The end of the start
It’s three in the morning when Lena heard the bell in her penthouse ringing. No one would come at this hour except Alex, and Alex is the last person who might show up at her penthouse, Alex hates her, she lose Alex forever, no doubt about it. Alex blocked all Lena's access to her, Lena was never able to contact her again, Lena can't even come to DEO anymore.
It's been a month since the incident that night. And Lena hasn't been able to sleep well. Her mother's teddy bear accompanies her every night in her loneliness, she doesn't know how or where Alex got the teddy bear, but Lena believes it's not a prototype. And why is Alex ringing the bell? She clearly knows Lena's door passcode.
"Hey Princess, are you sleeping?." she can hear Alex mumbles into the receiver, and her eyes began to sting just by hearing the voice.
"Yeah, is everything alright?” Lena asks, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She's been falling asleep, though is not too well.
"Open your door." Alex says, Lena surprised.
"Did you already forgive me?" That's all she can say, still on her receiver.
"Please, just open it. I don't have much time.." there is no arrogance in her voice, only a deep pain in it.
Lena sigh as she slips out of the comfort of her bed, feet padding over to the front door, honestly her legs shaking, and she's not sure this is reality or it's just a dream, because she always dream about Alex lately. And when she does open it, no one is there. She’s confused, angry, yet broken and she's about to make sure Alex knows that too, when she spots a little box on the floor.
Inside rests a gold ring, very sweet and unique, it's not expensive, but one of a kind, Alex had it specially made.
Lena's breath is stuck in her throat. "It's lovely."
There was a silent before Lena heard Alex's coughing, this time Alex's voice was heard from the receiver next to the door.
She knows Alex wants to say something. She needs Alex to say something. But she's too scared for that. The last thing happen really destroyed her inside and out.
"Last time I didn't talk much to Maggie. And I regret it."
"Where are you? from where are you talking?," Lena hisses to the receiver, she wants to add -i need to see you, but after everything happen, she just can't say that.
"I hack your receiver."
"Lee.... i am sorry for lying to you for years, i'm sorry for my sister too, but I'm not lying, we really love you, and we're tired of lying to you.. And I fell in love the day we were together." Lena heard Alex take a breath, maybe Alex was crying, quite possibly..
"When I first realized I was falling in love with you, and it’s going deeper, I was getting scared. I know our relationship didn't start well, bad things happened, and we lied to each other, Supergirl thing, Reign thing , and about what happened between you and Kate Kane. But none of that diminishes my feelings for you. I love you with every blood running through my body. Seeing you and Kate make me want to die, worse than when Maggie left."
"And realized that Kate told you about her secret in the first place which i learn it from Maggie, made me realize that she's so much better than me. You both have memories and I'm only a small part of your life. But i really really love you Lena Kieran Luthor."
"The day I went back in past time for your teddy bear. I saw little Lena who fell asleep alone in her bedroom. I kissed her forehead and that's when I realized I love you so much and I really wanted you to be happy. I was the wrong person. And I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?," Lena asked. her voice cracked.
"Earth one. For a long time maybe.. I'll working on something there. John would take the lead again in DEO. I can't be in the same world as you where we can't be together, where our relationship is completely broken from the start."
"Alex.. i--"
"Lee, i hope we didn't hurt each other too bad and we can fix it someday." Alex whispers, voice tinged with a bit of regret.
"So, you can't forgive me and maybe we can start all over again?"
"I don't know, but I haven't been able to forget what I saw. And i'm lying to you for years."
"I forgive you for that. And thank you for loving me, Alex.. "
And Lena start crying so hard..
"Good bye, Lee.."
"So, it's not a proposal ring, huh?," Lena asked again, hands holding that ring, shaking..
"That's proposal ring which turn to become a gift from a friend."
Lena close her eyes and tears falling again on her cheek. Imagining how close she is to the eternal happiness makes her heart broken to pieces.
"So, we're friend now?," Lena hisses and trying so hard to stop the tears from falling because her eyes start to hurt so bad.
"Do you want to be my friend?"
"Of course, Alex Danvers.. and i'm gonna miss you.."
"Me too, Lee.. please take care of your self.."
"I will..."
"Alex..?"
"Hmm?"
"Can i at least get a hug?"
Alex chuckles. "I don't know. it sounds like a trap. Maybe next time?"
"Okay.. maybe next time..”
"Goodbye, Lena..”
"Goodbye, Alex..."
