You're the reason

Chapter 1

"Kara when are you going to get a job??"

"listen Alex there's this club I'm going to audition for it tonight, actually! If all goes well I'll be playing there every night!" She got off of Alex's couch and walked past her to grab a drink from the fridge. "Is it that club off of main st.??" Alex said pointing over her shoulder, referring that the street was behind her apartment.

Kara's shoulders tenses "yyyyes" she said under her breath. "What I can't hear you when you mumble!" Alexa hand shot up to her ear as she leaned closer as if to hear Kara clearer. "Fuck! Yes Alex. And Stop sounding like Mom!" Kara whipped around and snapped at Alex.

"Listen, I trust you but just be careful that's a very dangerous club to go to. Gangsters and drug lords and god, for all I know Al Capone could hang there."
Alex said protectively. "I know Alex. But this could be our big break."
"Okay" Alex sighed defeated knowing once Kara's mind is set there's no changing it.

"Alex I'm going to head over to Winn's so we can get more practice before tonight." She said grabbing her trumpet case heading out the door.

"Okay be safe let me know how tonight goes!" She waved Kara out the door.

Kara closed the door and whipped out her trumpet and slung the case over her head and shoulder so it sat on her body like a messager bag. She lifts the trumpet to her lips playing what ever came to her head. The tune blending well together like she had practiced the whole song. She laughed as she slid down the circle stair case and past the door man, who waved her a good bye. As she walked down the street, she took out her hat and put it so it covered her eyes she you couldn't make out the blue orbs.

She started dancing along with her music tapping her for and shaking her hips and shoulders her body moving in time with the smooth trumpet. She felt her tie tight around her neck as she loosened it she collided with what felt like a wall. "Ow what the hell!?"
Kara was suddenly brought out of her dancing day dream realizing she hand knocked a woman down. She looked at the woman on the ground. "Oh hey my bad you know how it is when you get into the music you sort of loose yourself." She reached for the woman to help the raven haired woman up. "You messes up my hair." She snapped as she helped herself up.

"Hey listen I'm sor-" Kara stuttered as the woman too down her hair into a beautiful long river of dark hair Kara could get lost in.

The woman reached out her hand "lena, and you are?" She smiled her soft smile

"H-hi Kara, I-I'm lena." Lena laughed and Kara realized that she messed up her greeting. "No wait I'm Kara and you're lena. I'm not lena. Although lena is a very pretty name." Kara was a stuttering mess.

"Wow you catch on fast I see" she teased. Kara's face was red like tomato red.

"So musician, play something for me?" Kara smiled but sadly she realized she was late to meet with Winn.

"I'd love to but I can't. I mean I can play but I'm late for a meeting. Um with my friend we're gonna rehearse before a big audition tonight." Kara babbled

"Aw that's too bad. Maybe another time" Lena winked as she walked away.

Kara looked at her watch and realized she would be very late if she didn't hurry and Winn loves when things are on time with he schedule. In other words he doesn't like lateness.

She started walking faster after she decided to put away her trumpet knowing it would be better that getting lost in her own music again.

"Hey Winn sorry I'm a little late the- the streets were really busy." Kara said nervously

"Hey it's alright you're only like, 4 minutes late. That's nothing compared to last week when you fell asleep and came like an hour late" he chuckled.
"Hey! That was that night we were literally up till 3am doing a gig! You can't blame me for that!"

"Okay okay got me there I was still pretty tired"

They practiced for a couple hours till Kara said that they should probably head over and set up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were waiting in line as other bands went in and came out looking just torn apart like someone broke they're dreams and laughed in they're face. Kara over heard one of the bands getting kissed bc they didn't let the woman in they're group in to play. Kara looked at Winn nervously. She started feeling a pit grow into her stomach as more people came out crying. She was starting to feel very small. Till Winn leaned over and whispered "hey if you're seeing what I'm seeing then we gotta be 10x better then we practiced. We and try to look like a man. So here" he tucked in her hair and popped her collar and pulled down her slacks to give the impression of a male body.

"Gotcha"

"NEXT KARA AND WINN!" The big bouncer yelled looking at his clipboard.

"Let's get it." Winn whispered. As Kara approached the big guy she said "listen we dropped Kara but my names- um my names Clark so if you could fix that on the sheet that'd be great man!" She said in a deep male voice as she slapped the guys arm and as they walked past she looked to Winn "how'd I do?"

He shrugged "could have been better"
"K fuck you too buddy"
He just chuckled
