REALLY IMPORTANT CHAPTER!!!please only read this if you have time because it is kinda long and is a big part of the story!! A/N:Hoping you know the drill by now! Or else I may just have too 🥷🥷🥷🤺🤺🤺.Play the song when the chapter says so! (pwease🥺) ________________________________ Clarke Griffin POV: After the whole attack I was... shaken up (to say the least.) Lexa had left a few minutes ago to do damage control on the whole situation. HQ was really loud and busy so Lexa suggested I stay in her room while she addressed her people.
After a few seconds, I hear the announcement calling me down to the main area. I shakily get up and make my way to the elevator. By now the bodies were cleared up but the halls still reeked of death. I just held my nose as I walked, trying not to think about what terrible things happened earlier. Once I get to the main area, I see Lexa talking to somebody. I silently (and kind of awkwardly) waited while she finished her conversation. Once she was finished, I walked up to her and mumbled a "hi". She just smiled and said "hello".
Lexa Woods POV: As soon as Clarke comes up to me, I smile. It's been kind of like a reflex every time I see her. After we greeted each other. I asked her to follow me to my car. Once we were inside, the car ride was silent. Tense. I didn't like it. I turned on the radio to try and distract us while I continued driving to the one place I promised myself I would never go back to.
It's about another ten minutes before we arrive at the house. I take a good minute to just stare at it while I pulled into the huge driveway. I took a deep (yet shaky) breath as I slowly got out the car. Clarke follows me as I walk up to my old childhood home.
Lexa's Home:

"This house has a lot of memories for me Clarke." I say as we walk through the entry. "Good or bad?" Clarke asked, following close behind. "Both...the painful...the beautiful...and everything in between." I say while turning the lights on. "That's great...and I'm sure it's a wonderful home but this really doesn't explai-" I cut her off. "Patience Clarke." She just huffs and continues walking through the house with me. Once we arrive towards the back of the house, I open the door for Clarke and we walk towards the garden in my backyard. There was a swing in front of it that my dad bought a long time ago. "Her favorite spot was on this swing." I said, talking a seat. Clarke tentatively sat down beside me. "Who?" Clarke asked. "Costia. Costia White." I took a deep breath before speaking again.
"She was the first person I ever loved. I-i loved her before I even knew what love was. W-we grew up together, played together, ate together, everything. We were inseparable. When I had to start my training, w-we grew apart a little. Sure we still saw each other but... it wasn't the same." I took a deep breath again. "After my dad got word about the Azgeda problem and he killed Nia's mother... Well let's just say that Nia wasn't very happy. My dad didn't know what sick information Nia's mother had passed onto her, so for my safety, my dad kept me in the house until the threat was dealt with." I took another deep breath. This part was going to be the hardest to tell, but Clarke's gentle hand in mine gave me the courage to keep going. "I remember the day like it was yesterday. Me and Costia were outside by the garden, talking. The alarms for the house had went off and then the shots started." Flashback: "The shots started and suddenly everything went black. I heard very faint yelling before my hearing gave out. When I came too, I was tied up in front of the back door. I saw Costia tied up in a chair a few feet away from me with a woman hovering over her. "Hey! Hey stop what you're doing!" I wanted to yell. But all it came out as was a bunch of gibberish. "Well look who's awake! You've been out for a few hours Lexie." The woman informed while walking over to me. I tried to ask what she wanted, but it all came out as gibberish again. "Awww are we having trouble speaking? Yeah.. that's the tranquilizer dart I injected while you were out. Packs quite a punch doesn't it?" She said leaning over me. I just stared back at her with stormy green eyes. "Well believe it or not. I'm not here to hurt you. That would be too easy for you. I want to enjoy this." She said, waving a very sharp needle in my face. "My father will kill you for this." I managed to groan out through the pain and numbness. "Oh! Your father! Yeah he's dead. Poor thing was practically paralyzed when Ramerez killed him." She said giggling. The second she finished that sentence... it felt like my whole world fell apart. "Well anyways, now that that's over with, I have to get in your girlfriends silly little head. So if you'll excuse me..." She said, turning her back on me and walking back over to Costia. "Don't touch her! Please." I said, voice sounding beyond broken. Nia just laughed in my face. "I'm going to kill your girlfriend after I poke and prod to get what I need. So! Don't hold out hope that she's making it out alive mmkay." She said, putting tape on my face. I tried to bite her but she just punched me, knocking me out, and then taped my mouth shut. End of Flashback: (still Lexa's POV) START SONG HERE:^^^^^^^^^ "I watched her get beaten. I watched them torture her. There was nothing I could do but watch. It felt like I lost everything that day." I took a deep breathe finally allowing the tears to stream down my cheeks. "Lexa... I'm- I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Nobody should have to." Clarke said, pulling me into a very awkward side hug. "Di-did she make it?" Clarke asked as I put my head in the crook of her neck. I took a deep breath for what felt like the millionth time tonight. "When I was conscious again I woke up in a hospital. When I asked what had happened. They reminded me of everything. After they killed my dad at headquarters the came to our house. By the time the reinforcements came and ran Azgeda out of the property, Costia was already dying. They were able to get her stable enough to be transported to a mental hospital where they would be able to reverse the damage Azgeda did. They were never able to. Whatever left her scarred and the damage was proved irreversible." I said. "I've decided to name HQ "polis" to honor her and those I've lost." I said to Clarke.
Clarke Griffin POV: After all the information Lexa told me, I was shaken... to say the least. I felt bad for her. She had to go through things that nobody should ever have to go through. She was by far the strongest person I've ever come in contact with. But I was still confused about one thing. "Lexa... why did you kill that girl instead of just restraining her? There were a ton of other things you could've done." I said, picking her head up from the crook of my neck. "I couldn't bear the thought of losing another person I lo-like to those monsters.... but that's not the answer you were looking for. You think our ways are harsh. That's how we survive." She said with finality in her tone, her gaze on the ground. "Yeah, well...maybe life should be about more than just surviving. Don't we deserved better than that?" I asked, fixing my gaze on the grass below us. "Maybe we do." I heard her whisper before she lifted my face in her hands and pressed her lips to mine and kissed me. It was the best night I'd had in awhile. ________________________________ IMPORTANT A/N: Heyyyy I posted. Annndddd Clexa!!! Ok so... I won't be able to post until at least Sunday.
