Second Life

Chapter 1:Three Years

It has been three years since that day. The day where she lost the love of her life. The day where she became hopeless, and depressed, and broken. She was broken. The day where her whole life turned to hell. The day where she watched him die in her arms. The day she died too.

He was a cop, a really great cop that worked very hard to bring justice and peace. It was supposed to be a really normal day, she woke up and walked to the kitchen to find him preparing breakfast like usual. She walked towards him and stood behind him to wrap her arms around him and kiss his ear "Good morning." She whispered.

He smiled and turned around "Good morning, beautiful." He said before he leaned down to kiss her. Their kiss got deeper and deeper, and the next thing she knew she was in his arms then was dropped on the kitchen table. His lips went next to her neck, tasting every part of it, but they were interrupted by his phone ringing. He looked up to check who it is and his eyes widened "Oh it's work, I have to go." He said while putting on his jeans. She got down from the table and put a little strawberry in her mouth. He walked her way to kiss he cheek "Enjoy your breakfast babe."

"Be careful, okay?"

He smiled "Always am. Love you." he said before closing the door behind him.

She walked out of the elevator where she was met with a familiar face "Oh hey Kara," he didn't let her respond before he continued talking "So I checked that place you told me about, and I don't think it'll be a really good place for a first date."

Kara looked at him with raised eyebrows "Excuse me? It's a really cool and romantic place Winn!"

"Yeah, but I don't think Eve would really like that place. She seems… I don't know I just don't think she would like that kind of restaurant."

"Winn, everyone loves that restaurant. I mean the food there is so good and it has a nice vibe."

Winn sighed before she continued "Plus, Eve is a really sweet girl, she won't torture then kill you if you tool her to a place she didn't like, which I'm sure she will like. You should ask her out already."

Their conversation was interrupted with Miss Grant's voice coming from her office "Okay everyone, come on."

They all entered her office to share their news: sports, fashion…

While they were all talking, Kara noticed what was happening on one of the screens behind Miss Grant. Her eyes widened, the police was in the street surrounding a man with a gun. Then she saw her fiancé's face between them. Her heart dropped, it wasn't because he was in the street in that situation, he's used to those things. But because he's not wearing his bulletproof vest.

"Miss Grant…" She said with a shaking voice, pointing at the screen behind her.

Miss Grant looked behind her and quickly said "Kira, I need you to take a cameraman and go there to see what's happening."

Kara nodded and immediately got up "James, can you come with me?"

They walked there and heard the voice of a man screaming "I swear to god I'll do it! Get away or I'll kill her." It was that man surrounded by the cops, he was holding a woman and threatening her.

Kara's thoughts were interrupted by her fiancé's voice "Sir, please, I beg you, just let her go, and we'll figure this out together and talk like adults."

"No! No! I won't."

Mon-El then slowly lowered down his weapon and threw it on the floor, and got both of his hands up.

"Sir, Jake, think about what you're doing here. I'm not gonna hurt you. But if you hurt her, you'll spend most of your life in prison all alone. Do you want that?" he stopped to look at Jake's terrified face, then slowly started walking towards him.

At that, Jake's eyes widened and his gun pointed at Mon-El "No, stay away."

Kara's heart started beating fast watching what was happening in front of her.

Mon-El gulped "I'm not gonna hurt you Jake." he said before he took another step forward. He shook his head and said once again "No, no stay away!"

But that couldn't stop Mon-El, he continued walking by taking another slow step "I won't let anyone hurt you. I'm here to help you. Just give me the gun and everything will be okay. I swear I'll help you."

Tears filled Jake's eyes and he shook his head again "I said stay away!"

"I know you don't wanna do this Jake, I know you don't wanna hurt anyone. So just give me the gun-"

"I SAID STAY AWAY!" Jake screamed before the sound of gunshot silenced the whole place.

Kara's breathing stopped. She watched as Mon-El fell to his knees and another cop shot Jake. Mon-El was shot. He wasn't wearing his bulletproof vest! He wasn't wearing it!

"NO!" Kara yelled before running to him tears streaming down her face.

She got down next to him where his head fell on her knees. She held it in her hands and said through her sobs "No, no, no, Mon...baby, stay with me… stay with me please…Someone call for help!" his eyes were closing when she shook her head "No! No, no, Mon, baby just look at me… look at me and you'll be okay. Everything's gonna be okay!"

He smiled a small smile at her and those three words managed to leave his mouth "I- lo-ve...you."

Kara couldn't stop her sobs and shook her head "No, no don't say that. You're gonna be okay, you hear me? You're gonna be okay."

Then his eyes closed, his breathing stopped, and his heart stopped beating. He was gone. Kara's eyes widened, and her heart stopped. She shook his head "Mon-El, baby, no wake up. Look at me please…" She said through her sobs "Look at me...pl-please…"

He was gone. She buried her face in his chest sobbing. He's dead.

It has been three years since that day. The day where she lost the love of her life. The day where she became hopeless, and depressed, and broken. She was broken. The day where her whole life turned to hell. The day where she watched him die in her arms. The day she died too.

She tried to move on but she just couldn't. She really tried, but every time she did, flashbacks and memories were back to her. Memories of him. She knew he would've wanted her to move on, to live her life and be happy, but she couldn't.

She tried to open the door of her house with her key but it wasn't working. She tried again but nothing happened "What the hell…" she said in slow voice. She walked and peeked through the window to see something she wasn't expecting at all. She saw a brunette woman in her house sitting and eating. Was she in the wrong place? She looked at the number on the door, nope, it was definitely her house. But it didn't look like her house. The whole decor was different and well, there was a really happy girl in there too. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a voice she never thought she would ever hear again -other than all the videos and recordings- coming from the inside "Sorry I'm late."

No. No, no, no it was impossible. She saw him walking and giving that beautiful woman a peck on the lips before sitting to eat. Her eyes were wide and filled with tears, and she wasn't sure if she breathing.

"Mon-El?"
