Chloe was holding out her hand waiting for Clark to give her the ring, she was getting impatient and started to tap her foot on the hard floor so it echoed through out the apartment. Clark was shocked at her last request, he knew that if he gave her the ring he would no longer be Kal and he would probably end up going home sooner, but if he submitted to Chloe's other option he had to go home. He just couldn't face the people at home, they didn't know it but he had been paying them visits when he got really low and down. His parents had almost caught him once but he super sped away. He was really stuck between a rock and a hard place and Chloe knew she had him there. Clark finally spoke, "Chloe I can't give you this ring and I…"
"Oh goody then you are coming home with me, I knew you would come around sooner or later Clark." She grabbed his hand and started to lead him out of the apartment with her. Chloe knowing that the ring had red meteor rock in it and made him act unlike himself knew that if he took it off he would realize he needed to come home. So she knew that either way he was coming home with her, she didn't care how she got it done just as long as she got him home. She could feel Clark resisting her pulling and she was getting angry.
"Chloe listen to me, I can't give you the ring and I am not going home with you. I am staying here ok, just get over it. I know you want to be the big hero and bring me home and make everything ok, but you can't. Nothing will ever be ok ever again, I have screwed to many things up, here I can be a different person and not feel bad for things I do. I like that feeling, so I am sorry just leave ok, you are making this really hard for the both of us. I knew I shouldn't have come up to you tonight but I missed you Chlo and I just wanted to be around you tonight. It was a mistake and I am sorry for getting your hopes up of maybe getting me to come home. I believe you know where the door is, you can let yourself out, bye Chloe."
Chloe couldn't believe what Clark was saying, it was only increasing her anger with him. "Clark, me being the hero has nothing to do with this, yes I want to bring you home, but that is because people back home are worried sick about you. You are killing the people that love you most Clark, can you live with that? Huh does that not bother you that only three hours away there are people crying and frantically praying for the day you return? If you can live with yourself knowing that then maybe you better stay here because we don't need anyone that shallow and mean back in Smallville. I do know where the door is so I think I will leave this time, but forget me not telling your parents where you are, they deserve to know. Bye Clark, have a nice and meaningless life." She stormed out the door and slammed it shut. She was so angry with Clark right now that she couldn't even see straight because of the tears. She just leaned against the railing and finally made it down to a sitting position and let the tears fall. She was freezing, she had left her jacket inside and she wasn't going to go and get it so she decided to just freeze. Eventually she would get up and go back to the club and see if her friends were still there, or she would just go straight home. Then it dawned on her, she didn't know her way back home. She hadn't really watched how they had gotten here and she had never been to this part of the city before so she was lost. "Great I am lost and the only person who could help me is inside that apartment trying to erase me." Chloe muttered to herself. She then started to cry again because she didn't want Clark to erase her.
Clark thought he could hear crying, he looked around and saw Chloe sitting on his balcony and crying. That really tore at his heart, he hated to see her cry, she was always so strong so when she cried something had really hurt her. Which it meant he had been the one to hurt her. He saw she had no jacket on, he looked around and saw it sitting on the sofa. He thought long and hard and decided that he would bring her coat out to her because he knew she was far to stubborn to come in and get it. He picked it up and walked over to the door and slowly opened it. He walked over to her and placed the coat around her shoulders, "Here Chloe you forgot your jacket and it's freezing out you'll need it." He had meant to remove his hands from around her but he couldn't she was just so sad looking and he wanted nothing more than to comfort her.
Chloe had heard Clark open the door and come out, she then felt him put her coat around her. She felt warmer instantly and loved Clark for being so kind when they had just had a major blow out. She still felt his arms around her and they were starting to rub up and down her arms to warm her up. She smiled at the gesture but didn't let him see that. She had an idea but she needed him to keep rubbing her arms for it to work. She waited a minute and he didn't remove his hands so she went in for the kill, she moved her hand to cover his right hand, the hand he wore the ring on, she squeezed his hand then looked up at him.
Clark felt Chloe move her hand over his and look up at him. He didn't know what to do, he saw all her hurt and pain in her eyes. They didn't light up like they used to when she looked at him. He did nothing but stare back at her. Then he felt her squeeze his hand, he smiled at her to let her know he forgave her.
Chloe had gotten the smile she had wanted, she wanted to know he forgave her before she went ahead with her plan. She smiled back at him and bowed her head again, she then closed her fingers around the ring on his finger and yanked hard. The ring came off surprisingly easy, Chloe squeezed her hand shut so he couldn't try and pry it from her hands. She stood up and moved away from him, "I am sorry Clark but I had no choice now come home with me."
x-So I finally had to make Chloe leave after they had been talking about her leaving for some time now. But I knew that Chloe couldn't handle all this from Clark so I let her break down and cry I thought her forgettting her jacket gave Clark an excuse to apologize to her for his actions. I know this is kinda ooc for Kal but I am trying to insinuate that love over rules red K feelings sometimes. And I knew Chloe wouldn't sit back and let Clark just walk out of her life like Lana so she took action and got that ring for herself. Well hope you enjoy and keep reviews coming, I love them!
