The Earth We Once Knew - John Murphy

Pause

I woke up the next morning and was called outside along with everyone else as we were told that Chancellor Jaha and Abigal had something very important to tell us, I walked out and stood in front of them along with everyone else. I looked at Jaha and Abigal as they begun to speak 

Abigal- by now, you've all heard the rumor and unfortunately, it's true. Grounders are coming. we have a difficult decision to make. thankfully, Chancellor Jaha has found his way back to us and we're discussing all options

Jaha- *walks out more* but to be safe, you need to pack, now. whatever you can carry, we may need to leave at a moment's notice

random guy- where will we go?

Jaha- I don't know, is the answer. but I heard of a place, a city of light. it's across the Dead Zone.

random guy- what makes you think we'll make it there?

Jaha- because we made it here. I have faith and right now, given the alternative. that's good enough for me

I was standing there when out of nowhere Clarke stepped forward

Clarke- not for us. if we leave, what happens to our people in Mount Weather?

Jaha- as your mother said, that is a very difficult decision to make. but the time has come for each and every one of us to ask is this how the story of our people ends? did we come all this way just to die tomorrow? because if we're not gone by the time that sun rises, that is exactly what will happen.

Abigal- no decision's been made. In the meantime, please report to your station supervisor and gather emergency supplies

I started to walk away but my arm was grabbed making me stop and see Bellamy

Bellamy- hey uh you wanted me to see you before I did anything today

Phoenix- right uh just be safe okay, no dying. you have habit of doing that

Bellamy- *chuckles* do me a favor okay?

Phoneix- uh yeah what's up

Bellamy- whatever happens, don't leave this camp. you understand?

Phoneix- but they said *cuts off*

he put his hands on my shoulder making me look at him as I saw he was being serious

Bellamy- promise me

Phoneix- I promise Bellamy

 he nodded and ran off leaving me so confused as I walked to pack a emergency bag in case*Later on, in the day* I was sitting at one of the tables when they announced the camps leaving. I looked around and saw Finn running off, I wanted to follow him, but I forced myself not to. I remembered Bellamy telling me not to leave so I grabbed my bag and started walking the opposite way when I saw torches coming this way, the grounders are already here. I start running back away from everyone when I run into someone, it just happened to be Murphy

Murphy- Phoneix! I was looking for you, I know we are on a break, but I needed to know you were safe

we both stood up as I looked around seeing the Chancellors go inside with Clarke and Finn making me sigh

Murphy- why are you going this way? we are supposed to leave camp

Phoneix- Bellamy told me not to leave camp

he looked at me so confused as those words left my mouth and honestly, I don't blame him

Murphy- Bellamy? when did you talk to him? 

Phoneix- well we talked last night at the tables after he walked away from Clarke, we pretty much squished everything and move on. he wants to have a friendship and I agreed
