This is a moment I would remember forever. I didn't realize it then but it happened. Tonight I fell in love with my best friend, Chloe Sullivan. Her cheeks. Her rosy cheeks glittered of the lame flicker about the room. Her eyes had never seemed so blue. "So Chloe, what would you like to drink?"

She couldn't answer, staring at the extravagance Lex had put together. Sliding her fingers along the table cloths edge, she realized I had spoken to her "Sorry what's that?"

"What would you like to drink?" a quiver of a chuckle escaped my lips.

"Oh….water will be fine"

Dad was right, this really did make up for a lot. I cant believe I ran out on this girl. She was stunning. "So Chloe what do you think?"

"Clark I cant believe you did this….I mean I figure Lex had this all put together, but for you to want to do this for me….thank you" I've never seen her happier.

"Well I'm just glad to see you finally cheering up."

"So, um….what options do we have for dinner?" I could tell she was masquerading her true questions.

"Anything you want actually"

"Is that so? Well lets put Lex's words to the test."

"Excuse me" she ushered the waiter over.

"Yes?"

"Can I have anything I want?"

"Of course you can miss"

"Then I'll have a cheeseburger"

"Are you sure that's all you want?" I thought she would've gone for something a bit more exotic.

"Yeah I'm sure."

"Make that two cheeseburgers then" Off he went, shrugging his shoulders.

"So, is the Torch planning anything special for the end of the year?"

"Not really, I put together a quick little look back, but so much has happened that I figured I'd leave it to everyone else to make their own thoughts for the year."

"That sounds like a good idea, best not flare anyone up."

"Yeah ,especially since the tornadoes were so recent."

"Yeah…." I cant lie. I might have been deterring from Lana but she's dead. It hurts.

Chloe's sparkle was fading, "Thinking about Lana?"

"Chlo, Lana's dead and it hurts to think about it.", Maybe? "It's my fault she's dead anyway?"

That peaked her attention, "What do you mean?"

"Chloe, I want to tell you something, but you have to promise me one thing"

He's actually opening up to me. Will Clark Kent's mystery end tonight? "Anything Clark."

Taking in one last breath of secrecy, "I'm about to give you the story of the century Chloe, and I have to trust you'll never tell a single soul in your life…."

"Mr. Luthor, we're very late sir, we have to leave now"

"Yes I'm coming" the rotors were starting to pick up on the far side of the mansion.

"Hold on one second pilot." I slid my way to the side door of my living room.

"It's my fault she's dead anyway?" What? What the hell is Clark talking about?

"I'm about to give you the story of the century Chloe, and I have to trust you'll never tell a single soul in your life…." Clark….? Oh my god, Clark.

I never even felt it, but the smirk bore its way upon my lips and never left during the entire trip to Metropolis. "Clark Kent….Chloe Sullivan….and Lex Luthor, the three advocates of the greatest story ever" God will come to tremble at my name.

"Clark…." Oh no, could I have scared her away.

"Please don't' be scared Chlo, I don't want to push you away"

"Clark, you haven't pushed me away, you trusted me with your greatest secret. Its just a little shocking. All this time….all this time, this was going on and you didn't let anyone in?"

"No, you're the first person I've ever told." I still can't tell if she's a hundred percent on this." I mean of course my parents know but…." She flashed her signature smile and I knew it was all going to work out.

We took a walk around the Luthor's lake to get some fresh air. Well it was mostly for Chloe to get some air, but the breeze felt nice.

"So Mr. Super Duper, what exactly can you do?"

"Well…." Picking up a stick I threw it as hard as I could to the other side of the lake. "Pay attention." I showered the night with water drops, my feet propelling me through the surface of the lake and back. She grabbed the stick out of my hand in shock.

"Holy shit Clark, you're amazing."

"Heh, yeah well, I have other abilities but we can save those for another windy night."

"Yeah it is getting late" We strolled back to the truck and off we went to my peaceful home.

She was out by the time we got back. Taking her to my bed, I laid her down amidst the pillows. I held onto her hand for a few moments and then started to get up.

"Thanks for tonight Clark, It was wonderful"

"No problem Chlo, now get back to sleep"
