Are we going to talk about the fact that Clarke Griffin most likely always associates ‘I love you’ with ‘goodbye’. She told Finn she loved him just before he died, she told L*xa in the COL right before she left, when her mom tells her she loves her in 4x12- she replies with ‘this isn’t goodbye’. Clarke Griffin always associates those two things. But when Bellamy starts with what looks like a confession (‘Clarke, if I don’t see you again’) she shuts him down - tells him they will meet again, that she’s sure of it. She doesn’t want to say goodbye. And the scene in 4x13 also reflects this, the entire episode she’s of the belief she might die, but she doesn’t want to - she wants to go to space, with her friends, with Bellamy. And so when they are about to be separated, she stops him - and it looks like she might confess for a wild second but instead she tells him to ‘hurry’. She’s not telling him she loves him, she’s not accepting this as a goodbye between the two of them, that this is the last chance she has to say it - she’s telling him to hurry up, a promise that they will see each other again, that this isn’t the end. Clarke Griffin is terrified of saying goodbye to Bellamy Blake, because she never wants to.
