Chapter 23: Missing Clarke

Sawyer woke up from her sleep in an uncomfortable position Peta's knees were lodged into the blondes back giving her pain. Sawyer groaned and rubbed her eyes before turning her legs over and sitting up on the bed 

She ran her fingers through the top of her hair and sighed thinking of the day that was to come. She took the hair tie out and let her hair fall flawlessly onto her shoulders. Getting up from the bed she walked over to the bathroom to splash some water on her face 

Sawyer looked at herself in the large mirror. Her face was slowly healing but some cuts and scars stayed persistent. She lifted her tank top to see tons of scars on her stomach. Sawyer never hated the way her body looked 

If anything she didn't think of it too much. She didn't hate her scars, she just hated the dark memories they came with and the emotional baggage they caused. Sawyer looked back up at her face

Her blue eyes really popped. Sawyer jumped in shock at the sound of Peta coming behind her "What are you doing?" the girl asked rubbing her eyes as the light filled them 

"Nothing honey" Sawyer said reaching down and lifting the girl. Sawyer smiled at the warmth that the girl gave her. Her thin legs wrapped around her stomach and her fragile arms wrapped around her neck while her body squeezed Sawyer

Sawyer carried the girl back to the bed and looked around seeing all the teens waking up. Sawyer laid Peta down on the bed and smiled as she moved her hair out of her face. She admired the girls freckles that covered her face

"Stop staring" Peta moaned out annoyed before turning over making Sawyer laugh at her bitterness. Sawyer turned her head and looked to see Clarke's bed empty. It looked like it hadn't even been touched either which confused the girl 

Shrugging she moved to the dresser and pulled out her clothes from yesterday getting ready to put them on. She smiled at everyone she passed while she headed to the bathroom to change her clothes 

Locking the stall she pulled down her sweatpants and pulled up the skinny jeans. Sawyer hissed in pain from her arm. Sawyer lifted the white bandage where her arm was patched with stitches from her breakout in quarantine. Moving on she grabbed the jean jacked and put it on before unlocking the door and heading back to her bunk bed for her shoes

"C'mon Peta wake up" Sawyer called out as she folded her pants and put them in the draw before throwing the sheet of Peta. She ignored Peta's groan and walked over to the next bed where Fox slept

"Wake up Fox" Sawyer said lightly shaking the girl. Both girls groaned before sitting up on the bed. "Your clothes" Sawyer said putting Fox's clothes next to her on the bed. She turned and put Peta's clothes on her side saying "And your clothes" 

"Get dressed" 

Both girls reluctantly got up and headed to the bathroom. Sawyer made their beds while they were gone. Sawyer always had so much going on in her head it was just constant screaming that she couldn't even comprehend 

Sawyer was brought back into reality at the sound of giggles. The girls were now behind her playing a game of rock paper scissors

"Hair time" Sawyer said standing up

Sawyer did matching braids in both their hairs while they talked and played games 

A bell sounded which indicated it was time for breakfast. Sawyer watched as all the teens walked out of the bunk laughing and smiling  

Sawyer walked holding Peta's hand while Fox walked right next to them. Entering the mess hall everyone lined up on the breakfast line grabbing plates. Sawyer grabbed one for her and the 2 girls and told them to go find a seat. They nodded and ran off while Sawyer filled their plates with different foods
