“Ugh fuck this.”
Lexa throws her phone across the hotel room, too frustrated to care if it breaks. Ever since her and Clarke broke up, paparazzi has been up their asses. They’re always hypothesizing the real reason behind her and Clarke’s break up. She never can have a free moment without her phone buzzing away with updates on her own damn life. Breaking news this. Breaking news that.
Lexa never minded the spotlight before. Her and Clarke’s relationship started before they were thrusted into the limelight. They met the summer before their senior year. Lexa had just moved from to Manhattan. She was newly emancipated and managed to scrape together enough money to make a move to a small dingy apartment. Clarke was in the foster care system as well. Her father died when she was 14. Her mother was responsible and died of an overdose a few months after being sentenced to 16 months for involuntary manslaughter. So yeah, neither girls had an easy childhood.
They met in their school’s choir room. Clarke kept mostly to herself except for her best friend Raven. During lunch periods, Raven would be holed up in the library studying for her APs and college level courses. Meanwhile, Clarke would spend most of her free time alone in the choir room, writing songs and trying them out on her beat up ole' guitar - the only she had left of her father. And that’s exactly where Lexa’s ears were graced for the first time with the most pleasant of sounds she’s ever heard to this day.

6.5 Years Ago
It’s Lexa’s second week at Polis High School. It’s not a bad set up here. There’s no bars on the windows and she doesn’t have to worry about offending someone by making eye contact. Her last school still leaves her with nightmares. Lexa was always a soft spoken sweet girl. She was never made for the foster care system. So the brunette girl with adorably frizzy curls got herself emancipated as soon as she could. Since her old school barely checked attendance after first period and Lexa already knew everything that was being taught, she would sneak out after her first period English class and work a long grueling shift at one of her three jobs. Sometimes on weekends, Nyko, the owner of a hole fancy nightclub up the street from her foster home, would pay her under the table to come and bus tables when his girls were out. Most of the bar patrons were handsy old rich men who would grab her ass and pull her close to shove a 10 in her pocket. When their hands lingered for too long, she politely pushed them away and continued to clean off the table. The pay at Nyko’s was better than all of her jobs combined so she put up with it. Lexa always felt like she needed 5 showers after working a shift.
At the end of the day though, it was all worth it. She was out of the system she despised so and making a better life for herself. Lexa was exploring the school halls during her lunch period when she heard the voice of an angel singing the words of a surely battered but still fighting soul. Whoever was singing was a survivor just like Lexa. She could feel it in her bones.
“Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me? Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me? Do the people whisper 'bout you on the train like me? Saying that you shouldn't waste a pretty face like me?”
Lexa followed the echoes of the voice which led to the most stunning human she’s ever laid eyes on. The girl had soft golden tresses framing her angelic face. The girl was looking down with her eyes closed, strumming her guitar and humming along to the beat of her song. This girl clearly lived for the music. Her whole body seemed to come more and more alive with each melody leaving her pouty oh so kissable lips. Lexa felt a pull to her unlike no other.
“You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being. With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline.”
The words hit Lexa in the chest like a train barreling full speed ahead. The girl in front of her was so beautiful yet so broken. She was surviving on the strings of her guitar and strength of her character. Lexa was fascinated by this girl but it wasn’t until the blonde opened her eyes and Lexa became acquainted with the most piercing blue of her life that she realized that she was a goner. Whoever this mystery angel was had stolen her heart at the first strum of her guitar and hum of her husky vocal chords.

Lexa’s phone beeps again and the brunette reluctantly pulls herself off the uncomfortable hotel room couch and away from her thoughts to answer whoever is texting her. It’s Anya.
Anya Forrest became one of Lexa’s only true friends in the world of the rich and famous. Lexa met her at an after party celebrating the release of her first big film “The Flame” when she was 19 years old. Back then, Anya was a new up and coming fashion designer. Now, she’s owner of a multi billion fashion enterprise. Not that those type of materialistic things mattered to Lexa. Anya was like an older sister to Lexa, making sure she didn’t get sucked into the darker world of the rich and famous. And for that, Lexa is forever grateful.
From Anya: Hey Lexa. How’s the movie shoot going?
To Anya: Pretty good. Sorry I couldn’t make it out to your fashion show this past weekend. Scheduling has been so tight lately. I’ve barely had a moment to breathe.
From Anya: That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about.. Clarke was there…
Lexa’s heart stops beating for a second. This is the first real, viable information she has on her ex since their breakup. Clarke has gone off the radar. Lexa has been consumed by nerves, worrying that one of these days she would get an update from a gossip rag stating that her ex was mixed up in some real trouble or worse..
To Anya: Oh.
To Anya: How did she look? Is she ok Anya?
From Anya: Well that’s the thing Lex..your girl has looked better.
To Anya: What do you mean?
From Anya: I mean that she was with the lead singer of The Arkers and she looked like she was nursing a pretty bad hangover.
Oh no shit. This is exactly what Lexa was terrified of. Clarke has had her fair share of struggles with addiction. Lexa has helped her cope with it in the past and she’s been clean for about 2 ½ years now. When Lexa heard from Raven that Clarke was out drinking and partying after the break up, her heart sunk. This was all her fault. She tried reaching out to Clarke but Raven said that only made matters worse and politely asked her to give the blonde some space. Lexa has kept her distance but it has been driving her insane not being able to talk to her ex.
To Anya: God. Anya don’t tell me you think she’s using again.
To Anya: I’m going to call her right now.
From Anya: Are you sure that’s wise Lex? I know you still love her but you cheated on her. If she’s hurting she’s not going to open up to you.
Lexa deeply sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.
To Anya: You don’t think I know that?! I ruined our 6 year relationship. I fucked it all up and I couldn’t be more sorry. But she might be having a relapse! I can’t just sit here a do nothing.
From Anya: You’re driven to fix everything. But there are something things that are out of your control Lex. If she doesn’t want to talk to you, then you have to let it be.
From Anya: I love you Lexa. I just don’t want to see either of you hurt. If you do decide to call her, I just want to warn you that I think she’s seeing Octavia Blake, that chick from The Arkers. They were really touchy at the fashion show. Blake has quite the reputation too so it worries me that Clarke is spending time with her.
Almost at the same moment as she gets that text from Anya, Lexa gets an gossip update about her ex (shocker).
BREAKING NEWS: Indie singer/songwriter Clarke Griffin was recently spotted out with The Arkers infamous lead singer Octavia Blake. Is love in the air?
Lexa wanted to cry. She didn’t want to imagine the love of her life with someone else but it’s her fault they’re in this mess. It’s her fault that her and Clarke are done. It’s her fault Clarke might be dating this Octavia Blake person. And if Clarke is using again, well that’s her fault too. Anya keeps telling her that she’s human and she makes mistakes. That she can’t blame herself for everything that ever goes wrong in Clarke’s life from this point forward but she does. Because if she didn’t cheat, everything would be okay. If she didn’t cheat, that ring she bought a year ago wouldn’t be burning a hole in her sock drawer. If she didn’t cheat, she would still go to bed with Clarke in her arms and wake up in the morning to blonde hair messily splayed all over her face. If she didn’t fuck up like she always does she would still have Clarke Griffin in her life, carrying her heart just as she carried hers. But she did fuck up and destroy everything. And now Lexa Woods is left to pick up the pieces. Is it all too far gone though?
