Chapter 3 – break it on a beach

Clarke was sat in the studio for the first time in 6 months. she had been sat here trying to find a way to write new songs. She didn't even know where to start. She had a broken heart and didn't know how to keep up with all the happy songs she had done in the pass.

The last 6 months she had spent most of it drunk, she had to block out the feelings. She started thinking back to what happened.

It was the end of the summer, Clarke had been really excited, she had just come from seeing Lexa's mum, Indra, she has asked her if she would be happy with Clarke proposing to Lexa. Indra was very happy for Clarke to be her daughter in law. She was going to do it at the end of the summer in 4 weeks' time.

In the meantime, Lexa seemed to be distant, she was working out a lot going on run always in the gym. Clarke thought Lexa was hiding something from her.

The next 4 weeks past quickly. Today was the day Clarke planned on proposing to Lexa. She sent her girlfriend a text.

CG: meet me at the beech our spot, love you xx

LW: okay see you soon, I have something I need to tell you, love you xx

30 minutes later Clarke turned up to their spot on the beach. Lexa already there, she seems stressed she was pacing back and forth as her hand rubbed the back of her neck.

Lexa turned to see Clarke stood there in a little green summer dress her hair curled and simple light makeup. Lexa was in her light blue shorts and white short sleeve shirt with the top 3 buttons undone.

"You okay" asked Clarke her voice laced with concern as she walked up and placed a kiss on Lexa's cheek.

"Clarke, I need to say something and I need you to listen till I'm finished as this is important"

Clarke just nodded. Lexa looked as though she was going to throw up, she took a deep breath, looking down at her fidgeting hands. "Can we walk while we talk, I need to be moving" again Clarke just nodded.

Lexa took one last deep breath before walking next to Clarke. "so, I've…"

Clarke sat with tears rolling down her cheeks in disbelief from what she heard from Lexa, she felt her heart breaking. "Why didn't you tell me, when did you decide to do this"

"I'm telling you now…"

"Only cos your leaving Lexa, you're only telling me cos you have to"

Clarke was angry how could Lexa do this to her, especially when she knew about Clarkes dad Jake, how he died.

"This is what I want Clarke, please I don't want to do this without you"

I can't Lexa, I'm sorry I can't. You're joining the fucking Army; you could die just like my dad did. How could you put me through that"

Lexa was crying she knew this would be difficult for the blonde girl but she never thought she would be this angry. They had never talked about what Lexa was going to do after high school, but now she was 18 and she could do what she always dreamed of, she never knew how to tell Clarke her dream to join the Army as her dad had be killed during a tour, and Clarke always said how much it hurt her.

Lexa tried to comfort Clarke; she tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. "I love you Clarke, this has always been my dream I need to do this, I'm sorry."

"Lex please don't do this, I can't watch you lose yourself, I don't want you to die, I can't lose you"

"I'm sorry Clarke, I leave in 48 hours. I have to"

Clarke sat thinking for a minute trying to process what this meant for them. Then the realisation hit her.

"Your leaving me, your breaking up with me"

Lexa felt her heart break as she realised Clarke was right, "I'm sorry maybe we can be friends I have to let you go. I hope you find some new. I will always love you."

With that Lexa got up and walked away leaving Clarke with a broken heart all while breaking her own. That was the last time Clarke saw Lexa as she watched her walk down the beech and out her life.

Present day

Clarke started tapping as she tried to calm herself down, she didn't want to cry anymore she was done being sad. Now she was just angry.

"why did you have to break it on a beech" she screamed to now one just to get it off her chest.

She decided to go into the booth and see what came out.

3 months later (Lexa)

Lexa was sat in her bunk, she had completed her basic training top of her class, even earned her self the nickname commander, since she had walked away from Clarke thinking breaking her heart was easier then her potentially having to lose her in the same way as her dad.

Maddie, one of the girls in Lexa's unit and her bunk mate walked in the room happy as always, she was younger than Lexa but the girls where quickly becoming best friends.

"Commander, glad to see your up, ohh have you listened to that new song that just came out, its to good"

"No, mads, ive not you know I don't listen to music"

"You have to listen to this" Maddie switched on the tv in there room to the interview before the song

"so Clarke what is this song about, Break it on a beech"

"its quite simple, I got my heart broken 9 months ago, I couldn't so anything for 6 months I just drank, my best friends Raven and Octavia dragged me to the studio and said enough was enough and this was the result"

"wow that's hard, why don't you go get set up, in a minute for the first time live, Clarke Griffin, break it on a beach"

Lexa went stiff as soon as she herd Clarke's name, then hearing her voice, it was so raw, she looked like she hadn't slept. Lexa felt a lump in her throat, she quickly fixed her mask, no one can know that the hardcore commander has feelings.

Just then she heard music start to play, no matter how much she wanted to look away she couldn't.

"I hope you all like the song, this is Break it on a beach"

"It was lookin' like a good day
Eighty-seven and a clear, blue sky
We were strollin' down 30A
Koozy wrapped around a Bud Light Lime
We were walkin', you started talkin'
Sayin' I ain't in your long-term plans
I knew we were on the rocks, but baby, I never thought
You would bury me in the sand

Why'd you have to
Break it on a beach, drop me like a bobber?
Now, every time I see white sand, blue water
I'm sittin' there, missin' your body
When I oughta be gettin' on my party
Now, I can't drink piña coladas
That's what I always got us
I just wish you'da done it somewhere I don't love to be
If you had to break my heart
Baby, why'd you have to break it on a beach?

Girl, I wish your mama taught you
When and where to go to say goodbye
Coulda took me to the city
Maybe up on a mountain where it's cold as ice
But you did it where people visit
When they need a piece of paradise
This has been my place since Spring Break '08
Nah, baby, it just ain't right

Baby, why'd you have to
Break it on a beach, right here in the sand?
Sun up in the sky, cold one in my hand
I know it's crazy, woah
Thought it was a vacation, but no

Why'd you have to break it on a beach?
White sand, a cold beer in my hand"

Maddie looked over at Lexa who hadn't said a word in the last 5 minutes, she sat there and looked like she had seen a ghost

"what fucking idiot would break her heart"

"we need to be up early lets get some sleep, we leave in two weeks"

Lexa tried to sleep but couldn't, she decided to message Anya.

AW: why am I a massive idiot, she hates me, she wote a song about how I broke up with her. She will never forgive me. Also just thought Id let you know I ship out in two weeks. Hope to hear from you soon. Love you sis.

With that Lexa feel asleep to the sound of her heart breaking all over again.
