Bellamy's POV

"What just happened?" I asked as I scooped a handful of berries into my mouth.

"Seems to me that you made the princess mad," Raven said.

"Yeah, why'd you do that, Bellamy?" Murphy asked.

"It was your fault! You had to open your mouth!" I screamed.

"Everyone just calm down—"

"Shut up, Monty," Murphy and I both said at the same time.

"You can't monopolize the radio, Bellamy. There's six of us here," Murphy said.

"There's only one person receiving our transmission and that's Clarke! You don't even know what you're talking about! It's like you're in love with—are you..you're in love with Clarke. That's what this has all been about!"

"Don't be an idiot, I'm with Emori," he replied.

"Why else would you want to 'help' me get back down to Earth when we had food, water, oxygen, and you had your girlfriend. You're in love with Clarke!" I shouted clenching my fists and stepped one step closer.

"Murphy?" Emori asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"He's lying! He's a compulsive liar!" Murphy exclaimed.

"Admit it, Murphy! You're in love with Clarke. Say it—say it!" I screamed.

"I'm not! I love Emori! You're insane!" Murphy shouted back matching my volume.

"Say you love Clarke."

"Bellamy—"

"Say it, Murphy."

"Would you be jealous if I said I was?" He smirked.

"What is happening?" Raven said in the background.

"Yeah, what is happening?" Emori asked as she let go of Murphy's arm.

"The only reason Murphy 'helped' us get down to Earth is because he's in love with Clarke," I answered.

"What are you going to do about it?" Murphy asked as he shoved me.

"Fight back, Bellamy!" He screamed as he punched me in the face

"Fight back, Bellamy!" He screamed as he punched me in the face.

"You get everything, Bellamy!"

But before he could hit me again, I grabbed his hand.

"I'm taking my radio, and I'm going to find Clarke," I said as I shoved him back. He stumbled back a little bit but regained his balance.

"What trip did you go on?" Echo said as her body was stretching and bending in front of me.

I wiped my eyes and saw her again except this time she was normal.

"Trip?" I asked.

"Those 'berries' Jasper picked? Yeah they were hallucinogenic berries. Whatever happened to you, wasn't real," she said as she touched my arm. I flinched away.

"I don't see what you guys are complaining about," Jasper said.

"So

"So..Murphy..you're not in love with Clarke?" I asked.

"Of all the things you can hallucinate, you hallucinate me in love with Clarke? You need a better imagination. I was the king of the moon and ruled over everything. My hallucinations are better than yours," he replied.

"I have to find Clarke..."I mumbled under my breath.

"Don't worry, Bellamy. Only 321 miles to go," Clarke said as she rested her head on my shoulder.

I closed my eyes and breathed in. I could almost imagine how her head would really feel on my shoulder. I desperately tried to imagine how it felt in the dropship when she asked me to stay with her.

"I want you to."
