Finally, having calmed down from earlier, Bellamy glanced at Echo and smiled at her. He never acted like he wasn’t going to respond to her words. In fact, he answered her right when she spoke to him and never ignored her or kept silent to himself. Bellamy did not act like he was angry at her. He did not act like he was upset with her. Instead, he was smiling at her from the very second she walked up, so he did not react in such a way during the entire duration of their time. He wanted her to know that she had nothing to feel bad about.<br/><br/>“Thank you, Echo. It’s okay. You don’t need to worry. There’s just a lot going on and I know you were only trying to help. Like I said before, we’re going to be alright. This doesn’t change our relationship, regarding the feelings. I love you and I want you, only you. You’ll just have to hopefully deal with me having a child around now.” Bellamy kissed her again, pulling her against his chest. He did not know how so many people thought that he and Clarke were in love. Maybe she loved him once, but she clearly didn’t act like it now.<br/><br/>After the kiss ended, Bellamy stood up when the others were ready to go. “No matter what, please don’t go anywhere, even if Octavia upholds this stupid banishment of hers. I’ll talk her out of it and I won’t let them kick you out. You’re not going anywhere.” After telling her this, he looked towards Echo, then towards the others as they were ready. He went over the final decisions that needed to be made before they moved forward and started going towards the bunker. Hopefully this day would go better than the night had ended.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Bradley was not a fan of leaving Raven behind in the first place. Even if Bellamy or Harper were going to stay back, he did not like it. Now, when he learned that nobody else was going to stay back, Bradley felt he had a duty to uphold. There were still multiple people going to the bunker. They would be just fine without him. There was no chance in hell he was going to do this if it meant leaving Raven behind. She was his entire world, and if something happened to her, he could never move forward.<br/><br/>Everyone knew that Bradley believed in Raven, that he believed she could handle herself and take care of business. Even so, that did not mean he wanted to leave it to chance. They knew that splitting up was a horrible idea, in most cases. It was not going to start now. Before they left, he ended up kissing her and telling her goodbye, but quickly changed his mind about going. If anyone in the group that went to the bunker told him that he was needed, he told them to fuck off and walked back inside to where Raven was.<br/><br/>“Yeah, I’m not going. I’ll stay here with you. They’ve got it covered. They don’t need me. I will be needed here.” Bradley said with a smile, deciding to take a seat beside wherever his girlfriend was sitting, reaching out for her hand as the rest of the group started walking off now, going about their business to find the bunker, release their friends, and see what their next move was. Bradley had no regrets about the choice he just made to stay with Raven. It was the right one, and he knew Raven could never ask him to do it, but there was no other option for him here.
