Everytime I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt
of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
***********************************
....."I told her she was insane, I mean, come on!" Chloe waved her arms around in the air
as she made her way down the hall flanked by her two friends.
Pete nodded, his eyes following a cheerleader that passed them
"You're paying attenion,right Clark?" Chloe stopped, blocking his path.
Clark looked over at Pete, who hung his head sheepishly."Yeah Chloe, of course"
Pete shook his head
Chloe rolled her eyes."This could be why you two don't have girlfriends.."
"It's why I don't have a girlfriend, Clark.." they turned and watched their friend get lost
in his thoughts,"Clark will never get over Lana"
Chloe nodded, continuing down the hall with Pete.
"Any day Kent!" they called,"CLARKKKKKKKKKK!" yelling down the halls of
Smallville High,"Come on!"
*************************************
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
*************************************
"About time!" Lana squealed
Chloe turned to Pete, who shrugged in return
"Sorry" Clark said sheepishly, turning his backpack around so he could dig through
the contents
"Have our friend told us we were going to meet you" Chloe commented,"Chances are
good we would have been on time"
Lana smiled and nodded,"Clark?"
"It took awhile" he explained,"I can't say it's the best I've done.." he pulled the
paper out of his backpack
Pete's mouth fell open
"It's.." Lana and Chloe said together
"A painting of Lex Luthor!"Chloe cried
"beautiful" Lana grinned
Clark tucked his hands behind his back and looked down
at the high school's tile under his feet
"I didn't even know you painted" Pete muttered
****************************
Everytime I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
***************************
...."You brought an entourage Lana?" a voice called from the room
"It's just Clark Kent" she offered sheepishly
Clark paid careful attenion to the rising blush in
her cheeks.
"No deliveries?" the door to the office swung open.
Lex grinned, standing proudly in front of his desk
Chloe caught herself from gasping out loud."Um..hello Mr.
Luthor"
"Chloe, right?" Lex motioned them over."How'd you get
away from the school?"
The group opened their mouths all at once
"Let's try Chloe" he circled the desk and sat down in the
reclining chair behind the large shiny black piece of
furniture
"I...I have a pass" she held up the lamented piece of
paper
Lex smiled,"Alright, that's nice,let's see it" he turned
to Lana and Clark
Chloe made a face
He held up the paper shakingly
"wow..again, you amaze me" Lex stepped away from the
desk,standing close to Chloe, looking up at the paper.
"it looks just like me" he touched the paper
Clark smiled shyly
"Looks just like me, doesn't it Chloe" Lex spun around
and looked directly in Chloe's eyes
"Sure.." she said quietly
********************************
I'm waiting for the final moment
you say the words that I can't say
********************************
She sat in the back seat, hugging her knees to her chest.
"I'll explain" Clark started
"No need" Chloe muttered
"Chloe.."
She caught his eyes in the rearview mirror looking at
her and glared
"Fine.I was going to tell you" he muttered
Lana sat in the passenger's seat quietly
"tell me" Chloe said quietly
"What?" Clark perked up from the driver's seat
"Tell me already!"
******************************
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
******************************
Clark turned to Lana
"Go ahead" she nudged him gently
Chloe leaned back into the backseat, angry now.
"Yeah Clark" she mimicked Lana's gentle manner,
"Go ahead"
He cleared his throat."Well.."
*flashback*
"So?"
Lana laughed,"It's not that difficult Clark"
"I know..um" he took a deep breath,"I like you"
"I know"
"You know?" Clark tripped over his own feet,falling
back into his bed."How?"
"You're more than obvious" she smiled,"And it was kind
of flattering"
"It was?"
"Yeah" Lana reached out for Clark's hand,"Yeah it was"
"So you're talking in the past, does that mean.." he
waved his arms around while he talked,"You want me to
disappear?"
She shook her head,"No"
"So?"
"I was waiting for you to kiss me"
*flashback*
Chloe made a face of disgust."The moral of the story
being...?"
Lana reached over for Clark's hand
"Right.." she answered herself,"Now I get it"
*********************************
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
******************************************
He stopped the truck and whispered something to Lana in the front seat
As soon as the truck halted to a stop, Chloe ran out
"Chloe!"
She kept running into the school, towards her locker
"Chloe! Can we talk?? Chloe!" Clark called after her
Chloe fumbled with the locker door and reached in for her keys, and pass.
"Chloe!"
"What Clark?" she felt his hand on her shoulder,"Congratulations, you got your
girl.Is that what you want me to tell you?"
He was quiet
"Yeah.Well, like I said before,congratulations.You finally got Lana" Chloe spun around,
"Now if you excuse me.."
"Where are you going?" Clark asked
"Tell Mrs. Samson I went home sick" she called to Clark over her shoulder,
" I have to go talk to someone.."
He nodded,watching her walk out the door
**************************
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
***********************
"Mr.Luthor.." the butler spoke into the intercom,"You
have a visitor"
"Tell her to come up" the voice answered back
The color drained from Chloe's face
"He has a security camera,ma'am. Mr.Luthor watched you
arrive" the butler answered her curious face
Chloe nodded
"Go right up"
************************
"It's Chloe, right?"
"Mr. Luthor?" she called
"Next door to your right.And please, call me Lex"
"L..Lex" Chloe pushed open the giant heavy door,
her heart racing in her chest,"I had a few questions.."
"Shoot" the chair behind the desk spun around.Lex
grinned,"Ever since I was little, I wanted to do
that.."
Chloe forced a smile.
"Is everything alright?"
She nodded,"Just had a few questions for the school
paper" Chloe watched him for a minute
"Aren't you going to ask?" he got up from the chair
"Or are you going to tell me the real reason you
came here?"
Lex took slow steps towards Chloe
"I....my friends...Clark...I just.." she stuttered
**********************************
I do admit to myself
that if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
**********************************
"Hey...I got practice in two hours"Pete jogged along
Clark's side as they made their way down the hall
"This better be good"
"Aren't you going to ask where Chloe is?" Clark
answered
Pete shrugged,"I figured you would tell me"
"She disappeared"
"Disappeared like, into thin air, or disappeared
like you finally told her about you and Lana and
she took off" Pete answered,raising an eyebrow
"What's your problem?" Clark replied
"Practice.." Pete looked down at his watch,"In 1 hour
and 45 minutes"
"This doesn't worry you?"
Pete shook his head,"What worries me is that it took
you this long to pick up on Chloe's feelings" he
started to jog away
"What feelings?" Clark called after him.
"She likes you, man" Pete called over his shoulder
*************************************
Everytime I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
*************************************
Chloe grabbed firmly onto the lapels of Lex's collar,
pulling him closer to her
One hand cupping the side of her face,Lex let her
kiss him,pushing herself against his body
"Oh god.." she pushed him away."I am so sorry.."
He grinned,"It was my pleasure"
A wash of cold ran over Chloe, little shivers."That's
not like me.."
Lex nodded,"But?"
"Can we do that, again?"
Lex let out a loud laugh
*****************************************
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
****************************************
Lana smiled at Pete,"Seat taken?"
He shook his head,"Seems Chloe's playing hooky today"
She nodded,"Clark told me"
"Where's Clark?"
Lana took a deep breath."I'm guessing education
is really important to him, or something.."
"He went looking for Chloe?"
Lana nodded
"Oh man.."Pete muttered,"It's been nice, excuse me" he
rushed away from the table, running down the hall
Lana studied the empty tray in front of her.
"Lana?"
"Hey Whitney"
"Mind if I sit here?"
**************************************
Everytime I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
**************************************
*honk!*
*honk!*
The loud noise made Clark jump, causing him to swerve
across the lanes
*honk!*
He pulled over to the side of the road
"What do you think you're doing?" Pete asked,running
to the car
"Pete?"
"Let her go!" he yelled,"Just let her go"
"What?"
"Let Chloe go, before you lose everything.." Pete leaned
against the car window,trying to catch his breath."Your
going to lose Lana and Chloe all at once"
Clark looked at Pete, tears in the corner of his eyes
"Yeah man, you have to decide"
***************************
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
**************************
"I take it it's gotten harder to be a teenager
now of days" Lex looked up from kissing her neck
Chloe nodded,"Saying that made you sound really old"
He laughed ,"I am older than you"
"Not that much.." Chloe ran her hands down the inside
of his opened shirt."It's having Clark as a friend that
makes it difficult"
"Why are you telling me these things, Chloe?"
"I don't know" she said quietly
*************************************
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
**************************************
she buried her face into his chest and cried
Lex pulled away uncomfortably."I'll tell the
servants to let you be.You can stay here as
long as you like" he reached down for his
clothes thrown on the bedroom floor.
Chloe nodded, holding the sheets up to her
bare chest
"I'm sorry about..your problems" he said akwardly
closing the door behind him
****************************************
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
****************************************
She sped down the road, music blaring loud in
her ears, pushing all the thoughts out of her
mind, for then. Just temporarily.
Chloe looked down at her hands at the steering
wheel, and could still see and feel Lex kissing
each fingertip
Her shoes lay in the seat beside her. Chloe wiggled
her toes, feeling the silk sheets between her toes.
She still smelled like him.
Passing the farm house, Chloe made a sharp turn,
driving towards the house
Now or never
********************************************
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant
to be
********************************************
"Go on up Chloe.He just got home from school
alittle while ago" Martha Kent smiled
"Thank you" she took a deep breath, pushing
past Clark's mom, to the staircase. Chloe stood
outside his bedroom door for a while
"Come on in" he held the door open, interrupting
her concentration
Chloe nodded, closing the door behind her
"I was going to tell you,Chloe" Clark sat back down
on his bed and looked up at her
"When? You never gave me a chance.You told Pete before
you told me!" Chloe said loudly
Clark made a face
"Give me alittle credit know how much getting Lana to
notice you meant to you Clark would have been happy
for you"
"But you're not ?"
She shook her head.
"Chloe.."
She reached out and encircled her hand around the
doorknob, getting ready to leave."I can't be."
Clark nodded."I understand"
"No,you don't" Chloe replied,opening the door
"No one's ever done anything like this to you"
He stood up and watched her run down the staircase.
