Chapter 1: Pink
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chloe clutched the steering wheel tightly, her eyes peering through the dense fog that had setteled after the tornado had dissipated.
"This is all Clarks fault!" Chloe said to herself, "If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be alone, driving down the highway in this stupid pink dress, wearing this stupid pink corsage, talking to myself!" The gas pedal felt the effects of her anger.
"I don't even like pink! What was I thinking?" Despite the brewing thunder storm, Chloe had stormed out of the gym once the tornado had vanished. She still couldn't believe Clark had dumped her on one of the most important occasions of her life. She didn't want to see him for at least a couple weeks.
"Not that he even notices I exist when Lana is within a 5 mile radius. Why do I always fall for guys who will never love me? First there was Steven in grade 3, but he only went out with me because he wanted my lunch money. Mario was an exchange student, Philip turned out to be gay, Todd wanted to suck out my heat supply and now there's Clark... who's in love with someone else."
Chloe frowned, but then a thought crossed her mind... what if she was falling for guys she could never have on purpose? This way she'd never have to have a serious relationship with anyone... Well all that was going to change right now!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lex strode out of the hospital, feeling worse than he had going in. The doctor had advised him to stay over night for observation, but he wasn't prepared to hang around there all night. He gingerly fingered the bandage above his right eyebrow and noted the red blood stain on the front of his shirt.
"Perfect." he said to himself, getting into his car.
Lex replayed the evening's events in his mind. Why wasn't he more worried about his father? Lionel Luther lay in the hospital and had shown no signs of consciousness, but that didn't seem to bother Lex very much. If anything he felt momentarily free from the name Luthor. Lex started his car and floored the pedal, speeding down the main road, back to his estate. Anything to feel alive.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'm through falling for guys I can never have!" Chloe stated, smiling to herself. "No more exchange students, gay guys, guys who want my lunch money or guys who are already in love."
Pleased with her latest epiphany, Chloe turned the radio on, trying in vain to pick up a signal.
"Come on, work!" She ordered the piece of machinery, taking her eyes off the road for a second to tune it. Suddenly out of nowhere a rabbit blundered onto the road. Chloe swerved to the left to avoid the creature... and instead collided into an oncoming vehicle with a screech of metal.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chloe groaned and crawled out of her wrecked car. Her father was going to kill her... her father was going to ground her, then kill her. She got up shakily and took in the sight. The two cars were in a twisted heap of metal, it was amazing that she wasn't killed. Chloe looked around for the other driver, then with a feeling of dread, realised that the other person was still in the car.
"Hey? Are you okay? Don't worry... I'm going to get you out!" She called, peering through the damage. The other car's passenger door fell off with a little heave and Chloe crawled inside. She felt somebody's shirt and carefully checked for a pulse. It was fairly strong, the person was probably just stunned.
"Chloe Sullivan, investigative reporter and heroine to the rescue... that has a nice ring to it." She said, dragging the person out of the car. She turned him over felt her jaw drop.
"Lex Luthor?" Chloe drew back, "Oh my God! I killed Lex Luther! Lionel Luther is going to hunt down me and my family!" After several moments of sheer panic, she calmed herself. His pulse was still strong, but she needed to wake him from his daze. Chloe leaned over Lex, gripped his collar and pulled him up to her eye level.
"Lex? It's me Chloe... wake up!" She started to worry, and shook him by his collar, "Lex? Get up, dammit! Lex? LEX!?"
"Ugh..." Lex groaned, "Stop the yelling..."
