Hey! Well I got done with my math midterm and feel very confident about it. So being in a good mood I decided too type this up for you guys. It's mostly a filler to the juicy stuff I have planned…so I hope you enjoy it!

Anticipation grew over the next few days. It was now Saturday the day of the concert and Chloe was still stuck in bed with the chicken pox.

"Okay, so I want you to finish all of you're soup."

"Thanks mom."

Chloe had been staying over Lana's house in the guest bedroom while she was sick. Chloe didn't really know her mother and her father was out of town on business. Chloe laid in bed with pillows propped up behind her so she could sit up, with a tray over her legs and a hot bowl of chicken noodle chip and a glass of coke.

"You do realize that you are not supposed to be drinking soda while you are sick." Lana sat down beside Chloe and looked at her.…"the bubbles do something too you and makes you throw up."

"Than I'm glad I'm not in my own bed too throw up in." She smiled.

Lana gasped and hit Chloe in the arm playfully. "Oh, gee thanks."

Chloe just smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Are you sure you are going to be okay for today."

"Lana would you stop worrying about me I am a big girl now."

"I know it's just that I feel so guilty."

When Lana first told Chloe about what she was doing today, she could have sworn Chloe was going to give out at any moment. After calming down a bit Chloe gave her lecture about how it wasn't such a good idea to go on a rendezvous with Kal but trusted Lana to make the right decision if he ever tried anything funny. Besides, this was Chris Daughtry.

"Lana you have got too stop worrying." Chloe leaned over and took a sip of the soup closing her eyes taking in the taste. "Nell is going to be right downstairs if I need anything and I have you on speed dial if she starts driving me crazy and I need someone too talk too."

Lana nodded feeling a little bit better.

"Speaking of Nell," Chloe continued. "How did you ever convince her too let you go."

Lana looked away looking guilty. "Mmmm, do I have everything I need?" Lana got up and looked through her purse. "Pads, I need pads."

"Lana." Chloe looked at her sternly. "What did you tell Nell?"

Lana stopped and looked around the room finally resting her eyes on her. "I uh, I sort of told her I was going with Whitney's family to an art museum that is a couple of county's away from us."

"Lana!" Chloe said disapprovingly. "So he has got you lying now."

"Well what was I supposed to tell her… "Oh, bye Nell see you tonight oh and by the way I am going too a rock concert with one of the biggest womanizers in school…not likely."

Chloe had to laugh. Lana was right if she had told her the truth Lana would be put away under lock and key.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. "There he is." Lana grabbed her stuff and blew a kiss exiting the room quickly before Chloe could say anything else. "You're late."

"Oh, I'm sorry didn't think we had plans."

Lana turned too see Whitney at the door with a rose in his hand. "A rose for a rose," He said smiling handing it too her as he came inside kissing her on the cheek."

"Whitney." She finally said. "What are you doing here?"

"Do I need a reason to see my girlfriend?"

"Wha…no…uh…um… what?"

Lana was lost for words. In a couple of minutes Kal was going to show up too take her to a concert and Whitney was here to see the whole thing.

"Actually, I came by too see if you wanted to go to a concert with me today."

'You have got too be kidding me.' Lana thought.

"It's kind of short notice."

"Well, I didn't think you would mind when I showed you these." Whitney pulled out a pair of tickets to go see Chris Daughtry in concert in…Metropolis!

Lana was shocked. She didn't know the concert took place 3 hours away from here.

Lana snapped out of it and grabbed the tickets. "How did you get these?" She asked shaking her head.

"I have my ways." He said wrapping his arms around her waist and kissed her neck." Lana didn't know why but she didn't get the usual tingle she usual got when Whitney held her. It almost felt …empty.

Lana turned around in his arms and looked into his hopeful eyes. She had to think of something fast.

"I wish I could go…but you see I uh…see the thing is…"

"She is taking care of me."

Lana and Whitney turned to see Chloe weakly climbing down the steps holding on to the rail for balance.

"Chloe!" Lana stepped out of Whitney's embrace, walked over to Chloe, and let her lean on her for support.

"Chloe…" He said hesitantly. Whitney couldn't get sick because of scouts coming soon and he couldn't even remember if he ever had the chicken pox.

"Hey Whit." She smiled weakly."

"So Lana tells me you have got the case of the chicken pox?"

"Yea, I got sick and Lana is staying home too take care of me. I'm not sure when Nell is going to be home and I'm really needing someone to stay with me."

Lana stood by idly letting Chloe get her out of this situation. It seemed like Chloe was helping her out with everything these days and she felt bad. She also felt bad about lying to Whitney about her plans but what was she supposed too do.

"Chloe you shouldn't even be out of bed." Lana chimed in.

"I'm sorry I had to use the bathroom and I needed some help." She said leaning against Lana.

That was lie. Actually, Chloe was upstairs and as soon as she heard Whitney's high- pitched voice instead of Kal's deep seductive voice it peaked her interest.

Chloe felt a tickle in her throat and started coughing.

Whitney immediately backed away covering his face. "Geez, Chloe do you want to get everyone sick…I have scouts coming soon."

"I'm sorry." Chloe said sadly

Lana glared at Whitney not believing that he was acting this way. "No Chloe don't apologize." Lana shifted her body weight forwards. "Look, Whitney if you are so worried about getting sick than maybe you should just leave.

Lana new this was a low blow but if this was the way too get Whitney out of here than she was going to take it.

"I am sorry if my friend is being too much of an inconvience." Lana spat opening the door. "Like I said I am staying home to take care of Chloe and I think it would be better if you go…like you said you don't want to get sick do you."

"Oh, come on baby don't be like that." He tried reaching for her.

Lana stepped back avoiding his touch. "Goodbye Whitney. I will call you later."

Whitney was surprised by her sudden anger and new that he didn't have to take this… there were plenty of girls that were willing to go out with him.

Whatever" He said leaving, the door slamming behind him.

Chloe kept her head down trying to keep a smile from forming on her lips. "Lana you didn't have to do that."

Lana rolled her eyes. "Don't even worry about it. Whitney will sulk and than get over it."

Both girls laughed. "Okay girl let's get you back upstairs." Chloe put her arm over Lana's shoulder when the doorbell rang.

"Maybe he forgot something." Chloe said looking at Lana.

Lana sighed letting Chloe lean on the wall again. When she was satisfied that Chloe wasn't going to fall Lana opened the door. "I thought I told you that I didn't want too see you..." Lana stopped realizing who it was.

Kal stood in front of her wearing tight black jeans, a white wife beater, his leather jacket, and black sunglasses that seemed to hide his eyes.

"Wow, I know I'm late but I didn't think you would be this upset." He said sliding the sunglasses off.

"Oh, Kal sorry I was expecting…" Lana sighed. "Nevermind come in." Lana opened the door some more to allow Kal entrance.

Kal smiled walking inside with his hands in his pockets. Walking in his smile faded seeing Chloe's condition.

"Chloe!" Kal walked over to her and grabbed her arm. "Lana told me you were sick but I didn't think it was this bad."

"You better stay away Kal…you might catch my disease." Chloe laughed.

"Don't be silly. What are you even doing out of bed? You can barely stand." In one, swiftly movement Kal picked Chloe up and cradled her in his arms. "Let's get you too upstairs." Kal turned back around to Lana looking at him surprised by his kind gesture.

"Which way?" He asked turning back to Lana.

"Uh, second door on you're left."

"Right…I'll be just a sec."

Lana just nodded as Kal started walking up the stairs. Chloe turned her head around and mouthed something looking surprised. She would have never expected Kal to be so caring.

'Whitney could definitely learn a thing or two.'

After he laid Chloe down, he knew he gained some brownie points with Lana. What better way to get on her good side than too help out her best friend.

"Ready too go?" He said coming down the stairs.

"That was nice of you." Lana smiled as he walked closer to her.

"Yea well what can I say…?" He reached for his sunglasses and put them on. "I'm a nice guy.

Lana scoffed. "Please."

Kal put on hand on his chest and gasped acting mocked hurt. "You are telling me that I'm not a nice guy."

"I haven't decided yet."

Kal opened the door and made way for Lana. "After you."

Lana crossed her arms in front of her and looked at him suspiciously.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

Kal closed the door behind him and went down the stairs catching up with Lana.

"So tell me something." Lana asked turning to face him.

"Such as."

"Why didn't you tell me the concert was all the way in Metropolis?

Kal got into the drivers seat of his silver Porsche seeing Lana's expression. He could tell that she was impressed but wasn't willing to admit it.

"Would you have gone with me if I did?" He asked putting the key in the ignition instantiating the loud roar of the engine.

"Good point…"Lana was also curious about something else but didn't know if she should bring it up.

"Just ask."

Lana eyed him. "What?"

"There is something you want to ask me. "What's that look in you're eye."

"Yea." Lana looked in her lap surprised he was able to read her so well. "I was just wondering…well Whitney came over earlier and had the asked me to go a concert with him."

Kal smirked clicking his seatbelt.

"Which concert?"

"Surprisingly the one we are going to now."

Kal was pleased with himself. Lana had an opportunity too back out and go with Whitney but didn't. He was getting to her.

"So what are you doing here with me now?"

"I never break a promise. I didn't it would be fair if I backed out…and Whitney doesn't own me…I'm aloud to have friends.

"Whatever you say."

Lana let herself breath in the smell of the car. It was a mixture of the new car smell that she loved so much and Kal. Lana thought she was going to jump out of her skin because of the reaction her body was having being so close to him. The seat seemed to fit Lana's body perfectly and she felt like she was home.

"Hold on tight."

The tires screeched and smoke formed around the car as it went from 0-60 in 9 seconds flat.

'Show off." She thought.

There weren't even halfway there when the engine started make weird sounds and started slowly down.

"What's going on?" Lana asked curiously.

Kal furrowed his eyebrows pretending not understand the problem. He pulled the car off to the side of the road and sighed.

"We're out of gas." Kal sighed and put his head on the steering wheel.

Kal had too keep himself from laughing. Kal new that if he was ever going to get a chance with her he needed to be with her…totally alone. He couldn't have her run off every time she felt herself giving in. So before he picked her up he made sure too only fill the gas tank up too take them as far as the nearest motel.

Kal needed to play this role too perfection and if there was one thing Kal was good at was keeping up appearances.

"Dammit." He cursed hitting the horn on the car causing Lana too slightly jump at his sudden outburst. He hadn't meant too scare her.

Kal looked at Lana out of the corner of his eye and sighed. "God, Lana I'm sorry did I scare you." Kal put his hand on her shoulder. "If I did I didn't mean too."

"No, it's okay." She let out with a shaky breath.

"No, I shouldn't have lost my cool."

"I think I brought my cell phone. Just let me…" Lana went into her purse and retrieved her phone. She turned it on only to have it shut off automatically.

Lana closed her eyes and tilted her head back. "Damn, Chloe."

"What?"

"Chloe must have used my phone when hers died on her. You know Chloe…always out to get the scoop."

Kal nodded understandably. "Guess we are spending the night."

"Wait a minute…you expect me to spend the night in here with you."

"No, what I was going to say was…" Kal stopped himself and smiled. The truth was he was going to say they were going to spend the night at the motel until someone could come but this was just too good. "What…nervous of being around me for too long…" Kal smiled putting a hand on her knee.

Lana gulped taking a deep breath. "Down Sparky."

'Ruff, Ruff."

Lana should have been appalled of the way he was acting but felt curiously turned on.

"I was actually going to say that we had no choice but too spend the night at that motel over there." Lana turned her head too where he was pointing and immediately felt stupid. "But if you have other ideas…."

Lana got out of the car before he could try anything making him fall on her now empty seat. He straightened himself out and pulled the keys out of the ignition following in suit.

This was going to be a long night
