The Instabilities of our Feelings (The 100)

Chapter 51: The Convoy

Ethan's POV:

Last nights events had caused a lot of problems for everyone. Without a stable home to live in, everyone was on edge of panic and chaos as praimfaya grew near.

People were scattered everywhere as they tried to recover from the smoke inhalation they had.

They had placed ilian, the boy who helped Octavia to our home, in a cell as he was the one who did it.

That same night everyone stormed the cell and tried to kill him but was stopped by the guards as Kane wants to give him a fair trial. I honestly believe that man should be dead. Now that we're all fucked because of him. I walked around the ship to see Bellamy and everyone loading barrels onto a truck.

"What's going on?" I ask Clarke who was watching them put the barrels onto the truck.

"We're gonna go deliver these Hydrazine barrels to Raven at the island so she can get the rocket fueled so we can go to space and make night blood." Clarke tells me.

"That's cool. I want to go." I tell her.

"I don't know." She says to me unsure.

"I'm going. You can't stop me." I say to her but stop to feel my head pound.

"Are you okay?" She asks me.

"Yeah I'm fine. I think the smoke inhalation is still affecting me." I say and wipe my nose after I felt liquid dripping down my nose. I look down at my hand and see it's covered in blood.

"I don't think smoke inhalation does that." Clarke tells me while she grabs a tissue and I plug my nose with it.

"There's an mri machine at the island. We can use that on you so we can find out what's wrong with you."

"Thanks." I say to her.

She smiles a little and walks away.

"Wow, She can be a bitch and be helpful." That oh so familiar voice goes through my head.

I look around and see Shawn standing next to me.

"Go away Shawn." I groan in annoyance.

"Can't get rid of me that easily Ethan. I always come back. I'm here for you." He says to me.

"Yeah I know is that all you ever say?" I scoff and look away from him.

"I'm always gonna be here for you..." he whispered in my ear.

"Stop It!" I shudder at his words and move away from him.

"Ethan?" Bellamy asked as he looked at me.

"I'm fine." I say and hop into the rover.

"Are you sure?" He asks me.

"I'm fine. Really." I say and look away, not wanting to have to him dig deeper into it.

He hops into the drivers seat of the rover with me as Clarke hops into the passenger seat to the right of mr and we take off along with the barrels of hydrazine.

"Everyone is on edge right now. We have to get these barrels to Raven in one piece through a forest full of warring clans and unexpected hazards that could happen. We are humanity's last hope for survival." Clarke says to us.

"What could go wrong?" I say to them.

The drive through the first was peaceful one to say the least. I rested my head on Bellamy's shoulder as he left his right hand on my thigh. The rover was very quiet as no one said a word since we left. That is until, Clarke broke the silence.
