Alicia and Chris finally reached the gas station. She was greeted by Elyza sitting outside humming a song. She was leaning against the wall beside the door to the downstairs. It was quite evident that she had moved the walker bodies. Which was good because they were starting to stink.

"Hey." Elyza said with a nod, stopping her song.

"Hey." Alicia said quietly. She felt as though she owed the blonde an apology but shook the feeling away. "Here Chris." She turned to her right and handed him the backpack. He took it from her and glared at Elyza before heading downstairs to give their find to Travis.

"He said that you threatened him?" Alicia accused.

"You don't waste anytime do you?" Elyza slightly teased. "Yes, I did. His behavior could get you killed and I can't risk that again Alicia. I had to deal with so much the last time you left and.." Elyza's voice broke. Alicia softened her gaze at the heartfelt confession.

"I'm sure I didn't try to die or anything." She tried to console Elyza. "I'm certainly not trying to die now. I told him he needed to calm down and stop being so reckless or he'd get himself and/or others killed. I hope it got through to him." She sighed. "What did they decide on?" She had been stressed about this meeting all day and was slightly insulted they didn't have her sit in on it.

"It was stupid." Elyza slid down the wall and was now sitting on the ground. "They've decided to stay here until the resources dry up and then try to follow the arrows to the other survivor camp that's nearby. I tried to tell them how foolish they were being by waiting here. That survivor camp could be overrun by the time we get there." The anger was starting to bubble. "Your mother still blames me for Nick's death. She practically cornered me to warn me about getting you killed and what she'd do to me. Her imagination is a little bland though." She rolled her eyes as she played with the hem of her blue tanktop. "What did you guys find?" Elyza turn slightly so she could refocus on Alicia.

"A few cans of food. It should only last until tomorrow morning though." She frowned. Their group was pretty large to scavenge for.

"I want to find a plot of land. I want to build a bigggggggg" She motioned with her arms across the city. "Fence to keep the walkers out. I want to farm and I want to make a safe place for us. For all of us." Her mind drifted to Chris. Even if he was being a little crazy, he still deserved to be safe too.

"One day." Alicia touched her arm lightly. She had moved to sit beside Elyza when she had gone to talk about the meeting. "I've been going back and forth. I can't decide whether or not to trust you about this commander thing." Her brow creased in thought.

"What's not to trust? I wouldn't lie to you. I still can't hear a gunshot and not think you haven't been shot in the chest. I can't go to sleep unless I know you're okay. I know we've only known each other for a short time but just think about it. You were there when I tripped when those walkers were going to bite me. You saved me. You fought your group to keep me around. Why would you do all that if you didn't think I seemed familiar? You're overthinking it Alicia. Here. I'll give you a melody to hum okay?" Elyza started a light and bouncy melody for her. Alicia hummed along and then Elyza added some chords to it, making her rhythm bounce off of the one she had designed for Alicia.

After 45 seconds Elyza put her hand on top of Alicias. Alicia continued to hum and looked into Eliza's eyes. She saw the pain and grief that had taken up residence but also saw an undying love. A love that could move mountains. A love that could move her. Alicia moved her right hand and softly touched Elyza's hair. Elyza continued her melody so that the harmony between the two of them could still be heard. Elyza grabbed Alicia's hand from the outside and touched her cheek with it. She kissed Alicia's palm and then each knuckle. Alicia never took her eyes off of Elyza, a smile tugging at her lips.

Matt had never been this sensitive with her. He always was too harsh and tried to push what he wanted too soon. Elyza was different. Alicia could feel the patience in her touch and see the devotion in her eyes. No one had ever looked at her like that before. She leaned forward and tentatively captured Elyza's lips with her own. She hoped to convey what she couldn't say in words. I do love you. Her kiss sent. Please forgive me for leaving you. Alicia leaned back to look into Elyza eyes. The look in Alicia's eyes starting to mirror the expression in Elyza's. Elyza's eyes flickered from Alicia's lips to her eyes and back again.

Elyza moved her left hand to be under Alicias neck. She tilted her head to the desired position as she stole a kiss from Alicia. Alicia kissed back and naturally set her hands against Elyza's stomach. The touch sending a spark through Elyza. Their breathing quickly became labored and they had to pull apart. They rested foreheads together and Alicia started to laugh. Her laughter quickly turned into a cry and then a sob. Elyza pulled her forward into an embrace.

"I'm sorry." She got out shakily. "I'm sorry for doubting you Elyza. I'm sorry for leaving when you were still Clarke." She buried her head into Elyza's shoulder and tried to block out the glare from the sun.

"Shhhh." Elyza cooed. "I'm not mad at you. It wasn't your fault that you left. Don't apologize to me about that, okay?" She sat Alicia back and had her look into her eyes again. "Okay?" She repeated.

"Okay." Alicia nodded as she settled back into the hug.
