Chapter 6: Secrets
Clark stood there, frozen. He had just used his powers in front of Lana. "Dad's going to kill me!" He thought as Lana tried to get an answer from him.
"Clark! What happened?"
"I got to get you back up again before I say anything."
"Okay Clark." She simply smiled at Clark not knowing what to do. Lana thought it was very sweet of him to think of her safety before anything else.
After 10 minutes of hiking and carrying Lana, Clark finally reached the top and put Lana down.
"Now, tell me what happened, Clark." This time she was getting a little angry at him because she thought he was just avoiding the question.
"I. I can't Lana." He said slowly knowing that Lana is not going to be his friend anymore.
"Great. I just caught you red handed and now that I'm asking you, you don't want to tell me. I really appreciate that Clark." She said in a sarcastic tone.
"Look, let me give you a ride home then I'll tell you everything."
"No Clark! Tell me now. I know you're avoiding the question!" She said in the freezing coldness of the night.
"Lana, you're shivering. I got to get you somewhere warm. I'll tell you there. I promise." He said. He lied to Lana again.
All throughout their walk back to Chloe's house, Lana was silent. It was as if she and her thoughts on what had just happened were the only occupants of this world. Clark was worried. He feared the worst and that Lana would hate her. He quickly thought of something to say or do to avoid telling Lana. He dragged his feet and breathed heavily as his heart started pumping faster and faster knowing that if he did this, He might as well kiss Lana's friendship with him goodbye.
When they finally reached the steps of the front porch, Lana told Clark to sit down. He did as she told him, and prepared himself.
"Clark, I want to know what happened." She fixed her gaze in Clark's eyes and she saw the fear and all the pain he felt.
"Lana, before I do or say anything, I just want you to know that our friendship means so much to me, and I want to thank you for everything that you've done for me." He frowned. This was it. And there was no turning back.
"Clark, I told you, I love you. I don't care with whatever it is you're hiding from me, but I just want to know the truth Clark. Tell me." She leaned towards Clark and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Lana, I-I-I lo-love" He blurted out before Lana interrupted him.
"You love me Clark. I know you do. I was just waiting for you to tell me." She looked at Clark's mesmerizing eyes one more time and this time, he closed the gap between them and locked his lips with hers. It lasted only for a while, but to them, it had ended the years of waiting for each other. They were both speechless as they parted their lips apart. Lana then giggled at Clark and rested her head on his shoulder. Clark on the other hand couldn't believe it. He finally did what he was afraid to do for such a long time and it ended up pretty well.
"Well, that's a good start Clark. Now, stop avoiding the question." She remembered why they were there in the first place and held his hand. She loved him so much, but if he lies to her again, she wouldn't know what she would do.
"Can we go inside? I think it'd be better if I told you there." Here goes nothing. he thought as Lana stood up and led Clark to the front door, holding his hand to make sure he doesn't go anywhere.
He opened the door for her and noticed that she was holding his hand tightly. "Ladies first!" He said as gentlemanly as possible. She kissed his cheek as he did his gentlemanly act, but she never knew that what he was going to do was going to hurt her so much, it was as if he put a knife right in her heart.
As soon as Lana was inside, Clark quickly headed for the door as fast as any human could go. He banged the door shut which bought him probably half a second before Lana would be able to see him. He quickly used his super speed and disappeared. Lana was shocked. She could've sworn that Clark was just there and now he was gone. She then realized that Clark had just left her. She quickly ran to her room, fighting back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. Chloe heard the door banging and headed for Lana's room.
"Everything okay Lana?" She asked, obviously not aware that Clark was the reason why Lana was flooding her room with tears. She just stayed there, not moving as she quietly shed her tears, not even looking at Chloe, who was starting to get concerned.
"It's Clark isn't it?"
Lana didn't need to answer that. Chloe could tell by the way she was crying that it was definitely Clark who did this to her. Her face quickly turned from a concerned look to one who could tear the whole house apart with her anger.
"Dammit Clark! You really did it this time! I'm gonna get you for this!" She quietly said and stormed out of the door.
Lana couldn't sleep that night. Clark just took her heart and shattered it into pieces. She couldn't help but hate Clark for what he did. She quietly sobbed all throughout the night and tried to find the pieces of her shattered heart. She then remembered about her cousin and that she would be leaving two weeks from now. She kept it a secret from everyone because she still was uncertain about it. "Maybe that's why Clark wasn't truthful to me." She thought as she tried to catch some sleep. She herself hid a secret that she knew would hurt Clark.
Clark couldn't believe it. He just ended his relationship with Lana, just when things started to go so good. He focused his telescope on the starry night, and tried to take his mind off Lana. He wanted her so badly, but if he told her his secret, she wouldn't. He sighed and lied down on the couch in his loft. His eyes slowly drifted to the world of dreams as he thought about Lana. ________________________________________________________________________
3 days passed, and Chloe and her father was starting o get worried about Lana. She had barely eaten and she probably wasted 9 rolls of tissue. She looked a lot thinner and her eyes were bloodshot. Chloe couldn't take it anymore. She put aside her feeling for Clark as she thought of something she could do to ease Lana's pain. She then called Pete and told him about Clark and Lana's situation. She told him that a bastard made Lana cry again and that same bastard apparently lives in a farm. Pete said that he'll try to talk to him about it and hung up.
Clark on the other hand had done a week's worth of chores in just 3 days. He tried to keep himself busy to stop thinking about Lana. He wanted to go see her right now but he knew that Chloe wouldn't let him. Just then, a familiar face came by.
"Hey Pete! What's up?" He asked as he loaded his dad's pickup truck with bails of hay.
"Nothing. I just wanted to hangout. Wanna play some ball?" He asked as he went to pick up the basketball that was beside Clark's court. Clark nodded and playfully ran after Pete.
"So, how are things with Lana?" He asked, as Clark nailed a basket from 15 feet. "Not so good. I broke her heart again." Pete stopped dribbling and sat beside Clark, who was sitting on the back of the pickup truck. He then sat beside his best friend and talked about it.
Lana decided it was finally a good time for her to go and talk with Clark and straighten things out with between them. She walked quietly towards the Kent farm preparing to tell Clark the secret she'd been keeping from him, and hopefully, he would do the same too. As she crossed the sign that said that the land she was now walking on belonged to the Kent's, she saw Pete talking to Clark, and they both looked happy. Lana was taken aback. "How could he be so happy right now?" She thought as tears threatened to flow out of her eyes. Clark suddenly saw Lana. He looked at her hurt eyes and saw what he did. He felt the world crash down on him as Lana ran away from him, crying her heart out again. It was unfair. Pete was just telling him to try and smile and look happy. When Lana saw him, she ran.
"Well, I guess I deserved that, I was unfair to her too." He said to Pete who was trying to give him advice.
"Look, what does your heart say Clark?" Pete asked, with a serious look on his face.
"I don't even know if I have a heart Pete." Clark joked, trying to lighten up the mood. He knew his "heart" told him to go see Lana and tell her everything, but it was too complicated. He had to tell his father first who would quickly disapprove his decision. He then bid farewell to Pete and approached his father.
"Dad, we need to talk." He said as helped his father lift the tractor he was fixing.
"Sure son. What's the matter?" He asked, stopping with whatever he was doing to listen to his son.
"It's about my secret."
Clark stood there, frozen. He had just used his powers in front of Lana. "Dad's going to kill me!" He thought as Lana tried to get an answer from him.
"Clark! What happened?"
"I got to get you back up again before I say anything."
