Three months of going on lunch dates, dinner dates and breakfast. Sex in the shower, kitchen, on the couch even in the office. Months of fighting crime and reporting, breaking mergers and inventing new technology software and lots and lots of sex. Months of teasing and fun, open communication and honesty or so Kara thought.

Kara's POV

I haven't seen Lena in two days, she's been busy at L-Corp and I have been so caught up with reporting that we haven't had time to catch up. Time for each other.

So I'm flying over to her place to surprise her with big belly burger and then take her home.

I know it's been a couple of days, but I miss her so much. Being away from her is not the best feeling. I get this strange feeling in my stomach when I don't hear from her. I don't like it. I hate it.

No One's POV

After grabbing big belly burger, Kara flew to Lena's office. 

When she got there, she immediately turned pale, dry skin, white eyes, trembling hands and everything turned white. Everything.

She dropped the food she had been holding a few seconds ago, thousands of thoughts crossing her head unable to think, move or say anything

She felt a pang of pain coursing through her whole body, pain more than kryptonite spreading all over her body.

She had NEVER felt so human.

At that moment she felt so fragile as human and so vulnerable and hurt and everything coming at her all at once.

As she stood there frozen and stationary, she hadn't noticed Lena walking towards her

"Kara" she called cupping Kara's face and looking into her eyes trying to read what Kara was thinking

"I have to go, "Kara said turning back to leave the office but before she could get to the door, Lena gripped her hand, "Let me explain" she continued rambling as she trembled under the Kryptonian's gaze

"Explain what?" the Kryptonian yelled letting her anger take over her

"It's not what you think Kara" she tried to make that known to the Kryptonian as she kept gripping her hand even though she knew Kara could easily get out of it

"It's not what I think? are you kidding me?" Kara responded so furiously and annoyed that Lena took her for a fool 

"Please Kara, let me explain" Lena begged 

"Explain what Lena? explain to me that I didn't walk in on you and William doing what? having sex on your white couch? explain to me that I'm dreaming and this is just one of my many insecurities? or that my eyes are seeing what? nothing but an illusion?" 

"No" she only responded

"No, you won't explain or no, I didn't just see you and William having sex?" Kara asked not expecting an answer to her many questions 

"No, I won't take you for a fool and try to talk my way out of these" Lena clarified

"Was any of it real?" Kara asked trying to wrap her head around what just happened

"Was any of what real?" Lena did not understand what Kara was asking

"Everything. You and Me. Any of it" she explained what she meant

"Of course it was. It is real. All of it is real Kara" she mentioned boldly, assuring Kara that she was so in love with her and that everything she felt for her was 'real'

"Well it doesn't seem like it" Kara replied honestly sounding so hurt

"I have to go. I can't be here any longer than I have been" Kara said looking away, not even daring to look into Lena's eyes anymore.

"Don't?" Lena asked but it sounded more like a warning yet at the same time sounding more like a plea

"Don't what? don't leave? why shouldn't I? it's not like I have anything to stay for. You've made that very clear." she said getting out of Lena's grip and walking towards the balcony

Before Lena could keep on trying to explain, Kara was already opening the door.

When the frustration builds and she thought she might explode - she took a deep breath. She wanted to shout, have a tantrum and beat her hands on the ground like a toddler. She wanted to vent, let it out, but she didn't want to say words she didn't mean, be hurtful. It's just so easy to be cruel at that moment and then the damage is done. So many times she'd wanted to unsay things, take it back. She was learning how to deal with it, but slowly. But this? this she had to say "Fuck you" she said and closed the door behind her

~~~~~~~~

She felt her whole world collapse. Anger, pain, sadness - so intertwined that perhaps their names ought to be tweaked to reflect the true origins of those emotions.

Her anger came me like an impossible build up steam, burning her on the way out, breaking the very unbreakable bones, blurring her eyes, and every inch of her body, her world shattered into a million pieces all at once.

She couldn't breathe, couldn't focus, she felt her knees buckle under her. she had to do something, run away, hide, scream, punch something perhaps someone.

She clenched her fist, one knee down and soon she was in the air having left a crack outside the Luthor's balcony.

She was GONE.

Million and millions of questions crisscrossed her mind, questions that needed answers but the only question that mattered was, 'was she coming back? back to HER?'
