The Earth We Once Knew - John Murphy

Memoires

the day went on, I did my best to help around and keep everything in line since we were left with Kane while Clarke, Raven, Bellamy, Abigal, Octavia and her grounder boyfriend all went with the 'grounders' to what I hear burn Finn's boy. I hated that idea as he deserved to be buried with the rest of our people, but I had no say in it, no matter how much I wanted to interject and scream in their faces. I couldn't. I stood in the medical room with my father as we were patching up some people that got hurt on the wires when they were on watch, I would say it's peaceful but that would be a lie. I kept thinking back to Finn and seeing him die I wasn't thinking straight

Alex- Phoneix. phoenix! *Taps her shoulder*

I turn to my father looking at him with kind of wide eyes as I had zoned out 

Alex- you almost poked yourself with that needle, be more careful and get your head out of the clouds

Phoneix- right sorry

he looked at me as I continued to stitch up the person in front of me, he waited till we were the only ones in here before we began to speak again

Alex- how are you after the whole Finn thing?

Phoneix- *shrugs* I don't know, just trying to get past it I guess and move forward since we have bigger things ahead of us that we need to worry about. like mount weather

Alex- *sighs* I don't like that idea of sending us all the way up that mountain, it's a death wish

Phoneix- we have to save our friends, dad. I may not have gotten along with most of them, but I won't let them die, I don't want any more blood on my hands that belong to my people.

he looked at me with a slight smile which made me frown my eyebrows together

Alex- you got that from your mother, the determination to save others. I'm proud of you kid, even with your mistakes

I smiled at him not really knowing what else to say till someone came running in making us look at them

Alex- what can I do for you?

Random guy- sorry but um Murphy is needing you, Phoneix

I nodded looking at my dad who gave me the okay to go. I kissed his cheek before I walked out of the room following the guy who brought me to Murphy. he was on watch by the wires, so I stood next to him

Phoneix- what's up?

he looks at me and takes my hand confusing me as he signaled for the guy who came with me to take watch before he dragged me away from everyone.

Murphy- I figured since we are going to mount weather soon that I could teach you better aim with a bow and arrow

I chuckled looking at him as I held my gun and he held his

Phoneix- are you saying it's bad Murphy?

Murphy- just a little

I shoved him lightly as he chuckled, and I did the same. I moved my gun, so it was on my back as he did the same before handing me the bow that he made, I set it up ready to shoot as he went behind me to position my hands better. I released the string, and the arrow went flying hitting the post as he cheered shaking my shoulders

Murphy- you hit something! at least you don't suck as much as i thought you did

i turned to him with a mock offense as I slapped his chest before he grabbed my wrist pulling me into him as we both looked at each other smiling as he leaned in and i did the same. we interlocked our lips as we shared the sweet but tender kiss. *next day* I stood with Murphy as we saw the 'grounders' come in, Kane was speaking to them as we watched from a little bit aways. I guess there's going to be a reception and they can't have their weapons which gives me a little bit of security but still a little nervous. we snuck back into the station and leaned against the wall where everyone else was as Kane came in with the other grounders, Murphy looked over it as I was kind of interested to see what happens. the lady that Kane called Indra moved forward, and man did she scare me but honestly looked cool. is that bad to say?
