Always by your side | Clexa

Chapter 3

"Where is Lexa!" I glazed at the three girls. "Clarke.." Octavia tried to calm me. "No. Where is she?" I cut her off.

"I..I.." Harper stuttered. "We don't know where she is" Echo finished for her. I froze. "What do you mean you don't know where she is?" Anya echoed my thoughts. "When I woke up, the three of us were in a car. The research team found us not a long time ago. They wanted to bring us to the hospital, but we insisted to come here. I questioned them about Lexa, but they said she wasn't there when they found us. And if you're wondering how we knew you were here, it's because Monty let some messages to Harper hoping she would see them" Emori explained.

The room started to spin and I felt like the floor was fading under my feet, just like in my dream. I was still analyzing everything they just said. They were okay and I was glad they were. But Lexa was still missing. My knees flinched and a second later I was on the floor. Someone rushed to help me up, but I brushed his (or her) arms away. I didn't want any help. I only wanted Lexa.

I managed to get back on my feet and ran away. I didn't know where I was going to go, but I had to leave. I couldn't stay there. In the house where I had so many memories with my best friend.

My legs guided me to a bench in the park. The bench was in face of a river. I ran my fingers on engraved letters and traced them. R + O, M + J, L + C... We did that many years ago, when we were in 5th grade. This place had always been our spot. Whenever we were sad, angry or when we needed time for ourselves, we would go here.

Even if we were all best friends, some where always closer. Raven and Octavia were partners in crime. Monty and Jasper were best buddies. Me and Lexa, we just connected. It was like we shared a brain and a heart...

I think I stayed there for an hour. Just looking at the water. I heard a car parking near the entrance then foot steps approaching.

"Hey Clarke.." a little voice murmured. "Hi Bellamy" I recognized his voice. "Hello Raven, sorry for being so rude to you when you simply tried to help me get up" Raven imitated my voice. "Sorry" I apologized. "I'm joking Clarke. I'm just trying to lift up your soul. But I guess there's only one person who could achieve that" Rae affirmed. "And this person is actually missing and could be dead" I shook my head. "Don't say that, Clarke!" Bellamy growled. "Im loosing my mind without her" I confessed. "We know. We miss her too. Now come with us. Our family is waiting" Raven huffed.

I jumped in Bellamy's jeep and we drove back to the Woods residence. As soon as I walked in the living room, everyone stood up in silence. "Please sit guys" I asked them and they did. "First of all, I just want to apologize to you three" I addressed to Emori, Harper and Echo. "I know I was rude earlier when you came back, but you have to understand that I'm completely lost without Lexa. I know I sound like I'm dependent on her and it is kinda true. I never really realized it until yesterday. I got angry when you told me you didn't know where she was only because I needed a way to evacuate my anger and unfortunately, it came out on you even if it's not your fault at all. I'm so sorry I hope you can forgive me. I'm so glad and relieved you three are safe and not injured" I confessed looking down at my hands ashamed of how I behaved.

"Clarke" Harper smiled. "We're not mad at you for the way you acted. I think I would've reacted the same way if it was Monty who was missing. I totally forgive you" Harper placed a hand on mines.

"Same for me here. The way you reacted was how we would have all reacted. You're human and it's normal to make mistakes. You have my whole forgiveness" Emori warmly forgave me.
