Lena's POV
As I finish all my work, I realise it's late. Just gone midnight. I rub my eyes and stretch, getting out of my seat and making my way towards the sofa. I grab a glass and fill it, taking a long sip as I sit. I groan, massaging my neck as it is painfully stiff from looking down at the paper work. My mind wonders as my eyes stare at the table.
Kara wasn't going to kiss me. I mean, she's not gay and not to mention we're best friends.
Then why did it look like she was leaning in?
Wishful thinking. I wanted her to.
Because I like her so much.
Because I love her.
I choke on my drink and start coughing as the realisation hits me.
I'm in love with Kara.
I look to the door as I hear it open, Jess walking in with a glass of water and some ice. She hands me the glass and I take a sip, as she puts the ice on my neck.
"I had a feeling your neck would be sore after looking down at your desk all day."
"Thank you, Jess. It's late. You can go home." I say with a small smile.
She smiles back.
"Then I will see you tomorrow. Make sure you go home and don't spend the night on the sofa though. It won't help the pain in your neck."
I nod as she saunters out of the office. I lean my head back on the sofa as I return to my prior thoughts.
I'm in love with the woman who's been lying to me throughout the whole of our friendship. Great. The heartbreak I'll feel will be a lot worse then usual.
I sigh and lay down, too tired to think about my problematic love life. I slowly drift off into a deep sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up to Kara shaking me, a Big Belly Burger bag in her hand. She smiles softly as I sit up and stretch, but it is soon replaced with a scowl.
"You shouldn't sleep on the sofa. It will make your neck worse and you'll have neck problems."
I chuckle and go towards my desk.
"Sorry, mum."
"Har Har." She mocks, but a genuine smile is placed on her face as she fiddles with her glasses and makes her way to the seat."How has the article been going?"
She looks at me with something in her eyes I have never seen and thought I'd never see in her beautiful eyes. Anger. Hate.
"It's not."I tilt my head in confusion and frown.
"Why?"
"Because I can't write an article about a Luthor."
My heart drops and my breathing quickens.
"What?" I say, trying to hide the surprise and sadness in my voice, but failing as it cracks.
"I know that I said nice things yesterday but my eyes have been opened. You Luthors are all the same and are all evil. You're probably plotting something right now to take down Supergirl. I mean, you had all that Kryptonite stashed away. You are a vile human being who deserves to be locked away for the rest of her life. A sick person who thinks that I would kiss her."
I blink as I try to take in the words she is spitting at me, venom laced in them.
"Wh..what do you uh mean?"
She sneers.
"Yesterday after we hugged," she shivers in disgust "you thought I was going to kiss you and that I was leaning in. That's disgusting."
I clench my jaw as the anger that has been building up explodes.
"At least I haven't been lying to my best friend about who I am!"
She falters. Then she smirks.
"Why do you think I've been hiding the fact I was Supergirl from you? To protect you?"
I nod slowly.
"Ha! It's because your a Luthor. I can't trust a Luthor with my secret identity. You could tell everyone. Which means the people I love would be in danger. I did it to protect them, because they're my family, not you."I swallow the lump in my throat as she menacingly steps towards me. I step back. She takes another. So do I. We keep doing this until my back hits the balcony.
"No one would miss you. No one would care if you died. No one loves you."
The tears start to stream, as I realise that this whole friendship has been a lie. She doesn't care about me. She just wants to be close to me so she can check on me and make sure I'm not doing any harm.
"Look at you. So pathetic."
She smiles and takes one last step towards me.
"Goodbye, Luthor."
I frown in confusion.
Then I'm falling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I jolt awake, sweat covering my body and tears on my face. I get off the floor, I must have fallen which is what woke me up, and lean on my desk, taking deep breaths to try and calm myself down.It wasn't real. Kara didn't mean those things. Kara would never say anything like that.
I look at my watch.
5:28amI groan and take out my phone, calling a car. When it arrives, I go down and I go home. I slip into comfy pyjamas and I go to sleep, hoping I don't have another dream.

Kara's POV
I'm on such a roll with my writing that I don't hear James calling me.
"KARA!!"
I jump and fix my glasses as I look up at James.
"Sorry. What is it?"
James only smiles and he gestures for me to follow him. I get up and join him in his office.
"I want to do something for Lena."
"What?" The confusion in my voice is obvious.
"I like her and I want to show her."
I pause. Then I laugh.
"You like Lena? As in Lena Luthor?"
He frowns and nods.
"Oh James. She's gay."
His eyes widen.
"What. No she's not."
I frown and smile sympathetically.
"Have you not seen the way she looks at women? It's the way you look at them. Trust me, she doesn't look at men that way."
"Wait. So, she hasn't actually told you she's gay?"
"No. But it's obvious."
"She could be bisexual. Or pansexual." He says with hope.
I shake my head.
"I told you that she barely glances at the men that approach her. The galas that she's been to, a lot of attractive men go to talk to her but she scares them away. I'm sorry James."
He shakes his head.
"If she hasn't actually said, then you don't know if it's true."
I sigh and shake my head as I leave.
"Bye James."
Later at 1:15pm
Lena just messaged that she can't have lunch with me today as she has a meeting. Which is weird. Because she said that she never has meetings on Tuesday. I shrug and instead continue my article.Lena's POV
Kara isn't coming for lunch meaning I have more time to convince myself that she doesn't have those thoughts that she had in my dream.
It was just a dream.
"Come in." I say when I hear a knock on my door. The first thing I see is a Big Belly Burger bag and I frown thinking that maybe Kara ignored my message. Then James' head appears."Hi." He smiles. I frown as I look at him.
"Can I help you Mr Olsen?"
"Call me James."
I nod as he walks further in a dit's down in a chair. Kara's chair.
"I know you like Big Belly Burger so I thought I would bring some."
"Why?"
"A peace offering. I know we haven't exactly been best of friends when you first arrived, but I want that to change. Kara trusts you so I trust you. It would be nice if we got to know each other more." He smiles and I wonder how many women he's wooed with it.
"Thank you but I have a meeting starting in a few minutes." I stick with my previous lie.
"But your assistant said you were free."
Shit.
"It's uh it's a uh private meeting. One that isn't recorded. Like my lunches with Kara."
"Who are you meeting with?"
I squint and raise my eyebrow.
"It's private for a reason Mr Ols- James."
He smiles when I correct myself."Right. Well I guess I should excuse myself. Enjoy the Big Belly Burger and I hope we can catch up at some point. Get to know each other a little more." He smiles 'charmingly'. I think at least. I'm not exactly great at reading men. I nod and smile, being polite as he walks out and the door shuts. I roll my eyes as I open the bag. Disappointment fills me as I see that he has gotten my order wrong. I sigh and grab the bag, taking it to Jess.
"Jess, do you like the Big Belly Burger meal?"
She nods.
"Do you like pickles?"
Again, she nods.
I smile and hand her the bag.
"Then enjoy this Big Belly Burger meal with extra pickles!"
She laughs slightly as she takes the bag.
"Mr Olsen doesn't know your order then?"
I shake my head.
"Where's Kara with your actual order?"
"She can't make it. Too busy with her article."
"The one about you?"
I nod and she smirks.
I frown as she continues with her work, unpacking the bag. She doesn't respond so I go back inside my office and sit at my desk, continuing with some work.
