They finally separated. Chloe smiled, and turned down to the steps. She
looked back at Clark with wide eyes.
Chloe-I'll see you tomorrow Clark
Clark-Bye Chloe
With a spring in her step, Chloe turned and descended down the stairs.
Clark's shoulders dropped along with his head. He didn't know how this all happened. Everything had changed. He didn't know how he could even look at her at school after he had shown her his secrets. He didn't want to hide from her again. He knew he did the right thing, even though it tore him up inside.
Chloe stopped and turned around after she had stepped of the Kent driveway. She couldn't understand how she could have forgotten about the past few days.
Chloe-I bumped my head? My head doesn't hurt
She rubbed her head, searching for a tender spot. There were none. She was just about to turn around to ask when, and how she 'bumped her head', but she just thought she better get home. She wanted to keep what had just happened for the night; that was good enough to last her a month.
Chloe-We hugged. Clark's arms reached around me…did it really happen?
She kept on her coarse, still smiling ear to ear.
Back in the loft, Mrs. Kent came up, and wrapped her arm around Clark's shoulder.
Mrs. Kent-Are you ok?
Clark-No
Mrs. Kent-What did you tell her?
Clark-Another lie
Mrs. Kent-Now Clark…
Clark-I…I can't always be honest with people, I know
Mrs. Kent-Do you like her?
Clark-I think I do
Mrs. Kent-Me and your father -- we would understand if you want to…
Clark-No. I can't do that to Chloe; not again. You knew how she reacted the 1st time. I don't want her to hurt.
Mrs. Kent-Don't be angry about it Clark
Clark-How can I not be angry mom? Nothing works out.
Clark turned away and his voice grew quiet.
Clark-Nothing will ever work out
Mrs. Kent-I'm sure it will Clark
Clark-When?
1 Mrs. Kent-When you meet the right one. A woman you can trust; a woman that loves you for you.
Clark-How can anyone be ok with my gifts? I'm not even ok with it
Mrs. Kent-You will be Clark. One day you will realized that you can't do anything to change who you are, and where you're from. One day you might not need to hide anymore
Clark-One day is not today mom
Mrs. Kent-It wont be tomorrow either
Clark turned to his mother, and gave her a hug
Clark-I don't know how you can be right about everything all the time
She looked up at him and smiled. She loved being his mother.
Chloe-I'll see you tomorrow Clark
Clark-Bye Chloe
