Chapter 10
All Right, Okay
I only wish it was.
the hard thing was that although i'd found my place i had to say good-bye to Lois. It was forced love at least on my part.
when i told her she went crazy and hyper-active on me and started throwing things at me, like vases and other things.
'You're leaving me for you whore?!!?' she yelled.
i didn't know what to say to her. i turned around and just walked away from her. I never looked back.
a few years went by in peace and not a word was spoken about the past. we had always been together. it had always been like this.
but then things got nasty.
it was the night of Hayley's 14th birthday party. She had had a few friends over for a sleepover and though we didn't want them to do it, watched 'Silence of the Lambs'. they were scared out of their wits.
i shouldn't have left them alone.
not even for that split second.
'daddy,' Hayley said, 'we're out of pretzels.'
superman to the rescue.
i shake my head at the thought.
it that one milisecond that it took me to get from the family room to the kitchen, there was utter turmoil in the one brief pause.
i heard a gun shot, the girls were screaming, Lex was screaming 'NO! NOT Hayley!.'
I ran back in the room as fast as I good.
Lex was on the floor in a puddle of his own blood, shot in the inside of his leg.
most of the girls were hidden behind the couch, others the chair.
I didn't see Hayley.
Hayley was gone.
I went over to Lex and asked what happened.
'It was her Clark.' he whispered
'who?' i asked.
'Lane.'
he passed out.
she was back.
she had my baby.
