Everything's Changed

Raven parked quickly and they all rushed into the hospital. Octavia had beaten the others to the front desk.

"Who are you here to see?" The woman said in a calm voice.

"Clarke Griffin." Octavia breathed heavily.

"Room forty." The woman said smiling.

They walked down the hallway in silence, waiting to see Clarke. "So, what makes the all mighty popular girl come with us to see her?" Raven said breaking the silence.

"I'm just making sure she is fine." Lexa responded.

"Really? I'm pretty sure that Lexa Woods wouldn't give a damn." Raven spat.

Lexa had no excuse to be there nor did the other two. They were there to support the new girl and hopefully be friends with her even though she wouldn't let them get to know her. They would have to spend more time around her.

Raven was the first to enter her hospital room, Octavia and Lexa following. They saw Clarke laying there, all clean and fresh. She still had the bruises and scars.

"What are you guys doing here?" Clarke croaked.

"We came to check on you." Raven exchanged looks with Octavia and then Lexa.

"Well thanks for wasting your own time." Clarke stiffened. "I'm not worth your time." Clarke started to frown.

"How can we be sure you're a waste of time?" Lexa mumbled as she fidgeted with her fingers.

"I am. I always have been. If you guys could leave, that would be great." Clarke said.

They nodded and left the room. They all walked back to Raven's car in silence. They all had their minds on what Clarke had said to them. Why had she said that to them?

Raven dropped Lexa off at her dorm and her and Octavia headed to Ark Hall. The parking spaces were almost empty because of Bellamy's unsuccessful party for the girls. Raven snatched a close up parking space.

Raven jumped onto the couch as Octavia did after. They sat in the dark, in the silence. "Why does she think she's a waste of time?" Octavia asked.

"I don't know but I think we should go through her room." Raven smirked.

The girls got up and got into her room. One thing Raven noticed was all of her pants were sweats or jeans. She had barely any skin revealing clothes except for a few. It didn't give much away though.

Octavia was looking through her drawers for personal journals. She had been successful and they opened to the first entry.

April 10 2018

Today was just like any other day. Cage had done what has been doing ever since our "breakup." I wish it wasn't so hard on me. Sometimes I want to curl up in a ball and forget about everything.

Octavia and Raven exchanged looks, knowing they shouldn't turn to the next page but they did. They turned to the next entry.

April 17 2018

I had nightmares last night of my future. I was being stabbed by Cage himself and him and his friends laughing at me. "Your dad can't save you now." They kept saying. I couldn't help but cry.

"I'm still trying to piece this together." Raven gasped.

Octavia put her hand on Raven's back, trying to comfort her. "We'll piece it together."

April 28 2018

I had my fifth trip to the hospital today after lunch. It's the same thing every time. This time I was hit harder than usual. I can't stop him.

May 15 2018

I expected the last day of my junior year to be better but it wasn't. It was ruined. I just wanted to have a good day. I really need to think about transferring schools. I still don't know why he does these things. What did I do wrong?

June 7 2018

I was visited by Emerson today while my mom was out working and I made my first trip of the month to the hospital. I've been to the hospital more than a hundred times in my life because of this. This is my life.

June 26 2018

I was given a new scar by Tsing's knife while I was out shopping. I had made another trip to the hospital to get stiches but it's a permanent scar. Another to add to the collection.

July 4 2018

I was encountered at a fair by an unfamiliar boy who decided to stab me in public. I lost a lot of blood and I'm guessing he's with Cage.

July 26 2018

I finally have a good day. I sat at home, watching a lot of movies on my CD player. I took a good nap and I finally got my mind off of things for a few hours.

August 3 2018

I'm finally transferring schools! I'm hoping this goes well. I need a fresh start. I need something other than this.

"WOW!" Raven said in surprise. "I never thought."

"I still can't piece it all together." Octavia sighed.

The girls exited her room to head to bed. It might help them with some sleep.
