Kara was sitting with Alex at lunch for weeks now. She hasn't talked or even asked about Lena. Everyone could tell she was miserable though. It's like she lost a piece of herself. All she ate for lunch was a few bites of her ham sandwich and a couple of Pringles.
"Kara you need to eat more than that. You know you need more food than an average person," Alex scolded.
"I don't want to eat. Just leave me alone. Its obvious she doesn't care," Kara complained. That's when Alex turned towards the raven haired girl, who Kara was referring to, and saw that she really didn't seem to care. So she stood up and walked over to her.
"I don't know who you think you are, Lena, but you better start apologizing. Do you know that she isn't her optimistic self anymore or doing any of her homework? Or are you too careless to see the damage you caused by shutting her out?" Alex asked. By this time the entire lunch room was silent; all eyes were watching the scene play out before them. Then Lena got up from her chair and confronted Alex head on.
"You don't scare me Danvers. Even if I did notice how she's feeling, I can't really help her with that. As for me being careless? No, I care too much about her well being to even notice that I was angering my mother. So much so that I still have a scar from something that happened weeks ago. I'm staying away from her because if I don't, it will be worse for me," Lena confessed, crying at this point. That was when the raven haired girl felt a warm embrace. She didn't have to open her eyes to know that it was Kara. Which brought a smile to her face.
"You don't have to do this alone you know. I'm here too. I'll always be there for you," Kara whispered. Lena held on tighter, not wanting this moment to be interrupted. However, they didn't want everyone's attention to still be focused on them so they quickly stepped away from each other. Alex was smiling at the two, happy that Kara had her friend back.
"When you two are done catching up over the past few weeks without each other I'll be with my friends eating," Alex informed. When she left, the two girls sat down next to each other.
"Did you ever want to talk to me?" Kara asked, going straight to the point. With a sigh Lena grabbed her hand before answering the question.
"I wanted to talk to you everyday. Mostly to apologize about the terrible things I said to you. I didn't mean any of it. Those were the only things I could think of to have you stay away. My mother is still angry with me so she's taken away all my technology designs that I've been working on. It's tough trying to act like someone I'm not. Or who she wants me to be," Lena admitted. Kara held her hand a little tighter, but enough that it still was like human strength and not alien.
"I missed seeing you draw. I wondered why they weren't with you. It was fascinating to me, trying to figure out what goes through Lena Luthor's head. You don't open up much, but the drawings leave clues to how you feel. Or that's what I think at least," Kara stated. They were both smiling at each other, grateful that they were no longer far apart.
The bell rang for lunch to end and they both got up quickly to get to their last period. When they entered, Mrs. Watson had a shocked but pleased expression.
"I wasn't sure if you two were ever going to be friends again. I'm just happy that you two figured out that you need each other. I mean winter break is two weeks away, which I'm sure we all need," Mrs. Watson guessed. Hearing 'winter break' caused both girls to face each other with the biggest smiles plastered on their faces.
"Don't worry, you're obviously welcome to join us whenever you'd like with every winter break until we're done with school," Kara whispered. Lena's smile grew brighter and she hugged Kara with such excitement that she made her take a step back. Which shocked the blonde since she was stronger than any human. But she reasoned that because she was so used to Lena that she didn't have to be strong with her unless it seemed necessary.
"Thank you again, Kara. You've made my life start now that you're in it. I've never had a friend like you before. Or rather, I haven't really had a friend at all. I'm going to have to make up some lies though in order to come back over. I don't want my mother anywhere near you," Lena confessed.
Kara held onto her tighter, trying to hint to the raven haired girl that she'd try and protect her no matter what.
