AN: Back with chapter 15 :) I hope you will like this chapter, I know I did :) remember Clexa is endgame. Enjoy!
As Clarke thought she finally got to get some time for herself, a knock made itself heard. Who could it be? She thought everyone had plans today. "Hey" Clarke opened the door wider so Finn could come in. "Hey, oh I'm not going to stay. I was just going to tell you something…" Clarke didn't say anything, he had her full attention. Finn exhaled deep. "Clarke, I'm still in love with you… after all these years… I can't think imagine my life without you…" Finn made his sad looking face, his eyebrows made him look like a sad little puppy. Clarke closed her eyes and sighed. "Finn…- "Clarke started but got interrupted by him. "I know you're dating someone, and I can't be her… I'm not her. I just want you to know that I will never give up on you… I'll be here when you need me… or want me…" He said a little low at the three last words.
Clarke frowned a little. "It's not like I want to use you like a backup, Finn. I don't think I even want to get with you again… I just don't know why you're not over me…"
"Clarke. You're the most amazing girl in the world. No one would have given up on you if they had a chance to get with you in the first place. I know I wouldn't. You don't know how happy you made me-"
"You don't know how sad you made me" Clarke reminded him when he screwed up his relationship with Clarke and Raven. "I know… and I'm sorry… I made a mistake Clarke, people make mistakes… that's what makes us human" Clarke was speechless. She didn't know if she was going to make him leave or just let him stare at her.
"I can't move on" He broke the silence. Clarke looked at him. "Finn, why?" Clarke asked, not understanding. Finn looked at Clarke's eyes. "Clarke, you don't know how an amazing human being you are. You're the funniest, cutest, caring, the most beautiful human being ever existed on earth!" It went silence for a moment. "I just wanted you to know…" Finn said before he turned his back and walked away. Clarke was staring at the wall. After a moment, she closed the door and threw herself on the large couch. She pulled her phone from her pocked and texted Octavia. C, is for Clarke and O, is for Octavia.
C: Hey
O: How did it go? How did she take it?
C: I never got to tell her…
O: oh… you didn't visit her?
C: Yes… but I never told her I was her sister
O: oh, who do she thinks you are?
C: She thinks I'm a really nice person who welcome everyone that moves into the neighborhood ;)
O: Well, you are xD
C: And I introduced myself as Clarke…
O: yeah? You are Clarke.
C: Clarke Woods…
O: Omg! Hahah
C: Don't laugh! I panicked!
O: Of all the last names you could have picked, you chose Woods xD
C: I panicked, it was the first name that popped up on my mind!
O: I'm totally telling Raven
C: Thought so xD
O: But how was she like?
C: She was nice, and she looked like me, just a little older
O: An older version of Clarke? :o
C: she has a husband and a daughter
O: Oh really? How cute!
C: Her husband is named Cage Wallace and her daughter is named Isabella Wallace Griffin
O: Griffin? Her last name is Griffin?
C: Yeah, Emma's last names is Wallace Griffin, that's why I couldn't tell her my last name
O: Why not?
C: When my mom told her who she was, Emma didn't want anything to do with her
O: But that's your mom! You didn't know about Emma, why should she be mad at you?
C: True.
O: Go tell her!
C: I'm meeting her at Café Niy later
O: Can I come? Please I want to see her
C: Lexa is coming too…
O: Then I'll definitely come!
C: sure, it's not like own the Café
O: Yes! What time?
C: 6 pm
O: Then I'll leave in 15 minutes
C: Yeah
O: Okay, I'll see you
C: yeah
Clarke swiped to Emma's number and started typing her.
Clarke: Hey, I didn't tell you, but two of my friends are coming to the café too. Hope you don't mind. - Clarke
Emma: Oh, I don't mind. I would love to get to know people in your town
Clarke: one of my friends who are coming actually lives in your neighborhood
Emma: oh, how nice! Are we meeting there at 6 pm?
Clarke: yes :)
Emma: Sweet
Clarke smiled at her phone. A little nauseous from all the texting but managed to text Lexa too.
Blondie: Hey, I don't know if you're awake, but I just wanted to tell you that Octavia and Emma are joining us at the Café later. Hope you don't mind. See you later
She stared at the phone. The message had been sent but hadn't been open yet. Lexa was probably still sleeping. Sick of her phone, she turned it off and turned on the television instead, or the TV as most people called it. Fifteen quick minutes had passed. Clarke had been watching a documentary of puppies who had been homeless and treated bad by people. She always got so mad when people treated animals bad, what did they ever do to them? Other than looking thousands of times damn cuter. Her phone buzzed, Lexa's nickname "brunette" popped up on the screen.
Brunette: Just woke up. No, I don't mind :) I'm going to drive to the café now, see you in a bit
Clarke smiled at her phone. Wishing Lexa lived closer and not twenty minutes away. She kept watching the documentary film. She looked away as she saw her favorite dog, a beagle, had been kicked and hit but a stone brick by a stupid old man. "come on! The dog just wanted to sleep…" She didn't understand why people would treat animals like that. Their life is worth something too.
Everyone month Clarke would donate money to 'dog paradise', It's a building a few minutes away from here where the dogs are getting their own big enormous cages with a bowl of food and water, a bed and toys. They also had a garden where they could let the dogs out to get some air and play with each other. They are getting baths and the whole package. The staff only consist of people who loves dogs. You could adopt dogs there too.
Time had passed and it was time for her to leave for the Café. It only took a five minutes ride, then she sat down on the couch in the corner that was surprisingly not taken yet, even though there was a lot of people here. "You came!" Ally said as she walked towards Clarke. "Yes, some of my friends are coming too" Clarke let her know. "Great, I'll get samples for them, how many?" Ally asked. "Three" Ally nodded with a smile and walked back to the counter.
Lexa entered the door, looking for Clarke. She walked over to her and sat beside her. "Hey, it's hot in here" Lexa took off her coat. "Yes" Clarke did the same. Just after she had taken off her coat Octavia was already making herself comfortable on the smaller couch across the table. "Hey, guys" she smiled. "Hey" Clarke and Lexa said at the same time.
The girls chatted a little about how their day had been. "Emma" Clarke called for Emma as she entered the door with Isabella. Emma smiled and walked over to Clarke, sitting beside Octavia and put Isabella between them. "Hi, Emma Wallace" She shook hands with Octavia. "Octavia Blake" She smiled. Emma looked across the table, noticing Lexa stare a little a her. She reached her hand across the table to shake hands. "Emma" She smiled. "Lexa Woods"
Emma frowned with a smile, looking back at Clarke. The last name seemed familiar. "Wait, are you two sisters?" Emma asked Clarke and Lexa. "What?" Lexa chuckled. Clarke widened her eyes at Octavia, asking for help. "Yeah, since you have the same last name" Emma took off her coat, looking at the confused Lexa who was looking at Clarke. "Or do you just happen to have the same last name?" Emma asked as none of them talked.
"They're married" it flew out of Octavia. Lexa frowned. She didn't understand anything but Octavia gave her the 'go on with it' look and Lexa just rusty nodded. Clarke pressed her lips to a thin line while closing her eyes in fear. "I thought you said you weren't in serious and committed relationship?" Emma remembered. Clarke avoided looking at Emma. It went silent for a while.
"Oh no… did you think I was homophobic or something? I totally support gay marriage! I think we are all worth the same, either we're into guys or girls, it really doesn't matter. Love is love" Emma nodded with guilt. "oh, no that's not what I thought at all. It's fine, really" Clarke smiled. Happy her sister supported their 'fake' marriage.
"I'm a little thirsty, do you guys want anything?" Emma asked the girls. "no thanks" Emma carried Isabella up and waited in the long line.
"Clarke! She looks just like you!" Octavia beamed. "I know" She turned to face Lexa. "Explain?" Lexa let out a short laugh, not mad just confused. "She's my sister… my mother just told me today that I had a sister… then I went to visit her, but didn't have the courage to tell her who I was. I was too afraid she wouldn't talk to me. When we greeted, she introduced herself as Emma Wallace Griffin. If I told her my real last name…"
"I understand" Lexa laid a hand on Clarke's shoulder. "I can play your wife for now, but you have to tell her eventually"
"Yes, I know. And thanks" Clarke blushed, turned to face Octavia to avoid Lexa's eyes. Octavia noticed Clarke was blushing. She had to a hard time not to laugh of the blonde at Lexa who was smiling to herself. They were so fucking in love, why couldn't they see that? This was like watching teenagers giggling every time they looked at each other.
"What are you guys smiling so much for?" Emma asked as she sat down with an ice coffee and Isabella on her lap. "Nothing much"
"so, how did you guys meet?" Emma asked the 'married' couple. "uhm…" Clarke stressed. Clarke wasn't good at lying, it would be hard for her to come up with what she was going to say. She wasn't good at improvising. Lexa took Clarke's hand. "We met at a party"
Emma smiled, wanting a few more details but didn't asked. Clarke told Lexa and Octavia that Emma was an author and that she was writing a roman about two people who are in love. Emma told them that she loved romance, so she would probably have smiled and pout every time she saw people holding hands or kissing.
"Hey" Niylah came by with a tray of little plastic cups with different smoothies. She put them in front of them. "Hey" Clarke smiled. The mood became a little awkward, here they were, the ex, the one she was currently dating, her sister, and her best friend. Emma cleared her throat. "Hi, I'm Emma"
"Niylah" She gave Emma a smile. Looking a little longer at her, then back at Clarke. What the hell? She thought, they looked so much alike. But Niylah threw on another smile and walked away instead of asking if they were related. It wasn't any of her business anyway.
An hour or more had passed. They had tasted and liked almost every smoothie. Emma wasn't a big fan of the green one, that shocked the three girls. They loved the green smoothie. Emma was more of a fan of fruits, it had a more sweeter taste.
"Mommy… I'm bod…" Isabella pulled Emma's sweater and tried get her mother's attention. It was the cutest thing ever. "Are you bored?" Emma talked with a lighter voice. Isabella just nodded. "Maybe it's time for us to head home" she looked at Clarke and her friends. "Thanks for inviting me, and it was nice to meet you guys" Emma took on her coat and lifted Isabella up. "It was nice meeting you too" Lexa smiled. "Yeah, we should meet another time" Octavia suggested, they lived in the same neighborhood after all. "Yeah"
"I think I'm going to head home, too" Octavia grabbed her coat. "Wait, can I talk to you?" Clarke and Octavia stood by the door. "Do you think Lexa can join us for Christmas…? Is that okay?" Clarke asked. "Yeah, sure" Octavia hugged her friend. Clarke exhaled in relief. "Thank you" and made her way back to Lexa. Now it was only Lexa and Clarke left. "I don't think I want to be here anymore, do you maybe want to go back to my pent house?" Lexa nodded.
The blonde and the brunette drove each their fabulous car to Clarke's building. Of course, did they run into Raven and Finn in the lobby.
"Hey" Raven nodded a simple nod at the brunette and the blonde. Finn only pressed his lips into a thin line as they were smiling at him. "we are going to grab a smoothie, Café Niy put up a new smoothie menu" Raven grinned. "I know, we've been there. Hey Rae, can you stop by later? I need to tell you something" Clarke asked Raven, but she already knew what the answer is. Raven would always stop by, they saw each other every day. "Yeah, sure"
"Everything okay?" Lexa asked Clarke as they got in the elevator and Clarke seemed to feel down. She put on a smile. "Yes" They didn't say another word the whole way up. As they got inside Clarke's penthouse, they had made themselves comfortable on the couch.
"Your sister seems nice"
Clarke looked up at Lexa, smiling at her. "Yeah… and isn't Isabella the cutest?" Lexa chuckled. "Yeah, she is" Lexa gently smiled at Clarke. "when are you going to tell her?" Clarke sighed, she ran her hands over her face. "I don't know… I just… She seems like a good person… but what if she doesn't want to have anything to do with me?"
"Who wouldn't want anything to do with you?" Lexa gently smiled, bending her head a little down to get eye contact with Clarke. They were both leaning on their side with their arm on the edge of the couch, facing each other. Clarke carefully removed the brown hair from Lexa's face that covered her appealing eyes. she smiled at the summer green-eyed woman in front of her. Her warm and soft hands on Lexa's cheek, slowly and lightly moving her thumb up and down without moving her hand. Lexa smiled at her, the beautiful blonde. Drowning deep into Clarke's ocean blue eyes. Kiss me, kiss me! Lexa thought.
Clarke slowly leaned against Lexa in to a soft kiss. Moved her body closer to Lexa and gently kissed her again. As Clarke was on her way to remove her lips from Lexa's, the brunette took a gentle grip on the blonde's back head, pulling her into another kiss, and kissed her again. As they seemed to end it, Clarke beamed and hugged Lexa's neck. Lexa leaned backwards, laying on her back and Clarke on top of her. Clarke could feel how warm she was.
"I have wanted to do that for a long time" Lexa whispered, running her hands through Clarke's hair. Clarke kissed Lexa's cheek, getting up and looked at her. "Me too" She kissed her cheek once again. "I'm thirsty, want anything?" Lexa shook her head.
Clarke left for the kitchen. It was getting hot so she took of her cardigan, leaving it on a chair and walked to the fridge, only wearing her crop top. "Hmm… what to drink, what to drink" She looked around the double fridge. She grabbed a bottle of water and walked back to the living room.
"Hey, you were welcome to join Octavia's for Christmas" Clarke sat beside Lexa. "Oh, and my parents are coming…" Clarke opened the bottle and drank from it. Lexa did know Clarke was going to celebrate Christmas with her parents, but didn't release she was going to spend it with them too. Lexa smiled at Clarke, letting her know she was okay with it.
Clarke turned on the TV, watching another documentary of dogs that have been treated bad. "I feel so bad for those dogs" Clarke pouted as she took another sip of the water, doing the bottle flip on the table and succeeded. Clarke gaped of happiness. "Woah, impressive" But the squeaking sound a dog made from the TV caught her attention. Clarke pouted once again, Lexa was just smiling at her. Clarke really cared about dogs. Lexa grabbed her hand and leaned on the blonde's shoulder. Clarke beamed and leaned on Lexa's head.
The TV had Clarke's attention but Clarke's hand had Lexa's attention. She drew circles on the blonde's hand, then drew a line from her hand palm to her wrist. Feeling a little bump, she slowly and carefully pulled Clarke's wrist to herself. As she saw it was a scar, her eyes widened. It was a big scar on her wrist, how did she not notice until now?
Lexa looked at Clarke curiously. "What's that?" Clarke hummed, turned her head a little to Lexa's direction but her eyes was still glues to the TV. As a commercial went on, she met Lexa's eyes. They were full of questions. Lexa was still holding on to Clarke's wrist, not letting go. "What's that?" She asked once again. Clarke's eyes slipped to her wrist. She swallowed hard.
Lexa took the hint that she didn't want to talk. "Did you do that to yourself?" she frowned. Clarke looked down, pulling her wrist to herself. "Clarke" Lexa said frustrated. This was clearly an emotional subject for Clarke. It was getting hard to see because of all the layers of tears had gathered in her eyes. One little movement and the tears would drip down. "Yes" Clarke finally whispered.
Lexa exhaled. Like it was hard for her, and it was trust me. She shook her head and got up. "Where are you going?" Clarke asked, her voice breaking by every word. "Home" Lexa said without looking at Clarke. She followed the brunette and grabbed her hand, Lexa shook it off. "Why Clarke. Why would you do that? You could have died! You could have caused your family and friends a life time of pain!" Lexa raised her voice, watery eyes. Like a rainy day in the forest. Still beautiful, but sad. Clarke didn't answer. Lexa just shook her head, wiped her own tears away and shut the door behind her.
"what the hell just happened…" Clarke whispered as she cried to herself. Getting flashbacks from that they she had caused the scar and the reason why she did it. At that, it made her fall on her knees, sobbing.
AN: was that drama? The next chapter can be published in a few days, because I'm going back to school so a lot of my time will go to that and homework. I have also three midterms coming up… but I will get up earlier on the morning, just so I can write on the next chapter :) Bye for now!
Ps: please leave a review of what you think of this chapter or the story so far. You can also tell me what I should take in this story, how my writing is and all that so I can improve myself.
