knows everything. I roll my eyes at her. Why would she ask me then?

"Amuse me."

"I see the way you look at Bellamy, hell he looks at you the same way. You like him. Queen's got a crush on the king. " My jaw tightens at her words but before I can say anything she continues.

"You don't like me because me and Bellamy are friends. I see you practically murdering me In your head whenever I'm talking to him. But he doesn't know about your little crush, does he?" She sends me a wicked smirk.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I say as nonchalantly as I could. I couldn't let her see that she was getting under my skin. Or that she figured out I like Bellamy, the only people who knew were Monty and Jasper, and maybe Octavia.

"Bullshit. You and I both know you've got the hots for Bellamy."

I decide to not play into her little game. She's just trying to screw around with me and I honestly can not be bothered to continue this.

"Why don't you go find Finn... Oh wait, he's probably with Clarke." I smile at her knowing I got to her.

"Go screw yourself." She yells and walks out.

I roll my eyes as she exits, she was asking for it.

I fill up Monty's cup with water and head back to the dropship. Once inside I set the cup of water down by Monty and he thanks me.

Before I can ask him if there is anything else he needs there's a loud commotion going outside.

"What now." I huff and walk out. Everyone seems to be heading towards the meat station so I follow. When I arrive the meat station is in flames. Oh my god. I look around to make sure everyone is safe.

Bellamy and Octavia are talking, I know she was working here but she seems to be fine.

Clarke walks up next to me and sees the remains of the meat.

"This is all your fault! We told you it was too much wood!" Murphy yells walking up to a guy know as Del. Murphy shoved him and gets in one good punch. Murphy is in the middle of everything these days. Me and Bellamy never really talked about what we were going to do with him. I still want him gone. He causes nothing but trouble.

Murphy continues to fight Del but Del isn't having it, "Get the hell away from me!"

"Hey! Hey!" Bellamy hassles to shove them away from each other but he finally does, "Hey, stop! Save it for the grounders." He drops his hands once he sees they aren't going to try anything again.

"Now what the hell are we going to do? That was all the food." Octavia asks. The flames are making me sweat and I'm not even standing too close to them.

Bellamy looks to me and Clarke. I sigh. What are we going to do?

"Any idea what happened?" Clarke questions Bellamy. We finally got the fire to go down and everything is charred.

Bellamy sighs, "Murphy says that Del kept feeding the fire, mostly because Octavia told him it was a bad idea."

I interject after he explained, "And we believe Murphy?" I don't trust Murphy. Sure he helped out everyone when they were sick but it doesn't make him a good person.

"I do." Bellamy tells us and I sigh. If Bellamy believes him then I guess I do too. Bellamy detects bullshit when he hears it.

I look around at the mess, "Well is there anything left here?" Bellamy shakes his head.

"We have some wild onions and nuts in the dropship. It's only enough to last us maybe one or two weeks." Clarke tells us. Well this means we have to go out and hunt.

This might be a really bad idea, "Then we have to hunt. Anyone we can spare goes out." Clarke nods but Bellamy shakes his head.

"With the whole grounder army out there?" Bellamy gives me a pointed look.

"We can't defend ourselves if we're starving." Clarke defends my idea and Bellamy looks like he's contemplating it and then he looks at me and nods.

"Each group takes someone with a gun, and they're for killing Grounders, not food. We don't have the ammo. Use the spears for hunting. Get what you can. Be back by nightfall. No one stays out after dark." Bellamy explains to everyone in the dropship. We're all running around getting our weapons and preparing.

"Hey, Taylor, you going out?" Monty comes up to me and asks.

"I was going to but I think it's better for me to stay back, someone's gotta watch the camp." I explain to him. I shove a few berries in my mouth and help some kids load their guns. Everyone seems to be clearing out of the dropship already so it's not as cramped anymore.

He nudged me with his elbow, "Look at you, so responsible. But I never got to ask you how the soap worked out?"

"It was amazing, thank you so much, Monty." I pull him into a quick hug.

"Yeah well I'm awesome so." He shrugs and I laugh.

"Oh god, You're almost as cocky as Bellamy." I joke.

"Bellamy what?" I turn around to see Bellamy standing before me smirking.

"Oh nothing-" I try to say until Monty cuts me off.

"She said you were cocky." Monty takes some berries out of my hand, pops them into his mouth and walks away. I roll my eyes, he did that on purpose.

"Really?" Bellamy crosses his arms and even through his jacket his biceps bulge. Don't get distracted, Taylor.

I bit my lip, "Maybe. It's okay though. It works for you." I pat his shoulder and try to walk past him but he grabs my wrist.

"No goodbye?" He asks me.

"It's not goodbye if you're coming back, so see you later." I smile up at him and he nods.

"Well, I'll see you later." He turns away and walks out the dropship leaving me with butterflies in my stomach. What are you doing to me, Bellamy Blake?

A/N:

Hey everybody! So as you can tell when I say the next chapter will be up soon I mean really soon. So here it is, I really love this chapter because you can see Bellamy and Taylor getting closer and showing that they really do care for each other deeply. I loved writing this chapter so much and I hope you loved it as much as I do. Baylor is really cute and I'm having so much fun writing all these cute moments.

I wasn't going to say yet but I decided since I've been getting a lot of reads I will. I already finished writing for season 1 and I've already started writing season 2 so yay! All I do is edit when I post these chapters because they are already written to my liking, I just make minor changes. So there's a little fun fact for you all.

I love writing season 2 because I can explore so much more with not just Taylor but other characters as well along with their feelings. So please keep reading and I'll keep writing. Love you all so much! The next chapter will be up in a day or two.
