Chapter 2: The Promise

I was dreaming again. Clouds passed by quickly, the blue sky changing from day to night.

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" I yelled.

"You won't, Lois." A familiar voice said. Grandfather's voice.

"Grandfather! Is that you? What do you mean? "I started running toward the voice.

"Lois." He said, "You must be patient. After all, I'm watching over you, as well as someone else close to you. "I could hear his warm chuckle,

feeling my heart ache.

"I've missed you." I said softly.

"You don't need to worry, Lois. It's not your time yet."

"I'm so confused!" I yelled, stopping.

"It's time for you… to wake up! "As he said this, everything disappeared, and I woke up, breathing heavily. I was sweating a lot, though not

from the heat.

"You're awake! "Clark yelled, as he entered the door. "You've been asleep for a day. I thought…never mind." He sat down next to me.

"Can I leave now? "I asked, hating the icky doctor smell.

"Yes. "Was all he said, returning back to his shy self?

"Umm."I muttered, not wanting to mention the obvious.

"Oh, uhh, I guess you need to change. I'll be in the waiting room. "He practically ran out the door. I dressed quickly, and then left the hospital

with Clark. I was ready for work, though I felt like I had missed something. Oh well.

"Clark, please don't tell anyone." I said, knowing that Clark knew what I was talking about. He looked worried.

"But…what about your parents?"

"I don't want anyone to worry, especially my parents."

Clark stopped for a moment, and then said, "I won't tell anyone. For you, I won't." He looked at me, in the eyes this time. It was only a second,

but it felt way longer. I could feel a change, like I would never look at Clark the same way as before. My heart raced, as something bloomed inside me. We

both looked away at the same time, though I knew my face was all red. As we left for work, we didn't speak. I didn't know if it was because I wouldn't, or I couldn't.

I forgot to mention this story's taking place after Superman met Lois, so shes already all in love with him. I haven't written him in yet, but I will soon. Please review, and thanks for all the support.
