CHAPTER 15

Clarke's POV

We went to breakfast the next day arm in arm. We sat at a table with Octavia and Rae.

"Woah you two have the glow." Raven said.

"Yea because they had sex last night." Octavia said blatantly.

"Shhh... My mom's right over there." Lexa said. I rubbed my hand up and down Lexa's leg.

"At least she still doesn't know yet. Abby knows about all of Clarke's sexual events" Raven said cheekily.

"No she doesn't... does she?" I said unsurely.
I started to think. Hmm... My thoughts were interrupted once again. This time it was a shout.

"ALICIA!" A white skinned black hair, average height boy shouted as he ran over. Another boy that was taller and had dark brown hair trailed behind.

"Nate!" Lexa said giving him a hug.

"Donny here wasn't sure if you wanted to see him; I mean after all the drama." Nate said looking at the brown haired boy.

"Ofcourse I want to see my best friend. Come here. I can't believe you're here," Lexa said before hugging him tight. Her voice sounded different. It didn't sound like Lexa.

"I told you I'd always find you no matter where, no matter how far, no matter how dangerous. I'll be there for you Alicia. It's our pact." Donny said in a funny way.

"Have all the hugs run out yet?" A dirty blond standing behind Donny asked.

"Ah! Marny." Lexa said.

"Ah! Alicia." Marny said.

"The Australians have reunited!" Nate said which made Donny laugh.

"Aussies are cool. Shrimp on the Barbie." Donny said in a cute Australian accent.

"Omg I have to tell you so much." Marny said.

"Omg me too. There's so much to talk about it. So much has happened and I don't even know where to start. Gosh why weren't you here so much sooner." Lexa said.

"Alright girls. We're going to get food. Then we'll be right back." The boys said.

"I'll come with, be back Clarke." Lexa said. They all went to get food.

"Woah! Who were they? Lexa seems super close with all of them." Raven said.

"She said best friend right? to the guy named Donny?" Octavia asked.

"Yea... Why?" I said.

"She told me about her past boyfriends and her first boyfriend/first love was her best friend. The description fits Donny don't you think." Octavia said. O shit. I felt warmer. Lexa's ex was here. He's tall. Has great hair. Has an accent. Has a lovable family. How do I compete with that. Stop Clarke stop being insecure.

Lexa, Nate, Donny, and Marny returned with food.

"Guys this is Clarke, Octavia and Raven. Polis fam this is Nate, Donny, and Marny, my Earth fam. I've known them since I was little. Marny and I met in Australia which is why I sounded a little like her before. I only get it when I'm with other people with accents. Nate and Donny are siblings. Donny and I are childhood best friends. He has a British accent because he lived there a few years when he was really young. Ok someone tell me how you guys are here." Lexa said.

"We used the van weather machine, remember the one we travelled in when we got trapped in that warehouse. Our parents were infected and we had to leave them but the van showed that there was only one big storm on Earth. It was in the middle of the ocean. We thought it was a bit weird but we thought it was a sign so we traveled to it. We found a small boat and rode it into the storm and we ended up here. Some men in armor came and brought us here." Donny said.

"Yea and by the way Alicia we bumped into your family when we came in." Nate said.

"Your brother looks a lot better. He told me he stopped the drugs." Marny said.

"Oh Alicia. Nick told me about Matt. I'm so sorry. He was a good guy." Donny said before giving Lexa a small hug.

"He was. He wanted to meet you, all of you. Too bad he never got to it." Lexa said. It was kind of hard for me to watch all of this talk about other people in Lexa's life but I had to be sympathetic and quiet.

"So how was Alicia on Earth? A total music critique I bet?" Raven asked.

"Well, we all were kind of famous,"Marny said.

"Famous?" Octavia said.

"Yea, like people knew us, lots of people. They wanted pictures and autographs and all. Alicia was a professional dancer and actress, but I'm pretty sure she could've been a singer too. Her schedule with her other two jobs forced her to just admire music as an audience member. Donny was a professional dancer too. Nate was on his way to becoming a filmmaker. I was an actress. We all just so happen to have taken a break from our jobs and went home before the infection started. I had no idea that I'd see Donny since he's been in the military ever since Alicia moved to LA." Marny said.

"I can't imagine people bombarding Lexa without her kicking someone's ass," Octavia said.

"I acted very proper in the public eye actually. Is it so hard to believe O?" Lexa said.

"Yea. A little." I said agreeing with O. Lexa grabbed my hand and gave me a good squeeze.

"What about in school? You guys all went to school together right?" Octavia asked.

"My brother and I kind of were film geeks. We weren't bullied or anything, but we were ignored. Alicia and Marny on the other hand were the cool kids. They were both really outgoing in school and participated in school shows and everything." Donny said.

"Cool kids. I could see that." Raven said eyeing Marny and Lexa.

"No, I was honestly a big nerd who was luckily friends with Marny over here." Lexa said giving Marny a side hug.

"You guys came on a good day because tonight we are going to have a dance." Raven said.

"We got loads of clothes we found to sort through for everyone to wear." Octavia said.

Lexa's POV

I was honestly so excited to see my friends. I hadn't seen them in a year. Our schedules were so hectic back home and we all lived in different places. Seeing them reminded me of where I spent my childhood. It was amazing. I was a little worried though. My wife was in the room and so was my ex boyfriend. I love Clarke the most in the world. Donny's my best friend. I needed to talk to him though. I felt bad. I broke up with him when he was in the military. He kept putting himself in danger and it scared me. I couldn't stay around and watch him go down. I seem a little like a hypocrite though, knowing that's how Clarke feels every time I have to fight someone, but that was when I was Alicia. I really do owe Clarke for all her strength and trust in me. I didn't know where Donny's head was at being here, and I didn't want him to offend Clarke. I needed to talk to him as soon as possible. I walked up to him.

"Hey Donny. We should probably talk. You know… about everything." I said awkwardly.

"Look Alicia. I'm not going to beat around the bush. I still have feelings for you. I always have, but if you aren't feeling the same way. It's okay. Just let me know. I don't mind being just your best friend. I just want you in my life. I don't want you to run away again and I don't want to feel the need to leave you because I feel unworthy. I want us to be us again. Alicia and Donny. The amazing dance duos and the amazing best friends." Donny said.

"I'm with someone now, but I want you to know that I do still care about you and I want you in my life like you said. I was us to go back to the beginning without all the drama and complications. I want to be able to go to you for everything again and not to think twice. I want my best friend back too." I said giving him a hug.

"It's Clarke isn't it? The person you're with. I mean." Donny said.

"Yea, it is." I blushed.

"I could tell by the way you secretly glanced at her every so often before. She's different from everyone you ever dated. She's a little more serious but she's not a douche." Donny said.

"Aye. You know you called yourself a douche just now, Donny." I said chuckling.

"Yea and I wholeheartedly admit it. Clarke is gorgeous though." Donny said.

"DONNNY!" I groaned. He just laughed as we headed back towards the others.

Clarke's POV

Lexa and her friends went to go get some clothes, while I went to go see my mother. Afterwards I went back to Lexa's room. I was kind of angry with Lexa. It was like once her friends showed up, I became no one to her. I wasn't use to her being with other people. Lexa was always alone and I guess it made me feel special that she gave me all her attention. This was new to me. And that Donny... I was jealous. He seemed perfect. I couldn't help but think that Lexa and him looked good together. They were together. Ugh!

Soon after I heard the door open and footsteps. I knew who it was. It was Lexa, but I didn't turn around. I was too busy drawing the scenery from the window and I was too busy being jealous and petty. I felt arms circle my waist and rested on my abdomen. I felt her front press onto my back and her neck rested on my left shoulder. She gave me a quick cheek kiss.

"I'm so happy right now. I have my family, my friends, and my beautiful, wise, and caring wife with me. I love you." Lexa said. I couldn't keep my jealousy mood going with Lexa saying the sweetest words. I turned around and tried to smile.

"Hey babe what's wrong." Lexa said.

"Nothing love. Just a little tired." I lied.

"We don't have to go to the dance if you don't want to. We can just stay in an cuddle." Lexa said increasing her grip around my waist. Aww she would stay in with me. This girl. I just couldn't explain it. Why did she have this effect on me? I gave her a big and slobbery kiss. She laughed after.

"No Lex. Let's go. Raven and you were so excited for this dance. Getting Raven to okay dancing with her leg in that condition is a great feat. I'm not letting that go to waist." I said.

"Really. Omg okay! I brought you the cutest clothes. We're going to meet Marny in her room because she has all the makeup from back home. I can do your make up and your hair." Lexa said.

"I thought we were just going to call your clan's make up person for that stuff." I said.

"It's an Earth dance not a Grounder's dance. You're in good hands with me love. I promise." She said.

"I mean... I do like your hands." I said with a coy smile.

"I'll get myself ready first. You go take a bath first okay love." Lexa said.
