I don't own any thing but the story and events and grammatical errors. I am going through a break up and I decided to write to help. Hope you enjoy.

As the bell rang Clark continued to furiously scribble on a scrap piece of paper, as she jumps from her calculator to her math book and back again, completely oblivious to the movement around her. Suddenly lurching forward she is jolted out of her concentration. Looking up she sees Octavia leaning against a desk in her track gear with a grin plastered on her face. Looking back down at her math problem she sees a giant black pencil streak across it. Sighing she says, " You couldn't wait until I was finished?"

"This is more fun," Octavia laughed as she starts to clean up Clarke's books. Throwing them as fast as she can into Clarke's backpack not caring what page she was on.

"With the rate that you go, it could take you hours to finish," a voice behind her says. Octavia laughs and nods while Clarke just rolls her eyes.

"That's not true Lexa," Clarke huffs exasperatedly while helping Octavia clean up the rest of her stuff. Turning around to look at her best friend Clarke notices she's holding two coffees. Lexa has her bag slung over her shoulder she is sporting a rather bored look, but Clarke can see in her eyes she actually is amused. "I don't take forever. I just like to be thorough that's all."

"Right," Lexa drawls handing Clarke one of the coffees. Running her hand through her hair she stands up off the desk. "Is that what they're calling it now a days. Anyways I'm going to hit the hill for a couple of hours. Are either of you joining?"

"Yeah, I picked up a shift at the hill, so if I grab my uniform and drop my car off can we car pool? We should grab coffee after I'm off as well,". Clark says while standing up and walking out with Lexa and Octavia.

"It's Friday, you're both coming to my party tonight after all of this. Like you both promised last week," Octavia reminds them. "I have to go to track practice, I better see both of you tonight," she hollers over her shoulder as she walks down a different hallway.

Walking to the parking lot together Clarke and Lexa decide who's car they will take to the hill. "Ok Clarke I'll pick you up in 10 I am just going to run home and grab my gear." Lexa says while throwing her bag into the box of her truck.

"Grab clothes for the party as well," Clark yells back while jumping into her car. Shutting her door she peels out of the parking lot.

Clarke pulls into her driveway to see both her parents vehicles are home. Walking in the door she hangs up her coat and drops her bag on the floor as she yells, "Hey!"

"We're in the kitchen," her parents yell in unison. Walking into the kitchen she sees her dad standing on the counter trying to change the light fixture, while her mom sits on the counter handing him tools.

"Hey kiddo," Jake smiles as he looks down at his wife, "Darling pass me a Philips screwdriver, please." Abby digs around in the tool box and hands her husband the screwdriver.

"Did you have a good day at school? Are you hungry there's some fruit in the fridge." Abby asks.

"School was ok but I picked up a shift at the hill tonight. So I'm leaving in like 5. Also may I go to Octavia's tonight, please." Clarke looks at her parents with hopeful eyes.

"It's alright with me if it's alright with your mother." Jake says with a wink.

"Yes that's fine, I work tonight. Do you want me to pack you food to take to work? There is leftover lasagna in the fridge." Abby asks.

"Yes, thanks mom." Clarke yells as she's halfway up the stairs. She goes to her bedroom quickly changing and grabbing a change of clothes and her phone charger. While walking out she looks back in the mirror fixing up her hair one last time before grabbing her safety vest and rushing back downstairs.

Walking into the kitchen she sees Lexa standing beside Jake. He ruffles her hair and playfully pokes her in the side. "How's it going kiddo?"

"Good, mum and dad say they want you all over for supper more." Lexa laughs trying to fix her hair while trying to poke Jake back.

"Let's go Lex I don't want to be late for work." Clarke says as her mom hands her a brown paper bag. She looks in and sees two apples she pulls them out and throws one at Lexa. She dodges is and it hits Jake in the head ending there playful fake boxing match.

"Ow!" he chuckles as he picks it up and tosses it to Lexa who catches it. Clarke grabs Lexa and starts to drag her from the kitchen.

"Be safe my babies, and have fun," Abby says as she watches them both rush out the door. Shaking her head she looks at her husband. "Those two are something else."

"Always have been," he replies. While pointing at one of his favourite photos of two when they were little. Abby chuckles as they both think back to that day.

-Twelve years ago-

"Mom can we go to the hill now?" Lexa asked. Finding her mom in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on her Cake.

"No Lexa the Griffins will be here soon," her mother replied.

"The Griffins can come too," Lexa pouted. As she dragged her new snowboard behind her.

"Maybe another time dear. Go find you brother to help you tidy your toys off the living room floor, alright?" her mother asks while her father come in a picks her up and swings her around.

Lexa giggles "OK OK!" as he puts her down. Lexa runs off to find her brother in the living room playing with his trucks. "Lincoln, mom says we gotta put our toys away now."

"Ok, wanna see how fast we can put them away?" He ask her.

"OK GO," she says. They both race around the living room throwing as many toys into the bin as fast as they can, giggling at each other when they tired to grab the same toy. As soon as they throw the last toy into the toy bin the doorbell rings. They can hear their father answer the door and Abby and Jake voices moments later. The two race to the front door as fast as they can and run to see Clarke.

"Happy Birfday LEX!" Clarke shouts hugging the taller girl.

"Thank you," she says with a big toothy grin. All of a sudden Lexa hoisted into the air as Jake swings her around his body. She laughs and squeals as he turns her upside down and lets her hands touch the ground before he sets her down.

"Happy Birthday kiddo," Jake says as he messes up her hair.

"Thank you" Lexa says before she turns to her parents, "Can Clarke, Link and I go play now?"

"Yes sweetie we will be on the porch if you need anything and then after we will have cake." Her mom says. Lexa grabs her new board and Clarke and Lincoln. When they get to the living room Lexa shows Clarke her new snowboard that she got for her birthday.

"Do you like it? " she asks. Clarke nods as she looks it over and touches the design on the back.

"Is weally pretty Lex."

"She's sad she can't ride it today cause mom and dad won't take us to the hill and there is no show outside" Lincoln say looking sadly at his board against the wall. They all sit there thinking.

Until suddenly Clarke stands up. "I gots a plan. Uhh how bout wes put some snow on da stairs den you can try out da board.

"but there is no snow outside," Lexa says.

"Maybe wes can find some in da house." Clarke suggest.

They all sit there thinking for a little while when Lincoln jumps up. "OH I KNOW WHERE." Lincoln shouts running into the kitchen and comes back dragging the 10kg bag of flour on the floor. "There is also sugar that would make good snow too." He says.

"Oh we will help" They say in unison as they all rush into the kitchen. helping each other drag bags of sugar and flour. When they have a total of 1 and a half bags of sugar and 2 bags of flour they start to spread them up and down the stairs, until you can't see the hardwood but just white powder. They were all covered head to toe in flour laughing as they start throwing flour at each other.

"This is gonna be awesome," Lexa says. She walks up the stairs with her new board and boots. "Link what if I fall? I need a helmet." she says while looking around for one.

"Oh I put dis pillow at da bottom for you," Clarke says as she fluffs up a pillow at the bottom of the stairs.

"Here is your helmet." Lincoln hands her, her helmet.

Lexa sits down at the top and starts to strap herself in. Once she is down she stands up and jumps a little on her board. Positioning herself at the top of the stairs as she gets ready to jump.

"Ok, Lex weady," Clarke had shouted up the stairs just as Abby and Cindy walk into the house to witness the disaster.

"Clarke Emily Griffin"

"Alexandra Ann Green and Lincoln Theodore Green"

The three kids looked at each other wide-eyed sharing guilty looks. Jake and Eric had heard the commotion and ran in to see the problem, both trying to stifle their laughs as they arrived at the scene. Jake ran to go get the video camera, and Eric pulled out his camera. While their moms scolded them. "What are you three doing?" Cindy asks.

"Me, Lex and Link wanna use da new board and, Lexa say she show me how," Clarke replied with a very serious look on her face. The adults exchanged glances and just smiled.

Abby gets down on her knees and looks at the children. "Do you know how dangerous this is?" She asks. "Not only that but you made a big mess. How about if you help us clean up and promise to not snowboard down the stairs we can have cake. Then after if there is time we can go to the hill."

"YAY," the three kids yell in unison. This was the first day Clarke was on a Snowboard.

Present Day -

Watching Lexa do a backside rodeo, Clarke knew this is where Lexa belonged. Hearing Clarke cheering Lexa turns around to give her a thumbs up. All of a sudden Clarke's Radio Goes off. "We have a rider down on the blue diamond Mickey Mouse trail," the voice says.

"Radio 308 on it sir," Clarke replies while hoping onto the snowmobile beside her flipping on the flashing light. Speeding over to the accident Clarke sees a little boy sitting in the snow with pain evident on his face.

"Whats your name?" Clarke asks the boy.

"Mike," He replies with a painful grimace.

"Ok Mike, tell me what happened and what hurts," She says while crouching down to his level and opening up her first aid kit.

"Well I was skiing down this hill and I hit that bump and landed funny, but now I can't stand on this ankle." He says pointing down at his leg, as she starts to grab out supplies.

"Do you mind if I take a look at your ankle please," She asks as he nods. Carefully taking off his ski and boot Clarke prods at his ankle gently as he winces. She moves it around gently watching Mike wince in pain. "Your ankle doesn't look broken just sprained so I'm going to wrap it up and take you back to the lodge and you can go to the hospital from there. Alright," She tells him. Again he nods as she helps him onto the back of the skidoo. Arriving back at the lodge she starts to fill out the paperwork with Mike and his parents before he goes off to the hospital already feeling a little better.

Deciding to start her break Clarke goes and sits at a bench in the lodge with her lunch her mom packed. She starts doodling on her napkin with a pen when all of a sudden she feels hands rubbing her back. Relaxing immediately she greets the intruder, "I didn't know if you were going to join me on my break or keep shredding."

"How could I pass up the opportunity to sit with such a beautiful girl who looked so lonely," Lexa grins with a half smile as she continues to massage out the knots in Clarke's back.

"How charming," Clarke winks as she starts drawing lines on the napkin. "5 letters go, Its how I feel."

"Happy?" Lexa asks.

"No, and there isn't a H, A, P or Y in it thats 4" she says as she draws a hat, head, body and arm.

"E,"

"Yup 1 E," she laughs as she writes it down _ _ _ E _.

"Tired?" Lexa says as she rubs out a particularly large knot.

"Right on," Clarke nods as she yawns tears starting to fill her eyes.

"No, need to cry about it there," Lexa says raising her eyebrow as she quickly steals a carrot from Clarke's lunch.

"Hey, and I am not crying." Clarke laughs holding up a fork full of lasagna to Lexa. Lexa leans over and takes a bite.

"Your mom cooks like a god," she moans as Clarke tries to give her the fork, but ends up feeding her the rest of the food.

"Why am I feeding you? You have hands." Clarke points out.

"You love me! I'm going back to get in another hour of practice, i'll see you when you're done." She stands up and kisses Clarke on the cheek and runs out, leaving Clarke to shake her head and clean up.
