Title: Can't stop this thing we started
Summary: Chloe is moving back to Metropolis, but not before she tells Clark something. Then we get some twists. Not a song fic, I don't think at least.
Author name: Chloe
Date: 10/13/02
Author note: This is my first time writing a Chloe and Clark story, but not my last. Please read and review. ENJOY!! :)
Author note #1.5: Sorry about the long delay, but I had a really big test to study for. 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.
Author Note #2.5: I don't really know Chloe enough to know if she would spas out or not if this happened. So she may be out of character here.
Dedicated to Beck... mainly because even if it does seem funny Clark and Pete don't go to Metropolis, they don't get lost, and Chloe doesn't come save them. So for you Beck!!! :)

Afternoon on the same day...
Chloe woke up from one of her wonderful Clark dreams. She remembered the dream so well, how he held her, and kissed her, and *she* saying, 'I love you'. She sat up straight in bed, it finally dawned on her... she told Clark everything. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. She thought things were bad after what happened at the formal and remembering how he agreed that they should only be friends. What was she going to do? There was no way that things could ever be the same now. So she did the first thing that came to mind. She picked up her phone and dialed a number.
Meanwhile...
Clark was sitting at Chloe's desk in The Torch's office. He couldn't get Chloe's words out of his head, "It's an I love you kind of I love you," and then "It's like one of those, I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you kind of love." He remembered how her small delicate hands felt against his chest. How it felt when she kissed him and him kissing her back. It surprised him more then it surprised her. But dear God he did love the kiss, he loved the way her skin felt against his, how her fingers combed through his hair, and how he just loved her. Clark fell backwards and out of his chair when his head said those words.
"Whoa Clark! You okay?" he heard a familiar voice.
Clark ignored the voice, stayed on the floor and thought, 'did he really love her?' No, he loved Lana, right? He didn't get anymore of a chance to think because there was a voice nagging at him.
"Clark, you okay? Can you hear me?!"
Clark stood up, put the chair in a right up position, and said, "Yeah. When did you get her Lana?"
"I've been here for a little. I had to finish typing up Chloe's farewell speech that she gave to me."
"Oh. You know talking about Chloe, I need to talk to you about something."
"Sure Clark, what's up?"
"Well, last night Chloe came to my loft and she told me..."
RING!!!!
It was Lana's cell phone; she left it on during her lunch period if anyone really needed to get a hold of her, "Go on Clark."
"Well, she..."
RING!!!!
"Hang on. Let me just turn it off..." she recognized the number and decided she needed to answer it, "Sorry Clark."
"Hello?" she answered it with a little confusion in her voice.
Hi Lana. It's me
"Chloe!?"
"Is that Chloe?" Clark stood up and asked.
Is that Clark? Chloe asked at the same time.
Lana put a finger to her lips to shush Clark up.
"Yeah. Well, what can I do for you?"
I need to talk to you. ASAP! she said through ragged breath.
"Okay. Calm down. Can we talk now?"
Defiantly! I mean, can you come over?
"Over?"
I'm not moving! she said hyperventilating and pacing around her room.
"Okay. Okay. Calm down. You have to calm down."
"Is she okay? Can I talk to her?"
"Uh... Chloe. Clark wants to talk to you."
No! Not right now. she paused, But don't tell him that! Don't even tell him I'm still here. Please make something up.
Thinking quickly Lana said, "Okay, sure. I'll pick that up at your house right now and send it to you."
Okay, thanks Lana. Just let yourself in without waiting to say good-bye she just hung up.
"Sure, no problem," Lana pretended to be still talking to her, "Here's Cl... Chloe! Chloe are you still there? You're breaking up! I can't hear you! Chloe?" She moved the cell phone away from her ear. "We got disconnected."
"Oh," Clark looked a little upset. "So what did she need?"
"Uh... she left something at her house and she needs it ASAP! So I told her that I'd pick it up and send it to her," Lana grabbed her bag and keys and made her way to the door.
"Good, I'll go with you."
"NO!" Clark looked a little stunned, not of what she said, but the way she said it. Lana coughed and cleared her throat, "I mean, no. It's a very personal item and I think Chloe would be happier if you didn't see what it was."
Clark blushed slightly and said, "Oh okay. I guess I'll just go for a walk. I need to clear my head."
"Okay. I'll see you later then," and with that Lana was gone leaving Clark all alone.
A little while later...
Lana pulled up to Chloe's house. She knew Chloe told her to walk right in, but she couldn't help but to knock, just to let Chloe knew someone was there. She grabbed the doorknob and walked into the house. There were boxes all over the place, some of them where opened and things were thrown about. "Hello?" Lana called out.
"In the kitchen," called out a soft sob. Lana went into the kitchen and saw Chloe sitting on one of the boxes, considering there was nowhere else to sit.
"Come, take a box," Chloe said, drinking which Lana knew had to be coffee.
Lana sat on a box and said, "So, tell me, what's going on?" She said in a soft friendly voice, "Why don't you want Clark to know your still here? And on that note, why are you still here? Not that I am complaining because I am so happy that you are still here," Lana said with truly a happy voice.
"Okay, the quick story. I went to Clark's house last night and told him everything."
"Define everything."
"Everything. I told him I loved him, wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, and then I kissed him."
"Okay. Why don't we start from the beginning and don't leave anything out," she said with a small smile on her face. Chloe also smiled very faintly and told her the WHOLE story.
By the time Chloe finished her story there were tears in her eyes and said, "I am so sorry Lana."
"Sorry about what?"
"I didn't mean to throw your name out like that into the fight."
"It's okay."
"We still friends," Chloe never thought she would be saying that to Lana, but then again she never thought that she would be saying what she said to Clark.
"Forever Chloe," and they hugged.
"What am I going to do?" Chloe asked through tears.
"Don't do anything. Just be his friend. Don't take it back, don't make excuses as to why you said it. Let him bring it up."
"But I don't think I can take another rejection from him."
"Who says he's going to reject you?"
"Well, what's to say that even if we do go out and we break up and... Lana no matter what happens our friendship will never be the same."
Lana didn't know what to say. She was a good listener, not good at giving advice, "Chloe, I don't know what I can say that will make you feel better."
Chloe wiped her eyes, and said, "It's okay. You made me feel a lot better just by listening."
They hugged one last time and Lana said, "Why don't we go upstairs and I can help you unpack."
"Sounds good," Chloe said and grabbed a box that said, 'Chloe's room' on it.
Lana picked up a box too and said, "Then we can talk about what we will do tomorrow and what happened as to why your still here," Chloe smiled and said, 'okay.'
