each of them have taken their own place by that window a few times over the last two years. for bellamy, sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps him going. even though the molten colors shine back so brightly in his eyes, reminding him that the earth is covered in radiated toxins, and the wave took out the vivid colors of the earth they’ve all comes to know and love and call home. in the last two years ( some seven hundred days ) he’s found himself wondering if octavia is still in that bunker, alive and and keeping the peace inside that safe haven.
the go - sci ring is no home to him. bellamy blake will never call the ark home again. sure, the earth never held pleasantries for long. whether it be watching his friends get stabbed, speared, or killed. or himself becoming the monster he always feared. it was still his home. on the ark, however, this was the place his sister was kept hidden under the floor. where she was committing a crime simply for being born. this is where the chancellor floated his mother. he was apart from octavia for a year while she spent her time in the skybox. – one year seems like nothing compared to five.
for one silent moment, he stands behind raven and watches as she takes her turn gazing at their burning home. “are you keeping count?” it would be a lie if he said he wasn’t. one thousand, ninety five days until he sees his sister again. the days aren’t moving fast enough. bellamy stands at her side and recalls the first day they took these same spots. ( you with me? - always. ) at this point, he’s unsure what he’d do in space without raven. his gaze follows her’s to the glowing colors before them. and – he’s sure his mind is playing tricks on him with that small green patch.
for a small moment, the look graced raven’s beautifully carved facial features turned sour ; how could he expect her not to keep track. they were in this foreign, unfamiliar place. sure, they were together, but nothing was the same. she didn’t trust echo as far as she could throw her, and here she was sharing a living space with her. how was she supposed to be comfortable and forget about their home when, as far as raven’s concerned, all of their lives were in danger? and sure, the fued between herself and murphy was over, and she’d forgiven him for shooting her, there was no way she could forget that. that was the main problem as they floated around in space; old memories came flooding back because there was no way to possibly make new ones. well, at least right now, she didn’t think they were making new memories because all she could do was watch and hope that someday soon their home would be restored.
but then she’s reminded of the torture and misfortune space had brought on bellamy. she knew more than anyone how much he hated it up there. he couldn’t find a way to his sister, and she was sure that killed him. but bellamy was STRONG; he was their go to. without him, she knew she wouldn’t be able to make it , let alone everyone else they shared the space with.
“ you’d have to be pretty stupid to think i don’t know you’re doing the same thing. ‘ her pony tail swings over her opposite shoulder as she turns to head to look back at bellamy; and after a short moment of eye contact, and watching him gaze out against the opposing planet, she looks back to the world in front of them. “ you see that? “ PAUSE. “ looks like the world is playing a sick joke on us. giving us hope that maybe we don’t have to wait the entire five years. “ and after a small moment of silence, she’s looking back at him, her dark eyes searching his sharp features.
