Famous In Love

83

Clarke was pacing back and forth in between their beds again, her hands grabbing her hair while she was short of breath. She felt her heartbeat in her cheek that got hit but didn’t care about that at the moment. Anya took a towel and wetted it with some water of the sink. “Here lay this on your cheek. It looks bad.” Anya said and she handed Clarke to towel over. “I don’t care about my fucking cheek. I needed to call my girlfriend. She’ll be worried sick I didn’t call her. I don’t know what she will do now. Fuck!” Clarke said and she punched the wall out of frustration, immediately regretting once she felt the pain shooting through her hand. Clarke shook her hand lose to give her some distraction of the pain while cursing. “Okay stop that.” Anya said and she stopped Clarke by grabbing her wrists. “Let me take a look.” Anya said and she folded Clarke hand open and pressing on Clarke’s knuckles what made Clarke wince of the pain. “Lucky you you’re bad at throwing punches. It’s not broken. Now lay this on your cheek and calm down.” Anya demanded and Clarke did. “Now what in earth were you thinking? Did you lose your mind?! Those people are longer here than you are. Sometimes they don’t hear there lovers for weeks and now you think you have the privilege to go first? You’re a greeny and you made that very clear for everyone here. You’re in danger for the act you put up there.”  
“You don’t understand. I don’t care about if I’m in danger or not. Someone I love is in danger. I don’t know what she will do when I’m not able to call her. She had to get another surgery because she wanted to hold me back from getting in here. She won’t let this go especially not if I don’t let her know how it’s going in here.” Clarke said and she sat down with a big sigh, her head resting on her hands. “I really needed to speak to her.” Clarke said and Anya sat down on her bed too, right in front of Clarke. “What’s the deal with that girl? And with you? This is obviously your first time in here.” 
“I’m innocent.” Clarke said and Anya laughed. “What’s funny?” 
“Everyone is always innocent in here, yet there are so many people in here.” 
“I really am.” 
“Okay tell me your story then.” 
“My girlfriend had a girlfriend at the time she fell in love with me and I fell for her. She broke up with her to be with me but the girl went crazy. She abducted me and was about to shoot me but Lexa jumped in front of me. That’s why she needed surgery. Lexa stabbed her and she died. I used the knife to cut myself lose and help Lexa. That’s why my fingerprints are on them and Pike tries to put the blame on. Revenge for the death on his daughter.” Clarke explained and Anya’s eyes widened. “Wait a minute. Costia?” Anya asked and Clarke looked shocked at the girl. She hadn’t mentioned Costia’s name. “How do you know her?”
“Holy shit. Lexa Woods.” Anya said and Clarke started to find this extra weird. “How do you all know this?” Clarke asked, getting impatient of not getting any answers on her questions. “I’m in here because of her.” 
“What? Because of Lexa?” Clarke asked softly, not believing what was happening. “Yeah but no. I mean she handed me over to the police.” 
“For what?” 
“I helped her out with her model career and money. One day she blamed me for stealing a huge amount of money of her. It stood on my bank account but I never transferred it. It was always a big question mark for me how that happened. But now it makes sense. Only Costia, me and Lexa could manage Lexa's money. Costia was always jealous of the bound Lexa and I had. I loved her.” Anya said soft and Clarke was quiet for some seconds. “Like a sister? Or what do you mean?” Clarke asked nervously and Anya laughed at the awkward situation. “Uhm both.” Anya said while scratching the back of her head and Clarke slowly nodded her head. “Cool.” She said and both of them were quiet for some time. Clarke wanted to know how Lexa felt about her now and it made her desire to talk to her bigger. Clarke's stomach twisted when she thought of what Anya had been through. The person she loved put her in jail for no reason. Of course Lexa thought she had a reason but Clarke believed Anya. She didn't know her for long but she did know what Costia was capable of. "So Costia is dead huh?" Anya asked to switch the subject. "Yeah." Clarke said and the image of her pushing Costia's dead body off of Lexa flashed in front of her eyes again. "I'll help you tomorrow. I've been long enough here to have an influence. I can help you get on the phone to talk with Lexa." Anya said and Clarke's eyes lit up. "Oh my God! That would be amazing! Thank you so much!" Clarke said and Anya shortly nodded at the blonde. "If you want, I can talk to Lexa about you. I think she would see that she was wrong too. Maybe they can reopen the case and you'll be free." Clarke said and Anya smiled. "I don't know about that. I mean freedom sounds good and all but you're here too. This is related to Costia. As long as Pike is here, we both won't get out of here. You need to fight hard to win here." 
"And I will. My lawyer is doing everything he can." 
"I hope. Let's first get you out of here and then we will see about me." Anya said and Clarke nodded slowly.  

Lexa's eyes slowly fluttered open. It took her a while to realise where she was and what had happened but fastly her eyes were searching for a blonde next to her. But she couldn’t find her. She could hear her heartbeat go faster and faster through the heart monitor while she kept on searching while hoping that the memory of Clarke getting taken away by the police was only a dream. Deep down she knew it wasn’t. “Hey Lexa. Calm down.” Lincoln said while he forced Lexa to look at him instead of searching for Clarke. Once her eyes met her brother’s, her breath started to slow down again. “Clarke.” She said and Lincoln nodded. “They took her but she will call you. Abby’s boyfriend is her lawyer and he told us she will call you to update you. She’s going to be fine and we will get her out.” Lincoln said and Lexa nodded slowly. All she could do now was waiting for that call.
