Second Chances
I remember that day so vividly. Titus, that idiot, dropped the gun after realizing what he had done. Lexa fell to the floor. Titus helped me rush her to the bed, Her body was cold as ice, and her dark blood seeped through my hands. Murphy was tied up in the corner, one eye swollen shut. So I took pleasure in ensuring that Titus got all he deserved for almost ending my entire world. Because that’s what Lexa is to me, my whole universe wrapped up into emerald green eyes. Yes, I’d make sure he suffered. But right now I need to get to Arkadia’s med bay to be with my love.
She walks down the hall and outside from her old room to the medical bay. She doesn’t know how she feels about the pitying looks she gets from her supposed friends. I mean, what could she expect from people who treated her like shit from the moment they all stepped foot on the ground? The only person who even acknowledged her grief for what happened to Lexa was Murphy. But that was only after he had seen her tears and her anguish. As she walks into Lexa’s room she almost bursts into tears, her strong commander lying there as still as a statue and so small. It breaks her heart. Her mother told her that Lexa had been lucky. The bullet didn’t hit any of her major organs. But the amount of blood she lost was substantial enough for her to need to be put into a coma until they could find black blood somewhere and enough of it for her. All Clarke wanted was to go back in time to do something, anything to save Lexa. All she wanted was for Lexa to open those pretty green eyes. She told Abby that there were nightbloods who would be more than willing to save the commander. So she made arrangements for Gaia to bring the nightbloods to Arkadia so that they could give Lexa some of their blood. Why did this happen to us, Lexa? Why won’t they just let us be happy?
I was sitting at Lexa’s bedside when Abby came into the room to check her vitals. She tells me that Lexa is going to make a full recovery and that I shouldn’t worry too much. I don’t understand how she could say that. The love of my life is lying on a hospital bed, not moving. The only sign she’s alive is the slow movement of her chest. As Abby leaves, both Octavia and Raven walk into Lexa’s room.
"I had no idea that you and the commander shared that kind of relationship and if I had known I wouldn’t have given you that ultimatum, Clarke, Octavia says to me. All I can do is sigh. I don’t need this right now. All I need is for this nightmare to end. Then I feel Lexa’s fingers twitch next to mine. And I gasp. I tell Raven to get my mom immediately.
…………………………………………………
Mom, I thought you said she needed more blood. That she wasn’t going to wake up until she got blood.
I guess I was wrong Clarke, I mean it’s like she regenerated on her own or something. By the looks of it she should be waking up in a few hours.
I don’t let it show in my face but I am overjoyed with this news. I send a messenger back to Polis to tell Gaia that we don’t need any of the night bloods here because Lexa is recovering on her own.
............................................
It’s been almost 12 hours since my mom gave me the news that Lexa was going to wake up today. I sit by her bedside waiting anxiously for her eyes to open.
