"You just kept lying, kept deceiving me."
"That was never the goal, but-"
"Intentions don't matter when the outcome carries the same devastation, Clarke. What was the endgame here? The exposure you'd get from taking my pictures or better yet, being pictured by my side? Money? Is that what you want?"
Born as Alexandria Evergreen, but known to the world as ALEX.
Alexandria's story is as familiar as can be in many ways. A classic small-town girl with a big dream to become a famous singer. Just another kid who found fame too young, got everything she ever wanted, and turned into a diva because of it. The millionth girl who let fame go to her head and clearly thinks herself better than others because of the number of followers on her social media page. The one everyone either wants to be or wants to be with. Right?
But not everything is as it seems and maybe being known and adored by millions isn't all it's cracked up to be. It can't be, because if it were, wouldn't it feel different?
Once again I will be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant to the story. Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any.
TW: Strong language, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual content, panic attacks, mental, emotional, and physical abuse, rehab.

The Commander's Tower
"You cannot be serious. You can't make me - us do this!" Lexa exclaims. That wasn't quite true and Lexa knew it. They could make her do whatever they wanted as long as it was legal. It did not need to be moral. That's something that was Lexa's own fault. She had signed her life away for the second time in her twenty-seven years of existing, making just that possible. "Oh, come on, sweetheart, don't hurt my feelings now. Dating me wouldn't be that bad. I am a great girlfriend," Clarke responds instantly, sounding genuinely offended, a little hurt, and definitely mocking. "Actually, you'll find that we can make you do this and much more. I can hand you the contract you signed of your own volition if you'd like to confirm," the producer says seriously. And there it was. Lexa resented that she had already thought of that little fact, but no matter her feelings about it, she'd have to do it regardless. "Besides, this will help both of you boost your odds of staying in The Tower. The viewers have been going wild for you two online after your last challenge." Everyone who had been selected to participate in The Commander's Tower had their own reasons for being there. Some were more honest about those reasons than others. But it all came down to one thing: the money. -- As per always, I will be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant to the story.

Written in Blood
I did the one thing I promised her I would never do, no matter what, and now she hates me. She absolutely despises me and she's doing everything in her power to make my life a living hell, even if she hurts herself in the process. Even if it gets her killed. Not that my life wasn't a living hell before she started on her quest. It was. It has been ever since she left me and took my heart with her. Ever since she's turned into one of us.

~ I realise that we're completely different. That I may look tough, but in fact I'm weak. And that she may look sweet, but she's the bravest girl I've ever seen. ~ Clarke is the perfect student and she comes from rich but messed up family. Lexa is the rebel one, but her private life is far better than you might think (or is it?) Could they be more opposite? And is there any possibility they would find a way to each other? This is my first story ever so don't expect any miracle haha.. if you like it, don't forget to vote, comment and share! Just one more thing - I apologize for my English, I'm not a native English speaker. !trigger warning: domestic violence, violence in general, if you're sensitive to topics like those, please be safe!Complete
