Clark watched as his friend, Chloe, put the final touches on their school's daily newspaper. He glanced at his watch. His parents should be home heading home from their weekend trip to Metropolis by now.
"Am I boring you, Clark?"
"Huh?" He shoook his head. "No, I'm just thinking."
Chloe sighed. "About Lana Lang, no doubt." When was he going to forget about the ex-cheerleader and focus on her?
"Actually, I was thinking about my parents. They should be on their way back from Metropolis."
"Oh yeah! Did you talk to them before they left?"
Clark was about to reply, when the phone rang. He picked it up instead. "This is Clark Kent."
Chloe looked up at him. His mouth was slightly open in and he looked a little pale. The phone slipped from his hands as he sank back into the chair.
"Clark?" Chloe asked in concern. "Clark, answer me! What happened?"
He stood up and grabbed his jacket. "My parents were in a car accident. I- I gotta go."
Chloe watched him rush out the door. "Clark!" she called, but he was already gone. Knowing that he shouldn't be alone, Chloe picked up the phone. She had to find Pete and Lana.
****************
Clark ran into the emergency room of Smallville General, looking around for any signs of his parents. "Excuse me!" he said, stopping a doctor. "My parents were in a car accident, they were brought here."
"Their names?" he asked, without looking up from his chart.
"Jonathan and Martha Kent." The Doctor took his first look at Clark.
He nodded. "Follow me...?"
"Clark."
"Clark. I'm Doctor Branson," he said. "They were hit head on by a drunk driver." Clark nodded. Drunk drivers were rare in Smallville, but they were around. "Their both in critical condition."
Clark took a deep breath. "Can I see them?"
"Before I let you see them, there's something else you need to know?" Clark stared at him. What more could possibly be wrong with this whole situation? "They're both in a coma."
*************** How is it so far? I hope you all like it so far!
