"Are you ready for this girls?" Raven was bouncing around, far to excited my trailer whilst Lexa, Octavia and I sat and stared in wonder, it was sickening.

Octavia groaned beside me, clearly I wasn't the only one who thought so.

"Okay let's go over the plan of action one more time!"

Octavia groaned once more, "do we have to Raven? It's not rocket science!"

"I concur." Said Lexa, visibly drained from the days activities.

"Come on guys, I'm not screwing up my contract because SOME PEOPLE can't keep it in their pants." Obviously she was talking about Lexa and I, but we're weren't that bad!

"Hey! No one's caught us! We're fine!" Lexa must have taken offense to that as well.

"Yes," interrupted Raven, "but that was before we were getting followed by EW for a week with camera's!"

Octavia groaned again, "seriously, why have I been dragged into this?"

"Because Kane is a perfectionist, and he needs his two money-makers to be the same, you know this." Raven stood up, collecting all four contracts from us, giving one glance at every last page, ensuring they were all signed. "Okay, so we're all best friends on camera, easy enough! And off camera, well, I have no idea when we're going to be off camera so I guess we will soon see!"

I cast my eyes to Lexa, she was already watching me. I reached across and held her hand, "it will be okay" I reassured.

She squeezed my hand in reply before turning back to Raven, "Okay then, let's go find Kane."

Following Raven, one by one we made our way to Kane's office. No one was particularly happy with me which was totally justifiable, I just hoped this week would be over as quick as possible.

"Girls!" Kane exclaimed, "glad you could make it! Are those the contracts?" He pointed to the papers in Raven's hand and took them without waiting for an answer.

"Perfect! Right, here are your keys, there's a set each" he handed us a set before shoving a yellow post it note in Lexa's direction, "here's the address and phone number. Off you go, get set up, I'll call you tomorrow at 9, camera's are arriving at 10. Don't be late."

Lexa folded the note up and stuffed it in your pocket alongside her keys, "I'll text you all the address, I'm going home to pack. See you guys tonight or tomorrow I guess."

She walked out of the office first, I chased after her, "Lexa! Wait!"

Maddened, she turned around, "yes, Clarke?"

"Are we okay?" I asked hesitantly.

"We're fine." She bluntly replied.

"Somehow I don't believe that." It probably wasn't the best idea to push this right away, but I couldn't help it, I hated the distance between us.

"We're fine, Clarke." She turned around and tried to walk away, my hand on her arm held her back.

"We're not. Can we talk, tonight, before everything starts tomorrow? Please." I bargained, we needed to get rid of some of the tension before everyone noticed that we were far from fine.

"I'll text you." She pulled her arm away and continued her path.

"Please?" I called out to her, it went unanswered just as Octavia and Raven left Kane's office.

"Trouble in paradise?" Octavia asked me, well aware of what my answer would be.

"Zip it, O. We're fine."


"134 Garden Lane" I read out.

"What?" Raven asked, she slowed the car down as the lights in front of us turned red.

"Lexa just text me the address of our house." She hadn't text anything else, I couldn't help but deflate at that.

"Okay cool, so, your place or mine first?" I locked my phone and tucked it in my coat pocket, looking around at shops we were currently passing, I gauged where we were.

"Might as well stop at your place first, we're nearly there." Raven took the handbrake off, placing the car is first gear, she drove to her abode.

Pulling into the private car lot not 5 minutes later, she parked her car leaving me in the passenger seat, "I'll be 10 minutes, 15 tops."

I nodded my head only to realise she had already set way to her place. I pulled my phone back out my pocket and unlocked it, no new notifications.

Should I text her back? Should I leave it alone? I bit my lip on contemplation, fuck it.

-Hey, are you going to the house tonight or tomorrow morning?-

Sent 10.23

Okay, that was friendly enough, wasn't it? I mean, I wasn't going to go about starting the discussion via texting, but I couldn't just leave it be.

I locked my phone, hoping that it would somehow stop me from clock watching.

My foot tapped on the car floor. My head bounced along with a non-existent beat. My fingers drummed in a rhythm I hadn't yet established.

Fuck it.

I unlocked my phone and opened up messenger.

Seen 20.24.

It was 10.26, it was only two minutes, she might not have decided yet!

I locked my phone again and decided to look around the car lot, an attempt to busy myself.

The silver Audi A3 next to us looked very fancy, I could imagine myself driving one of those.

I looked round the other side, a black Mercedes G Wagon took residence next to Raven's car, now that's more like it.

Realising that there wasn't much else that caught my eye, I settled back in the car seat, trying to figure out how long I could hold my phone without unlocking it to see if Lexa has replied.

Come on Clarke, fucking pull yourself together.

It wasn't long before the silence started to annoy me, I fiddled with Raven's radio before I realised that she took the keys with her.

I slumped further back in the seat, "come on.." I mumbled to an absent Raven.

I was jolted by a vibration coming from my phone, Lexa?

Sitting forward, I eagerly unlocked it, Lexa!

-I haven't decided yet.-

Seen 10.42.

I replied immediately.

-Can you let me know when you do? I need to see you-

Sent 10.42.

Seen 10.42.

The three dots of death started up, taunting me. They stopped briefly taking my breath with it, before starting up again.

-Will do.-

Seen 10.43.

"Who you texting, Princess?" Ravens unexpected voice shocked me.

"Lexa.." I replied.

"Ah, everything okay there?" She started the car, pulling out of the lot before making our way over to my place. Shit, I hadn't even thought about what clothes to take! "I know what you're thinking, don't worry about the clothes, that's why O is there, just pack the essentials."

"Okay, yeh I can do that." I put my phone back in my pocket, turning on the radio to drown out the silence.

"So, Lexa?" Raven asked.

"What about her?" I turned the radio quieter, readying myself for an onslaught of questions.

"Wow, you're not making this easy," I could feel the force of her eye roll, "have you spoken?"

"Oh! No, not really, I'm trying but she's pissed, I think. I'm waiting to figure out whether she's going to be joining us tonight or tomorrow. I guess we will soon see."

"Okay, that makes sense." Raven slowed the car down, turning on the indicator as she prepared to pull into my road. "And, are we okay? You're not mad at me?"

"What? No! We're great! Seriously, I'm thankful for you, who knows how long Lexa and I were going to go back and forth until you stepped in.." She laughed at my reply.

"True. Anyway, here we are, up you go, I'll wait for you, don't be long!" She parked her car next to mine, turning the engine off.

"Okay!" I climbed out in a hurry, not wanted to keep Raven waiting any longer than necessary.

It didn't take my long to reach my place and pack. Following Ravens advice, I simply packed my panties, laptop, tablet, all my chargers, a few books and some things to sleep in.

I almost left my bedroom before I changed my mind, there was no harm in comfort packing. I opened my draws and grabbed several t-shirts and jeans before placing them in the same bag. I was startled by a loud knocking coming from my front door, "just a minute!"

I walked into my living room, was there anything else? I couldn't think of anything. I looked around, nothing was standing out, fuck it. If I needed anything I'll just come back for it.

I slung my bag over my shoulder as the loud knocking on the door continued, "Impatient much? I'm almost done Raven!" I shouted back, the knocking continued.

With one last sweep over the place, I walked to my door, "I'm coming! Jesus.."

I opened it, fully prepared to rip Raven a new one, "Lexa?"

What was she doing here?

"Hey Clarke, I was wondering if we could travel together?"
