A/N: Oh God! I struggled with this chapter. I wanted you guys to feel the angst and hopefully I succeeded. I'm sorry for the wait, I just wanted to do it right and not disappoint. I love all the feedbacks and review. I truly thank you guys. I'm glad people are enjoying this as much as I enjoy writing it.
Oh and I specifically love the guest who wrote in their review, "Seriously F U." I love that. I don't know if that meant you like the story or not but either way it made me laugh. Though I don't know how your going to respond after this chapter. Things get rough.
Chapter 8
Clarke felt her body stiffen feeling an overwhelming sense of horror when she saw the angry expression and the look of betrayal on Lexa's face once she was finished looking at the screen in her hands. Her happiness of seeing Lexa earlier drains away and her skins pales.
The brunette wordlessly retrieve the device back from the shock blonde and walk a couple steps back to keep a good amount of distance between them. Lexa couldn't believe what she just saw.
The blonde stood completely still like a deer caught in head lights not knowing what to do or say. She had forgotten all about Finn. And this is the worst possible way for the brunette to find out. She was meaning to tell Lexa about their encounter immediately after they had gotten back from their trip but it honestly slipped from her mind because she was too distracted by her wonderful time with the brunette that Finn was literally the last thing she wanted to think about.
"Lexa, I can explain." Clarke started desperately hoping the brunette would at least be reasonable and listen to her before jumping to any conclusions. She could only guess by the look on her face that the thoughts that were already running in the brunette's head weren't good.
Lexa was so dumbfounded that she couldn't even look at the girl that she thought she was in love with. Who she had fallen so quickly and so deeply for. She felt stupid and naive that she was easily played by this woman.
History was repeating itself because she didn't know any better. This felt like Costia all over again but somehow this felt a thousand times worst because she felt like Clarke was really the one for her.
It was almost if she was finally realizing why Mount Weathers always targets her to sabotage her family business. She was seen as the weak one and it angered her that they could possibly be right.
Falling for a girl that she has only known for two months was definitely weak.
Being fooled again by another romantic relationship was definitely weak.
That's why her own mother saw her as weak and treated her like a child.
So no.
She couldn't look at the blonde fearing that she might just break because Clarke was clearly an amazing actress and has really done a superb job of making her fall for her that this betrayal hurt her like a million blades cutting her skin deeply. So deep that she felt like she couldn't breathe. She didn't want to look in the eyes that use to capture her soul only to see now that they were deceiving her the entire time.
"Lexa please let me explain. It's not what it looks like." Clarke said waiting for the brunette, who was still refusing to look at her, to say something.
"Sure. Explain." Lexa said in a monotone voice trying to contain her anger as her hand tighten around the iPad.
She willed herself into being strong and forced all her emotions into anger not wanting to seem fragile anymore. She has already opened herself too much to the blonde and she feels Clarke knows her well enough to manipulate her with just her words.
She didn't want to be fooled again.
"I was shopping at Aubade and as I was getting into the dressing room, Finn shockingly barged into my dressing room. I swear to you, Lexa I didn't even know he was here in Paris and I have absolutely no desire to even see him ever. I haven't seen or talked to him since that day at the hospital." Clarke tried to explain desperately.
Lexa wanted to believe her. She wanted to believe that Clarke was honest and innocent and was that selfless, generous, most beautiful person that she fell for and could never be that cold hearted to hurt her like this. Even if she was still with Finn, she couldn't be this ruthless.
But as she looked at the iPad in her hand, all she could see was the footage replaying of Finn leaving the blonde's dressing room. She couldn't stop her mind from the horrible images of them together, doing god knows what. Just the thought of him walking in on her while she was in the middle changing where parts of her body were probably expose or let alone the thought of him touching the blonde. The thought alone made her clench her teeth as her blood began to boil and suddenly she was full of rage.
She was picturing in her head that they were probably laughing at her together behind her back of how easy it was to deceive her. They were probably having sex while discussing how to break her heart into million pieces in the most evilest sadistic way possible.
She couldn't wipe away the images in her head of them laying naked together having sex and suddenly her jaw tighten and her breathing became heavier.
"Oh my god, Lexa!"
The blonde's cried of surprise and worry snapped her out of her thoughts and suddenly she felt a slight pain in her hand. She looked down surprised to see her hand cover in blood and the iPad was bent in half. She didn't even realized what she was doing. She immediately drop the device to the floor in shock causing a huge crack sound echoing in the room. She felt small chards of glass sharply pinching the flesh of her palm.
Clarke rushed over to inspect her injured hand only for the brunette to flinched back as if her touch would burn her.
"Don't touch me." Lexa growled stepping back from her.
"Don't be ridiculous, Lexa. We need to clean that up to stop the bleeding and before it gets infected." Clarke told her while attempting to help once again her face full of worry.
"I don't need anything from you." Lexa spat out pulling back her hand so it was out of reach for the blonde as blood was dripping heavily on her hardwood floors.
"Lexa, you believe me don't you?" Clarke gaped slightly offended.
The thought of Lexa thinking that she was doing whatever it is she was thinking with Finn other than what she told her churns a cold feeling traveling down her spine.
"I don't know what to believe." Lexa coldly stares right at her for the first time, masking her emotions. She couldn't hold the stare for long though. The blonde's blue eyes were filled with pain and anguish. And she needed to be strong and overcome the unbearing need to comfort her then ridicule herself for feeling this way for a woman who has been deceiving her the entire time.
"I would never do anything to hurt you. You have to know that." Clarke said trying to convince the brunette failing to hide the pain she felt that Lexa didn't believe her.
"Why didn't you tell me when you got back from your shopping trip that day?" Lexa argued.
"You were so excited about taking me to meet your grandmother that I didn't want to ruin it. I knew that it would only upset you and I was afraid of how you were going to react." Clarke replied desperately trying to convince the brunette that she was being truthful.
"I told you to never be afraid to tell me something. I only wanted you to be honest with me no matter how I would react. You waited all weekend and Gustus has had all that time to gather damaging evidence against you. You can understand now how hard it is to believe anything you are telling me." Lexa responds in retaliation.
"Trust me." Clarke pleaded with her. "Look into my eyes and you can tell that I'm telling the truth."
"I can't do that." Lexa shakes her head.
She didn't want to fall into her trap. She needed to be level headed and strong. Looking into the blonde's eyes would be like being entranced by a spell.
"Lexa?" The blonde's voice was low and shaky. She was shocked that she couldn't get through to the brunette. She felt her eyes start to burn as tears began to build up.
"Gustus had a bad feeling about you. He had warn me about you. And I didn't listen." Lexa began to pace around the room. She felt as if her head was about to explode.
"Gustus is wrong. He doesn't understand what he saw." Clarke said exasperatingly trying to get through the stubborn brunette's thick skull.
"Gustus wouldn't bring this up to me if it was nothing. And you had the opportunity to tell me. If what you say is true, you shouldn't have anything to fear. You should have told me the moment you saw me, if you didn't have anything to hide. " Lexa retorted angrily.
"I didn't want you to do something stupid and ruin the amazing weekend you had plan for us." Clarke spat out starting to get angry.
"Do something stupid? Do you not know me at all?" Lexa asked her voice laced with hurt, slightly cracking.
Clarke shakes her head in defeat as tears were now running freely on her face. "There's nothing I can say to defend myself. To convince you..."
"Because it's true. You have been playing me from the start wanting to humiliate me." Lexa said almost snapping at the blonde trying to get her emotions under control.
"You really think that low of me?" Clarke tearfully quivered as she felt Lexa building up a protective wall around her making it impossible for her to get through to her.
Lexa was resisting violently the urge to wrap her arms around the blonde as she hears the shakiness in the blonde's voice. But she convinced herself it was just another act from the blonde.
"Tell me you aren't fucking him, Clarke. Tell you didn't come here to seduce me. What was your plan? Were you planning to seduce my mother as well if I didn't fall for you? What are you getting from Finn where he can easily convince you to spread you legs like a cheap whor..."
The hard palm of the blonde's hand against her left cheek interrupted her harsh words and cause her head to snap violently to the right. She didn't even realized what was going out of her mouth. She was just angry and hurt. She felt used and betrayed and most of all heart broken.
"Fuck you, Lexa." Clarke spat out angrily tears running dow her face. "How dare you? How can you say that? It is you who doesn't know me. Because you would know that after our time together that I would never hurt you."
"It is because of our time together that I was easily manipulated." Lexa voice was cold and even, trying to ignore the pain in her chest of the sight of the blonde crying.
"So everything that you told me this weekend, what was that? You said you loved me and you said you trusted me. Well trust me now. You know..."
"And I told you not to make a fool of me and not to break my heart. But you did anyways." Lexa interrupted with venom laced in her tone.
Clarke shakes her head no longer in control of her sobs. She can not believing what is happening. She felt like her world was falling apart.
"I feel like we are going around in circles. You trying to make excuses in your head of why not to trust me because you fear it makes you weak. I see right through you Lexa."
Lexa kept her gaze on the floor, her heart clenches tightly as the blonde knows her well. Too well. Well enough to break her. And she just can't let that happen. She can't let Finn win. She allowed herself to become vulnerable making herself an easy target for her enemies.
"You either trust me or you don't Lexa. If you don't then I'll make sure you never have to see me again." Clarke told her though she didn't want it to come to this but Lexa wasn't letting her in. The brunette had shut her out. She was so hurt that Lexa was so quick to believe Gustus that nothing she could say would make any difference.
Lexa felt like the air immediately left her body filling her with dread at the thought of never seeing the blonde again. But if Clarke was giving her an ultimatum then maybe this was really a trick.
It was clever.
Putting her on the spot and forcing her to make a decision.
"I..."
"No. Look at me." Clarke stopped her.
Another trick Lexa thought. She hasn't truly looked into those piercing blue eyes since the blonde walked in. She knew that it would be a losing battle if she did. Not trusting herself to have the strength, Lexa bit down hard on her lip and shakes her head not able to look into Clarke's eyes.
"Leave. Just leave Clarke." Lexa whispered sadly before retreating to her bedroom leaving the blonde alone in tears. It was better if she just ends this before it gets worst.
Clarke stares shocked at the retreating form of the brunette, an abundance of warring emotions were growing rapidly inside her. She stood there numb. She was flabbergasted that Lexa just completely shut down on her. She knew the brunette had a hard time trusting people but it still hurt that she didn't even try to listen to her. It felt like just Lexa gave up on her and was done with her for good.
Clarke tried to fight back the uncontrollable sobs but failed when she clenched her heart as she felt it shatter. She walked out of Lexa's suite on shaky legs in a complete dazed with eyes full of tears and a broken heart.
This was not how she picture how her day was coming to be.
Anya was furious at Lexa when Clarke came into her office the next day looking like an horrendous crying mess announcing that she was leaving that morning and Sky Airlines would send someone else to take her place immediately. The blonde try to convince Anya, with a lame excuse, that more of the employees should come over and work together with TonDc Internationals. Anya reluctantly agree, not wanting the blonde to leave, but knew not to fight her fearing that blonde would break down in front of her. She would give the blonde time to calm down before convincing her to come back.
She needed to talk to Lexa and found out what happened.
It was obvious the reason for the blonde's sudden departure was because of something her daughter did and she intend to slap her on the head and demand her to fix it. She was not going to let Lexa ruin this. She had seen such positive growth in Lexa with the small amount of time that Clarke was around and she was afraid now that Clarke is gone, Lexa might slip back into her old ways. And that is something that she simply won't allow to happen. She almost lost her daughter the last time Lexa decided to be reckless and stupid.
She sent Gustus to retrieve her daughter immediately after Clarke left the building. To her surprise, Lexa opened the door to her office ten minutes later while she was pacing around behind her desk waiting for her. Anya watched silently as Lexa calmly took a seat in front of her desk, blatantly ignoring the infuriating look on her mother's face.
Her daughter almost looked worst than Clarke and if she looked closely she could almost see the tears stains on her face. But Lexa put on a good mask that she has perfected for years not giving out any signs of emotions or distress.
"You wanted to see me." Lexa stared at her as she greeted her with a voice devoid of any emotions.
"Clarke came by earlier and I was surprise to hear that she
will be leaving us in such an abrupt manner. Which leaves me to question if you had any part of her unexpected exit." Anya said scowling fiercely at the younger brunette.
Anya watched Lexa's face for any type of emotion flickering across her face but was shock when she was just met with a stony expression unfazed by her stern ferocious demeanor.
Like she just didn't care.
This wasn't like Lexa.
Her daughter would at least show some type of anger just from her accusation alone. She could feel something wasn't right here. Like she was missing out on some important details. She might have to question Gustus later on anything he might know.
She had also noticed the bandages on the younger girl's hand but didn't comment on it.
"Why would I have anything to do with that?" Lexa inquired sardonically.
"Well darling, you have to admit, you were always against this merger. I always suspect you would come up with a plan to somehow discourage me away from continuing on with Sky Airlines." Anya pointed out.
"I don't know what to tell you." Lexa told her in an unconcerned manner.
"Bullshit! What happen between you and Clarke, Lexa? I thought you guys were at least getting along." Anya hissed getting tired on Lexa's nonchalant attitude pretty quickly.
"What makes you think you didn't cause Clarke to leave, Maybe you scared her off with your blatantly gross flirting." Lexa retorted bitterly.
"Is that what this is all about?" Anya questioned furrowing her brow trying to connect the pieces together, ignoring the jab her daughter was trying to make at her.
Lexa didn't respond still wearing an impassive expression on her face but Anya spotted a slight tightening of her jaw. She decides to take a different route with Lexa and just be honest with her.
Anything to get Clarke back.
"Okay Lexa," Anya threw her hands up in the air in defeat. "I will admit it. I purposely flirted with Clarke that night and again when you were around only to get a reaction from you. I wanted you to know if you were at all attracted to her. I didn't know that your reaction was going to result in Clarke leaving. Now go chase after her and apologized."
"What?" Lexa asked slightly baffled by her mother's revelation.
"Clarke is a perfect match for you." Anya elaborated further. "And I was just trying to give you push in the right direction."
"You were scheming my love life once again." Lexa accused bitterly as her conversation with Costia replays in her mind.
Anya scoffed. "Scheming is a bit dramatic don't you think? I don't see any wrong doing. I'm just a mother who wants best for her daughter. No matter how difficult she may be at times."
"Was that the main reason for the merger? Did you and Abby orchestrated this arrangement?" Lexa questioned her becoming angry at the thought of being played by her mother like she was some game piece.
"Of course not..."
"What would it solved if Clarke and I were together? Why would you think it would be okay for you to have a hand in my love life?" Lexa stood up to stand angrily face to face with her mother.
"You happiness, of course." Anya retorted easily as if there were to be any other reason.
"Don't act like you care about me. I'm not entirely obedient to your will so you want to some how control me in your conniving ways and without treating me like an actually human being." Lexa shouted at her.
"Lexa, you are being ridiculous." Anya barked out.
"All you ever wanted was to control me. I know what you did to Costia..."
"Oh god not this girl again." Anya groaned loudly. "Get over her already Lexa."
"I cared about her..."
"No you didn't..." Anya scoffed.
"...and you chased her away. You were horrible to her." Lexa finished with a snarl.
"I did you a favor. That girl was using you. Costia was only with you because your wealth and your name. She wanted control of the company and I could not let that happen."
"You didn't even give her a chance." Lexa roared at her.
"Did you give Clarke a chance?" Anya retorted.
Lexa felt her heart stop. She took a moment to control her breathing before responding.
"I hate to ruin your perfect image of Clarke but she has lead me to suspect that she is working with Finn.."
"Oh stop it with that nonsense." Anya threw her hands up in frustration. "You are being paranoid. And it's all because of that girl Costia. She has gotten into your head."
"Gustus showed me evidence..."
Anya interrupted her again. "I don't care what you think you might have saw. I know everything about the Griffin's. Do you not think that I may have looked into it? Especially when I decided to merge my company with theirs. I promise you my resources are better there yours."
"But I saw Finn..." Lexa's argument became weak as it finally sinks in that she may have made a big mistake.
"That boy is not a threat." Anya interrupted her again. As much as you may hate him and as much as I hate him. Finn is a worthless imbecile minuet creature. Stop allowing him to ruin the good things in your life. And stop with the silly rivalry you have with him, the last encounter you had with him almost got you killed. Finn will get what he deserves. The bigger issue is Costia and Mount Weathers."
"I've talked to Cosita and she told me that she isn't working with them."
"And you believe her?" Anya raised a question brow. She was irritated how Lexa always came to that awful girl's defense after everything she has done.
Not knowing how to answer her Lexa turned away and walked towards the door with a stubborn lift of her chin. She never liked talking about Costia with her mother. And if she was honest with herself, it was because she feared that her mother was right.
As she reached the door, she turned around wanting to leave her mother's office with these parting words. "Just stay the hell out of my life, mother."
At Lexa's exit, Anya sighed heavily massaging her temples. She had hope that she got through to her daughter if only a little bit.
Next she had to figure out how to get Clarke back and prayed that Lexa didn't ruin her chances with the blonde.
The next few days were cold, dark, and gloomy for the young heiress as she let everything digest. It was as if Clarke took all the light in her life with her when she left. She felt like she was living in a nightmare and didn't know how to get out of it. There was a conflict of emotions within her and she didn't know how to deal with it.
There was mostly anger but also sadness.
Anger towards her mother who somehow always has to manipulate her life, molding it into something that she wants for her even if she doesn't agree and then tries to convince her that she had her best interest at heart when her mother was just a conniving heartless witch.
Also angry with herself. She couldn't figure out who to believe. Maybe she was paranoid and that infuriates her more that Finn might have cause her to be this way.
And worst she was angry at Clarke. For making her feel miserable and heartbroken during her absence. She hates herself for missing the beautiful blonde but also because there's a part of her that knows that it was her fault for her departure and for the blonde's pain that she's not willing to admit and take full responsibility for.
She angrily wipes the treacherous tear that dare to fall from her eyes.
She sighs and picks up her phone staring longingly at the Clarke's name.
She wouldn't know what to say.
She doesn't know what she believes anymore.
But she longs just to hear the blonde's voice again. Even if it was Clarke angrily telling her off.
Lexa growled at how fucked up the situation she somehow got herself in. If Clarke was telling the truth then she royally screwed up the best thing that could happen in her life. She was going back in forth in her head of what was right and was afraid that she had let her imagination run out of control.
She rubbed her face in frustration conflicted and confused on what to do.
Maybe a night out of this hotel will help her relax and clear her mind.
A distraction.
She scrolled down on her phone pass Clarke's name down to Quint's and waited patiently for him to answer, which is whenever she is calling he knows not to make her wait long.
"Quint. We are going out tonight. Bring Ryder." Lexa simply said before hanging up the phone.
Gustus is glad he nipped the whole thing with Clarke getting too close to Lexa in the butt before Lexa became into deep with the blonde making it easy for Clarke to hurt her worse then she's already has.
He has seen it before with Costia and didn't want it to happen again. And with Clarke and Finn maybe working together, who knew the damage that they would cause.
Though he may have exaggerated some details about the encounter between Clarke and Finn to convince Lexa not to trust the blonde but he truly believed that it was for the best of Lexa interest in the long run.
It pained Gustus to see Lexa in a somber and despondent mood since he showed her the video and pictures of Clarke and Finn. But he is confident that the young brunette will get over the blonde eventually. They only knew each other a little over two months and they way Clarke was able to get Lexa to smile she knew the blonde could easily tear her heart out as well.
With Clarke out of the way, he began to focus on getting his revenge on Finn. Now that Finn was in the same city, there has been plenty of opportunity to strike but every time he brought it up to Lexa, the brunette was such in a depress like state that she didn't have the energy to act on anything and ordered him not to do anything yet.
Tired of seeing Lexa so broken down, Gustus finds himself walking into a one of the most exclusive club in Paris where he was sure to find Finn and introduce him to the hard pavement face first or scare him enough to guarantee that he will never mess with Lexa again.
Gustus knows he is going against Lexa's orders but Finn has done enough damage to Lexa for him to stop standing back and allowing it to happen. He needed to do his job and protect the brunette and hopefully get himself back in Lexa's good graces hopefully turning her mood and luck around.
The girl deserves better than this.
Quint and Ryder were not bad company after she tried to make them a little more at ease and comfortable around her. She was looking to relax and just enjoy herself tonight and forget her problems.
They easily helped her get through fans and paparazzi as they were entering the club and also created a shield around her as they walked straight to the VIP section.
She invited them to sit down and to have a couple of drinks with her and stop standing as if they were her bodyguard.
Through out the night, few girls had come up to her spitting out the same spew with their fake concern how of sorry they were to hear about the crash and how happy they were to finally see her out again, flirting with her shamelessly. She can't believe she use to enjoy their attention but now all she could think about was how no one holds a candle to Clarke. None of them are intelligent, strong, and beautiful as Clarke. They didn't make her heart pound against her chest or make the world stop around her.
They were actually quite annoying.
Lexa was completely ignoring the current woman sitting next to her, who was talking a mile a minute trying to desperately impress her. She was about to stop the woman from her incessant chatter as she felt a headache forming quickly from just the sound of her voice until she spots something or more specifically someone at the bar.
She furrowed her brow in confusion on why Gustus was here and quickly chastised herself for ever sending him out to follow Clarke immediately understanding how foolish that was given Gustus obvious size and the lack of stealth that comes with.
She sips her drink, probably her fourth one that night, and continues to study her bodyguard through her slightly blurry eyes. He might have just come in because he should be aware by now of her presence knowing everyone here was probably talking about it or just the sight of paparazzis outside was a dead give away.
Gustus finally walks away from the bar after he finishes his drink and by the determination in his walk, Lexa could sense he was up to something fishy.
As she stood up from her seat, ignoring the upset look from the woman next to her and the questioning look from Quint and Ryder, she sees exactly where Gustus is headed and a scowl immediately paints on her face. She furiously and quickly makes her way to intercept him, with Ryder and Quint quickly by her side, before he does anything stupid.
Once she successfully reached him, she fiercely grabs his arm stopping him and forcing him to face her.
"What the hell do you think you are doing, Gustus?" Lexa snarled at him.
Gustus almost punched the idiot that dares to think touching him would be a good idea but stop cold and fearfully when he sees a pissed off Lexa in front of him with Quint and Ryder standing protectively behind her.
"Lexa?" He stood there shocked.
"I asked you a question." She looked up at him intimidatingly despite their size differences.
Gustus puffed out his chest and stood tall. "I'm tired of Finn hurting you and I decided that enough is enough."
"You deliberately disobeyed my orders." Lexa vehemently stated staring him down.
"I'm sorry, Lexa. This was the perfect opportunity..."
"Opportunity for what? What did you plan on doing? And much less in a very public area?" She asked him hastily.
Gustus faltered a little. "What I do best."
Before Lexa could continue, a voice behind Gustus' large body and over the very loud music interrupted them.
"Well, look who it is after four months of hiding like a scared little girl." Finn stood smugly with a few of his own friends behind him.
Lexa paused for a moment trying to control her murderous instinct on seeing the man who caused her so much grief. Who was the reason for all the pain she has suffered. Physically and mentally.
"We will discuss this later. Now move aside Gustus." Lexa hissed at him as she prepares herself to face Finn for the first time in months.
"You know the wheelchair accessory was a good look for you Lexa. Did you ever get those LED lights for the wheels I sent you?" Finn asked her mockingly.
She closed the distance slowly trying to be as imposing as possible to the long hair cocky man child locking eyes with him.
"You got what you wanted okay? You got your revenge on me for sleeping with Raven. You and your girl..." She spat out angrily. "fooled me."
Finn frown in confusion. He wasn't dating anyone currently. "My girl? I have no idea what you are talking about. Did you loose a few screws in your head as well after the accident?"
"You god damn know it wasn't an accident!" Lexa shouted at him getting angry. Her shouting cause a few people around them to stop dancing and subtle watching their confrontation.
"You really shouldn't do drugs, Lexa. They can be deadly." Finn knows how short-temper Lexa is and knew the right buttons to push to get her to explode.
"I don't know what you think you plan to succeed with your bullshit lawsuit on me. You know that we all get tested before the race and mine will come back clean like always. Everyone saw what you did, you piece of shit." Lexa told in a harsh tone. "Just face it Finn. You will never be better than me. At anything ever. Yeah, I will never be able race again but you will still never beat me. You had to resort to ruthlessly crashing my car to get me out of the running because you were tired of being in the shadow of this little girl. You are pathetic. No wonder Raven left you."
Finn's pupil's dilated as his face became flushed with anger. He balled up his fist as Lexa's words were getting to him especially when she mentions his ex-girlfriend.
"Let's go." Lexa said to her men who were behind her as she walks to the right of Finn done with their conversation.
"We are not finish, don't walk away from me you bitch." Finn shouted as he strongly grabbed her shoulder when she walked past him but as soon as Lexa felt his hands on him she instantly reacted with punching square in his jaw busting his lip wide open.
After the first punch, everything went to chaos. The surrounding crowd moved away from the fight, though some pulled out their phone's to record everything. Gustus immediately jumped in when he spied one of Finn's friend rushing towards Lexa. Soon Quint and Ryder were also caught in the cross fire, each pummeling on the other guys that were with Finn, trying to protect Lexa as best as they could.
Lexa watched as Finn wipe the blood off his lip and glared at her dangerously. Her blood was boiling now, she could feel it rush to her face. She was ready for Finn to make the next move. He growled at her before striking back at her throwing a messy punch that she easily avoid. Even with a couple of drinks in her, she was still faster and more focus then he was, thanks to her martial arts training.
Finn felt a black surge through him as his body tensed with fury. He wildly began to attack her with multiple swings of his arm, frustratingly missing ever time. Lexa side stepped another one of his strikes then took the her leg behind his to throw him hard onto the ground.
Lexa sees out of the corner of her eyes the bouncers and security from the club coming near them and she could guess that someone from the club already called the cops, so Lexa decides to gather her guys and head out hopefully without going to jail.
Pissed off that Lexa keeps getting the best of him, Finn decides to play dirty and took the opportunity with her back to her and stood up quickly from his spot on the ground and grabbed a hand full her long brown hair yanking it as hard as he could. He pushed on the ground and went for the weakest part of her body, which was her injured leg, putting all his strength into his kick.
Gustus could hear Lexa's cried and strongly head butted the guy he was fighting knocking him down and making his way towards Lexa. But just before he could crash into Finn to stop his attacks on Lexa, he feels the weight of about five guys on him pushing him face first to the ground. He recognized them as security from the club and they weren't any of Finn's friend so he didn't struggle against them. He looks at Lexa and sighs in relief when he sees another security guard with a strong hold on Finn backing him away from the brunette.
Lexa feels the striking pain in her leg as someone was helping her to her feet. She fought back another cry of anguish as she slightly put some weight on it.
Suddenly she hears sirens loudly from outside and groans as she realized that they were all going to jail.
Her mother would definitely be piss when she hears about this.
Thanks For Reading!
A/N: Some might be disappointed about this chapter at the lack of Clarke and of any reconciliation but it's obviously that Lexa has trust issues and I wanted to focus on that.
