4 o'clock of the afternoon, at the Kent's farm.
Pete drove to Clark's house. He really needed some serious talk there. He got there as fast as he could before meeting Chloe. He knocked on the door. The woman opened it.
"Pete, how are you?" asked Martha with a warm smile.
"I'm doing great Mrs. Kent do you have any idea where's Clark?" asked Pete with a worried look.
"He's at his loft. Is something wrong?" she asked starting to be worried too.
"Nothing that you should truly be worrying about, Mrs Kent." he said confidently.
"It's about Chloe isn't it?" she asked.
"Yeah. As much as it bothers me to say this, with all my respect, you should stay out of this please."
"If its that important, I'll stay out. But if you have any problems, you know who to call?"
"You, Mrs Kent."
"Now go, I have the feeling that running against time."
"Thanks." he said leaving Mrs Kent alone.
She watched him go to the loft. She was hoping that this story will soon end up as it should. No injuries, no blood, no heart break. Just as it should, as much as she was opposed to that, Chloe and Lex shall stay together. This though was maybe crazy but it was the most reasonable among all the others.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * At the fortress of Solitude.
"Kent, How are you?"
"Great." the dark haired boy answered against his own will.
"I know you are lying Clark." he said to his friend.
"If you know it then why do you even bother asking me how I'm doing! It's all my fault. I lost Chloe! Now she is with Lex and she almost slept with him!" he said completely loosing all his sanity.
"You mean.. No! You haven't used you powers! Clark, I swear. You are going crazy, man, you have to stop this. I don't want a freak of the week friend." he said hopelessly.
"Now I'm a freak of the week, thanks Pete, you are really cheering me up!" Said Clark.
"That's not what I meant. Mostly the freaks are acting like this because they want revenge, you just talked like them. Did you even realize it? It's bad man. I'm not saying that you should get over Chloe. Because that's impossible."
"Yeah. It is impossible." said Clark softly. He was starting to smile.
"You are scaring me now. Tell me that I haven't give you an idea."
"You haven't gave me any idea Pete, you gave me a great one." he said with a big smile.
"Chill out man. I beginning to think that you want to follow this Idea of mine."
"I'm following it! You can be sure about that!" he said with a wider smile.
"Okay. I'm ready to hear you out but hurry I have another place to be!"
"You are going to say to Chloe that I need to talk to her. That I want to say to her how much I'm sorry, to make her understand that I'm okay with it. But.. there is a big but. I'm determined to take her back. Will you help me?" he asked with puppy face.
"Yeah. I'm only helping you for one reason."
"What reason?"
"I 'gave you the idea'." he said to his delusional friend.
"Thanks." Clark said to his best friend.
And they talked about the 'plan'.

At the Talon.
Chloe was still waiting a fifteen minutes late Pete. She was taping the table with her fingers. Somebody closed her eyes.
"Who turned off the lights?" she said like she was beginning to panic.
"Me!" said the voice behind her.
"You are late." she said to Pete with a pouting face.
"I only repaid you for all the time you've been late to all our rendezvous'." he said smiling like crazy.
"We are here to talk serious. I'm sorry that underestimated you about my relationship with Lex and I. It's just that you hate him because of all the things his father had done to your family. Not that it was a valuable excuse but it was underlined in my mind. Like some trespassing warning." she said in a hurry.
So Pete decided to do the same.
"Well, I'm fine and I'm happy that you're fine. I registered everything that you just said to me. I wasn't aware that a simple trespassing warning could stop you, Chloe. You just created this excuse so you could just buy me off easily . And I have the appropriate sacrilege for you."
"What is it?" she asked getting curious about this warning.
"You'll have to talk to Clark. Don't interrupt me. You need to clear this out with him. He has this idea about you that you still love him and everything. So that's why I suggest this, okay. Take it cool, I don't want to be stuck between the two of you. Is that clear?" he said to her with a voice filled with confidence.
"Yes. You know what? You should really think about going into law school. You can really freak out people with this look you have." she said to her friend with a nice smile.
"So are you going?"
"You mean, like now!" she shouted.
"Yeah. The sooner the better." he said to her with a smile.
"Was this a trap or something so you could get rid of me?"
"No! How can you think that about me? I'm hurt." he said putting his hand on his heart.
"You better! Okay, I'm going, will you call Clark? for me?"
"Yeah. Now hurry."
"Is he expecting me?"
"No, he is moping around. He's almost crying Chloe."
"Oh." she said with a sad face sympathizing Clark's sadness.
With their last words Chloe left the Talon not aware of what was really going on.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
In Clark's room..
Clark received Pete's call signalling Chloe's arrival. He was getting himself ready. He had used his power to go fast to his house and take a shower. He was now wearing a simple pair off jeans. He heard a knock on his door. He opened it and saw a gaping Chloe.
"You, your mother said that you were in your room."
"I see that you found me Chloe." he said with a big smile on his face.
He was still wet a little and his hair were soaked. Formed with little curls. God, that was a vision. She was getting hot now.
"Pete called me, he said that you agreed about us solving the issue." he continued.
She completely erased her naughty and misplaced thoughts about Clark.
"Yeah. Lex and Lana said the same thing about that. We shouldn't let our friendship die like this. Right? If you want to put an end to it, I'm stopping you right away! I don't want you to ignore me like I did to you. Sure you have every right because I was kind of snubbing you. And-" she got interrupted by a finger on her lips to hushed her.
"I don't want to end our friendship too, Chloe. Lana told me that Lex was Metropolis. You must be missing him?" he said with his finger still on her lips.
She looked at him with wide opened eyes. Her blue eyes were transformed into a 'sure I can answer you but I have a finger glued to my lips' sign. She wanted to talk but this finger was still sealing her lips. He pulled his finger back to let her talk.
"I miss him." she answered with sadness in her voice.
"Do you love him like you used to love me?" he asked her with innocence in his voice.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * Sorry guys! I had to cut this short because it would have become a composition with 11 pages already so I thought, why not another chapter? So the second part of this chapter is to come, eventually. You'll have to wait! Not for a long time but I think it will be enough.
