Chloe ran out of the cafeteria and out into the hall. She turned to the
left and then to the right looking for Whitney. She spotted the back of a
Smallville letterman jacket turn around the corner. She quickly ran in the
direction after him. She made it around the corner and looked around the
empty lobby of the high school. She heard the door to the side close shut
and she quickly ran through it.
"Hey Whitney! Hold up!" She cried out to him as she spotted him walking to the top of the bleachers in the football field. If he had heard her he didn't show it. He sat down on the bleachers and stared out at the football field where the track team was currently running.
Chloe slowly walked up the bleachers and to his side. She sat down and sighed. Whitney quickly glanced in her direction but turned back to stare straight ahead.
"So, how are you holding up?" Chloe questioned softly. Whitney shrugged and closed his eyes tightly.
"Yeah, you and me both. Look, I'm sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to blow you off like I did." Whitney cracked a smile at this and for the first time since they had come outside he stared into her eyes.
"Yes you did." He said smiling. Chloe smiled back and softly laughed.
"Yeah, I guess I did. I'm sorry though." He nodded and sat up straighter while placing his hands inside the pockets of his jacket.
"Don't worry about it. I really didn't want to talk either." They sat in an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes. Whitney coughed and awkwardly stared at Chloe.
"Yeah, so, seriously, this whole thing with Clark and Lana really sucks huh?" Chloe muttered out with a sarcastic smirk on her face. Whitney nodded at her and gave her a matching expression.
"Yeah, well, at least you didn't get dumped." Chloe frowned at the statement and nodded.
"Yeah, well, at least Lana cared about you. Clark didn't even realize I was there. He was too busy pining after Miss Perfect." Chloe muttered out. Whitney ignored the comment about Lana and stared straight into her eyes. He saw the pain radiating out for the world to see. For the first time he realized the pain that Chloe had to go through for so many years.
"I'm sorry." Whitney whispered. She nodded her head in thanks.
"I'm sorry about Lana." She whispered. He smiled at her and after a few seconds she smiled back.
"Well, aren't we a pair?" He questioned laughing. She laughed and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, pretty sad. The both of us are pining over the two of them. You know what the weird thing is?"
"What?" He questioned.
"I think that Clark and Lana are meant to be together. I know I'm sad. But, after all these years it was just a crush for me. I'm happy that Clark is happy. It just hurts you know?" She turned to him with question in her eyes and he understood exactly what she was talking about.
"Yeah. I'm glad Lana is happy. But, after all of the years that we've been together, I really did think that it wouldn't end." She placed her hand on his arm but pulled it back quickly. After a few minutes of silence Chloe grabbed up her bag and stared at him with a slight smile on her face.
"It's funny that after all these years of fighting, this conversation with you has really helped me." She whispered.
"Me too. Thanks Chloe."
"Your welcome. And thank you also." She smiled at him but it turned into a look of curiosity as he stood and held his hand out to her.
"What?" She questioned. He laughed and grabbed her hand.
"Come on. I know you didn't drive here because I had the pleasure of doing that. So, you can ride with me. How about we go get some coffee?" He questioned. She smiled and nodded.
"Sure. Let's go." They walked down the bleachers with Whitney guiding her down the steep steps. He squeezed her hand and she shivered. She didn't know what to think of the odd feeling that she had gotten from holding his hand. It was comforting and she somehow felt secure and safe with his hand wrapped around hers.
A/N: There you go guys, Chloe/Whitney interaction. I promise there will be a lot more of that in the future. Clark, Lana, Pete, and Lex will be in the story soon! I promise! Thanks for all of the great reviews! I really appreciate them!
