Alex was slowly approaching the closet in Kara's room; her eyes filled with anxiousness and concern. She was closely followed by Lucy, her face scrunched up in confusion.

They stood at the front of it for a few seconds then Alex lightly knocked on the closet door, when she got no response she spoke hoping her voice can be heard from inside, "Kara, can you come out of there? We're having pizza tonight, you can pick whatever topping you like, even pineapple." She says in an enticing tone.

"No!" Kara shouted from the inside of the closet.

Alex sighed then turned towards Lucy who looked even more confused than ever.

"Okay, I'm going to open the door, remember to avoid eye contact because she'll see it as a sign of aggression." She warned Lucy, her face serious.

"Are we still talking about Kara or a wild animal? Seriously, how can your sunny, bouncy puppy of a little sister be dangerous?" Lucy snorted in disbelief, maybe Alex finally lost her marbles.

"She's sad, hungry and probably drunk. She's been in there all day, and she hasn't eaten in hours, Lucy, hours. "

Lucy still looked at her doubtfully. "So? Everyone gets drunk when they break up with their ex, no big deal. Why are you being extra crazy? It's Kara. "

Alex just shook her head, she tried to warn her.

"Okay, whatever. Kara, I'm opening the door!" Alex shouted, yanking the closet door open.

They saw a disheveled Kara lying down on a pile of her clothes; her eyes were blood shot, her hair wild. She hissed like a cat when the light caught her eyes.

"Noooo! I told you to leave me alone! This is my private space! This is my bubble!" Kara shouted, pulling an oversized sweater closely to her chest like a blanket. Her voice was a bit slurred and her movements sloppy as she tried to throw random pieces of clothing at the two girls. A striped sock flew and smacked Alex's face; she made a disgusted noise and pulled Kara up.

"C'mon Kara, get up. And what the hell are you're drunk?! Get out of the closet!" She half carried her little sister who was fidgeting, trying to smack her with a random pair of underwear.

Lucy watched the pair with amused eyes, trying her hardest not to make any jokes about Kara being dragged out of the closet kicking and screaming.

"I said no! This is my space and it has booze and its warm and its dark and it's awesome!" Alex rolled her eyes and pushed Kara to her bed. Kara saw another person in her room; she turned towards Lucy, and tried pointing a threatening finger towards her friend.

"You! I can feel your eyes and their judgement! Go away! I hate you! Why are you here again? Did Alex invite you?" Kara shouted at Lucy, her eyes wild and unfocused.

Lucy's own eyes widened, she never saw Kara like this, that's why Alex told her to avoid eye contact. Drunken Kara is kinda mean.

"Kara! Stop yelling at Lucy, she's our friend. And she lives here." Alex chided her sister as she rummaged through her drawers finding a pair of pajamas.

Kara just shrugged, "Meh, she's lame and a nerd. Why do we hang out with you anyway? You're laaaaame."

Lucy wanted to laugh but at the same time she was offended. She is not lame! And a nerd!

"Oh, I'm so giving you hell for this when you sober up." She promised Kara.

Alex finally emerged from Kara's stuff, holding clothes and a towel. "Break it up you two. Lucy, don't you have a meeting to go to? Kara, get in the shower. You smell like a hobo."

A few minutes later Kara was freshly showered and eating with Alex, she was a bit embarrassed on how she called Lucy a nerd and lame but she knows the girl would have her revenge on her anyway.

"So, you wanna talk about it?" Alex asks cautiously.

When Kara is in this mood she can be a tad unpredictable, like she can be all soft and cuddly or she'll get drunk, mean, and be a bit violent and would start to throw things.

"The asshole cheated on me, I threw a vase on his face." Kara replied bluntly, stabbing her potsticker with unnecessary force.

Oh, so it's the second one. Alex thought.

"So you decided to get drunk in your closet?" Alex asked sarcastically. Kara rolled her eyes at her sister not having a justifiable reply.

They were quietly eating for a few minutes and then Kara threw the empty carton on the table, and let a long suffering groan.

"I just wanna be spontaneous! He said I was boring and predictable! Can you believe that? I know, let's go to a bar and get rachet!" Kara exclaimed, jumping from the sofa excitedly.

Alex scrunched up her face, mouthing the word "rachet" thinking where the hell Kara learnt that word and thinking of a way to convince her not to say it again. Ever.

"Kara, you shouldn't let that douchebag get to you. He's an idiot. You are perfectly awesome just the way you are, you don't have anything to prove anything to him or anybody for that matter."

Alex advised Kara and pulled her sister towards the sofa again, she knew that Mike guy was bad news. She should've killed him when she got the chance a few months ago, but she needed to be here for Kara first, she'll murder the asshole later.

Kara sighed as she sat down, her excitement dimming a bit. "I know that, but he wasn't wrong either. I need to be more spontaneous and exciting. Since when did the last time I went out for fun?" She was flopping her arms out dramatically, Alex looked on, bemused.

"Fine. We'll go out tomorrow night with Lucy. But remember that we're doing this for you and not just because that douche said so." Alex said, pointing her finger towards Kara in emphasis.

Kara just rolled her eyes and batted Alex's finger away from her face. "Of course I'm doing this for me; I didn't like him much anyway. He was so basic."

"Okay, this needs to stop. Where the hell are you learning these words?"

"Lucy taught me." Kara grinned proudly.

"I should've known. I'm going to kill that woman." Alex murmured.

-0-0-0-0-

The loud bass in the club resonates in Kara's ears as she shuffles over to Lucy and her sister. She was trying to balance three glasses of cocktails precariously. When she reached the two girls, she shoved the two glasses at them. Kara was already halfway drunk.

"I'm having such a great time!" she says while drinking from her glass. Lucy followed suit but Alex just stared at her glass, finding it empty.

"What's this?" she asked confused. "Well, it used to be a Pina Colada but I drank it!" Kara tried laughing mockingly, but she lost her balance and wobbled a bit.

Lucy giggled along, both at Kara's antics and Alex's annoyed face as the girl huffed and went to the bar to get her own drink.

A few hours later Kara was absolutely plastered drunk. They were walking towards their apartment; Lucy was half dragging Kara along with Alex trailing after them, looking satisfied at Lucy's struggle.

Suddenly Kara burst into tears, "I'm so sad and angry! Am I not enough, huh?! Am I a horrible girlfriend?! Lucy!" she yelled right at her friends' ear, making her wince.

"What Kara?" Lucy asked as she adjusted Kara who was slowly slumping down.

"Why did he cheat on me? Was I that bad? Would you date me, if he were you? We should date." she slurred and started pawing her friend.

Lucy threw her head back and laughed as Kara continued groping her, Alex moved towards the pair and pried her sister's hands off Lucy's chest.

"Alex, if it wasn't obvious before then I can now guarantee that our little Kara is little bit gay." Lucy grinned, still laughing a bit.

Alex ignored her and grabbed one of Kara's arms, helping Lucy half-carry Kara.

"Kara, you're drunk, I told you to stop drinking but what did you do? You still drank that fifth Long Island. And as I said earlier, you're too good for that Mike douche. And you shouldn't date Lucy too. She's a nerd and lame remember?" Alex said, throwing a mocking smile at Lucy who narrowed her eyes.

"She's right Kara, you don't need that guy in your life, you have so many other options, I don't know what you saw in him. He was such a frat boy, you're way out of his league." Lucy reassured Kara.

"See! You don't even wanna date me! Why am I so unlikable?!" Kara whined, she removed her arm from Alex's shoulder and started clumsily grope Lucy again.

"Kara! Stop groping Lucy." Alex tried to pry her sister's grabby hand while Lucy just laughed, Alex thought that Lucy is enjoying this too much, she must be a bit more drunk than Alex thought.

"Aw, Kar. If I wasn't straight and didn't have James already I would totally go out with you."

Kara looked at her friend and her sister then started crying again. She hugged them both tightly, "You guys my best friends. I love you both so much." She blubbered.

Alex rolled her eyes but smiled slightly at her sister. "Tell you what, why don't you go with me to the pet clinic tomorrow? You can pet the cats. You like petting the cats right?"

Kara sniffed and nodded slightly, "I do like petting the cats…" she trailed off, her hand moving to pet Alex's head like she was one of the cats.

Alex ignored Lucy who started giggling again, "Okay, good. You'll go with me first thing tomorrow." And they continued walking home.
