CLARKE POV
I went to bed after the celebration. It felt weird the Lexa just left without saying goodbye. My head was pounding so I decided to go to sleep early.

I hear my phone ringing. I check the clock on my nightstand and it's 11pm. I grab my phone and see it's Lexa. I quickly answer it.

(Phone call)

Me: Lex, what's up?

Lexa: Clarke?

I hear her sobbing through the phone. I knew something was wrong. And I look outside and it was raining. I panicked

Me: Lex? Where are you? What's wrong?

Lexa: I- I'm at the end of our street. I don't..i don't know who else to call.

Me: I'll be there princess, wait for me.

I quickly jumped from my bed not realizing i was only in my boxers and loose shirt without a bra. I grab the leather jacket from Lexa and some towels from the linen room on my way out knowing Lexa will be soaking wet and cold from the rain. I drive off quickly to Lexa's street and I was on the verge of crying when I see her there sitting alone with all bags beside her. I ran to her.

 I ran to her

Me: Oh Lexa. Come here.

I pull her to a tight hug. She was sobbing. We both didn't care about the cold rain. We were just hugging there. When Lexa was calming down a bit, i look at her.

Me: hey princess, i'm here. And as much as i want to shower in the rain with you, it's freezing. We should go home.

She chuckles at me and I wipe her tears. I walk her to the passenger seat and I carry all her bags to the back of the car. I grabbed all the towels I was able to get and dry her off. I wrapped 1 dry towel around her body so she wont get cold and draped my jacket to her.

She looks at me smirking

Lexa: nice outfit, commander

I look down and can see almost every part of my body because i was soaked with rain and I was wearing a loose white shirt and some boxers. I covered myself with a towel and blushed.

Me: sorry i forgot to change.

We drove off to my house silently. When we arrived, I see her asleep. So I slowly carried her bridal style inside the house. I plan on getting her bags tomorrow.

When I put her slowly to couch near my bed, she opened her eyes. I smiled at her and asked her to shower first and change so she won't get sick. She nods. I went to get some clean towels and some sleeping clothes for her to wear. She nods without looking at me and just went to my bathroom. I sit on the floor face palming and sigh, thinking what the hell happened to her.
