Clark looked around the loft in the barn and noticed that it was very quiet. Too quiet.
"I wonder where Chloe went" mumbled Clark as he looked out the window to see if she was outside.
"I better find out where she went. It's not like Chloe to leave without saying goodbye"
Clark raced out of the barn and into the house. He went to the phone and dialed the familiar number
Ring Ring
"Hello" answered Chloe
Clark sighed in relief she was home
"Hello is anyone there?"Chloe asked again
"Chloe, it's me Clark. I was calling to see where you had gone to .One minute I was talking to you and when I turned around you were gone ."
"Clark " Chloe said in a hurt voice " you were looking at Lana and you didn't even hear me say goodbye . Clark I left your house about 25 minutes
ago."
Clark sat down in the chair by the phone and realized she was right. It took her atleast 15-20 minutes to walk from his house to hers.
"I'm Sorry Chloe I didn't even realize I did that. Can you forgive me?"
"I guess Clark , I just don't like being put on the back burner when ever you see Lana or when ever she comes around."
"I am really sorry Chloe you know I would never do something like that on purpose. I can't believe I did something so stupid to you after you were nice enough to teach me how to dance and everything...." Clark mumbled as his voice dropped off
"It's ok Clark but can we talk later? I am going to bed early"
"Sure Chloe, I'll see you on the bus tomorrow. Have a good night sleep"
"Thanks you too, bye."
"Bye" said Clark as he put the phone back down.
Clark sat there by the phone thinking about Chloe until his mother came down the stairs.
"Clark , Honey what are you doing sitting here in the dark?" She asked as she switched on a few lights and looked over at the teenage son
"Mom I think I hurt Chloe and I really don't know what to do now"
"Clark what do you mean you hurt Chloe?" Martha asked as she sat down by her son "tell me wahat happened"
Clark then proceeded to tell her what had happened and what Chloe said as he talked to her on the phone.
"Clark I think you hurt Chloe's feelings when you didn't pay attention to her. She has always been there since you two were children and maybe she feels that you don't have time for her. It's really hard to say for sure I think you should talk to her tomorrow and make sure you apoligize for doing that to her."
Clark thought about what his mom had said
"Thanks mom, I'll do that first thing tomorrow. I think I am going to go to bed now. Will you say good night to dad for me"
"Of course Honey. Have a good night"
Clark walked slowly up the stairs to his room and after closing the door he layed uon his bed. He couldn't get Chloe's voice out of his mind. All he could think about is how hurt she sounded and how much it it hurt him to know that he let her down.
Across town a blond would-be reporter cried her self to sleep thinking about
the boy who seemed oblivious to her true feelings for him.
