Chapter 11
Lexa will tell Clarke, that's for sure now.
Three more days until Christmas day and it's making Lexa anxious as hell. She kept thinking about the way her plan to tell Clarke will turn out. Lexa is known to think the worst scenario in life.
When Lexa finally had the courage to tell Lincoln and Anya about her plan, her cousin and best friend was so happy with it, especially Anya. She's been trying to convince Lexa for too long now and and she got to receive this.
The three of them agreed to tell Octavia and Raven about it too, so they could use some extra hands to do Lexa's plan. Also, in Lexa's mind Clarke's best friends knows the blonde well than her.
"Lexa, please stop pacing." Anya said as she looked at her best friend who's still pacing in the living room and it looks like the brunette won't listen at all to her. Anya reached out for a pillow beside her and throw it hard in Lexa's direction.
Hitting the brunette's head hard.
"It's Anya, totally not me."Lincoln immediately defended himself as he sees Lexa coldly glared at their direction.
"Anya!" Lexa shouted.
"Shut up, you can't just shout at me." Anya said as she crossed her arms and look at Lexa sternly.
"When will you ever stop throwing a pillow at me?" Lexa asked and sat down on a stool.
"I will never stop because you're always annoying the shit out of me."
"What did I even do now?" Lexa asked confusedly.
Anya looked at Lincoln. "Linc, why do you think I threw the pillow at her?"
"Because she keeps pacing back and forth."Lincoln shrugged.
Lexa groans and spoke. "I'm nervous."
"Obviously." Anya said plainly.
"You should be calming me and not being an ass of a friend of mine at the moment." Lexa replied.
"Lexa, everything will be fine. You still haven't told us your plan and I think that's why Anya's being an ass towards you." Lincoln reassured his cousin.
"You're supposed to tell us first and not wait for the others to come." Anya hanged her arm on the edge of the couch and looked at Lexa.
"I can't ruin the surprise An." Lexa grinned knowing she didn't told both her best friend and cousin what really is her plan. She did tell that she's going to tell Clarke that she's the anonymous though, just not the plan.
"Surprise? Lexa, I should let you know that I have been waiting for this time for like months now and you won't even tell me. Your best friend by the way." Anya rolled her eyes.
"Let Lexa live An, don't be dramatic." Lincoln laughed as he saw Anya's face as he called her dramatic.
The look in Anya's face is so priceless that it made both Lexa and Lincoln laugh. Anya shook her head and just groaned. "I'm not dramatic, thank you very much you two."
"Anya, I think you really are dramatic." Lexa said sending a wink at her cousin.
"I mean you just couldn't wait for the others until they're here and I think they'll be here in a few minutes so just chill yourself." Lincoln snickered.
"I can't believe you two. Are you okay with Lexa not telling us Linc?" Anya raised her brow as she looks at Lincoln.
Lincoln shrugged and just nodded.
"You have no idea how much I waited for this time and that's why I'm being 'dramatic' as you two described me." Anya rolled her eyes once again and just settled on the couch she's on. Not wanting to talk anymore.
"She's not going to talk anymore Linc. I think you just burned her." Lexa laughed as she heard Anya made sound of being annoyed.
"Just a pay back for the time she burns me though." Lincoln said.
Before Lexa could reply, a knock on the door came. She looks at Anya, obviously not going to get the door.
"I'll get it." Lincoln said and Lexa nodded. The man stood up and walked towards the door.
That leaves Lexa and Anya in the living room. "You know An I won't keep it if it wasn't necessary right?" Lexa heard a hum and she smiled, knowing her best friend is fine with it. She knows she made Anya wait and her best friend surely deserve the plan herself, but what is a few minutes to wait right?
Anya shook her head as she heard Octavia's loud voice as the brunette is obviously looking for Lexa. "Lexa!"
"Can't even wait for a few minutes Blake?" Lexa called out and there are Raven, Octavia and Lincoln standing on the corner.
"She's not the only one, spill the details now." Raven pointed out and walked towards Anya to give her a kiss on the lips. Lexa cringed and Anya gave her the finger.
"Rude." Lexa coughed and rolled her eyes.
"Says the one who did not even told her best friend what her plan is." Anya sat down properly to give Raven some place to sit.
"You did not Lexa!" Octavia laughed as she realized they aren't even kidding.
Lexa just shook her head knowing Anya won't really let her live about it. "I was waiting for you guys to come and wanted to tell all of you at once." Lexa defended herself.
"But could have been told me some parts of it, but okay." Anya shrugged and chuckled a little of how dramatic she's being at the moment.
"Alright you guys, before this come to brawl. What about, let us know now Lex." Lincoln suggested, of course, this man will always be between her cousin and Anya. Just saving the day as always.
"I was about to but Any-"
"Because I have the rights to kno-"
"Well yes you have, but I wanted to tell you all at once."
"Could still have told me parts of it." Anya pointed out once again.
Lexa was about to say something, but Octavia shushed her up. "Can you both shut the fuck up. I didn't come here to witness both of you bickering of nonsense."
"Hey! That is not nonsense." Anya defended.
"Well it is if you both keep going on and on about one thing." Octavia replied as a matter of fact.
Lincoln sighed and saw Anya's about to say something. "Now, what about we chill for a moment?"
Raven laughed and shook her head by her friends antics. "You're such a killjoy Linc. It was a free show." She smirked.
Anya nudged Raven's side and just laughed also, followed by the others. Even they all argue or exchange words at one another, they are all still friends.
"Can I start?" Lexa raised her brow as she asked.
"Please fucking proceed." Anya exclaimed and the others agreed.
Of course she wants to know, Lexa thought to herself and chuckled.

Normal day at the Griffin's house, by that, it means boring day for Clarke. She knows her mom is just downstairs and she could talk to her whenever she feels like it, but that's not just the issue. Yes, Abby is a doctor but she got a free day from the hospital, one of her colleagues will cover her shift for a day. That free day is for some time to spend with her family to prepare for Christmas day.
Her only family is just Clarke. They could have been wrapping some gifts for the people who are close to them, but Abby knows Clarke isn't that much of a talker when she's in the house and she knows she can't blame her daughter by it. That is why she tries just to understand the situation and at the moment, she's alone in the living room. Clarke's just in her room, thoughts in her mind.
Clarke knows she can't avoid her mother for the rest of the day being in the house, it's either she goes down or just let herself rot in her room, her choice.
Since Raven ditched her by hanging out with her because the mechanic said she needs to go with her mom somewhere. As to her other best of friend, Octavia, she said she has some family business and that's it, hanged up the phone, typical Octavia.
Then there's Lexa, Anya, and Lincoln, they said they have a get together, just the three of them just to catch up with news about their lives. Clarke isn't the one who likes to invade friend's family business, that is why she let it go. She totally miss Lexa, she's not going to deny that fact.
Lastly, she could have been talking with the anonymous, but also got turned down, since her anonymous friend is pretty busy with Christmas plans too.
Clarke knows she couldn't blame any of them.
She's thinking about if she goes down and talk about Lexa with her mom. Those are the thoughts that kept running through her mind at the moment. If she'll ever tell her mom about Lexa, we all know it, Abby will approve and be happy no matter what.
Clarke shook her head as she smiles thinking about the day where Lexa spent the weekend in their house and Abby is totally head over heals with the brunette. People now know how Lexa's charisma gets into a person.
The photo of them hugging is currently framed and is on her nightstand. Every morning she looks at it and she could notice is how her own face seems so peaceful just hugging someone, but this someone is Lexa. Her mom might not know, but she's so thankful she captured that soft moment with the both of them.
Speaking of Lexa, is just the woman who stole her attention since the beginning from that Chemistry class. She really got to thank Mr. Johnson by partnering them up together. That day where she felt so much butterflies in her stomach just making eye contact with Lexa in that class is too overwhelming to process every bit of it. Since that, they became friends and could be more than that.
Thoes hues of green, where her blue ones could be lost in it. She can't help but close her eyes and think of Lexa's piercing green eyes in her mind. Even she closes her mind, she could could see those eyes, she knows she'll never get over how Lexa looks at her.
Clarke took a deep breathe.
Opened her eyes.
She got up from her bed, that's it, she can't handle to bottle up her emotions in her own. She knows her mom will be a hundred percent okay by it. She can't take another minute without talking to someone. Clarke need her mom right, Abby, who is downstairs, alone. She let out a breathy curse, knowing she should have been with her wrapping gifts and preparing.
She went downstairs and immediately saw her mom sitting on the floor, various gifts already wrapped around the doctor and a messy place where papers all around. She shook he head knowing her mom could be overbearing with all of the things she's doing, but she knows Abby is a generous person though and just want people to be happy.
In a few minutes, Clarke stays put where she's standing and just look at her mom and think about the times where she had been distance with Abby and she really wants to make up with those times, someday she will, starting today.
"You know, I don't like someone watching me as I do my thing, right?" Abby said not turning around to see her daughter standing on the corner and watching her. Sh totally knows when are the times she's being watched.
"Mom, you operate people and your mates are watching you as you do it." Clarke giggled and walked towards her mom. Shea sat down on the floor and gave her mom a shy smile who returned it.
Abby put down the scissor from her hand. "Clarke, operating tools are totally different from scissors."
"You do use one." Clarke pointed out.
"Yes I do, but let's just say, I want these paper to be clean and neat. I do need to focus." Abby winked and Clarke shook her head. She really likes when her mom's being like this, where they could be just silly with each other.
Suddenly, a moment of silence came. Abby knows Clarke didn't just suddenly went downstairs just to be with her, deep down, there is an issue. Abby sighed and reached out for her daughter's hand. Clarke felt the touch and slightly flinch in the first but relaxed throughout.
"Tell me." Abby looked at her daughter's eyes and telling her she's alright and she's there with her all the time just looking at her directly through her eyes.
Clarke appreciates her mom's presence so much. To be honest, she wouldn't know what she will do without Abby in her life.
She felt nervous, but she's going to do it no matter what. She needs to.
"Lexa."
Clarke said and that name left her mouth and it is sounds so good.
Abby grinned, just by hearing that name. She already knows what her daughter's going to tell her just by that. She couldn't help but burst out.
"Finally."
Clarke's facial expression went to confusion, obviousness and she giggled at the end.
Her mom knows her too well. She felt Abby squeezed her hand and let go to caress her daughter's cheek. Clarke smiled genuinely by that touch of her mother and Abby smiled.
Abby took the scissor once again and raised her brow. "What? Aren't you supposed to tell me the details or just watch me cut these papers?"
Clarke traveled her eyes to the living room for a moment and again met her mom's gaze. She knows she's in good hands. "I like her mom, like really like her." Clarke smiled genuinely and Abby just seeing how her daughter's face lights up just admitting she do like Lexa makes her happy as a mother. She just wants Clarke to be happy and she knows Lexa makes Clarke happy so much.
"Are you really sure by it Clarke? I'm not saying, I don't agree by it, because you know I do a lot." Abby chuckled by that and Clarke knows too well. "But I just want you to be sure with your feelings so you won't get hurt. Feelings can be really a scary thing sometimes, you know that." Abby cut the last paper and now really put the scissor down and set aside the various papers.
Clarke really appreciates her mom's words because all of it is just about taking care of her. "I am so sure about it mom. I never felt this kind of strong bond with someone else before, other than Lexa. I feel like she likes me too and I'll take my chances with that. It's not a scary thing to like her at all because by all the times I've been friends with Lexa, I could be the real me around her, it is amazing." She said and she means all of the words.
"Well if that is settled, why don't you invite Lexa for a dinner after New years?" Abby said.
Clarke's eyes widen by that. "Mom!"
"What?"
"I still haven't told her that I like her and how could you already want me to invite her into a, let's just say, dinner with you." Clarke couldn't believe her mom, but she knows she might be half serious and half joking about wanting a dinner with Lexa, but still.
"I'm just saying, don't be like that. It's normal for a parent to look out for their child, right?" Abby laughed by thinking about Clarke's panic face when she told her about the dinner part.
"Yes it is, if we're already dating." Clarke pointed out clearly, hoping she and Lexa will date in the future.
"Should I call Le-"
"Don't you dare mom." Clarke sternly said and laughed. Abby followed her daughter's antics, these are the moments she longs for with her daughter. Where they could talk about anything and make fun of some stuffs by it.
Clarke in the other hand, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
The anonymous and Lexa being the same person, that thought had been running around her ind and she couldn't believe she almost forgot about laugh died down slowly and her face become neutral but has that confusion in her features.
Abby noticed it and stopped her actions, tries to examine her daughter's confusion features at first and she knows there is something wrong. "Would you mind telling what's on your mind now?" She said softly.
Clarke heard her mother said and right now, she couldn't keep this by her own only. Her gaze came up and met her mom's eyes.
"I have this anonymous of a frien-"
"Unknown person who you call as a friend?" Abby cut off Clarke. She tries hard if she really heard that right from Clarke.
"Yes and before you go all crazy about it mom, let me explain." Clarke goes with the point already because she knows Abby won't just take a small explanation.
"I better be hearing good explanation about this Clarke." Abby's voice become a little stern because how could her daughter be friends with someone who she doesn't know and never met in her life. An explanation is what she do need, a great one.
Clarke calmed her nerves for a moment and began to tell her mom about her breakup with Finn and the anonymous messaging about it and kept her company when she needed someone the most, also about them messaging each other back and forth since then. She also told her mom that her friend is a good person even they still haven't met in person. Of course Abby still wants to argue with it because she just couldn't get it, until Clarke blurted out thinking Lexa and the anonymous is the same person.
She explains every detail how she think she figure it out. The phone incidents mostly, Abby tries to analyze, but could Lexa really be it. After some words exchange from them both, Abby still warns Clarke about the anonymous but also is kind of intrigued by it.
The both of them ended their conversation and clean the living room. They tried to talk about some parts from their conversation, trying to understand one another.
Clarke just know her mom will get her point of view someday.
