Hey! Thanx to everyone who reviewed my story, please keep R&R I like to know how I'm doing…. I wont be able to update for a while cause I'll be away and I'll have no access to a computer but I will as soon as I get back. I made a mistake in this chapter so thanx to MitchPell for pointing it out.. OK so anyway here's the chapter:
"Hey baby can I talk to you for a minute, alone?" Tom asks looking at her "Nice outfit, go anywhere special tonight?"
"Are you serious? I told you already I went to the art show with Lex." Crystal answers surprised at his question
"I thought you said you weren't going." Tom says forcefully
"You were kidding yourself then, I went to the art show with a friend, and I-"
"Listen can we talk outside." Tom interrupts noticing Clark who is trying to look engrossed in the T.V.
Crystal sighs and looks away for a second thinking. "Fine." She follows him outside.
"What the hell were you thinking? I told you not to go!" Tom yells when their outside
"Don't even try that crap with me! Listen I told you to trust me, you know I love you what's up with the possessive boyfriend act?!?"
"I don't know maybe Lex Luther coming onto my girlfriend." Tom replies angrily
"He was not coming onto me." Crystal protests
"So then he accidentally kissed you? Is that it?"
"You were spying on me?" Crystal asks getting pissed "What possessed you to do that?"
"I don't want you to go out with Lex, much less speak to Lex again do you hear me?" Tom shouts
"You listen to me, I will go out with and speak to whomever I choose to. You don't have the right to tell me who and when I should go out with."
"I'm your boyfriend!" Tom exclaims
"Not anymore." Crystal replies hotly she turns to open the door, Tom puts his hand on it to stop her and the glass shatters. "How did you do that?" Crystal exclaims scared "What's wrong with you?"
Tom smiles. "Nothing's wrong with me baby, I'll see you in school Monday." He walks away gets in his truck and leaves.
Crystal looks around her at all the broken glass, in shock. Confused about what had just happened. Clark ran to the door and opened it, Crystal takes a step back looking at what just happened, the glass lay on the doorstep and the floor of their house. Martha and Jonathan hurry downstairs. They survey the mess. "What happened?" Jonathan demands.
Dumbfounded Crystal doesn't reply.
"I don't know, Tom came by and wanted to talk to Crys, they went outside and the glass broke." Clark explains "Maybe he hit it."
"Tom? What was he doing here?" Martha asks looking for a broom.
"Is that what happened Crystal? Did Tom hit the glass?" Jonathan questions
Crystal looks up her eyes wide.
"Crystal?"
Crystal shakes her head. "No, no he didn't, no he didn't hit the glass…he touched it. He knew what he was doing he did it on purpose…" Crystal trails off.
"Come on let's go inside." Martha grabs Crystal's arm.
"Clark is that all Tom really did. Touch the glass?"
"I don't know I didn't want to look through, she'd get mad about my spying if I did." Clark replies
"Yea she would, and I hate to admit this, but it's Tom I don't trust right now, not Lex." Jonathan says as they go inside.
***************
"Hey Crystal… you awake?" Clark asks opening her door.
"Yea." She replies laying on her bed with a sketch pad.
"Someone wants to talk to you."
"The phone didn't ring."
"I know, he's here, and yea mom and dad know." Clark smiles moving out of the way.
"Lex? What are you doing here?" Crystal asks sitting up and shoving the pad under her pillow.
"I came by to see you if wanted to do something, but your mother warned me you may not want to."
"Oh right…" Crystal answers looking down at her comforter
"Did something happen?" Lex prods
"Tom came by last night, he said he saw us kiss, then he broke the glass on our front door."
"Are you all right?"
"Yea I'm fine, a little confused, I don't know exactly what's going on." Crystal answers slowly
"Understandable." Lex confirms "So would you like to go out, your parents said it was fine with them I think they'd prefer your not being home."
"Why not? What are they doing?" Crystal asks standing up
"I don't know, it's just the feeling I got from them." Lex explains "Maybe they want to be safe then sorry? I don't know."
"All right let's go out, I don't really want to stick around here anyway." Crystal replies standing up.
"Where are you two off to?" Martha asks as they come downstairs.
"A drive, we're not sure exactly where yet." Crystal tells her
"All right, be back for dinner." Martha replies a worry line creasing in her head as she thinks. "Be careful."
"Ok…bye mom" Crystal says looking at her mother curiously
"That was weird, what's going on?" Crystal asks Lex when they get into his car.
"You haven't seen today's paper today have you?" Lex asks
"No, I thought you didn't know about anything that was going on." Crystal asks looking at him
"I don't know what's going on with your parents but apparently something has been going on in Smallville." He says handing her a paper while keeping his eyes on the road.
Crystal gasps putting her hand over her mouth. "I don't believe it!" She reads the headline. "Tom Jakobsin Missing"
Lex glances at her confused "That wasn't the article I was talking about." He takes the paper and flips it over.
Crystal's eyes grew wide as she saw the other headline. "Oh no…." She says hoarsely tears welling up in her eyes. She continues to read the article. She felt her chest begin to tighten.
"Hey are you all right? Want me to take you home?" Lex asks concerned
"No, I- let's go to your house." Crystal replies still looking at the headline. As Lex turns the car around and drives off to his house.
"We're here." Lex says softly. Opening her door. Crystal gets out and follows him into the house still clutching the newspaper. "It's busy around here though, Lana's party being tonight and all. If you want I can have someone bring your dress over here." Lex offers and Crystal nods sitting down in a chair.
"Clark?"
"Hey Lex, what's up?" Clark says into the phone
"You're sister saw the article." Lex tells him
"How is she?"
Lex looks down "Uh not to good actually, I was calling to say since Lana's party isn't to far off timewise to have Lana bring Crystal's dress here."
"Yea I'll bring it over there. Does she know the Tom is missing too?" Clark asks
"Yes." Lex answers looking at the paper "Do you think the two are connected?"
"I don't know, listen I have to go I'll see you tonight." Clark tells him
"Bye Clark." Lex shakes his head and throws the paper on the table the headline reading
PARENTS OF LOCAL BOY IN ACCIDENT-
cause unknown: one dead, the other in critical condtion.
"Are you OK really?" Lex asks sitting next to her.
Crystal shakes her head. Lex takes her hand. "Everything will all right." He tells her softly
"Do you think Tom was responsible?"
"How it said the engine exploded the breaks blew out, they went right into the ditch and flipped. How could Tom of done that?"
"When he broke the glass last night, he touched it. Do you think it's possible?"
"How could Tom of touched the car while it was moving? Much less the engine?" Lex asks sensibly
"What if he was in the car and was concentrating or something? Like what if he knew what he was doing and was so strong he didn't even need to touch the car or anything for that matter anymore? What if-"
"Don't do this to yourself." Lex says cupping her chin "You could play what ifs with any possible thing and drive yourself insane. I'll admit that weird things happen in Smallville all the time….. I'm living proof, why am I alive? I should be dead." Lex tells her
"I'm glad that you're not." Crystal whispers leaning closer to Lex. Lex hesitates slightly before leaning in to kiss her. This kiss even sweeter then the first.
"What about Tom?" Lex asks
"I broke up with him yesterday, I - I realized I don't love him."
"How?"
"Do you believe that two people can connect so easily despite the obstacles in their way?" Crystal asks looking in his eyes
"Even more so since I've met you." Lex replies kissing her again. "But we'll have to continue with this later, Lana and Nel should be here soon." He kisses her once more and then gets up to answer the door.
"Crystal, I heard what happened. Whitney almost didn't leave this morning he's so freaked I hope everything goes ok for him."
"I broke up with Tom and I love Lex you were right, it wasn't right with Tom I was kidding myself." Crystal blurts out. "And I think Tom is behind everything, and I have never been so scared in my entire life."
Lana stops trying to take everything in. "Wait, you broke up with….. Crystal if Tom is really behind this don't you think you or your family is in trouble?"
"Do you think he really would? He's missing though, he's not here." Crystal tries to convince herself. "I'm calling my house."
"Clark? I- I are you ok? Is mom and dad ok? Is-"
"Crystal, calm down." Clark says when he answers
"Tom is responsible I know he is, just like all these other crazy things that have been happening it's Tom, I swear Clark it is." Crystal says in a hushed voice so that no one can hear her. "Clark he killed his mother, his father is barely-"
"He's dead, he died a half hour ago." Clark says softly "The police are here, they want to put you under protective custody, there was a witness that stepped up and saw Tom messing around with his parents car. I'm going to take care of this."
"No you have to let the police take care of this! Lana's counting on you. You'll break her heart."
"I can't. You know that."
"Clark don't worry about me, this is what's important." Crystal pleads
"You said to watch my priorities and I am." Clark insists hanging up.
"He's not coming?" Lana asks already knowing the answer
"He doesn't want to leave my parents, he thinks I'll be safe here." Crystal lies hoping Lana will buy it.
"I hoped for too much didn't I? Maybe I was wrong maybe Whitney is right?"
Crystal sighs, she doesn't have the energy to fight this now. The girl go and ready themselves for the party. Just as they are finishing people start to arrive.
"I don't even want to go out there." Lana says looking over the balcony. "I didn't even want this."
"I know." Crystal agrees spotting Lex down below, he glances over and smiles and makes his way over.
"You look great." He tells her "You look great too Lana." He adds
Lana smiles "You don't need to compliment me Lex, but thank you. I guess I should go make an appearance."
"Good luck." Crystal says
"Don't worry."
"I can't not. I know something is happening….inside."
"Do you want to go to your house, I'll take you there." Lex offers "So you can relax then."
"Yes, I'll go change." Crystal walks off.
*****************
"Mrs. Kent. Is Crystal here?"
"Tom? What are you doing here?" Martha asks locking the screen.
"May I come in?"
"No, we're having a problem right now. It's not a good time."
"Oh I think it's a great time." Tom smiles placing his hand on the door handle and causing the lock to break. "So where's your lovely family?"
"What's going on in here?" Jonathan walks in.
"Nothing too much Mr. Kent, I came for Crystal."
"From what I heard the two of you are no loner a couple."
"On the contrary." Tom places his hand on the wall causing everything to shake and pictures to fall off the wall.
Martha grabbed the counter. "Clark!!!" She yelled, Clark was upstairs in his room when he felt the shaking he hurried downstairs. And attempted to tackle Tom to the ground but the pressure coming from Tom caused Clark to fall back.
Tom picked up his hand. "Am I too strong for you Clark? Is that it?" As the floor starts to shake the tiles breaking up.
Clark retaliates and succeeds in knocking Tom over. Clark stood back up and Tom tried to get up himself. The anger building up in him. Police sirens wailed as they came up onto the property. "Arghh!" Tom yelled frustrated grabbing the table to pull himself up, the counter broke collapsing on him, the police ran in just as it was collapsing. They rushed over to clear the mess. Only to discover the weight of the counter debris had crushed him killing him. Crystal ran out of Lex's car just as they were taking Tom out of the house on a stretcher, to carry the weight of his body.
Crystal froze in her steps as she watched her parents and Clark giving their police reports. Clark noticed her and walked over. "Crystal."
"I'll be in my room." She answered tensely.
"Here's her coat." Lex tells Clark handing it to him
"Lex, Tom's parent's funeral is tomorrow, Crys would be glad if you were there."
"Thank you, I'll be there." Lex promises walking away as Clark joined the everyone else back at his house.
**********************
Crystal looked at herself in the mirror smoothing a wrinkle out of her black shirt and picking a piece of lint off her black skirt, she adjusted her black stockings and examined herself. Her skin was pale and her hands wouldn't stop shaking. She sighed and joined her family outside. All in similar black attire.
Crystal walked into the funeral home and sat in the back, watching everyone pay there last regards, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Tom was dead her first love, he was responsible for his parent's deaths, and altough there was no proof she knew it was true. How could she face school or anyone for that matter after this?
Lana walked in with Whitney, Lana was all closed in her arms wrapped around herself in her own world. Whitney looked extremely uncomfortable himself.
Crystal looks up as she felt someone sit next to her, Lex smiled softly and took her hand into his as the services started. After the services ended and everyone was saying their final good-bye. Lex and Crystal stood by her car waiting for everyone else.
"Jonathan not now." Martha's voice pleads with him as they came over.
"We need to stop this before it starts" Jonathan insists
"He's proven to be trustworthy" Martha protests
"I don't like it."
"That wont stop her."
"I should go" Lex tells Crystal as he sees her family approaching he gives her a kiss. "I'll call you tonight."
"Bye" She answers
"Crystal, we need to talk to you." Jonathan says walking over. He clears his throat. "Your mother and I , we don't approve of this thing you have going on with Lex Luther. We don't want you to see him anymore."
"I don't believe it, I'm happy -with Lex, and you want to take it away. I'm going for a walk." Crystal says angrily walking off
"I told you it was bad timing." Martha hisses
"It needed to be done." Jonathan replies "She'll get over it."
Crystal sat down on a bench by the lake and pulled out her cell phone. "Lex?….Yea can you meet me by the lake?……no I just don't want to be alone right now……..ok thanks."
Lex pulls up five minutes later. "Hey what's up?" He asks joining her on the bench
"My parents don't want me to see you anymore…..but I don't care. I want to be with you. I know that. And I'm going to hold to my decision….as long as that's what you want to…." Crystal trails off scared of his answer
"Is this truly what you want?"
"Yes."
"Then you should already know my answer, I want to be with you, I want you to be my girlfriend." Lex tells her
Crystal's face melts into a smile and leans into Lex's arms as he holds her close……….
To be continued…when I get back, it's not over yet….. I still have sum more ideas….lol please R&R
"Hey baby can I talk to you for a minute, alone?" Tom asks looking at her "Nice outfit, go anywhere special tonight?"
"Are you serious? I told you already I went to the art show with Lex." Crystal answers surprised at his question
