Little Did You Know

The birthday party vol. 2

"Clarke!!" Lexa slurred towards me and spilled her drink with every step.

They've got to be kidding me...

"With 'enjoy yourself' I didn't mean becoming the commander of alcohol."
Raven chuckled amused behind my back as I crossed my arms. Lexa's happy expression turned emotional and sad.
"I didn't mean to upset you."
She dropped her cup onto the ground and I couldn't help but forgive these round deep green eyes.
"It's alright." I felt the heat rushing to my cheeks when her pout turned into this beautiful bright smile I admired so much.
"Anyway.." I paused and sighed. "You two have something to talk about.." I stepped aside, tearing down the wall between them.

"Rae.." Lexa took a step forward and reached out her hand to touch Raven's face but she took a step back. "You can talk from one meter distance, I'm sure." She crossed her arms.
Lexa nodded sadly. Her round green puppy eyes melted my heart and I couldn't understand how Raven managed to stay so cold.
"Rae.. I.." Lexa started with tears welling up inside her eyes. Raven bit her lip but averted her gaze. I could see she had a hard time fighting her own emotions.
When Lexa looked into my direction with this despair in her eyes I just nodded cheery and crossed my fingers.
With a weak smile she turned back to Raven whose stare was still glued onto the ground.
"Raven I know I've hurt you even though I promised you to be the only one who would never hurt you. I didn't, not intentionally." Her bottom lip shivered.
"If I could I would turn back the time and make it all differently, but I can't. I can't travel through time and fix the mess I made." Raven's gaze remained the same.

"You're my sister Raven, nothing will ever change that-"
"You're here to say sorry?! Do you really think everything will be alright and all lovely again just because of a stupid apology?" Raven's voice was strong and clear as she spoke. Still, her gaze didn't meet Lexa's.
I could hear her heart breaking in two, causing a weird and unknown feeling inside my stomach.

"Raven.. I know it's too late for taking things back but I'm here now and I don't plan on leaving you again. You are.." Lexa took a deep breath as she moved another step closer. This time Raven didn't keep her distance by taking steps back.
"You are my glimmer of light, you're my ray of hope, my colors. It had never been any different, Raven. It hasn't passed one single day on which I haven't thought about you, on which I haven't blamed myself for hurting you and on which I haven't missed you."
Her thumb gently draw a circle on Raven's cheek and moments later, her whole hand rested on her face. She then gently pulled her sister's face towards her. Raven opened her eyes and slowly looked up to her sister. Her eyes were glassy and her gaze was tired.
"You replaced me with Finn. You spent time with him, when I was falling apart. You stayed with him, when all I needed, was your support. He isn't right for you and you know that, still, you chose him over me." she took a step back again. Thick tears ran down her cheeks.

"Our dad died, I was bullied and beaten up in school. And all I ever needed..was my sister."
Raven couldn't fight it anymore. Teardrops turned into waterfalls.
Lexa stared at the mess she made and pressed her palm against her lips when she saw how much pain she had caused her sister. With a loud sob and following tears, she pulled Raven into her arms and hugged her as tight as she could and held her with all she had.
"I'm here Raven." Lexa whispered. "I won't leave."
Both sunk down to the ground, holding onto the other and crying into each other's necks. Raven's sobs echoed through the night and I could swear time seemed to slow down and there was nothing more important than these souls merging back into one.
When both separated to just look into each other's eyes and finally smile, I knew my work was done and I couldn't have spent a better night.
Suddenly, I felt a skinny arm around my waist, and when I turned to my right, I saw Octavia with tears of joy inside the corners of her eyes.
-
Lexa and Raven spent a perfect time together, ranting and chatting about anything and everything. It somehow brought Clarke joy seeing both sisters happy and having fun.
She couldn't help but stare at Lexa talking and talking, the way her peachy mouth opened and closed, the way her soft lips moved delicate and graceful as she spoke and the way she bit and licked her lips every time she smiled.

With a long sigh she left the veranda and walked into the garden to Octavia's old swing. She sat down and looked up to the night sky with a million of small lights twinkling and sparkling in the black of the night.

"May I ask what a nice girl like you is doing all alone on a swing on a nice and beautiful night like this?" A tall dark haired guy leaned engagingly against the big tree next to Clarke. He had this big, white tooth-past-ad smile and muscular arms.
"I'm swinging." Clarke mumbled.
"That's so boring." He said. "Don't you rather want to join me for a couples of drinks inside? Or we could just walk to mine, I've some friends there as well."
He was the type of guy Clarke couldn't stand.
"What's your Name?" The blonde asked, scanning the man in front of her.
"It's Adam." She nodded uninterested.
"So what about our drink?" When Clarke didn't answer he just placed his finger on Clarke's chin to lift up her face.
"What do you say we dance a little blondie?"
"No thank you." She said coldly, getting up and then turning her back on him.
"Why not?" He followed her.
"Because I have to take someone home before 2 am and secondly, you're just not my type." She walked towards the veranda but he got a grip on her and pulled her back to him.
"It's just a drink, come on." He pressed her body against his.
"Let. Me. Go." She hissed under her breath but he didn't plan on letting her go anytime soon.
The blonde was usually the type of girl who was stronger than the usual chicks she knew but with his muscles he was simply too strong.
"Oh don't be a spoilsport." He had a dirty grin across his face.

"She said no." A female shadow was leaning her back against the wall.
"And who the hell are you to think you can command me around?" Clarke scratched his arms but he didn't even seem to notice.
"If you don't let her go within 5 seconds I will call 911." Lexa stepped into the light.
"Why 911?" He let go of Clarke. "Nothing happened here." He rushed past her.

The blonde rubbed her neck as the brunette walked down the stairs.
"Are you okay?" Clarke nodded.
"I will take you home now."
"You don't have to, really. I can walk-*
"I said I'd do and I will." Clarke insisted.
Lexa nodded.

After the girls grabbed their jackets and said bye to Octavia, Raven, Monty and passed out Jasper, both went towards Sally's café where Clarke would drop the brunette off.
"Thank you." Lexa broke the silence.
"Mh?"
"For everything you've done for me." She bit her lip and nervously looked down onto her hands.
"Anytime, Lexa." Clarke smiled, blue never leaving forest green.
"No, I mean it." Lexa looked up again. "No one had ever done anything like that for me, even less if I was a stranger."

Clarke suddenly felt a lump inside her throat and gladly, Lexa was the one continued.
"You accepted me as the person I am. You helped me without knowing the real me and you brought back my long lost happiness. Thank you, Clarke."
The huge smile made the blonde's heart skip a beat but yet, she couldn't manage to reply. She just stared into these big round eyes. She lost herself in this deep green spectacle.

"You're the best friend I ever had and I don't have to be your friends for ages to know that. I hope we'll be able to meet up the next days. I would be happy to spend more time with you." With a soft smile she got closer and placed a small kiss on Clarke's cheek before she slowly walked towards a dark lane.

"Hey!" Clarke suddenly regained control over herself.
Lexa turned around, smiling.
"I'll see you around Commander!"
"Commander?" Lexa laughed.
"I told you I would find some nicknames for you. And guess what? That's the best one for you."
Lexa shook her head.
"Goodnight sky princess." She shouted before she turned the corner
