- The Real Me –
All Lana could do was let out a gasp and clasp her hand over her mouth. She knew she could only expect the worst from this conversation, but she also knew that this has always been what she wanted to hear from Clark – And she had no clue which way she should react.
" Lana please, just listen to everything first… I'm from a planet called Krypton. And I came to earth – the day of the meteor shower.
"Oh my fight." Lana immediately began crying, and put her face in her hands. Automatically bringing the thoughts of her parent's death to mind.
"Why do you wait to tell me this 3 days before my wedding? Something that will change my life forever."
All Clark can do is sigh, and put his head down. Only to lift it a few seconds later and say, "Because I can't spend the rest of my life knowing that you're with someone else. When you don't even know the real me."
Lana wiped her tears from her eyes, and fought to catch her breath, " So you came to earth the same day that my parents were taken away from it?"
Seeing that she was still in tears, Clark reached over and brushed Lana's hair away so he could see her face. He lifted himself off of the couch and knelt down in front of her. With his words sincere and promising, he managed to find the right words for her. " Lana, if I could take back everything from that day, I would. But I could never take away my love for you."
Lana was beginning to be annoyed by how sorry he was. If he truly loved her, than he should have told her this years ago.
" Clark, I'm getting married. Why are you telling me this?"
Still sincere with his words, Clark stayed on his knees, " Because Lana, I want you to walk down that isle and take my last name, not Jason's."
" And you think that telling me this will make me leave my fiancé and jump into your arms?" She was now angered by all that he was telling her. But at the same time, she knew he was right. Every feeling that he was revealing to her, had once crossed her mind also… About him.
Clark was drawn back by the tone of Lana's comment. And now he was thinking that maybe she was the one who was right. Maybe he was putting al of this on her to quickly.
" Lana, I would never ask that of you. But I want you to be sure that when you take that walk, you want Jason to be at the other end, OK? And I've realized that me keeping secrets is not worth losing you over. And I really don't know if I can goon without having you in my life."
POV- Lana-" It all makes sense now, he really does want me to be with him. Oh my god, how could I have been so stupid? But I can do that to Jason, can I?"
-Reality-
" So you're telling me that you're the reason for my parents death, and you have some kind of non- human running ability?" She had stopped crying at this point, but she was still overwhelmed by the whole situation.
" Lana, I said I wouldn't hold anything from you, and I'm not going to. That isn't al that I can do."
Once more, Lana let out a sigh, and began to cry. She realized that he was drifting farther, and farther away from the stereotype she had in her mind. The perfect-all- American- tall- dark- and handsome stereotype.
All that Clark wanted to do was comfort Lana, but he didn't know how to. Lana suddenly looked up at Clark as if she were going to say something that would take all of Clark's worries away. But he was thrown back when he felt his heart sink.
" I think you should leave Clark."
