Author note: This is my first time writing a Chloe and Clark story, but not my last. Please read and review. ENJOY!! :)
Author Note #2: I don't know if Metropolis is supposed to be in Kansas or not, but in this story, it's a long ways away from Smallville.
~*~Smallville~*~Smallville~*~Smallville~*~Smallville~*~Smallville~*~Smallville~*~ Smallville~*~
Chloe walked up all the stairs to where Clarks couch and telescope is. She sat down on the couch for a second and decided that she couldn't sit, she was too nervous. So she looked out his telescope and up at the stars.
After about five minutes the stars got boring and she went looking around wondering what else she could see from the telescope. She could see Lana's house perfectly.
"Oh Clark please don't tell me you..." and then she spotted Clark coming out of Lana's house and she started to get really nervous. She followed him with the telescope. Clark suddenly stopped, looked around, and the next moment he wasn't there anymore. Chloe took her eye away from the telescope she was a little confused, "What?" She put her eye back to the telescope and started to look around for Clark.
"Hey Chloe," Chloe screamed so loud that Clark had to cover his ears.
"How the hell did you get here?" Chloe asked him still shocked to see him.
"Um... I walked?" Clark said being a little confused of Chloe's question.
"I saw you in the telescope just a few seconds ago. How did you get here so fast?" She said allowing Clark to understand her question from before.
"I ran," Chloe gave him her, 'Yeah right' eyes, "really fast," He didn't know what she would say next so he just changed the subject, "Mom and dad said you had something important to tell me."
"Oh yeah, that," she said very a little hint of sadness. "Um... well, remember how I told you that my dad was thinking of moving to Metropolis for good?"
"Yeah," Clark said. Chloe opened her mouth to say something and Clark got what she was getting to, "You're moving aren't you?" Chloe was on the brink of tears again. Clark couldn't believe his best friend was moving away and there was nothing he could do about it. Actually he could do something, he could hug her, and hold her, hopping never to let go. And that's just what he did. He hugged her and held her.
Chloe was so happy. She felt so safe and at this moment she wished he was hugging her for a different reason, "So when are you leaving?" She heard him ask her.
"Tomorrow morning," she spoke into his chest.
Clark's whole body went stiff and Chloe felt it. Of course it was mumbled because she spoke into his chest, but Clark wondered if her heard right. He backed away a little and asked in a confused state, "Can you repeat that? I could swear I heard you say tomorrow."
Chloe looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "I did."
"What?! You can't leave tomorrow!" Clark said.
"Clark I have to."
"What about your friends, the senior prom, graduation," and then he really wished he didn't have to bring up anything to do with a dance. He knew she was still a little upset with that even though she said she wasn't.
Chloe started crying some more. She misunderstood what Clark said, "Clark, I'm going to a different city, not a different planet. We will still see each other," she said a little loud with a hint of upset in her voice. She then added, "Prom," she let out a laugh, "And what Clark leave me there, again," Chloe bit her lip wishing to God she didn't say that.
Clark smiled, "I thought you said you weren't upset."
"I'm not upset that you saved Lana. I'm upset that you went out there in a tornado. I was so scared when you went out there. I didn't know if you were dead or alive. I was so petrified," she started crying a little more. Clark moved closer as though to hug her, but she kept on talking, "Clark you think your some kind of super man with super powers that enables you to save everyone with out getting hurt," Clark's eyes went a little wide wondering if she knew anything. "But Clark you're not! Someday there is going to be something out there that's going to hurt you." Clark knew that there was already something out there that can hurt him.
"I'm sorry Chloe. I didn't mean to scare you."
Chloe took note that he didn't say anything thing else about what she said, "I'm sorry too Clark. I didn't come here to fight with you. I came here to tell you something. Something that I better say now before I talk myself out of it."
Clark knew that this had to be important, "Tell me Chloe." He sat on the sill of the very large window in the barn.
Chloe turned around so her back was facing him. She whipped her eyes clean of tears and tried to calm her nerves. She turned back around and looked in at him and said, "I love you Clark."
Clark stood up and smiled, "I love you too Chloe. You're..." But Chloe cut him off before he could finish.
"No not as a friend and it's certainly not a brotherly sisterly love either. It's an I love you kind of I love you," Clark didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. And Chloe's mind would not allow her to stop there so she kept on talking, "It's like one of those, I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you kind of love." Before she could talk herself out of doing this, she grabbed his neck, stood on her toes and kissed him. The reaction that she got from him was not what she was inspecting. He didn't stiffen up, as though this was awkward and he didn't push her away. He actually leaned his head down so Chloe could stand on her feet, wrapped one arm around her back, and the other held her head, keeping her where he wanted her. Chloe then broke the kiss, said a quick bye, and ran down the stairs and out of the barn.
Clark just watched her run out of the barn and wanted to think about it, but he knew he better go after her. He wasn't going to let her out of his life this easy. He'll think about it later. So he super sped ran to get to Chloe. He was right behind her before she could even open her car door.
"Chloe?" he said quietly.
Chloe jumped and squeaked, she didn't think Clark would follow her to her car and then she wondered how he got there so fast. She let that thought go because Clark was already talking, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Tell you?" she said with a not so pretty laugh, "What were you going to do Clark, suddenly get over your feelings for Lana and realize that I'm the one you really want to be with? Maybe if this was some T.V. show. Sure. But this is real life Clark."
"I don't have feelings for Lana, Chloe."
"You don't have any feelings for Lana, *now* Clark. But I can remember a few incidents that I'd be talking to you and Lana would walk bye and... you'd... just..." She couldn't talk anymore about this. She knew she would just start bawling her eyes out if she didn't go. She went for the door again and said a quick, "I have to go now."
Clark put his hand on the door making it so that she couldn't open it, "We could have made it work." He paused for a second, "We still can make it work."
"No we can't," she took a couple of quick breaths so she could talk to him without crying, "I know that if we did go out, before, sure we would have been together, but your heart would of still have been with Lana. Clark in this category, second best doesn't cut it." Chloe grabbed the door, open it up and got in.
Clark watched Chloe drive out of their dirt road and out of his life.
