Chapter Twelve: Stargazing

Three hours later I pull over at the hop of a hill, backing my car in to the front of my car was facing the way we came and the back looking out over the land.

"Woah" Lexa whispers from her spot, i smirk and get out the car, her following me.

"You haven't seen anything yet" i tell her as I take her hand and lead her to the back of my car, I pull off the tarp that i had put on to reveal an air mattress with heaps of blankets and pillows and fairly lights, it was 7 pm so the stars where starting to come out, i pull Lexa by the hand onto the back of the car and sit down, i had bought snacks with us so we eat before we lay down side by side.

I watch her as she watches the sky darken and the stars begin to show, a look of awe is spread across her face with her mouth parted,wide sparkling green eyes take in the sky around her.

"It's so beautiful" she whispers after a while, I'm still watching her when I reply.

"Yea, it is" i whisper back, my heart pounds in my chest when she turns her head to look at me, a blush reddening her cheeks and a small smile forms on her lips.

We stare at one another for a moment before i decide 'fuck it' and lean forward, wrapping my hand around the back of her neck and crashing our lips together.

She seemed frozen for a moment before responding and kissing me back softly, her hands going to my waist and pulls me closer.

The kiss is slow and passionate, sending butterflies to my stomach and making me feel like I could run a mile but not wanting to leave her arms all at once.

Her hand runs up my back as i take the other one in my hand and place them above her head, when breath becomes a necessity we pull apart breathing heavily, looking at each other with half closed eyes as we rest our foreheads together.

I close my eyes as I lean above her on my elbow, my other hand holding her own above her head as her free arm wraps around my waist, we're quiet for a while as we just take it all in.

"Be my girlfriend" Lexa's whisper reaches my ears, I open my eye and pull away a little bit so i could see her properly, she's looking up at me with shining eyes and parted lips, "Be my girlfriend" she repeats.

"Are you sure you want this.... want..Me?" I ask, I didn't want to push her into anything she didn't want.

Lexa nods and pulls me in for a kiss, unlike the last one this is heated and tongues are introduced, she rolls on top of me as we makeout for a while before managing to pull away, Lexa's hovering above me with my legs wrapped around her waist when she asks again.

"Clarke Praimheda-Griffin, will you be my girlfriend?" She asks, hope in her eyes and a small smile on her lips, i don't hesitate this time with my reply.

"Yes. Yes I'd course i will" i beam, it's the biggest smile ive had in so long that it hurts my cheeks, Lexa smiles wide as well and kisses me again before rolling up back over so my head was on her chest.

"Can you tell me what happened that night and after you left?" Lexa asks a while later, I take a breath as i begin my story as to why I got that bad of a beating.

Twelve Years Ago; Age Eight

WARNING: ABUSE, BAD LANGUAGE AND RAPE, SKIP TO NEXT CHAPTER IF YOUR NOT COMFORTABLE.

I tiptoe into the house, hoping to be quiet, it was 3:40 and school had just finished, I had gotten enough courage today that i had told my favourite teacher that my foster family was abusing me, she told me to go home and pretend I never said anything while she sorts it out.

I look around the corner into the kitchen, i had to go past it to get to my room but my foster father Cage, my foster mother Lorelei and their son Emerson where all there waiting, I press my back against the wall and take a deep breath before walking in, deciding to pretend it was any normal day.

Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Wallace, good after noon Emerson" i say politely as i go and get myself a drink, Cage stops me and stands infront of me with his arms crossed, towering above me.

"We got a call from the school saying that you told them we beat you" he says coldly, my eyes widen as i stumble back, my mouth opening and closing like a fish, "Well then, if you thought those where bearings then this is gonna be hell for you" he says with an evil smirk before punching me across the face making me fall.

Cage grabs me by the hair and rams my face into the wall before lifting me and throwing me into the glass table, it smashes around me sending shards of glass into my skin, he's still screaming at me as my small body racks with sobs, Emerson is laughing and Lorelei is no where the seen.

Cage picks up my bleeding body and throws me to the wall, I scream as I hit it and land behind the couch, Cage rams the couch into me as my head small into the wall making me dizzy.

I feel myself being dragged somewhere and the next thing I know is that I'm naked and being pushed into a scolding hot bath. I scream out again before they dunk my head under until my lunges burn before pulling me out and throwing me to the floor.

I scream again when Cage thrusts into me as i reach for anything that could be used as I weapon, i grab onto a baseball bat and smash it into his head making him crawls away.

I stand up and run to the door before Emerson smashes me down in the kitchen with the bat, it's nails digging into my hip, I grab a knife and ran it into a man's most prized possession, he screams and drops to the floor and  I run faster then I've ever ran before for the door.

I make it our o to the street but I didn't see the car before it's too late, it's crashes into me, i feel it's tires crush my legs as I scream before everything goes black.

I wake up weeks later in a hospital bed attached to a life support machine with the Woods family by my side.
