It was a warm, sunny Saturday in National City. Not one cloud in the sky to deprive the citizens of the sunrays. Lena Luthor was tinkering away at her newest project while humming along with the radio, an empty bottle of Jack Daniels on the table next to her, the next one chilling in the freezer. Most of the songs she knew by heart having heard them enough times.
Then it happened. It being a previously unknown male voice ringing out with a few sentences, their meaning resonating deep in the CEO. When the new melody graced her ears she decided to stop what she was doing and listen to the lyrics.
The words triggered her brain into thinking of crystal clear blue eyes, shiny blonde hair and the beautiful smile of the love of her life, her best friend, Kara Danvers. Just the thought of her caused her heart to ache, tears to form in her eyes.
With just the first verse the memories surfaced. The memories of her and Kara as kids, playing with each other on the playground; of the many sleepovers; of the high school years. The memories of Kara and the blonde's first boyfriend, Matt and of her feeling her heart breaking a little when Kara chose him instead of her to talk about her problems. She remembered Veronica, who was the young brunette's fuck buddy to try and get the younger Danvers out of her system (it didn't work).
When Kara broke up with Matt, Lena was hopeful, but it was short-lived. After Matt, came James (who Lena called Jimmy just to spite him), Clark's best friend. Luckily she wasn't the only one, who didn't like James. Alex, Eliza and even Lillian disliked him but put up a front for the blonde's sake.
Her mother, Eliza and Alex always told her not to give up, fight for Kara, but then Kara got together with Adam after her relationship with James ended, and Lena went on a 10 month long trip just to forget her feelings or at least learn how to deal with them.
On her trip she met Andrea and they spent 6 and a half months happily living their life and living it to the fullest. Her feelings were still there but hopefully Andrea could chase them away (she couldn't and Lena felt herself falling deeper into darkness).
When the CEO returned the news of Kara's engagement slapped her across her face. Mon-EL. Her fianceé's name, Mon-El Dax. An admittedly weird name. But Kara seemed extremely happy so Lena kept her mouth shut and said yes to being a bridesmaid. She started drinking that night, the darkness completely taking over her life.
The memory of the wedding was fresh on Lena's mind, like it happened yesterday when in reality it was 2 years prior. She remembers standing next to Alex and Eliza, remembers the fake smile she bore during the ceremony. She doesn't remember the afterparty, too drunk to decipher any of the happenings. The drinks were good and strong.
Now sitting in her empty penthouse there's an uncontrollable sob that escapes Lena. She's shaking of sorrow and anger. She's furious at herself, at the universe and morso at the thoughts racing through her mind.
She stands from the table, grabs the whiskey from the freezer and starts to chug it down while searching Spotify for the song. Some Say by Nea as she finds out. She puts it on repeat and starts to her cabinet looking for some painkillers. Whiskey in one hand and painkillers in the other she goes to her bedroom and shuts the door on herself.
Just say you'll love me one day
