Unexpected Love

Chapter 16

Lexa POV

    They ended up burying Owen in the woods. Lexa was basically better from her sickness. It was also the last day of the two weeks and still no sign of Koda. Lexa and Clarke were sitting by the fire.

    "You want to try fish?" Clarke asked as Lexa ate nuts and berries. "You don't have to if you don't want to." Clarke added.

    "I'll try tomorrow." Lexa said. "I don't feel like throwing up today." Lexa put a few nuts in her mouth, flicking her eyes to Clarke's lips.

    "I think you'll be fine." Clarke said. "Just eat a little of the fish and then nuts and berries." Clarke told her.

    Lexa was breaking sticks and throwing them into the fire. "You were sleep talking again." Clarke asked.

    "I don't want to know." Lexa sighed.

    "I think it's cute." Clarke said. "It's more like sleep mumbling." Clarke laughed as Lexa sighed. "I don't understand it most of the time though. I caught some words."

    "You fall asleep before me, how do you hear me?" Lexa asked.

    "Unlike you, I wake up in the middle of the nights a lot." Clarke said. "You sleep like a rock."

    A few minutes later, Clarke went into the woods to go to the bathroom. Lexa moved hair out of her face.

About two minutes later, Lexa heard a female scream. Lexa got up and started to sprint to the area where she heard the scream. "Clarke!" Lexa called, running. Lexa ran until she saw Clarke on the ground.

Lexa slid down next to Clarke. Lexa looked up and down Clarke and her eyes landed on Clarke's lower left leg. Her pant leg was ripped up and bloody. "Bear trap." Clarke said in pain. Lexa took off her shirt and wrapped it around Clarke's leg. Clarke groaned.

Lexa picked up Clarke and Clarke groaned. Lexa started to walk to the camp quickly. "You are gonna have to tell me what to do." Lexa told Clarke. Clarke had her face in a tight expersession.

A few moments later, they got to the camp. Lexa put Clarke on the bed. Clarke had her eyes closed. "Clarke, stay with me." Lexa said. "Talk to me." Lexa said, trying not to panic.

"Clean it and pressure." Clarke said in a weak voice. Lexa ran out and found their filtered water. Lexa got a clean cloth and went back to Clarke.

"Tell me about Raven." Lexa said, trying to get Clarke to stay awake.

Lexa cut away Clarke's pants above her knee. "Loud." Clarke said. "Annoys the shit out of me but I love her." Clarke said, quietly. Lexa saw Clarke's leg. It had three big cuts. Lexa put pressure on the other two and started to clean the other one.

Clarke told her about Raven as Lexa worked quickly. "Lexa I'm losing too much blood." Clarke said, weakly. Lexa looked and didn't see much blood.

"You're okay." Lexa said. "Just relax and tell me about what you are gonna do when we get off this island."

Lexa finished cleaning the second cut. "Break up with Finn, never eat fish again, take a shower, eat a real meal, take you on a date, sleep in my bed, get another phone to check my instagram, get a haircut. I could go on forever." Clarke rambled.

"Keep going." Lexa said, cleaning the cuts.

Clarke kept talking to her as Lexa cleaned the rest of them. Lexa finished. "Clarke, wants next?" Lexa asked, heart racing.

"Stop the bleeding." Clarke mumbled. Lexa ripped clean cloth to wrap Clarke's cut. Lexa asked what happened. "I stepped on a bear trap and I moved quick enough that it only cut me and didn't catch me. It didn't look rusty."

"That's good." Lexa said, wrapping another layer of cloth. "You are going to be okay." Lexa told Clarke. "The cuts did not look too deep."

"It just hurts like a bitch." Clarke groaned.

"I'm gonna wash my hands and get you water." Lexa said. Clarke nodded and Lexa got up. Lexa washed her hands off in the ocean and then got Clarke water. Lexa walked back to Clarke.

Lexa sat down on the bed, next to Clarke. Lexa helped Clarke to a sitting position. Lexa handed Clarke the water and Clarke drank it. "It's my turn to take care of you." Lexa said, moving hair out of Clarke's face.

"I almost didn't get my kiss tomorrow." Clarke said.

"You didn't trust my doctor skills?" Lexa teased, helping Clarke lay down again.

"No." Clarke said, with her eyes closed. Lexa gasped. "I'm just kidding. I trust you and your doctor skills." Clarke said to her. "Unless I get an infection, then I'll have a different opinion."

"That's fair." Lexa said, with a smile. "But you won't get an infection because my doctor skills are amazing, Clarkey."

"No! We are not doing that name, I've had that since like first grade." Clarke groaned.

"Sorry, Clarkey." Lexa said as Clarke groaned. "You call me Lex so I call you Clarkey." Lexa secretly liked when Clarke called her Lex.

"I know you like it when I call you Lex." Clarke said. "You get all happy when I say Lex." Clarke was smiling.

"Go to take a nap." Lexa said.

"Yes ma'am." Clarke said. "But you are cuddling with me." Lexa laid down and cuddled into Clarke, careful of Clarke's injured leg.

Clarke wrapped her arms around her and kissed the top of her head. Lexa closed her eyes and smiled.
