Chapter 20: War of hearts

- ALEXANDRÍA SHIT !!

- ALI ?! DON'T!... WAIT!... I...

Lexa was not having a good Friday, she had just told her twin the bad news that she would not be able to attend her wedding because everything that was happening in her life. Lexa could not explain everything to her sister as she would have wanted to, perhaps Alicia would not have taken the news so badly if she knew more about what was happening lately in her sister's life.

But Alicia only focused on the fact that her beloved sister was refusing to be there at her wedding, and the storm, rather hurricane broke, that Lexa had never let her sister down until now when she really wanted her to be there for the happiest moment in her life.

Truthfully Lexa understood her sister's anger and disappointment, Alicia had made great sacrifices for her, putting her career to one side several times, and running to be by her side when she needed her. Now for the first time Lexa's sister needed her to be there and for something so important yet Lexa was failing her sister, and she felt terrible about it, but she was really was unable to leave at the moment.

Lexa did not want to call her sister again and insist that Alicia listen to why she could not be there, to tell her sister her problems and reasons why she could not leave the city but Lexa knew she needed to give Alicia time, because if she called her again, she would not listen to her, or she would not listen to her and she would continue shouting several expletives. Lexa was also in her office on a break between patients, and she had to continue with her workday. But there was another issue or person, in particular, that had her very worried, and from whom she could not distance herself, Clarke.

Lexa was desperate to explain everything to Clarke as soon as she possibly could, she felt that the more time passed, the worse it got because the artist could be making very mistaken assumptions. But she had promised not to pressure Clarke into seeing her or speaking with her, so the only thing she could do was to talk to someone who knew Clarke very well so that they could give her some ideas on how to solve the problem. That person was none other than Raven Reyes. It was a little ironic since they had both had betrayed Clarke's trust, but Raven had the advantage of knowing the artist better than anyone. Lexa needed to have a chat with her to find out what to do to apologize to Clarke.

When Lexa was about to send a message to Raven, asking her if she could meet to talk somewhere with her later, her phone began to insistently. Lexa was surprised to see that the caller was none other than her beloved mother Becca calling from Australia. Lexa ran her hand through her hair and rolled her eyes as she took a deep breath, as she immediately imagined that the conversation would not be pleasant, probably her mother was furious for Alicia and her ruined wedding.

- Mother, what a pleasure and what a surprise to hear from you - Lexa answered, trying to sound calm and pretending to not know what the call was about.

- Alexandria, tell me you did not just ruin your sister's wedding! - her mother replied in a very irritated tone. Lexa looked at the ceiling letting out the air from her lungs.

- I... Mother.

- Alexandria! Daughter! How could you?! Your sister has always been there for you, no matter the cost, and now that she needs you, you turn your back on her?! I expected something better from you! You disappoint me! - Becca did not hold back her words, she was really angry, and Lexa knew that no matter what she said, she would be condemned, but she still tried to defend herself.

- Mother... Mother! Stop please, you do not understand what is happening in my life, you have no idea, and I doubt that my sister told you of the little I could explain to her. But do not accuse me without knowing, please! I would do anything for Ali and you know it, you know how close we have always been. But seriously, it is not possible for me to travel to Hawaii tomorrow, and she and you must understand it. - Lexa was tired of the favoritism that Becca had always shown for her model daughter, and no matter how much Lexa tried to reach the same favoritism in her mother's eyes, she never succeeded and it hurt her.
