A/N : Okay, I'm feeling generous again so I've posted two chapters for you. After I posted chapter 3, I realised I had more reviews than I thought for chapter 2, (something weird was happening on the reviews page ?!) so I would like to say thankyou to; NeeterDilly, Stephanie, Kristin, Lrnd and EvilFaerieChick for reviewing chapter 2 and also; Kate, Stephanie(again), Carly, scifichick774, nana and Merrie for their reviews of chapter 3.

Okay, so now that's all done, here is chapter 4...

Disclaimer : As usual, I own nothing!

A scream shattered the first few hours of sleep Lex Luthor had had in four days. He opened his eyes and sat up with a start. He noticed Chloe moving in her sleep, it was clear that the noise had come from her. Her body jerked violently and she was saying words that were indistinguishable to anyone but the figures of her nightmare. Lex got out of his bed and moved towards the one in which Chloe was stirring.

If asked why he did it, he would have said he wanted her to shut up so he could get some sleep, but the honest answer would have been that he was worried about her. He had no idea why she was in the hospital but she had obviously been through a bad time. She had been all cuts and bruises when she came in to the hospital and she had been unconscious for most of the four days she had spent there. Lex had hardly slept at all until tonight when his bodies need for sleep outdid the power of his battle with his own conscience.

"Chloe" he said softly, "come on, wake up"

But Chloe did not wake up. Instead she flung her arms out in her sleep and grabbed Lex's arm, pulling him down by her side. He sat down on the edge of her bed and did not try to take his arm away.

With her hands wrapped tightly around Lex's arm, Chloe found comfort in the real world and the dream world and she drifted back to a peaceful sleep. Now, it was completely possible for Lex to remove his arm from Chloe's grip and go back to his own bed and sleep, but he didn't. He was too shocked to move. He was shocked by a feeling he was having, a deep and strong feeling that he got from knowing he had helped someone.

Back in the tranquillity of a calm sleep, Chloe looked at peace with the world. Lex was struck by how beautiful she was. He thought it strange that he had never noticed before, but than he had never really looked at her like that. Besides she was Clark's friend, not his, in fact she was more that friends with Clark now. Even after thinking this Lex did not leave Chloe's side. Something made him stay beside her, a feeling he could not identify, but a feeling he did not want to lose.

As he sat watching her sleep, her hair fell over her face. With his spare hand, Lex pushed the blonde strands out of Chloe's eyes and she smiled in her sleep. Lex felt himself smiling too as he watched her sleep until he saw the sun rise up over the hills of Smallville.

A/N : More Chlex stuff in chapter 5...
