It was good to hear that everything went well while he was asleep. The man continued listening to her explain how they were just a few hours away from his old place of residence. In a bit, they could stop, stretch, and get something to eat and drink. Her touch on his shoulders was welcomed, a smile lingering on his lips when she did this for him. She meant the world to him, so knowing that she was right there with him made everything feel much better. Then, she tried to make sure he had an open mind to this entire situation. It was a good thing, he supposed. As much as he wanted to believe that everything would work out, the chances that things would not work out were much higher.<br/><br/>“You’re right. I do know this already. Anything could happen, I need to be prepared for it. You’re totally right about that. I do hope that we find them safe and sound, but I know it is more likely we do not find them at all. I will keep a positive mindset, but I’m prepared for the worst.” It sounded horrible, but Bellamy was used to things being horrible these days. He just wanted to get it over with, to see what he would be feeling when he reached the dorm room. He was not prepared to feel what he might feel if they arrived to find the others dead or hurt. Bellamy tried to push those thoughts away right now.<br/><br/>“Thank you for that, Alicia. It means more to me than you can possibly imagine.” Bellamy responded to her last few statements, reaching down to squeeze her leg gently while she drove. “I know all my friends are going to adore you, especially Octavia.” Bellamy added, thinking about how Alicia looked a lot like one of their other friends that they had not seen in a while. After the next hour ended and it was time to park, Bellamy got out his gun before exiting the vehicle so he could keep watch while Alicia relaxed herself. “I should be able to drive the last few hours, Alicia. You probably need to get some rest. Don’t you think that would be better?” He asked. “Even if you can’t sleep, just sit back and relax. We should probably take turns.”
