You Get Me So High

Wow

Wow

Finally, Kara mustered the courage to break up with Jake, so I didn't have to manipulate her. My plan is working perfectly.

The second part of my plan will take time to work out but I always get what I want, no matter how long it takes.

A voice spoke from the void, watching over the scene before them.

Kara left Jake's house feeling horrible for hurting him but she knew if she wasn't honest with him, she'd break her own heart but that didn't make her feel any better.

She drove home, stuck in her thoughts. She wanted to get them out of her head but she couldn't talk to anyone, there were two people she could talk to but one of them was her best friend and she didn't know how to start this whole conversation. So she flew to Midvale to talk to Alex about everything.

Alex and Kara's Childhood Home

There was a knock at the door, Alex went to answer it to find her sister waiting for her.

"Kara, what are you doing here?" Alex asked in a surprised and happy voice.

"I broke up with Jake," Kara started.

"Oh-" Kara cut her off before she could get another word out.

"And I'm in love with Lena," She told her, Alex had no words except to move aside to prompt Kara to come in.

The sisters walked to the living room, where Kara caught Alex up on everything that happened recently.

"Wow, that's a lot. How long have you been feeling like this?"

"I'm not sure, I liked Lena but as a friend and I'm not sure when it shifted to true romantic love. But I've been slipping away from Jake for a while now and I guess I didn't notice. I don't want to hurt either of them, because if I get into a brand new relationship right away then I don't know what Jake will do but I want to tell Lena about how I feel and there's a possibility that if I tell her then it could ruin our friendship." Kara said, laying it out for her.

"I completely understand what you mean, but sometimes to follow your heart and to be true to yourself, you have to risk it all." Alex reasoned. Kara got up to grab them a snack.

"Here. I don't know what to do Alex." Kara said, handing a pint of ice cream to her sister on the couch before sitting down.

"What do you want to do?"

"I can't just immediately move on, it could really hurt him."

"But?" Alex says, taking a bite of her ice cream.

"But, Alex, you don't know what it's like to have someone know you down to your core, know what you're thinking before you think it, to be so in tune with you, to make you feel like you are the only person in the world, or to just be perfect sitting with her. We could sit in silence and it would be the best day ever because I am around her. When I see her, my heart skips a beat. Everything I have ever worried about just goes away," Kara explained her deepest feelings.

"And?"

"She is not like anyone I have ever met before, she makes me feel real and I don't feel like an alien or something abnormal. She makes it the greatest thing in the world, she makes me feel like I'm not some stranger on this planet but a person who truly belongs." Kara spoke fondly of her, reminiscing about every moment they spent together.

"Did Jake ever make you feel that way?"Alex asked, to help her decide if she made the right choice.

"I don't know," She says looking at her ice cream and moving it around. "Like something I was chasing after for so long is here but I liked him. In the beginning, I loved it, it was great and I loved his eyes and how he looked into mine. We used to be able to just be ourselves around each other but I feel restrained around him. But being with her has made me realize, what I had with him wasn't real. I wanted things he could never truly give me but things Lena gave me without even knowing I wanted it."
