When Paths Cross *A Clexa FanFic*

Chapter Seventeen

Clarke's POV

"What?" She snapped, I slid into the passenger seat besides her, she seemed to slightly move away staring ahead.

"You should apologize to Bellamy.." I mumbled, her eyes flicked to mine in a way I've never seen before.

"Get out.." she muttered in between heavy breaths, her eyes returning to look straight ahead.

"You pushed him onto the ground, Lexa!" I wasn't giving up, this was a stupid excuse. I just wanted to talk to her and the first excuse that came into my head was that.

"He called you a fucking gay and acted as if it were an insult." She shot back, her eyes returning to mine with a fiery anger.

"Lexa, he didn't mean it like-like that" I reached over to place a hand on her shoulder, she quickly pulled away.

"How else would he mean it? He looked like he was gonna smack you, I was protecting you!"

"Protecting me by hitting someone else?"

"You know what, fine. I don't need to waste my time on you, I have some things to take care of anyways." She stuck in her key, the car roaring to life.

"Lex-"

"Get out." I bit my lip, I never knew how Lexa was when she was upset. Nevertheless, I never knew she was protective. After sitting for a few moments I decided not to wait for her to kick me out herself. As I stood on the curb, watching her car drive off, I heard somebody walk up besides me.

"What a bitch.." a deep voice spoke, I looked over to see Bellamy, a smug smirk on his face.

"She was protecting me." I mumbled.

"Bullshit. She just wants to get you in bed." He snorted shaking his head then taking my hand.
"Come on"

"Actually-"

"Oh, come on"

"You were going to hit me.. weren't you?" He huffed, turning around to face me.

"She was gonna turn you into.. her"

"What? Say it. A gay?"

"Yeah, it's disgusting." He scrunched up his nose. I knew there was no use in arguing with him, I brushed past him and went to find O and Raven. I looked around the almost-empty festival, finally I spotted them getting out of a photo booth giggling. Raven took the picture and turned to show it to O, before Lincoln walked up and began to talk to O. They went off somewhere private, leaving Raven stranded.

I walked up to Raven, wrapping an arm around her.

"Hey"

"Hey.." she mumbled, looking down at the pictures in her hands. The first frame was the two of them smiling, the second frame O pulled her in for a hug, the third frame O sat on her lap doing jazz hands while Raven laughed. They seemed close. Something must be up, I looked at Raven, she seemed hurt and betrayed. Oh she..

"You like her" I smiled as I watched Raven's flustered reaction.

"No.." I gave her what she calls 'the Griffin look' she reluctantly sighed, pulling me into the photo booth.
"Maybe a little"

"That's great! We have to go tell her!" I broke into a grin, about to jump out of the photo booth but was pulled back into the booth.

"No way, I can't tell her. This is a secret Clarke, you can't tell anybody about this." I looked at her confused.

"Why not?"

"Because, what if she's a homophobe like Bell? Plus, she's-she's getting back together with Lincoln"
