"How Lana found out part 2

Clark had his arm around Lana as he took her home, she was still crying a little.

"Do you think I did the right thing? You know the video?"

"I really don't know, Lana"

"I feel so bad about it! I mean he's dead! he's really dead!"

She started crying again. He pulled her close

"I'm so sorry! I'm a mess! I can't believe I let you see me like this!"

"No, Lana, you look beautiful"

she laughed "You lair! I look like the living dead!"

"Just trying to make you feel better"

They reached this house

"I'll call you later"

He hugged her one last time

"Make sure you do. well bye...."

"Bye Clark"

Chloe watched from her window. C'mon Chloe, she scolded herself, This is no time to be envious of Lana! her boyfriend just died!

Lana walked in the door Chloe was shocked at her appearance. Her beautiful eyes were red and wet, her pore free nose was red as Rudolph, her flawless skin was blotchy. Chloe wanted to cry just looking at her.

"Hey" she said as she came in "We still on for the ice cream

"You still feeling up to it?"

"Anything to get my mind off. We can talk, try to have fun"

"OK let me get the ice cream"

"Let me just go wash my face"

Lana run up stairs while Chloe went to the kitchen and got the ice cream. Five minutes later Lana came down stairs

"I didn't know if you wanted whipcream on yours"

"Give me all the toppings you got"

Chloe laughed and put some Snicker and M&M pieces on her ice cream. She gave it to

Lana and they both sat down

"Lets talk" Lana suggested

"About what?" Chloe asked

"About anything.. exept.. you know"

"Right.. so what were you doing with Clark?"

"Oh, I ran into him on my walk"

"Wow, I'm suprised he wasent in that cave!"

Lana paused "You still have feelings for him?"

Chloe licked her ice cream "I don't know.. I really don't"

"Yeah. I dunno either. I really use to feel like Whitney was 'the one' you know?"

"No I don't" Chloe said harshly

"Chloe whats wrong?"

Chloe got up

"It's obvious that you and Clark still like each other!"

"Chloe what are you talking about?"

"Why don't you just date him Lana!"

"Chloe why are you doing this?"

"You think you can just hop from one guy to another, don't you!? Well what about me! I have no one! Me and Clark can never be together! He loves you!"

"Chloe, please, I didn't want him to! Chloe don't do this!!"

"Go tell it to Clark!"

She stormed out and stopped midway, turned to Lana. both girls with tears in there eyes

"I am a horrible person!" Chloe cried

"No, Chloe you're not!"

"Look at me! Your ex boyfriend has just died and I'm jumping on you because Clark doesn't like me! I'm a horrible person! I don't know whats wrong with me!"

"Chloe..."

"I think it's Whitney's death! Really I do. I mean I didn't love the guy but he was a kind of friend. I just didn't know I cared that much about him!"

Lana started to cry again

"See!" Chloe sobbed "I made you cry again!"

Chloe walked over to Lana the two girls hugged each other.

"Oh God Lana if I ever freak out like that again please shoot me!"

"Chloe, lets just leave this Clark stuff alone O.K.? I don't want this in the way of our friendship!"

"Yeah"

"This is going to be a long mourning road for me you know?"

"I'll help you out."

"Lets have more chocolate topping on the ice cream for now!"

Lana's face and Chloe's face both brightened up. They walked to the kitchen

"Are you going to school tomorrow?"

"I don't think I can" Lana sighed "I can't stand anybody asking me if I'm OK. maybe just for a few days"

"I'll get your homework for you"

"Thank you so much.. no more wallowing for now there will be plenty of time later.. Ice cream time"

Chloe giggled and poured some syrup on her ice cream. The two girls sat down and had a long talk. Nothing about Clark or Whitney was brought up.
