Chloe's p.o.v.

I had to keep walking.

I also had to stop crying.

I didn't even realize I was until I could only see blurs. I doubt I was even that far from the school, but at that point I didn't have the best grasp of what was going on around me.

I didn't even feel him grab my arm, and I could barely make out his face as he pulled me towards him.

Clark's p.o.v.

I had to know what was going on. I needed her to talk to me.

Then I saw her crying.

The only other time I had seen Chloe cry was when she was five

and her cat got ran over by a car. She only shed a few tears then

made me promise never to tell anyone. This was different.



She was bawling like there was no tomorrow, but quietly enough

to not attract any attention, not that there was anyone around

besides me; the school was empty.



The scary thing was that she didn't realize that she was bawling.



She just kept walking like everything was normal.



When I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards me, it seemed as if

I was her out of the little world of sorrow she seemed to be so lost

in.

"Clark?" she seemed to be surprised.

"Chloe, everything is going to OK."

With that said, she fell into my arms and continued to cry. After

about a minute she started telling what was going on; the phone

call, and the picture.

I asked if I could see the picture.

Between seeing her crying like that, and then seeing this picture, it

took all my strength to hold her and not cry myself.

Chloe's p.o.v.

This was too much. I needed to just let go of reality to a certain

extent. So while in Clark's arms, I found some peace and

reassurance.

She falls apart by herself

No ones there to talk or understand

Feels sustained, dries here eyes

Finds herself, opens the door inside

People see right through you

Everyone who knew you well

Falls apart, might as well

Day is long and nothing is wasteful

Runaway runaway

Hold, hold you but your going away

Runaway runaway

(Want) Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today

You walk along by yourself

There's no sound, nothing is changing

Been gone away, left you there

Emptiness is nothing you can't share

All those words that hurt you

More than you would let it show

Comes apart, by yourself

All is well and everything is wasted

Runaway runaway

(Want) Hold (Want) hold you but your going away

Runaway runaway

(Want) Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today

Sometimes we'll feel around and this dance instead can't be down

All the sound of me on my own

Any sound of me again it's time away surround around a friend

I know where I know where no where to runaway

She falls apart, no one there

Hold her hand, it seems to disappear

Falls apart, might as well

Day is long and nothing is wasted

Runaway runaway

(Want) Hold (Want) hold you but your going away

Runaway runaway

(Want) Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today

Runaway Runaway

Hold (Want) hold you (Want) but your going away

But your leaving today, but your leaving today

Clark walked me home and asked me if I was still going to the dance that night. I told him that I was.

Then I had a brilliant idea.

As he was walking away, I yelled out, "And maybe I can pull you away from Lana long enough for one full song?"

He smiled his amazing smile and yelled back, "I promise."

After he left I wondered how many more up and down/ down and up days it would take before I would be able to get a Prozac prescription.
