LEXA POV
It's been a week since I last saw Clarke at the cafe. Looking at her, she seems happy and fine. She has moved on, clearly. Even though it hurts, it was my fault she got her heart broken. Hell, her life was broken because of me. It's like I took away purpose from her that she even stopped looking back to where she came from. I was selfish. Only thinking about myself, about what I feel. I thought I was the only one losing Clarke. But instead, the whole family lost her too.

It's Sunday, so it means the whole family are together for a brunch. It became a tradition since all of us are so busy during the week, brunch on Sundays are mandatory for catching up and making sure everyone's fine.

We were all gathered at Abby and Marcus' backyard when Raven, Octavia, Anya and Luna came near me.

Raven: So are we going to tell them?

Me: tell them what?

Octavia: About Clarke.

Me: What? Infront of everyone?

Octavia: Yea, what's wrong about that?

Anya: Maybe because we should tell her mom first right?

Luna: And as much as I love this family, the whole delinquents and their parents are here. If I'm Clarke's mom, i'd like to know my daughter is back privately first rather than announced to the whole squad.

Abby: Clarke's back?

We turn around and see Abby was standing near us, food tray in her hands. She then dropped it. So everyone looked to us, and the music stopped.

Abby: What do you mean Clarke's back?

Abby was speaking in a higher tone and louder volume. Marcus came near and hold Abby.

Marcus: What's going on?

Abby: They said Clarke's back.

Abby was already in tears and Marcus just wraps her in a hug. The five of us were speechless. Not knowing what to say or do. The rest of the group came around us, wanting to know if they heard what Abby said was true.

Marcus: Girls, you know this is not a good joke. Is Clarke really back?

We still remained silent. Just staring at Marcus and Abby.

Bellamy: Okay, maybe if we all calm down, go sit down or go home. We all want to know if Clarke's back but maybe this is a discussion of the family first.

I look at Bellamy and mouthed a 'thanks'. He nodded. Then everyone agreed it's the right decision so everyone left and were saying to call them if we need anything. The only ones left were Abby, Marcus, me, Raven, Octavia, Anya and Luna, since we were the one who saw Clarke.
