I came to the ground being one of the 100s. Clarke Griffin kept an eye on me, they all did really. But for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to leave the camp site against Clarke's wis...

I sit criss crossed on the bed with my eyes planted in front of me. After Lexa kicked the guy off of the tower I couldn't even think straight. I can't wrap my head around why she did that. And as the meeting or whatever the hell it was, was going on I couldn't even listen. Honestly I wanted to bolt out of there just to get some peace and quiet. I was so glad when it finally ended because the instant it did I looked to Nik and asked if I could go to my room. He gladly, or well at least I think he was glad to take me back because he didn't hesitate to take me. And now here I am, sitting in my room staring blankly in front of me. I wonder how long it's been. It can't be long, at least I don't think so.
"Y/N?" I pick up my head and meet Lexa who stands at the foot of the bed. I clench my jaw and prop up my knees wrapping my arms around them. "You left pretty quick. Are you okay?"
"Fine," I said, looking back and forth between her eyes.
"From where I stand and how you behaved on behalf of what I did tells me something else," Lexa speaks and I nod at her, applauding her. My hands clap together before I drop my arms from around my knees and go back to sitting criss crossed.
"You're right. You are right Lexa. I'm not fine-" I pause a second seeing the girl shift a bit in her position but her head is still help up high. "You killed an innocent person!"
"Innocent? You think he was innocent?" Lexa asks but I only shrug my shoulders.
"I had no reason to believe otherwise! I don't understand when any of you speak in Trigedasleng! And plus even if he wasn't innocent, what right did you have to kill him like that?" My voice was rising. I quickly slide out of the bed I sit on and stand to the side staring directly at the commander.
"I killed him because my people were questioning me. I did it to send a message not only to my own people but to Queen Nia of Azgeda."
"Mm and you have to do that by kicking the guy off of a bloody tower?"
"You do not understand Y/N-"
"Then help me to understand Lexa!" I cut the girl off and continue. "You have killed so many lives! AND FOR WHAT?"
"It is our way of living. It's how we survive. Blood must have blood. It's all we've ever known-"
"Then change! YOU ARE THEIR HEDA! You're a bloody commander of 12 clans!" I pause a moment, clenching my jaw as Lexa stands staring at me. I only shake my head. "I get that you and the grounders have had your ways for so many years, but has it ever dawned on you that maybe it should change? Aren't you sick of all the killing? The fighting? Don't you think life...Life should be more than just surviving?"
Lexa rises her head and I can't help but notice something sparkle in her eyes through the tears that gather in my own.
"You are upset."
A laugh escapes my lips as I blink my eyes and toss up my hands. Tears overwhelm my eyes as I turn back to the green eyed girl. "That's your response? That's your response to everything I just said? Wow Lexa...Wow."
