The Earth We Once Knew - John Murphy

Truce

we were still walking by the time the sun had come up. Finn was up front, I was behind him, then went Bellamy, then Murphy and that chick. I had been being forced to tell which direction to go in ever since we left the station, I know helping them should be a good thing, but I don't care to help people that could care less if I'm dead or alive.

Bellamy- alrighty right, Phoneix. where to now?

I didn't say anything which caused Finn to look at me hitting my arm as I rolled my eyes, Murphy spoke up

Murphy- why don't you say we lose these first, huh? *referring to the zip ties*

Bellamy- no, Phoneix again. where to?

Murphy- if we get attacked, we have nothing to defend ourselves with.

Bellamy- I don't care

I turned to Bellamy since we had stopped as I scuffed

Phoneix- and I don't care to help you, how about that hm?

he looked at me as did the others

Bellamy- what did you say?

Phoneix- what are you deaf now? I said I don't care to help anyone. for the record I never said I was going to, dipshit decided it for me

Bellamy- well if you help than you won't die or have to see our people die because you wanted to be selfish 

Phoneix- only being selfish since "our people" tried to kill me and you included. so don't blame me for not wanting to help your asses

Murphy looked at me shaking his head. Finn walked over and cut off Murphy's zip ties before walking to me and doing the same than started to walk off again

Murphy- thank you.

I rolled my eyes as I was moving my wrist, Bellamy walked over to Finn as we stayed back.

Murphy- what the hell are you trying to do?

I looked at him with a blank stare as I was already getting irrated by him ever since we got to the dropship

Phoneix- what are you even talking about, Murphy?

Murphy- I'm trying to keep us alive here and you just seem to not care. last time I checked you were saying how you didn't want to die.

Phoneix- yeah i don't but you call this keeping us alive? you're trying to be in control isn't keeping us alive Murphy. not to mention they did try to fucking kill us and still try to every time we are with them.

Murphy- are you ever going to let that go?!

Phoneix- no! I won't! 

I never yelled at him not once, it kind of shocked me as I didn't expect myself to even do it. his face showed it all, it was a mix of emotions written all over it.

Phoenix- you can forget what they did to you and me all you want, that's fine. but I won't. if I have to be "nice" to them to survive then so be it. also, don't expect me to go along with every little choice you make just because you are "trying to keep us alive". I can make my own choices; I don't need you to do that for me.

I walked ahead of Murphy as we started to catch up with Bellamy and Finn, he jogged past me to be next to Bellamy asking the dumbest question he could have ever asked

Murphy- so do I get a gun now?

not anything surprising, Bellamy shoved him forward making me chuckle slightly as I jogged to catch up being slightly next to Bellamy who looked at me than looked forward

Bellamy- what you want one now too?

Phoneix- nope I'm good actually. I rather die from grounders than touch one of your guns.
