Chloe laid in bed next to her future husband. He was sleeping so peacefully and it made her wonder what he was dreaming about. She traced his cheekbone with the back of her hand. She was happy, extremely happy for the first time in her life and she owed it all to Bruce Wayne. She made a vow to herself that she would never let Clark come between her and Bruce the way she had let him come between her and Jimmy.
"Chloe,…"
Chloe rolled over to see Clark standing in the doorway of her bedroom. She glanced over at Bruce who was still sound asleep and then back at Clark. 'What is his problem?' She thought to herself. She couldn't believe that he would show up again and at this hour. What if Bruce would have woke up? She eased out of bed and grabbed her rob, tying it around her as she walked pass Clark and down the stairs. She came to a stop at the kitchen counter.
"Clark,…" She said, turning to him. "You have got to stop this."
"I would love nothing more. However, I really need your help."
"Why me, Clark?" She said in a loud whisper. "Hmm? After everything that I have went through because of you. Why would you want my help?"
Clark looked away from her and in the moonlight, she thought that she had seen a tear run down his cheek. She felt a tug at her heart. She wanted to run to him and wrap her arms around him. She wanted to rest her head on his chest as she had done so many times before, but she quickly reminded herself of the vow she had made to herself only minutes ago and of the vows that she and Bruce would make in the near future.
"Because I have always been able to count on you, no matter what we were going through. Because you have saved me so many times when everyone-else wrote me off as someone who couldn't be saved. Because you have loved me when I didn't love myself. And because if you don't help me, Chloe…." He paused. "I will die."
"Chloe, hon." Bruce called as he started down the stairs.
Chloe watched as Clark faded into the night. Bruce turned on the light and walked over to the fridge taking out a bottle of water. Chloe felt weak again. What did he mean he would die? How could he just show up in the middle of the night and say that he would die without her help?
"You okay?" He walked over to her. "I woke up and didn't see you. I thought you were getting cold feet."
"Never." She looked up at him and smiled. "I love you, Bruce."
She wrapped her arms around him the way she had wanted to do Clark earlier, resting her head on his chest.
"I love you too." He swooped her up in his arms. "I will always love you."
He begin to kiss her passionately, as he carried her up the stairs.
