Clarke POV
"You haven't told her about Elise?" Octavia practically shouted.
"There just hasn't been a good time to bring it up." I said ,taking a sip from my mountain dew, trying to avoid what Octavia was about to say.
"You two have known each other for two weeks now and you're closer than the skin is to your face. If you just tell her now, she won't get mad later at you for hiding something from her."
"I just don't want her to get scared away by the fact that I'm 18 with an almost 3 year old."
"I've met this girl once and she doesn't seem like she'd be the person to freak out because you have a kid." she said, "And you're not in high school anymore."
"I just-"
"Clarke, if you ever want to be with her, you have to be honest about everything first."
"I know, but-"
"No, if you just tell her now before you two actually get involved. It'll save you a lot of heart break if she does freak out."
"What am I supposed to say? Hey, I had a baby at 16. So how was you're day?"
"Just tell her you need to tell her something and that it's important."
I threw my head back on the couch and let out a groan, covering my face with my hands.
"You'll be fine."

Lexa left to go to the bathroom, leaving her phone on the couch. I took this as my chance to mess with her phone. In the time she was gone I managed to take 200 pictures of myself and change her lock screen to a picture of a big dog stuck in a doggy door.
As she came back I pretended to be really interested in my phone, texting someone.
"What the hell did you do to my lock screen?"
"I didn't do anything. I've just been minding my own business." I said, keeping my gaze on my phone.
"You're terrible." She mumbled, "How many pictures did you take on my phone? God, Clarke."
"Next time you'll remember that I can't be trusted with a phone, alone."
"You took 200 hundred pictures. I'm posting some of these as your punishment."
I just smiled at her, trying not to giggle, "You're lucky you're cute."
"You're lucky, you weren't gone for another 30 seconds. You know that background is cute."
"It's terrible. The dog is stuck and he looks so sad."
"Wow, soft much?" I asked. She tossed a pillow at me, mumbling that I should shut up and how she wasn't soft and that I was just mean. She was cute when she was being pouty, so I thought I'd just sneak a pic on my phone and Instagram it.
princessgriffin: She's being mopey because I spammed her phone with pictures and changed her lock screen while she was gone. #shelovesme
octaviablake: I should have warned her ?
ravenreyes: how cute? ﾟﾘﾍ
princessgriffin: shut up, both of you
lexawoods: I am not being mopey. You're just being creepy with pictures
princessgriffin: lexawoods you're cute

"You like her." Octavia said.
"So what?" I asked through a bite of peanut butter and banana sandwich.
"Well, anyone whose blind can see that she's totally into you." Octavia said, biting her lip, "And I might have texted her..."
"You did what?" I shrieked, "What did you say?"
"I didn't tell her that you've had the hots for her since you first met, if that's what you're wondering."
"Who has the hots for who?" Raven asked, bursting through the front door with a bag of something on her arm.
"Clarke-"
Raven didn't even let Octavia finish, "I knew it."
"Would you two shut up?" I asked, getting up from the couch trying my best to avoid all eye contact as I went to check on Elise who had been napping for two hours now.
"Have fun telling her about your kid." Raven said, mockingly.
"I hate you."
"You love me." I rolled my eyes and walked into Elise's room. She suddenly came running towards me, throwing herself into my arms.
"I heard auntie O!" She squealed in my ear as she wrapped her arms around my neck, "And auntie Ray."
"Then why don't you go get them?" I asked. She let go of me and practically sprinted to the living room, screaming the whole time.
"Mama, when do I see Daddy?"
"Two days."
"That too long." She gave me a grumpy face that was really cute.
"You'll live. I promise, but right now you need to eat something." I said, poking her nose.
"Mac and cheese!" She squealed.
"I'm down for that." Raven said.
"Me too." Octavia agreed.
"With Clarke cooking?"
"Shut up Raven."
"Mama, dat bad word." Elise said, putting her fingers on my lips.
"Geez, Clarke, get it together." Raven scoffed.
"Octavia has said much worse in front of her."
"I did that once." Octavia defended.
"You said like all of the swear words in one sentence."
"That is completely beside the point."
"Sure it is."

"Ten bucks Clarke's drunk within the hour." Lexa looked to Octavia and Raven as she said this.
"Why do you guys always think so lowly of me?"
"Clarke, the last time we took you out, you drank a lot and we had to call Bellamy to carry you home." Octavia said, giving me a skeptical look. "After you fell off of one of the tables and nearly broke your ankle."
"That was like 3 months ago." I said, "And my ankle hasn't been the same since."
Raven giggled, "How are those heels doing?"
"I only tripped once on the way here." I pointed out, "So they're doing pretty good."
And 45 minutes later Lexa was doing her best to keep me on my feet. Raven and Octavia were forcing drinks on me, and they were really good so it made it hard to say no especially with a certain someone sitting right there looking at me with those piercing green eyes.
"God, Clarke. Why did you think it was a good idea to put heels on?" Lexa groaned, keeping a hold under my arms.
"I don't look as short." I slurred, giggling at her, "You're cute."
"And you're drunk."
I couldn't help but let my eyes drift between her lips and her eyes. There were so many things I wanted to say at this moment, but my drunk mind was having problems putting them into words. My mind was a literal jumble. I'd only known her for a month, but if felt like months.
"I'm so into you, it's crazy."
