A/N : What will Lex's response be to hearing Chloe's secret? Keep reading and you'll find out...
(Disclaimer : see chapter 1)
"You mean, I was right? You and him?" Lex spoke surprisingly calmly and without moving at all.
"Lex, I'm so sorry..." it was inadequate but it was all I could say. He cut me off mid-sentence.
"You lied to me" I could hear the anger rising in his voice, along with the disbelief and the pain, "After everything we said, everything that's happened, I thought you and Clark were the two people in the world who I could really trust" he stood up and walked away from me, shaking his head, "How?" he asked, turning suddenly to look back at me, "How could you do this to me?"
I was sure I saw tears forming in his eyes and I knew I had hurt him so badly. He was angry, very angry and I had expected that, but the pain I saw in his eyes was like nothing I could have imagined.
"I didn't plan it" I told him, through my own tears, "I was upset and he was upset..." I rambled my excuse, "...it just happened"
He laughed humourlessly as the tears I thought I'd seen threatened to fall.
"Next you'll be telling me that it meant nothing to you"
"Yes, I mean, no, I mean..." I honestly didn't know what I meant, so I said the only fact I knew for sure, "Lex, it's you I'm in love with"
He turned away again, as if it pained him to look at me or to hear me. He kept his back to me as he continued to speak.
"I just don't understand, I mean, I knew you two were close, and we had some problems in the beginning..." he got louder as he got more angry about it, "I mean, for God sake you were his girlfriend first, if you couldn't make a commitment to him, why would keep a commitment to me?!"
That hurt a lot. I'd been just a kid when all that happened. When I'd been stuck between my crush on Clark and my developing feelings for Lex. He knew that saying that would hurt me, I guess that was what he wanted to do and I took it, I didn't answer back, because I felt that I deserved it.
"Y'know, when you finally chose me" he turned to look at me again, and I saw a tear slide down his cheek, "when we made the commitment and got married, I thought you were finally cover Clark Kent"
"I am over him" I blurted out, before another sob stopped me saying anymore. I glanced at Lex, just as he wiped away the tear I had seen fall, "I was going to tell you..." I tried to explain but he interrupted me again.
"But you didn't. You didn't tell me" his expression changed again, from the anger and sheer pain I had just witnessed to a kind of realisation and a different kind of anger. "If this hadn't have happened, you never would have told me" he said flatly, "You would have kept this from me and never told me. Go on deny it!" his volume rose on the last four words and I screamed my reply.
"I can't! I can't tell you what I might have done, or what could have happened" he didn't speak, he didn't move, he just watched me and I took my chance. I knew he might actually be listening to me now, not just hearing me but really listening.
"Lex," I said in a more reasonable tone, "all I can tell you is what I want to happen now. I love you, and I know what I did was wrong, and believe me, there is not a day goes by when I don't feel guilty about it, but I can't change the past anymore than I can predict the future" the anger began to dispel from his features, along with all the pain in his eyes. For just a moment I thought I had a chance of putting things right, but I was wrong, "I just hope that you can forgive me and except that this baby is yours and..."
"You don't know if the baby is mine?" he snapped, and immediately the fury and the anguish returned to his face.
"Well, it was two months ago and I think that's how far I am" I said quietly, "but there's every chance it's yours..." he didn't let me say anymore. He spoke loudly and strongly.
"Could you be carrying Clark Kent's child?" he wanted to know, but I was silent. I just couldn't tell him the truth.
"Answer me!" he yelled, but still the words would not come to me. I nodded, sadly, actually afraid of what he might say or worse what he might do.
I glanced up and he was coming towards me, angrily. I put my arms over my head and cried, "no!"
When nothing happened, I dared to look up. He was standing over me, with tears visibly pouring down his face now.
"You really believe I would ever consider hitting you?" I didn't know what to say to him. I had thought for a second, maybe, but surely I should have known better. I wasn't given the chance to think about what had happened, before he was gone from the room.
I ran to the door he had recently passed through and called his name down the passage way. I got no reply so I ran after him. He didn't say a word, he didn't turn to look at me, he just kept walking until finally we were outside the front doors. He climbed into his Mercedes and the tyres squealed as he sped away.
I sobbed and cried as I reached into my pocket and pulled out some car keys of my own. I was determined not to let him go so easily. I climbed into my Ferrari, wiped the salty water from my face and raced after him. I refused to lose the one great love of my life, without a fight.
