Clarke's POV

Lexa takes me into her arms and hugs me tight. I strangely feel safe and warm, forgetting the horror of what had happened tonight with my mum.

We both walk into Lexa's house. It's small but homely, it has a warm atmosphere to it. You can almost hear the laughs bounce of the wall.

The decor inside is very modern but classics at the same time. Hard would floors with one colour walls.

I follow Lexa  down the hall way and into the kitchen, she switches the light on as we walk in. As The light flickers on I see that the kitchen is quite large and has all the necessities. It also has a dinning table at the far end near the back door.

As I turn to see Lexa she's holding a pot of hot chocolate mix with a warm smile on her face.

"With milk or water?" I get asked.

"Milk, who uses water with their hot chocolate? That's just weird!" I chuckle back.

"I suppose I'm pretty weird." Lexa says winking.

"Wait you use water?" I frown. Lexa nods and turns around to make the cups of hot drinks.

She leans up against the kitchen side as she reaches up to the cupboard above her. I see her trying to reach for a box of small marshmallows.

"Aghh." I hear her wince as she turns around.

I notice her hold her fore arm, there's a small burn just appearing.

I take Lexa's arm and look at it. "It's a surface burn, just run it under the cold tap for 30 seconds then pat it dry." I say letting go of her arm and turning the sinks cold tap on.

Lexa stares at me, question in her expression. "My mum owns her own private health care. I used to help out." I explain.

I take Lexa's arm and place it under the tap. Her face not displaying any discomfort as I do so.

After almost a minute I take her arm from under neath the water and check it. I then pat it try with my hand.

"All good" I smile.

Lexa looks at me signs something at me. She takes her hand, palm down and pulls it from her chin and down in a 90 degree angle.

"What does that mean?" I ask curiously, still looking in her eyes.

"Thank you. " is all Lexa says.

After making the drinks Lexa takes me upstairs and shows me the rooms.

She points to the two doors on the left.
"That's my parents room and the cupboard" she says. "And this is the bathroom" she continues and point to a room that is on the back wall.

"And this" she says as she opens the door "is my room."

As I walk in I turn around in a 360 circle. I notice that her walls are a slight pastel pink/cream colour. There's also wall paper on one wall that is a grey metallic colour and has a pattern that looks like a book case.

On this wall there is a slightly larger than normal single bed with plain white sheets. Stood next to the bed there is a small set of draws with a lamp and some books.
