Clarke's Perspective
Today's gonna just be a normal day with my brother and my friends. My mom and dad are letting us all hand out here then going somewhere if we want. Or them going somewhere. Lincoln my brother is really fun. Oh did I tell you? I never missed a school day in my life and never will. My high school is Arke High School. It's really fun there. Today went by so fast. Since Lincoln was a very protected of me. So when I was flirting with Bellamy he gave me the 'dont you think about it look'. I laughed every time though. Then we went home. I got up at the sound of the alarm clock. It was 6:00 a.m. I got up and put something on that I knew Bellamy would like. I loved that outfit too. I got Lincoln up and went down stairs to eat.
"Hey dad." I said entering the kitchen. I always have greeted him first. I never really liked my mom.
Lincoln was her favorite out of us. I never told anyone this, but when dad left for a business trip and Lincoln stayed at Bellamys I was home alone with mom. My mom got really drunk that night. She started to beat me and kick me. When dad and Lincoln were around she wouldn't do that. This has been happening for years. I have scars old and new. I took my car to school. I went to pick O up though. Octavia was and is my best friend. We know everything about each other. Other than I liked Bellamy, but that was obvious to her. When we got there we waited around. Some people came by and just ran. They are frightened by my whole group of friends. Yet one alone. We waited for Bellamy and Lincoln. While we waited it was really quiet.
"Hey O, Can I show you something you can't tell Bellamy or Lincoln about?" I asked breaking the silence. She had a right to know what my mom was doing to me.
"Sure!" O said happily. We had like twenty minutes until Bellamy and Lincoln showed up.
I grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the girls bathroom. No one was in there. I lifted my shirt a little so she could see all the bruises and scars. She put her hand over her mouth.
"What happened?!" O asked. I knew she got really scared about that.
"My mom. She gets drunk and when no one is around she starts to abuse me." I say starting to cry a little. I whipped my tears away fast.
"You need to tell Lincoln!! He could stop this." She told me. I knew he could, but I didn't want him hurt.
"Mabey later." I pause "Its been twenty minutes. We should meet the boys and go to class." I tell her. She just nodded.
~At first period~
I see Bellamy looking at me. I sit in the back. He sits in the front. So does everyone else. I gotten a phone call. It was an unknown number I answer it.
"Hello?" I ask softly.
"Clarke Griffen?" She asked. I nodded and remembered she can't see me.
"This is her." I say in my normal tone. Worry is spread across my face. I see people from the front looking at me. The nurse tells me what's going on. My face drops. I put my things in my bookbag really fast then started running out of the classroom. Lincoln, Bellamy and the others knew something was wrong. They ran after me. Lincoln caught up to me holding my waist until I told them. I was catching my breath and crying.
"The hospital called m- m-me" I paused. I looked at everyone. "Linc mom and dad are in the hospital!! They got into an accident." His grip loosened. I ran out the doors and hoped in my car. Linc hoped in the passenger and everyone else piled in the back. My hands were shaking. Linc noticed.
"Hey, it'll be okay. Alright?" He asked. The whole car was silent as they watched me fall apart.
"Linc I have to tell you something that mom did." I tell them still crying, but driving the way to the hospital. I saw O nod in the mirror. I pulled over for a minute.
"Clarke what's wrong what did mom do?" Lincoln asked me. I told him to not get mad he didn't promise, but it was a semi promise. I lifted my shirt so Linc could see my stomach. The bruises and cuts and scars all around my body, but not my arms or legs.
"I'm gonna kill her!!" He screamed I put my shirt down and then began driving. I was almost there. I could see the hospital. I could see the hate in Lincs eyes as he looked at the hospital. I got there and parked. I left my things and ran into the hospital as fast as I could. I got to the front desk.
"We need to know about an accident on 27 lane. They are my mom and dad." I say catching my breath as the others run up.
"Oh right. Well they both are in very critical condition. I don't think they are going to make it." The tears streamed more and more down my face. My dad my only friend!! I stumbled backwards as Bellamy caught me.
"Hey it's okay." I heard O say. I knew it wasn't though. Then the doctor came into the room.
"Who is family to Mr. And Mrs. Griffen?" The man asked. He looked at all of us.
"We are." Lincoln said stepping forward with me. "We are there kids." Lincoln said trying to calm me.
"Right. Umm well I'm sorry. We did every thing we could Mr. Griffen had gotten badly hurt. He died on the surgery table." I fell to the gound. Lincoln came down and grabbed my shoulders. "Also for Mrs. Griffen. She died in the middle of surgery. I'm so sorry for your lost." The doctor said then walked away. I knew everyone was looking at me.
That's it for this chapter!! Stay tuned for more!!!
