Chapter 1 // The Wish

Lena whimpered and sat down on her bed. She hugged her knees and looked at her discarded shoes on her carpet. Today had been a hell for Lena. It all started in the morning.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Lena! You are going to be late for school." Lena sat up and tiredly rubbed her eyes, she looked at her clock and saw that it was already a bit past seven. Meaning she had less then thirty minutes to get ready, and that meant hell. Because all those stupid rules Lillian made her follow, from being dressed in an appropriate way to walking perfect. But a small smile spread across her face when she remembered that she would see Kara and the crew at school. 

She quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom, where she did her business and brushed her teeth. Within minutes she was clothed in some black skirt and blouse, of course closed until the second to last button. She grabbed socks out the sock basket and while rushing out of her room she snatched her favourite sneakers, she got them from Kara, with her.

Downstairs she quickly walked to the kitchen, knowing that her mother will know if she ran inside the building, where she grabbed some milk and cereal. With that she walked to the dining room and ate in silence. She glanced at her watch, she grabbed it just after getting out of bed, and saw that she had five minutes left. She quickly finished her food, not wanting to go outside without a full stomach again. 

She made her way back to the kitchen where she grabbed her lunch money, which one of the maids, Jennifer, always gave to her. She ran upstairs, knowing she hadn't had much time left and quickly brushed her teeth and hair. She looked at her watch and saw that she had one minute left and rushed downstairs, bag on her back with the money pushed inside. She knew if she was even a second late Lillian would know and that meant no food or things like that. 

Luckily for her to back door was already open and she almost flew inside. Not literally of course, because that wasn't possible, apart from Superman. She straightened herself and closed the door. And with that her they drove off, her driver, a guy named David, didn't say a word. He was loyal to Lillian so Lena wouldn't greet him when he snitched every time she was late. 

Lena relaxed a little and saw that she forgot her phone, she whispered a silent "Fuck."  Finally she relaxed a little and sat there, looking out of the window. The twenty-five minute drive went by rather slow.

When they finally arrived at her public school, done by Lillian since she was mad at Lena, she got out and was immediately greeted by somebody yelling a loud "Hey Lena!" She chuckled because she knew who it was. She walked to their usual spot, a bit up a hill, and saw Kara sitting on a bench, together with Winn and Lucy. 

She said her usual greeting which was a formal "Hello." And got greetings back from a very happy Winn and a very irritated sounding Lucy. She smiled as Kara stood up and hugged her tight. And with that the bell rang and they went inside.

That afternoon, when Lena came back from an uneventful day at school Lillian stood in the hallway, waiting for her. She looked at her watch and saw that she was on time so she asked "Mother, what can I do for you."

Lillian gave her a stern look and simply said "For that tone you don't get food tonight."

Lena opened her mouth to protest but quickly closed it again, knowing if she would say anything she wouldn't have food tomorrow. She wanted to make herself small and curl up but she couldn't. So she straightened her back and nodded, while looking at the ground in respect.

"Good. Lena, you were exactly 0.01 seconds late this morning, what do you have to say about this?" If Lena didn't hate David before she would definitely had done it now.

"Nothing mother, my excuse for being late this morning. I will try to never do it again." Lillian nodded, and with that she walked off, not saying another word.

And with that Lena practically ran to her room, bag in her hand. Almost crying loudly, but she couldn't- not yet.

~~~~~~~~~~

Lena sighed and looked with teary eyes in front of her, she just- in a very broken voice she whispered "I just wish I was old, so that I didn't have Lillian all over me." And with that Lena broke down, and slowly fell asleep. Her last thoughts were about Kara, and how her best friend didn't even know what was happening with Lena. But she was there- through every episode and every breakdown. 

Kara would be there for every problem- and it was safe to say that over the years Lena developed feelings for that wonderful human being. Through their whole school career, from Sophomore to Senior. And Lena-Lena developed feelings for Kara she could yet not describe. Just because they were that real, that perfect. It- It made her think she would be floating just by the thought of Kara. It would made her think about everything she could do whenever she was with her, ever enemy she could slay just because Kara was there. 

But Kara wasn't really there, she would leave Lena just like everybody else when she heard what was happening to Lena. She would end up alone, and that- that made Lena terrified, no petrified. Because she would loathe the day that Kara Danvers would leave her. But she knew that day would come. And with that the world closed off around her. 

What she didn't know that somebody, in a galaxy very far away, whispered just after her wish "Your wish is my command." And with that the person clapped their hands. Creating some sort of ripple in the universe.
