*I know this chapter was supposed to be a prequel, but I wanted it to be a
continuation*

Clark stood there, not knowing what to say. His loss of words finally ended.
"I-I don' t know what you're talking about Lex." Clark said trying to play it cool.
"Clark I was here the other night, when you and Lana were talking. I heard what she-" Lex said but was interrupted by Clark.
"What! You were spying on me and Lana?" Clark was getting angry, he couldn't believe his best friend would actually spy on him.
"I wasn't spying on you Clark. I came by just to talk and I heard voices, I didn't want to interrupt you. And that's when I heard Lana say 'You can trust me with you're secret.'"
"Look, Lex-"
"Clark, I'm you're friend too, I care about you, you're like the brother I never had. I want you to know that you can trust me, whatever you're secret is."
"I know I can trust you Lex, but, it's just that, this type of secret is something you don't want very many people to know about..." Clark didn't finish his sentence, he stood there contemplating whether or not he should tell Lex.
"Just give me time Lex, I need to think about this. Okay?" Clark asked sincerely, and Lex nodded his head in agreement. And with that, he left. Clark was alone in his room now, staring where Lex had just left.
"What am I going to do now?" He thought to himself.
He headed back into his house not long after Lex left. **Maybe it won't be so bad, Lex knowing. He's a good friend, I know I can trust him. But how will Mom and Dad react? I mean with Lana knowing, and than Lex close to knowing...* He didn't know what to do, **Okay, I'll tell Lex. No, don't tell Lex. Stop it Clark, you need to think** He passed his parents at the kitchen table and couldn't even hear them talking to him until his Dad came up and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Son, you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah...I'm fine, just thinking ya know?" He said, and he continued his slow pace up the stairs to his room.
He sat on the edge of his bed thinking. He covered his face with his hands. **Clark what are you going to do?** Martha gave a short knock on the door before she entered.
"Clark is everything all right?" She asked with much concern.
"Yeah...no, I'm in a really big mess." He told him falling back onto his bed as Martha moved over and sat next to him.
"You know you can talk to me about anything." She said looking down at his face, his eyes closed.
"Lana knows." He finally managed to say.
"Lana knows what?"
"My secret, about my powers." He told her.
"How did she handle it? Is she all right?"
"Yeah, she actually handled it pretty well."
"What's wrong than?" She asked, her voice still the much concern tone.
"Lex is close to knowing. I know Dad isn't too fond of Lex, and I don't think he would like it if Lex knew. But Lex knows I'm hiding something, and he knows Lana knows."
"I know your father isn't too fond of Lex, but I'm sure he'll trust your judgement. He knows you and Lex are really good friends." She told him.
She got up off the bed and headed for the dead.
"Mom, do you think I should tell Lex?" he asked leaning up.
"Well...I think you should do what you think is right." She gave him a smile and she left his room shutting his door slowly so it wouldn't slam.
**Great, thanks Mom.** He knew she meant well, but he didn't know what to do. **Okay Clark, your decision: Tomorrow you'll tell Lex the truth, and hopefully he'll be able to keep your secret just like Lana.**
And with that, he shut his light off and went to bed.
