28 - New Year

"LET'S START THE PAARTYY!!" Octavia and Bellamy screamed together to the big group of people that came. Loud music started playing and people started dancing.

There was already a lot of them there, and Blakes said that it's not even a half. Lexa wondered where they wanted to put all of those people, but she soon stopped caring as Clarke handed her the first drink. She didn't recognize much of those who surrounded her, but she was focused on Clarke more.

How the red dress perfectly fitted her smooth body. How the red lipstick matched with the dress, making her look even hotter. How her eyeliner only emphasized the endless ocean in her blue eyes. How her blonde locks were bouncing with her to the rhythm of the music. How she loved this girl endlessly, and no one could stop her from this feeling. No mother or surroundings.

Clarke noticed that Lexa stopped dancing and only frowned at her, knowing that her voice wouldn't get to Lexa's ears if she tried to speak to her. Lexa just smiled softly, still admiring the blonde's body, before she cupped her face, pulling her into a sweet kiss.

As she pulled away, still holding Clarke's face, she saw as the blue slowly showed up, mixing with her green.

They stood like that, just starring at each other, until someone bumped into them. Raven and Luna.

"Heyy, guys, what's uuup?" Raven asked slowly, grinning at them.

"Is she already drunk?" Clarke asked, looking at Luna, with one eyebrow raised.

"Me? Drunk? Pleeasee. I'm not drunk! We're having fuuun, right, Lun?" Raven answered, looking at Luna, that tried holding her, as Raven's knees were becoming weaker with every second.

"I'm gonna get her outside, maybe some fresh air will help her," Luna said, and they disappeared in the crowd.

"Another drink?" Lexa shouted to Clarke, pointing at her red cup. Blonde nodded and they headed to the kitchen.

Octavia stood there, talking with Lincoln. She was sipping from her cup. But she seemed considerably sober, as she was taking care of their little bar.

"Girls, heyy!" She raised her cup, as they both walked to her. "Are you having fun?"

"Depends. Raven had her fun for sure," Lexa smirked, already pouring some cheap beer herself and for Clarke.

"Yeah, we saw them on their way out." Lincoln nodded, smiling at the memory. "Do you think they'll be back?"

"I don't know," Clarke shrugged, taking her cup from Lexa. "There are still two more hours to midnight."

"Yeah, Raven should really slow down." Octavia nodded, sitting back in her chair.

"I don't think I wanna drink anymore. Perhaps some water, tho," they all heard Raven's a bit tired voice, as she and Luna walked in.

Octavia immediately slipped off the chair and got some clean cup for her with water. Raven drank it all with one big slurp.

They all started laughing as Raven cringed suddenly, and her whole face went green. Luna worriedly frowned, but Raven only pushed her away, as she stumbled to the bin, that was in the corner of room, and cleared her stomach contents.

"Are you better now, babe?" Luna asked, squatting down to her, trying to take hair out of Raven's face, stroking her back softly with other hand.

Raven leaned against the wall next to the bin, and nodded with closed eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine," she tried smirking, slightly.

"Someone has a weak stomach," Jasper noticed, as he walked into the kitchen. His cup was empty already.

"She's not spending every weekend like that, so obviously she's not used to that," Luna answered him, coldly. Jasper liked partying. Maybe just a little bit too much...

Raven finally stood up with help from Luna. She didn't even try to take another drink, she already felt shitty. Luna was really glad of that. She feared she might be not able to stop her, but as soon as she doesn't even try it's all good.

They all, even Octavia and Lincoln, moved to the dance floor. The music was giving them a good vibe. The whole group suddenly gathered in one place, as they all danced with each other carelessly and chaotically, like there was no tomorrow. Though, tomorrow would come to them all, and none of them will be happy of how much alcohol they drank. But right now, right there they didn't bother to care, living their moment. It was New Year for God's sake!

"Ten, nine, eight..." The countdown was well heard through the whole house and even outside, as the music got quiet down. Everyone was staring at the clock, waiting to see as hands of clock turn into the next day.

Clarke and Lexa came outside to see the neighbor's fireworks. They held hands looking into the sky, until they started shouting with the crowd "Three! Two! One..."

Clarke pulled Lexa in for a kiss. The fireworks were popping loudly, but it all seemed quieter to them. They had their own fireworks going around their spines. Lexa slightly wrapped her arms around Clarke's waist for a stabilization, only deepening the kiss. As they pulled away, out of breath, their foreheads connected. The green met blue, finding its peace. New Year.

The party ended at around 3 am, but girls just stayed, sleeping together in some guest room. They both were so tired after the party ended and all people were gone, that before they really got into a bed, they were already asleep.

Waking up was for both of them awfully painful. Lexa's head was killing her, as she stood up to shut windows' curtains. She growled as she hit the frame of the bed with her foot. Lexa wanted to come back to sleep next to Clarke, but the blonde started moving and soon those blue eyes looked at her.

Even though she was starving and parched, her head was killing her and all her body was in pain from the whole night spent on the dancefloor, Lexa smiled before sitting on Clarke's edge of the bed.

"Good morning," she said, very, very quietly. She tried to avoid any light or sound for as long as she could.

"Morning," Clarke answered. Her voice was really raspy. But then she shut her eyes tightly and moaned in pain. "My head is killing me."

"Yeah, mine too," Lexa nodded, looking at Clarke's face. "Some aspirin would be helpful."

"And the glass of water," Clarke nodded, in agreement, and then with her eyes still closed, she stood up.

They both headed to the kitchen, holding their hands, tightly. There was only Luna, in some oversize shirt and boxers, that were slightly seen from under the shirt.

"Morning," Clarke and Lexa quietly whispered to her.

She turned, slightly frightened, to them with a big grin on her face.

"Good morning, girls," she said, loudly, what seemed like a scream for both of them. They frowned at the loud, painful greeting.

"Could you be quieter?" Clarke asked, through gritted teeth.

"Headache, huh?" she chuckled and handed them both meds and water. "I'm doing pancakes, you want some?"

"Yes, please. I'm starving," Lexa answered, after she drank the whole glass of water with one big sip.

A minute later all three of them were sitting at the counter, eating pancakes Luna made. Both, Clarke and Lexa, were so grateful for that.

"So," Clarke started, when her stomach was full, looking mischievously at Luna, "is this Raven's shirt?" She pointed her fork at Luna.

Red-haired girl blushed and smirked. "It is," she nodded, looking at it for a slight second, before returning her gaze to the girls.

Lexa smirked with her mouth wide opened. "Did you guys sleep together?"

"Yeah," she nodded again, grinning even wider.

They heard stumbling from the living room and then Raven showed up in the kitchen, with her jeans and bra on, but missing her shirt.

"Good morning," Raven mumbled, walking sluggishly to Luna. She leaned over her, pecking her cheek, and she stayed like that, hugging into Luna from behind. "I knew you were the one who has stolen my shirt."

"Good morning, Raven," Clarke answered, already smirking mischievously, as some silly idea already came to her mind. "Though, we didn't get a lot of sleep. It was very... noisy," she said, looking significantly at Raven. Lexa chuckled, slightly. They didn't hear anything, they drank so much, that nothing could wake up them. Clarke was obviously joking.

Raven's face froze in a clear fear. Luna stared for a moment at Clarke, not sure if Clarke was joking or not.

"I'm joking," Clarke laughed, looking at Raven and Luna's faces. Their expressions were hilarious. "We were too drank for you to wake us up."

Raven relaxed, but then she frowned again. "How do you know then?"

"Luna told us," Lexa answered, chuckling.

Raven's jaw dropped and she looked directly at Luna. "You told them?!"

"Told who what?" Octavia walked in with Lincoln. Everyone was now in the kitchen. Bellamy gone with Echo last night, so he wasn't home.

"Raven and Luna..." Raven fastly ran to Clarke and closed her mouth with her hand.

Octavia just frowned, but Lincoln smirked. "I actually heard, so..."

Raven's stared at him in shock, her all face went red.

"Heard what?" Octavia asked, confused. She grabbed pancake and shove it into her mouth, with a big smile.

"You were snoring, so you didn't hear, but Raven and Luna did it last night," he answered, shrugging. He walked to the cupboard and grabbed a glass.

Octavia looked at them, with a big, but happy shock.

"Can we stop talking about it?" Raven finally asked. She knew the news would spread out in their group fastly.

"Alright," Clarke finally nodded, as she saw how embarrassed Raven was.

They cleaned up home and all went out. Clarke and Lexa went in different directions. Lexa went alone to some shop, because she wanted to buy something, Clarke didn't question, while Clarke went with Raven to the cafe. The rest had their own matters and so the home was left clean and alone.

Girl obviously chose Trikru cafe, as it was probably the best in Polis. Cleaning up a whole house after New Year's party took them few good hours, so they got hungry. Trikru had amazing sandwiches with chicken, so now Raven and Clarke were waiting for their orders, sipping on their iced coffees.

"So, you and Luna, huh?" Clarke asked the question that was going all around her head since this morning. They were best friends, she was really happy for her.

"Yeah. We did." She nodded casually, looking away from Clarke's look. "Did you and Lexa..."

"No. We didn't yet," Clarke answered very dryly.

"I mean, you're guys together for like a few months now."

"Yeah," the blonde nodded. "But every time we make out someone or something interrupt us, before things get heated. And when we're alone it never seems like a right moment. I just... don't wanna rush it, you know--?"

"Yeah, I get it," Raven nodded, smiling slightly.

"Weren't you like, the first one to throw up yesterday?" Clarke chuckled at the memory of Raven sitting next to the bin.

"Yeah, I was. But it was like 6 hours before the party ended and Luna didn't drink that much so we were sober," Raven answered, nodding honestly. "I always thought it'd be really special or at least planed, but the way it was... was already amazing. And I don't regret that," she stopped for a few seconds, before looking right into Clarke's eyes again. "I love her."

Clarke smiled. Seeing Raven being finally happy was making her happy. Raven's life was never easy, so when it seemed that she finally found the right person, it made her believe, that maybe it really gets better.

***

It already got dark when they came back. Raven went to her house, Clarke to hers.  Abby wasn't home but Lexa was. Clarke opened the door to meet complete silence. She didn't find Lexa in the kitchen or in the living room. So she went straight upstairs to her room. She wasn't there either. But Clarke heard some noises in the bathroom, so she opened the door now a bit nervous. What she saw was about to change everything...

Updating soon. Take care guys <3
