Kara

Jordan just stormed out and her flip flop emotions confuse me. Most of the time it seemed to be targeted at me. I don't understand it because I haven't done anything to her and I hardly know her. Yet at the same time she seems strangely familiar. She reminds me a lot of a friend I had when I was in high school. There was some kind of incident and my memories are kind of fuzzy. I can't quite make out her face but I knew that I loved her. Funny enough her name was also Jordan but this Jordan has a different last name so it can't be the same person.

"Is she always like that?" Alex asks Kenzie and she just sighs.

"Jordan had a lot happen to her in the past that made her this way but when you get to know her she's a big softy. She may not show it but she does care. A lot more than you know."She says glancing at me. "Just give her some time please." Kenzie tells us and I can tell by the look on Alex's face that she is skeptical.

"Look if this is going to work then she can't be off throwing tantrums." Alex says stern.

"I know but her being here is kind of hard. There's a lot of triggers here that she tried to run from but now she has to face it full on and she's not used to that." Kenzie says and we leave it at that. So instead we decide to get to know the goth girl a little bit better for a while.

It's very clear that she doesn't abide by the law. She is also the complete opposite of Jordan. Kenzie is very enthusiastic and animated. She's very funny too. Meanwhile Jordan is cold and dark and all she does is brood all day. It's adorable in a weird way. Kenzie says she's been through a lot and there's no doubt in my mind that's what made her this way. Yet there are a few moments where a crack in her walls forms and she seems brighter. For example her laughs are always genuine whether it's mocking us or not.

Jordan was without a doubt a very beautiful person. She had long and wavy sandy brown hair. Even though she always dressed like the main character off of the first watch dogs game it suit her very well. It was very different but it was her. The other thing about Jordan is her smile. She doesn't smile very often but when she does it's warm. I was so entranced the first time I saw her smile that Alex had to stop me from starring so much. Even though I've only known her for a week and a half I wish I could see that smile more often. I wish I could make her smile but it seems like the only person who can do that is Kenzie.

I've also seen the way they look at each other. It was filled with so much love and passion. Jordan has her sweet moments but all the other times she's cold as ice and she can be very blunt about things not sparing anyone's feelings. I wonder what kind of things she has been through to make her this way. I just don't know her well enough to ask.

I also hate to admit that I think I might have a crush on Jordan. It's something I shouldn't feel for her but I do. Especially because I'm pretty sure she's with Kenzie. So I know that we could never work. Suddenly we all hear the door open and Jordan walks in. She's much calmer now but I can still sense that there's something wrong. "Did you...?" Kenzie asks Jordan trailing off.

"Yeah." Jordan sighs frustrated. I wonder what exactly they are talking about but it's not my place to pry.

"Jay." Kenzie says sighing. It must of been something bad for Kenzie to react like this.

"Look I know." She says looking down then I can see her glancing at me in the corner of my eye. "Supergirl, can I talk to you for a minute? Alone." She asks and I nod my head. She goes into her office and I follow her. She shuts the door behind me. "I'm sorry for lashing out at you. I shouldn't have done that. You don't deserve that." She says looking in my eyes and I can see her eyes get glassy. She's trying to hold back tears. I can tell there's more that she wants to say but she's hesitant.

"Jordan, why do you get angry with me so much?" I blurt out. "Do you hate me?" I ask now feeling insecure. I don't know why I opened my mouth but I had to know.

"I could never hate you, Kara." She says with her face softening. I could tell that she was sincere.

"Then why do you act like it?" I ask her and I can feel a few tears slipping out. She looks at me and then reaches over to wipe away the tears. I lean into her hand. This was new but at the same time it felt so familiar.

"I'm so sorry. I never meant to make you feel this way. It's just..." she says pausing to think. "You remind me of someone that I used to care about a lot. Well I guess I still care about them and I have these complicated feelings and I'm taking it out on you. I shouldn't do that. I won't do that anymore." She tells me. I wonder what happened with that person?

"I'm not that person, Jordan." I say defensive and she pulls her hand away from me. "How do I know that you won't lash out at me again?" I tell her and she stills.

"I won't." She says firmly. I can hear it in her heartbeat and I can sense by her body language that she really doesn't want to do that again.

"Okay." I tell her. "Do it again and I'm done." I say stern.

"Gotcha." She says putting her hands up in surrender.

"Also you can call me Kara in front of Alex. She knows." I tell her and something tells me that she already knew.

"Okay." She says before walking out. I follow her into the main room where we clearly catch Kenzie and Alex flirting with each other and they don't seem to see us enter the room. "I think they like each other." Jordan whispers to me and I widen my eyes

"I thought you guys were together." I tell her and I can see that she's trying so hard not to laugh. Of course everything is a joke with her.

"She's like a sister to me. Nothing more nothing less." She whispers. "Ahem" Jordan says clearing her throat making the girls stop flirting and look at us.

"Oh look, the two lovebirds are back." Alex says jokingly but for whatever reason Jordan tenses. I know she's trying not to lash out. I wonder why. It was just a simple joke. Not only that it was a very common joke too.

"Jordan." Kenzie says carefully.

"Mhmm." Jordan hums while clenching her fist. She was going to blow any minute.

"I love you. You love me" Kenzie sings with an oversized smile and Jordan relaxes.

"Fucking, doofus." Jordan mutters and Kenzie smiles. Kenzie easily calmed Jordan down and it was something that I wish that I could do. Maybe one day.

"Step into my office." Kenzie says to Jordan who just scoffs.

"My office." She mutters.

"Our office." Kenzie says and Jordan rolls her eyes. They walk into the back room where Jordan and I just were. That just leaves me with Alex.

"So." I say smirking over to Alex. "You and Kenzie?" I ask her.

"She's funny." She says to me.

"You like her." I said teasing.

"Whatever." Alex huffs out and I laugh. She then joins in. I stop when I hear my name coming from Jordan's lips. "What is it, Kara?" Alex asks me.

"They're talking about me." I say quietly.

"Well. Eavesdrop." She says smacking my shoulder.

"You know I can't. That's invading privacy." I tell her.

"My sweet innocent Kara." She says teasingly and I glare at her. "I love you but screw the privacy." She says to me and I roll my eyes.

"Fine." I say sighing.
