AN: I'm back at school… luckily, there's weekend in a few days. We have no homework this week so my spare time will go to writing. Yeah! I just love writing, it's so fun. But I also must read a little, to learn new words. In that way, my writing skills will get better. And I'm sorry if it's some typos here, I try my best to read through everything and rewrite the typos, but I can't see them all. Enjoy!
Lexa swallowed. "Your mom is in the hospital"
Clarke frowned. "what?!" she removed her duvet and jumped off the bed. "What happened?" she picked her clothes up and got dressed.
"I don't know. The others have been trying to reach you, but you were sleeping. Raven only told me she was in the hospital, but didn't tell me how she ended up there" Lexa told her everything she knew. "Come, I'll drive"
Clarke called Kane and apologized to him. She told him that they were on their way to the hospital. Clarke didn't say one word the whole way to the hospital. Neither did Lexa, because she knew Clarke had enough to think about.
Clarke hurried out of the car right after Lexa had pulled up in front of the hospital. The blonde hurried inside and Lexa ran after her. Clarke and Lexa took the elevator to the second floor.
Raven and Finn were already here, Kane got up as soon as he saw Clarke running towards him. He embraced the girl. Clarke was all teared up. "What happened?" she asked with a broken voice.
"Honey, she has been in a car accident. She was driving home late at night, and some drunk man drove in the wrong direction… and his car hit your mother's" Kane tried to say with his calm voice, but failed as his voice cracked. Clarke's hand trembled as she placed it in front of her mouth to cover her emotional gape.
Kane pulled her into another hug. "I've been waiting here all night, and no one had come out to talk to me" Clarke sniffed and listened to him continue. "I have to go home and get some clothes for Abby and me, can you sit here and wait?" Kane asked, Clarke nodded.
The second after Kane let go of Clarke, Raven embraced her. She hugged her even tighter as Clarke burst out in tears. "Everything is going to be okay, Clarke" Raven tried to comfort her.
Lexa was standing behind Clarke, it really broke her heart to see her like this. And the worst part was that she didn't get to wrap her arms around her. Lexa wanted to cry herself, but managed to breath deep so her tears would disappear. Because watching someone you love cry, is heartbreaking.
When Clarke managed to calm down, Raven stepped aside so Finn could hug her. Raven went to hug Lexa, because it seemed like she needed it. Finn made his way to Clarke. He embraced her with all his love and kissed her on the cheek. "I'm here for you. Never forget that" he said.
Lexa's eyes were darted at Finn. He kissed Clarke on the cheek, and he hugged her. There was really not a good time to play jealous girlfriend. She pulled herself together and pretended like it didn't affect her.
As their hug were lasting for minutes, Lexa sat down on the couch next to Raven. The Latino noticed the way Lexa tried not to look at Clarke and Finn, and whenever she did, she just looked away.
After Clarke had calmed herself down. She sat on the couch next to Lexa. Still not saying a word. Lexa tried to exhale deep in silence. Yes, the whole 'Finn and Clarke' thing made Lexa extremely jealous. But Clarke needed her. The brunette placed a hand on the blonde's hand and squeezed it. Letting her know she was there for her.
"Thanks for driving me" Clarke looked at Lexa. But Lexa kept staring at the plant that laid against the wall. The hall was about four meters wide. It was indeed a big hall. Lexa looked at Clarke and smiled. "of course"
"And thank you for being here for me" Clarke's eyes started to water. She was so emotional right now. Lexa's heart broke. Seeing Clarke this sad made her heart break in a thousand pieces. And knowing you can't promise everything is going to be okay, terrified Lexa even more.
"I will always be here for you, Clarke" Lexa said and pulled the blonde into a long hug. "I promise" she whispered. The blonde looked at Raven that had pressed her lips to a thin line and nodded. She had her thumb up.
Lexa slowly pulled away. "You haven't eaten anything today. Can I get you some food? And maybe anything to drink?" Lexa offered.
"Yeah, maybe something to drink" Clarke shrugged. "Water or something" she added. Lexa nodded. "okay, I'll bring something to eat too. You need energy" she said as she got up. She kissed Clarke's cheek.
"Do you want anything?" Lexa asked Finn and Raven. Finn may have had or have romantic feelings for her girlfriend, but she had to be nice. He couldn't starve. And he was just trying to comfort Clarke. Finn didn't want anything and Raven just wanted water because she ate breakfast at home.
Raven moved closer to Clarke and let out a careful smile. "She cares about you" she said and looked at Lexa disappear down the hall. Clarke just nodded and smiled. "And I have noticed how happy she makes you" Raven continued. "The way you smile when you talk about her or to her. It just warms my stone cold heart" Raven smiled and looked at Clarke. "There's not a lot of people like her" Raven kept smiling. She had Clarke's attention and the blonde seemed to agree.
"She's a keeper" Clarke added. Raven nodded and agreed. The girls totally forgot about Finn. He sat right next to Raven, but that didn't stop them from talking about Lexa.
"oh, and was it anything you wanted to tell me?" Raven turned around and faced Finn. "You didn't get to tell me, because I kept interrupting you"
Finn stressed. "oh, uhm… nothing… It was nothing important" he pressed his lips to a thin line. And avoid looking in her eyes.
Raven frowned a little. "you sure?" she asked to make sure he still wanted to tell her. Finn nodded and looked at the big green plant across the hall.
Kane was stressed. He stormed in the house, not taking his shoes off, not even closing the door. He ran to the bedroom, found a bag and opened Abby's closet. The smell of Abby flew out of them closet. It was like a warm gentle wind of light perfume.
He bursted out in tears. He barely touched Abby's clothes and started shaking. He started sobbing and fell down on his knees. He tightened his fist and hit the floor. As he hot up, everything went in slow motion. It started to blink black, without really closing his eyes. He started to feel tired, and whenever it wasn't black. It was too light to see. Like a filter, that made everything unclear.
His heart beat faster as his body crashed to the floor. He had fainted. The reason why was because he stressed too much. Abby was everything to him. He loved her with all his heart and wanted to do everything for her. It killed him that he didn't got to know what was going on with her and if she was okay or not.
His body resisted waking up. He had to be calm, or not he could have had a heart attack. Because stress is not good for his heart. Hours had passed and he was still laying there. Helpless. He had gotten thousands of phone calls from Clarke, but his phone was in the car.
The clock was almost twelve, and Emma was soon to be knocking on the door. She frowned as she saw the car door and the front door open. She tried to knock but no one answered. "Hello?" she tried, but not a single sound. She stepped inside. "Abby?"
She walked careful, so the floor wouldn't creak. She didn't want to scare anyone, or get hit because they thought she was an intruder. As she reached the end of the hall, she noticed Abby's and Kane's bedroom door was open. And on the floor laid Kane unconscious. He must have hit his head pretty hard when he fainted.
Emma hurried her way to Kane and tried to wake him up. "Kane!" she tried. He grunted and massaged his head. Emma tried to help him up so he could sit against the closet. "oh my god, what happened? Did you get hit?" Emma asked as she saw there was blood on the side of his forehead.
"No" he simply answered. "I fainted" he added and got up. He started packing Abby's clothes and his clothes, completely ignoring the confused girl behind him. "what happened?" the girl asked curious.
"Abby is in the hospital" He said, and tried not to burst out in tears. "you can come with"
Emma nodded and followed him. Both got in the car and he drove them to the hospital. "What happened to her?" Emma tried to ask carefully, not wanting to trigger him.
"Car accident" he simply answered. He didn't want to tell her in detail, because it would hurt too much. Whenever he was emotional, he tried to be cold.
Kane and Emma stepped in the second floor. Emma stopped to tie her shoes, but Kane kept walking. He walked towards Clarke as she was walking towards him. She hugged him. "I thought something happened to you" she pulled away. "oh my god what happened?" she asked.
Kane huffed. "It's nothing" he said and look behind him as he saw Emma were just done tying her shoes. Clarke didn't see Emma, so she just dragged Kane back to the others. Indra, Bellamy, Octavia and Lincoln were there too.
"Lexa?" Emma said with a question mark on her face as she saw the brunette was sitting here on the chair next to other familiar faces. "Clarke?" she asked with a damn curios face. Why where Clarke, Lexa and the others here with Kane? Were they friends maybe?
Everyone saw how much Clarke panicked. She got up and tried to say something, but the words were completely stuck in her throat. "Emma" she said and tried not to show her how panicked she was. Before she got to say anything else, a doctor came.
"Who is Abigail Griffin's family members?" the doctor asked and took a quick look at everyone who sat on the couch and chairs. Kane got up quickly. "I'm her husband"
Without thinking over it, Clarke told him who she was. "I'm her daughter" she said and threw a quick glance at Emma's face to see her reaction, then looked at the doctor again.
The doctor took his hands out of his pocked. "Abigail were in a horrible car crash. It left her bruises and deep cuts, but nothing serious. I will say that she was lucky" the doctor began. But he didn't exactly smile, and it didn't seem like he was finished.
"Was that all?" Clarke nervously asked, and hoped that what all. The doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry, but she is in a coma" the doctor said. "we don't know how long, it could be days, weeks, months… even years" he said.
Kane frowned. "years?! I thought you said there weren't anything serious" he said with a loud voice, clearly angry. But regret it as soon as the words were out. "I'm sorry… I'm just in shock" he apologized.
The doctor accepted the apology. "In ten minutes, you will be allowed to visit her. But only four in the room at the time" he said. Clarke and Kane nodded. Both hugged each other, and Clarke didn't want to let go, because she knew what was waiting for her. Emma. She knew.
Clarke slowly turned around and nervously played with her fingers. Emma had a little frown on her face. "I should have known it…" she said. Clarke shook her head, almost tearing up. They were standing in front of all their friends.
Clarke pulled Emma's hand and dragged her far away from the other's, but she was still able to see her friends. "Emma, I never meant to lie to you" Clarke started. "You have to understand, I didn't want you to hate me" Clarke's voice broke. Emma had tears in her eyes too.
"Why would I hate you? You didn't know about me" Emma said. Clarke felt relieved, she was almost on her way to smile. Then Emma swallowed and shook her head. "But when you knew about me… you chose to lie…" the little frown appeared on her forehead again.
Clarke shook her head. "I panicked. Emma, I swear. I never wanted to lie to you" Clarke bursted out in tears. She was already emotional, and this just broke her. Emma shook her head and tried not to feel sorry for Clarke.
"You lied about being my friend…" Emma started. She whispered because she tried to avoid a voice that was soon about to break. "I left you all alone… with my daughter…" Emma shook her head again. "I trusted you" her voice broke and tears successfully escaped from her eyes. They streamed down her cheek, falling on the floor… one after one.
Clarke tried her best to talk with an unbroken voice but failed. "You can… trust me…" she said. "I am your sister!" she whispered, crying for Emma to understand.
Emma took a step closer to Clarke. Blue eyes met blue eyes. Emma swallowed. "You're not my sister" she said with a stable voice and walked away. Clarke lost her breath. She fell on her knees and started to sob.
Lexa came running towards Clarke. She knelt down and embraced Clarke. She tried to rock her gently but Clarke didn't seem to calm. Lexa kept whispering. "It's okay. It's okay" she said those words repeatedly till Clarke finally managed to calm a little bit down. When she took a deep breath, her lungs made her automatically breathe faster when she inhaled.
This is what Clarke was afraid of. She already had a good relationship with Emma. The only disadvantage was that the relationship was based on a lie. And now, truth ruined everything. Christmas is in a few days, and knowing that someone hates you when it's Christmas, was one of the worst feelings ever.
Lexa helped Clarke back to the other's where they hugged to comfort her. "Everything will be okay, Blondie. Your family is very stubborn, but she will come around eventually" Raven tried to make Clarke feel better. It was true. Both Clarke and Abby were very stubborn.
Octavia hugged Clarke. "Just think about how great tomorrow will be. You, me and that stupid mechanic over there-"
"Hey!" Raven offendedly raised her brow.
Clarke chuckled. Octavia continued. "Eat lots of snacks and watch movies together. It will be so much fun" Octavia smiled. The blonde nodded and gave her a tiny adorable smile. "And in two days, there is Christmas. Everyone we love will be there" Octavia said. "Lexa too" she added.
Clarke's smile grew bigger. At least hearing Lexa's name made her smile. Clarke smiled to Octavia and to Raven. They had made her feel better. Then her eyes slipped to Lexa's. The brunette started smiling and her eyes started sparkling. It was like they tried to hypnotize Clarke, by making her continue looking at her.
Clarke didn't know how to thank Lexa. She wanted to thank her for being there for her. And for taking care of her. How could she say thanks? As the blonde thought it was stupid to just stand there and stare at her, she hugged Lexa. At first, the brunette lost her breath, but managed to breath after she let out a chuckle.
Clarke kissed Lexa. In front of everyone. She didn't care. They were grownups, and so was she. She wasn't embarrassed. She wanted everyone to know that she was taken, and so was Lexa.
Without looking, she knew everyone around them smiled. They were happy for Clarke. A lot of people were smiling, but the only person Clarke had eyes for was Lexa. She had the most beautiful smile. Every move Lexa made fascinated Clarke. Every word that came out of her mouth was always smart, clever, funny or cute. Everything the brunette did, satisfied or thrilled the blonde.
The doctor said they could come in to see Abby. Those who went in was Kane, Clarke, Lexa and Raven. Raven had a special relationship to Abby. Abby was like a mother to her. Lexa was there to support Clarke and hold her hand.
Clarke was the last one to step in. She swallowed hard as she saw her mother lay still in the bed with her eyes closed. She had bruised and stiches almost everywhere. It must have come from glass or metal that had cut her. Clarke started tearing up.
"oh my god" she whispered as she got closer. She barely touched Abby's cheek because she didn't want to hurt her. Abby looked so peaceful. If they only knew how hard she was fighting to wake up again.
Kane almost cried, but knew it would just made Clarke cry even more. He manned up and grabbed Abby's cold hand. He placed a soft kiss on it, and put her hand carefully down, still holding on to it.
Clarke did the same. She caressed her hand with her thump and ran her hands carefully through Abby's hair. "I hope you wake up soon…" Clarke started. "I need you" she said with a broken voice. "I love you" the blonde whispered and placed a kiss on Abby's forehead.
Lexa held around Clarke's waist as the girl pulled back and let Raven talk to Abby. Raven didn't like to show feelings either, just like Cane. Both liked to act cold whenever they were sad. But this time, Raven wasn't afraid of letting her tears fall. And she let them.
Raven grabbed Abby's hand and looked at her closed eyes. She sniffed and wiped her tears away. "I knew you were too stubborn to die" Raven joked, but shook her head with a sad face after she said it. "Just like Clarke said. We need you. I need you" she began and wiped her tears away again. "you're like family to me Abby… and I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you. I wouldn't be the same again..." Raven cried.
This moment was so emotional everyone in the room cried. Even Lexa. If she cried, it would be ten times harder for Clarke. Seeing her mother and her friend like this. It killed her. But it also warmed her heart to see Raven open up like this to her mother.
"Just keep fighting and never give up" Raven squeezed Abby's hand. "I love you" she whispered and placed a kiss on Abby's hand.
Now it was Kane's turn. He wanted privacy so the girls said goodbye to Abby and let him be alone in there. Kane was planning on sleeping on the couch next to Abby's bed. He wanted to be there when she wakes up. He didn't want to go home. And he had permission from the doctor to stay there.
Clarke, Lexa and Raven waited outside with the others. After Kane was done, he had red eyes and went to the bathroom to avoid more emotional scenes. As everyone had seen Abby, they took their goodbye's and hugged each other.
As everyone had left, Clarke and Lexa were just about to leave. But stopped as she saw a blonde girl down the hall. She was standing still, just looking at Clarke. Clarke recognized the blonde as soon as she showed herself.
