part 3



Chloe hadn't been sitting in the tree house for long before she heard a sound coming from below.

After wiping the tears from her eyes she moved towards the hole in the floor. Looking down she could see that Clark was starting to climb up.

Oh god, she thought, I didn't think he remembered about this place. What am I going to do now???

Clark meanwhile had already climbed to the top of the ladder and was starting to climb through.

"Hi stranger." said Clark as he looked up into Chloe's face. She looked like her heart had been broken. OH My God, thought Clark, I Did This To Her.

Chloe didn't say a word. She just looked at him. She couldn't trust her self to talk to him without bursting into tears.

"OK don't talk just listen." started Clark as he moved in to the small space and sat down beside Chloe who was now sitting down in one of the beanbag chairs.

"I wanted you to know how sorry I am for what happened back there. I had no right to ignore you like that. You are my best friend and I can't believe I did ....."

"Best friend? Clark let me tell you something you don't act like a best friend." said Cloe as she jumped to her feet." You don't even treat me like a good friend. It's always***Chloe won't mind that I cancel at the last minute. or Chloe doesn't care If I totally ignore her as long as I get to talk to Lana Lang***. Look at today I was trying to tell you something important but nooooo Lana had to come in and It was goodbye Chloe and Hello Lana...... Clark don't you dare interrupt me , I am far from finished with you yet *".

Clark sat back down, he couldn't belive everything she was saying. It was true that sometimes he kind of forgot about other people when Lana came around but he didn't think he was that bad. Now thinking back he realized everything she was saying was true. He really did ignore her when Lana came around.



Chloe was still talking about what Clark had done and she hadn't really realized that Clark had tuned her out.He finally came out of his daze when he heard Chloe mutter, "......and that is why we shouldn't be friends any more."

"What!!" exclaimed Clark. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. She didn't want to be friends anymore.

" Chloe I know I haven't been there but I promise to make it up to you..."

"NO Clark I really don't want to play second fiddle to every other person in your life. I was your best friend and I want to tell you that if that is how you treat your friends I would hate to see how you treat your enemies."

By this time the two teens were standing only a couple of feet apart. Both were breathing hard and both looked very upset.

Clark tries to reach out his hand towards Chloe but she just stepped back away from it."Chloe please can we talk about this.I don't want to loose you."

"Clark, you lost me today when you forgot I was even in the same room as you. I deserve better. I think you had better leave." said Chloe as she moved towards the window.She couldn't look at him right now. It hurt too much.

"Chloe please ...."started Clark .

"Please Clark if our friendship meant anything to you will you just leave right now. "

"Fine Chloe I'll leave and let you have some time to yourself.

Just please call me later, I think we should talk some more I don't want to lose you."

Chloe just shrugged her shoulders as she couldn't talk.

Clark looked at her one last time before he turned and walked toward the ladder. He couldn't really believe how bad he had screwed up. He could only hope that with time she could forgive him. As he walked away from the tree house he barely heard Chloe's last remark.

"Good bye Clark...I love you."
