Inevitability by Electric Spyro
A.n. here's the next chapter. thanx for the reviews. don't have much else to say so....enjoy!
"Hey Clark," Mr. Kent greeted as Clark walked into the house after a long day of working on the farm.
"Hey," he retorted flatly. He started up the stairs to mope alone in his room some more.
"Wait, Clark, come down here." Clark stopped and turned around reluctantly sitting down on the couch in the living room next to his father. It was only then that he realized he hadn't been in the living room since before school ended.
"What's up?" Clark asked trying to smile.
Mr. Kent didn't not return the gesture. "Clark, your mother and I have seen a huge difference in your attitude lately. At first we thought you were just going through a stage that everyone goes through, but," he looked sincerely in his son's eyes, "Clark, I'm your father. I know when something's bothering you. What is it?"
Clark remained silent, so Mr. Kent continued. "We know how much you use to love to draw - you have stacks of books in your room and in the loft - but lately we haven't seen you draw a single thing."
"There's no point," Clark stated simply.
"And Lana use to always come and have dinner with us. Why hasn't she - "
"Because I told her my secret and she hates me now." Clark felt the depression tearing his heart again.
"You told her?" Mr. Kent asked concerned.
"I had to. I wanted to finish my chores early so I use super sped just when she was coming over to see me. She saw me use my powers. There was nothing else I could do."
"You could have insisted you had no idea you had powers."
"No I couldn't," Clark protested as he stood up. "I could never lie like that - especially to Lana. She deserved to know."
Just then, Mrs. Kent entered the room carried a pan of freshly baked cookies. She handed one to each of them, and then sat down. "So what are you two talking about? I heard Lana's name."
Mr. Kent explained their conversation as Clark remained quiet taking small bites of his cookie wishing he could just disappear. After Mr. Kent was finished speaking, Mrs. Kent said, "Oh, I see...." - she threw Clark a sympathetic motherly look - "...that's why Clark's not at the airport."
"Airport?" Clark repeated sitting down preparing himself for the worst.
"Yes, didn't you know?" Mrs. Kent confirmed with a surprised look. "I ran into Lana's aunt Nell at the store a few days ago. She told me Lana had been thinking about going to an art college in Europe. Nell secretly sent in her application and discovered that Lana was accepted. She told Lana it was a graduation present. Nell told me Lana couldn't wait to leave - she thinks it's too crowded in Smallville."
"So she's at the airport right now?" Clark asked is eyes widening.
"Yes. I'm so sorry, Clark. I thought you knew."
What was Lana thinking?! How could she leave? Smallville isn't so tiny - especially when you live out in the country part. It was just as little and busy as most European towns.Then it hit him - Lana wasn't leaving because she was crowded, she was leaving because of him. She was scared of him. He saw it in her eyes. 'Why can't she understand that I won't hurt her?'
"I have to stop her. I can't let her go without letting her know that I - " Clark's voice stopped. He could barely think straight. What if she was on the plane right now? Before his parents could say anything more, Clark super sped out of the Kent farm and made his way to Metropolis International Airport.
