They both stopped and were now at a secluded garden area with a bench. Lana sat, but Chloe remained standing with her arms crossed. Lana was still at awe at what Chloe said.
"Look, Lana…I'm sorry I didn't mean it." Chloe managed to say, her face softening and arms falling to her sides.
"No, you meant it..." She opened her mouth to talk again. "…And its true." Lana whispered."When I came back from Paris, I was different. I had this new life and I didn't have room for you guys anymore, and for that I am sorry. It felt nice. It was nice to live my life, without worrying about all the angst there was between us." Lana looked down afraid of Chloe's reaction.
"Lana, we still talked this year. Its not like we ever stopped being friends." Chloe said, guilt stricken.
Lana responded to this my smiling and saying "You're right, the only one I even completely cut off was…Clark."
Lana's smile faded as realization came over her. She ran into the hospital not wanting to deal with Chloe, who would do nothing but make her feel guiltier.
Lana ran until she reached the waiting room. She sat next to the Mr. and Mrs. Kent who were talking to Dr. Bryce. Lana moved her chair so that she was part of the conversation.
"So basically we took out the bullets and his body responded well to the anti-biotic and pain medication I gave him. He woke up about an hour ago, so you can go see him." Dr. Bryce concluded.
Martha and Jonathan looked at each other, ecstatic, and got up to go to his room. Jonathan turned around and said "Lana, you coming?"
Lana smiled and walked with him to Clark's room.
Meanwhile at the Luthor Mansion
"So you are saying that this 'young man' does farm chores and goes to school. How amazing!" Dr. Attera said sarcastically.
"I don't appreciate your mockery, doctor." Lex remarked.
"Well I don't appreciate hog wash, Lex. If you can some how prove to me that this boy is an extraterrestrial, and give me evidence claiming so, rather than papers and a cave, then I would be more than happy to exploit, research, and basically destroy his life." Dr. Attera said with a chuckle.
"How is he for proof." Lex said, confidently.
"Getting his dead body from the morgue is nearly impossible Lex. I used to work in one, the security can be uptight."
"Look doctor, My plan is finally coming together. I will have so much power, once everyone sees what a freak he is. I will not let anyone or anything get in the way of that, you got it?" Lex said, a bit too aggressive. "And besides" he continued "You wouldn't want to suddenly stop getting those high-priced pay checks in the mail, would you?"
"You know I could pull some strings and find out about him for you." Dr. Attera said, suddenly threatened at what could possibly happen to him.
"Sounds great. Now you can show yourself to the door can't you?"
As soon as he left Lex ran to his garage and into his Ferrari, where he planned to "surprise Lana"
Please give me some good reviews! Otherwise i will never finish this story and it will be a lost cause. Oh and A/N lex doesnt know Clark survived.
