Better Than Him

Chapter XLV

For the first time in a few days, they would be having breakfast together. Clarke was very nervous to see Finn. She didn't know what he would do. He was gonna be pissed no doubt but she didn't know how pissed. Like angry or just upset. But there was only one way to find out.

Lexa's hand was resting on her back as they walked. When they arrived, they stood outside of the door for a moment. Lexa gave her a pep talk and before they walked in.

Everyone was already there. The tension in the room was very high. No one was talking or even looking at each other.

Finn saw them enter and he stomped his way over. He was clearly trying to get to Clarke. Lexa put herself between Clarke and Finn. "Finn, sit down." Lexa told him. Finn went to push past her but Lexa grabbed him.

"I just wanna talk." Finn said, swatting her hands away. Jake and Raven stood up ready to split up whatever was gonna happen.

"Well, I don't wanna talk to you, Finn. Atleast, not right now." Clarke said, firmly.

Finn didn't seem to care what Clarke had to say. "We should talk outside." Finn told Clarke.

"Finn, would you please sit." Becca told him.

Clarke went to go around Finn and Lexa but Finn went to follow her. But he ended up tripping over Lexa's foot and Lexa didn't even mean to trip him. Raven let out a witch cackle.

Finn scrambled up. "I'll embarass you like I did in Polis." Finn spat, threatening to fight her. Lexa put her hand on Clarke's back as they quickly went to the table away from Finn.

Finn looked like he could kill someone. He sat back down at the table. Now that the ice was broken by Finn, they started to talk. Titus and Finn were silent though. They just looked at them with hatred in their eyes. But once the food was brought out, they got talkative.

Finn was sharing his opinions very loudly and Titus backed him up. Clarke just ignored them because they were just trying to gaslight them all. Clarke, Lexa and Raven just talked quietly as the adults tried to calm the situation down. But even the adults gave up and they had to listen to Finn and Titus's rant about life being unfair and what not. The food was the only good thing about this breakfast.

Usually, Clarke would stay for a bit after she was done eating but today she just had to leave. She didn't want to admit it but Finn's words were getting to her. Not to the point where it was affecting her but if she heard anymore, it would. Raven and Lexa came with her.

Just as the air was cleared, Finn popped out of thin air. He was very determined, she'd give him that. "Why did you choose her?" Finn said, very angierly.

Lexa made sure there was space between Clarke and Finn. "Because for one, you act like a child most of the time and you are a dick." Clarke said, calmly. "Is that what you wanted to hear? I'd be willing to talk to you if you weren't out of control."

Finn went to approach Clarke but Lexa stopped him. "Get out of my way." Finn snapped.

"No, because I don't know what you'll do." Lexa told him. Not surprisingly, Finn went to punch Lexa but Lexa easily moved out of the way. "Finn, this is why I won't move." Finn swung again but missed yet again. "Are you drunk or something?"

Lexa pushed Finn away and onto the floor. "This is not over!" Finn yelled as the three girls walked away.

"Why does he act like this?" Raven asked, waving at Finn.

"Because he's a fucking idiot." Lexa mumbled.

Clarke was in her room, packing with the help of Lexa. It was just a lot of clothes and belongings to pack. It would've taken a lot longer if she was just doing it herself. Lexa was speeding the process along.

Lexa was working on getting her clothes into her bag while Clarke was working on her jewerly. She wanted to make sure nothing got tangled during the travels because it'd be a nightmare if they did.

Suddenly, Lexa slammed her drawer shut. "What?" Clarke asked, getting up from her bed. "Is there a bug?" Lexa's eyes were wide. "What?" Clarke opened the drawer that Lexa opened and saw it was her bras and panties. "You've seen me naked, Lex." Clarek said, trying not to laugh at Lexa's slight embarrassment.

Lexa's ears were turning pink. "I know but I feel like it's disrespectful."

Clarke kissed Lexa. "Well, I give you permission to look in that drawer." Clarke told her. "Or I can do it." Lexa nodded. "You are adorable."

After that was solved, they went back to packing. They took a lot of breaks. Those breaks were also called makeout sessions. The breaks were very productive.

Clarke was sitting in Lexa's lap as Lexa was working on her neck. She was definitely going to have a few marks on her neck. She didn't care though. Secretly, Clarke wanted Lexa to leave hickies and marks on her.

"I love you so much." Lexa pulled away from her neck and Clarke grabbed her face, pulling her to her lips. "I love everything about you." Lexa said between kisses. "You are so beautiful."

Clarke smiled as Lexa took her lip between her teeth, pulling softly. Lexa flipped them over so Clarke was laying on the bed. Clarke laughed as they nearly fell off the bed. "Very smooth, Lex." Clarke giggled.

"Be quiet." Lexa said, dropping her head on her shoulder. "It would have been smooth but I got lost in your eyes."

"Alexandria, that was horrible." Clarke said, trying to keep a straight face. Lexa found herself quite funny and fell back onto the bed laughing. "I'd rather hear more wet jokes than that ever again."

Lexa propped her head up. "You wanna go take a bath so I can make you wet?"

"Alexandria!" Clarke threw a pillow at Lexa as she laughed. "You are so weird."

"You love it."

"I do love it but I'm not sure why." Lexa threw the pillow back at her. "We need to finish packing and then we need to go pack your stuff." Lexa kissed her head and rolled off the bed.

Packing went fast as they stopped having breaks. Clarke didn't have too many things to pack but she had a lot of clothes. She evetnally got sick of it and just shoved all of it in her bags, messily. Lexa was still trying to be organized.

She came across the necklace Finn gave her. She didn't know what to do with it so she just put it on her dresser. She probably would end up giving it back to him. It only felt right.

***

After a lot of interal debating, she decided she needed to give Finn the necklace back. Lexa insisted that she came along to make sure things didn't go bad but she had to do this on her own. She was a little nervous but it was gonna be quick. She was gonna drop it off, say a few things and then leave. Pretty easy and straightforward.

Expect that Clarke couldn't bring herself to knock on his door. She stood outside his door with her fist in the air and necklace in hand. The longer she stood there, the more nervous she got.

She closed her eyes and took a long and deep breath, before knocking on the door. She prayed Finn wasn't in his room so she could leave it on his door handle and then she wouldn't have to see him. But her prayers were not answered because the door opened.

He looked at her with anger. "What?" Finn snapped.

Clarke held out the necklace. "I wanted to return that to you." Clarke said. Finn grabbed it from out of her hand. "I get that you're angry, you have every right to be but I'd like to kind of repair a friendship. I will not be hurt if you don't want one but I'd like to offer my friendship."

"You are a slut." Finn said and then slammed the door shut.

"Okay then..." Clarke said, not knowing how to answer that.
