SinceI was drinking with Lexa a cup of coffee, were again passed in a fewdays.
Sincethen, I had not seen the brunette.
Whatwas actually bad.
BecauseI found her very nice and a few friends couldn't hurt.
"Hereis the post" said Bellamy, as he put it on the kitchen island.
"Somethinginteresting?" I asked him as I gave him a short kiss.
"Billsand a letter from a Luke from New York City for you," I heardhim and I immediately went to the letters.
Actually.
Onewas from Luke.
Evenif a different surname was written on it.

"Canyou take care of the food?" confused Bellamy looked and henodded.
Gratefully,I smiled before I went into the living room and sit on the Couch.
Immediately,I opened the letter and began to read.
'HeyClarke, I'm damn sorry that I have not reported all the years withyou. It was just too much going on in all the time :D I am living nowsince 15 years in NYC, and I thought all the years of you. After all,you are my best friend. I hated to move here, because I had you inthe vicinity. You were the Only one who understood me always, and allof my quirks has accepted, even if I was only eleven and you wereten.
Myparents had sent me in private school, and since I had hardlyleisure. Since two years I work as a teacher in a school here. Sportsand math. I love my work and could imagine nothing better. My parentsdied half a year ago unfortunately. Just like my girlfriend. Allthree in a car accident. I have started a therapy because of that,because I cope with the loss really hard, but slowly I feel better.My therapist has advised me that I was supposed to report times withold friends, to which I had years of no contact. And you first cameto my mind. I should have, at the death of my parents, maybe get intouch with you. At least you have understood me back then, also verygood.
Iguess that you wonder why I've got a different last name. I gotmarried a week ago. It is really great, even if she can't replace mylast girlfriend. It came, perhaps, all of a sudden, but it feltright.
Ieven suspect that you already met my cousin. Lexa, she lives nextdoor. She told me immediately that she has met you. And she was morethan pissed that I didn't talked with you all the years. So it isprobably the reason why I am reporting to you. I hope you both canget friends. She is a great woman, even if she is sometimes reallycomplicated. But if you get to know her properly, then you know whyshe is the way she is. I would be glad if you could write me back. Iknow that I have wrote no address, so just give Lexa the letter. I amjust about to move and since the post won't arrive with me :D
OhYes, all the best to your engagement Little Girl ;)
Love,your crazy Luke ;)'I had to smile and leaned back.
NowI knew why Lexa had the same last name as Luke.

Butshe had not told me that she was his cousin, it was funny.
"And?What has he written?" crack me the voice of Bellamy from mythoughts and I looked up at him.

Hehad the food already on the table and indicated to me that I shouldsit down.

Briefly,I drove through my hair, before I went to him and sat at the table.
"Nothingimportant. Only that he feels sorry that he has not reported in forso long. And this our new neighbour, is his cousin," I twitchedwith the shoulders, before I started to eat.
"Wehave a new neighbour?" confused the larger one looked at me.
"Yes,for almost a week, you Idiot" I laughed and shook my head.

Healso got nothing.
Hewas almost never home.
Onlyon Work.
OtherwiseI don't know him at all.

Sometimesit bothered me that he was just at work.
Tohim, the money, was damn important, that's why he was so much atwork.
SometimesI even questioned whether he loved me or whether he just wanted me toget married because my Mom was one of the best Doctors in the area,and he could thus improve his Status when he married Griffin'sdaughter.



Halfan hour later, we were done eating and I put everything away.
Bellamywas already pursuing in his office to his work.
Thishe did, in fact, always.
Justwhen I had given the dishwasher, my cell phone rang and I picked itup.

"O?What is it?" I leaned against the kitchenette and played with theletter from Luke, the one I had back in the Hand.
"Anold friend of mine just moved back to LA and she is celebratingtomorrow night for a house-warming party. You have to come to withme?"
"Idon't know . Tomorrow is Bellamy's only free day," I sighed,before I went into the bedroom.
"Oh,come on Clarke. You always do everything for these idiots. Since hecan do without a day to you. In addition, it is not even far. Shelives in your house" quietly I laughed and closed my eyes, as I hadset on my bed.

"Yougive no peace until I say Yes?"

"Nope.And besides, I said Raven, you're coming with me. So you have to comewith me" I breathed and remained sitting.
"Okay,but only because I wanted to talk to Lexa. When should I be theretomorrow?"

"Eighto'clock it goes off. But I am already there at seven. I know you. Youwill be able to attract any garbage and I don't want to," I laughedeven louder and shook my head.

Thenuntil tomorrow O. And don't you tell your brother anything about it.You know he hates it when I go to parties"

"Don'tworry C, I'll tell him nothing. Then until tomorrow," I heard herbefore she hung up.
Ididn't know if I really wanted to be at this Party, or whether I justwent with Lexa to talk about Luke.

Butat least I came out again.

Becauseof what Bellamy really hated was that I went to parties.

Thelast one I was at was half a year ago.
SoI could treat myself to this one Party.

Whetherhe wanted to or not.
