Clarke felt heavier. She felt like she was drowning completely. Graduation had already passed and she was now packing all of her belongings. She felt if she had been hit by a car and drowned right after. She heard ringing all the time and every sound was muffled.

Raven, her best friend, was relating to her. Both had experienced a breakup and both had been on the worse end. Was it their fault, no. It was just the universe cursing them. That's what they thought.

Lexa and Octavia seemed to feel lighter after their breakups. They felt like there was nothing holding them back. But, of course, those were selfish reasons. Lexa hadn't seen Clarke directly. She had seen her during graduation. And to be honest, she looked like absolute shit. Octavia hadn't seen Raven directly either.

Clarke finished packing her last bag and sighed at the empty dorm room. Raven walked and stood next to Clarke and rested her head on her shoulder. "Ready for college?"

"I guess." Clarke shrugged. "It's going to be hard for a while."

"Yeah, but at least we have each other." Raven looked up at the blonde and smiled weakly.

Clarke smiled weakly and embraced Raven. She knew she was going to see the girl after the summer break but they had been inseparable the past few days. "I'm gonna miss you."

"We'll facetime occasionally." Raven chuckled. "There's still gonna be internet."

"Yeah." Clarke pulled away and nodded. "You're right. I just don't want to go back to New Orleans to spend the summer with a mourning Marcus."

"It'll be alright." Raven rolled her eyes. "You have those boys to hang out with, not to mention the little girl."

"But it's different without Lexa." Clarke said, saying Lexa's name for the first time since the breakup. "I'm terrible with children."

"No you're not." Raven scoffed playfully. "You can be if you want to."

"I'm probably going to go clubbing and to a lot of parties this summer." Clarke said truthfully.

"Well, I can't drink much for now." Raven groaned. "Oh, tell Monty to ship some more moonshine to me."

"Will do." Clarke giggled.

Her phone vibrated and they started carrying boxes out to her mother's car. Once they finished, Clarke started to tear up.

"High school is over." Clarke sniffled. "I cannot believe it!"

"Me either." Raven laughed and hugged Clarke once again.

Clarke pulled away and got into her mother's car. She shut the door behind her and they took off. Raven walked back to the dorm to started gathering all of her boxes. She was lonely for the summer.

Lexa had packed immediately after graduation and since she didn't have much, it wasn't too much of a worry. She had all of her boxes put into a truck and sent off to her apartment in Los Angeles. She was going to catch a cab and take a flight out to California right after she said goodbye to Octavia.

Everyone else were mad at Lexa for being such a bitch. But could you blame her? She did what she thought was right and what her father told her.

Lexa waited for Octavia at the café and when she entered, Octavia sat down at the table where Lexa sat.

"So you doing well?" Octavia asked.

"Yeah, pretty fine." Lexa sighed. "You know what you're doing?"

"Yeah, gonna try a few action movies."

"Maybe we'll meet along our acting journey." Lexa shrugged.

"Possible." Octavia smiled. "Good luck with Fear."

"Thanks, I'll need it."

Octavia nodded and smiled. "I'd better get going, I think Anya wanted to stop by."

Octavia and Lexa got up and they gave a short goodbye hug. Lexa sat back down when Octavia exited the café. She waited patiently for Anya to show.

Once Anya did show, she sat down. She was tense and probably not comfortable with being around Lexa at the moment. Lexa was being a bit different than own personality and Anya didn't like it.

"Hopefully you're happy on how things turned out." Anya said.

"I am." Lexa said. "And you don't have to agree on what I did, but it was what was best for me."

"You can tell yourself that when you're alone when you're old." Anya chuckled lightly.

"Anya, I know you and Aden are mad at me, b-"

"No, you're right, we are mad." Anya cut her off. "You aren't thinking correctly and your just on autopilot. Just know that your privacy will not be respected when you do this."

"I'm totally aware." Lexa mumbled. "It's not like I have a life anyways."

"Well when you learn what life means and what it's like to have a life, contact me." Anya said bitterly. "Until then, don't contact me."

Anya got up from the table and left Lexa. Lexa was sitting there in amazement. Maybe she did fuck up. But was it really worth it? Yes, of course. Everyone's true colors showed and she realized that everyone she knew, pretty much, were assholes.

Lexa arrived on Fear the Walking Dead set two days after she left Arkadia and smiled to herself. She was really on the set.

"Excuse me, are you Lexa Woods?" A blonde woman asked.

"Uh, yeah."

"I'm Madison Dickens." She said.

"Nice to meet you." Lexa smiled.

"Come on, Robert is waiting to meet you."

Madison walked off and Lexa followed her throughout the set.
