'I did this to Lana? How! Oh god, Chloe..' As he heard Lana calm down, he slipped infront of the door and knocked gently. Laura got off her knees and ran to the door, finding a concerned Clark at the door.

"Sorry to bother you again, Mrs. Lang.. I just..I came to see how Lana was doing, I'm just kinda scared. I've never seen her sick or hurt before. So I brought over some chicken soup." Clark's eyes were etched with horrible pain as he emphaised the 'hurt'. Laura continued to block the door, not allowing Clark to see Lana on the floor silently crying her heart out.

"I see. It's alright hunny but I believe Lana is sle-" Just as Laura was about to finish her sentence, Lana pushed her way through the door and jumped into Clark's arms, crying into his chiseled chest. She wrapped her arms perfectly around his back and refused to let go. He stroked her soft raven hair and kissed her forehead.

"Hey its ok, whats wrong.. Don't cry, if you cry I'll cry.. Com'on..Shh" Clark placed down the chicken noodle soup and engulfed Lana in a deeper embrace, stroking her hair and whispering to her every so often. Mrs. Lang had left them as Lana ran out the door, but she peered out the window watching Lana calm down against his chest.

"How could a boy like him could hurt her so much.. I dont understand this, Lewis." Laura turned to her husband who was reading the paper on the sofa.

"Maybe it wasn't him. Maybe Lana heard or saw something that broke her heart. They were getting close I've heard.." Lewis said, looking over the top of his paper.

"They're both so stubborn and thickheaded to look whats in front of them. Anyone could see the love that seeps through both of their eyes.." Mrs. Lang said, putting her hand over her eyes.

"I know, hunny. I know. One day, on their own, they'll realize." Mr. Lang said, smiling.

After about 25 minutes, Clark had stopped her crying and she just sat their in his arms, being cradled like a little child. She smiled slightly against his chest, smelling the essence of him.. ' I dont understand how he does it, its like he sees straight through me and finds my weakpoint.. And just .. Captures my heart with a single blow.' Lana tried to understand what she was feeling. Pain, misery.. love? Her mother had made a point in the kitchen earlier. Her heart was aching, but how could it ache anymore after it was blown to a million pieces? She didn't have a crush on Clark, no, it was so much more than that. It was love, nothing could ever change it either. It was lifelonging, eternal, noone will ever take her heart as he did. From his seablue eyes to his amazing build.. Nothing was wrong with Clark Kent.

"I dont deserve this" she said so silently that she barely heard it. To her surprise, Clark picked her up from his chest and looked into her emerald eyes, looking for an explaination. All he found was heart ache and more of it spread for miles.

"Deserve what?" Clark said, eyes continuing to search through her soul.

"You" She said forcing her eyes away from his gaze. She began to shake a little bit, but a second later Clark tilted her head up towards his and looked into her eyes once more.

"You deserve me more than anyone else in this world. I just don't deserve you." Clark admitted, trying to hide the pain from the truth behind it all.

"Clark.." Lana whispered, still shocked from his revealation. She didn't know why, but she felt her face tugging its way towards his face. Clark too moved in, it was like an unexplainable pull, forcing them together. She closed her eyes, scared shitless of what would happen.

10 minutes earlier...

Alicia and Whitney were sitting in the Talon laughing hysterically about the whole relationship and oblviousness of Clark and Lana. Both wanted Lana to be happy and be with Clark, and if she would just open her eyes and notice how he looks at her with that special spark in his eyes, maybe, just maybe she'd see it. Ah, no she wouldn't.

"No, its so funny, Whit. Yesterday, Lana was dancing to Lifehouse right? So Clark walks in talkin to me and when he sees her twirling around hes like mesmorized at her keen sence of dancing and trips over air. She notices him, stops like a deer in headlights, and gets smashed to the floor with him. For a minute they just sat there staring into eachothers eyes, and inch away from eachothers lips! She should've moved in." Alicia crosses her arms, she'd been dropping bread crums to both Captain Oblvious and Princess Pity, neither pick up. She'd meantion certian features of themselves, they'd scratch their heads and say "Damn, whoever this guy/chick is.. Alicia hand me my rifle and we'll go huntin, k?" Then flash a heart melting smile. Of course, Lana as of late is going after Almighty PomPom queen Chloe Sulivan.. cough BITCH!

"Wow, and I missed that.. Do you remember the time at the supermarket when we stopped to get something for our late night movie marathons? Lana saw Clark walking in with Pete and as she was pushing the cart she rammed into the pillar. Now that was great." Whitney laughed and smacked his leg. Alicia just chuckled. 'That was pretty funny site..'. Those everlasting stares, she'd never seen anything like it. It was like they were soulmates, they were inevitable. As they continued to reminse about the two lovers, Chloe stomped in the Talon walking up to a bunch of her cheerleader friends. Alicia immeidately stopped talking and signalled to Whitney to "Shut da hell up fool or I'll kick your ass later and look to your left'

"Oh my fuckin god. Lana Lang is a complete hoebag slut! I JUST saw her clinging to MY boyfriend for dearlife. That girl is seriously asking for it. Ladies its time to plan up something" Chloe said with a devious glint in her eye.

"Like what?" Lois asked, one of the cheerleaders also Chloe's cousin.

"Let's go to her house and do something.. Firecrackers, rocks, spray paint, eggs.. Tip over a cow or two? I dun know but it'll be a hell of a time." Chloe smirked, feeling a sence of victory climb up her spine. "Right then, let's go and deal with this hoe once and for all." Chloe finished applying more cover up and lip stick on her cuts and bruises from Lana and walked out with Lois and the gang. Alicia turned around wide eyed as did Whitney, this was going to be one hell of a night.

Back on the porch, Lana and Clark and very slowly inching towards eachother's lips. 'This is it, this is when I finally show her that I'm better than any of her stupid 13 year old crush. Lana, I love you more than life itself, but I'm too scared to tell ya, sound familar?' Clark thought to himself, he felt his lips brush against hers.

"CLARK, LANA, RUN!" Alicia came running from the bushes as a cherry bomb flew in their direction. Clark looked up and saw the incoming threat, Lana opened her eyes in shock about to scream. Clark picked her up and ran as fast as he could to the other side of the farm. As he slid behind the house, ten seconds later it exploded. Fire crackers poured into the yard, Mrs.Lang and Mr. Lang yelling for Lana and Clark. Lana looked up from Clark's hold and X-rayed the area for the cause of this. From the loft, fire crackers and other numerous things were being skyrocketed from huge elastic band towards Lana and Clark.

"Clark, the loft! It's Chloe and Lois!" Lana said covering her ears from the huge snaps and crackles of all of the explosives. Clark looked at her strangely and nodded.

"Get under something or hide, please. Don't get hurt, I don't know what I'd do without you." With that, he kissed her on the cheek and ran towards the loft. Lana forming a dark mahogony touched her cheek and savored it. She looked at him for another second, before running off looking for her parents and Alicia.

"I love you."

Clark dodged all of the random crackling and began up the stairs to Lana's Fortress of Solitude. 'I swear to god, those girls are seriously gonna get it.. If Lana has a mere scratch on her..' Clark was trembling with anger, his face red, teeth clenched, fists of fury, and not to meantion a heart begging to be loved. As he reached the top of the loft, he found the other cheerleaders ripping up stuff and reading it outloud. Deciding to sit back and listen for a minute, he began hearing them talk about the numerous things while Lois and Chloe threw the firecrackers around like a rag dolls.

"Ohhh! Look at this Jamie!" One cheerleader squealed.

"What Kris!" The other asked curiously

"A journal!" She said, pouncing up and down. "April 5th, 2005 - Clark and I went Go-Karting today.. It was amazing. He ceases to make my heart melt, that smile, those eyes.. What else could I want? Clark Kent, Love of my life since I was 4, unfortunately will never capture my heart. Chloe Sulivan already is doing a good job of that. Right when I thought I couldn't ask for anything else, I do. Once again, journal. I will ask for the only thing I ever ask for on a birthday. Clark Kent's heart... AWWWWW HOW CUTE! BURN!" Kris motioned Jamie over as they took a fire cracker lit it and hid behind the couch. BOOM! The little notebook was blown to smitherines.

Clark sat there, dumbfounded. Unable to move, nothing would work. His eyes laid fixed on the little remains of the journal. 'Clark Kent.. Love of my life.. since I was 5?' The words were like a broken record in his head, continuing to play over and over. Smashing into his heart, telling him to listen to the next item on their list or go and run off with Lana.. 'Hmm, lets wait another minute, throw them out, get them arrested, then take Lana away! MWAHHAHAH!' Clark's evil half said, making him grin from behind the railing of the stairs a bit.

"Hey look at this Kris!" The obnoxious bitch yelled over the continuous booms, " A LETTER!..guess to who!" Kris pretended to look stupid (not that she needed to)

"Uhh, Clark?" She said like a kindergartener.

"Like oh my god, yeah!" They looked up in the ceilings and did sighed like they were in love, then broke out in manical laughter.

To Clark, the only one for me.

You know Clark, for awhile now I've been thinking. What if I never got pushed by Chloe that day, or your mom didn't bake those pies. Would you still be here, making me fall in love with you even more by the second? I hope so, because now more than ever I need you. You're my knight in shining armor, the one who holds me when I cry, who listens to my problems and annoyances, the one who I wish I could call mine. I know what you're thinking, I'm a hopeless romantic who will never get you, whos not pretty enough, whos not athletic or smart enough for you.. I only can dream that I am until maybe, just maybe that one day you'll sweep me off my feet and bring me home. My heart is our home, where you will always be. I know you'll always be here, I just hope one day I will too. So listen to my heart, Clark, it's burning so bad. I just need you so much.. I love you so much..

LL

"Awwwwwwwwwwwww, more sweetness! We should keep this one.." Jamie said rolling her eyes "Not!" This time Clark sprang into action, that letter must be saved!. He grabbed it out of their hands and pushed them onto the couch. Chloe stopped her manical laughter over Lana's long lost love on Clark and noticed that he standing over them with a look that could kill. Chloe nervously laughed and tried to sneak away, but Clark grabbed her and pushed her onto the couch along with Jamie, Kris, and Lois. Clark's heart was aching, he never knew that he was the crush that Alicia always spoke about. As soon as he dealt with these jackasses, he was going to set a new plan in motion.

"Chloe, what the HELL are you doing!" Clark said finally exploding on the group..

"That little skank hit me at school today! And look shes obsessed with you!" Chloe screamed pointing to the paper in Clark's hand. He grinned and folded the paper half then slipped it into his jacket.

"And I'm obsessed with her" He stated a matter of factly. Chloe must've changed from White, to pale, paler.. wait Houston, we have a problem, Mayday, REEEWEE.. Houston, gasleak, we're gonna.. BOOM! Her face turned into a dark red, she was pissed beyond belief.

"YOU LITTLE FUCKIN PRICK! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE! YOU TRATIOR, YOU SHITHEAD.. you you! ACCK!" Chloe kicked at him and slapped and scratched but Clark just stood tall waiting for the police to come.

Lana jumped over the pot holes and burning areas across the farm, making her way to her horror struck parents and Alicia.. 'He wouldn't know what he'd do without me.. thats so sweet.. Clark, what would I do without you? .. As if I could get hurt anyway' Lana snickered, too bad she couldn't get a scratch so he'd flip and chase Chloe around... Wait, what would happen if Clark got over powered or knocked out by the girls.. what if they hurt him. Oh, shit. She hit a rock in the road, they can hurt Clark.. Oh god Clark, dont get blown up just yet! Lana sped up her sprint and got to her parents. The fireworks suddenly stopped, and Lana heard a shreik of anger from the loft. 'Oh god..' Mrs. Lang rushed up to Lana, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh Lana! You're ok! Thank god," Obviously mom, I am an Alien from Krypton, remember? You know fire shooting eyes, super strong, fast, hearing, invurnablity and xray good front for Alicia though "Where's Clark?" For a split second her heart stopped, she needed to go help him even if he wasn't in time of need..

"I..um..He went up to loft to stop the girls from throwing fireworks at us.." Lana said turning her back to her parents. "I'll be back!" Her parent's began to protest, but she sped off towards the barn.

"You go get him, girl!" Alicia screamed into the darkness with a grin on her face. 'Maybe its their time.' She thought to herself.

As Lana ran up the stairs, her heart was skipping a mile a minute. She didnt know what would show when she reached the top. To her surprise, a red Chloe, spurring with anger was shouting at Clark with all of her little lungs might. Clark had a surprised yet slight smile on his face.

-.. shes obsessed with you!" Chloe screamed, her face redding by the second. As she said that, an instant grin was lit on Clark's face, he looked down to the paper and shoved it into his coat. 'OH SHIT, thats the letter isn't it.. oh my god oh my god! okay lana pretend your invisible and dont even meantion it later! Pretend you dont know anything!'

"And I'm obsessed with her." Clark replied the grin still shining through the darkness. Chloe just exploded and began pounding against his chest. Lana fell backwards, she couldnt hear, she couldnt feel. The words continued to ring into her head. 'Did Clark.. just say he liked me? No, no.. He said he was obsessed with me.. WHOA, STOP, HALT! Am I stuck in some alternate universe! Yes, Lana just lay your little head down and wait to be awoken from this!' More yelling came from the top of the loft.

"Clark! You're with me and yet you like someone else! You're a prick, a complete fuckin prick you know that?" Chloe screamed, Clark just continued to grin.

"Like someone? Screw that, I LOVE HER." Clark yelled. Lana's eyes began tearing joy. 'Did Clark Kent just say he loved me?' "... And I'll shout it to the WHOLE world! I LOVE LANA LANG WITH EVERY LAST OUNCE OF MY HEART!" He raised his hands up in joy as if he had been waiting to get that out for the longest time. "And for your information, Chloe, the only reason I was going back out with you was to get back at you. But don't worry, all will be right soon." Clark was overjoyed. 'Yes Lana, he said it! He loves you, oh my god, best day ever. Now to bring a little game into motion called Cat and Mouse. Don't start dancing yet, k Lang?' Lana smiled to herself and pretended to be just running up the stairs.

"Clark you piece of shit!" Chloe screamed once more, lost for words.

"Shut it, hoe!" Lana ran over and slammed Chloe to the couch with her shoulder. "Now, Chloe, why the fuck are you here!" Profanity? In Lang Langs mouth, am I hearing right?

"Lana its ok, I have all the information needed. Don't worry the cops are coming." Clark smirked, obviousness of knowing something running through his eyes. 'Damn straight and so do I, dont worry Clarkie my boy, we'll have fun later on..'

"Alright, they're lucky my dad isn't shooting them at the moment. Chloe, you'll be paying for all the damages on this farm as well as some juvie time, you know that right?" Lana laughed in her face. Chloe just spat.

"The day I pay for any hick is the day I die." Chloe said with a devious glint screaming in her eye. Lana just arched her eyebrow and continued to laugh. Clark just joined in smirking at the site of the woman he loved.
