Chapter 4
"I can't be here! I have to! I mean I have to get out of here, Luce!"
Kara starts to turn and walk away. But Lucy pulls her back.
"No. Kara. You can't be like this. You can't just leave the room every time she turns up. You have to face her at some point, Kara."
"Yes I know." Kara sighs. "I'm just gonna go and get us some drinks, Luce"
Kara was sitting at the stool, still waiting for Mike for her ordered drinks when she senses someone staring at her. Her gear was starting to beat rapidly. Nervously, she faces the person standing beside her.
"Lena" she whispers, not really sure if she could hear her.
Lena laughs, still staring at Kara.
"Your drunk. Again." kara scoffs
"Again?" Lena let's out a sarcastic laugh. "Right. The last time was when you didn't even care enough to come"
"Here you go, Kara" mike interrupts, putting the drinks in front of Kara.
Kara just shakes her head at Lena's accusation and starts to walk away. But Lena pulls her back, gripping her arms.
"You told me you would always be there for me! But that was just some talk shit bullshit! Wasn't it?!"
And hearing thoSe words, Kara slapped Lena. It wasn't hard enough to leave a mark. But it was enough to hurt. Shock was evident in Kara's eyes. She didn't expect Lena to say that as much as she didn't expect to slap her. Kara's heart feel like it wanted to get out of her chest.
"Don't." Tears start to fall from Kara's eyes. "Don't you dare say that. I have always been there for you..."
Kara shakes her head. She can see Lucy in her peripheral view. Kara wonders when exactly did Lucy get there and how much of the interaction did she witness
"When have you ever?" Kara whispers as she twists her other hand, letting herself free from Lena's grip.
"Let's go home, Kar" Lucy says, pulling Kara away from the bar.
"What the hell's wrong with you?!" Lena blinks at what just happened. She faces the bartender who witnessed eveything, confused and slightly offended at what he said.
"What?!"
"How can you even say that to Kara? For the past years both of you were always here. Mostly because and for you. Then just last month, she had come to rescue you from that Maxwell creep and had to carry you home. And you told her tha-"
"Wait? What do you mean brought me home?"
"Oh. You didn't know? She carried you out with the help of her sister. Kara was right you know. She had always been there for you. When Have you ever?"
Mike's words echo in Lena's mind as she knocks on the door. Her heart beating so fast. She hated herself for everything she had said to Kara.
When have you ever?
When have you ever?
When have you ever?
Oh my gosh. How can I be so stupid!? The Advil and the glass of water. Me in my night clothes. That dream where Kara was taking care of me. Oh god. It was real. It was real!! And I just accused her!! Again. Gosh, Kara...

"Kara, I know you're there. I need to talk to you."

"Kara pleaaaasee. I'm sorry. I really really messed up"
*knock

"Please let me in, Kara"
*knock

"I won't leave until I tell you what I have to tell you. Just hear me out, Kara. Pleaaseee. You can kick me out after. Just please hear me out"
*knock
*knock
*knock
"Kara, Pleaaaaaaaaaaseeeee"
Lena was practically begging, her forehead leaning on the door for support as she knocks. She was hopeless. Kara didn't wan't to see her. How Could she? She knows she was being the worst best friend ever. She thought Kara would never wan't to see her again.
Until she hears the locks in the other side of the door being unlocked. Until she sees the door knob twist.
Kara was opening the door and she didn't think that her heart could beat even faster than a while ago. But it did. She was a nervous wreck. But Lena messed everything up and she has to fix this. No matter what. She has to.
The door fully opens and there she is, face to face with Kara Danvers.
