There Always a Chance
Pairing: Jason and Chloe
Summary: Take Place after the Episode Forever
Inside the Torch office, Chloe is taking down the last picture from the now empty Wall of Weird. She looks around at the office which is also completely bare, and puts the article in her box. Chloe takes a walk around the office, looking around it one last time, and then she goes to the door. She reaches out to turn off the lights and looks at the office again with tears in her eyes. Finally, she turns off the light and closes the door. She takes a deep breath and walks away. Chloe was leaving the school. Many other students are leaving, talking loudly and signing each other's yearbooks. There is a storm of colored paper that students are throwing happily from the upper level windows of the school as Chloe comes down the stairs. Clark and Lana walk up to her "Hey" said Chloe. Clark takes the box for Chloe. "Thank you" said Chloe with a smile
The three of them walk away from the school together quietly when Chloe spoke up. "So I guess this is it, huh?" asked Chloe. "It's not like we're never going to see each other, right?" said Clark. "Yeah, you'll have summers and holidays" said Lana. Lana's comment isn't much consolation to any of them. "This sucks" said Chloe. "Yeah, big time" said Lana agreeing to Chloe words "Suddenly, all those tests and teachers we hated seem a lot less scary than the big question mark that's hanging out there" said Clark "You'd think after everything that happened with Brendan, it'd be a whole lot easier to say goodbye to all this" asked Lana "There's a lot here to say goodbye t" said Clark. "You know, not to go all "psycho-sympathizer" on you guys, but I can't blame Brendan for wanting to keep everybody together. Although, after that little lock-in I can't think of anything scarier than being stuck in the past and not moving on" said Chloe They continue to walk in silence for a while. Then something occurs to Chloe. She stops walking and stands in front of Clark and Lana, facing them. "Wait a minute, Lana. Did you say "I'll" have summers and holidays? What about you?" asked Chloe? "I'm staying in Smallville" answered Lana "I thought you said you weren't sure" said Clark "Don't you want to see what else is out there?" asked Chloe "Well that's exactly why I went to Paris last year, but there's a reason that I was drawn back home. I'm just not sure that I've explored all the possibilities here" said Lana
Chloe looks at Lana for a long moment, trying to understand. Then Lana starts walking again and Clark follows her. Chloe watches them together. Chloe muttered to herself, "Maybe things won't change much after all." Chloe was still standing there when Clark and Lana turn around. "Chloe are you coming?" asked Lana "No you guys go ahead. I'm going to take a look at the torch room one more time" said Chloe "Okay, if you need anything just give me a call" said Lana "Sure" answered Chloe with a smile. "Hey Chloe, where do you want me to put your stuff?" asked Clark. "Just put it in my backseat for me" said Chloe "Well I will see you later' said Lana
Lana gave a Chloe a hug and then Clark and her left. Chloe watch them leave and then left the school, as soon she knows that they are long gone.

At first, Chloe though it was a bird so she continue to walk but when she heard the noise again she decided to check it out. As Chloe look around she saw a figure lying near the water. "Hey, are you okay?" asked Chloe. Chloe approach to the figure but the figure was not moving at all so Chloe walk up closer to the figure. She paused in front of the figure decided whether she would help or turn back the other way. Chloe slowly move her hand toward the figure shoulder. "Are you okay?" asked Chloe again Chloe put her hand on the figure shoulder and slowly turn the figure around. To Chloe surprised, it turn out the figure is Jason Teague. "Oh my god Jason" said Chloe She was shocked to see him on the ground. In her mind she thinking why is Jason here and unconscious? But what occur in her mind the most is what happen to him?
