Chapter 38- Stay Away From The Cement, Chlo!
Author's Note: When is this story going to be over??? It is taking entirely too long to write and becoming entirely too long. At this point it is 49,732 words long!! Give me a break! It is taking so much effort and hard work to put together! If it weren't for FindMe I would give up now! But, she insists that it's a good story…so, on I go. Okay…rant is now over! This story needs to be wrapped up quickly. (Then I can write the Clex that NymphDuPave requested. ::licks lips hungrily at thought of Clex:: Yummy!) Now, onto more story…
"Be safe," Clark said as Chloe stepped out of the car.
"I am so not in the mood for that right now," Chloe said rolling her eyes.
"I mean it," Clark said, his tone matching hers.
Chloe slammed the car door in response. She walked quickly up the walkway and into the mansion. After fifteen minutes of searching she finally found Lex by the pool.
"Where have you been?" Lex asked without even glancing at Chloe.
"You know where I was," Chloe said still aggravated from her talk with her friends.
"Tell me," Lex said walking to her.
"I was in Metropolis," Chloe said crossing her arms in front of herself.
"With?" Lex asked in anger.
"Don't play games, Lex," Chloe told him.
"But games are all we have," Lex said.
"So I get the same comebacks you give Lionel? How sweet," Chloe said sarcastically.
"Why are you here?" Lex asked hotly.
"You wanted me to come. Here I am," Chloe said.
Lex put his hand behind her head and forcefully kissed her.
"Lex!" Chloe said in surprise. "Stop it!"
"Why?" Lex hissed.
"Why are you doing this? What is it?" Chloe asked.
"Just trying to see if my Dad was right," Lex said.
"About what?" Chloe asked not really wanting to know the answer.
"If you love me or not," Lex said grabbing her for another kiss.
Chloe put her palms on his shoulders and pushed him away. "And this is supposed to prove that? Forcing me to kiss you?"
Lex growled in response.
"You can growl all you want. It doesn't bother me a bit. You don't scare me, Lex," Chloe said defiantly.
"I should," Lex sneered.
"Why?" Chloe asked.
"Look at who I am," Lex said.
"Lex, you don't even know who you are," Chloe said sincerely. She walked to him and put her hands on his chest.
"Don't," Lex said knocking her hands away.
"Lex, I'm sorry. Tell me what you want me to do," Chloe said calmly.
"Leave me alone," Lex said, his back to Chloe.
"You don't want that," Chloe said, regretting the way she had acted.
"You don't know what I want," Lex said distantly.
"Talk to me. Please?" Chloe asked moving to stand in front of him. Lex immediately started to turn. "No. Look at me," she said grabbing his arm gently.
"What did you do in Metropolis?" Lex asked. He spat the words like poison.
"I shopped. Lex, you know that," Chloe said.
"Then where are your bags?" Lex asked not trusting her.
Chloe turned away from him. "They're in Clark's car," she said in frustration.
"Of course they are," Lex sneered.
Chloe turned around abruptly. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"You know what it means," Lex said, once again walking away.
Chloe grabbed his arm, and jerked him around. "Why don't you tell me? Why won't you get this obsession with me and Clark out of your head?"
"You and him almost kissed at the dance last year. Is that really nothing?" Lex asked daring Chloe to answer.
"Keyword: almost. Did he also tell you that he left me at the dance after he promised not to?" Chloe asked, the memory bringing back hurt feelings. "He left me."
"Whatever," Lex said turning again.
"You better get the hell back here!" Chloe shouted.
"Why?" Lex hissed.
"You are damn wrong if you think you're going to make a comment like that and walk away," Chloe said grabbing a hold of Lex.
"Let me go!" Lex almost shouted.
"Not until you talk to me," Chloe said matching Lex's tone.
"You crossed the line," Lex said knocking Chloe off of himself.
Lex's forceful push knocked Chloe backwards. She slipped on the wet floor and fell. Her head slammed into the cement wall surrounding the hot tub. Her eyes swam as she looked up at Lex.
"I told you to let go," Lex said fiercely.
"No," Chloe whispered.
Lex's foot shot out and kicked Chloe in the stomach.
"Ahh," Chloe moaned.
"Next time maybe you'll listen," Lex said kicking her again and again.
Chloe tried to shield herself, but blacked out when the pain became too much.

Chloe was brought out of the haze when her phone rang. She tried to lift her head and yelped with the pain that accompanied it. She blindly fished for her phone in her pocket. Her head throbbed with the effort to think. When she brought her phone to her face she saw that the call came from the Kents. She flipped the phone open.
"Hello?" she whispered, trying to blink away the fog in her head.
"Chloe? Where are you?" Clark asked.
"Clark?" Chloe asked while trying to sit up. The effort was too much and she passed out as another wave of pain hit her.
"Chloe? Chloe?" Clark asked getting louder each time. Chloe didn't answer. Clark heard a banging noise when the phone slipped out of Chloe's hand. "I'm coming Chloe! I'll be right there." If only he knew where 'there' was.
