Kara & Lena (english version)

8

Kara's POV

I was preparing everything for the movie while we were waiting for the order. But I suddenly felt a chill again and flashbacks of the Phantom Zone appeared before my eyes. All of a sudden I had another hallucination of being trapped in a capsule and having everyone abandon me. I was alone and-

My hallucination was interrupted by the doorbell. Luckily.

I tried to forget all this fear and pretended that nothing had happened, but Lena was already looking at me.

"Kara? Are you all right?", she asked worriedly. I nodded. But Lena didn't buy it. She let it go, though, and went to open the door.

We sat down on the couch and I started the movie. We were silent while I ate my potstickers and she ate her noodles.

In the middle of the movie, I got a little tired and tried to lay down on the couch without disturbing Lena. When she saw what I was up to, she picked up a pillow, put it on her lap, and patted it. She smiled invitingly at me and I accepted it, resting my head on her lap.

During the movie, she gently played with my hair and I loved this new closeness. But when the movie was almost over I heard Lena whispering slowly: "I know you are hiding something from me, Kara." I heard the sadness in her voice. I turned my head to her and our eyes met. "I just don't want you to worry, Lena."

"Okay", Lena broke our eye contact and continued watching the movie. I sat up straight again and did as she did.

After the movie, I turned off the TV and Lena stood up. "It's late, I'd better go home," she said expressionlessly.

I looked at her and knew that I didn't want her to leave. I was afraid to be alone and wanted her with me in case I had another hallucination. No, I just wanted her to stay even if I didn't have hallucinations.

"Lena, please stay... I... I don't want to be alone," I begged her. My voice broke for a moment. And my hands started to shake.

Lena noticed it and she was immediately worried, you could almost see alarm bells in her eyes.

"What's going on, Kara? Does it have something to do with the fact that you were so pale in the face earlier?"

I took a deep breath and looked into her eyes. "I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm having daydreams or hallucinations from my fears in the Phantom Zone. I'm either trapped in a capsule or somewhere in the Al all alone, abandoned by everyone. I know I will never see you again and have no one left. I-it's a cruel feeling.... everyone I care about is gone. And then it feels like a cold goes up my spine and I see Phantoms for a split second..." I fell silent. Lena's eyes were filled with tears again, but none rolled out.

She took my hands and squeezed them gently. "I'm sorry, Kara. Of course, I'll stay here with you. Have you already told Alex?" I shook my head.

"You'd better tell her, Kara."

"I don't want to worry her, Lena, besides, I have another checkup with her tomorrow where I have to run tests, then I'll know if everything is okay or not."

"Okay," she said only half-convinced.

"I'll sleep on the couch, if you need anything, call me, okay?" said Lena as I handed her a pair of pajamas.

"What? No way. You sleep in the bed and I sleep on the couch," I reported with my arms crossed. Lena looked at me with amusement. "No, Kara, you slept on the couch yesterday and you need to rest. I'll sleep on the couch and you in bed."

"Out of question!"

"Do you want to discuss here all night who sleeps where?" asked Lena rolling her eyes. I looked at her thoughtfully and then looked at the bed. My bed was quite big and we fit in it without lack of space.

"And have you decided Kara?"

"Ehm yes. Since we both want the other to sleep in the bed, shall we ehm... shall we both sleep in my bed? It's big enough for both of us and we are best friends. That's okay, right?", I asked shyly.

"Eh, yeah, sure we can do that," Lena answered.

And here is chapter 8, it's not that great, but I hope you liked it anyway :)
