A/N: Here's another update! I tried not to make it a long wait, but here it is.

(Kara's PoV)

I didn't know what to think. I was furious, and devastated all at the same time. When I looked at Alex sitting on top of Max, I nearly broke.

"Kara, Max told me you two broke up." Alex said.

"No, Kara. I can explain. Please just give me a chance-"

"No! I don't wanna hear it! You cheated on me!" I said, pulling out suitcases and clothes.

"No, Kara she made me do it. She blackmailed me."

"I said I don't want to hear it. Not now! I just need space." I said, continuing to pack.

"Is it over between us?" he asked, tears coming down his cheeks.

"I don't know. I just need some time." I said, and I took the bag I had packed and left. As I walked to my destination, it took everything in me not to sit down and ball my eyes out. Once I got there, I knocked on the door, and Astra opened it.

"What happened?" She asked.

"I saw Max and Alex-"

"Oh little one. I'm so sorry." she said.

"I loved him so much. How-could-he-do-this-to-me? I thought- he -loved me."

"I don't know, little one. But I do know that this will get better."

"No it won't."

"Did you end it with him?"

"No, I just needed space. Can I stay here for a while?"

"I wish you could, but the apartment has rules on this kind of thing. There can only be one person unless signed on lease. I'm sorry."

"It's fine, I just have to make a call."

"There's a phone in the kitchen." she said, and I nodded, before heading out. I dialed the number on the phone and after three rings, someone picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, mom."

"Hey Kara. Are you okay? You sound teary?"

"Can I stay with you for a while?"

"Yes, of course." she said.

This had happened years ago. Landing in front of this house, brought back so many memories. Me landing on this earth. Kal-el bringing me here. Meeting Jeremiah and Eliza. Meeting Alex. Going to school, and becoming a human.

Everything that I had, started here...

Everything that I had lost, started here...

I walked up to the porch and was greeted with open arms of my mother.

"Your aunt told me what happened. I'm so sorry Kara."

"It's okay. I just need time to think."

"Well, do all the thinking you need here."

Time passes.

I still feel like I'm drowning.

I can't live like this. I won't live like this.

Time stops.

And everything is normal. Too normal. I don't like it.

I've been here for a month. We get calls everyday. I only answer the ones from my aunt. Otherwise, I'm quarantined in a room, where I look at the sea, and let my mind relax. I don't eat. It's not like I'll die if I don't. I didn't know it would hurt this much. Then again, I'm an alien, not a sociopath.

Another month passes.

I don't leave my room.

I can't go back yet.

It's not worth it...

My friends miss me.

My sister hates me.

I have no life.

I've lost everything.

This sucks.

Another month passes. This time, I've come out of my room. I still hurt. But I've overstayed my welcome.

"Thanks again." I say as I hug my foster mother goodbye.

"Good luck." she says and I venture off back to my city.

I walk into CatCo. An emotionless wreck. Winn and James run up to me and ask where I was. I don't reply.

I deliver Miss Grant's coffee without a word. She looks concerned. I'm hurting a lot on the inside. I can't help it.

I feel lost. Confused, sad, even damaged. I feel like I have no purpose.

I sit at my desk the rest of the day, and answer phone calls. Siobhan keeps her distance, but looks sad for me every time our eyes meet.

I can't take the heat anymore. I need to face this. I need to breathe.

I walk into Lord. Tech. I make it to his office. He's not there.

I go to his house. The light is on. He's there. There is no car parked in the driveway. I knock on the door.

He answers in a bathrobe. His nose is red, his eyes are puffy. He has been crying. He sees me, and he starts crying.

"I'm sorry." he says.

"I know. I want to know why you did it." I replied, and the next hour was him explaining to me why he did what he did.

I lean over and kiss him. He holds onto me, and we both cry. That's when he sinks down to the floor, and onto one knee.

That's when I realize, I was thinking about this, before knocking on the door. I want to be happy. But I can't unless I see him.

I knock on the door. He answers in a bathrobe, and he has definitely been crying. Seeing me only makes it worse. He lets me in, I grab his hand and take him to our room. I open the door. Alex is not here.

"Why did you do it?"

"I'm sorry. I had no choice." he says, and continues on with the explanation. I cry, and hold onto him.

Suddenly, everything is clear. Max would never want to hurt me. He would never try.

I'm both happy and sad. I'm happy that Max and I are okay. But I'm sad, because I just lost my sister.

A few months have passed. Max and I have been together about a year now. It seems like it's gone by so fast. I haven't been this happy in so long, and for a while I didn't think things would get this good. I have not been to the DEO since Alex forced Max to do what he did.

Things have been scarily normal for a while. Astra had stopped hearing from Non completely, and she was now living a life you would see from a human. She liked the way things were now, when she didn't have to worry about Non all the time.

So now here I am, walking into CatCo with Astra. She and I went our separate ways, her to her desk, and I to Miss Grants office. I walked in and got scared, when I saw the genuine smile on her face.

"Good morning, Miss Grant."

"Oh yes, it is a very good morning indeed." she smiled, gleefully.

"What's got you so happy?"

"Went on a date," she smiled, which only increased, "And here they are now." she said. I turned around and my blood went cold.

A/N: HA! Another cliffhanger. Any thoughts? Review, comment, and spread the word! Love you guys!
