Love Is Hard; a supercorp story

Chapter Eight

Alex's POV

Kara has been moping for a week now. She's completely cut herself of from everyone. She still hasn't heard anything from Lena. Tonight she has dropped of the radar yet again, and as her sister, it was my duty to find her.

Her apartment is the first place I check of course.

"Kara?" I question as I arrive at the door. I receive no reply so I unlock the door and let myself in.

I look around to an empty apartment. Various take out boxes were scattered all over the kitchen counter, as was dirty dishes and cups.
Clothes were scattered all over the floor. It looks like she hasn't been taking good care of herself recently.

I pull out my phone to text Maggie.

Me: Nope, not at the apartment.

Maggie: What about noonan's? Maybe she's gone there to eat.

Me: I'll try that next.

I exit her apartment and get back into my car. Turning on the ignition and driving to Noonan's.

I arrive and look around. The place was just about to close and almost empty. She isn't here either.

Me: Nope. Not here either. Maybe i'll try Al's Dive Bar?

Maggie: Sounds like a plan.

I get back into my car and begin to drive to the bar, having to stop to refill the fuel tank on the way.

I arrive and push open the heavy door. The smell of alcohol overwhelms my senses immediately.

Sure enough, I spotted Kara sitting at the bar laughing with Mon el, a daxamite who had recently crashed here on earth.

I could already tell she was drunk before I even approached her.

"Kara! There you are. You kinda dropped of the radar for a second there"

"Hey Mon el tell her what you just said"

"What" He replies.

"Tell her...tell her the joke you just said" She slurs.

"I've already forgotten it" He replies.

The two erupt into hysterical laughter. I roll my eyes.

"Kara, come on let's get home"

"What, no! Were hav...having fun!" She protests.

I pull her up from the bar, wrap my arm around her shoulder and force her out the bar.

I carefully place her into the car, handing her a bottle of water I had in the back.

"You need to stop this Kara" I begin.

"Stop what?" She questions.

"You need to stop moping around feeling sorry for yourself. It's been a week. Get it together. you need to...to sort out your shit.

"Okay mom" She jokes. Clearly uninterested in what I had to say.

"I'm serious Kara. You need to talk to her. She's your best friend for gods sake-"

"She's more then that" Kara interrupts. I raise an eyebrow questionably at her.

"Yeah you...you know before I fucked it up. We were ab-about to kiss" She slurs.

"WHAT!" I shout in surprise.

What the hell? What? I think to myself. I knew her and Lena were good friends but NEVER did I ever think that would happen.

"Yeah yeah we were like centimetres apart before I said it"

I was so unbelievably shocked. Does this make Kara gay? Out of all the things I would never have pegged her as gay.

"So you like her?" I interrogate.

"I honestly don't even know. I don't know it was just like a spontaneous moment. I have no idea how I feel about her. It's like- it's like i'd never thought about her like that before, ever, but it wasn't like I didn't wanna kiss her.

"Wow" I exclaim as we arrive outside Kara's loft. Guiding her inside as she could barley walk by herself. Opening the apartment door and throwing her onto the couch.

Kara has sobered up a little bit now. I pulled two cans of coke out the fridge, and give one to Kara while sitting down beside her.

"So what are you going to do?" I question, eager for more explanation on the subject.

"I don't even know" She replies. "For the first time, I don't know what to do"

"Well you should definitely go and see her. Wether it turns out good or bad, you can't leave it like this.

"Yeah yeah" Kara replies. "I just like don't know how she feels about...everything. Will she still even wanna be friends? With the whole Luthor and Super rivalry between our families. Plus I don't even know how she feels about our almost-kiss. Isn't it gonna be like, super awkward"

"You won't know until you talk to her"

"Ughhh" Kara moans.

After taking Kara to bed. I walk out the apartment, whipping out my phone immediately to text Maggie.

Me: You won't believe what Kara's just told me.

Lena's POV

I pour myself my fourth drink of scotch for the evening. I am so upset with Kara. Yet I can't. I can't stop thinking about what happened. How she lied to me, but also how close her lips were to mine.

I couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if Kara hadn't told me. If we would've kissed.

I still don't know how I feel about Kara. I can't decipher wether I just like her as a good friend, or if there's something more. I mean, I certainly wasn't complaining when we were about to kiss, but what did it mean? Does Kara feel the same?

No. I need to stop thinking about her. She lied to me. The first person i'd let in for years and she betrayed me.

My mind flashes back to one of three first moments we met.

"If you have a parking ticket I can get it validated for you"

"Oh no" Kara interrupts. "I flew here....on a bus" She says as she fixes her glasses.

I mentally slap myself on the head. How could I have been so oblivious? The truth was right in front of me, taunting me the whole time and I couldn't see it.

Everytime she disappeared in danger, hell I should've seen it when I took her glasses of. I knew she looked familiar. God why didn't I realise.

I finish my scotch, flopping down onto my bed. I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling. Remembering all the times I should've noticed her true identity.
