Hey there! This is based on the scene in crush, where Lana realizes her feelings for Clark, right when she can't have him. Whitney's dad doesn't have heart problems in this fic. Anyway, enjoy. Please review.

Lana watched from the bar, as Chloe and Clark held hands and gazed into each other's eyes.

'This is your fault Lana." She thought 'Did you really think that he would always be there? That he would always have feelings for you.'

"He's obviously moved on." She said.

"You wouldn't be talking about a certain farm boy? Now would you?" Came Lex's voice.

Lana mentally kicked herself for thinking aloud.

"Lex…hey." She said awkwardly, grabbing a towel and wiping the counter, attempting to make her self look busy.

"You know Lana, I didn't get where I am today by watching from the sidelines at what I couldn't have. I went in and took a chance." He stated.

"Lex, Chloe is my friend. I couldn't do that to her."

"Steven Marshall was my best friend at one point." He replied.

"Of the formal Marshall corporation?"

"The one and only. I tricked him into selling me his stocks at a low price and eventually bought him out. I sold it for four times the original price, and impressed my father enough for him to let me in the family business."

"That's horrible. He was your friend."

"Lana you don't have friends in my line of work. At least not ones that last. I'll have a latte to go." He concluded.

"Lex…Chloe has really fallen hard for Clark." She said, hoping it would be a good enough reason for Lex to leave her alone.

"Oh and you haven't?" He asked.

Lana gave him his beverage, and waved to him as he walked out the door. She considered this and sat and watched Chloe and Clark, thinking up a game plan.

At Clark's table

"Oh, I have to go Clark. I have a paper to run." Chloe said, suddenly aware of the time.

"Chloe, I am always available for a helping hand." Clark said.

"I think I can handle it Clark." She said jokingly. She gave Clark a kiss on the lips and walked out. Lana watched from afar, feeling her heart being demolished as their lips joined. A tear slipped from her eyes. She quickly wiped it away, hoping no one would see. Meanwhile, Clark was watching Chloe's path love struck.

Lana new this wouldn't be easy, but she was willing to try.

Hey you all. The next chapter will be longer. This one was just a starter too see if people liked it. Please R&R.
