Another Family (CLEXA AU)

6)Phone Call Fall

An: I'm sorry it took so long for me to update this story. I honestly had no idea anyone was even reading this.

Ever since my date with Lexa I haven't been able to get her out of my head. I don't know why I would even want her out of my head but If I ever did I think it would be impossible. Our date was amazing not just because of the secret winter wonderland, but also because of Lexa's amazing company. I can't get over how amazing Lexa is as a person. When she told me about how Aden was made I can't even describe what I was feeling. Lexa never wanted to be with a man in that way but some awful man didn't seem to care. I mostly just wanted to find out who the hell would do that to Lexa and hunt them down and strangle them to death. Not only is that a horrible thing to do to anyone, but Lexa was also technically a minor at that time too. Even just thinking about that made me want to throw up. I think Lexa telling me about Aden's father gave me a better understanding of their relationship though. Aden is a living reminder for Lexa of that nightmare of a day for her. The fact that she kept Aden is impressive in itself and I have a tremendous amount of respect for her not only as a person, but as a mother.

It's only been a day since our date but we haven't scheduled another yet which honestly makes me feel a little uneasy. I thought it went really well but maybe Lexa doesn't like me. Part of me wants to ask her out again but I don't have the confidence for that. Lexa's the CEO of Firestorm, not to mention one of the richest, most brilliant, and most successful people on this planet. We aren't even remotely in the same league. I'm just some freelance writer with no big achievements in my life. I guess that's why she hasn't called me back. I'm not good enough for her.

I was sitting at the kitchen table eating some grapes when I heard my phone start to ring. I looked at the screen and saw it was Lexa calling me. I immediately started panicking and my entire body froze. I couldn't believe my eyes. Two or three rings went by and I was finally able to snap out of my temporary trance to go and reach for my phone but when I picked it up it slid out of my hands and fell on the floor under the kitchen table.

"Shit." I mumbled, moving to bend down and pick it up but I accidentally bumped my head on the corner of the table on my way back up and cried out in pain. I moved my hand to where I hit my head and when I looked at it I could see there was blood everywhere. "Uh oh."

I looked down at my phone in my other hand and realized it was probably on the last few rings so I quickly answered so it wouldn't send Lexa to voice mail.

"Heyyy." I said awkwardly as I answered the phone mentally reprimanding myself.

"Clarke?" Lexa asked, sounding quite amused by my greeting. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine, it's just a bit of blood. How'd you know I was bleeding?"

"What?! You're bleeding? What happened Clarke?"

"Well I saw you called so I went to pick up my phone but it turned into a slipper in my hand. Wait no, it slipped out of my hand. You know like the soap in the shower. I wasn't singing into my slipper though. I mean my phone. Or my soap. I actually don't sing at all. Torture is illegal in this country and I wouldn't make anyone listen to that. Anyways when I grabbed the soap slipper and stood up I hit my head on the corner of the table and now there's blood everywhere."

"Oh my god Clarke I'm coming over right now. You clearly hurt your head very bad. Don't move around a lot, you clearly aren't 100% mentally stable right now." Lexa ordered from the other end of the call.

"Don't worry Lexa. I can't do much moving if I'm unconscious."

"What? Unconscious? Clarke? Please try and find a place to sit down right now."

I tried to do as Lexa asked and attempted to walk to the couch but I got super dizzy all of the sudden.

"I'm going dow-"
