Clarke looked around the house while following her mother. The inside looked completely different, nothing like she last saw it. A lot changed these 5 years.

Her mother sat down on the couch gesturing Clarke to follow her.

"You know I am happy you are back Clarke, but why now?"

"I think everyone is asking that mom. I needed to come back, I need to apologize."

"Clarke look at me. I am not happy with how things went and honestly it has taken a lot of work on my part to deal with the events that drove you away. I just wish you would have stayed."

"How mom? You were so angry. We couldn't stay in the same room without fighting."

"I know, I didn't understand what was going on. After you woke up in the hospital everything changed. Even before that, but I didn't notice. You used to tell me everything Clarke." Her mother was shaking her head, trying to stay calm.

"How was I supposed to tell you mom? I couldn't tell you." Clarke said with tears running down her face.

Abby put her hand on her daughters knee and squeezed it.

"It's okay Clarke. You are my daughter and that will not change. We don't even have to talk about it. Will you stay this time?"

"Yes mom. I want to stay, I need to fix everything I have broken. I am so sorry for disappointing you." Clarke burrowed her face into her mother and cried.

After all these years she was back with her mother, the person she trusted the most. The first one she pushed away. Abby smiled holding her child, this is where she belonged.

Clarke walked up the stairs to her room. She saw many pictures were missing on her way up. She saw one with her father, but the ones with her friends where gone. She wondered if her mother took them down, or if someone else did this.

She slowly opened her room, surprised it hasn't changed. Everything was still in its right place, once again pictures were missing. She didn't know why, when she left she didn't take the pictures down. After her short talk with her mother she was exhausted and fell into her bed, closing her eyes.

"Clarke are you awake?" Abby walked into the room looking at her daughter.

"Hmm not really."

"Sorry that I am waking you up. I just wanted to know if you would like to join me for dinner."

"Sure mom, Hey mom what happened with the pictures?"

"Hmm Lexa came a few months after you left and took them down. She didn't say anything, just took them down and left."

Clarke nodded trying to hide the tears in her eyes. Lexa, she took the pictures down.

"She must hate me."

"I don't know Clarke. Go talk to her maybe?"

"No way, Raven slammed the door in my face, Octavia refused to see me and Bellamy told me to stay away."

"They will come around Clarke. You and I have to work on some stuff too, but I love you, and they love you." She hugged her daughter and left.

Abby didn't know how to deal with the return of her child. Part of her was happy to have her only child back, the other was wary why she really came back. She said many hateful things to her daughter before she left, even felt relieved. She couldn't look at Clarke any more, she didn't recognize her any more.

The girl now before her, was broken and lost. She wanted her kind daughter back, so she would try to mend everything and hopefully one day hear the whole story.

Octavia was sitting at her favourite bar with a cocktail in her hand. It has been a week now since Clarke was back and she didn't try to contact her again. On one side she was happy, on the other she was angry. She never thought one person could rip apart her friend group. She thought they would get through anything.

She kept looking at her phone waiting to see if she will get stood up or not. She was surprised when Raven texted her last night asking to talk. She was ready to drive to Ravens, but knew the girl didn't want to be alone. A bar seemed like the best place, even though it was also the dumbest.

"Hey O, long time no see."

"Raven! You scared me, don't sneak up on people."

"Sorry, my bad. Is this seat taken?" Raven pointed to the empty chair next to her. Octavia shook her head.

"Thanks for meeting me O and for meeting me here."

"Of course Raven. Anything for you."

Raven ordered two shots and two beers downing them within seconds. She needed some liquid courage to talk, otherwise she will turn around and leave.

"You remember when it was the four of us, sitting here, drinking and talking?"

"Of course. We didn't know anything back then."

"No we didn't. I really thought they would get together."

"Me too, but they didn't."

"She came to see me, you know."

"Who Clarke, again?"

"No, Lexa. After you called last week. She barged into my place."

"What did she want?" Octavia asked wondering why Lexa hasn't reached out to her.

"I don't even remember. She seemed happy. She was worried about me."

"We all are Raven."

"I know O. The last 5 years have been horrible. Finn dying, Clarke leaving..."

"Clarke being a bitch and backstabber."

"Yeah that too. Finding Lexa. It was all to much O."

"I know Raven, I am so sorry I wasn't there for you. My own anger and hurt stopped me from going to you."

"Well after I threw the glass at you I don't blame you. I just wish Clarke wouldn't have come back."

"Same, but she is the reason why you are here now." Octavia said and smiled at Raven who just turned her head away.

"Maybe, or seeing Lexa happy. I haven't seen her like this in a long time."

"I don't think anyone has. That Costia girl must really be doing something right."

"Yeah I guess. Hey O, do you think I can be happy again?"

"Of course dude. You just have to let someone in again."

"I know, maybe I am finally ready." Raven said drinking another beer.

Octavia put her hand on her friends shoulder and smiled at her. One person destroyed their group, but maybe that person can also mend it.

Lexa and Costia were sitting on their couch enjoying their Sunday afternoon. On Sundays neither of them had to work and they were able to spend time together. Costia was a manager in a restaurant and an amazing cook, which just earns her extra points in Lexas book.

Lexa on the other hand has been struggling with finding a stable enough job. The last few years she worked at several different bars and restaurants, but none of them were what she really wanted to do. She didn't even know what her dream job was. Her current job was as a photographer. Something easier then working with drunks or high maintenance guests. Through her pictures she was able to deal with aspects in her life. Costia was the first person to get through to her. With a lot of patience and love Lexa was able to move on from the broken heart she had.

"Lex what do you want to do today?" Costia asked her girlfriend.

"Nothing honestly, I just want to relax with my girl on this couch and do nothing." Costia laughed and kissed.

"Well that can be arranged."

Lexa tried to reach for her phone, while Costia kissed down her front.

"Really babe? Just ignore it. We are doing something way better now."

"Just one sec Costia, maybe it's important." Costia groaned and rolled of her girlfriend putting on her shirt again.

Lexa smiled and picked up her phone, without even looking who was calling she answered.

"This better be good."

"Uh Lexa, its Octavia."

"Octavia?"

"Yea, so uhm sorry to call you, but I need your help. It's Raven."

Lexa jumped up and grabbed her discarded clothes.

"What happened, what do you need?"

"I just need you to come to hers. She is going through withdrawl."

"Withdrawl? What do you mean?" Costia looked at her girlfriend confused, who looked just as confused.

"She decided to change her life. So she hasn't had a drink in a day, and she is crashing. Please Lexa I don't know what to do." Octavia begged her sounding scared.

"On my way. 5 minutes Octavia. Give her water some bread."

Lexa hung up the phone and looked at Costia.

"She is trying to stop drinking Cos. Without any help I think."

"Go babe. Let me know if you need anything. They need you."

She rushed out of the house, keys in her hand driving towards her friend, who needed her help.

Raven was lying in her bed, shivering hiding under covers. Octavia was sitting next to her not knowing what to do. An hour ago she got a call from Raven crying and sobbing into the phone and she dropped everything to come too her. She smiled because Lexa was doing the same thing for Raven. Just like Raven did 5 years ago for Lexa.

She heard the knock on the door and rushed to open it, just to find Lexa standing there frazzled with her shirt the wrong way on. She wanted to comment but there were more important issues right now.

"How is she?"

"I don't even know. She has been throwing up, crying, shivering. I don't know what to do."

"Okay let's look at her. Did she eat at all? Drink?"

"No and some water."

They walked into the bedroom, seeing Raven on her bed staring at her ceiling. Lexa put her hand on Ravens head and smiled at her.

"I am really proud of you Raven." The girl just looked at her with a weak smile, before jumping up and crying out in pain.

It felt like her insides were being ripped out of her body. Her head was aching like a truck went over it repeatedly. She didn't know if this was still a good idea, to stop drinking, this pain was too much to take. She tried to get up but was stopped by someone, actually by two people. She knew Octavia was here, but didn't realize someone else was there.

"Hey there Raven, relax. What do you need?" Lexa asked her.

"A drink. I can't do this."

"Yes you can and no drink for you."

Raven wanted to protest but she felt light headed and crashed back on her bed. She feel into blackness, she didn't feel anything any more. All she heard was shuffling and yelling around her, but she couldn't make out the words. She let herself fall into the darkness.

"Raven wake up, come on." Octavia was shaking her, trying to wake her up.

"Okay that's it. We are bringing her to a hospital. This is not working, the withdraw is too strong. She needs help, medical help." Lexa stated and picked Raven up.

"No Lexa, she can do this, we can do this." Octavia pleaded with her.

"We can't. Get my keys we are taking my car." Lexa nearly yelled at Octavia.

Lexa put Raven in her car, motioning to Octavia to sit in the back with her. She got to the front and started driving.

The second they got to the closest hospital Lexa opened the door yelling to the emergency team they need help. Before Octavia could even get out of the car, two men grabbed Raven and carried her inside. Both of the woman walked quickly behind them answering their questions.

"What happened to her?" One of the men asked.

"She decided to quit drinking. She is in withdrawl." Octavia said, the men nodded and put Raven on a bed. A doctor rushed to their side, injecting Raven with some liquid.

"Keep her hydrated, give her pain meds. Now guys." The doctor yelled at her staff.

Lexa and Octavia both stood frozen staring at the doctor in front of them.

"Ms. Griffin?" Octavia said quietly.

"Octavia? Lexa?" Abby Griffin said in shock only now realizing who the person on the bed was.

"Oh Raven what happened to you?" she asked stroking the girls hair.
