Without You

First Fanfic, please let me know how it is. WARNING I am a lazy person, so updates would be irregular. Plus I'm not much of writer, I just have alot ideas which make my head explode.

Summary: Something did happen during crimson, but Clark blocked the memory. Unable to stand the tension between Clark, Lois left for Star City only to return few months later. Clark left right after to fulfill his destiny. Six years later Clark Kent returns home, with a secret.

The woman sat down on to the green couch, and picked up the cherry wood frame. Tears began to flow down her cheeks has her finger outline the teenage boy in the picture. The boy was only 18 years old, yet to her he was her baby. His blue-green eyes sparkled has the dirty blonde hair girl beside him punched him on his arm. The petite blonde on the other side was laughing at them; this was definitely a Kodak moment. That day was last day she ever saw her son smile like that, like he had no weight of the world on his shoulders.

The red head woman missed her son Clark Kent so much, but she knew there would be a day where he had to leave her. She just wished he would come back to her soon, she felt really lonely living on the farm without him. So she took the offer and became the Senator for Kansas. She had moved to Washington, and left the farm under the care Farmer Ben.

She didn't know how he looked like. If he had grown into the man that Jonathan and her raised. Martha put the picture frame back onto the side table, and began to stare at the telephone. Every July 1st, he would call her at 9 am in the morning. It was the only phone call she got from him in a whole year. They would usually talk for an hour and she would try to tell him about everything that he missed. And like always he would ask about her, Lana Lang. The only girl he had ever loved and the only girl who broke his heart.

As usual he inquired about her life if she was happy, if she was safe. She didn't like talking about her because she knew it hurt him. She tried to convince him to move on, she doubt he had ever listened to her. Like always she would tell him that she didn't know much about her and it was true after her divorce with Lex Luthor, she moved away. Giving him that information brought some happiness to him. She was happy, and also grateful about not knowing that she had faked her death. It would of killed him, and she knew he would do something that he would latter regret. Especially since she came back and finally gotten divorce with Lex.

Ring Ring Ring

The phone rang, and Martha picked up the receiver hoping the other line would be Clark.

"Good Morning, Mrs Kent!"

"Chloe?" She had expected it to be her long lost son. It surprised her that Chloe would call this early in morning. Chloe Suvillian would always call in later on the day knowing Clark would call in the morning.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" Said the petite blonde woman.

"No, no. I was...I was just waiting for Clark to call."

"He hasn't called in yet? Ok I think I just call in later." This wasn't the reason why she had call at this hour. Martha knew just by her voice, something was bothering Chloe.

"Chloe, what is it? Something is on your mind; you know to can tell me dear." Martha said in motherly tone. Chloe was Clark's best friend and she was like a daughter to her. For a woman who could not have her own child, was able to have a lot because of her adopted son.

"She is starting to ask question. Kara is trying to help Lois but it not really working. I think we should tell him."

"I wish we could, but it could have unexpected consequence according to Kara." If only Clark knew, he would have come home as soon as possible. Martha continued. "Plus if we do, we would have to tell Lois the truth."

"I know, but things are getting complicated now. She has even questioned Kara how she is even related." Chloe was beginning to panic. She didn't know how to control the situation.

"It is not our secret to tell Chloe."

"You don't know when he would come back do you?" This certainly wasn't about secret. There was something else on her mind.

"Chloe, are you alright?"

There was silence for a while. Chloe was deciding if she should tell Martha or not.

"He proposed to me last night." Chloe had finally let it out; it took some weight of her heart. Martha Kent was the first person she had told. She didn't even tell her cousin Lois Lane. She didn't know why, but she couldn't. They were like sisters, telling each other everything. Well not everything, Chloe had to keep some stuff from her, like Martha said it was not her secret to tell in the first place.

"Congratulation, Chloe!" Martha was excited for her. She now understood why Chloe seemed worried. Even though she was mother figure to her, she was still not Clark, her best friend. Clark not being here for her, especially on such special occasion, must of made her feel lonely.

"I haven't given him an answer yet."

"Does this have to do with Clark not being here?"

"I don't know. I was happy when he proposes, but I couldn't say yes to Bart. I feel like I'm betraying Clark in a way. I'm living on with my life here, while he is out there saving the world." Martha understood. She had felt the same way when she accepted her position in Washington.

"Clark would be happy for you, he doesn't want to you end up alone and neither do I."

"Thanks Mrs. Kent" Chloe felt better, she knew what Martha told her was the truth. Clark would never want her to be alone. It was the constant problem he had always felt, he didn't want to end up growing old alone. "Well I should go; he might call soon, if he does tell him I said hi."

"Bye, honey" Martha said as she hanged up the call.

She didn't want her son to be alone but no matter how much she had given him, he still had felt lonesome in this world. She knew his dream was to live a life with Lana Lang, but it all broke into a thousand pieces the moment she gotten engaged to Lex Luthor. He tried to move on; he tried to stay in Smallville. Only a day after their engagement Lois left Smallville and that probably crossed the limit.

Even though they teased and annoyed each other, they were still close. They were always there when the other was having a bad time. Lois was the one person who could cheer up him particularly when he was upset about Lana. Clark couldn't take it; he must have felt like everyone was leaving, with his father death, Lana engagement to Lex and then Lois leaving to Gotham City. He probably wanted to leave before he lost more of those he loved. It felt like yesterday to Martha. She laid her head back and closed her eyes.

Chloe put her cell phone back to into her purse. Mrs. Kent was a mother to her; she would always give her motherly advice. Though her advice had helped her, she still needs someone to talk to and she knew who to go to.

When she finally reached apartment, she knocked hard on the door. As she stood there in front of the red door, she realized that no one would open the door, because they would still be asleep. To her surprise it opened. A little girl with dark brunette hair stood there in front of her. She was like an exact copy of her mother except for her eyes. Her blue-green eyes that could always charm anyone, just like her father.
