Chloe's pov.
Since I know Clark, he's in love with Lana' perfect town princess' Lang. Why do I waste my time on this? I really do have a problem concerning this beautiful farm boy. I must be nuts. I love him a lot. He loves me too but like his little and small sister. What will it be to kiss your sister right? I don't know. I don't have a sister he does.
Agh' It's killing but on the other side I like it. I love the fact that I'm in love with someone I already know , with someone I share a lot with. On the other side of journalism he's my passion. I burry myself in journalism like that I can avoid the whole mooning over Lana session. He smiles all the time he sees her. She's like his goddess or something. Me, I'm the good and reliable friend Chloe that's all nothing else matters. If I'm mad and he's here. He is going to ask, " What's the matter Chloe?" like he gives a shit about what's happening in my life. He did the same thing today and that's what answered him. "Like you give a shit about what happens in my life!" and I walked away.
The whole story of what's the matter Chloe is that I snap at Lana. Poor little Lana. I told her which wasn't really nice, I admit, "Why do I have this feeling that you're always waking up and annoy us about you're parents. Get a grip they're dead!" she looked like she got slapped in the face. Really. I feel bad. But she only talks about them. Like Joey Potter in Dawson's Creek who cannot deal with the ' I always had a crush on ugly Dawson' case. She should get a grip too. Maybe I'll do that too. But hey these two at least had to 10 or 15 years spent talking about them. So why can't I not do that? Tell me! I knew it! You don't know what to say!
I'm tired of this routine. Wake up. Take the bus. Do your day at school. Come back. Do your homework. And the last and the obvious go to bed. The day after: same thing over and over for at least 150 days. It's a lot to ask coming from me. I don't ask a lot of things. So a little change in my life is not too much to ask for??? I wish I could get erase from the surface of the earth, the Milky Way, way better!!!! No the whole universe. Like that I'll stop feeling like I'm in everybody's way daily. I'm mad at Clark. Clark is disappointed in me not mad. Which is worst than being mad. Right now I'm thinking in my bed. Eyes open supposedly watching the ceiling in the pitch black of my room. I don't love Clark. I adore him. Why him?
Weird but I can't seem to find a reason. Maybe loving someone is loving without reason because last I checked there is no rule saying that to love someone you have to have a valuable reason. There is no reason to love someone because it's unconditional. That's the word.
Chloe Sullivan's favourite words:
unconditional : no condition
Clark: A very beautiful boy from Smallville, Kansas. With deep blue eyes. Tan skin. Well define cheekbones. Well built. But who's never going to go out with you. Because he's tide up around Lana's finger.
Sarcasm: Something I'm born with and never going to get rid of it. Because I like it too much.
It's this for now. There's more to come. I'm pretty sure. I hate it when I'm self-pitting myself because of Lana and Clark. But why am I always blaming them.
Face it Chloe maybe the problem is you. On the other side. Maybe I'm suffering because of coffee depravation.
Maybe the problem is that I think too much about this. Maybe I should stop being such a smart-ass all the time. I think too much. If I don't stop I'm going to start scrambling my brain. I don't want to be like a cheerleader. This sucks. My life sucks. It's a living-nightmare. Worst than a fat sucking vampire like Jody. Not that this was her fault. I think that people who are under the influence of meteor rocks are acting a little bit like in the book 'The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'.
Do you now what I mean? They turn into somebody else and the vengeance is drowning them into a sort of cyclone where their profound desires are mixed up with it. They're also victims. Were all the victims in Smallville. It's not only Lana's parents. Were all victims. Because it is going to affect at least once in our little farmer pathetic little lives that we want it or nor. Who would want it to happen anyway? Do I really have to ask? I should sleep now. Or I'm going to have rings that are going to hang up down to my ankles.
I don't need this to happen. Not this week.
End of Chloe's pov.
The next day at the Talon. Clark and Lana and Pete are discussing Chloe's behaviour towards Lana.
"She didn't mean to hurt you. You know right. Clark you know that when she burst out it burst with a capital B."
"Maybe but she hurt Lana."
"Clark. Maybe she is right. I should let them go." the girl said sadly. The last thing she wanted is to be the cause to their maybe broken long lasting friendship.
"So! It's not the question of letting them go!!! It's what she said the ways she said it to you!!" Clark shouted.
"Maybe you're right Clark! But take a look at it. The only things you're saying to Chloe are: How are you doing Chloe? Or what is the matter Chloe?" Pete said angry with Clark.
"And? I don't see your point?" Clark asked.
Lana was looking at them with disbelief. But still she was listening.
" And???? Clark you're one of her best friend and you asking my point? My point is that you really don't give a shit about your friendship with her. Just like she answered you yesterday. That's my point! Is it clear enough for you?"
"Well it's clear for me Clark that you are the wrong thing in this." Lana said it calmly both Clark and Pete looked down at her.
"Why are you saying this? Lana speak to me!" Clark said.
"She's you best friend and if I were you I would go and talk to her. She is right about me. And you know it both of you."
"Lana you don't have to say that." said Clark.
"Yes. Clark I have to! Because I care about her too and I feel like all I'm doing make the situation worst. I don't want you to sacrifice your friendship because of me. That's my final word." she said wisely and turns around. Left both Pete and Clark completely subjugate.
Few minutes later. Lana called Chloe.
"Hello." said a breathless voice.
"Hi. Chloe's its Lana!" really like I'm stupid or something of course it's you. Thought Chloe.
"Hey!" she answered trying to sound happy.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?" the blonde asked. "For making you snap. If it's anyone's fault. It's mine. So you come over at the talon right now."
"Okay." said the blonde amazed by the brunette's order.
"You coming?"
"Yeah."
"You forgive me?"
"Yes. But it's also my fault. I'm coming in half an hour."
"See you then!"
Chloe hung up. Glad that Lana and her clean the mess out of it. At least Lana cared about friendship not like Clark.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - On her way down to the Talon Chloe met Lex.
"Hey Mr Luthor."
"Hi. And for the hundredth time it's Lex!"
"Okay. LEX! Are you going at the Talon?"
"Yes and you?"
"I'm going too. So you want to walk with me?" she asked smiling at him.
"It will be a pleasure." he answered politely. He enjoyed the presence of the perky blonde.
The walk up to the Talon.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Inside the Talon.
"Hey! Lana!" Chloe said cheerily.
"Hey Chloe! What's your order?"
"A Big Jumbo non-fat sugar free Latte."
"And you Lex?"
"A big Black coffee like always please."
"Okay."
They looked around and spotted Clark and Pete.
"Hey! You guys come over here!" said Pete. Of course he wasn't jumpy because of Lex's presence but Chloe's.
"Were coming!" answered Lex.
"So how are you doing Lex?" asked Pete. Like he was interested.
"Fine and you?"
"Great."
Chloe and Clark didn't talk to each other yet. Lex was looking at them and turn to ask Pete:
"Why are they looking at each other like that? Did I missed something big?"
"No Lex hadn't missed anything!" said Clark. He was still looking at Chloe.
"Don't listen to him!" said Chloe.
Pete pulled Lex's sleeve and hissed to him:
"they had a fight!" said Pete
"Are you doubting my intelligence?" asked Lex.
"No! Why would I do that?" shot Pete at Lex.
"I got your point Pete but why? What happened?"
"Why don't we go outside for a minute?"
"I'm following you!"
These two went out and let Clark and Chloe together.
Hi. Clark" she said. It sounded like disgust.
"Guys here are your cups of coffee." aid Lana.
"Thank you put it on the table I'm sure that Pete and Lex are going to come inside in few minutes." answered Chloe in a soft way.
"Okay" said Lana and with that she let them alone.
"Hi. Chloe."
"So."
"So."
"So." said Chloe again.
"It take a lot of time to be friends with Lana again." affirmed Clark.
"Yeah. she called me earlier we excused each other and she wanted me to come over here. I think I got set up."
"You're not the only one." he shot back.
"Clark! Stop this okay. You know I hate when we fight. You darn know me well enough to conclude with that. You have to stop acting like a baby!!!!" she yelled at him.
"And you? How are you acting Chloe?"
"Like someone who's sad. Like someone who's hurt. You hurt me Clark. You're a real pain in the ass sometimes!!!"
"I know what you are talking about!!!!"
"Well, if you're ¸going to act like that with me here. I'm going to leave and put a period at our friendship. It was great being your friend Clark!" She ran out of the Talon.
He saw a single tear rolling down her cheek. He completely screwed up his friendship with Chloe.
He had the urge to run after her. So he did it. He listens to his urge.
She was running. Running away from Clark who was screaming her name.
She was too exhausted. She stops and turns away to face him. It may didn't look like it but she was running pretty fast. He brakes in front of her, his chest flush to her face.
He took her chin up. He wanted to look into her eyes.
"I don't agree with you Chloe because I didn't put an end to our friendship. Were two in this and I'm not letting you the pleasure to decide at my place.," he said this calmly. They were looking in each other's eyes.
' Don't play dumb. Girl this guy is right in front of you. Take a stand kiss him or either let him kiss you'
"You're right" it was the only thing she answered back.
His thumb ran down her face and wiped off her tears. At the same time her cupped her face with his other hand. His face leaned in letting his lips touch Chloe's lips. She had a watermelon lip-gloss. He kissed her deeper, sucking heart away. She felt his tongue liking her bottom lip. The first second that she had opened her mouth his tongue was in her mouth wrestling with hers. They enlaced each other. This kiss was a soul- searching kiss.
The kiss pierced her heart. Her heart was aching so much because of this exchange. She was trying to back up the tears but she failed.
They both stopped seeking for some oxygen. Which by the way, was a really really good idea.
