Clarke laid flat on her back questioning herself on why she'd never actually planned out sex with anyone she's ever dated. Not like it was classy or anything but what can you say if you just can get enough of someone. Sitting up she ran her fingers through her hair it was an absolute mess but she didn't care. She had no plans till tonight when she had to meet up with everyone for girls night. She couldn't believe break was pretty much over which means she was going to be a full time art student. It felt odd thinking about because of how much time she spent wanting to become a doctor and then how her world changed and how it's changed again. Looking at the brunette passed out next to her she crept off the bed to grab her sketch pad. She had been wanting to draw Lexa again but without her actually paying attention or rushing her. She dug out out the one Lexa bought for her from her house. Opening it up silently she took out the pencil and sat down on the ground looking at Lexa from the side comfortable wearing a small smile.
"Stunning." Clarke whispered to herself as she sketched out the smooth lines of Lexa's body. She worked her way down over her shoulders seeing the slight flex rolling down her back and how it curved into where the blanket lay just low enough to expose the girls hip. Her stomach was pressed into the bed and even then you could still see the outline of her abs with just a partial view of her chest. Angling the girls arms around her face Clarke started in on her bone structure. Lexa had to have the best jaw line she's ever sketched. Starting to shade in her hair and sketch down the bed lines making it look almost as she was floating she peeked back up to see Lexa's eyes open.
"Shit." Clarke jumped.
"That's what you get." Lexa mumbled into the bed laughing.
"You're not suppose to be awake." Clarke shifted sitting crisscross as she started to rub in the lines with her thumb.
"You're not suppose to be drawing me." Lexa propped up on her elbows.
"Once again you are not suppose to move." Clarke glared at the girl who rolled all around in the bed.
"Is that better?" Lexa smirked.
"Such a smartass." Clarke picked up a pillow and smacked her in the head with it. Putting her sketchbook down she knew she wouldn't get anywhere with Lexa rolling around in her bed let alone her being naked.
"I learned from a blonde." Lexa watched Clarke slide towards her.
"Mmhmm sure you did." Clarke leaned in kissing Lexa softly.
"Now that is what you are suppose to be doing." Lexa mumbled when Clarke pulled away.
"It's okay I promise to get you down on paper one day." Clarke stood only to feel her hand get pulled causing her to tumble onto the bed.
"Leexxaaaa." Clarke huffed out when she hit the girls rock hard body.
"I missed you." Lexa put on a baby face trying not to laugh at Clarke's frustrated look.
"Ohhh geez do you have to look like that." Clarke grabbed her heart smiling.
"Did it work?" Lexa cocked an eyebrow at the blonde.
"No." Clarke pushed up off of Lexa only to be pulled back down but this time hard against Lexa's thigh.
"Now did it work?" Lexa bit her lip watching Clarke's eyes go dark with desire.
"No." Clarke said in a whisper knowing exactly what Lexa was trying to do.
"Are you sure." Lexa let her nails slide down Clarke's back grabbing her ass to pull her up.
"Lex." Clarke cut herself off by biting her lip trying to stop the moan from coming out with the friction Lexa was causing between her legs.
"Hmmm what was that Clarke?" Lexa couldn't help but watch the blondes face. She was struggling with her self control.
"You don't know what you are getting yourself into." Clarke pushed up straddling the brunette watching her eyes go wide a little.
"Maybe I do maybe I don't." Lexa watched Clarke smirk with confidence like she was planning something.
Clarke grabbed the hem of her tank top pulling it up over her head letting it fall. She had only grabbed clothes due to the fact that she was going to be sketching but that now Lexa was awake she planned on taking advantage of the real thing.
"I promise I'll keep you guessing." Clarke ran her hands through her hair letting it fall back down her back rolling her hips down into Lexa she watched the girl gulp swallowing whatever she was going to attempt to say. Clarke leaned down letting their skin brush up against each other feeling Lexa arch her back into her. Sitting back up she let her fingertips brush down Lexa's stomach as she closed her eyes to her touch. Taking advantage of the situation she leaned down to whisper in Lexa's ear.
"I want to…" Clarke stopped mid sentence hearing Lexa's phone blast out next to them.
"Ignore it." Lexa ran her hands up Clarke's thighs digging her fingers into her hips hearing the girl groan.
Ding ding ding
Clarke looked down at Lexa with frustration in her eyes hearing her voicemail tone ring out.
"Really Lexa?" Clarke leaned over grabbing the girls phone rolling her eyes when she heard the brunette make a comment about her body.
"I told you to ignore it." Lexa was admiring Clarke's naked body leaning over her.
"It's from Gustus and it says ASAP on the text." Clarke could just see the preview of the text.
"Give it here." Lexa grabbed the phone punching in her code replying to the message to see if it was actually an emergency. When she seen Gustus's reply she locked her phone and patted Clarke in the ass.
"I have to go." Lexa felt Clarke roll off of her but heard her huff out breath in obvious frustration.
"What is so important?" Clarke laid back flat on the bed being grouchy for a moment.
"That I will have to explain later." Lexa slipped on her pants looking for her tank top somewhere around the room.
"It's over there." Clarke laughed seeing Lexa's shirt on the side of the chair where she obvious threw it off when they entered the bedroom.
"Thank you." Lexa pulled it on quickly walking over to the blonde giving her a quick kiss.
"Umm excuse me?" Clarke got to her knees on the bed looking at Lexa with the blanket wrapped around her.
"What?" Lexa tugged on her shoes.
"If you are leaving here with me physically not pleased after you started it then you better get your ass over here and kiss me better than that." Clarke smiled seeing Lexa walk back towards her.
"Whatever you say princess." Lexa grabbed Clarke by the back of the neck pulling her forward so she was leaning off the bed pressed into her body before letting their lips crash together. At first it was hot with passion Clarke pulling at her shirt almost silently begging her not to leave before Lexa slowed it down like she was begging for forgiveness because she was leaving.
"Mmmm you so owe me." Clarke kept her eyes closed feeling Lexa lean in one more time to kiss her before heading towards the door.
"You mean you owe me." Lexa watched Clarke's eyes snap open glaring at her in the doorway.
"Commander get your ass out of my apartment." Clarke flipped off the girl walking out of her apartment laughing.
Lexa walked down the street reading the instructions Gustus had given to her in the text. Turning the corner looking down the street she seen headlights flash quickly at her. She knew that had to be him sitting in the car. Opening the door she jumped in.
"What is the emergency." Lexa asked looking at Gustus who had a stone cold face on.
"How well do you know Clarke's friend Raven?" Gustus turned to judge Lexa's face.
"Pretty well I mean it was her and me who worked together on the penthouse idea." Lexa was confused not understanding the question.
"Hmmm and how long has she known Clarke?" Gustus was trying to figure out if Raven was involved or if she was getting played. Echo was very good at getting her way even when you thought you were being defiant towards her.
"Since they were kids. She knew Octavia first and then they both adopted in Raven to their circle of friendship. Why?" Lexa turned in the seat waiting for a reply.
"I seen Raven today, seems like maybe her and Octavia had gotten into a fight." Gustus tapped his fingers on the steering wheel.
"Okaaayyy and that is an emergency why?" Lexa knew he wouldn't force her to run out of Clarke's apartment for nothing so she was starting to get worried.
"I couldn't overhear what got said but once Octavia was out of site Raven proceeded to head to her apartment when Echo showed up." Gustus could see the shocked face on Lexa without even turning his head.
"What?" Lexa spit out.
"I am not sure how or if the two know each other but Raven got in her car. I went back to the bar thinking you were there but when I found out you made your way back to Clarke's so I headed back this way." Gustus sat silently letting Lexa soak it up a little.
"I seen her on my way over to Clarke's. She got in my face about Octavia dragging her out of her car and threatening her to leave Clarke and myself alone." Lexa laughed wishing she could have seen it.
"I like Octavia, but isn't she dating Raven?" Gustus was trying to fit together the story.
"Yes and no. They are getting to know each other I guess. Octavia has never been with a girl and she caught some feelings for Raven and I guess Raven has had feelings for her for awhile. I can't see Raven purposely fucking up anything with Octavia. You can see the love in her eyes when she looks at Octavia." Lexa knew for a fact that was true.
"Like how you look at Clarke." Gustus heard Lexa take a deep breath causing him to laugh at little.
"Clarke and I are not the topic here." Lexa turned back around in her seat hoping the blush would leave her face quickly.
"Clarke is the topic, along with Echo and what she has planned by becoming friends with Raven." Gustus had a feeling things were going to get ugly between the friends.
"Well Echo is going to have a run for her money when it comes to Octavia and Clarke being on the same page. Trust me I wouldn't even want to get in front of that." Lexa shook her head just thinking about it.
"Good then hopefully this will play to our advantage then." Gustus looked at Lexa seeing her thinking.
"What do you have planned?" Lexa looked up meeting his eyes.
"I will let you know, also the mysterious car has been back around as well. I have an idea on getting the person's identity." Gustus decided it was time to put his plans into play.
"Okay keep me updated, oh and we have girls night tonight at a local bar." Lexa shoved the door open to get out.
"Make sure Clarke knows to keep those marks a little lower on your neck." Gustus laughed on the inside watching Lexa freeze and then shake her head.
"Will do." Lexa shut the door knowing her face was as red as it could get. Hearing someone who was like a father to you comment on parts of your sex life was the worst thing ever. Heading back to the parking lot she unlocked her jeep jumping in she headed back to the bar.
Clarke dug through her closet trying to find something to wear for the night. She wanted to look good but comfortable as well. This was why she always needed her best friend. The girl could pick out an outfit for probably ever fashion model possible and having it be just right. How she ended up being half tomboy getting a scholarship for soccer blew Clarke's mind. Hearing her music blank out for a minute she knew she got a text. Sliding the screen opened she figured the girls eyes had to have been burning.
Octavia: Does 7:30 sound good for you?
Clarke thought it over in her head along with thinking about the fact that they all had classes tomorrow.
Clarke: How about 6:30. I don't want to die on our first day back.
Octavia: Trust me I am going to be walking into class hung over tomorrow no matter what.
Clarke frowned at the message wondering what her best friend in the mood to get drunk besides the fact that she was Octavia.
Clarke: What has you in a mood?
Octavia: I will explain later just make sure you show up and be prepared bitch.
Clarke laughed it sounded a little more like her best friend but she still knew something was up. Looking at the clock she realized she only had about an hour and half now to get read and be at the bar. Digging out some dark grey skinny jeans and a white tank top that dipped low showing just enough cleavage to make Lexa drool. Flipping through her jackets she passed up all the hoodies and pullovers and found her blue blazer. Matching it up she approved but she figured she needed an opinion first. Taking out her phone she snapped a picture to send to Octavia.
Clarke: Approve?
Octavia: Whose pants are you trying to get into?
Clarke laughed knowing her best friend already knew.
Clarke: Who says I'm not trying to get someone in my pants?
Octavia: Last I checked she had heart eyes on you.
Clarke bit her lip thinking about Lexa and the way the girl looked at her and how she couldn't help but love knowing that everyone could see the desire in Lexa's eyes for her.
Clarke: Let's just say it's payback. See you in a bit.
Octavia: Love ya
Clarke decided payback was exactly what she was planning since Lexa had to leave her completely sexually frustrated this afternoon. Something about the girl and the chemistry they had made her not care what others though she just wanted the girl. Snapping her phone back into the dock she pressed play on her current favorite playlist. Hearing Major Lazer's Powerful song blast of her stereo she started to sing and dance thinking about how the song fit her and Lexa. Pulling on a matching set of red lace boyshorts and a bra she approved turning in the mirror. She planned on making Lexa frustrated to the point of no return once she got done with her tonight. Once she had her whole outfit and approve she pulled her hair up and then back down and then back up. She ended up leaving it falling down her shoulders naturally and just applied a small amount of make up. Checking the time she seen she had about 20min before she needed to get to the bar. She figured she would text Lexa because she hadn't heard from the girl since she left this afternoon.
Clarke: Are you still hanging out with us tonight?
Clarke never even thought about the fact that Lexa might not be able to make it.
Lexa: What time?
Clarke: I am meeting Octavia at 6:30 and I am sure Raven is coming with her.
Lexa stopped reading the last text wanting to tell Clarke that it probably wasn't happening that way but she was waiting for Gustus to tell her what he had planned and she had no idea how long that would be.
Lexa: I will meet you there. =)
Clarke smiled at the last text so she grabbed the bear that Lexa had given her and snapped a picture of her kissing the bear and sent it to Lexa.
Lexa: I plan on taking that bear back if it tries to steal you away from me.
Clarke: Haha see you soon.
Clarke made her way to the bar with ease. It was a place that Octavia and her had been going to since they put foot into the city. It was the first bar they ever had a drink it after moving. Making her way to their usual table the bartender waved hi to her and of course within minutes her usual whiskey neat was sitting in front of her. She never was one for the fruity drinks she liked the silky smooth burn slid down her throat. Focusing on her glass she didn't even see Octavia enter the bar till she plopped down on the stool next to her.
"Clarke I need you." Clarke jumped hearing the girl and then feeling her arms wrap around her made her smile.
"I missed you too O." Clarke patted her back but when Octavia pulled back Clarke could tell that she had been crying no matter how gorgeous she was it was still a little evident.
"What is wrong." Clarke watched Octavia wave three fingers to the bartender which means a round of tequila was headed there way.
"Raven and I got into a huge fight and before you yell at me yes I tried to talk it out." Octavia put her head in hands thinking it over again.
"What was it about?" Clarke had a small feeling she knew what was coming.
"I was stupid Clarke. I did as I usually do and I got insecure even though that isn't me and what I guess I didn't realize is that Raven isn't a guy. She isn't going to come back crawling to me like the others do and now I don't know what to do." Octavia thanked the hostess as she downed her first shot of tequila.
"O how many times have you and Raven done this though. I mean come on you have to stop getting in your head." Clarke wrapped her arm around her best friend squeezing her tight.
"Now you sound like her." Octavia rolled her eyes taking the second shot.
"Is she showing up tonight?" Clarke wondered why she hadn't heard from Raven today.
"I don't know. I wasn't suppose to tell you we played nice at brunch today and were suppose to do the same tonight so that we wouldn't cause any drama for you right now with all that is going on." Octavia looked at Clarke's blank face.
"You mean you two were fighting this morning at brunch as well." Clarke asked in shock.
"Yeah we were and after that is when she gave me her key and pretty much verified her words of get your shit out of my apartment statement." Octavia tipped back the last shot on the table.
"Wow you guys fake it really well." Clarke lifted her hand for another round since she never even got a shot and Octavia was already three in and it was going to be a long night.
Lexa was walking to the bar with a smile on her face. Even with the letter and rose and Echo her and Clarke were still fantastic. She knew to never count out her ex but Clarke had been stronger than she could ever imagine. She stood up for the both of them and herself. She not once let Echo slam her into the ground to hard without a clever bounce back. Walking passed the windows she could see Octavia with a couple empty shot glasses in front of her and Clarke drinking whiskey as usual and they seemed to be in a pretty in depth conversation and Lexa couldn't help but notice it looked like Octavia might have been crying. Turning towards the door Lexa spotted Raven standing on the side of the street probably taking in the same view as her.
"Hey." Lexa watched Raven look at her then back into the bar.
"Are you coming in?" Lexa stopped waiting to see if Raven was going to join them. She knew what she about the girl and she couldn't tell if it was pain or guilt written on her face at the moment.
"I don't know if I should." Lexa watched Raven tip her head back like she was trying to fight her own emotions.
"Come on it can be you and me since we know how those two will be all night." Lexa patted Raven on the back giving her a slight push towards the door.
"If this goes bad I am blaming it all on you." Raven reached out swinging the door open.
"Deal." Lexa followed the brunette into the bar. With both of them heading towards the table that Octavia and Clarke sat at. She seen the blonde spot her out of the corner of her eye and then she seen her eyes set on Raven and Lexa had a feeling it was a mesh between love and hate for the girl at the moment. She didn't know the story but she had a feeling it was about to come out.
"Hey commander." Clarke smiled grabbing Lexa's hand leaning in to give her a quick kiss.
"Hello Clarke." Lexa smiled at the blonde noticing how coordinated her outfit was along with how low her tank top went.
"Mmmm so who are you trying to impress?" Lexa faked looking around the room.
"Ohhh the bartender. I needed to make sure we got free drinks tonight." Clarke laughed squeezing her hand when she seen Lexa glare at the guy behind the bar.
"Mmhmm I'll make sure I put my word in up there." Lexa stopped seeing Raven and Octavia stare each other down.
"Just wait till you see what's on underneath it." Clarke winked at Lexa watching her green eyes get darker.
"I can't wait but are we going to live through this." Lexa leaned in whispering in the blondes ear before grabbing a seat across from Clarke next to Raven.
"Raven what are we drinking tonight?" Lexa kicked her under the table trying to make them break the stare down.
"What… ummm I'll just take a .." Lexa heard Raven get cut off by Octavia finishing her sentence on how she would just take a beer.
"I'll be back." Lexa stood up heading to the bar to make sure that they got their drinks and to leave her card so that no one paid at the table for the night since it looks like it was going to be needed.
"I'm going to make sure she gets the right beer." Raven smiled at Clarke before following Lexa to the bar.
"Wow." Octavia spit out looking at Clarke.
"What did you expect O." Clarke shrugged her shoulders trying to think of a way to defuse the situation.
"She could have at least say hello to me. Shit it was probably this time yesterday we were fucking." Octavia tipped back her next shot.
"Ohhh geez O can we not talk about your sex life out loud in the bar." Clarke muffled her laugh taking the next shot from Octavia and drinking it herself.
"Clarke this isn't funny she won't even look at me." Clarke spilled her drink just a little as Octavia hit her.
Clarke couldn't help but feel Lexa's eyes on her. Listening to her best friend rant she looked up seeing Lexa smiling at her. She felt the draw to the girl she wishes they both could just leave now but she knew she needed to be here or her best friend. Pulling out her phone she shot Lexa a text telling her to keep Raven at the bar for a few minutes. She needed to calm down Octavia before they all sat down together again.
"So what's going on with you two?" Lexa read the text putting her phone back in her pocket.
"What do you mean." Raven sipped her beer refusing to turn around.
"It's more than obvious you two are fighting so what happened?" Lexa swirled her whiskey glass hoping Raven would open up. She had questions for the girl beyond what they were talking about now.
"She doesn't trust me, and it goes beyond anything I can prove to her." Raven tapped the bar getting the bartender to give her a shot of tequila as well.
"Do you think that is smart?" Lexa gestured to the tequila.
"Why not we're out for a reason right." Raven grabbed the second one holding it up to Lexa for a cheers as they both took the shot back.
"Ughh I hate that shit." Lexa pushed the glass back chasing it with the smooth whiskey in her glass.
'You sound like Clarke." Lexa laughed hearing Raven's statement.
"So why doesn't she trust you or is it just her who doesn't trust anything." Lexa started to pry.
"Ohhh well see I have this reputation and I guess it means that I fuck every girl who hits on me." Lexa could hear the venom in Raven's voice but Lexa also knew how it felt to be on the end of the argument.
"Are you ever going to talk to her?" Lexa watched both Octavia and Clarke look there way. She could see the shine in the blondes eyes looking at her. The small smirk as she bit her lip made Lexa weak in her knees.
"Well well well…." Lexa stiffened to the voice knowing who was exactly on the other side of her.
"What are you doing here tonight of all nights." Lexa felt Echo slide between her and Raven waving down the bartender.
"A little birdy told me about this place." Echo laughed getting a beer and putting in Lexa's tab.
"Maybe you should leave." Lexa gritted between her teeth.
"Hi Raven." Echo turned her back to Lexa purposely.
"How about we not do this here." Lexa stepped facing both of them knowing it was going to be hell here in a few minutes. She tried her best to block the view.
Clarke couldn't match Octavia shot for shot tonight but they were both laughing and she had helped ease her best friend's mind a little. Hearing Octavia's current favorite song start playing through the speakers she felt the brunette get up and drag her to the tiny dance floor in the bar.
"She told me don't worry about it, she told me don't worry no more." Octavia started to sing to Clarke and snap her fingers.
"We both know we can't go without it." Clarke sang back to Octavia as they both started to belt out The Weeknd in the middle of the bar.
"I can't feel my face when I'm with YOU." Octavia pointed at Clarke.
"But I loooovvvvve it." Clarke sang back as they grabbed each others hands twirling each other around in the bar.
"She told me don't woorrryyyy about it." Clarke held on to Octavia so they both didn't fall feeling Octavia start to relax and get into her normal groove of dancing.
"But I love it, but I love it." Clarke lifted her hands in the air hearing the music slow down for a second as Octavia started to make her way back up her body. She was glad everyone in the bar knew they were best friends or some might be thinking otherwise.
"Thank you." Clarke heard Octavia whisper to her as they both swayed to the music.
"Always for you O. It's going to work itself out." Clarke went to smile at her best friend till she seen her jaw drop.
'What?" Clarke turned to see what Octavia was looking at to only spot the one and only Echo squeezed between Lexa and Raven holding a beer and seemed to be enjoying the conversation she was having with the girls.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Clarke heard Octavia all but growl out the words when she seen Echo playfully throw a hand at Raven seeing her friend smile back.
"Octavia calm down. Let's go find out what it's all about first." Clarke was ready to punch the girl herself especially since they all seemed to be having a great time.
"Hey guys." Clarke spoke to them with her arm linked with Octavia's.
"Ohhh well look who it is." Echo turned spotting the two girls she had been dying to get the attention of.
"Echo." Clarke all but spit it out looking towards Lexa.
"Babe?" Clarke bit her lip trying to read Lexa on what the fuck was going on.
"You don't have to worry Clarke we were just all talking about how Raven and I had lunch today." Echo watched Raven's jaw drop which she hated but seeing the rest of the group about fall over she got what she wanted.
"Excuse me?" Clarke heard and watched Octavia look at Raven for confirmation but not getting a word was more than enough of a yes.
"Wow." this time is was Clarke who laughed sarcastically looking at her friend.
"It wasn't planned nor was it lunch like that." Lexa opened her mouth not thinking about it. She was just trying to help her Raven out.
"Wait you knew about this?" Clarke turned to Lexa hearing what she said.
"I well ummm…." Lexa bit her tongue trying to think of how to explain what she just said.
"Yeah Lex how did you know, because the last I checked it was just Raven and me alone." Echo could see Octavia losing her temper with each second.
"It was just lunch." Clarke finally heard Raven speak for once causing all of them to look at her because she had just confirmed it.
"Just lunch Raven, I really can't believe that is all you have to say." Clarke tightened her grip on Octavia feeling the girls urge to swing at Echo was twirling her beer smiling.
"Clarke you know you have a lot of nerve to even be talking to Raven." Echo spoke up in the conversation making them all look at her.
"Echo I don't want to hear a damn word you have to say." Clarke ignored her still looking at Lexa and Raven.
"Ohhh right so is that why you pretty much got you ex boyfriend to cheat on Raven. Ohh no wait he was Raven's boyfriend when you fucked him right." Echo watched Lexa's jaw drop this time looking at Clarke who was looking at Raven with a hurt in her eyes
"How the fuck do you know.." Clarke was cut off hearing Lexa.
"Is that true?" Lexa looked at Clarke seeing the blondes emotions written all over her face.
"No well yes… the story isn't that black and white." Clarke squeezed her own fist this time hearing Echo laugh behind her a little.
"Yes or no Clarke." Raven tipped her beer back looking at Clarke.
"You're fucking ridiculous Raven." Clarke heard Octavia throw at her.
"Actually I think that might be you." Echo stepped up smirking at Octavia.
"You don't know shit about me." Clarke stopped Octavia from stepping forward.
"Mmm well after what I learned this afternoon I know you are stupid for fucking something up with Raven because I mean come on who wouldn't want that." Echo ran her finger down Raven's arm feeling Lexa and Octavia stare at her as she continued to check out Raven up and down.
"Really?" Lexa stared at Echo with shock written on her face at the bold flirtation.
"What Lex? Was I supposed to wait for you?" Echo stared down Lexa in a challenge as she heard the group break into little pieces and it made her smile on the inside.
Clarke stood for a second in shock at what was happening. She couldn't believe that she just watched Echo take a crack at each and every one of them breaking down every barrier of trust they all might have had. She exposed every secret or unspoken truth about all of them at once. She pitted every single one of them against each other without even having to do anything but sip her beer and laugh.
"No you were waiting for me." Clarke turned to Echo with the challenge now.
"Ohhh I'm sorry Clarke you were never on my agenda. You are not my type." Echo shrugged off Clarke.
"I'm going to knock the fuck out of you." Lexa watched Octavia surge forward full force about to swing at Echo. She reached her arm out stopping the brunette with the force of her body only to get side swiped by Octavia feeling the connection to her cheek bone.
"Oops." Echo whispered seeing the collision between Octavia and Lexa turning she raised her beer to the bartender because things were just now getting interesting.
"This is more of an oops." Clarke spit out watching Echo turn to her with that shitty smirk on her face as she swung out punching Echo directly in the mouth watching her slip backwards and fall on her ass dropping her beer.
"Ohhhhh shit." Clarke heard Octavia gasp out.
"Clarke." Lexa pushed Octavia back a little farther putting her hand on Clarke's shoulder.
"You don't got much to say now do you." Clarke glared down looking at Echo who was holding her mouth watching the blood drip off her lip.
"OUT now all of you." Clarke turned seeing security pointing at all of them to exit the bar. She grabbed a hold of Octavia heading towards the door she could hear Echo yell something to her back about this wasn't over. Clarke didn't care she just had all of her business and her friends personal business shoved down their throats in the middle of a bar. It was uncalled for and obviously done to cause shit so Clarke put a stop to it.
"Damn that hurt." Clarke shook her hand out as they all were standing on the sidewalk outside the bar.
"I can't believe you." Clarke turned seeing Octavia standing in front of Raven who obviously still had nothing to say.
"Clarke." Lexa wasn't sure what to believe but that wasn't important at the moment she just wanted to make sure the blonde was okay.
"What?" Clarke stood tall looking at Lexa who obviously knew more about the situation then she had let be known.
"Are you okay." Lexa reached out trying to feel the top of Clarke's hand and wrist making sure she didn't break anything only to feel the blonde pull back.
"It's fine and it's more than fine to use again if you don't explain yourself." Clarke shook her hand a little feeling the wind burn her knuckles.
"Clarke it's ughhh I don't even know how to explain it all right now but I know that it's something we should sit down and talk about." Lexa was frustrated on how to explain what she knew to the blonde on top of being curious if what Echo said about Clarke and Raven was true.
"How could you sit and look at me knowing you knew all about them." Clarke nodded her head to Raven.
"I think we both have some explaining to do." Lexa watched Clarke's head snap up looking at her straight faced.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Clarke turned her body fully towards Lexa crossing her arms.
"I mean is it true what Echo said in there between you and Raven and that guy." Lexa could tell they both were pushing buttons at the moment.
"What if it is?" Clarke bit her tongue trying to not make it a challenge.
"I mean how could you or why would you do that to your friend." Lexa held her hand out to Raven who was currently going at it with Octavia.
"Like you said Lexa there is more to the story then what your bitch of a ex had to say in there." Clarke rolled her eyes turning around to her best friend who was obviously ready to kill Raven.
"Octavia come on let's go." Clarke tried to pull back her best friend who was going head to head with her other friend in an argument. She could see the tears spilling down her face and Raven cold stare. She was shocked that Raven had yet to explain why she did what she did and how she was giving everyone the cold shoulder regarding Echo.
"Raven come walk with me." Lexa spoke up grabbing Raven by the arm trying to tug her out of the argument like Clarke was doing with Octavia.
"Seriously." Clarke looked at Lexa wondering why there seemed to be a breakage in the friends.
'What I am doing the exact same thing that you are doing with Octavia." Lexa shrugged her shoulders trying to figure out how the friends fighting got them to fighting.
"No I'm good." Clarke stopped looking at Raven pretty much yell at her and Octavia and shoving Lexa off of her.
'What the hell is your problem Raven." Clarke stepped in front of her friend ready to swing at her friend maybe to knock some sense into her.
"Last I checked it shouldn't be me your worried about Clarke." Clarke watched Raven walk back into the bar towards Echo.
"Fuck this." Clarke turned to see Octavia stomp off in the other direction leaving just her and Lexa now standing in front of the bar.
"Well there goes girls night." Clarke threw her hands up in defeat.
"Come on let me walk you home." Lexa held out her hand.
'No I have to go get Octavia she has been drinking and I refuse to leave her out here like this. Why don't you go back in there and finish your drink." Clarke tossed at Lexa knowing it was a low blow but the girls ex just got to her that much.
"Clarke." Lexa grabbed her hand pulling her into her arms.
"Lexa." Clarke turned her head trying not to look up at the girl because she knew she would cave. It was hard enough feeling their bodies touching and the brunettes strong arms wrapped around her.
"I'll wait up for you." Lexa whispered in the blondes ear kissing her on her temple before walking away to go retrieve Raven from the bar.
Clarke watched Lexa go in and separate Raven from Echo halting the drinks heading there way pulling Raven out the back door of the bar. She seen red watching Echo try to hug both girls goodbye while holding ice to her lip. Seeing the girl with a busted open lip she couldn't help but laugh when she turned around to hunt Octavia out knowing the girl probably walked a block down to the bench they always sat on where the ice cream stand was.
"Heyyyy." Clarke spotted Octavia exactly where she figured but she was crunched up in a ball crying. Clarke wrapped her arms around her whispering to her that it was going to be okay. She let the girl lean on her and just cry letting it all out. She told herself that no matter what it was going to work out and she planned on making Echo pay for it all.
"Can we get ice cream?" Clarke smiled hearing her best friend still be her best friend even when she was bawling looking a mess and in the hardest times.
"Yes we can." Clarke stood up walking them over to the ice cream stand. Looking back at the bar a block down from where they were she seen a guy standing up on the terrace drinking a beer looking there way like he had been watching the whole time. She shivered thinking about it but turned her attention back to Octavia as they started walking towards her apartment.
A/N BOOM okay so rough moments on everyone. We just got our first real taste of Echo and how she plays dirty, but we all know there was some satisfaction in that punch. Now it's time for some truths and a little more drama along with another twist. Let's hope things hold together rather then crash and burn. Back to college is about to start off with a hot mess. Please review let me know what you all think and maybe where it's going and why? Thank you for all of your support. xoxoxo
