A normal life
The sun was shining trough the curtains and reflected on Clarke's skin. She opened her eyes and blinked several times for her eyes to get used to the light. She groans when she hears her alarm ringing, she turns on the other side of the bed and turn it off. “Fuck!”
“Language, Clarke” Her mom shouts from the kitchen.
“Yeah, language, Clarke” Raven repeats.
“Screw you, Raven”
“Clarke” Her moms warns.
“Okay, okay, sorry” Clarke rolls her eyes and gets out of bed.
She walks into the bathroom and watch her reflection in the mirror. She looked like a zombie thanks to last night's party. Her head was pounding and she felt like she was about to pass out. She opens the tap and spalshes water on her face to wake herself up and make her vison a little bit clearer. She takes off her pajamas and let them fall on the ground. She jumps in the shower and let the hot water hit her body. She stands there for at least 15 minutes and think about how fucked up her life was since her dad is gone. She started drinking a lot since the accident. Raven was living with Abby and her ever since to look after her Clarke until she gets better, but it didn't and it still not better. Her mother wanted her to see someone but Clarke kept refusing always reminding her mother that she was okay and there was nothing to worry about. Of course Abby knew that wasn't true so she asked raven to move in for a little while and try to make her bestfriend feel better. Raven knew it wasn't going to be easy but she wasn't gonna let Clarke down not when she was a mess like that.
Clarke turns off the water and steps out of the shower. She stands in front of her mirror and watch her reflection once again.
“Get your shit together, Clarke.” She says slapping her face.
“Clarke! You'll be late” Her moms says
“I'm coming!” She answers. She glances one last time at the mirror.
She dresses up in skinny jeans and a white shirt, she grabs her backpack and walks down the stairs.
She goes to take her breakfast and sit with Raven. They both eat in silent until Raven breaks it “So. Who did you eat out yesterday?”
Clarke chokes on her waffle and her mom spits her coffee.
“Raven!” Clarke says surprised.
“I didn't eat out anyone, I just...drunk a little”
“A little? Look at you honey.” Her mom says a little bit mad. “You look like someone run over you.”
Abby's eyes don't leave Clarke and her face became serious. Clarke knew where this was going.
“Raven” Abby asks, catching Raven's attention.
“Can you give us a minute, please?”
Raven glances form Clarke to Abby and nods.
“I'll wait for you in the car, Clarke.” She gets out of the house and close the door behind her, leaving the two women alone.
“Mom-”
“No, Clarke.” Her mom interrupts her.
She sits next to Clarke an takes her hand in hers plunging her eyes in her daughter's.
“I know it's hard” Abby starts.
Clarke avoids eye contact with her mother and try to look somewhere else.
“Clarke, please look at me.”
She sighs and finally looks at her mother in the eyes.
“I miss him a lot too but...” She pauses and continue. “But we need to keep living, to move on. Your life is so much more than just drinking and going to parties, you-”
“YOU” Clarke says way too loud, anger in her eyes “You are the reason my life is a mess.” she pauses. “You are the reason dad died and you know it!”
Clarke was mad and nothing could calm her down at the moment. She stands up and walks toward the door.
“Where are you going?” Her mom asks looking at her daughter's back.
Clarke turns around to face her mom, anger still in her eyes. “Highschool, so my life can be more than just “drinking and going to parties” She opens the door and slams it behind her. Her mom stands here and watch her daughter leave. Even though Clarke was right, her words still hurt her. Jake died because of her. She knew it was the best decision because she had to save the others but she blamed herself everyday for it.
Jake died 4 years ago when he was out for hunting with Abby, they had to evacuate the cinema 'cause they were coming, these f*cking blood drinkers. They evacuated the people by the front door and the vampires where coming from the back door. Abby helped people get out and Jake told them to leave without her, she complained but he insisted and she had no other choice, it was him or all of them. Abby tried to explain Clarke that she had no other choice but Clarke still won't listen to her and the tention between the mother and daughter is still there.
Abby stopped being a vampire slayer the day jake died, she couldn't risk her life and her daughter's anymore, so they moved in a city they knew they would be safe.
Raven was leaning against her car when she saw Clarke walking towards her.
“Everything okay?” She asks.
“Yes” She answers coldly.
She gets in the car and sits in the passenger seat. Raven slowly sits next to her and turn her head to look at her friend.
“Clarke-”
“Can we go, I don't want to be late”
Raven opens her mouth to say something but nothing comes out. She starts the car and go.

“Why do I even have to go to school?” Lexa asks
She was laying against the kitchen counter and was looking at her big sister making two glasses “full of vitamins”
Anyas hands her a glass “Here, take one.”
“Thanks” She drinks it and then place it back on the counter.
“You go to school because I want you to have a normal life”
Lexa sighs and get off the counter to steal a waffle and waves it in front of her sister. “And eat normal food” She says with a mocking tone.
“Exactly” Anya answers with a serious tone.
“Okay” She clapes her hands and then glance at her sister.
“Let's take you to school before you get late” Anya says with a smirk causing Lexa to throw a towel at her face “Screw you” She laughs.
