A/N: Clark and Lana had a night to think about the recent events that have
happened in their lives. Lana goes to have a chat with Clark.
~Chapter 6~
Lana got up early the next morning. She hadn't slept well the night before. She dressed quickly with the intention of going over to see Clark. She figured that he wouldn't have slept well either and she wanted to talk to him. She headed out of her house and crossed the field to Clark's house. His Mother answered the door when she knocked.
"Lana," she stepped outside and hugged Lana, "I'm so glad that you are all right."
"Thank you Mrs. Kent. I'm glad that Clark and I are both all right as well. Is Clark here?"
"He's out in the loft. Lana," Clark's Mother hesitated before continuing, "I know that this is hard, but I hope that you guys can work through this."
Lana smiled and reached out to squeeze Mrs. Kent's hand before turning and heading toward the barn. She tried to keep her heart from racing as she walked over. She knew that he was still Clark. The same guy he was two days before. He was now just Clark with some extraordinary abilities. She saw Mr. Kent working on the tractor out by the field. He smiled at her as she walked past and she returned it. This wasn't easy for any of them.
Lana sighed as she stepped into the barn. She climbed the steps and saw Clark sitting in a corner rolling the bullet around in his hand. "Hi," she said. Clark stood up and turned to face Lana.
"Lana," he said a bit shocked, "I'm surprised to see you here."
"Yeah, I thought you might be. I think that we need to talk. Clark I just -"
"Wait Lana, please let me go first." Clark interrupted. "I'm sorry about the secrecy. I'm sorry that I lied to you, but you have to understand, I didn't want you to think of me any differently, look at me differently and as much as you might have told yourself you wouldn't have, you would. I didn't want you to think I was a freak. Never, not you ever." Clark started pacing as he continued, "I thought that if I avoided your questions I'd be safe. The lies I was telling you would keep me safe. I never expected them to push you away from me, to make them the reason you despised me."
"Clark, I don't despise you," Lana cut back in. "I had a lot of time to think last night seeing as how I couldn't sleep at all." Lana walked over to Clark and took his hands. "I wanted so much to know what you were hiding that when I finally found out, I didn't think of what it meant for you. I selfishly thought of myself and how betrayed I felt. I wanted so much to be able to talk to Nell about what had happened, but I couldn't." Lana started crying again, "I couldn't talk to anyone about the most important thing that had happened. And then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this is what you go through everyday and you have no one else to share it with either."
Clark smiled at Lana. "Lana, I understand."
"No Clark, you don't understand. I kept telling you that you weren't being the good friend, when, in actuality, I was the one being a bad friend." Lana let go of Clark's hand and turned away. "I acted like a hypocrite. I'm so sorry Clark. I'm sorry." Lana turned and headed down the stairs.
Clark didn't waste time, he went down with her and when she got to the bottom he grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. "Lana, don't say that, of course you are a good friend. You are here aren't you? Last night must have been such a shock to you and it was a lot to take in, but you helped me when the police got there without fail and you didn't say anything to anyone else. That proves to me that you are a great friend." Clark cupped her face and started wiping her tears away. "I only wish I had told you sooner and saved you this stress."
Lana smiled at Clark through the tears, "This is like déjà vu."
Clark smiled back, "Yea and this time my Mother isn't going to interrupt." Clark looked into Lana's eyes and leaned in. Lana closed her eyes and waited for Clark to finally kiss her. She felt her heart flutter as his lips finally met hers.
Their kiss was a slow soft matting of lips. Lana's arms slide up Clark's chest and wrapped around his neck. Clark was rubbing his thumbs across her cheeks. Time seemed to stand still and it was as if no other people existed in the world except for the two people kissing in the barn. When they finally pulled away all Clark could say was "Wow."
"Wow is right," Lana said her breath coming a little faster.
"This is the truth Lana," Clark said resting his forehead against hers. "The way I feel about you, that's the truth Lana, and it's the only thing that matters."
"You're right Clark. Look, I don't know what's going to happen next, but I want you to know that I'll be here for you. I'll help you through whatever comes along; the same way you've always helped me."
"Thanks Lana. It's actually a relief to be able to talk to someone other than my parents about this. I mean, they are always there, but they don't always understand."
"Well Clark, let's go for a walk and you can tell me the everything, I have a lot more questions I want answers to."
Clark took Lana's hand and started walking toward the door. Smiling he said, "Somehow that doesn't surprise me, Lana. That doesn't surprise me at all."

A/N: The end! I hope that everyone liked it. This was my first time publishing a fanfic so I hope it was good. Anyway, feel free to review and let me know what you thought. I have some more ideas on stories so there are more to come!
