She walked slowly along the silent road. The rain poured down, making loud splashing noises on the ground. She pulled her jacket closer and cleared her throat. She didn't know how long she had been walking but it felt like hours.
Breathing in the cold air, she turned around and watched the road she'd been walking on. She could still see his mansion as she lifted her head a little.
Filling her nostrils with the cold air again, she felt her body gradually fall onto the wet ground.
"You're a mess Chloe," she said to herself as tears welled up in her eyes.
Her mind wandered back to the first time they met. She had just finished class and when she entered the Torch, she was met by Lex Luthor. She never imagined them to become more than friends, at that time she never thought they would even speak again.
"Lex," she quietly sobbed against the palm of her hands.
She collapsed into a pile of water, her whole body trembling. In the distance, she could hear a car. As it came closer and stopped next to her, everything suddenly became blurry. The person called out her name, but she couldn't register who it belonged to. She closed her eyes and felt herself drift slowly away. Then all became black.

Chloe opened her eyes gently and shifted uncomfortably on the couch. Her head was spinning. She lifted her head to the side, and the sight that met her left her completely of guard.
"Lex," she exclaimed loudly.
He smiled warmly and wrapped the blanket that was around her tighter.
"I was worried," he said, brushing a lock of blond hair from her face and behind her ear.
"What happened?" she asked softly.
"You obviously decided to take a nap outside in the rain."
Her eyes widened as she remembered. After ending their affair and she had left the mansion, she discovered that she didn't have a ride back home. So she decided to walk. It suddenly started to rain and she couldn't get Lex off her mind. Then she just had some kind of breakdown. Breakdown? No way in heaven it could have been a breakdown. Chloe Sullivan just didn't break downs for a guy. Not even Lex Luthor.
"You brought me here?"
Lex shook his head.
"No, Clark did."
"What? How? When? Where is he now?" she panicked.
"Calm down." He placed his hands on her shoulders. "He's calling your father."
Chloe sighed and put her face in her hands.
"God, this can't be good. He knows. He knows about us Lex."
Lex shook his head. "I can assure you that he doesn't." He rose form the couch and turned his back to her. "I'm sorry, Chloe."
She looked up. "For what Lex?"
He rubbed his eyes tiredly. "For everything.You could have died out there Chloe."
"Look Lex, that wasn't your fault. I could of told you I needed a ride back into town but I couldn't. I wouldn't." she said softly.
He turned around to face her again. She looked so beautiful, so innocent.
"Why?" he simply asked as he sat down beside her again.
She breathed deeply. "Because I didn't want you to see me like this, miserable and sad. The moment I walked out your door, I regretted everything I said Lex. I wanted to take it back, but my pride took the best of me. I just couldn't."
Lex cupped her face in his hands and stared deeply into her eyes.
"I'm sorry about what I did tonight, with Clark and all," he said. "He asked me and if I said no, he would be suspicious."
She nodded. "I know that now Lex, and I'm sorry I overreacted."
He smiled and stroke his fingertips over her lips.
"Your lips." he started.
"Yeah?" She closed her eyes.
".they're blue." He laughed.
"Well, maybe you could make them better," she offered.
"Maybe," his voice trailed off as he moved his head closer to hers. Their lips touched for a spilt second before they heard noises from the other side of the door.
Lex jumped quickly to his feet and coughed loudly.
"Hey Clark," he waved.
"Chloe, you're awake," Clark smiled and rushed over to his girlfriend. He planted kisses all over her face.
Lex coughed again and turned around, not to face the happy couple.
"Umm Clark, I think that's enough. I'm okay now," Chloe reassured her boyfriend.
"You had me worried there for a second. What were you doing here this time at night? I thought you went straight home," he asked.
Chloe swallowed hard. She'd better come up with a good excuse if she wanted him to believe her.
"She wanted to thank me for helping you guys with the dinner tonight. I offered her a ride home, but she.," Lex said before he was cut off ."
"But I refused. I wanted to take a long walk, but then it suddenly started to rain and it was cold and I sort of collapsed. I guess I was tired," she finished.
For a moment it looked like Clark didn't believe them, but when a smiled formed itself across his face they knew he had bought their little lie.
"I called your father and he's on his way over."
Chloe smiled as he hugged her. Over his shoulder, she caught Lex's eyes and sighed happily.
