Before Mine (One Shot)

Before Mine

There was a few hours before that event in which Kara's life would change forever. She met Lena a few months before the date of her wedding with Mike and now her head was a complete mess. She doesnt know what Lena Luthor did to her, the only thing she knows is that she no longer wants to share her life with Mike.

-Flashback 24 hours before the wedding-

"I...I've been thinking about it and i don't think that getting married it's a good idea"
she whispered as she kept her gaze fixed on an expressionless Mike on the other side of the table.

"Pardon me? I think I haven't heard you well, my love, for a moment it seemed to me that you intended to end our engagement" he said without taking his icy gaze from those beautiful blue eyes that showed the terror she felt.

"That's...that's exactly what I said, Mike. I don't think that getting married it's a good idea, I don't love you."

"It's because of her, right? Because of Lena" he said with remarkable disdain in his words; Kara kept her head down looking at her fingers. Mike knew he didn't need an answer, Kara's silence said it all. Kara was in love with Lena. It was not long before Mike stood up and went to sit next to Kara so he would avoid making a scene in the restaurant.

"Listen carefully, Danvers, I'm not going to be your stupid toy" he murmured in her ear as his hand closed tightly around the wrist of the blue-eyed. "You just can't come and end our engagement and run away with that slut, you just can't, and you know why?"
He waited for an answer as his fingers roamed Kara's jaw, while she was moving uncomfortable in her seat. "The answer is simple; you can't break our engagement because I love you Kara, I love you. And if you're not mine, you're not going to be for someone else. So, if you don't want me to kill your sweetie with my own hands, you're going to go to the church tomorrow and you will say those vows that will tie up us forever, do you understand?" he asked with anger in his voice without releasing the grip he had on the wrist of the girl who still remained in silence.

"I...Mike, I don't..." she sighed and nodded hiding her eyes. "I understand."
She whispered fighting with all her strength to not shed a tear in front of the man who was already standing ready to go, leaving her there alone and thoughtful.

----------------------------------------------------

Three hours had passed since Mike left her alone in that place. Kara didn't had the strength to leave immediately, her mind going over and over again to the words of the monster that will become her husband. When she finally decided to get out of there, there was only one idea in her head, 'forget about Lena forever'.
However, she needed to talk to someone, she needed someone to tell her what was the right thing to do and that everything would be fine, she needed Alex.

"Please Alex, answer" she murmured while the dial tone filled her car, even though she was on her way to Alex's apartment.

"Hey, Kara!" Alex answered after the third call, "Is everything fine?"

"Hey Alex, I'm three minutes away from your apartment, please tell me you're there."

"Yes Kara, I'm here. See you soon."

Kara's call made Alex feel too anxious, so she was already waiting for Kara at the doorstep when the girl came. When Kara saw her, she threw herself into her arms and could not help to let out the tears she had contained from the restaurant.

"Kara, what's wrong?" she asked, caressing her sister's back as she directed her towards the sofa, "Please talk to me", she said with choked voice. Seeing her sister like that was tearing her apart.

"He's going to...Mike, he's going to kill her. I love her and he knows it. I love her and he's going to kill her."

"What are you talking about? Who do you love? Who is he going to kill?" Alex's voice was full of fear. Even though she knew her sister, she needed to confirm it, she needed to hear Kara saying she was in love with Lena.
