So some people mentioned that if Wick is no longer going to be in the story then Anya should never be brought up, however the reason I will not do that is because Anya is too important to Lexa in the show. i know she isn't mentioned as much buts its obvious she was important to Lexa and by extension Lexa's relationship with Clarke. Wick on the other hand doesn't appear to be important to the story (on the show) anymore, he's been mentioned once but I think he is just another thing to add to the list of Raven's heartaches. Also a lot of people asked why Steve Talley got fired. I heard that there was some controversy surrounding his Twitter account somehow or another Adina Porter (Indra) was involved. I don't know the details but I also don't think it would be enough to have him fired. All of this is assuming its true. This is the internet after all.
Another note. Some people said they were having a hard time remembering Anya's role in the story and they are right to forget because I haven't even mentioned her yet. The following characters have not been mention either: Indra, Finn, Miller, Monroe, Pike (undecided), Kane, Wells, Maya, Titus (undecided), Aden, Nia, Ontari (undecided), and Roan. All of these will eventually be included whether in small ways or big ones. I have plans for this story to go very far and to places no other fanfic has ever gone before (*write previous sentence on post-it-note to save for Fanfic of the Year acceptance speech*) If you have suggestions for how any of these characters should be included in the story pm me or comment it. I would love to have readers' choice in this aspect of the story. Love you! Please Review!
Clarke can smell it before anyone in the group can see it on their map. The Beach.
The group parks near the Atlantic Ocean in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This is the first stop on their road trip to Connecticut. Clarke gets out of Lexa truck: aviators on, baby blue bikini, white cover up, pink flip flops, beach bag, and her sun-colored hair pull up in a bun. She takes a deep breath and feel her girlfriends lips press against her cheek. She smiles widely and looks the brunette over once, giving a nod of approval at her girlfriend's outfit.
Lexa wears a black bikini top, white flip flops, a baseball cap, athletic shorts, sunglasses, and her hair is back in a ponytail. Clarke is grateful that Lexa is not wearing a proper shirt in this moment, favoring the brunette's chiseled abdomen.
Octavia chooses to interrupt their eye sex. "We're at the beach, motherfuckers!" She screams as she sprints to the shore, Lincoln close behind. The other members of the group waste no time in chasing after Octavia who has already launched herself into the ocean.
Lexa remembers just in time that they all left a pregnant Raven to haul their beach belongings to their spot on the beach. She stops and goes to help Raven.
They set up on the sand and apply sunscreen to each other while the others swim in the Atlantic. Lexa can feel something is wrong with her but she can't quite place it. "What's going on, Rae?" She asks as she squirts more sunscreen into her hand.
"Nothing" She says and Lexa gives her that signature glare.
"Don't fuck with me, Reyes."
"Can I tell you a secret?"
"Of course." She says softly. "But before you do, you should know that I'll probably tell Clarke."
"I think I liked you better before you were whipped like an 1800's carriage horse." Raven jokes and the other brunette laughs. "You can tell her its okay."
There is a brief moment of silence until Raven speaks up again.
"Long story short I'm pretty sure Wick is cheating on me."
"WHAT!?" Lexa shouts but not loud enough for anyone nearby to hear. He eyes immediately dart to the ocean where their friends play. Her eyes instinctively find Clarke before finding Wick. She spots him dunking Jasper into the water.
"I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty confident. I saw some texts that sounded suspicious but I wasn't sure so I followed him for a day and he met up with a girl."
"Who did he meet up with?"
"She had red hair, I couldn't see her face—" Raven avoids the question.
"Who was she?" Lexa repeats.
"He…it was Costia." Raven relents and lowers her head.
/
"I surrender! I surrender!" Clarke shouts at Octavia to ease up her splash attack.
"I accept tribute in the form of food." She says with a slight bow of her head.
Clarke laughs and climbs onto her inner tube next to Octavia's. The two teens take a moment to come down off their high.
"Happy Anniversary, Clarkey" Octavia says with a smile.
"What are you talking about? Mine and Lexa's anniversary isn't until Wednesday."
"No I'm talking about our anniversary of the day we all met you." Octavia says grinning wildly. "We all love you very much."
"Awww, I love you too, O." Clarke says reaching over to hug the other girl.
"Happy Ten Months, blondie." She says smiling like a fool.
Just then Bellamy comes up behind them and flips both their inner tubes over, tossing them into the water. Both girls pop up out of the water to find Bellamy and Lincoln laughing uncontrollably with Harper, Wick, Jasper, and Monty grinning cheekily off to the side.
Clarke yells "Since I'm feeling generous today, you all have a five second head start before I jack slap every one of you." Clarke is pissed "Starting—"
"Yeah well I'm not feeling so nice today." Octavia says and launches at her brother first. The others scramble away and start swimming towards shore, Clarke is not far behind.
Harper is first to reach shore and she makes a b-line for Lexa and Raven who appear to be having a not-so-fun discussion.
"Lexaaaa! You're girlfriend is trying to kill us! HAALLLP!" She exaggerates, dragging out every consonant in her statement.
Monty and Jasper run up behind Harper shouting unintelligibly. Not far behind them is a very angry Clarke. Just before Clarke reaches her targets, Lexa launches out of her beach chair, picks Clarke up, throws her over her shoulder and runs down the beach with her girlfriend clutching her ass cheeks to keep from falling. The rest of the group is trying to keep up.
Lexa Woods is a fast runner on the basketball court, hard to keep up with even with her girlfriend tossed over shoulder.
It was quite a site to other beach-goers and bystanders.
/
Raven, in her pregnant state, decided against running down the beach after her friends. But she called Wick back from chasing Lexa and Clarke to talk.
"What's up?" He says tentatively sitting in the chair next to her.
Raven, having never been one to dance around the point, says "I know you cheated on me."
Wick is dumbfounded and frankly shocked. He thought he covered his tracks pretty well: deleting texts, emails, Facebook messages. None of it mattered though because he had been caught. "I…I…I don't know what to say."
At that Raven stood up and slapped him across the face. "Don't say anything you dumb ass, bitch!" Ravens screams through the tears. "You promised me forever, and I trusted you! I am carrying your son and you disrespect me like this! What the fuck?! You can't respect me as your girlfriend and you can't respect me as the mother of your child!"
"Raven I—"
"Shut up, you fucking manwhore!" Raven shouts, tears streaming freely down her face. "GO away! I never want to see you again."
"Well then what do I do with you shit?" He says. They both realize he grasping for straws, looking for something to change her mind.
"I don't know. FedEx it to me! I don't give a rat's ass what you do with it!"
And with that Kyle Wick stood up, walked away and out of Raven Reyes' life, never to be seen again.

20 Minutes Later…
The group (excluding Raven and Wick) are walking back up the beach towards their set up on the shore. Bellamy and Harper hold hands. Lincoln is carrying Octavia bridal style in his strong arms. Jasper and Monty are throwing sand at each other. And Lexa is piggy-backing on Clarke while she gently and lovingly places kisses on the back of the blonde's neck.
Lexa spots their chairs and umbrellas before anyone else. She sees Raven sitting on her chair, reading a book just like they left her. But Lexa heard Raven call Wick back to talk. So where is Wick? She hops off Clarke's back and her girlfriend looks at her quizzically.
Lexa looks around again but Wick is nowhere to be seen. She glances back at Clarke once who gives her a sweet smile and then the brunette jogs ahead to Raven.
"Hey, where's Wick?" Lexa asks as soon as Raven is close enough to hear her.
"Gone." The other teen says without looking up from her book.
"Well where did he go?"
"Home." Raven says still not looking up.
"What?" Lexa asks, very confused. "Did you confront him?"
Raven simply nods.
"Wait so you confronted him about cheating, then you broke up with him, then he just left."
Raven nods again.
But before Lexa can say anything else someone behind her speaks up. "Wait you and Wick broke up?" It was Clarke.
She spins around to face her girlfriend who has a look of shock on her face. The others appear to be shocked as well as worn out (Jasper and Monty are shocked, worn out and covered in sand).
"Everyone is tired lets go get lunch and we can talk about it." Lexa says before turning back to look at Raven for approval. Raven (once again) simply nods.
/
When Clarke and Lexa walk back to their vehicle they find a pile of stuff sitting on the ground next to the driver's side door. There is a bag with a name on it: Reyes.
/
They pull up at the restaurant and Clarke hands Raven the bag with her name on it. Raven appears to be confused at first but then realization washes over: Wick left it because it was in his car.
Inside the restaurant Raven explains the entire situation to the group. Lexa notices Clarke tense up when Raven tells them that the girl Wick met was Costia, the brunette reaches for her girlfriend's hand and squeezes reassuringly.
Soon after the group goes back on the road, heading towards their other planned stops such as Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New York City,and eventually they would reach their destination: The University of Connecticut Main Campus.
/
After a week and half of site seeing and driving the gang pulls up at their new home.
Octavia, Lexa, Jasper, and Monty will all be staying in the dorms but the others made plans of their own. Lincoln, Clarke, Harper, Bellamy, and Raven got individual apartments all in the same building on the same floor. Clarke will start her classes in the spring, Raven won't start school until after her son is born, Lincoln will be taking night classes, and both Harper and Bellamy (sharing an apartment) plan to put off college until they can afford it. Lincoln got his own apartment with plenty of room for his girlfriend as well for when Octavia moves out of the dorms next year. Clarke made the same plan for her and Lexa but while Lexa lives on campus Raven will be staying with Clarke. They also pre-interviewed via skype for their new jobs. Clarke plans to work at a coffee shop until further notice while Lexa got a job at the local YMCA. Lincoln got a job as security guard for a department store and in that department store Octavia works as a cashier. Bellamy found work at Books-A-Million and Harper found a good job as a receptionist at a big company. Monty and Jasper both got jobs waiting tables at a restaurant that serves southern food called "Mr. Miller's"

Soooo yeah Monty is totally gonna bang his boss' son and GOODBYE to Wick he may or may not be missed. But for clarification Raven will be staying in Connecticut with the rest of the group. I tried to lay everything out and answer questions at the same time. A lot of people were wondering if Clarke was going to be attending Uconn too. She is she will just be starting later than everyone else. Also I know I originally said that Bellamy transferred to Uconn but I changed my mind on that and he just dropped out.
