Finding Truth

Chapter 4, The Field

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Before, Clark had taken her to the windmill. They had sat on top and saw all of Metropolis. It was so beautiful. She remembered that day so well. Normally Clark was always there for her, but that day he hadn't been at school. This day wasn't close to the one she had experienced with Clark. Today was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain. The sky was an almost gray. Lana reached the field. Looking up at the windmill she wanted to climb it, but didn't think it was possible since she didn't have Clark next to her. The wind blew her hair around as she looked at the top.

Slowly, but surly it started to rain. It was the perfect ending to a horrible day. The rain started to pick up and before she knew it, it was poring. She was socked to the bone in a matter of minuets. Lana didn't seem to care all that much. She didn't want to home or do anything else for that matter. Her hair was flattened to her face. Water was trickling down her skin. That day all she wanted to do was remember what had happened to her. Now all she wanted was forget it all.

Still standing on the now wet grass Lana tried hard to remember what had been said between them.

A flash of lightning came from a cloud above. She stood shocked at the sound and light coming from the sky. It was beautiful. And with that spark of electricity, things started to come back to Lana. She figured that the conversation had to be of some importance if it kept coming back to her like a shadow in the night. She stood at a stand still as she tried remembered what she had forgotten…

*******************

Clark: "Lana? What's going on… does Lex know you have his car?"

Lana looks back surprised to see Clark, but shows a smile.

Lana: "He should by now."

Clark: "Look, something happened to you I just don't know what it is."

Lana: "Its called self confidence. For the first time I'm not repressing my feelings. I'm free…"

Clark: "No you're not."

Lana: "You should talk. You had me in the pool and you didn't take your chance. I see the way you look at me why don't you just tell me how you feel?"

Clark: "Lana you're sick I need to get you to a hospital."

Lana: "Don't avoid the question Clark.

Lana: "Are you in love me?"

Clark: "Lana?"

Lana: "You're such a cowered… You can't even answer one single question."

Starting to climb up the ladder.

Lana: "You want me? Come and get me!"

Clark: "Lana stop!"

Lana: "What's the matter Clark afraid of heights?"

Clark: "What are you doing? Come down!"

Ladder starts to shack. Lana gets a fainting feeling.

She lets go of the ladder and quickly falls from the windmill.

Clark: "Lana!"

Lana ends up landing in Clark's strong arms. She looks up at him.

Lana: "Clark…"

*******************

Lana remembered all of what she said. And more importantly what Clark said to her. The details where a little sketchy but the main idea was there.

"Are you in love with me?" Lana said over in her mind.
