One Year Ago
Lex
"Why'd you do it?"
"I wanted to protect you."
"Bull shit!"
"She was only after your money Lex. She would have hurt you in the end."
"No, she's not like that!"
"Just how well do you know her?"
"Well enough."
"I'm sorry Lex."
"No. No you're not. You shot her! And, no matter how hard I try, I can't for the life of me figure out why!"
"I didn't shoot her Lex."
"You ordered her shot."
"Even if I did, what are you going to do about it?"
"Never let you hurt her again."
"There's only one way to do that."
"I know."
"Good, now I met someone last night. I really think you'll like her. Her name is Helen and she's more your type."
"Of course Dad, whatever you say."
Present(well not present present but back to where we were in the story)
I sighed, thinking how if only things had been different. Chloe and I had had only limited contact. Only occasionally seeing her on the street and from a distance. I had tried to stop thinking about her, I had tried to love Helen. But I just couldn't. I really did love Helen, but not like I loved Chloe. I loved Helen like a sister. And I knew the only way to keep myself away from Chloe would be to marry Helen. So I was going to. I had to get out of here, had to get away from Chloe. Then the door opened and they threw Chloe in carelessly. She landed on the floor with a thump and I ran to her, holding her in my arms.
"Chloe! Chloe talk to me! Are you okay?" She opened her eyes and they had an angry look, making the green in them seem all the more pronounced.
"Bastards," she said groaning. I laughed out loud for the first time in a long time. This was the Chloe I knew, the Chloe I loved. "I didn't tell them anything."
"What did they want to know?"
"How I knew you, why I was at your house. Any idea why?" It all made sense now. They wanted me to talk, probably to get something on my father. And they were going to use her to make me talk. They wanted to make sure she was important to me. And me running to her like I had, that had proved she was. Shit!
"We have to get out of here! Can you walk?"
"Absolutely." She tried to stand, but collapsed back into my arms. I almost kissed her right there and then, I couldn't take this much longer. "Not." I laughed again. I carried her over to the wall and put her down, sitting next to her. They had obviously tortured her somehow. She was too weak to stand.
"We'll rest for now, escape once it's dark."
"Mm-hm," she mumbled. I looked over at her and saw that she was almost asleep. Her head fell sideways to rest on my shoulder. I lightly brushed the hair off her face, my fingers lingering there, not wanting to leave. Her skin was so soft. I trace her face, her eyebrows, her eyelids, her nose, her cheekbones, her lips. My fingertips tingle with wanting, I can't believe how she makes me feel, my whole body aches with wanting, with longing. I gently kiss her forehead and pull her closer to me, wrapping my arms around her. Holding her for one last time.
Chloe
After they finished torturing me, I still hadn't told them anything. But now I lacked the strength to stand. They dragged me back to where Lex was and threw me on the floor, slamming the door behind me.
"Chloe! Chloe talk to me! Are you okay?" I opened my eyes and looked up into his handsome face. His eyes were clouded with worry. I opened my mouth and said the first thing that came to mind.
"Bastards." He laughed out loud and I smiled. I loved to make him laugh. "I didn't tell them anything."
"What did they want to know?"
"How I knew you, why I was at your house. Any idea why?" He ignored my question and I was too tired to ask again, too tired to argue with him right now.
"We have to get out of here! Can you walk?"
"Absolutely." I tried to stand up but fell back into his arms. I wished I could stay there forever. "Not." He carried me to the wall and sat down next to me.
"We'll rest for now, escape once it's dark." His words faded, my eyes closed.
"Mm-hm," I mumbled. I felt his hand on my face, if I had been less tired I told myself I would have fought back. But I knew I would have given in to his touch. When his fingertips touched my lips I almost groaned in pleasure. He kissed my forehead and pulled me closer to him. I didn't resist, I wanted this so much. Wanted it more than anything. When he touched me I wanted him more than I wanted to.
Lex
I woke up and saw Chloe's face. I sighed, wishing it would be her face I would see every morning for the rest of my life instead of Helen's. I tried to stand up but her arms rose up and encircled my neck, pulling me back down. I almost groaned, I wanted to kiss her so bad right then. I had to get away from her. She was going to make me do something we would both regret.
"Chloe. Chloe wake up."
"Huh? What?" She opened her eyes and I couldn't breath. She was looking at me with those gorgeous, captivating eyes, and her face betrayed total innocence. I looked away, she gently let go of me and I stood up. "What are we going to do Lex?" She stood up beside me and looked at me like I should know what to do. I couldn't let her down, a plan slowly formed in my mind.
Chloe
"Chloe. Chloe wake up."
"Huh? What?" I opened my eyes and saw Lex's beautiful face. My arms were around his neck and he was only inches away. I had to get away from him. I let go of him and he stood up. "What are we going to do Lex?" I asked him, standing up.
Lex
"Hurry! Hurry! Come here you bastards! She's sick!" I screamed, banging on the door with both fists. Chloe was in the corner, curled into a ball and moaning with pretend pain. The guards opened the door and rushed to Chloe, kneeling next to her. Perfect, they forgot all about me. These were obviously not professionals. I took both my fists and clasped them together, hitting the first guy at the base of his neck, he collapsed to the ground, out cold. Chloe drove her knee into the other guy's stomach. I kicked him in the head and grabbed his gun. "Let's go!" I told Chloe, running out the door. She ran after me and surprisingly everyone else had left. We ran outside and looked around.
"We're only a few miles outside of town."
"I think you're right Chloe, let's go." We started walking side by side, but not talking. We walked for two hours, saying nothing. Just thinking. I don't know what Chloe was thinking but all I could think about was her.
What am I doing? Marrying Helen? Am I nuts?
Helen is the better choice. She loves you, Chloe doesn't.
I don't know that.
Besides, you got Chloe shot.
No! My father got her shot!
Because he knew you were starting to fall in love with her.
I've never felt so attracted to anyone.
So she's pretty, so are a lot of girls.
No. It's more than that.
No you just think it's more than that. She is messing with your head!
Don't you think I know that! She's been messing with my head since the first day I met her!
Then we got there, we were at my mansion. We walked into the den, where this had all started.
"I had a reason for coming here Lex." Oh no. God please no.
"And that would be?" I didn't want to know! Did I?
"I needed to know."
"Know what?" She came closer, staring straight into my eyes.
"Know why you left that day. I need to know why you left the hospital." I knew exactly what she was talking about. I shrugged. "I'm not leaving until you tell me."
"Fine stay if you want. I'll leave." I headed for the door. She tackled me. I mean a full on tackle, like the kind you see in football games. I pushed her off me and we were back to fighting. Fighting like we had all those years ago. She came at me, trying a spinning kick. I flipped her and she landed on her back. I dove for her, to pin her, but she rolled out of the way and tripped me. I was on the floor and she was on top of me, her face inches from mine. I tried to get up but she just pressed her body closer to hold me down. Her face was closer than ever. Her lips all but touching mine. She looked into my eyes and put her lips next to my ear.
"Tell me," she whispered, her lips tickling my ear.
"Chloe...Chloe I can't," I whispered back, breathless.
"Please." She brushed her lips against my cheek. Shivers raced up and down my body, her touch was intoxifying. "I need to know." That voice was getting to me, that soft voice that I loved so much, that grew so fierce when she was angry, that bubbled with laughter when she was happy. That voice was now soft and breathless, that voice was going to drive me insane, I had to give in. I flipped her over so I was on top of her. I was inches from her, I couldn't take it, I had to do something! I put my lips next to her ear.
"I love you Chloe. I want you, I need you, I always have," I whispered. I heard her intake sharply and then I kissed her. I put my lips on hers and let all my emotions loose. I had bottled them inside for two years and now they all came out. My lips traveled down her neck to her collarbone. I hear her moan in pleasure and bring my lips back to hers. When I finally need to breathe, I pull back. I stare into her eyes and see a shell shocked look. It never occurred to her that I was in love with her.
"But Lex..." she whispers, out of breath.
"Chloe, don't. Just...not now," I interrupt her. We stare at each other for a second longer, then I can't take it anymore. My whole body is aching with want and I can't ignore it any longer. I kiss her again, running my hands through her hair, across her face. I pick her up, carrying her over to the couch, never moving my mouth from hers. When we finally pull apart to breathe, I come to my senses, something that was a miracle considering I finally had Chloe. I look into her eyes and realize she is still confused.
"I still don't get it Lex. If you love me..." she pauses and takes a deep breath, as if she still can't handle it,"then why did you leave? Why did you leave when I needed you most?" I looked into her eyes and took a deep breath, she deserved the truth.
"Because it was more than I could handle. I love you so much and I couldn't bare to see you in so much pain. Especially when it was my fault you were shot."
"Lex-" she started but I cut her off.
"No Chloe let me finish." I get up and walk over to the bar, getting her a water, and doing something else I knew I had to do. "I know who shot you," I said giving her the water. She was obviously thirsty because she drank the whole thing. Which was a good thing. "My father ordered you shot because he realized I was starting to fall for you. He thought you would betray me, he said he was trying to protect me. I don't believe him, but I can't figure out why he would do that. I have to stay away from you. If I get close to you, you'll only end up getting hurt again. Besides, I know you could never love me."
"Lex," she started, standing up. She took a step toward me but faltered, "What's going on? I'm so tired Lex. What...what did you do?" I caught her just as she fell, I picked her up and looked into her eyes.
"Just rest Chloe, everything will be fine."
"I'm so sleepy...I can't concentrate...what's going on? My...my water...what did you do to it?" She struggles to keep her eyes open,"Why Lex...why?"
"Just rest Chloe, sleep."
"No Lex, I don't want to sleep." She paused, taking a deep breath and forcing her eyes open. "Wait Lex, there's something you need to know. I...I..." she trailed off, resting her head on my chest.
"Just rest Chloe, relax, everything will be fine, just relax, go to sleep." Her eyes closed for the last time and she went limp, her head falling back. She looked like an angel, I had to look away. I took her upstairs into a room, no one ever used and put her on the bed.
"Good-bye Chloe." I kissed her one last time, lightly, on the lips. I brushed my lips across her forehead. "Sweet dreams," I whispered against her smooth skin. I pulled away and went to change, I had a wedding to get to.
As I said my vows I thought back to Chloe. She wouldn't wake up until after the wedding, until I was already on the way to my honeymoon.
"I do," I said. One lonely tear slid down my cheek. Everyone assumed it was a tear of joy. It wasn't. It was a tear of heartbreak. I knew I would never see Chloe again, I couldn't see her again. Good-bye Chloe.
Chloe
"Hurry! Hurry! Come here you bastards! She's sick!" Lex screamed. I curled into a ball and moaned in fake pain. When this was all over maybe I should take up acting. The guards rushed over to me and Lex took the first one out. I kneed the next guy in the stomach, hard. He fell to the floor and Lex kicked him in the head. Ow that would hurt! Oh well, he deserved it. "Let's go!" said Lex, grabbing the guy's gun and running out the door. There was nobody else in the building. We ran outside and looked around.
"We're only a few miles outside of town," I said.
"I think you're right Chloe, let's go." We started walking towards town. I couldn't talk to him right now, I had to get a grip on my thoughts first. Lex seemed like he was thinking too, I don't know what he was thinking about but all I thought about was him.
This is crazy. I love Lex, why can't I tell him?
Because he broke your heart. He left you alone when you needed him.
Maybe he didn't know I needed him.
Maybe he just didn't care.
I don't believe that.
You believe whatever you want, you know it's true.
But I love him. Isn't that a reason to give him a second chance?
You loved Clark, you got over him.
Clark was just a crush. Lex is...I don't know...more than that.
No Chloe he's not. He's playing on your feelings, messing with your head.
I won't let him mess with my head.
You have no control.
Then we were at the mansion, somehow we ended up in the den. Where all of this had started. I had to finish what I'd come here to do.
"I had a reason for coming here Lex."
"And that would be?" I couldn't stay away. I needed to see you one more time.
"I needed to know."
"Know what?" If you love me, and why I love you. I walked closer and looked into his eyes.
"Know why you left that day. I need to know why you left the hospital. I'm not leaving until you tell me."
"Fine stay if you want. I'll leave." Damn you Lex! Not a chance! I tackled him, releasing all my pent up anger. We were fighting again, that was how our whole relationship started, fighting. It was only fair that that was how our relationship would end. I attempted a spinning kick but he flipped me. He tried to pin me, but I tripped him and pinned him. I was on top of him, inches away. Unconsciously, my face moved closer to his, I was going to kiss him. I stopped myself, and looked into his eyes.
"Tell me," I whispered next to his ear.
"Chloe...Chloe I can't," he whispered, pain in his voice.
"Please." I brushed my lips against his cheek, overwhelmed with an intense feeling of wanting. "I need to know." He flipped me over and pinned me, looking straight into his eyes, I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, couldn't move.
"I love you Chloe. I want you, I need you, I always have," he whispered. My breath caught in my throat. I had waited so long to hear him say that. He kisses me, pressing his lips to mine. I kiss him back, trying to convey all my emotions in that one kiss. I feel his lips on my neck, on my collar bone. My eyes closed and I heard myself groan in obvious pleasure. He brought his lips back to mine, kissing me again, I feel the smoothness of his skin and the roughness of his lips. I feel the scar on his upper lip on my cheek. I had always loved that scar, it gave him a rugged look. He pulled away, obviously out of breath. I knew I looked shocked and I was. I never knew he felt that way.
"But Lex..." I whisper, it didn't make sense. If he loved me then why did he leave?
"Chloe, don't. Just...not now," he interrupted me. I look into his eyes and see the person I had always admired, always needed, always wanted. I couldn't stand it any more, I needed him, I wanted him. I pulled him to me and kissed him again. I feel his hands in my hair, on my face. He picks me up, I wrap my arms around his neck, he sets me down on the couch. When we pull apart for air, I realize that I have just lost all control. When I'm around him, I just lose all sense of self control. It scared me, but at the same time, I loved that feeling.
"I still don't get it Lex. If you love me..." I pause and take a deep breath, I still can't believe that part, "then why did you leave? Why did you leave when I needed you most?" I looked up at him with pleading eyes, I needed to know.
"Because it was more than I could handle. I love you so much and I couldn't bare to see you in so much pain. Especially when it was my fault you were shot." It wasn't his fault!
"Lex-" I tried but he cut me off.
"No Chloe let me finish." He got up and got me some water, I drank it all, I was thirsty. "I know who shot you," he said. I shot him a look. Why didn't he tell me? "My father ordered you shot because he realized I was starting to fall for you. He thought you would betray me, he said he was trying to protect me. I don't believe him, but I can't figure out why he would do that. I have to stay away from you. If I get close to you, you'll only end up getting hurt again. Besides, I know you could never love me." That was not true!
"Lex," I tried, standing up and walking towards him. But I stopped, my legs felt weak. "What's going on? I'm so tired Lex. What...what did you do?" I fell but he caught me, I knew this feeling, it was like when they sedated me in the hospital. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Just rest Chloe, everything will be fine." His voice was so soothing, I wanted nothing more that to give into him.
"I'm so sleepy...I can't concentrate...what's going on? My...my water...what did you do to it?" I struggled with words, I realized that he must have drugged me, "Why Lex...why?"
"Just rest Chloe, sleep." I fought his voice, fought the drug, I had to let him know.
"No Lex, I don't want to sleep." My eyes closed of their own accord and I forced them open with every last bit of strength that I had. "Wait Lex, there's something you need to know. I...I..." I love you, the words died in my throat, the drug taking full effect.
"Just rest Chloe, relax, everything will be fine, just relax, go to sleep." Oh that voice. His voice was like velvet. I leaned into him, putting my head on his warm chest. His voice was so soothing, hypnotic. I gave in, I let go of the world, I trusted Lex. His voice was soft and mesmerizing, I could trust that voice, I could trust him.
I woke up and my first thought was oh my God. Lex had drugged me. I had trusted him and this is where it got me. I got up and went to his den, looking through his CDs. I had gotten this one for him, I knew he still had it. I set up a little surprise for him and then I ran to my car. That little bit of revenge wasn't nearly enough. I turned on Kelly Clarkson, full blast. I needed to heal.
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong
He made me strong. I felt so safe in his arms.
Now I can't breathe
No I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Barely hanging on. The tears started to fall as I sped towards Metropolis.
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it
Can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Again, he leaves me broken. It just so happened that I had hazel eyes. One of the reasons I loved this song. He would never get to see me cry again.
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright for once in my life
Yeah, you used to make me feel that way.
Now All that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together but so broken up inside
All that's left is what I pretend to be, I pretend to have everything together, when I just feel like staying home and crying.
Cause I can't sleep
No I can't breathe
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it
Can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I hate you Lex.
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Just seeing you it kills me now
No I don't cry
On the outside anymore, anymore
Yeah, anymore. I swallowed my tears and sang out the words at the top of my lungs. I was alone on a country road, who was gonna hear me? I was angry now. I promised myself I would never cry again. At least on the outside.
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it
Can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I could see Metropolis in the distance. You will never see me again Lex. Good-bye, good-bye forever Lex.
The End
Haha suckers! I hate happy endings so I gave you a bad ending! Oh don't kill me I'm just kidding, aren't I evil? I'm working on the sequel which will be posted under the name Broken Hearts. So review and I'll post that new story! Otherwise you'll have to suffer and wait! (laughing evilly)
