Clarke (6:27am): It's Movie Friday, want to join us tonight? 8:30 Octavia's place :) I can pick you up if you want. Raven will be there too and some other friends. I'm sure you'll like them. But be warned: Octavia picks the movie ;) xx

Clarke (2:11pm): Forgot to say; I'd be happy if you could make it :)

Clarke (7:33pm): Don't worry about it :) Hope you're having a nice evening! xx

It was unusual for Lexa to not reply at all but Clarke shook off any negative thoughts and downed her second shot with Octavia, Jasper and Monty. They laughed at a pouting Raven, who had lost rock–paper–scissors against Clarke about who was driving.

Bellamy and Echo arrived a few moments later and Octavia proudly explained that she had picked the worst horror movie she could find, so the whole group was... excited and couldn't get drunk fast enough.

The movie though was not as bad as they had expected and had some rather great jump scare moments. A few more shots after it ended, Clarke excused herself to the bathroom. She closed the door and pulled out her phone, disappointedly sighing when she realized that the brunette still hadn't answered.

Clarke (10:18pm): Are you okay?

"Clarkypooo! I'm the sober idiot that's bored to death and I wanna go home!" Raven whined from the couch when Clarke appeared in the living room. The blonde was thankful, she was rather drunk and way too tired for the party that was building up, a few of Octavia's friends had already joined them and the group was getting bigger and bigger. She nodded and they waved their friends goodbye and left, ignoring the insults the rest jokingly shouted after them.

"Why the fuck did Octavia decide to move to Brooklyn again?"

"I don't know Rae. Would you stop slowing down though, the way is long enough already."

"I um, I was actually wondering if you uh, know the way? I think I took a wrong turn and we're kinda lost." Raven explained, slightly scared of the already grumpy Clarke.

"What do you mean we're lost?" Clarke sat herself up a little and looked out of the window. "Where the hell are we?"

"I think we're in Vinegar Hill."

"God, Raven. How did we end up in Vinegar Hill?!" Clarke was too tired to argue but she was annoyed nonetheless.

"I don't know, I just kinda drove and now we're here."

"Okay, just keep driving, I think I know where we are. Try turning left the next street. Over there, see?"

Raven nodded but stared out of the side window, not paying attention to where Clarke was pointing.

"Clarke"

"Over there, you just– you're not even looking!"

"Isn't that Lexa?"

"What?"

"Lexa, isn't that her over there?" Raven repeated, pointing at a person sitting on the porch of a small rather run–down house.

"No no, she lives on the Upper East Side, and it's super late, that means Aden is asleep so she's gotta be home. That's definitely not her."

"I'm serious Clarke, I swear that's her. Lemme just check real quick."

"No, Raven! I just wanna go ho– ugh fuck you." Clarke sighed as Raven was about to open the door. "Stay here, I'll go." Clarke climbed out of the car and walked up to the person that Raven assumed was Lexa. It was dark and Clarke had forgotten her glasses at Octavia's, so she couldn't tell at all whether the person looked similar to Lexa or not. Her question was rather answered though when the person noticed Clarke and jumped up, turning around to disappear into the house. Clarke was faster though and grabbed the other woman's arm.

"Lexa?!" The woman's body stiffened but she didn't turn around.

"Clarke, what are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same, you know?" Clarke sighed. "Lexa, look at me."

Lexa turned her head slightly so that Clarke could see a bit of her face. The blonde let go of Lexa's arm and softened her voice. "Lexa..."

The brunette turned around and Clarke immediately noticed the bruised lips.

"Lexa what the fuck?"

"You shouldn't be here, Clarke. I'm sorry that I didn't answer, I was busy. I'll call you tomorrow, I promise. But now I need you to go. Please."

"I'm not leaving you! Tell me what happened to your lip!"

"Clarke, please. Don't worry. I'm fine, I promise. Just... hey Raven." Clarke turned around and saw that Raven was coming closer.

"Hey Lex! I knew it was youoohhh my God what the fucking hell?!"

"Can you please drive Clarke home? I'll explain everything later. Please Raven."

"Well fuck no, Miss Upper East Side, we'll go nowhere until you haven't told Clarke what's going on." Raven stated and crossed her arms. Lexa suggested for Raven to drive home and promised them she'd explain everything to Clarke and take care of her and drop her off later, so Raven reluctantly agreed and left.

Lexa looked at the house behind her and sighed when she turned back to Clarke but made two steps towards the blonde and reached for her hand. "This is not what it looks like." she said with a soft voice, her eyes looking deeply into Clarke's.

"I don't even know what it looks like, Lexa. So... after you." Clarke gestured for the brunette to lead the way.
