Chloe ran out of the restaurant. She pulled her cell out of her purse and dialed a number for a cab.

"Chloe," Lex yelled "Chloe what are you doing? Why are you upset?"

Chloe spun around and looked at Lex. "I thought you were smarter than that Luthor."

Seeing the tears streaming down Chloe's face pierced a hole in Lex's heart. "Chloe, you are here with Clark. If anything, I should be upset. We had a date."

"We did didn't we? Imagine my surprise when Clark shows up to my house saying you are on OUR date with another woman." Chloe put her cell phone to her ear and started talking to the person on the other line. "Yes I would like a cab please, I am at…"

Lex grabbed the phone away from Chloe. "I'm sorry but we won't be needing the cab thank you. Sorry for the inconvenience."

"What was that for?" Chloe yelled as she yanked the phone out of Lex's hands. "How am I going to get home now?

"Me. You can get a drive home with me to my place."

"NO LEX! Don't you get it? You cheated on me with whoever that woman was. Clark saw you too. I guess that is why you never showed up at my place." Chloe walked over to the curb and sat down on it, not worrying about getting her dress dirty.

"Chloe I have never seen that woman before tonight. I didn't make it to your house tonight was because Pete came yelling for me so I had to deal with that. I went to your house around 8:00 but you had left so I came here and saw you were with Clark. Upset, I sat down and met the woman at the table I was sitting at. Chloe I had no intention to ever hurt you. I love you." Lex held his hand up to Chloe's face and wiped her tears away with his thumb.

Chloe couldn't help but melt away at this gesture. "I guess we got a little mixed up then." Chloe stated as Lex helped her back up.

Just as Lex was about to kiss Chloe, Clark came strutting out of the restaurant.

"What's the matter Luthor? I stole Chloe from you just like I said I would."

Chloe, realizing that Clark must have set this whole thing up, walked over to Clark and slapped him. "In order to have stolen me from Lex, you would have had to have me leave with you which I was about to do before I saw Lex. But now, I never want to see you again."

Lex laughed and looked at Clark. "Shouldn't have tried to take on a Luthor Kent. We always win." Lex placed his hand on the small of Chloe's back and walked her to his car. After he helped her in and shut her door. He waved goodbye to Clark and laughed again as he got in himself.

Clark stood there as he watched Lex drive to his house with Chloe in the car with him. 'How could the plan have failed?' He asked himself. He couldn't worry about that now though. He had to help Pete get out of Jail.

*~~~~~*****~~~~~*

After what seemed like hours, Clark was finally able to get Pete out. Luckily, Lex wasn't truly evil and set the bail at something that even Clark was able to pay.

"I can't believe the plan failed." Pete said as he got into Clark's truck.

"I don't know, but let me worry about that. You have to worry about telling your parents about your hours in the slammer."

"I would hardly call it that Clark. It was only a few hours and my parents will understand. They know how Lex is, he is a Luthor."

"I think we need another plan Pete. We can't allow Chloe to stay with him. You yourself called him evil."

"I don't think so Clark. I got arrested for helping you. I'm done with your plans. Let Chloe be with whoever she wants to, even if it is Lex." With that, Pete got out of the truck and headed inside to tell his parents about his interesting night.

Clark drove home wondering if Pete was right. Maybe he should give up.

A/N- Ok tell me what you think. Should I end it happy or have Clark try and get Chloe again? If you think that Clark should keep trying, give me some suggestions! Thanks!
