Lex sat brooding in the same spot he had held for days.
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
Lex had a past; he would never say it to your face though. He used and abused…everything. He had had his share of stupid stunts, and if it hadn't been for Phelan he would have been in such huge trouble. As if he wasn't in trouble as it was.
It was Monday, so he figured he wouldn't see Clark until well into the afternoon. He was still hungry, but did not mind as much now. That's the thing about fasting, after two days you feel as if you just don't need food anymore. At least, that is what he told himself. His stomach growled a rebuttal.
Julian had calmed down a few minutes ago.
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
o-o-o-o
After school, Clark rushed to mansion. He thrust a packet of papers upon Lionel's desk. "Uh, sir, look, here are possible places Chloe and I found that maybe here ya know Lex is."
Lionel nodded in and began to flip through the papers. "Uh sir," Clark began tentatively, "Are you sure he wasn't kidnapped?"
"Mr. Kent, if my son was kidnapped, wouldn't there be some note? Now, if you'll excuse me…"
"Of course," Clark said this with a slight smirk. He sped off, there were certain things he needed to take care of.
o-o-o-o-o
"Hey, Lex are you tonight? I had an absolutely wonderful dinner to night, absolutely delicious."
Lex began to drool, he shook his head for a moment. "Clark," He began calmly, "what is you want with me?"
"I dunno… what do you want with me," the farm boy said sheepishly. "Well anyway, Lex, I can't wait to show you the headlines tomorrow. I think your luck just ran out."
Clark turned his back to go when he heard Lex whisper, "You bastard," under his breath. He spun around with a mini taser gun in his hand.
"Come again Luthor?"
Lex's eye glimmered with a hint of fear. "Exactly," Clark smugly said and left.
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
o-o-o-o-o
Class was a buzz with the morning's headlines in Calculus.
"Can you really believe it?"
"I know! The corpse was barely recognized it was so burned!"
"But they were sure it was him?"
"Oh yeah. Parties are celebrating everywhere."
Clark listened to all of this in good humor.
o-o-o-o-o
"What's this?" Lex asked peering at the news paper headlines. It was again after dinner.
"Apparently, you're dead. The body was found this morning. Burned beyond recognition, sadly. This means your safety means nothing as of," Clark looked at his watch, "Now."
"Ah, hell no." Lex's eye began to twitch with dread. Clark circled around to the back of Lex and bent over to look at the hand cuffs. Lex was expecting something horrible, not the click of them unlatching. Rubbing his wrists, he looked up at Clark curiously.
"Are you hungry?" Clark pulled out a plate of warm food for Lex, along with plastic silverware. It was a steak … with sautéed mushrooms. (Insert subtle hint here)
"So," in between bites Lex talked, "you going to tell me what's going on or what?"
"Well, I hate you to begin with. And I'm sure a lot of people agree with me. Including you. I bet you hate yourself."
Lex paused eating for a moment.
"That's right. I know how many people's lives you've ruined. Or at least some of the list, I bet you know more than any computer I searched on."
Lex guled.
"No one could touch a finger to you, and if they tried…to bad for them right? Well Lex, I am going make sure they have there revenge at your downfall." Clark looked at Lex's plate. Lex looked down on it to. He had already eaten just about everything; only one or two bites were left.
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
The room began to swim in front of Lex., and the last words he remembered Clark saying was, "ever heard of magic mushrooms baldie?"
Everything turned a different color and his headache was enormous.
As Lex passed out Clark re-cuffed him, and burned the food into ash. If only he knew what else was in there.. Boy, is he can feel like a POS in a few hours.
Forget about the dirty looks
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed
Clark left, he super speed to the barn to plot the next move. Also he still had homework.
I'm okay
I'm okay!
o-o-o-o-o-o
It was know Friday. There had been enough stuff in the plate to keep Lex very distracted without him being there. When he had checked on him on Tuesday there was of a pile of barf next Lex.
Clark stood in the back of the funeral. He thought is funny that they were morning someone not dead. But then again they were all planning parties to celebrate his death at the same time. For kicks, he projected his voice and changed it slightly as Lionel got up there to speak.
"FOOLS! You think I will ever rest in peace? I shall take my vengeance!"
And quickly, before anyone guess he sped away to Lex's mansion.
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
o-o-o-o-o
Clark for the second time in a week undid Lex's handcuffs. "I'm not hungry," Lex spat.
"No I'm sure you're not, but due to that spot I guess you're sitting in, I'm sure your clothes are some what soiled." Clark said with smugness tossing Lex a fresh pair of clothes.
"Where's my shirt?"
"You need a shirt? Whoops."
o-o-o-o
Chloe was the morgue checking out the body. Something was suspicious here. Then she gaspes as...
o-o-o-o
Clark left for five minutes to let Lex change but quickly came back with a loaded gun. Lex stood there stretching, but paused when he saw the gun. Clark pointed it at Lex and said, "If you believe what you do is holy work then this will make you holy… "
Three shots were fired.
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
