Chapter 26: Complications

A/N: now even though the song IS a H.E.R song, it does kinda go with the vibe of the beginning of the chapter. So... start it if you feel like it😌
________________________________Octavia POV:
A Few Hours Earlier:

I was walking out of class after a really long day, only to be bumped into by some jock. Except... it wasn't a jock... he was smiling and rambling really cute apologies for bumping into me while picking up my books. I snapped myself out of it and and helped him. "Hi. Sorry again for bumping into you... I'm kinda new here... I've only ever been to a party that I snuck into with some of my friends... but I'm really sorry again for-" I cut his rambling off. "What's your name?" I asked him.  He stuttered before saying "Lincoln"... and then he went back to rambling.

"Listen I do really feel bad about..."
"Lincoln."
"And I really should've watched where I was..."
"Lincoln."
"I know! I know... it was terrible and I feel horrible but I was in a-"
"LINCOLN! It's okay!" I yelled, loud enough to get his attention while giggling. "Oh." He said, finally stopping his rambling. He was staring at me and I was staring back. It felt... different... nice. Then I remembered Raven. "Ummm... I'm gonna go... to class." I said. "Oh! Would you mind if I walked you? Consider it an apology?" He asked hopefully. I didn't know what I was doing at the time, but I just chuckled and hooked my arm around his as we started walking.
When I went to the cafeteria I saw Clarke. I said hi and went to go eat by her. Lincoln had just come in with the football team and they took up the rest of our table. They were really loud and making a mess... but Lincoln came over to us and apologized. "Hey... I thought you and Lincoln didn't have lunch together." I say while taking another bite of my pizza slice. "Oh! We usually don't put since Professor Bernstein is in the hospital and he finished his assignment, I guess he's here." Clarke said like it was common sense. A few minutes later, the football team ditched the cafeteria to go to some lunch spot after Lincoln apologized...again. "He's so sweet." I say, not realizing I actually said it out loud. "Huh?" Clarke said, still not paying attention. "Uhhhh...nothing... hey do you want to go out for lunch? I'll drive." I said with hopeful eyes, looking at Clarke. "Uhh yeah sure. Let's go." She said while grabbing her keys and standing up.
Once we got in the car I started the engine (and totally didn't follow Lincoln's car) and we started driving. Once we got there I made sure we steered clear of them and got us a table on the other side of the place. We both ate and before we left I excused myself to go to the bathroom. When I came out, Lincoln was leaning against the doorframe. "What are you doing in the girls bathroom?!" I exclaimed, walking towards the sink. "Why were you following me, Octavia?" Lincoln said while tilting his head a little to the left. "W-what are you talking about? Me...following you? Ha! As if... I just got bored of the cafeteria." I said holding my head up high. He just chuckled. "I know when somebody's following me Octavia. Especially when they follow my car after every turn I make." He said. He walked towards me, tilted my cheek towards him and kissed me. He walked out without another word and left me speechless.
Present:
"So that's what happened... Everything." I said, no even bothering to look Clarke in the eyes. "O-Octavia... Y-you realize what you just did right? Y-you cheated on Raven!" She yelled standing up. I stood up too. "I know! I know and I-i feel so, so horrible but... I-I don't know." I said looking down, ashamed. "Do you have feelings for him?" She asked, quietly. "I-I don't know." I said, still not looking up. "Well until you figure out you need to break up with her, Octavia." I just kept looking down because I knew she was right. I swallowed and nodded.

Clarke Griffin POV:
As I finished scolding Octavia I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.
Unknown number:
Hey, it's Lexa, just wanted to know if you're free rn. I wanna talk to you abt something.
Clarke:
Yeah I'm free rn. What did you want to talk about?
Lexa:
I'll tell you later. Just meet me outside your building in like 5 mins.
Clarke:
Okay

After I finished replying I put my phone away and looked back at Octavia. She was looking at me expectantly. "Who was that?" She asked. "Uhh just one of my friends. We're going out and they just texted me to make sure I was ready. They'll be here in about five minutes." I said Cooly not trying to give away any specific details. "Oh, okay. What friend?" She asked. Uhhhhh... Charlotte." I lied. She narrowed her eyes then shrugged, walking into her room. I sighed and headed towards the elevator.
Once I got out the building there were a few boys doing who knows what and it was then that I saw Lexa park her car. I raised an eyebrow at the vehicle. She texted me instructions to walk to my car and then walk to her car. I shrugged and followed her instructions. I got in the car and she smiled at me. "Thanks for coming." She said, while I put my seatbelt on. (safety first and all that😁) "Thanks for inviting me to...well wherever you're taking me." I said while she put the car in drive. She chuckled and said, "you'll find out soon enough." "Okay...and now I just feel like you're kidnapping me." I said. She laughed and then she kept driving.
We drove for about twenty minutes before she parked the car in the parking lot of what looked like a small coffee shop. Lexa got out and walked around the car to my door and opened it for me while holding out her hand. "Come on." Lexa said while jerking her head in the direction of the coffee shop. I smirked and said, "such a gentlewoman" before taking her hand and getting out the car. Once I got out she let go of my hand, (which I was extremely upset about) and we walked into the little coffee shop side by side.
She led me over to a table near the back and we both sat down. A nice lady came up as soon as we sat down and began talking to Lexa. "Alexandria deary, how've you been?" She asked in a shaky voice. "I've been god Nova, how about you?" She asked. They continued the sweet banter for another minute or so before she took our order and went into the back room. "I used to come here all the time with my father." Lexa said, looking down. "Lexa I know what it's like to grieve a parent. I know how you feel." I said, putting my hand on top of hers for comfort. She quickly pulled in back and cleared her throat. My eyes widened and I retracted my hand. That's how the rest of the time at the coffee shop went. It was awkwardly quiet for the rest of our stay and we both just ate.
"Clarke I didn't just bring you out here to talk about my father..." she trailed off. "Lexa...what's wrong?" I said raising an eyebrow. "I-I don't know if it's my place to say but..." she trailed off again.

"I saw Luna and Raven kissing."
