Everything happened in a blur. After Costia saw Lexa kiss Clarke she followed her back inside the house. Everybody went outside or home to give the couple some privacy. They're standing in the living room as she screams at Lexa, pushes her, cries right in front of her. Lexa feel tears run down her cheeks but she stays silent. She doesn't have an excuse for what she did. It happened and now she knows that she's a monster but she doesn't know if she regrets it.
Is it possible to love two people at the same time? And if it is, how do you decide what to do? First I broke Clarke and now I broke Costia even worse. What do I do?
"It's over" Costia says her final word at the end of her monolog. Lexa looks up at her love. She's not even a little surprised that Costia wants to end things after what she had to witness. Lexa closes her eyes as she starts sobbing but nods accepting Costia's decision.
"I'm sorry, Costia. I love you." Lexa knows she can't save their relationship but Costia has to know that she loves her and that she really is sorry but that doesn't change anything. "I'm sorry I hurt you."
"Do you even regret it?" Costia crosses her arms as she glares at Lexa. She lets herself sink into the couch as Lexa stays quiet. She knows the answer. Lexa hears the girl cry but doesn't move to comfort her.
"Leave! And don't come back ever again!" Costia finally screams at Lexa who starts sobbing even harder before turning around and heading for the door. She looks back one last time to see Costia's beautiful eyes watching her. A mixture of tears, pure hate and love in her eyes.
"I really am sorry." Lexa says before opening the door and leaving her ex-girlfriend alone in the room.
Outside Clarke, Luna and Raven immediately look at her silently asking what happened. Lexa just sits down on the lawn, head in her hands.
"Lexa?" Clarke slowly walks over to the brunette and sits down next to her.
"What happened?" She whispers to her friend.
"You can imagine what happened." She doesn't even look up to see Clarke's reaction. "She broke up with me."
"I'm sorry." Clarke puts a hand on Lexa's shoulder but the taller girl immediately stands up.
"No. Don't be sorry… I'm a monster! I did this to myself. I don't deserve comfort." Lexa says with a shockingly calm voice. It sounds so determined which scares Clarke. Not even an hour ago Clarke experienced one of the best moments of her life and now she just feels like shit for what she did to Costia but she doesn't regret it at all.
"Don't say that, Lexa." Clarke stands up as well.
"You should have seen her face. Her eyes. I hurt her bad. There was so much hate in her eyes. I don't want to see that glare ever again… what kind of monster am I to put that look on her face." Just as she finished her sentence they hear a scream from inside the house. Costia.
Luna is the first to react as she rushes inside followed by Lexa, Clarke and finally Raven. The screaming won't stop and as they reach the living room they see Costia lying on the floor and holding her face. Luna looks around the room as if she was searching for someone but nobody's there. She focuses her full attention to Costia. The three other girls kneel beside her trying to get her to calm down.
"Costia!" Raven shouts as she gets a hold of Costia's arms and pulls them away from her face. She jumps away from the screaming girl as she sees blood coming from her eyes. A lot of blood.
"Someone call an ambulance. Now!" Lexa shouts as she tries to get Costia to talk to her. Luna calmly pulls out her phone and dials the needed number. She sighs because she knows there's nothing they can do for her now. It's not in their power to help Costia.
Several hours later Lexa, Clarke, Luna, Raven and Costia's parents listen to a doctor explain Costia's condition.
"We tried everything but we couldn't save her eyesight. I'm sorry." The doctor finally says. Costia's mom buries her face in her husband's shoulder.
"So that means… "Lexa whispers to herself mainly. "She is blind."
"Yes, I'm really sorry. You can go see her if you want." The doctor leaves to family and friends to take in the information. Costia's parents go to see Costia first and after 15 minutes Lexa carefully walks into the room. She doesn't know if it's a good idea to talk to Costia or if she'll just ask her to leave.
"Costia" Lexa whispers into the room. The lights are on so she spots the girl immediately lying on the bed with a bandage over her eyes.
"Leave." Costia doesn't sound angry anymore. She sounds defeated.
"Please, I need to know what happened." Lexa takes a few steps towards the bed. "I care about you, even if you doubt it.
Costia sighs but doesn't say a word which sounds like an invitation to come closer to Lexa. She sits down on one of the chairs next to the bed. She tries to reach for Costia's hand but the girl immediately pulls it away from her touch.
"What happened?" She whispers.
"I don't know… I saw someone." Costia stars to shake as she thinks back to what happened.
"Someone?"
"They had a mask… But definitely a human. Was nobody there when you found me?"
"No…You were alone. This person hurt you?" Costia snickers at that question.
"Yeah, seems like many people do that now." Lexa puts her head down ashamed of herself.
"What did this person do?"
"I don't know. I just looked them in the eye and then everything went black and my eyes started to feel like they're on fire." Costia starts sobbing. "And now I'm blind"
"I'm so sorry." Lexa tries to hold back her tears but fail at the sight of her ex-girlfriend.
"You should leave. I'm done talking to you!" Costia's voice is loud and demanding even though it's shaky. The brunette stands up and heads for the door without another word.
"At least now I don't have to worry about seeing you ever again." Costia lets out a bitter laugh as Lexa closes the door behind her. On the other side Lexa collapses to the floor as she cries.
I will find out who did this to her and I will make them pay.
