"I just.. I can't do this anymore, Raven." She was sobbing, staring up at me as she clutched the necklace I gave her in her hands. "Why? What changed? Yesterday.. We were so happy.." I felt myself start to break. I was in love with her. I still am. I'm hurting her, but I have to convince myself it's to protect her. "I'm sorry." I leaned down to her and captured her lips in a final kiss, feeling the tears running down my face as well, "I.. I love you." I turned and walked out the door, running back to my own room and shoving all of the pictures of Raven and I together in my pocket. I heard the door slam open, "(Y/F/N)(Y/L/N), you are under arrest." The guard shoved me to the ground and put handcuffs on me before leading me down to the lock up wing. As we were walking down the hallway Raven was waiting outside her door. We made eye contact and I looked down, ashamed. I thought it would feel better, like a weight off my shoulders, to leave her before she had to see this. I fooled myself though, because I never ever wanted to leave her. She had my heart and soul and I gave her my necklace because of it. The raven necklace she wore was one I had crafted for myself at a young age. I had always worn it and when our one year anniversary arrived, I gave it to Raven. I gave it to her so she would always have me with her, my love, even when we weren't together. I thought keeping her in the dark would be best, but now I can see it wasn't, and I just lost the only girl I have ever loved.

Months later, here I am on Earth, still missing her with all of my heart. The first rain began to fall from the sky and I sat on the ramp of the dropship, watching everyone else enjoy it. I couldn't though, not when the rain reminded me of the hurricane continuing to engulf me in the sea of emotion. I stood up in the pouring rain and stuck my hands into my pocket, feeling the photos rub against my fingers. I pulled them out and stared at them, the memories beginning to rise. These photographs are all it takes to let the memories slip through the cracks in my mind. I felt the tears start coming before I was sobbing uncontrollably. Clarke Griffin walked me into the dropship and sat me down on a makeshift hospital bed before sitting criss cross across from me. "Talk to me.." "It's funny how it all comes back when I'm trying to forget it.." I wiped my eyes with my jacket sleeves and looked down at the photos in my lap. She whispered, "I'm here for you.." I stared into her eyes and handed her the pictures. "Raven.. Raven Reyes was my girlfriend.. I knew when I was going to get locked up.. I knew how it would break her to watch my destruction.. So, I broke up with her the day of my arrest. I.. I thought it was best, but I didn't want to. I love her.." I started to sob again and Clarke only pulled me closer, rubbing my back as I held onto her for dear life. That night Clarke became my best friend and my other half. We hung out constantly. I had a lot of friends in the camp but no matter what Clarke was my best friend. They all knew about Raven and they all knew.. Everybody knew I didn't want it to end with her. I tried to brush it off most of the time, but they told me I might have the chance to make it right one day. I tried to sleep, but every night I would close my eyes and see her. I've learned that closing your eyes doesn't really mean you're asleep. All I wanted was her to be there so we could talk all night before falling asleep in each other's arms like we usually did. My parents had both been floated before Raven and I met and her parents had become okay with her staying with me at night so I wouldn't be alone. I got so used to having her next to me that I hated and couldn't sleep alone for shit. Tonight though, something seemed.. Off. "Clarke's gone.." Bellamy said as he walked by my tent, staring at me apologetically. I shook my head, "No. I'll either find her or die trying." I growled. I got dressed and left the camp in search of my best friend. It had been a couple days, but I heard voices in a clearing and made my way towards it. I stopped in the edge of it, Clarke was staring at me with a smile on her face and nodded to the girl standing with her back towards me. I would know that red jacket anywhere. She turned and stopped, our eyes meeting. I felt myself start to break down as she made her way towards me, hesitant and slow. She reached out and touched me and I looked down, noticing she had my raven necklace on, "You still wear it.." I choked out through a sob, "Every day.." She gave me a sad smile, her voice cracking as well. Her fingers trailed from my shoulder to my cheek and leaned up to kiss me. I held her close to me, feeling if I let her go it would all slip away from me. "I'm.. I'm so sorry.." I whispered. She buried her face against my shoulder, holding onto me. "Don't.. It's okay.. I love you, (Y/N).." She whispered. I kissed her head and looked at Clarke. She was crying, I don't think she had seen me this happy ever. She gave me a thumbs up and I leaned down and whispered in Raven's ear, "I love you too.. Stay with me.." She looked up at me and smiled, nodding before pulling me into another kiss.
