RRJ a lesson before dying
Clark stopped In the middle of the woods behind Luthor corp. It didn't make sense, Chloe must be here, this is where her last mutant boyfriend, one who killed people with kryptonite scissors for teeth, had said she was before running off to die. this was in the summer so all the mutants were coming back to Smallville for a little reunion with their past. or the producers were just running out of ideas
X-ray vision! That will help find her!
She was buried in the ground, not moving
He started to dig, the tears streaming down his face. He had never been able to tell her. Tell her why it was that he had always said no to her. He didn't care about Lana or Lois, they were just puppy love, she was real. Never had he ever felt the way he did the way he felt about…
Chloe's head, it was there, she was there! Oh but what if she didn't make it? she was out, he had her in her arms, his head buried deep in her hair
' don't die!' he thought ' not yet, just not yet I haven't been able to tell…'
his senses came back to him, he was a super guy thing, he COULD help her. And he did.
cough cough "cl…..clar…" cough
"oh Chloe! I thought you were…" he just let her cry now (he was crying too, but he didn't let her see),
don't finish the sentence' he thought 'you'll regret it'
hours past, still they sat there.
Finally Chloe, after more coughing, spoke
" Clark, im sorry I really am sorry."
"for what?"
"for… oh I dont know." She sounded almost startled
Clark looked at her. ' don't open your trap! Itll just lead you to trouble!'
'well then I wont open my mouth, at least not for talking"
he kissed her once. It was like the sweetest thing in the world. Soft and gentle. They sat there for a while, and the kiss went on. When Clark pulled away, he said, "Chloe, I love you"
"what about Lana and Lois"
"they wernt real, this is. Ive loved you, like you've loved me, since I knew you. Whenever you would say that to me I was to afraid to reply with my heart. I would hurt you. Something, I can't explain, would destroy you."
cough" of course, the all mysterious Clark. My farmboy with a secret" cough
this last comment startled Clark. He thought Chloe would try to convince him that this wasn't real, couldn't happen. But instead, she had said "her" farmboy. maybe she was just so out of it, that she wasn't thinking straight. The Chloe he really knew, while still sarcastic like this always beautiful figure in his arms, was always hiding her feelings ablut him. Right now, she wasn't even hiding herfeelings for him. The same he felt about her right now.
'one more kiss' he thought 'just one more!', as he leaned in towards Chloe's very confused face, he relized, he just couldn't do this to Chloe. She'd get hurt, no doubt, his powers would be the end of her. They would find a way to destroy her somehow.
"I cant" Clark said.
"uh…" and Chloe collapsed in his arms
