Prologue

I felt arms wrap around my waist and a smile slipped onto my face, "we have got to stop meeting like this Libby," he chuckled.

I laughed and looked up at him, I stroked his cheek as he looked down at me, "what can I say? I like you coming to my rescue Superman," I grinned.

He flashed me a grin and pressed his lips to my head, "nothing to do with the fact you are clumsy then?" He asked. I smiled sheepishly, I looked to see we was still flying in the air, I would never get used to this that was for sure. "Libby we need to talk." He held me tighter as we flew across the night sky, it looked beautiful, I would never get tired of seeing it. He pushed open my bedroom window and placed me onto the bed, I reached over switching the bedroom light on. As I turned around and saw Clark's grim expression my stomach dropped. Something was wrong, he knew something was about to happen, something bad.

"Clark," I said quietly. "What's going on?"

"I'm sorry," he said shaking his head. "I have to do this."

"Do what?" I asked confused. Though deep down I knew what he meant, I knew but I didn't want it to be true.

"You're in danger Libby," he said. He came over and sat next to me on the bed, he stroked my face and laughed shaking his head. "I don't want to do this. We can't see each other Libby."

"No," I whispered. I felt my heart breaking, I clutched my chest and he shook his head, he placed his hand on top of mine. "Why do we have to stop this? Us?"

"Because if they find you, they will kill you. I love you too much Libby to let anybody hurt you," he said shaking his head.

"You're going to make me forget aren't you?" I asked tears falling down my cheeks. I shook my head and scratched my head he held my hands and looked up at me.

"I don't want to make you forget Libby, God I wish I didn't have to," he said softly. "I have to make you, it's the only way to keep you safe. I promised to protect you Libby. This is the way I know how to." I shook my head and he nodded. "I won't make it hurt I promise, you'll be able to find love again."

"No," I said shaking my head. "I love you Clark," I cried. He pressed his lips against mine and I kissed back, all the feelings we felt was poured into this one kiss and I knew nothing would ever be the same again. "Don't leave me; I don't want to be alone."

"Oh Libby, you remember what I told you the first time you knew my secret?" He asked. I shook my head. "You'll never be alone Libby, when you feel alone look into the sky and you know wherever I am, I'm watching. I love you Libby but this is what is best."

"Can I at least have tonight with you?" I asked quietly. "I don't want to leave it like this."

"Where do you want to go?" Clark asked.

"I don't care Clark, I just want to be with you," I said.

He laid down pulling me with him, "how about right here?" He pressed his lips to mine and I kissed him back holding him tightly.

"I love you Clark," I whispered. I found myself falling to sleep in his arms.

"We will see each other again Libby. I promise."
