Bellamy's POV

"Is everyone okay?" I asked as we had just weathered out an acid rain storm in a shallow cave.

"My skin was just burning off, but yeah, all in all we're okay," Murphy replied sarcastically.

"Well maybe you should've ran faster, then you wouldn't have been so close to the entrance," I replied just as sarcastic

"Well maybe you should've ran faster, then you wouldn't have been so close to the entrance," I replied just as sarcastic.

"I saved your life," Murphy said.

"Are you going to hold that against me forever?" I asked.

"Probably," he laughed a little, but then winced because of his burns.

"Did any of our supplies make it?" I asked Raven.

"Yeah, we have some food, a little bit of water, and two blankets. Not bad considering," she replied.

"Bellamy, try the radio again," Monty said as he sat down next to me.

"I can't..you do it," I replied.

"If Raven fixed the radio, and Clarke really does hear, I'm one hundred percent positive she'll want to hear your voice."

"Fine, I'll do it," Murphy said as he reached towards my radio. 

"No! I'll do it!"

"See, Raven?" Murphy exclaimed.

"Okay," I breathed.

I pressed down the talk button and began talking.

"Clarke, if you can hear me, you're alive. I—we made it down to Earth, all of us. We don't know where we landed so if you could send us your coordinates, or anything, that would be great. I really miss you—"

"Bellamy, shut up!" Jasper shouted.

"Excuse me?"

"Do you hear that? That's static!"

"Give it to me," Raven said grabbing the radio.

She was pressing buttons, and turning dials, trying to tune into the signal.

"Hello?"

Her voice was crystal clear. She sounded older, she sounded so beautiful. I yanked the radio out from Raven's hand and began talking.

"Clarke?" My voice cracked.

"B—bellamy?" I heard Clarke say as she let out a small sob.

"If you start crying I'm going to start crying," I said as I started crying.

"I called you everyday and you never answered. I thought you were dead, you idiot!"

"The radio wouldn't transmit the signal both ways! I'm sorry," I laughed then continued,
"Clarke, I'm on Earth. Actually, we're all on Earth. Raven got us down. Where are you?" I asked overwhelmed with incredible joy.

"I'm already on my way to you. I saw the smoke. Bellamy, head West. I'm walking to you," she said.

"Clarke, I need to tell you something—"

"No, please don't. You can tell me when I find you," she interrupted.

"Clarke—"

"I'm serious, Bellamy."

"Can I tell you that I missed you?" I asked.

"Yeah, you can," and I swore I heard a smile in her voice.

"I missed you," I told her.

"I missed you, too," she replied.

"I don't even know what to say, how long has it been?" I asked.

"2,437 days if you want to be exact, but who's counting?" She laughed.

"I missed your laugh."

"Don't start with me, Bellamy. I'm serious," she said.

"Okay, okay. But if I can't tell you anything that I want to say, then I guess I better start running to you."

"I bet I'll find you first," she said.

"Is that a challenge?"

"No. It's a date."
