It had seemed a good idea for Alex to take her sister home, for the agitation she had entered had made everyone worry, and, best of all, to get her out of there as soon as possible.

However, the moment she received the message from Alex saying that Kaelah needed her, she was upset, but she could not leave Clark alone on the mission, so she finished it as quickly as possible, heading the two of them toward her apartment.

"Shh, don't make noise" asked Alex, who was sitting on the couch hugging Kaelah.

She approached them trying to be as quiet as possible, crouching in front of her sister, placing her hand on her cheek.

"Where were you?" Her older sister asked her, allowing Clark to take the girl to bed.

"Hank ..." she tried to answer.

"Yes, I know," she interrupted. "I can calm her, even convince her, but you're the only one who can understand her," she pointed out. "Tonight she needed you and I don't think Clark had much trouble defending himself," she looked at her"You may think I'm throwing the scold, but what I want is that you can solve it before it's late, that you've lost her confidence." She finished looking at her.

She ducked her head in confusion, knowing that she was right in her words, that it was true that there was the beginning to be a distance between them, but she had not displaced it, at no time had it been her intention, however, what could she have done if her sister fled every time Clark was around? Force her? No, she could not have done that, but he could not deny that he should talk to her.

I woke up because of the sound of the alarm, alarmed to realize that I was late, so I prepared as fast as possible, scaring me to meet Kara in the kitchen, because I thought I was alone.

"Hey, Kaelah." She smiled. "Are you feeling better?" She asked, making me nod. "We need to talk."

"I'm late," I said, looking at how she was going to reply. "Very late, maybe later, Kara," I grabbed my backpack.

"I can go you, as always" she tried to convince me while I bowed my head without knowing what to answer.

"No, it's not necessary." I smiled, closing the door.

I sighed. Maybe it was not the best way, maybe I should talk to her, but not now, not today, I honestly could not, I did not feel prepared to do it, rather, I did not want to argue with her.

I smiled at Jean as I listened to him speak, for the naturalness with which he understood everything that had happened a couple of days ago surprised me, since any normal person would not react in this way.

"Your sister did a great job," he said.

"I know, I'm proud of her" I laughed causing his. "She saved us."

"Hey, I've seen your cousin around here, how's it going?" He asked curiously.

"Well, I suppose," I shrugged. "It's a bit difficult ..." I sighed as we moved toward the exit.

"Are they coming for you?" He asked.

"I don't know," I replied a few seconds before I identified Zyan, so I grabbed my cell phone trying to pretend they had written to me. "I have to go fast, see you tomorrow," I said goodbye to him.

"See you tomorrow, Kaelah." he waved back at me

I walked to Zyan with a smile on my lips, because it was the first time we were going to be able to be together without anyone being able to interrupt us, or at least I hoped, since I was not sure if my sister was going to introduce herself here .

He hugged me for a couple of seconds before we headed for an area where we were farther apart, less in sight of the people.

"Good morning I see" He asked.

"I didn't know you were coming," I said with a smile.

"I wanted your sister to stop it," he whispered, putting my hair behind my ear.

He caressed my cheek watching me, seeming to take his time, bringing his mouth to my ear as I leaned closer to him.

"Never grow up, Kae," he whispered, causing me to smile.

"I will not," I promised shortly before he dared to kiss me.

However, the moment our lips were about to brush, I felt like someone was grabbing my arm and pulling me back. Were not they going to leave us?

I turned, surprised to see him, for he was the last person waiting for me, but he did not hesitate to stand between us and keep me behind him.

"Who are you supposed to be? And why were you about to kiss my cousin? "He asked altered, placing his arm in front of me without allowing him to move forward.

"He's m ..." I tried to speak, but he beckoned me not to continue.

I ducked my head inwardly, looking at Zyan, asking him to speak, to try to explain this, for it was clear that I had no say in all this.

"I'm her boyfriend," he answered his questions.

"What? She's just a kid, "he said, unable to believe what he was hearing.

"We met in Krypton, one of ..., hmm ..., my escapades" I dared to answer getting him to turn to me. "I shouldn't even be alive, much less have been so long in the phamton zone and not having grown up, it's not my fault, "I complained, looking directly into his eyes, waiting for some kind of compression.

"Kaelah, we're going to go to Kara's apartment and you're going to explain everything to me," he said, nodding.

I looked at Zyan one last time, who tried to smile at me, even though his eyes said the opposite, for the pain with which he was watching me was reflected in his eyes.

I sighed, it seemed like ours was never going to have a happy ending.

The way back to the apartment was the most silent, because even though he did not stop asking me questions, I was not in the mood enough to answer him, so once there, I locked myself in my room.

"Can I come in?" He asked from the outside, but I did not respond.

He opened the door stealthily, watching me, making me look up at the ceiling, trying to ignore him, but unable to avoid looking at him curiously.

"Are you angry?" He asked sitting down on the edge of the bed, while I looked back at the ceiling, I think it was obvious, my actions spoke for me. "Hey, sorry to have reacted like this," he apologized. "I didn't that you had a boyfriend and much less that he was from Krypton, "he said getting me to look at him.

"He was my best friend, the only one I could be myself with," I explained. "He was unjustly condemned, I will never understand the reasons that led my father to do that," I explained, making him look closely

"I mean, in Krypton it was customary for marriages to be arranged between the families and being heiress of the House of El, with more reasons they had to do it," he explained with a little pause. "In that case, you could say that the law is broken, reason more than enough to be sent to Fort Rozz" he continued to my astonishment, because I was not aware of anything he was saying, I had never been told any of this. "Didn't they tell you anything?"

I shook my head, confused, finding logic with all the situation lived, but surprised that I had not been told anything about it at any time in my life, because if they were preparing me for my future, why wasn't I told that? Why hadn't I been told that my decisions didn't mean anything, if at the end I was going to marry someone who wouldn't know anything.

Seriously, I didn't realize that it had caused them to hide that information from me, if it was true, for now it was nothing more than speculation, which honestly had the greatest meaning in the world.

"Maybe that wasn't your case," he said after watching my confusion.

"I don't know, but it makes sense," I replied. "It would make sense for my father's reaction after that, but ... Why didn't they tell me?" I complained. "If they kept putting it off more ..., I was going to know the day of my wedding, the moment I couldn't run away, "I said annoyed.

I knew that it could have been possible, it had only been two more years until then, what would have prevented it? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

I got upset, feeling deceived, even knowing that that was no longer possible to happen, that my planet had been destroyed and with it any possibility, however, I could not help feeling that way, angry.

"Hey, Kaelah, hey," he whispered, hugging me the moment the first tears of helplessness broke through. "Calm down, that's no longer possible, you know that," he said, trying to calm me down.

I nodded, yes, it was true, that was no longer possible, but I could not help it, I could not help but think about what would have happened if Krypton had not burst, if my life had been even more complicated, but above all, if that had been was possible, because I really believed it was true.

She wanted to get home so she could talk to her, because she really needed it, she was aware that until she didn't, she would not feel good about herself.

However, everything seemed to stay there, since the only person who expected her was her cousin, surprising her, her sister never slept so soon, so she could not help thinking that something had happened.

"And Kaelah?" She asked worriedly.

"She went to bed about twenty minutes ago," she replied.

She nodded slightly to her sister's room, opening the door stealthily, trying not to wake her, noting that she had fallen asleep with the cell phone in hand and the night light on.

She took it from her hand before tucking her with the bedspread, watching as she hugged the teddy that she had just placed beside her, repositioning herself to continue sleeping.

"Good night, Kaelah." She kissed her forehead, frightened that the distance between them was already there.

However, despite wanting to stay there, watching her, she sat up, turned off the light, and closed the door, wishing it weren't too late.
