"Ugh..."

I groan as I come back to consciousness, I blink away the blur and as soon as it's gone I realise I'm upside down.

Panicking I look around, all the car windows are smashed and my door is torn off, the glovebox has come out and is sitting above me on the upside down car roof with blood on it and glass is either in my body or around me.

I look to my right to see Lexa, she's still unconscious and is bleeding but not as bad as me as her airbag worked, mine didn't.

"Lexa!" I call for her, I go to move my arm but a searing pain stops me, I look at my right arm and see a huge cut from my palm up to my elbow.

I call for her again but there's no luck, looking around frantically I hear this clicking.

Clink

Clink

Clink

I start to panic, it sounded like the petrol in the car is spilling everywhere.

I'm right, not a second later a fire starts at my side of the car, I scream out as I burns my hip, adrenaline kicks in to numb the pain quickly as I try and get out of my seat.

My seat belt is burt off now, sending me to the roof, if I wasn't numb to the pain I would have cried out at puting pressure on all my wounds and shards of glass impaling me, the glove box cuts into my thigh but I pay it no mind as I make my way over to Lexa.

She knocked out, her hair hanging down and blood covering her clothes and arms, I pull at the seatbelt but nothing happens, I sob when I hear the crackling of the fire.

I frustratingly pull at it again and it comes undone, I catch Lexa's body before she could fall and pull the both of us to the back of the car.

I can feel the tears running down my face as I pull us out the back window, the grass cutting me again, I'm surprised I haven't given up but I'm with Lexa and I have to save her.

As soon as I feel the dirt of the ground beneath me I try and stand with my arms still around Lexa but I fall again, in pain and weakness, black spots start to enter my vision so I know I have to work fast as the flames come closer.

I decide to pull Lexa along with me, my arms feel numb by the time I make it far enough to a tree and hide us behind it with Lexa in my lap.

BOOM

The car explodes as the darkness takes over me and I fall unconscious knowing that I saved Lexa, I only hope help will be here soon.





Beep.....Beep.....Beep.....Beep

I frown at the constant noise beside my head, I try to open my eyes but I simply can't, I'm too weak. I try and move but I can't seem to do that either, I start to panic as voices surround me, it takes a moment to make them out clearly.

"...Ok, it's ok Clarke, your gonna be ok" I hear a voice whisper, it takes a moment for me to recognise it as Octavia's, she's somewhere on my left side and both of my hands are being held.

"I'm so scared I'll never see you again. Please wake up Clarke...Please" I hear another voice sob, Raven, she's on my right side.

I can hear a door creaking open and footfalls against marble floor before they come to a stop close to me.

"Sissy...?" I hear a young voice whisper, shit, Luna was here, by little sister.

"Is she gonna be ok daddy...?" I hear my baby brother, Aiden, ask worriedly.

"Yeah little one, she's gonna be ok. It's Clarke, she always comes back" I can hear my dad's rough voice say, he sounds like he's been crying, everyone does.

The events of what's happened pass through my mind, seeing the Woods, Lexa driving home, the car crash....the fire.

I want to ask where Lexa is, if she was ok and that I want to see her but it's too late and I'm too weak, unconsciousness takes me again.






The next time I wake up I done feel the presence of many people, maybe only a few are in the room this time, again, someone is holding my hand and I can hear sobbing.

"I just want her to wake up" I hear Raven sob, it breaks my heart that I can't reach out and hold her because I am here, I can hear her, I am awake and I'm going to be ok.

"I know baby, but give it time, she'll wake up when shes ready" Anya's voice comes in, she must be next to Raven.

"ITS BEEN 2 WEEKS, HOW MUCH MORE TIME DOES SHE NEED?!?" Raven breaks into heartwrenching sobs.

2 weeks...?

I've been out for 2 weeks? Were my last thoughts before I'm pulled into the darkness again.




I wake up again a few more times only to be pulled under again, each time I feel more depressed then the last, hearing my loved ones cry out for me but I can't do anything about it breaks me.

This time when I wake up I can feel many people around me, my hands are being held again and sniffling is around the room, unlike the other times the room is deadly silent.

I recognise the hand holding my left easily, a thumb is massaging the back of it then I feel them kiss it.

"Lexa...." I whine, finally I could open my mouth, the room around me stills and I squeeze her hand, "Lex..." I sob as my eyes finally open, I close them quickly at the bright ight before looking to my left at the love of my life.

"Clarke!!" Lexa beams, she's sitting in a wheelchair beside my bed with year's rolling down my cheeks, I'm vagly aware of Gustus walking out the door to get a doctor.

"Lex..." I whisper as tears roll down my cheeks, I can't seem to get the image of her hanging from the roof like a ragdoll out of my head.

"Hey, hey it's ok, your ok now" Lexa tells me as she cups my cheek, I close my eyes and let a wobbly smile on my face as more tears fall.

"Your ok....Your alive..." I sob, my throat was dry and my lunges were burning, I open my eyes to see her blurry figure nod.

"Yea we're both gonna be alright" she reassures me, I nod at her and pull her weakly by the hand closer to kiss her, it tastes like salt from our tears but I smile into it anyway, We're both gonna be alright.
