Your're not Alone

Chapter 2 ~~~~~

(Clark catches her just before she hits the ground)

Clark: Vanessa! (Tries to wake her up) Vanessa!

(He picks her up and speeds to the house.)

Clark: Mom! Dad!

(They come rushing in.)

Mrs. K: Oh my god, Clark what happened?

Clark: I don't know. One minute she was ok then the next she's out cold.

Mrs. K: We need to get her to a hospital. There may be something wrong. (Clark nodes and speeds off to the hospital.

Mr. K: Martha, you stay here I'm going to the hospital. Try and call her parents.

~ Hospital ~

(Vanessa is laying in a hospital bed, covered with heart monitors. Clark and Mr. K are outside the room talking with a doctor.)

Doctor: I've never seen anything like this before. (Pause) I'm afraid that with out resources we can't do much, but keep her comfortable.

Clark: (Look at Vanessa threw the window) Can I see her.

Doctor: She in a coma, but sure.

(The doctor leaves and Mr. K turns toward Clark.)

Mr. K: I'm sorry Clark, but you're not meant to save everyone.

Clark: I know.

(Mr. K goes off to go get a drink, while Clark goes into to Vanessa room. He takes a seat by Vanessa's bed)

Clark: I'll save you I promise.

Chloe: Clark, you can't always be the hero.

(Chloe walks over to Clark)

Chloe: What happened?

Clark: We were just talking when she just collapsed.

(Chloe cell rings. She puts up her and to say 1 min. then exits the room. Clark watches her leave. He starts to listen to her conversation, when he ears a loud gasp. He turns to find Vanessa sitting up in bed, breathing hard.)

Clark: Vanessa!

Vanessa: Clark...(Her hands start to shake and turn a funny green color then return to normal. Clark looks at Vanessa, who tries to cover her hands.)

Chloe: Vanessa! You're awake!

(Vanessa turns her attention from Chloe to her hands)

Chloe: You ok?

Vanessa: I-I have to go. (She starts to grab her stuff)

Clark: You can't go, you have a disease.

Vanessa: You think I don't know that.

(Clark looks at Chloe)

Clark: You do?

Vanessa: Yea, its kind hard to miss.

Chloe: You look so pale.

Clark: Vanessa, where are you going?

(She had her outfit on was about to go out the door.)

Vanessa: I have to go.

(She exits the room and Chloe and Clark rush after her.)

Clark: Are you crazy? You just collapsed, you can't leave the hospital.

Chloe: Clark right. It's dangerous to leave the hospital, especially when they don't know what you have.

(Vanessa turns to face them)

Vanessa: It's not a disease,...(She looks from Chloe to Clark)...I'm dieing.

Chloe: From what?

Vanessa: Nothing. It's just my time.

(Chloe and Clark look at each other, when they look back Vanessa gone.)

Chloe: Where did she go?

Clark: I...(Looks around) don't know.
