A/N : Starts right from where Chapter 5 left off! Hope you like it!
Chloe's POV
I walked over to him, put my arms around him and kissed him just as madly as I wanted to. He responded to what I started and it was even better than I'd remembered. Was it because I'd fallen for him? Was I in love?
We were so involved in each other that neither of us heard the door open or Lex's visitor enter the room.
"Oh, sorry Lex!" I heard a familiar voice say. We parted at the sound of the voice and turned to see the owner of it - Clark.
A range of emotions flashed across his face as he realised what was going on. I looked to Lex for an idea of what to do next. He looked blankly back at me. I looked back to Clark, he looked so hurt. For a moment I thought he might just break down to tears. I blamed myself, quite rightly. I opened my mouth to speak, to apologise, but no words came out.
"Clark, I'm sorry" I heard Lex say for me. As he spoke I watched Clarks expression change. What had been pure hurt became pure anger. He had a strange and dangerous look in his eyes that kind of scared me. He was glaring a Lex and I knew violence was inevitable.
"Look Clark, I know this is rough on you, but if you just listen to what I have to say..." Lex tried to be as reasonable as possible, but Clark was mad, madder than I'd ever seen him before, and he started coming at Lex in a rage. I put myself between them, in a moment or sheer bravery or stupidity, I'm not sure which.
"Chloe, move!" Clark ordered me, but I refused. How ever mad he got, I knew Clark would not and could not physically hurt me, even though I had no doubt that I had hurt him in the most awful way imaginable.
"Clark, this is not all down to Lex, it's my fault too!" I said, tears starting to form in my eyes.
He turned to look at me now, his expression changing back to hurt again. My words seem to have the strangest effect. Whatever Lex said made Clark more and more angry, but I could stop his madness with just a few words of my own. I could see his eyes glaze with tears as he spoke.
"I thought we could be happy," he said, "I thought we were happy" his voice was barely above a whisper.
"I know" I replied, as water cascaded from my eyes, "and we were happy, but I don't know, I just..." I couldn't carry on. I had know idea what to say to him and even if I had, a fresh bout of tears took my breath away and stopped all speech immediately.
If Lex had have kept still and quiet, I think maybe we'd have been okay, but I knew seeing me in this state was tearing him apart. He put his hand on my shoulder, as a way to comfort me and stop my tears but all it did was cause a Clarks mood to change, and not for the better.
Clark seemed to have been calming down, but seeing Lex's hand on my shoulder brought back his anger twice as fast as it had left him.
I don't think I will ever understand quite how he did it, I guess it was a mixture of anger, adrenaline and the fact that he caught Lex off-guard, but with one punch to the face, Clark managed to deposit Lex on the opposite side of the room.
I am not a squeamish person, I never have been, but seeing the blood pouring from the head of one I care so much for made me feel sick.
I ran to Lex's side and he was still conscious. I glanced at Clark and wondered how he could have done such a thing. The look on his face told me he had not planned quite such a violent attack, maybe he was even sorry. I turned my attention back to Lex, just as he pulled himself up and began speaking to me softly.
"Chloe, I want you to get out of here"
"Why?" I cried, "I don't want to leave you like this!"
"I'm fine he assured me and I promise I will call you as soon as this is sorted out"
I believed him and I trusted him but I wasn't quite so sure I trusted Clark right now. In this mood he seemed capable of anything. But Lex obviously knew what he was doing so I agreed to go.
"Be careful!" I said as I stood up to leave.
"I will" he replied and then moving his mouth close to my ear he whispered, "Remember, I love you"
I didn't say it back, although I was pretty sure I felt it. I just smiled and took one last look at Clark before I left.
Clark had told me that he loved me before, I had said it back and I had meant it too. I saw then that it was different. The love I had felt for Clark was the love of a friend mixed with a silly high school girls crush.
I guess that's how it had started with Lex, but it was much more than that now. I had fallen in love, hopelessly and eternally with Lex Luthor.
