It will be me before it's you (And that's okay)

Chapter 8

"I will have you know Miss Woods that I have officially finished every Marvel film" Clarke announced

"Oh have you now?" Lexa lifted an eyebrow

"Yes! Every one"

"Who's your favourite avenger?" Lexa quizzed

"The black widow."

"Decent" she hummed "did you watch the Antman and wasp film?"

"The what?" Clarke froze

"It's not relevant anyway" Lexa said

It was common that interactions between Lexa and Clarke would be short but sweet. They would converse and it would come to an abrupt stop, almost like Lexa would hit the brakes and that would be the end of it. Clarke didn't mind as much as she thought she did though. She was at least happy she was getting somewhere with her.

"I'm just going to go make your bed okay? Just shout if you need me" Clarke announced, having no response from Lexa.

She took the clean clothes from the dryer and carried them upstairs, placing them in a pile on the messy bed to fold. One by one, she neatly and decoratively placed the expensive fabric in the set of drawers beside Lexa's bed. She then made the bed, tucking the corners and making sure the bed sheets weren't creased. Although Lexa wouldn't even notice, Clarke's hated the bedsheet being loose in her bed. It oddly frustrated her.

After fluffing the pillows to their maximum potential, Clarke took a step back at the room. She gave herself a nod of approval and turned to head back down to Lexa. She paused.

The same laptop was sat on top of the desk next to the bathroom door, in the same place it had always been, taunting her in the same way it always did. Her fingers twitched to see what it contained. She took another step away and towards the ramp.

Groaning, she spun on her heels and swooped up the laptop in her hands, sitting on the bed and opening it. The bright screen almost blinded her as it demanded for a password

"Oh" She mumbled, and pulled her head back to think.

She tried many passwords, thinking even as far as to the most played song on Lexa's stereo. She tried Costia's name. Lexa's full name. Nothing. Sighing, she typed in

"Passwords suck"

The screen shifted and suddenly, she was staring at Lexa's desk top "You have to be kidding me" she whispered, grinning at the stupidity in it.

Clarke opened the files, and found a folder that read 'Vacation 2016'. She clicked.

"I don't even know how to work this camera" A smooth voice said from behind the lens

"Look you literally just... you're filming right now" Lexa laughed "alright who's going first"

"Definitely not me" Anya said with a pointed look, arms crossed.

There were quite the number of people there, perhaps 3 or 4, dressed in swim suits. Lexa stood at the cliffs edge, and looked at the camera with the expanse of the ocean behind her. She was standing then, her long legs lifting her ever so slightly taller than her sister. Her smile was wide, and her green eyes glowed against the blue water behind her.

"Alright. Clearly you guys are just a bunch of pussies"

With that, she jumped off the cliff with a backwards summersault and into the water.
