Chloe and Lex walked in silence for a bit. They both had their hands shoved in their pockets. Neither one knew what to say. It had been so long since they had talked that everything thing Chloe thought to say just sounded stupid.
"I missed you..." Lex said after a bit. "I missed you a lot..."
Chloe smiled as she looked up at him. "I missed you, too." He smiled at her.
"So umm... how's... everything?" Lex asked.
"Everything's fine...." Chloe said. "How's Clark?" She kicked herself on the inside for bringing up the farm boy.
"I really don't know." Lex said. "We stopped talking a few weeks after you left for New York."
"Why is that?"
"Well, we had a fight..."
"About...?"
"About you, actually."
"Oh...." Chloe looked at her feet. "What about me?"
"Clark seemed to think the you and me thing was ever a good idea. He said you and him fought about the same thing. I told him that just because it didn't work doesn't mean that it was a bad idea... in fact... I really liked when we were dating." Lex looked over at his blond friend. She was looking at him as though she wasn't sure he was really Lex Luthor.
"I did, too." Chloe said. "I mean, I liked it when we were dating." She bit her lip for a moment. "Do you remember why we did? Break up I mean?"
Lex nodded. Oh, he remembered all right...
**Flashback**
"I can not believe you even talked to her, let alone went to diner with her!" Chloe screamed at Lex, they were both standing in Lex's office. Chloe had just discovered that Lex had been to diner with ex-fling Victoria Hardwick...
"Nothing happened, Chloe!" Lex yelled back. "And we were not having diner alone! It was a business meeting! You should know that I would never go back to a bitch like that!"
"It doesn't mater what I think! It matters what YOU do! She could have gotten you all drunk and then have done goodness knows what with you!"
"I can't believe you think that would happen! I'm smarter then that, Sullivan!"
"HOW DARE YOU USE MY LAST NAME, LUTHOR!" Chloe screamed at the top of her lungs. "I thought we had a relationship based on trust! How can trust you when you don't tell me when you see your ex?"
"I didn't think it would matter!" Lex said. "I thought that this one time, you might have trusted me to handle one night of diner!"
Chloe sighed and looked up at her love with sad eyes. "Maybe this whole thing was a big mistake." She took off the silver locket from around her neck and with teary eyes, placed it in Lex's hand. "I'm sorry Lex." She kissed him quickly and then started to leave. But Lex wouldn't let her leave like that!
He ran over to the door before she could. He grabbed her waist and kissed her deeply. She pulled away and slapped him across the face. Lex looked at her with pain in his eyes. Chloe looked sad, too. "I'm sorry, Lex. This is just how it has to be." Chloe walked past him and walked out the door.
Lex stood there as if he was fighting back tears. He ran a hand over his head and let the tears flow freely. Outside in her car, Chloe was crying just as hard as Lex. She missed him already!
**End Flashback**
"Do you ever regret it?" Chloe asked, sadly.
"Everyday..." Lex whispered. "It didn't make since for something so good to end over something so small... do you? Regret it, I mean?"
Chloe looked up and him and nodded. "Yes, I do... but the past is in the past. We made up our minds and I guess there is no turning back. What happened, happened. It's stupid to go on wishing things had turned out another way."
Lex looked down at Chloe. They were standing closer then before. He saw her basked in the city lights and the moon over head. "Do you think we could still change it?" He asked.
This made Chloe think. She looked at the man she loved. She knew she still loved him... but she might get hurt again. So, she told herself not to give in and she took a deep breath. "No, I don't." She said. Lex looked down at his feet and nodded. "This isn't something you can just fix! Trust and love have to be built up slowly. That trust was broken years ago... it may never be built up again."
Lex looked back at her and took a chance. "The trust was broken, yes... but was the love?" Chloe's eyes widened. They just stood there and looked at each other for a moment.
"I can't start dating you again, Alexander." She said, sternly. "I'm sorry, I just can't!" She turned from him and flagged down a cab. As Chloe got in the back of the cab, she looked over at Lex. "I'll see you tomorrow... Mr. Luthor."
Lex stood there and watched his loves cab drive away. Why wouldn't she try? Could she really have stopped loving him all together? Lex sighed and closed his eyes. He wouldn't cry! He would find a way to win her back. He got a cab and drove home with one person on his mind the whole time.

Chloe closed and locked the door to her apartment. She ran into the living room and fell onto the sofa! She grabbed a pillow and hugged it tight as tears ran down her face. Why did he have to ask her those things? Of course she still loved him! She would ALWAYS love him! But... but even though her heart was screaming at her to go after him and fall back into his open arms. But her mind was telling her she would only be hurt again.
There was a soft knock on the door. Chloe wiped away her tears and opened the door and what she saw there almost made her faint.
"Hey, Chloe."
"Clark Kent?"

Ok, more to come. I would LOVE reviews!
