*~*~*

" Clark will be out of here very soon, Mr. and Mrs. Kent." Dr. Bryce said showing the two concerned parents out the door of the room they had been in. While Clark had been love-strucked by Lana, Mr. and Mrs. Kent were discussing about their son's health.

" How soon is that, Dr. Bryce?" Jonathan asked eagerly.

Dr. Bryce smiled, " As long has he doesn't suddenly become unconcious or disappear, I'm sure he'll be out of here by dinner."

" Oh, thank you. Thanks so much, Dr. Bryce. This accident has been so stressful on this family already and - well - if you hadn't been here, it'd probably be a whole lot more complicated." Martha said glancing at Jonathan who siliently agreed.

" I understand, Mrs. Kent. I'm happy to say that health-wise, Clark is perfect. I don't know what your secret is." said Dr. Bryce.

" Well, we really don't either. Guess it's just natural." Jonathan said laughing a little. They soon made their way towards the main desk and Clark's room.

*~*~*

Clark lay in his bed half asleep listening intentively to the sounds around him. He suddenly heard the door and snapped out of his daze. " Who's there?"

" Clark, calm down. It's only the guy who got you in this mess in the first place."

" Oh, Lex," Clark sighed a little.

" So, you doing alright?"

" By alright do you mean, ' Starving and ready to get home and eat?'" Clark could feel Lex's smile.

" Yeah, I see where you're coming from. I'm a little ravenous myself. Think they'd serve a rich billionare a free meal?"

" Some how, I don't think so." Clark said glad to smile again.

" Seriously Clark, I'm really sorry for - everything. I swear I didn't see those rocks. I -"

" Lex, you don't have to appologize. I'll be fine."

" I really hope so." Lex said. He said it in such a way that made Clark feel hopeless and determined and the same time. He'd have to get his sight back. He just had to.

*~*~*

Clark was later released from the hospital and rushed excitedly home to his parents where they had spaghetti and meatballs - a favorite at the Kent farm.

" Wow, mom, this great." Clark stated shoving another whole forkful into his awaiting mouth.

" I'm glad you like it." Martha said happily.

They finished eating and afterwards, Chloe and Pete stopped by to ask about Clark and kept him company. Lana hadn't come around, but Clark hadn't expected her to. She'd already visited him once, why would she want to again?

*~*~*

Clark guessed it was about nine at night. He was sitting on the couch just thinking (which was about the only thing he wanted or felt like he could do). He heard his mother washing the dishes and guessed his father was around somewhere. Although he couldn't see it, he knew he was home.

He stood up and grabbed the walking stick his father had lent him. He slowly made his way out to the porch and sat on the porch swing.

It was a cool, calm evening. He felt the wind swirl around him and breathed in the sweet, mellow air.

" Clark?"

Clark jumped slightly and looked around dumbly remembering he couldn't see. He knew that beautiful voice though. " Lana? Wh - what're you doing here?"

" I was gonna stop by and make sure you're okay. You seemed kinda uncomfortable at the hospital."

" Yeah, I'm great." Clark said even though he knew he really wasn't.

" Really?" Lana said.

Clark tensed up again when he felt the swing shift a little. Lana had sat down next to him. He immediately told himself to relax. " Well, I don't know..."

" Come on, Clark. You can tell me."

Clark paused, " What does tonight look like?"

" What does it look like?" Lana asked confused.

" Yeah, I mean, in my mind, it looks quiet. And the sky is pitch black and the stars and moon are shining so bright. No clouds. Just the clear sky. And the fireflies are out, glittering and twinkling. Making everything - magical. And - and it's one of those nights that makes you wish you were young forever."

It became silent after that. Silent except for a cricket in the background. Then, Clark unexpectly felt Lana's hand lace through his. He felt a shock go through his body. And she whispered to him, " That's exactly what it looks like."

Clark grinned from ear to ear. He knew she was smiling back.

And that's how they stayed - sitting next to each other, listening to the night and enjoying every minute of it.
