" They're gonna be killed out in that storm," Byron muttered to himself as he sat around the fireplace with most of his friends.
Pete, Chloe, Sarah, and himself were staring into the warm heat that was issuing from the fire. Byron wasn't sure if he'd ever see Clark or Lana again. He wondered if they'd see each other again. He would give anything to know where they were. And, of course, he couldn't act like he didn't care what happened to Jonathan and Lex. What if they got lost out there too? What was he gonna do then? The Kents were the nicest family he'd ever met.
He told himself to shut up. All those "what if"'s were driving him crazy. He couldn't just sit here and worry about them like this. Lex must've brought his cell phone with him. He always did. He should at least try to call. It would make himself feel better.
" What're you doing?" Sarah asked when she noticed Byron stand up and go automatically to the coat rack where he stuck his hands in the pockets of his jacket.
" Looking for my phone," he answered as he continued the search.
" The phones won't work if you're trying to call someone out in the storm. It messed up all the cell phones. Trust me. I know," Chloe confirmed.
Byron finally found his phone and started to dial Lex's number.
" I just want to try."
Chloe sighed and shooked herself closer to the fire.
" Yeah, Lex? Can you hear me? Are you - are you there?" Byron said loudly causing a few bystanders to stare at him.
" No, nothing's wrong, I just - what? I can't hear you very well.....something's wrong out there? Well - what is it? Have you found them?"
" Ay! What's he sayin'?" Pete shouted.
" Shhh!" Chloe snapped back as she turned towards Byron patiently waiting for him to get off the phone.
Byron plugged up the ear that wasn't listening to the conversation with his finger so he could hear Lex better. It was so staticy.
" What cove? There must me tons! We can't find you if you can't tell us! Wait, can you tell me how far out you are? Lex?"
Chloe, Sarah, and Pete all felt a brick fall in there stomaches. From what they could hear, things did not seem like this plan Lex and Jonathan had hatched was going at all how they had been planned.
" What's happened?" Sarah asked when Byron didn't say anything. He stared at the wall blankly as he turned off his phone.
" What?!" Chloe finally shouted.
" They were searching a cove and it caved in. Lex and Jonathan were both buryed under it and Lex thinks his leg is broken."
" What about Mr. Kent?" Pete wondered urgently.
" He doesn't know."
" Who doesn't?"
" Lex!" Byron splat out almost crazily. " We should've stopped them. We should've told them to not go searching for Clark and Lana..."
" Byron, don't do that to yourself," Sarah stated tryng to calm him down.
Byron looked at her with deep meaningful eyes.
" It's true. We could have stopped them. Now Lex is hurt and Jonathan's now the newest member of the missing people club," he hesitated before finishing. " And no one can go out to save anyone of them."
*~*~*
Lana continued to rub the soaked scarf on Clark's forehead. She could see the beads of sweat on his strong chest. He was obviously getting sicker and sicker by the minute. She wondered what was going to happen to them. She still felt cold from the snow and the very tips of her fingers felt a little frost-bitten.
'This is usually when Clark appeared to save the day, but not now,' Lana told herself depressingly.
Clark suddenly a stirred slightly.
" Lana..." he uttered barely moving his lips.
" I'm right here," she said smiling.
He slowly lifted his right hand and she took it. His was unbelievably warm and reminded Lana of the times they had held hands when they had been a couple. But that would never happen again. They would never be a couple. Just really close friends. But somehow Lana still wanted it to be more. The times she was mad at him were never as much as the times she felt completely in love with him.
But the question was: would it still be worth it?
