chapter twenty four

Kara called a taxi as fast as she could and was on her way home quicker than Alex could catch up to her. When Kara got home, Eliza was in bed already (thank god) because she was told not to wait up.

Kara ran up to her room and tried too hard to get out of her dress before collapsing on her bed, makeup completely ruined and swearing all over her white pillows.

As the tears fell down her cheeks, small, muffled sobs came out of the blondes throat lightly. Her phone, on silent, had been ringing for the past twenty minutes. Mostly form Alex. One from Lena, and three from Maggie. But Kara couldn't care less.

Thirty minutes later, half asleep Kara with no tears left to cry got joined by her sister, Alex. Alex simply hugged her younger sister and Kara leaned her head on her sisters chest.

"I-I'm sorry I ruined tonight.." Kara let out after what seemed like forever she had been in her sister's arms

"Hey, hey.. you didn't ruin anything. You're my baby sister. I would do anything for you, okay?"

kara sniffled and nodded into Alex's chest. "now, let's get changed out of these dresses and put on some oversized hoodies, alright?" 

kara eventually pulled away and sat up with Alex. Alex walked over to Kara's closet and pulled out a couple hoodies. "friends or champion?" the older danvers asked, holding up one black hoodie with the friends logo on it, and in the other hand a grey hoodie with the champion logo in the corner. 

"friends.. please," kara mumbled and got off the bed. Alex set the hoodies down and unzipped the zipper on kara's dress. "i'm gonna go get changed, and then I'll be right back in, okay?"

kara nodded softly, and with a final kiss to her cheek, Alex left kara alone in her room with the one hoodie. kara silently slipped out of the dress and put on the friends hoodie before putting on a pair of compression shorts. she sat down in front of her mirror with some makeup wipes and scrubbed her face frantically. once the makeup was stripped from her face, the blonde threw out the wipes and looked at herself in the mirror. 

for one of the first times, she hated what she saw. but then Alex came in. kara turned around and smiled at her older sister, who was wearing the other hoodie from her closet, and had a bowl of popcorn and skittles mixed together. "come on," Alex said, climbing into the pile of blankets "we are gonna watch movies and eat popcorn and skittles, all night long until we start to fall asleep, okay?" 

kara nodded and crawled into her bed beside her big sister.

the next morning, kara woke up at 9am cuddled up to her older sister. she smiled as she remembered the night before, how her sister effectively cheered her up. she looked to her sister on her right, who was still passed out. she slipped out of her arms and made her way over to the window and saw lena, sitting out in the tree. kara sighed and went downstairs, and made two cups of hot chocolate. about ten minutes later, she tiptoed up to her room and opened the window with the mugs in one hand, careful not to be loud enough to wake Alex, but luckily Alex was a heavy sleeper. 

"knock knock, can I come out?" kara asked in a sweet, soft voice. Lenas head shot up, and immediately nodded, moving over so she's no longer in the middle and there's room for kara. kara handed out the mugs to lena before she climbed out the window and closed the window behind her. 

she sat down beside lena and gave her a small smile. the young women looked out at the sky, painted light blue and orange. 

they sat in a comfortable silence for a while before lena spoke up "um..I made a decision about college. this morning I contacted MIT and NYU and turned their offer down.. and then i contacted Stanford with the news. I-I'm gonna go to Stanford.."
