Part 1: Roses come with thorns attached
"For once just be honest with yourself, I know why Chloe was kissing you, but why were you kissing her back?"
Clark just stares at me blankly; does he think I'll pick up a reason by osmosis? More staring, now he throws a pained look into the mix just for good measure. This is clearly getting us nowhere, "I have to lock up" I tell him; hopefully he'll get the message - no truth, no excuse, no forgiveness. More pained looks, fidgeting, finally he puts his rose down on the counter and walks out leaving me some much needed time to think things through.
I don't understand why he would do this, we were so happy then he goes and makes out with Chloe, here, in the Talon of all places! Did he really think I wouldn't find out? I think that was possibly one of the most painful moments in my life. ok, doesn't quite compare to seeing your parents squished by a flaming ball of fire, but still, comes close.
I turn to pick up the rose, he could have at least come up with an excuse rather than just staring at me. I mean, would it kill him to say, oh I dunno, "Pete tricked me into smoking weed". At least then, it would show he cared enough to lie rather than just stand there like the insensitive dumbass that he is. Commit to memory: Clark = insensitive dumbass. Every time he does something wrong remember "Clark = insensitive dumbass", every time he flakes out without excuse, remember "Clark = insensitive dumbass", then I might be saved some of the pain from expecting too much from him.
I take a sniff of the rose, ahh bittersweet. If only he knew how much I really cared. I turn to throw the rose into the bin along with all out other memories.
"Ah Crap!" I utter as my finger shoots to my lips. Nice way to show how much you care Clark. Give the girl a rose with thorns on. I personally doubt he was going for the symbolic 'take the good along with the bad' meaning, more like the 'Clark = insensitive dumbass' meaning. The blood seems to have stopped trickling from my finger as I hold it up to the light to regard the most recent scar courtesy of our good friend Mr. Kent.
"Sometimes I just wish I knew what it's like to be Clark Kent" I whisper to the deserted Talon. "Guess I'll never know." ' Ha! Yeah, cos I'm not a mysterious guy with trust issues', I add in my head. Oh well, time I was getting back to Chloe's, that's gonna be a lil uncomfortable from now on I guess, it's only a matter of time before she finds out what she did. I know she wasn't in control of her actions but still; I can't help resenting her for it just a bit. With that, Lana turns off the Talon lights, exits and locks up for the night, hopping into her truck for the quiet drive back to the Sullivan residence.
~~~ AN: It's only short but some feedback would be nice. I actually have the whole thing written out but I thought posting a new part every few days would be better to gauge people's reactions
