A/N : Finally, the last chapter.........
Disclaimer : For the last time (on this fic) they're not my characters!
Chloe's POV
"Hey, Chloe" Clark smiled and called to me as I came up the steps in the barn, but his expression changed when he saw Lex behind me.
"Lex" he said flatly.
"Clark, Lex has something to say to you and so do I" I managed to form the sentence without stopping or crying, I actually impressed myself with that.
"Actually, I have something I wanted to say to both of you..." Clark began, but I interrupted him.
"Please, let us go first" I said quickly, desperate to say all I wanted to before I lost my nerve. "Clark, your my best friend and I love you very much but I'm not in love with you, I'm not sure what it was I was feeling but it wasn't that kind of love. With Lex, I feel different, and I know I'm in love this time. I'm sorry if I led you on or if I hurt you but I..." That was it, I started crying again. Lex put his arm around me, but I told him I was okay.
"Really, I'm fine" I lied, still crying too much for it to look like I was telling a truth.
Clark looked pained at the sight of my tears but he didn't come anywhere near me, I guess because of what Lex had said to him before. He didn't move, he didn't speak.
"Clark, I want to apologise for my behaviour, but I love Chloe and I guess I went a little crazy" Lex tried smiling and his friend and Clark actually smiled back at us. I'd never felt so relieved in my life.
"It's okay Lex" he finally spoke, "If it was the other way around I probably would have done worse " Lex only laughed.
"It was once and you did" he said, pointing to the mark on his head that Clark had caused less than a week ago.
"Yeah, sorry about that" Clark said, honestly.
"Enough with the apologies!" I yelled, with mock annoyance. I'd finally managed to stop crying like an idiot and I was sick of hearing the word 'sorry'!
"Okay, Chloe, breathe!" Clark joked, before turning serious again. "I still have that thing I needed to tell you"
I motioned to Lex and we both sat down, I had this awful feeling it was going to be something awful.
"Okay, go on" I told him.
"Well, it's about what happened at the Torch..."
"Clark, can't we just let that go" Lex asked, but apparently not!
"No, this is important. I guess it was just weird seeing you with someone else and I stated to think maybe I didn't want Lana after all, that maybe I really did want Chloe..."
I half closed my eyes and prayed he was not about to say he was in love with me or something. After the past week I don't think I could take it. Fortunately, that wasn't' what he had in mind.
"But, after we kissed, I realised what I'd done was wrong. I loved Lana and I knew you two were happy and I guess I was just confused for a while there"
"Your not the only one" I admitted, but ever the reporter I had a question. "But Clark, if you knew right after you kissed me that you wanted Lana and not me, why didn't you say so sooner?"
Clark looked at Lex and blushed slightly - now I really was worried!
"I was going to come and tell you, when Lex showed up here. When he told me he'd seen us together I was about to explain when he started threatening to hurt me!"
Now Lex blushed, I don't think he could quite believe how ridiculous he'd been.
"Then there was a noise" Clark continued "and we found you on the stairs. By that time I'd lost my nerve"
I smiled. Finally, the whole thing was sorted out. It was now that Lana chose to show up at the barn.
"Are you having a party?" she asked as she came up the steps and saw us all.
"Not exactly" I told her, causing laughter amongst Lex, Clark and myself. Poor Miss Lang looked confused. I had no reason to hate her anymore and I couldn't help but feel sorry for her, being the one that got left out of the joke. However, I did not feel bad enough to explain it all to her. I simply said that we should be going (referring to Lex and I) and we left the other two lover-birds alone.
Finally, my double crush had become a single love. I had know idea then, but in just a few years time Clark and Lana would be married, and not long after that I would become Mrs Chloe Sullivan-Luthor.
