Clarke:
Everyday at the same time I find myself sitting at my desk near the window in the front of the medical center that I ran, and everyday i could see this small gang standing on the corner across the way. It was a small group consisting of 3 girls and 1 guy. A weird looking group, and it sees like the "leader" of the gang is actually the smallest and youngest of the girls. Everyone else seemed to follow her around and take her orders. I didn't know anyone in the group but after watching them day after day, I wish i kind of did.
"Dr. Griffin, your next patient is ready" my assistant said from the doorway pulling my attention off the group outside
"Thank you Octavia," I said standing from my desk, "and please, call me Clarke."
Lexa:
I don't know why, but i always feel drawn to this part of town. My "gang", if that's what you want to call it, always follows me around, even for just my short walks down here. It's like they are too afraid to leave me alone. It's not a dangerous area, we hang in much worse, but god forbid if their "commander" as they like to call me, gets any alone time. We are standing on our usual street corner across from a medical center when one of my "followers" taps my shoulder.
"Lexa, why do we always head this way. There is nothing to do over here."
"Anya, I've never said you, Indra, and Lincoln had to follow me." I said in my stern voice. "I can be okay on my own for a bit you know."
They all looked at me like i had three heads before turning and talking to each other. I turned to look around at my surroundings before my eyes settle on the blonde doctor in the office across the way. She is always sitting at her desk at this same time everyday, going through paperwork and occasionally peering out the window in our direction. I don't know if she ever really sees us, but I always see her. That's when it dawns on me. I walk this street because of her….to see her!
Chapter 1:
Lexa:
A week has past since the realization that i have a crush on the blonde doctor. I have spent every free moment i had in that part if town no in hopes that i could catch a glimpse of her. Today only Lincoln and Anya followed me as Indra had some business to tend to. Neither Lincoln or Anya had caught on as to why I kept returning here, which i was grateful for. Well at least they hadn't...until today. We are standing on our usual corner across from her office when one of them speaks.
"Commander," Lincoln started and I raised my hand to stop him. He knew what i meant, "Lexa, for real, why do we always end up here?"
Before i could even come up with an excuse out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of her sitting down at her desk….right on time. Her blonde hair is handing in very loose curls over her shoulders. And the way she just threw it to one side as she tilted her head to the side to write is adorable. I try my hardest to suppress a smile as Lincoln is still looking at me, but i couldn't hold it any longer and I can feel a grin spread across my face.
"Command...Lexa, what the hell are you smiling at so big?" Lincoln starts following my gaze across the street. "Oh jesus Lexa, don't tell me we have been hanging around on this street corner for you to oogle a girl!?"
I turned and looked at them both and shake my head while rolling my eyes. They know that after the murder of my girlfriend Costia three years ago that i have been very lonely and scared to get back out there. I thought they would be happy for me, happy that i was showing interest in someone, but instead I was getting this. Well I shouldn't say that. Anya seemed to be interested in what was happening as the closest to me, she always told me to get back out there. I think she was just surprised it was finally happening.
I turned back to the window and my eyes were met with hers.
Clarke:
After a stressful morning, I was finally getting a moment to sit and go through some paperwork. It just so happened to be at my usual time. I walked into my office and plopped down into my chair at my desk with a heavy sigh. I pulled out a bunch of papers that needed my attention and flipped my wavy hair over my shoulder to get to it. After only one page i lost focus and found myself staring out the window again. The gang was there again but one of them, the eldest, was missing. The leader was facing the man and i watched him smirk and then she was shaking her head as in disbelief. Her hair was long and dark brown and she almost always had braids in it. Just then she turned back to face my building and her eyes caught mine. I can't tell the color of her eyes from here but her eye makeup is making them pop. I finally realized i was staring when I saw a small smile and slight nod from her. All i could do was smile back in embarrassment before turning back to my work. I thought while i worked; who she was? Why she hung around this area so much, just basic stuff, then I started to think about what color her eyes might be, and what her voice might sound like, things you only really think about when you might be interested in someone. I was shook from my daydream when the phone rang.
"Dr. Griffin, you have a call on line two." Octavia says as i answer the phone
"Thank you Octavia," I respond before switching lines, "Hello, this is Dr. Clarke Griffin, how may i assist you?"
As I listened to one of the lab workers from down the street talk about a sample they had just received. I turned back to look out the window to see that she and her crew we gone.
Lexa:
After I gave the doc a small wave i noticed her blush slightly. It made me smile again. She looked away, focusing back on her work. I stood and watched her for a few more minutes before we left back towards our ACTUAL hangout.
"So, what are you going to do about doctor hotness?" Anya asked from behind me.
"I don't know yet." I answered honestly. "I need to find a reason to get in there."
"Get yourself sick." LIncoln laughed. I turned around and glared at him.
"Don't be stupid Lincoln." I said on my strong voice, "It needs to be perfect, not a snotty mess."
"Sorry Lexa," He apologized looking down at the ground now.
I turned around again quickly smacking them both in the face with my long hair. As i started walking again I started talking to myself out loud.
"It needs to be perfect."
Lexa:
I let a day pass before i decided to venture back over to see if I could see her. I spent all day yesterday trying to come up with a plan to get inside, to talk to her, but I fell short with every idea. I couldn't wait any longer...I needed to see her again. As I was headed out the crew showed up just in time to prevent myself from going alone..again. I rolled my eyes and started walking with them in tow. We go about a block away when we saw a rival group walking towards us. It was the Azgeda crew. We could tell by the white bandanas tied around their biceps. This was the crew responsible for the death of Costia. Indra and Anya ran back, as they had been cowards lately, while Lincoln and I stood our ground. As the grew closer to us, I noticed Lincoln move over in front of me, protecting me from whatever may or may not happen. This was my war though. They killed my girlfriend for an issue that i caused. This was my war and I wasn't going to let Lincoln take the fall for my mistakes. Just as i saw a blade pulled from one of their pockets i jumped in front of Lincoln taking the blade to my abdomen. I feel to the ground instantly moaning loudly in pain. I looked down to see the blade still sticking out from my stomach, blood surrounding the area. My vision slowly started to blur as i watch Lincoln fight them all off himself. I fought to keep consciousness, but it was a struggle. I thought I could feel myself dying but then I realized it was just Lincoln picking my up off the sidewalk. He was running, I couldn't tell which direction we were going but we were definitely moving fast. I heard a pair of doors slam open and then the sound of Lincoln yelling. Even tho I was in his arms it sounded like he was miles away.
"Help! Someone help me please!" he yelled. I felt my almost lifeless arm fling about as he turned around over and over again looking for someone.
Suddenly i felt my body being placed on a flat surface, probably a stretcher. I opened my eyes and tried to look around. Blurry objects rushed by me as i was being rushed down a hallway.
"What's her name?" a woman asked
"Lexa, Lexa Woods." I heard Lincoln say
"Age?"
"24"
"Raven, page Dr. Griffin immediately. Room 3! Move it people move it! I'm sorry sir but you are going to have to stay out here"
Everything was happening so fast. Before I could realize what was happening there was something over my face and i could feel myself drifting off to to what I was hoping was sleep.
Clarke:
"Dr. Clarke Griffin to OR 3 immediately, Dr. Clarke Griffin to OR 3 immediately!"
I stood up quickly from my desk and ran out of my office to the wash station to scrub in. I scrubbed quickly and ran into operation room 3 to see the leader of the gang i watched from my office window asleep with a knife in her abdomen on the table.
"Female, 24, stabbed in the abdomen about 20 minutes ago. Pulse normal, blood pressure one hundred over sixty, and dropping." Octavia recited loud enough for everyone in to room to hear. I swiftly gloved up approached her. They had already cut her shirt off and sanitized the sight. I knew exactly what I need to do to save her, but with her blood pressure dangerously low and dropping i needed to work at great speeds to give her the best chances. Without hesitation I started my work. I was going to save her….I needed to!
