Three Months Later
Chloe
I ran out the front door of school and screamed,"School's out!" Clark and Pete were right behind me, shouting with everyone else. It was great. School was finally over, well at least my sophomore year was. I looked behind me and laughed at Clark. And ran straight into someone. I fell flat on my butt and looked up into gorgeous blue-gray eyes.
"Chloe! I'm sorry, here let me help you up." He stretched out his hand and I grabbed it, letting him pull me up.
"It's fine Lex, really, I'm perfectly fine."
"Good, I'm glad. Now what was this mysterious favor you needed?"
"Oh that! I really, really, really need you to be a chaperone for the dance tonight. We need one more or the dance is off and I already bought my dress."
"Is that all? No problem Chloe, it will be my pleasure."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I shouted, throwing my arms around him. He froze and I pulled away, my cheeks turning red from embarrassment. "Well thanks again, I have to go get ready, I'll see you soon." He smirked. He was enjoying this, enjoying that I was flustered. Well we'll see about that. I turned to walk past him and, turning my head, kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Bye Lex." For once it was his turn to be flustered. His mouth dropped slightly open and his head turned toward me. Surprise and something else in his eyes. I walked slowly to my car, not looking back but feeling his eyes on me. I drove home pondering his eyes. There was something there that I was missing. But I couldn't figure out what. It was driving me crazy. I went home and hopped into the shower. I got out and heard Lana drive up.
"Hey Lana," I yelled, drying off.
"Hey Chloe, you better hurry." I wrapped myself in a towel and walked into Lana's room.
"You're the one that needs to hurry, at least I'm out of the shower." She laughed and walked past me. I almost never regretted inviting her to live with me and my dad. Almost never. I walked into my room and started doing my hair. I grabbed my hair dryer and blew my hair into it's usual fashion. Feathered out in layers, some of it over my eyes. I put on my make-up. Bright red lipstick for tonight. Dark mascara and eye-shadow to emphasize my green eyes. I then went to my closet and put on my dress. A bright red halter, that had almost no back. It was form-fitting to the waist and then loose and sort of wavy. It swished around my legs when I walked, it was only about knee length. I had black, strappy, high-heeled shoes to match. My toenails and fingernails were both bright red. I planned to make an impression.
"Chloe I need the hair dryer," shouted Lana from her room next-door.
"Coming!" I yelled back. I walked in and Lana was already dressed. She had a silvery blue dress that had thin straps and was form fitting. It was almost floor length but had a slit halfway up Lana's thigh. She already had on her silver shoes, lip-gloss, a little mascara, and silver eye-shadow. She looked great. I helped her put her hair up. I put it up in a high pony-tail and then curled her hair in tight spirals, leaving a few strands to frame her face. We did a mirror-check and then ran out the door.
Lex
I got out of my car and walked up to the school. Chloe had called me and told me to meet her here, she needed some sort of favor.. I was almost to the side walk when the doors to the school opened. Kids streamed out, screaming. Then I saw Chloe. She yelled,"School's out!" and then continued running toward me. She looked amazing, so happy and excited. Then I realized she didn't see me. She ran right into me and fell.
"Chloe! I'm sorry, here let me help you up." I reached out my hand to help her up.
"It's fine Lex, really, I'm perfectly fine." Definitely fine! Lex damn you! Stop it!
"Good, I'm glad. Now what was this mysterious favor you needed?"
"Oh that! I really, really, really need you to be a chaperone for the dance tonight. We need one more or the dance is off and I already bought my dress." Chaperone? For a high school dance? Not high on my to-do list. I looked into Chloe's eyes. She was begging with those eyes, how could I say no?
"Is that all? No problem Chloe, it will be my pleasure."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she screamed at me, and threw her arms around me. I froze and she pulled away. Her cheeks turned red and she seemed to want to get away fast. "Well thanks again, I have to go get ready, I'll see you soon." I smirked, really enjoying making her nervous like this. She started to walk past me but then turned her head and kissed me on the cheek. "Bye Lex." My head involuntarily turned towards her, my mouth parting slightly, waiting to kiss her. Wanting to kiss her. But she was already gone. Damn it! How do I let her get to me like this!
Chloe
I stood at the door, waiting to walk around the corner. I took a deep breath and walked onto the red carpet. I walked through the door and smiled. Everyone looked great, everyone looked happy. The first couple songs were fast and I danced with all my friends together in one big group. Then the music stopped and the DJ announced into his mike,"Hey ya'll! First slow song of the night and I decided it's gonna be ladies' choice! Guys line up on the far wall and good luck to all of ya! Ladies, choose wisely!" He started the music and I searched for Clark. I saw him and took a step but then I saw him smile as Lana walked up and took his arm. My heart sank and I walked slowly to the corner. I tuned into the music and realized it was one of my favorite songs.
We're the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everything that is on my mind
But lately something's changed
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head
Softly says...
I watched Lana and Clark dance happily together. And realized once again that I would never have Clark.
Why don't you kiss her?
Why don't you tell her?
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide?
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
I noticed Lex walking towards me.
"You look lonely. Do you want to dance?" He grinned at me, looking so innocent and cute. He stretched out his hand and I smiled. I took his hand and he led me to the dance floor, interlacing his fingers with mine.
Oh, I'm so afraid to make that first move
Just a touch and we could cross the line
Every time she's near
I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
I put my hands on his shoulders and interlace my fingers behind his neck. He placed his hands on my waist and chills raced up and down my spine as his fingertips touched bare skin. My dress didn't cover my back that high.
Why don't you kiss her?
Why don't you tell her?
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide?
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
I look up into his eyes and smile. I'm happy, truly happy for the first time in a long time.
What would you say?
I wonder would she just turn away?
Or would she promise me
That she's here to stay?
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
Lex is half smiling. His eyes look troubled and I wonder why. It's the same look in his eyes! The same one from when I kissed him on the cheek after school. I unknowingly move closer to him, staring into his eyes, trying to figure out what he's trying to tell me. What his eyes are trying to say. His look grows in intensity and I can't look away.
Why don't you kiss her?
(Tell her you love her)
Why don't you tell her?
(Tell her you need her)
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide?
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
I am so close to him I can smell his cologne. He smells great. Chloe get a grip! He moves closer to me, his lips lightly brush mine. Heat spreads from my lips to my toes. He pulls me closer and I kiss him back. His lips press harder against mine, until we need to breath, we pull away. I can't breath, I can't move, I look into his eyes, trying to read them again. Somehow I still can't.
Why don't you kiss her?
The song ends and we slowly pull apart. Then I'm on the floor, clutching my side in pain.
"Ahhh!" I scream in anguish!
"Chloe!" screams Lex. He falls to the floor beside me and puts his hand to my side. It comes away, red, with blood. He puts his other hand under my head, holding it up, and places his bloody one over mine. I try to maintain consciousness. Everything goes dark.
"Chloe hold on!" Lex whispers to me, his face inches from mine. All I can see is his face, his beautiful, captivating eyes now clouded with worry. Then all I can see is his lips, still whispering. "Chloe hold on. Don't leave me. Hang on Chloe. Just hold on!" Then the world slips beyond my reach.
Lex
I stood watching the door, a glass of too sweet, sugary, punch in my hand. I waited for her to walk in. Then she does. I stare openly from my hidden place by the punch bowl. She looks amazing in her bright red halter dress. It outlines her marvelous figure and then sways gracefully around her legs, ending at her knees to reveal perfectly formed calves. Her face shines, her make-up affecting her eyes so they stood out beautifully and glamorously. Her lips were outlined by bright red lipstick, I had to look away before I went over there and did something I shouldn't. Lex you shouldn't do anything! You shouldn't even be thinking about Chloe! Then she turned around and I almost choked on my punch. Her dress was back-less, her perfectly shaped shoulders looked great, smooth and inviting. Her dress was just low enough to reveal all of her back but nothing lower. Then the music stopped and the DJ announced into his mike,"Hey ya'll! First slow song of the night and I decided it's gonna be ladies' choice! Guys line up on the far wall and good luck to all of ya! Ladies, choose wisely!" I watched Chloe walk towards Clark, only to see him walk off with Lana. The smile disappeared from her face as she turned and walked into a corner. My heart broke for her, she loved Clark. Then my heart broke for me. She loved Clark, not me. I tried to ignore it, I listened to the song and realized it was one of my favorites.
We're the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everything that is on my mind
But lately something's changed
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head
Softly says...
For the thousandth time I marveled at how this song reminded me so much of my relationship with Chloe.
Why don't you kiss her?
Why don't you tell her?
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide?
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
Why don't I? I set down my punch and walked towards her.
"You look lonely. Do you want to dance?" I stretched out my hand and she took it, smiling gratefully. I let go of her hand, and twisted mine so I could interlace my fingers with hers. I led her to the dance floor.
Oh, I'm so afraid to make that first move
Just a touch and we could cross the line
Every time she's near
I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
She put her hands behind my neck and I placed mine on her waist. I shivered as my fingertips touched bare skin. I tried to think about something else, anything else, except Chloe. But my eyes locked with hers and I couldn't look away. How can Chloe affect me this way?
Why don't you kiss her?
Why don't you tell her?
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide?
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
She smiled up at me and I melted.
What would you say?
I wonder would she just turn away?
Or would she promise me
That she's here to stay?
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
I look at her and she moves closer. I look at her with more intensity than I thought was possible.
Why don't you kiss her?
Why not?
(Tell her you love her)
I love her so much.
Why don't you tell her?
Why not?
(Tell her you need her)
I need her more than I want to.
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide?
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
I'm so close I can feel her breath on my face. I can't take it anymore. I lightly brush my lips against hers. Heat spreads from the contact to the rest of my body. I press my lips to hers, I want to stay like that forever. But I need to breath. We pull away and I look into her eyes. She's looking into mine, trying to find what's behind them. I try to express all the want, longing, need, all the love that I feel for her.
Why don't you kiss her?
The song ends and we slowly pull apart. Then I hear a sound I've heard many times and always dread. A gunshot. Chloe is on the floor, clutching her side.
"Ahhh!" she screams in pain! My heart breaks.
"Chloe!" I yell. I fall to my knees next to her and put my hand to her side. It comes away sticky with blood. I place it over her hands and hold her head up with my other one. I can see her slowly slipping into unconsciousness.
"Chloe hold on!" I whisper. "Chloe hold on. Don't leave me. Hang on Chloe. Just hold on!" Then her eyes close and she goes limp in my arms. She looks like the angel she did that night after Clark broke her heart. The paramedics arrive and take her to the ambulance.
"Which one of you is going to come with her?" one of them asks. I step forward and follow them. I hold her hand all the way to the hospital, staring at her face and having an inner battle with myself.
God how could this happen?
It's your fault Lex. That sniper was aiming at you. That bullet was meant for you.
No it can't be my fault. It just can't.
It is and you know it.
But I didn't mean for her to get hurt!
Anyone who gets close to you gets hurt!
Then I'll have to just stay away from her.
I look at Chloe's face and slowly die inside.
