To Be Yours

Chapter One - Part Two - Clues to You


It wasn't as if he'd never noticed he'd felt something for his 'pen pal', but more like he never wanted to admit it. He never would want her hurt. Because everyone he tried to love got hurt, or hurt him…

One of the first people he loved, betrayed him, and he felt like he could never love again.

WriterGirl- Can we meet sooner?

Sun and the Air- When?


Point of View Change - Lana

Lana had noticed the way Chloe had become strangely less attached to the Torch and more attached to her laptop. She'd seen Chloe fall in love without Chloe knowing she'd fallen.

Lana jerked her head up when she heard Chloe crying softly in the living room of the Sullivan house. She snuck out of the room Chloe and Lana shared and read Chloe's conversation, unbeknownst to Chloe.

Sun and the Air- Are you sure?

WriterGirl- About meeting you? No… About you… always…

Sun and the Air- Are you that romantic in person?

WriterGirl- No…but with you I'm willing to be…

Sun and the Air- I don't think I can last three weeks…

WriterGirl- Piper nearly waited nine months…

Sun and the Air- I've been waiting for nearly three years… Since the moment we first talked in that RPG chatroom, I felt as if I knew you. We might have met, sure, but… Even if we have, I never knew you. I know that you like to eat strawberries dipped in a water-sugar mixture. I know that your hair has never been died, despite the fact that you look nothing like either parent in terms of hair color. And I know that you make me happy.

Sun and the Air- I've never had a real family, as I've told you. But I feel as if you could be that family. To be yours would be the greatest gift I could ever receive.

Lana's heart soared, and wished someone would say such sweet words to her. She heard Chloe type and waited before looking over her shoulder again.

WriterGirl- To be yours would be the greatest gift I could ever give, and the greatest gift I could ever be given…


Time Change - 8:00 am, 7 hours later, Same Point of View

Lana unlocked the front door to the Talon, as she put the OPEN sign up. Chloe was already sitting in a chair, drinking coffee after Lana had let her in early.

"Did you see the sign, Chloe?" Lana asked, smiling secretively at the blonde.

"Sign? The Talon sign? No.. Why?" Chloe asked.

"We have wireless internet now. It wasn't my idea." Lana admitted.

"That means I won't have to leave to talk to … Never mind…" Chloe said quickly.

After nearly a half an hour, people poured into the Talon. By noon, the Talon was full.

Lana took her break as he came in with a laptop.

"Hey… Can I talk to you later?" Lana asked him.

"I guess…" he said as the beeping of an IM came off his computer.

Lana turned around to leave, noticing one IM.

From WriterGirl, also known as Chloe Sullivan.


Point of View Change - Chloe

Chloe was torn. Torn between the love she had for a farm boy, and the love she had for someone who's name she didn't even know.

With Clark, she had the Kent charm. The sweet serene smile. The beautiful voice. The handsome looks. The hero complex. The best friend. The feeling of safety.

But with Clark she also had the secrets. The hiding of his potential. The haunting of his 'other self' that seemed to pop out every once in awhile. The feeling of cutthroat fights. And there was the proven fact that if you're friends with Clark, you'll get hurt.

With her mystery guy, she had fun. She could completely be herself. She could hide her reporter side, and give her heart a chance. She could talk about the latest Square-soft game without being called boyish. She could be romantic, and seductive.

But with her mystery guy she had danger. She had no safety. She had shown her weaknesses, let her guard down. She could be raped or murdered when she met him.

And yet… Chloe had made her conclusion. She was more in love with her mystery man than she was with Clark. Maybe she just had an attraction to danger.
