Two Years Later

Chloe

Graduation day. The day every high school student dreams about. And I was no exception. I couldn't wait to get out of here, once I had my diploma I was off to Metropolis University. I couldn't stay here any more.

"Chloe!" I turn around and see Lana running towards me.

"What's up Lana?"

"What are you wearing?"

"Huh? To what?" I had no idea what she was talking about.

"This!" She said, waving a lavender colored invitation in my face. I took it from her and read it. I feel all color drain from my face. It was an invitation to a wedding. Lex's wedding. To Helen. "Chloe? Chloe are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost."

"Huh? Oh all of a sudden I don't feel good. I think I'm gonna go home. When is this wedding anyway?"

"Sunday." Sunday. Today was Friday, I had my diploma, I could get out of here and not have to go through this.

"I'll see you later Lana."

"Okay sure, bye."

I ran to my car and turned on my music. Oh great, what a wonderful song to be playing now. I loved this CD but this song didn't help my mood right now.

Kelly Clarkson had always done a great job in describing my life. Umm Chloe where are you going? I looked to the road and realized I was headed to Lex's mansion. There's something I have to know. I have to find out before I close this part of my life forever. I parked in his driveway and walked into his mansion. I never hesitated, I knew that if I did, I would never be able to do this. I walked into his den and froze. Two men in masks had Lex on his knees, his hands were handcuffed behind his back. His head was bleeding, he had obviously fought back.

"Lex!" I yelled, I took a step towards him, but that was far as I got. Two rough hands grabbed my arms and pulled me backwards. "Hey!" I yelled, I shoved my head backwards, into his face.

"Ahh!" I heard him yell. I spun around to face him and saw that his nose was bleeding. Serves him right.

"Chloe!" I heard Lex scream. I turned to face him and was grabbed by another guy. "Chloe get out of here!"

"As if Lex, and miss the chance to fight these guys?" I kneed the guy in the groin and he collapsed to the ground. I followed this with a spinning back kick into the last guy's stomach. All three men were now on the ground. I rushed to Lex and helped him up. Then I felt a sharp stab on my neck. I turned and a fourth guy stood there, grinning, with a syringe in his hand. I collapsed to the ground, all my muscles refused to cooperate. The world dissolved and the last face I saw was Lex's. I never should have come here.

Lex

I stood looking out the window, thinking. I was about to get married. In two days I would be marrying Helen. What am I doing? Then I heard a thump on the floor. I spun around and saw four men in black masks.

"Haven't you ever been taught to knock?" I said. They didn't listen. I tried to run past them but one of them grabbed a vase from my desk and smashed it over my head. I fell to the ground and they handcuffed my hands.

"Lex!" I looked up, it was Chloe! What was she doing here? Oh no! One of the guys jumped her from behind. "Hey!" she screamed, banging her head backwards into his.

"Chloe!" I yelled. "Chloe get out of here!" I couldn't live with myself if these guys hurt you.

"As if Lex, and miss the chance to fight these guys?" I grimaced, this was something I loved about Chloe. Her spirit, but now it might get her killed. She fought off the other two guys and helped me up, but she didn't see the fourth man. He stuck some sort of needle in Chloe's neck and she collapsed.

"Chloe no!" Not again, not again. I couldn't take this again.

Chloe

I woke up sore and stiff. I opened my eyes and saw Lex. He was sitting in a corner with his head between his hands. I looked around, we were in a cement room with one, small window. There was a steel door in one corner. I looked back at Lex, his head was still bleeding.

"Oh." I got up and walked over to him. As soon as I started to walk, the world started spinning and I fell.

"Chloe!" I heard Lex say. He caught me, I lay there in his arms, looking into his eyes. Two years of strategic avoidance, two years of not talking, two years of trying to get over him, and where had it gotten me? Nowhere. I looked into his eyes and all those feelings, all those emotions I'd thought were gone, thought I'd buried, came rushing back. "Are you okay Chloe?"

"Huh what? Yeah I'm fine and I can walk by myself thank you very much." I stood up and he let go of me.

"Okay fine whatever." I sighed, why did we always have to fight? Because you can't get close to him again, you have to keep your distance.

"How's your head?" I asked.

"It's fine."

"It's still bleeding, here let me take a look at that." He was back sitting in the corner. I walked over to him and knelt next to him. He looked up at me and it took every bit of will power I had not to look into his eyes. I looked at his cut. It was a nasty gash but not that deep. I'd heard somewhere that head wounds bleed a lot. It must be true. I winced, it look like it hurt. Tearing a piece of cloth from my sleeve, I dabbed at the blood.

"Ow!"

"Oh hold still you baby." I wiped up all the blood and held the cloth there, applying pressure to stop the bleeding. "Here," I said, taking his hand and putting it on the cloth, "apply pressure until the bleeding stops." My hand was still on his, he looked up and my eyes locked with his. How could he still affect me like this after all this time? After all he'd done to me?

"Thanks Chloe." His voice barely above a whisper.

"No problem." My voice was shaking. He took his other hand and put it gently on my cheek, stroking my skin with his thumb.

"How are you feeling?" he asked. How was I feeling? Scared out of my mind. And not because of where we are, because of how you are.

"Fine," I said. Him touching me was doing strange things to my mind. I couldn't think anymore.

"Good, I'm glad." I had to stop this.

"Fine for being kid-napped!" He pulled away and I stood up. "Who were those men? And why did the kidnapp us? What do they want?"

"I don't know."

"Wonderful." Then before he could retaliate, the door opened. Two men came in, pointing guns at us.

"You, come with us," one of them said, pointing at me.

"Why should I?"

"Do you really want to find out?" he said, raising his gun higher.

"Fine, fine, I'll come. But I expect coffee!"

"Wait!" said Lex, "You don't want her, you want me. I'm the one you came for."

"Shut up," they told him, dragging me out of the room.

"I'll be fine Lex, don't worry." They took me down a long hallway and into another dark room. There was a large silver table in the middle, with metal restraints. Wonderful. They strapped me down and left. I waited, but I didn't have to wait long. Another man came in.

"Hello," he said. I tried to see his face but he had a mask.

"Hello."

"Here's how it works doll." Doll? Okay this guy totally lost all my respect. "I ask you a question and you answer. If you don't things get nasty."

"Define nasty?" He ignored me.

"First question. How do you know Lex Luthor?"

"Why do you want to know?" I had no clue why they were interested in me.

"Answer the question."

"He's friends with my friends." Not a lie but not a whole truth.

"Why were you at his house?" What was I supposed to say to that? There's no way I was gonna tell him the truth.

"Just visiting."

"I warned you what would happen if you didn't tell the truth."

"That was the truth!"

"I've been doing this for a long time and I know when someone's lying." Damn it! Oh well, what was he gonna do?

"What am I supposed to do when you don't believe me then?"

"Tell me the truth doll." I was so sick of this guy.

"Not gonna happen."

"Don't say I didn't warn you doll." He went over to the wall and grabbed something off a hook. He came back and got right in my face, I mean like inches away. He needed a tic-tac or something. Ugh! "You gonnna tell me the truth?" I pretended to think about it.

"Hmm...no!" He took the little stick thing and touched it to my arm. "Ahh!" Pain radiated out from my arm and to the rest of my body. It hurt like hell! Almost as bad as the gunshot wound. He withdrew the device and smiled. I hated him so much right then. "

"So, you gonna tell me now doll?"

"Hell no you son of a bitch!"

"Such bad language for such a proper young lady."

"Go to hell!" He touched me with that thing again. "Ahh!" I screamed again. This was something like electrocution. I hated it. A lot. I didn't know how long I could last. Time to see if I could withstand torture.

Lex

I was sitting in the corner of the room our captors had put us in. My head in my hands I sighed. I couldn't believe I'd gotten Chloe into this mess.

"Oh." I looked up and Chloe was trying to walk towards me. She must have still been groggy from the sedative because she fell.

"Chloe!" I said, moving faster than I thought I could to catch her. She was in my arms again, looking into my eyes. Those green eyes held me prisoner. Two years of avoiding each other, two years without talking to each other, two years of me trying to get over her, two years of going out with other women, trying to fall in love with Helen, all for nothing. I still loved Chloe. Great, what now? "Are you okay Chloe?"

"Huh what? Yeah I'm fine and I can walk by myself thank you very much." She stood up and I let go of her.

"Okay fine whatever." We always had to argue.

"How's your head?" she asked.

"It's fine." I went back to sit in the corner.

"It's still bleeding, here let me take a look at that." She walked over to me and started to doctor me.

"Ow!"

"Oh hold still you baby. Here," she said, taking my hand and putting it on my wound, "apply pressure until the bleeding stops." Her hand was still on mine, my eyes shot to hers. I couldn't look away.

"Thanks Chloe," I whispered.

"No problem." Her voice was shaking slightly. My hand moved without my consent. It reached up and stroked her cheek. Her skin was so soft, my lips tingled, wanting to feel it too.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"Fine," she said.

"Good, I'm glad." She had no idea how glad I was.

"Fine for being kid-napped!" I pulled away and stood up. "Who were those men? And why did the kidnapp us? What do they want?"

"I don't know."

"Wonderful." She was so sarcastic, I loved it. This was the Chloe I knew. Then the moment was ruined, two men barged in through the door.

"You, come with us." He was pointing at Chloe.

"Why should I?" I almost laughed out loud, but this was not funny.

"Do you really want to find out?"

"Fine, fine, I'll come. But I expect coffee!" Oh God Chloe why do you have to be like this? If you were like any other woman we wouldn't be here now.

"Wait!" I said, "You don't want her, you want me. I'm the one you came for." What could they possibly want with Chloe?

"Shut up," they said. And they dragged her out of the room.

"I'll be fine Lex, don't worry." Don't worry she said. That's all I ever did, worry about her. I sank to the floor, and put my head in my hands, remembering why I had chosen to marry Helen. The dreadful day when I had finally found out about who shot her.

Haha! I so hate cliffhangers but u do it to me, so i do it to u, haha, sweet revenge!
