A/N Okay everyone this chapter was horrible on me. I did the write, delete, and rewrite a few times because I had it all in my head perfect but I couldn't get it out in words right so I hope I did this some justice. Also don't hate me for what is about to go down. Eeekkkk. Thanks for all the support ohhhh and OMG we just broke thirty. I'm so shocked I've gotten this far xoxoxo
Clarke took the seat Lexa had pulled out for her before she felt the girl sit down next to her. She watched her mother get up and grab three glasses before sitting them on the table.
"Would you like a drink." Clarke watched both Mr. Voss and her mother carefully.
"Whiskey neat for both of us." Clarke watched her mom roll her shoulders in disapproval.
"Father can you tell me why we are here?" Lexa spoke up finally seeing as her father was standing in front of a window with a drink in his hand.
"We're here to have dinner Alexandra." Lexa watched him turn around and put a smile on for show.
"A dinner in the den?" Lexa questioned.
"I figured if it was going to be just us semi formal was needed." Clarke watched him eyeball both of them looking for a reaction.
"It's good to see you again Mr. Voss." Clarke had no idea why she always wanted to poke at the man.
"The feeling is mutual Clarke. I wished to speak to you sooner before this dinner but my daughter insisted it was unnecessary." Lexa stiffened feeling Clarke's eyes on her.
"Well I apologize. I wasn't informed of the request." Clarke felt the words roll on her tongue with a little attitude.
"So Clarke tell me how is school?" Clarke was a little taken back hearing her mother actually ask about her life.
"School is great. I am still in a few medical classes but I have shifted my priority schedule to art. I plan on following my dream." Clarke felt proud of herself.
"I see well I am happy to hear you still have one foot in the medical field due to my profession." Clarke tipped her head giving her mom a sarcastic smile knowing she was just trying to dig at her change in heart regarding school.
"Clarke I have seen your work hanging in my bar. You have a talent in both fields." Lexa felt her jaw drop slightly hearing her father compliment Clarke.
"Are we here to just catch up on school activities or was their a real point to this dinner?" Clarke felt like they were both being bullshitted at the moment.
"Clarke don't be rude." Clarke heard her mother scorn her but she kept her eye contact with Mr. Voss.
"We are having dinner." Lexa heard her father say it again and at the same time people talked in with food placing everyone on a separate table for them to choose from.
"That is a little more like it." Clarke would never back down from a good meal no matter how awful the company was.
"Please help yourself. Clarke may I have a word?" Clarke looked at her mother not sure if she wanted to agree.
"Of course." Clarke stood bringing her drink knowing it was going to be needed.
Clarke looked back at Lexa who was currently still sitting with her eyes closed like she was praying nothing bad happened. Clarke was a little shocked when she felt her mom wrap her arm through hers as they exited the den and started a small tour through the house.
"This is such a beautiful house." Clarke looked around listening to her mother.
"The architecture was done personally by the past family." Clarke and her mother jumped hearing someone behind them.
"I'm sorry and who are you?" Clarke smiled seeing Gustus standing behind them.
"Ninja man." Clarke turned and hugged the big man.
"Miss Griffin." Gustus tipped his head towards Clarke's mother.
"This is Lexa's bodyguard and best friend." Clarke looked at Gustus seeing the mutual agreement between the two.
"Well Alexandra is not with us at the moment." Clarke heard her mother's tone.
"He likes my company." Clarke bit her lip knowing it would annoy her mother.
"I shall assist you on the tour of the house." Gustus decided he was going to stay with Clarke.
Clarke watched her mother look around as they followed the man listening to all the stories he told. The house had been built several generations back and each family member who the house was passed down too had added their own touch to the design.
"This explains a lot more about Lexa." Clarke ran her fingers down huge carved wooden post in what seemed to be another den.
"She actually designed this room herself." Gustus smiled in approval of the library that was also a small workshop.
"Alexandra did all this work?" Clarke heard her mother hum as if she was judging the work.
"Yes she is very talented with her hands." Clarke couldn't help but add the pun and hearing Gustus cough she was satisfied.
"Clarke please let's keep this appropriate we are a guest in this house." Clarke rolled her eyes at her mother seeing Gustus smile at her.
"Ninja man please tell me this will be over soon." Clarke stood near him watching her mother walk the room.
"I am sorry Clarke I cannot give you a timeline." Gustus whispered to the blonde.
"Do you have any idea what this is all about?" Clarke asked him hoping she could get a heads up.
"I do not but I did get some more information on the investigation." Gustus kept his voice down.
"What did you find out?" Clarke was curious.
"Clarke please come here." Clarke glared at her mother for interrupting her conversation.
"Yes mother?" Clarke stepped up next to her taking another sip of her whiskey.
"Is this yours?" Clarke looked at a small painting hanging on the wall next to a desk. It was definitely hers and she was in shock because it was a personal piece she had drawn of her and her father's hands exchanging the ring she wore on her neck with the words May we meet again across the bottom of it.
"It is indeed my work." Clarke turned around to see Gustus shrug his shoulders as if he had no idea how Lexa had got her hands on the painting.
"Do you give your art away Clarke or was it purchased." Clarke knew exactly where her mother was going.
"This piece actually was never for sale. How Lexa got ahold of it is not to my knowledge." Clarke was honest. She had donated the piece to an art show to raise money for students who were in need of scholarships. Her father had lead her towards her dreams and this was her way of helping others.
"So you gave it away." Clarke heard her mother's disapproval.
"I donated it mother. It was to be purchased in another auction to help raise money for scholarships to students who needed help." Clarke stood proud in her work.
"I noticed you still wear the ring." Clarke naturally brought her hand up to her father's ring he had intended to give to her when she graduated.
"It never leaves me." Clarke wasn't sure why her mother was being so interested in her life.
"There seems to be a lot of you in this room." Clarke followed her mother's sight seeing a picture of Lexa and her framed. It looked like it was the original picture taken of them in the parking lot at the sporting good store. Clarke couldn't help but smile that Lexa had tracked down the photographer. The smile on her face had been captured perfect when Lexa had spun her around that day and how she didn't see it till now that Lexa was in her love her the picture showed it all.
"This is Alexandra's favorite place in the house." Gustus spoke up watching Clarke smile.
"She has a talent for detail." Clarke heard her mother speak up which caused her to be speechless for a minute.
Clarke looked over at Gustus now it was her turn to shrug her shoulders. Maybe this dinner wasn't going to be a disaster after all. Her mother had been investigating the room piece by piece as if she was trying to actually learn something about Lexa.
"Would you like to view the rest of the house now?" Gustus could tell Clarke wasn't sure what to say.
"Please." Clarke watched her mother follow Gustus out as she turned back around to the desk. She ran her hand across the charcoal painting she had drawn not to long after she accepted her father's death wasn't her fault. She hadn't seen the painting for years. Running her finger across her initials she planned on asking Lexa how she found it.
"Clarke are you coming?" Clarke turned around wiping her eyes a little to keep the tears from falling she caught up with Gustus and her mother.
Lexa stood a little uncomfortable in the same room as her father. He had made his way back to the window looking out over the back yard that stretched across to the lake house they also owned. Thinking about it now it was similar to the house she was building that no one knew of.
"Father." Lexa stood pouring another drink because her nerves were still getting the best of her.
"Yes Alexandra." Lexa turned hearing his voice slightly crack.
"Are you okay?" Lexa had never seen her father on edge before and he seemed to be struggling with something.
"I am fine, we are all here to get to know each other." Lexa still wasn't believing a word he said. Something wasn't right about the reason they were all here.
"You asked for this dinner to get to know Clarke's mother or Clarke herself." Lexa wanted to know why his attitude seemed to change towards the blonde.
"Both. If you are to continue to date Clarke then I feel it should be necessary I know who she is." Lexa rolled her eyes at how professional he was being regarding the situation.
"I don't plan on ever leaving Clarke's side father as long as she wants me." Lexa stepped up looking out the window with him.
"Do you love her?" Lexa was taken back by the question, she never once imagined him asking such a thing.
"Your house is lovely Mr. Voss." Lexa turned seeing Clarke and her mother walking back into the den with Gustus behind them.
"Gustus." Lexa's tone cheered up seeing the man.
Clarke watched Mr. Voss stiffen hearing Lexa's tone towards Gustus. Lexa loved the man and little did she know he was her father. She knew having two loving fathers in a life couldn't be hard she wished she still had hers. The lie that has lasted her whole is what was going to break Lexa down and she just hoped Lexa would understand why she didn't speak up sooner.
"I missed you." Clarke wrapped her arm around Lexa's waist to whisper in her ear.
"You were only gone for 30 minutes Clarke." Lexa smiled giving the blonde a quick kiss.
"It only takes seconds." Clarke laughed listening to herself.
"Gustus I am glad you could make it." Lexa was happy to have another familiar face around since it being just the four of them it was getting a little awkward.
"Ninja man would never miss this." Clarke winked at him hoping to lighten his demeanor.
"I see how it is, you are here for Clarke. My heart hurts knowing you are so fond of my girlfriend." Lexa tapped the man wondering why he seemed so stiff.
"See even he thinks I'm irresistible." Clarke bit her lip teasing Gustus.
"He blushes again. It's a miracle." Lexa laughed before noticing Clarke's mother was staring at them.
"I do no such thing." Gustus smiled at both girls.
"Miss Griffin it is a pleasure to actually get to meet you." Lexa stepped up knowing they had gotten off on the wrong foot.
"Same as you Alexandra." Lexa could hear the disapproval in the woman's voice still.
"I hope you enjoyed the tour of the house it has been passed down for several generations now." Lexa was trying her hardest to keep Clarke's mother in a conversation.
"It is beautiful. It was brought to my attention of your work in the library or maybe workshop you spend time in." Lexa bit her lip knowing there was evidence of her and Clarke in that room and a few things Clarke didn't even know she had.
"Yes I love architecture. Anything I can build and get my hands dirty with I prefer to be there then behind a desk." Lexa knew her father had to be listening but she didn't care.
"You have a great gift with detail Alexandra." Clarke smiled seeing her mom compliment Lexa.
"We will be right back." Clarke tugged on Lexa's hand headings towards the balcony. She wanted a second alone with her.
"What is so important for us to leave Clarke." Lexa was confused seeing her father and Clarke's mother engage in a conversation.
"This." Clarke pulled Lexa in crashing their lips together. She bit down hard on Lexa's lip hearing the girl groan as finally she felt Lexa's hands slid down her back to pick her up.
"What is this for?" Lexa had no problem kissing Clarke but the timing was a little of with them being at a dinner function with their parents.
"My art in your favorite room. How did you find that piece?" Clarke smiled looking into Lexa's eyes.
"I have my ways." Lexa bit her lip knowing she got caught.
"The picture from us in the parking lot?" Clarke was also curious.
"I have my ways." Lexa laughed this time seeing Clarke scrunch her face up in disapproval of her answer.
CRASH
Clarke jumped hearing something loud break inside the house along with a lot of yelling. She felt Lexa stiffen like she was also unsure of what just happened and both seemed to not move until they heard Clarke's mother screaming.
"What the hell is going on? Clarke pushed back through the doors seeing the large bottle of whiskey shattered across the floor.
"I do not approve of this relationship Clarke. You are forbidden to see her." Clarke was taken back for a second at her mother's demanding voice.
"You have no say so in my daughter's life." Lexa looked at her father who was yelling at Clarke's mother.
"Your daughter is a disgrace and Clarke will not be seen with her." Clarke's jaw dropped hearing her mother.
"Excuse me I am a grown adult I can take care of myself." Clarke spoke up raising her voice at her mother.
"What the hell just happened in here." Lexa spoke up this time looking at her father.
"He has had you under investigation Clarke." Clarke bit her lip hearing her mother scoff at her when she already knew this.
"I know I was informed today regarding it mother." Clarke stood tall not thinking of what she was saying.
"How were you informed?" Lexa looked at Clarke not sure exactly what she was saying.
"I can explain." Clarke turned seeing Finn walk through the doors.
"You let him in this house." Clarke heard her mother again trying to figure out how this was all related.
"Clarke I am assuming you know Finn." Lexa heard her father address Clarke.
"I do Mr. Voss. The next time you would like to know something about me I would prefer you ask rather than involving an ex of mine." Clarke stepped up making sure her point was known.
"After you took it upon yourself to speak up against my wishes regarding Alexandra. I sought out Finn to be the judge of your actions. Finn has agreed with me that you are not here to steal money from us." Clarke listened to Lexa's father.
"I can't believe you." Clarke heard her mother yell from across the room again throwing another glass.
"You brought that boy who destroyed my daughter's life back here into her life to ruin her again." Clarke once again looked between the two parents.
"You have no right to speak of who I brought into my daughter's life when you have done worse. Have you forgotten who you hired to be here." Lexa looked at Clarke's mother who seemed stunned like she was caught red handed.
"You wouldn't" Clarke's mother put a hand over her mouth.
"See Clarke this what we didn't finish earlier in our meeting. Once I was investigating you I took notice to a girl by the name of Echo who seemed to also be hanging around. Taking a look into her past I noticed she use to date Lexa so I approached her on the subject of me investigating you and it appears she was brought back here by your mother to break you too up." Gustus watched Finn smile like he was enjoying breaking down each and every one of them.
"What the fuck mother." Clarke turned ready to bitch her mother out when she was stopped.
"Oh that isn't even half of it Clarke. See your mother's little plan backfired when you stuck by Lexa's side which is when Lexa's father decided he needed to not intervene and let his daughter be happy but little did he know I looked into that as well and he doesn't seem to actually be Lexa's father." Clarke watched Gustus go stiff.
"Finn shut your damn mouth." Clarke stepped up shoving him just a little.
"What princess did you not tell your girlfriend about our meeting today. It was really nice seeing you and Gustus again." Clarke turned seeing Lexa stunned.
"Lexa listen to me. I can explain." Clarke watched Lexa shake her head like she just got punched.
"You met him without me Clarke? Why? Did you not trust me?" Lexa wasn't sure what to say she felt like she was getting hit with new information left and right.
"What is this about you not being my father?" Lexa looked at her father now confused.
"Alexandra do not listen to this ridiculous boy." Gustus spoke up trying to dissolve the problem.
"You paid Echo to destroy my relationship mom." Clarke was back at her mom thinking of every confrontation she had to deal with regarding Echo and the bitch was getting paid to do so.
"That girl is ruining your life Clarke. You need to be with a man with someone who can give you a life and you have already started throwing that way on your silly art." Lexa listening to Clarke's mother belittle her.
"You should have more respect for your daughter and her choices. She obviously takes after her father and not you." Lexa spoke up trying to defend Clarke even though she was still pissed and confused.
"Clarke's father died and this coming from a girl who doesn't even know her real father." Clarke stepped up slapping her mother.
"How dare you speak down about my father that way, also Lexa's father is an amazing man." Clarke was shocked by her own actions but even more shocked at Gustus catching her mother's arm who was in the midst of slapping her back.
"You will not lay your hands on her Miss Griffin." Gustus spoke up giving the woman a death stare.
"Father of the day and to the rescue Clarke. Looks like you and Lexa can share the same father figure." Clarke and Gustus turned to Finn who was clapping his hands.
"Why does he keep saying that." Lexa looked at Finn trying to figure everything out.
"Shut your mouth Finn." Clarke threatened him again.
"ENOUGH." Clarke jumped hearing Mr. Voss yell at all of them.
"Father." Clarke could hear Lexa's voice crack.
"Alexandra there are a few things we need to discuss." Lexa looked at her father not sure what to expect.
"Mr. Voss." Clarke stepped up looking at him shaking her head like in a silent plea to not tell her. It was something she knew Gustus wanted to break to Lexa not anyone else.
"Clarke what is it you know. You're not telling me something I can tell." Lexa grabbed Clarke's hand turning her around.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on my daughter." Clarke held her hand up to her mother non verbally telling her to shut up.
"Mother just stop she has done a lot more then just lay a hand on me trust me on that." Clarke grinded her teeth trying to grasp everything.
"Lexa I need you to listen to me." Clarke held her hand out grabbing Lexa's.
"Alexandra I am your father." Gustus spoke up not wanting Clarke to take the brunt end of the situation.
"Will the real father please stand up." Lexa looked up seeing Finn smirking in the background.
"I don't understand." Lexa pulled her hands from Clarke.
"Alexandra there's a lot we need to explain to you." Lexa looked at her father or who she knew as a father before she turned to Gustus who wasn't stoic anymore the emotions were written on his face.
"You are my father Gustus." Lexa turned to him almost begging him to say no.
"Yes Alexandra." Gustus refused to lie seeing the tears start to fall from the brunette's eyes.
"This family should be ashamed." Clarke turned to her mother glaring at her.
"Please leave you are no longer needed here." Clarke pointed to the door turning back to Lexa seeing the brunette cry was breaking her heart.
"I am not leaving unless you are coming with me. You are my daughter I have a right to be here." Clarke rolled her eyes hearing her mother but she refused to break eye contact with Lexa.
"Please tell me you didn't know about this." Lexa looked at Clarke who was staring at her.
"Lexa please give me a chance to explain." Clarke stepped forward and her heart broke seeing Lexa step back.
"Clarke please tell me you didn't know about this." Lexa raised her voice this time at the blonde.
"I asked her to not say anything to you Alexandra. This was something I was hoping to speak to you about in private." Gustus stepped up next to Clarke.
"You knew about this all day Clarke?" Lexa watched Clarke put her hands over her face before she faced her again.
"Yes I knew." Clarke finally spit it out.
"How the hell could you not tell me Clarke. We spent all afternoon together and you blatantly lied to my face about it. You also went to meet Finn without me and I asked you about that as well." Lexa all but screamed it at Clarke.
"I didn't know until the meeting with Finn about Gustus being your father. Finn dropped that bomb on me just as much as Gustus finding out someone knew." Clarke pleaded trying to reach for Lexa's hand but she jerked away again.
"Of all people Clarke and you know my history but yet you lied?" Lexa shook her head trying to wake herself up from a bad dream.
"Lexa it's not like that." Clarke didn't know what to say because it was like that she did lie to her girlfriend.
"I can't believe you. I can't believe all of you. Shockingly the only truthful person is the damn room is Finn." Lexa looked around and everyone who was now staring at her.
"Thank you that means so much to me." Clarke turned seeing Finn take a bow.
"Get the fuck out of here Finn." Clarke snapped ready to throw something at him.
"Ohhh see I am only here to collect my paycheck. This grand entrance of mine was unexpected" Lexa watched Finn step towards the father she grew up knowing who actually wasn't her real father as he handed him a check.
"All of this is true. This is unbelievable. I need out of here." Lexa was all but sobbing now thinking about how everyone in the room had been lying to her.
"Please Lexa let me explain." Clarke stepped up trying her hardest to get a hold of Lexa's hands.
"Don't you dare touch me." Lexa pushed past Clarke heading for the door.
"Lexa wait please." Clarke took off after her only to have her mother stop her.
"You should just let this be the end Clarke. It's time for you to grow up and move on from this girl crush." Clarke stopped.
"It's not a girl crush mother. I love her." Clarke shoved past her mother feeling Gustus right behind her.
"Alexandra please wait." Gustus yelled at the brunette when him and Clarke had reached the door Lexa was already slamming the door on her jeep.
"Gustus we have to go after her she shouldn't be driving like this." Clarke begged him.
"Come I have a car in the back." Clarke followed Gustus knowing they didn't have long to catch Lexa.
Lexa wiped her eyes as she took off from her families house. She was in shock she had just found out that her father wasn't her real father and that the man she grew up with, shared her secrets with and knew everything about her was her actual father but he had lied to her since she could remember. Clarke had even lied. They all had lied and if any of them knew anything about her lying was what she hated the most. Finn had been paid off by her father to first destroy her relationship and then to support it once he found out Clarke's mother was doing his job for him. Clarke's mother despised her and had planned on doing anything and everything to rip Clarke from her and right now her wish had come true but by Clarke's doing not Echo's. Making it back to the firm within record time she parked her jeep not knowing where to go she knew that everyone knew where her hiding places were especially Clarke. Getting out of her jeep she squatted down on the side of her jeep placing her head in lap crying. She was defeated and she had no one.
"Lexa?" Lexa jumped hearing someone address her.
"Please don't I can't right now." Lexa wiped her eyes again seeing a blurry Echo step up to her.
"Are you okay?" Lexa heard real concern behind the the girls voice.
"Echo don't put on the act that you are here for me. I found out Clarke's mother has been paying you to sabotage Clarke and mines relationship." Lexa stood up ready for a fight.
"You're right I am being paid by Clarke's mother but it's just money Lexa. Everything I do is for money. That doesn't mean I don't care about you and you know this." Lexa felt Echo step up grabbing her hand.
"Don't touch me." Lexa pulled away again. She didn't want anyone coddling her like she was a baby.
"Come on Lex let's get you at least changed." Echo wasn't sure what had just went down but she knew it had to be bad to see Lexa in this state which meant it was involving Clarke.
Lexa followed Echo into the elevator only to get off on the floor where her room was. If she knew anything she needed to be in quick paced because Gustus and Clarke would be looking for her. Stepping into her room she slid off her heels looking around for the quickest clothes she could slip on.
"Here let me help you." Echo stepped up unzipping Lexa's dress before stepping back away from her. Thinking it over there had to be a way to twist this to her advantage.
Lexa stripped off her dress not caring who was watching she dug through her clothes finding a pair of sweats to slip on. Walking back into her living room area she saw that Echo was still standing by the door.
"What are you still doing here?" Lexa snapped.
"I'm not going to leave you in this state Lex. I may be a bitch and a horrible person but I am not heartless or at least not when it comes to you." Lexa stopped judging the girls tone when she jumped hearing the door burst open.
"Lexa" Clarke was out of breath. She had dashed the stairs the second she seen Lexa's jeep in the parking lot. Feeling herself get bumped she knew it was Gustus stepped up behind her.
"GET OUT" Lexa yelled at Clarke and Gustus.
"No Lexa I need you to hear me out and then if you want me to leave I will." Clarke stepped into the room stopping in her tracks to see Echo standing to the right of her.
"Excuse me?" Clarke looked from Echo to Lexa and then back again.
"What?" Lexa stood her ground looking at Clarke.
"Can you please leave I need to have a serious discussion with my girlfriend." Clarke tried her hardest to be polite to Echo because she didn't want to fight. She was happy to see the girl shift as if she was walking towards the door.
"No she can stay." Lexa watched Clarke turn to her shocked but also seeing Echo smirk.
"Alexandra this is not the way you approach this." Gustus spoke up stepping into the room now.
"You both have no right to be standing in front of me right now let alone telling me how to live my life." Lexa yelled watched Gustus step back but Clarke didn't budge.
"Echo please tell me you have a car here?" Lexa turned to look at the girl who was obviously happy but still unsure of what to do.
"Yes." Echo stepped back with humor in her eyes because Clarke looked like she was going to punch her again.
"Please can you get me out of here." Lexa grabbed her hoodie throwing it over her head as she tried to shove past Clarke.
"I am not letting you leave with her." Clarke pushed herself in front of Lexa.
"Clarke I need you to get out of my way." Lexa tried her hardest to be emotionless but she felt herself gasp and start to cry again.
"No." Clarke felt the tears start to fall from her eyes feeling Lexa struggle with her.
"This is not how this ends Lexa. This is not the end of us." Clarke gripped the front of Lexa's hoodie forcing the brunette to look her in the eyes. They both were crying and Clarke felt like her whole world was falling apart.
"Clarke let go of me." Lexa felt like she couldn't breathe. The blonde was latched to her like she was her life support and it was making her break down even more.
"Please Lexa I'm begging you give me a chance." Clarke literally was begging for just a second to explain herself.
"Clarke please let me go. I need to be as far away from you as I can right now." Lexa heard the blonde gasp at her words before she felt Clarke's hands slip off her hoodie as she bent down to her knees.
"Echo." Lexa closed her eyes stepping past Clarke telling herself to keep walking and to not stop and wrap her arms around Clarke.
"It would be my pleasure." Echo reached out grabbing Lexa's hand walking out the door thinking about how Clarke just did her job for her now all she had to do was finish the rest.
"Alexandra." Gustus spoke to the brunette watching Clarke cry.
"You're fired." Lexa spit out walking past him before glancing over her shoulder seeing Clarke on the ground in a ball crying. It broke her heart even more but right now Clarke was the last person she wanted to see.
Gustus watched Lexa walk away with Echo and he physically wanted strangle Echo seeing the girl have a skip in her step at the fact that she just walked out with Lexa on her side. He wasn't sure how Lexa was able to deal with the fact that she was payed to destroy her and Clarke's relationship and yet Clarke was destroyed and Lexa seemed to walk off partially satisfied.
"Clarke." Gustus bent down trying to pick up the blonde who was like dead weight.
"She left." Clarke sobbed sitting up when she felt Gustus tug on her.
"She will be back Clarke." Gustus was praying his words were true.
"I lied to her and she left Gustus. How am I am even worthy of asking her to stay." Clarke stood not knowing how it was even possible.
"Clarke I asked you to keep something from her. This is not all your fault." Gustus sat Clarke down on the couch digging through her purse for her phone.
"I still lied Gustus. I looked her straight in the eye and lied and she's never going to forgive me for it." Clarke slammed her fist into the table.
"Don't do that. It will not make anything better." Gustus found Octavia's number in Clarke's phone and sent her a 911 text with the bar as the location.
"What are you doing?" Clarke seen Gustus doing something with her phone.
"I am getting your friends to come get you so I can handle Alexandra." Gustus looked up seeing Clarke had made her way quickly to the whiskey bottle.
"Clarke that is not how you handle this." Gustus watched Clarke pour a glass and knock it back.
"It's a very fine way of killing it temporarily." Clarke shook her head after knocking back the second glass.
"That is enough." Gustus stood to go after the blonde when she poured another and walked away from him.
"Looks like Echo got her way after all. Cheers to that." Clarke sipped the whiskey still in shock that Lexa had just walked out on her with Echo of all people.
"She is upset with us Clarke. She has a right to be." Gustus eyed Clarke waiting to see how hard the alcohol was going to hit her emotional state soon.
"I fucked up and the first thing Lexa does is run to another woman. I guess that reputation is intact." Clarke raised her glass as if she was sending cheers to someone.
"Clarke you both are taking this hard. Alexandra is an adult and a smart one she is not going to let Echo get to her." Gustus was once again praying Lexa didn't go that far with it.
"No point in stopping her now she just walked out with the future Mrs Voss." Clarke knocked back the rest of the whiskey before throwing the glass shattering it against the wall.
"WOW" Octavia threw open the door to Lexa's room with the glass shattering next to her head.
"What are you doing here?" Clarke pointed at her best friend in the room.
"I got an emergency text from you and this is soooo not what I was expecting." Octavia looked at Gustus wide eyed.
"I need you to please take care of her while I track down Alexandra." Gustus headed for the door seeing Octavia nod in confusion.
"Heyyy Griffin." Octavia wasn't sure what to say since she had no idea what had just happened plus they still weren't on perfect speaking terms.
"O she left." Clarke slumped back down on the couch.
"Who left, I'm here now talk to me." Octavia sat down next to Clarke pushing her hair back out of her face. She could tell her best friend had been crying hard. Her makeup was smeared and her face was red and puffy.
"Lexa left me." Clarke started to cry again.
"Uhhh what?" Octavia felt her blood start to boil just a little seeing her best friend hurt.
"I lied to her and she left me." Clarke scrunched up into a ball rocking herself.
"Why don't we get you changed and then you can tell me what happened." Octavia looked around the room seeing the long hallway that had to lead to a bedroom.
"That stupid bitch." Clarke stood up hearing her best friend following her as she headed for Lexa's bedroom.
"Clarke you're emotional and at least tipsy. I think we should refrain in calling Lexa names for now." Octavia was digging through Lexa's clothes listening to Clarke mumble under her breath.
"Here put these on." Octavia turned around to see Clarke laid out flat on the bed half naked.
"That bitch. I seen that shitty smirk on her face just let me get a hold of her. I swear to god O she's going to get it" Clarke said it again thinking about Lexa and Echo and god knows what they were doing.
"Clarke, Lexa is not a bitch." Octavia pulled her best friend up shoving a shirt over her head before wiping some of her makeup off her face.
"No Octavia, you don't understand. Lexa left with that bitch of all people. She left with Echo." Clarke snapped it out and even in her drunken state she watched Octavia's expression go from shocked to pissed.
"What the fuck" Octavia couldn't believe what she just heard.
A/N Emotional mess eh? I know this chapter was a mess but it was kind of meant that way due to everything that just got thrown at the couple. Clarke lied that isn't going over well and Lexa left with Echo which who knows where that is going to go. I hated writing Clarke as the person who lied about something but I felt there needed to be some change to prove a few points. So now are we going to make up or break up. Also where does or will Gustus stand now. Give me your thoughts. Please review and thank you again! xoxoxo
