"Ow, ow, ow." I stumble back from Octavia's kick and hold my hip that was still a bit fragile.

"Are you okay?" Octavia asks in panic as she rushes to help me but I nod to reassure her.

"It's fine, still just hurts from time to time." I explain as I stand up straight and give her a light smile.

"Maybe I should go easier on you then." She teases as we laugh and I push her lightly, walking over to the table to get a bottle of water.

"Yeah right, no one out there's gonna go easy on me just because I have a sore hip." I retort, taking a drink of my water.

Octavia had been teaching me how to fight the past three months. Once I was better after what happened in Mount Weather, fighting was the first thing I wanted to learn. I then heard Clarke went rogue and I knew I had to learn how to fight if I ever wanted to find her.

"Are you going out again today?" Octavia asks, her tone giving away her thoughts.

"I know you think I won't find her-"

"No, it's not that." Octavia states as I turn to face her. "I just worry about you, Sawyer. Like you said, no ones gonna go easy on you out there." She repeats my words as I nod. "And Bellamy hates when you're out there alone, just at least let someone go with you."

"I am." I say as Octavia's eyebrows raise slightly. "My father's coming with me today." I inform her as she nods.

"Hey, your dads looking for you." I turn around and see Bellamy walk up to us as I nod.

"Thanks again, O. Same time tomorrow?"

"You got it." Octavia lightly smiles at me as myself and Bellamy say goodbye to her and head off to find my dad.

"How was your hip today?" Bellamy asks as I nod.

"A little sore but bearable." I tell him as he nods but I could tell something else was on his mind. "What is it?" I ask as I stop walking and face him.

"I just worry about you." He tells me as I smile.

"You sound just like your sister." I say as he laughs slightly. "And I'll tell you what I told her, I'm taking my dad with me today, that's why he's looking for me."

"Just be careful, Sawyer. You're not fully healed yet and the thought of something happening to you again-"

I place my hands on the back of his neck and bring his lips towards mine. Bellamy places his hands on my hip ever so gently, being very aware of the sore points on my body.

"Stop worrying so much, Bella. I'm always careful." I whisper as I lean back a little to look at his eyes, my hands still on his neck and his on my waist.
