Chapter 16
Waving goodbye to the 7 friends he had made, Clark didn't notice Chloe's eyes firmly on him. She considered the thoughts running through her mind and then made it up. She had to find out the truth. Slowly she picked up a stray plank of wood from the ground and smashed it over Clark's back.
He spun round quickly in surprise to find Chloe staring at the broken plank, eyes slowly rising to her target.
"What are you?" she asked him, breathlessly. Clark didn't know what to say. He felt angry and scared and unsure. How could she have hit him? What if he hadn't been so strong, she could have really hurt him. But the more reasonable part of him said that if he didn't explain things then he'd never get her trust back.
"Chloe, I'm not who you think I am," he began. "What do you mean?" she replied.
"I've lied to you a hundred times, and I hope that when you hear the truth you'll understand why." He breathed out slowly. "I'm not from this planet."
"What?" Chloe asked, eyes wide.
"I came here in the meteor shower. My parents found me and raised me as a normal child. I only found out the truth 2 years ago myself."
There, it was out. But Clark couldn't bear to look at her. He was afraid that she'd hate him, fear him. He didn't want to see the look that Pete had had on his face when he'd told him the truth.
But Chloe brought her hand to his face and turned it towards her. "Clark, it doesn't matter to me where you're from. I know you, and I trust you," she told him truthfully.
"You do," he said, realising her sounded pathetic. She smiled. "And I always will," she replied.
Clark regarded her reaction. It was so calm and excepting. He reached up to her hand on his cheek and took it in his own.
"I don't know what I trust," he said quietly. "But I know I trust you. I know I trust this."
He brought her closer to him and kissed her. She responded with a fiery passion, and Clark felt jolts of happiness run through their bodies. Then something happened her didn't expect. Max had told him about his connection to Liz. How whenever they kissed, he got flashes from her. And right now, Clark could see it. Chloe's life seemed to flash before his eyes. Tears began to run down his face as he saw her crying for her mother, he saw the determination that always kept her going, and he saw how much she cared.
When they broke apart, Chloe looked up at him, seeing the tears on his face. "Please say those are tears of happiness," she said.
"Everything just feels so right," he told her. And they walked back into the house hand in hand.
