Note- This is an alternate ending to "Exodus" The Clana one lol! This is
how it should have ended! Just kidding! The real ending was really good and
I look forward to next season. I just had to think of what could have been.
Enjoy
This was not happening. He was leaving and she had no idea why.
"You can't go" she pleaded "Your family needs you, I need you" Then she said the words she had been wanting to say forever "I love you"
"I love you too," He said to her "More than you'll ever know, that's why I have to leave"
Lana couldn't take it anymore. Emotions bottled up inside of her suddenly exploded in a burst of rage and confusion
"Why are you running away from all of this? You say the Clark Kent I know is a lie, but he isn't! He's the most truthful person ever that I have ever met and he wouldn't run away from his problems like this!"
"Lana, please, there are things about me you don't know. I have to leave"
"Clark, talk to me, I'm your girlfriend and you are in serious pain, just tell me! Stop being so secretive! Talk to me, I can't take this anymore!"
"You want to know what's wrong! Do you!" He practically screamed at her
"Yes!" she yelled back
"Everything was so great" He turned away from her "The farm was going great, I was going to be a big brother, I had the girl of my dreams. Then he told me I had to leave"
"Clark, who is 'he'?" Lana asked
"It doesn't matter now. Chloe's not talking to me anymore, the baby is gone, and my own father won't talk to me. Lana, you should have seen the look on his face" his voice became quiet, deepened with pain "I don't know if he'll ever speak to me again"
"Why? It wasn't your fault!"
"I wish I could tell you. I want to tell you so badly.. I just.. can't"
"Clark..."
"Everything is so screwed up right now," he said again in almost a whisper
"Clark.." Lana walked up to him, to face him. "Clark It'll..."
She stopped suddenly "Oh my God" she whispered "You're crying"
"No I'm not" he said, wiping a tear
The sight of Clark Kent crying shocked her. The last time he had cried was in first grade over God-knows-what. He was in serious pain. She was in pain just seeing him like this.
"Yes you are" She wiped a tear away with her palm "Oh my God"
"I'm sorry," he said quietly
"No, no, please, don't be! A lot of stuff is going on for you. It's stressful, I know. Just cry, you don't have to be manly in front of me" She gave him a hopeful half smile which he returned
"I have to leave Lana," He said sniffing "I'll only hurt you"
"No, you won't" She said, stopping him even though he could easily push her out of the way and break about 13 of her bones doing it. He decided to stay, listen to what she had to say.
She put both hands, cupped on his face that now, in spite of himself, had more tears rolling down it; she wiped them each away gently.
"Do you remember?" she asked him "That time in second grade? We were playing outside and I tripped and fell on my finger and it hurt so bad and I started to cry because I thought I broke it?"
Clark nodded, unaware of where this story was going.
"Remember how you helped me up and helped me to the nurse? The whole time how you told me everything was going to be O.K.? You stayed with me in the office with the ice pack the whole time even when the nurse told you to go back to class and you just said" she made her voice sound high pitched like a child when she said it "No, I'm going to stay here until Lana stops hurting"
In spite of the seriousness of the situation, they both laughed a little at the childhood memory.
"So what is your point?" Clark asked
"My point is that you stayed with me until my finger stopped hurting. Telling me funny jokes, talking to me about TV shows. You were there for me when I needed you. You were there to make it all better. You've always been. Now I have a chance to repay you"
He opened his mouth to speak but she put her finger on his lips to hush him up.
"You won't hurt me. I want to help, just let me help. Don't leave, please don't go away"
She wiped away another one of his tears and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Everybody is so mad, everything is so messed up" he said in almost a sob
"It'll get better" she said soothingly "I promise it will. We'll work it out. Together, like a couple should. Chloe is just PMS-ing" he smiled at that "Even with the baby... It's not your fault about that"
"I want to tell you this so badly. I trust you but I'm scared if Chloe finds out"
"Chloe finds out what?" She asked
"I want to tell you"
"Then, tell me" She said "Trust me, you'll feel better with the secret off your back"
"You are so amazing," He said, his eyes misting up again "I don't deserve you"
"Yes you do!" she smiled at him "I'm not amazing"
"Yes you are, and that's why I'm going to tell you. I trust you"
"Clark, you're overwhelmed. It's OK" she changed the subject
"I'm not leaving," He said, more tears coming down his cheeks
"Thank God!" She broke into a smile
"Thank you so much Lana, I was going to do something really stupid I would have regret later. You saved me"
"Wow, I saved you" She said, smiling again "I don't think that's exactly what happened"
"Yes, You did. You are amazing. Don't ever leave me"
She wrapped her arms around him and he embraced her. Almost lifting her up from the ground.
"It'll be better" she whispered, massaging his back with her hands "We'll get through this together"
He began to sob outloud, which she had never before heard or seen him like this. She comforted him the best she could. It was always him that was comforting her and she barely got a chance to do it to him. She was almost at a loss for words.
"It'll be OK" she whispered "We'll work it out"
He hugged her tightly.
"As much as I love you opening up to me" she joked "I can't breathe"
He laughed "I'm sorry"
"It's OK"
She faced him and kissed him on the lips. "You're strong," she said
He wiped his eyes "Apparently not too strong" he smiled
"Hey, like I said you have every right to cry. I'm suprised you haven't gone crazy with all this stuff happening"
"I guess it's you who keeps me sane"
They both smiled and kissed. Their best one yet. Clark was staying and soon he would reveal to Lana the biggest secret of his life. Just because he loved her and trusted her more than anyone in the world. How would she react? Well he's find out soon. They broke apart from the kiss and Lana dried her cheeks some of Clark's tears had gotten on her.
"OOPS sorry" he apologized
Lana shrugged "It's tears, not acid."
They both smiled.
"You are amazing," He said to her
"You are"
He wiped his eyes one last time and put his arm around her and she rested her head against his chest.
"How do you know everything is going to be all right?" He asked her
"I don't know, I just feel it"
He smiled "Lana Lang is always right"
She laughed "That's a nice way of putting it"
They both smiled at each other. They could both feel it was going to be OK. And to think, Clark was going to be an idiot, put on red krytonite and go to God-knows-where.
"Okay" Clark said to Lana "I'm only going to tell you this because I love you and trust you"
"The secret?" she guessed
"Yeah"
She nodded and followed him. What was the secret he kept talking about? She would find out soon enough.
This was not happening. He was leaving and she had no idea why.
"You can't go" she pleaded "Your family needs you, I need you" Then she said the words she had been wanting to say forever "I love you"
"I love you too," He said to her "More than you'll ever know, that's why I have to leave"
Lana couldn't take it anymore. Emotions bottled up inside of her suddenly exploded in a burst of rage and confusion

"Clark, talk to me, I'm your girlfriend and you are in serious pain, just tell me! Stop being so secretive! Talk to me, I can't take this anymore!"
"You want to know what's wrong! Do you!" He practically screamed at her
"Yes!" she yelled back
"Everything was so great" He turned away from her "The farm was going great, I was going to be a big brother, I had the girl of my dreams. Then he told me I had to leave"
"Clark, who is 'he'?" Lana asked
