Prologue
She stood in the doorway watching the little girl sleep. She looked so peaceful. Her golden blonde hair splayed out on her pillow, the slight rise and fall of her breathing as she slept under her purple heart doona. She sensed someone come up behind her and knew it was her best friend.
"How do I tell her? How do I tell my little girl her dad is never coming home?" she asked him, her voice barely above a whisper and thick with tears.
"I don't know, but you'll find a way. She's a smart girl, just be honest with her. Don't sugar coat it." He suggested.
"Thanks Clark." She walked into the room and over to the bed. Clark felt an arm wrap around his waist and turned to see Lois beside him.
"How is she?" Lois asked looking at her cousin as she sat down beside the little girl.
"Hanging in there." They watched as she woke the little girl and began talking to her. Minutes later the girl had tears in her eyes and was running from the room. Chloe went to follow, but Lois stopped her.
"I'll go." She said.
"Ok she'll probably head to the music room." Chloe said and watched as Lois left. Clark wrapped his arms around her and the tears began to fall. "I can't do this; he never wanted this for her. He wanted her to grow up with both parents and I told him we'd be ok, she'd always have us both."
"Chloe, this isn't your fault. Neither of you knew this would happen."
"I know." She said and looked up to see Lois coming back towards them.
"She's locked herself inside the music room."
"I'll go talk to her. Thank you both for being here. It means a lot." She said pulling out of Clark's embrace.
"Of course we'd be here, we're your family. You call us if you need anything." Chloe nodded and with a final hug left them in search of her daughter. Finding her in the music room, she unlocked the door and went inside she saw her sitting at the piano, running her fingers over the ivory keys. She sat down beside her.
"Hey sweetie, why don't you play something?" Chloe suggested.
"No! I don't want to play anything, I don't want to see it again." She yelled, jumping up and running out of the room. Chloe pulled her knees up to her chest, resting her arms on top and began crying.
"How am I supposed to do this without you? I need you Ollie." She whispered into the dark.
