I don’t….Wtf??

‘madi,’  his  voice  sticks  in  his  throat,  jagged  around  the  edges,  not  quite  as  heavy  as  it  had  been  that  night,  but  still  weighted.  with  guilt,  maybe.  guilt  she  wasn’t  the  first  he  told.  guilt  he’d  told  her  clarke  was  dead  in  the  first  place.  (  it  wasn’t  the  first  time,  after  all,  that  he  had  mourned  clarke  griffin,  had  it?  it  wasn’t  the  first  time  he  had  been  wrong.  )  he  knows  how  he  had  felt,  knows  what  it  feels  like  to  lose  a  part  of  him  ⏤  again.  

Helena wasn’t supposed to be down here. Lexie and Harry-God, the thought that they were the mayors now still felt like a big joke, a ‘Gotcha!’ that hadn’t dropped yet-had made the punishment for doing so severe. But she needed answers. She had a feeling Luke wasn’t being honest, but how did she know Allie would be truthful? God, she’d had tea with Allie only a day ago. And now here they were.

with  a  near  two  year  old  on  his  hip,  a  towel  draped  across  his  shoulder,  and  drool  on  his  chest,  it’s  safe  to  say  bellamy  isn’t  expecting  anyone  for  company  today.  which  is  why  the  sound  of  his  door  opening  and  closing  is  a  tad  worrisome.  he’s  never  actually  had  someone  break  in  to  his  apartment,  but  there  is  a  first  time  for  everything.  once  upon  a  time  he  might  have  grabbed  a  baseball  bat  out  of  the  closet  for  protection,  but  today  he  grabs  a  baby  bottle.  which  is  definitely  not  ideal,  but  he’s  got  a  pretty  mean  arm  and  his  aim  isn’t  half  bad.  he’s  got  this.

Helena shook her head and walked purposefully out of the church. This was all bullshit to her. How could Luke do that? She didn’t stop walking until she’d reached the clinic, at which point she opened the door and stepped inside. Becca and her baby were sleeping. She just, needed a quiet place to think.

okay, this is something i’ve wondered about FOREVER. thank you for researching this and writing it out.
