Midvale High

Chapter 20

4 days have passed...

Tomorrow was Lionel Luthor's funeral. Lena didn't go to school for the past 4 days, the main reason being, to avoid the public.

Word got out that the infamous Lionel Luthor had passed away, which practically meant, reporters and every news channel, had been swarming their house, trying to get some sort of information. But that didn't stop Kara and Winn from going over to her house every day after school.

Kara was tapping her foot impatiently against the floor board, she couldn't wait to get out of this class. Art was usually her favourite class, but the class was dragging on, for what seemed like forever.

She wanted to see Lena already, she knew that Lena was nervous and scared about tomorrow. She knew how confronting it can be, to go to a funeral.

Going to a funeral, was like accepting the fact that the person who you love, was gone. That things from then on, were going to be different.

"Isn't this like, your fifth drawing of Lena this week?" James interrupted Kara's thoughts. Kara snapped out of her thoughts and looked down at the drawing, she didn't realise that she was drawing Lena, in all honesty, she didn't know she was drawing at all. Her face went red when she realised that she was drawing a sleeping Lena.

Kara could tell how tired Lena has been, she was barely sleeping and barely eating. It made her heart clench at the thought of Lena waking up in the middle of the night from a nightmare.

Last night, Lena had fallen asleep on her shoulders when they were watching a movie, so Kara carried Lena upstairs and tucked her in. She wanted to stay and chase the demons that were dwelling in the depths of Lena's mind, but she couldn't.

Lex and Lillian were still sceptical about Kara, especially Lillian. Lex understood that Kara was helping his little sister, he had been watching his sister for the past few days and the only time Lena smiled or face lit up, was when she was with Kara.

Lillian on the other hand, apparently didn't like the idea of Lena having a girlfriend, she believed that Kara was only manipulating her to get into the family mansion.

Lena had multiple fights with her mother about this, and it only added to her stress. Kara didn't want to add to Lena's worries, so she avoided Lillian at all costs, which usually meant that she couldn't stay over.

Kara closed her artbook with a flustered face, "Pssssshhhh, no", not many people knew that Kara and Lena were dating.

James had his suspicions, "Does Miss Danvers have a crush on Lena?" James teased, he loved teasing Kara about Lena, her face always turned bright red whenever he mentioned her name.

Kara buried her head in her hands with embarrassment, she could feel her face reddening at the mention of Lena's name, she didn't know why she was acting so flustered, "Dontyouhavesomethingbettertodo"

James couldn't understand a single word that Kara was saying, "Can you repeat that? Preferably with you head out of your hands"

Kara lifted her head up, "Don't you have something better to do?"

James laughed, "Probably, but I prefer teasing you. It's a lot more entertaining", Kara was like a little sister that he never had. He spent more and more time with her and Winn.

Kara rolled her eyes, she wasn't sure how she and James had gotten so close, "I'm glad you find this so amusing"

James shook her head with amusement, he took another look at Kara's face and noticed how pale she was, "Hey" he gently touched her shoulders causing Kara to look up at him while tilting her head, "I know that you're taking care of Lena and all... but make sure your taking care of yourself"
