It had been a whole year to the very date since Clark left Chloe standing in the middle of that gym. She hadn't heard not one word from him since. Nothing felt right to her anymore, it was like her life kept on moving forward but she was stuck in time.
She reached out and pushed the big heavy doors that lead to were her heart had broken. It was dark and empty unlike that night, the night he said goodbye. She slowly entered looking around at the world she once knew. It was a year ago, but it felt like yesterday. She took a seat on the bleachers as she stared to the middle of the floor, her thoughts leading her back to that very night. The way it felt to be in his arms, to feel his breath upon her skin. She often wondered what she ever did to deserve such heartache.
A tear slowly fell from her eyes as she watched her memories there on that dance floor, like an old black and white movie. She smiled as she remembered the tender kiss that they shared, before he said goodbye. "Chloe, why do you keep doing this to yourself?" She asked wiping her tears quickly from her cheeks.
"You're still beautiful as ever." A familiar voice said softly in the back ground.
Chloe's hands began to tremble as she turned to see Clark sitting on the bleachers behind her. "Clark,…" She whispered.
He stood up and walked down to her, pulling her up and into his arms. "I've missed you." He rested his head upon her golden hair.
She swallowed hard. "Me too." She pulled back and looked into his eyes. "What took you so long."
He grinned. "I've been watching over you for a long time, Chloe. The soft breeze you felt upon your skin was me when I ran by you, stopping just out of sight. I've been here everyday since I left to check on you, to make sure that you've moved own."
She dropped her head as the pain filled her heart. "I've tried. There is this one guy, Jimmy Olsen. He's asked me out several times and it was nice. He was nice…" She traced his cheek with the back of her hand. "…but he's not you. There is no other you."
"I want you to be happy, Chloe."
"Then come back to me. Marry me." She pleaded.
"I can't."
"Don't pull the danger card, Clark." She snapped. "Because walking to the car is dangerous. I'll never be happy without you. Don't you see that."
He knew that it was true. That neither of them would ever be happy without the other. "Okay, we'll get married and I'll take you with me everywhere I go…" He leaned down and kissed her softly.
For once Chloe wasn't getting left in gym in a pink dress, but she was being rescued from the depths of two hearts…
The End…
