~ Hospital ~
(Clark is sitting in a char next to Vanessa's bed, when Lana enters.)
Clark: Lana, hey.
Lana: I came over as soon as I heard. So how is she doing?
Clark: Not too good.
Lana: I'm sorry Clark, (Takes a seat next to Clark.) she must have meant a lot.
Clark: Yea, she did.
(Pete enters)
Pete: Hey Clark, your folks are on there way.
Clark: Thanks Pete, I...
(Vanessa stirs.)
Vanessa: Clark?
Clark: Yea I'm here.
Vanessa: You got to get out of here.
Pete: Um Lana...could I see you out side for a minute.
Lana: (Looking at him wierd.) Yea, sure.
(Pete and Lana exit the room)
Vanessa: Clark, they will come looking for you. You have to get out of here.
Clark: I'm not leaving
(Vanessa closes her fists and Clark's chair moves.)
Vanessa: Leave.
Clark: They will be looking for you too.
Vanessa: I can take care of my self.
Clark: Not from where I'm standing.
Vanessa: Look, I don't need any of your self pity.
(Mr. K and Mrs. K enter.)
Mrs. K: Vanessa, how are you doing?
(Vanessa just turns her head away and Mrs. Looks from Clark to Vanessa.)
Mrs. K: Vanessa, are you ok?
Vanessa: I appreciate what you have done for me, really I do. I just...(eyes start to water)...I just really miss home.
Mrs. K: (Moves over and gives Vanessa a hug.) It's ok sweetie.
Vanessa: (She burst into tiers) I can't help but feel alone. I've lost everything, my friends my family, my future.
Mrs. K: You still have a family here and you always will.
Mr. K: What about your parents?
Vanessa: They were never real. (Pause) Clark, your parents were good people. They sent you away to save you, they never wanted to let you go.
(Vanessa looks out the window to see Lex talking to the doctors.)
Vanessa: Clark, I know how much you like Lex and all. Just be careful what you say around him. His father is watching his every move.
(Clark looks at Lex outside the window and Vanessa closes her eyes.)
Mrs. K: Vanessa?
(Clark looks back at Vanessa.)
Clark: Vanessa.
(The hart monitor goes into a constant beep and doctors and nurses rush in. One of the doctors grabs the hart stopper thing. (sorry don't know the name.))
Doctor: Clear!
Nurse: Clear.
(He shocks Vanessa, but it does nothing. A nurse starts CPR. After about ten minutes they stop.)
Doctor: Time of death, 7:22 pm
