"I'm With You"--- by StormKait
Disclaimer: I don't own SMALLVILLE, although I'd gladly own Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling *wink wink*. and I don't own the rights to the Avril Lavigne song "I'm With You" either. Which sucks cuz it's an awesome song that's on the radio like 24-7 (serious royalty money on that baby!)
Summary: When Chloe is about to put an end to everything, an unexpected knight in shining armor comes to rescue her. Also, some minor spoilers for those of you who haven't yet seen "Visage." (PG-13)
Author's Note: This is my first attempt at fanfiction, so be nice!!!
Chapter 1: Damn Cold Night
It was pouring. It usually doesn't rain in Smallville, but tonight the weather seemed to match Chloe's mood. She drove to the Smallville Dam, crying and going through a box of Kleenex as she went.
She had had enough. After Whitney died, Lana mourned for about a month and then decided to tell Clark how she really felt. Chloe was in the room when it happened. Lana had come into the Torch after school on Friday and told Clark how she couldn't take it anymore; she needed him and she didn't know what she'd do without him. Chloe wanted to gag at the time.
But now, she just wanted to die.
She reached the dam, and climbed up onto the ledge, balancing herself. She looked down, and felt nauseous. But it will all be over soon, she thought. I just can't do this anymore. I can't put up with Clark and Lana going all googley-eyed when they're around each other. I just must not be worth it. How come every guy that likes me is a Freak of the Week psychopath? Am I really that unwanted? A million thoughts raced through her head, and just as she was about to jump, she heard someone call her name.
"Chloe!"
She turned around, hoping to see Clark running towards her. But it wasn't Clark.
"Don't jump, Chloe!"
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same question," said the man.
"Listen, I don't know why you'd even care, but Clark and Lana are together and I just can't take it anymore, okay? This seemed like the only good option, cuz I don't know anyone who thinks I'm worth it, or wants me around. Now if you'd excuse me, I'm going to jump now." Chloe bent her knees, but the man lifted her off the ledge and put her back down on the ground.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Chloe screeched.
"Rescuing you," he responded matter-of-factly.
"Bullshit. Why would anyone want to rescue me?"
"Because." and his voice trailed off. For the first time in his life, he was at a loss for words.
