Thanx for all the reviews keep them coming, lol here's the next chapter!
Crystal woke the next morning in her own bed. She groaned because of an ache in her neck. She looked around wondering what exactly had happened the night before. She stumbled into the bathroom to take an aspirin for her headache.
"Morning." Lana mumbles as Crystal leaves the bathroom. "Where's Lex?"
"What do you mean where's Lex?" Crystal asks the question waking her up completely "He stayed here?"
"You don't remember?" Lana asks incredulously "What happened yesterday?"
Crystal leans against the banister thoughtfully "I told Lex didn't I?" She suddenly gasps
"We told Lex, not you. Clark told you too and I agreed. Lex helped us out, remember? We trust him."
"It's not that." Crystal groans "My parents are going to KILL me."
"I'm sure they'll understand" Lana assures her
"Listen I trust Lex and I would tell him everything and anything he wanted to know, seriously. But my parents. My parents don't trust me enough to think I would know who to trust. I could sit there time and time again telling them to trust him but they wouldn't."
"They trusted me though" Lana reminds her softly
"My father thinks that there is an inkblot on the Luther name. Because his father was able to strike it rich and the Kents always had to work for their money. He lives in the past." Crystal looks down "And besides he doesn't trust my judgment enough anyway. Especially after this whole thing with Tom. I mean the guy I choose to date tried to kill my family and ended up killing his own. My father doesn't trust me, don't tell me you don't know that."
"Crys, of course that isn't true. Your father is just more protective of you. He wants to make sure your safe and that nothing will happen. It's not that he doesn't trust you."
"Maybe. I'm going to see how Clark's doing." Crystal tells Lana walking into his room, Lana goes downstairs.
"I didn't know you were still here." Lana comments walking into the kitchen
"I never realized the position my girlfriend was in with her parents until now. Coffee?" Lex offers
"You heard?" Lana asks accepting the cup
"I did, do her parents give her as hard a time as she said?"
"Not her parents, her father." Lana corrects "I don't get it to be honest with you."
"I do, Crystal's right it's all about how my father made his money, granted not all of it was legitimate , and completely honest. But I'm not my father and I can't stress that enough to Crystal's father, and he still wont take my word."
"Parents are not easy to deal with."
Lex looks thoughtful for a moment
"You can ask." Lana tells him
"Ask what?"
"How am I in the position to say parents are difficult when I don't have any."
"Everyone has parents Lana, that's what connects everyone in the world. Some of our parents are just no longer around."
"Like mine."
"Like yours" Lex agrees
"It's hard especially since Nel always wants everything to be perfect for me and never wants anything bad to happen or for me to ever make any mistakes. It's makes my life more complicated."
"Complications are what makes life interesting." Lex muses "That's what I told Crystal the night I asked her out, it seems to of proven correct so far."
"So it has." Lana agrees
********************
"You up Clark?"
"Barely. You look like a wreck." Clark laughs at his sisters disoriented state
"I don't look that bad." She comments looking in the mirror and pulling her hair into a ponytail.
"I wasn't talking about that so much, you look like you've got a lot on your mind."
"Preoccupied? Yea you could say that." Crystal replies sitting down in the chair Lana slept in the previous night.
"What about? I thought you had everything figured out."
"I did until you got drunk and I told Lex everything." Crystal replies bitterly
"I had this dream last night that Lex turned me in, and I became this lab rat, being poked and prodded. You and Lana were both there and you both kept telling me it was for the best, that it would be ok. I felt so betrayed, then I woke up and Lex was sitting there watching you sleep kind of rubbing your hair. Lana was asleep next to me-"
"In this chair."
"Yea and Lex looked over and told me that I gave you guys a scare and he assured me he would never say anything. That I would do the same for him and that I already had. I told Lex I had a secret the day I saved his life."
"True." Crystal reluctantly agrees
"But?"
"But how are we going to convince mom and dad that?" Crystal exclaims
"I guess we're just going to have to have a good time to compensate for the time we wont be having when they get back."
"Right, and when did you exactly plan to go to school or get better during all of this?"
"School tomorrow right?" Clark groans
"It is Monday."
"And mom and dad will be back?"
"Tuesday maybe Wednesday if we're lucky." Crystal replies
"So we have until then to figure out what do to." Clark replies
"Yea until we die." Crystal laughs
********************
"Lana!" Crystal hurries over to greet Lana at her locker. "This is way to weird, being back after all of this." She whispers
"I know." Lana agrees
Crystal rolls her eyes "Clark was running late this morning, is he here yet?"
"Yea. He's been fending himself off from Chloe trying to get a story."
"Oh yea? I wonder who won out."
"I think he won."
"Why?"
"Cause she's headed towards us." Lana grimaces
"Hey Lana, Crystal what's up?" Chloe asks happily
Crystal smiles "Just fine get any good stories lately?"
"Funny you mentioned it." Chloe starts
"Even funnier but I've got to go." Crystal flounces off leaving Lana to fend for herself.
"I have to, too. I've got to make up a test."
"What about later?" Chloe presses
Lana purses her lips "Honestly, I don't want to be a part of your story, you like to write about things that happen, but you don't realize the emotion that goes into it. Seeing your own face pasted onto someone's wall, your story for everyone to know. These stories are people's most major events in their lives-"
"That's why it's so important for me to write about them."
"No that's why it's so imperative that you don't, people, don't want everyone to be able to hear about them and know what they wish they didn't. I don't, Crystal doesn't, and neither does Clark." Lana replies softly as she walks away.
"Well done." Crystal joking applauds Lana "I think you've gotten to her." She says linking arms with Lana as they walk down the hall.
"You were cold." Lana admonishes her
"I was angry, it was a heat of the moment kind of thing."
"Well you had better get yourself straightened out by tomorrow, Clark heard a message your parents left on the machine this morning, you had already left. Your parents are coming home a day early, they'll be home for dinner."
"Tell me your kidding me!" Crystal exclaims "I'm dead, I'm so dead and they'll never let me see Lex again. I should go now, see him I mean. If I get grounded I-"
"If you skip school to see him, you'll be in a lot more trouble then you already are." Lana advises
"All right, besides he's working today anyway."
"Is Clark worried?"
"Surprisingly no."
"He's not."
Lana smiles "If he was then he's good at hiding it."
"Ew Lana, that's Clark all right? I know he's your boyfriend but really come on."
Lana laughs "You should of seen how Clark freaked about you and Lex making out on your bed."
"He told you?!?" Crystal exclaims laughing "You cannot believe how embarrassing that was."
"I can only imagine." Lana replies "Come on let's get to class."
****************
"Crystal will you please stop pacing?" Clark asks irritated that afternoon at their house. Clark is sitting next to Lana on the couch watching t.v, Lana is leaning her head on his shoulders trying to watch the t.v. rather then Crystal's pacing.
"Please sit down." Lana pleads "Call Lex or something."
"I did, he's tied up, and I don't want to pull him away from work, and it would do me no good anyway I keep worrying about them and when they hear this."
"You both decided definitely to tell them?" Lana asks
Clark and Crystal exchange glances "Well we never exactly said that but it just seemed like-" Clark starts
"What we were supposed to do. I mean we told them about telling you." Crystal adds
"And besides-" Clark gets cut off by someone clearing their throat he looks up.
Crystal turns around and the color drains out of her face.
"Good-bye Lana." Jonathan Kent says in a clear and firm voice. He looks to his two children "Sit down. We need to talk."
LOL that's it for now, I'll put what's going to happen with their parents finding out next chapter (lol obviously) a little cruel, but cliffhangers are good that way.
