The more Clark talked, the further Lana was from him - both directly and indirectly. They had began the talk near the open window and now Lana was at least a foot from the stairs as if she was ready to dash off at any second. Clark remained at the window feeling his heart breaking with every breath. The way Lana was looking at him - he didn't like it in the slightest. Finally, when Clark had told her everything, the loft became quiet. It wasn't a peaceful quiet. It was more like a blank quiet which hovered over them hauntingly.

"Lana..." Clark began weakly.

"So that's what you are? You're an...alien." The way Lana had said 'alien' almost made Clark feel worse - as if he was a monster.

"Lana, I told you - "

"I can't believe you could do this, Clark!" Lana shouted angrily. "I trusted you. I risked friendships with Michael and Erica for you. They both wondered why I would hang with such a weird, quiet guy. You know, up until now I just thought they were judging you by the outside - that they couldn't understand you the way I did - but now I see I was the one in the wrong. You're everything they said you are."

"Lana, stop! You don't understand!" Clark pleaded taking a step forward. As he did, Lana took a step back towards the stairs. "Don't get near me, Clark."

"Lana..." He could hear his voice shaking. "Please...I never wanted you to get hurt..."

"To late," Lana retorted fighting back the tears that filled her eyes. She whirled around and stormed down the stairs walking quickly out of the barn.

Clark could have sped outside and caught her, but he knew better then that.

'She just needs some time,' Clark's Heart comforted thoroughly.

'Stupid, stupid, stupid...' Clark's Mind protested slapping Clark mentally.

After that day Clark became lost in a thick, dark depression. It seemed ironic to all the other senoirs at Smallville High because they were now experiencing their last week of school. Clark no longer drew randomly in class. He just sat and stared out the window wishing he was anyone else but Clark Kent the Alien Boy. The guys teased him more then ever now. He couldn't sleep at night so he would often doze off in class which proved to be every embarassing if he was caught (which he almost always was).

Soon prom passed...senior year passed...graduation passed....Clark tried to smile and pretend he was happy. It was summer! No more school! But no matter how well he covered up his sadness, he always went to sleep at night with a broken heart and no reason to get up the next day. He didn't know how he was going to live like this, but he had no alterative.

'Never again will I open up to somebody like that,' Clark promised himself one night. 'I knew it would happen like this. Why was I so naive to think it would work? I'm not meant to be here. I don't belong on Earth. I just hurt people. No matter how hard I try, I always hurt people...'

A.n. it'll end happy. i promise. :o)

so i guess u can continue with angry chants now. lol
