The Choice
By Misha
Disclaimer- I totally do not own any of the characters of Smallville (though I wish I owned Lex!), they belong to a lot of people with more money than me. I am not making any money off using them in this story, so please don't sue me.
Author's Notes- Okay, this is really short; the story itself is less than 250 words. I just wanted to right an alternate ending to the last scene of ÒCrushÓ. I considered making the ending open, so that you could insert whichever girl you like, whether you're a Clark/Lana fan or a Clark/Chloe fan, but... In the end, my own shipperness took over and I ended it the way I wanted the episode to end. I hope you enjoy it!
Spoilers- Crush

Clark looked from Chloe to Lana. They were both beckoning to him.
All he had to do was step towards one of them and the choice would be made. He would have crossed one of those lines.
Or he could just stand still and let the moment pass once more. Let things stay the same.
No. He had let the opportunity pass him by once before, he wasn't going to do it again.
He looked at each carefully once more. Lana, his dream girl; Chloe, his best friend.
It was hard to choose between them, but he let his heart guide him. He took a step towards one of the girls and allowed the other door to close as he did so.
In the pouring rain of the cemetary, he stepped quietly to his chosen girl's side, laying a gentle hand on her arm.
She looked up at him, quietly acknowledging what had begun.
The other girl sadly stepped back as Clark led the girl he had chosen out of the cemetery.
It wouldn't be easy and there was still a major obstacle in their path, but Clark had faith that things would finally work out. There was no turning back now.
Clark looked at Lana and saw the truth of that in her eyes.
He had made his choice for better or worse, this was the road he had chosen and he was going to follow it.
