Chapter 4

The whole ride back to Smallville, Clark is thinking of Lana and who she could've been with. He loves her so much and just can't believe that she could actually do something like that to him. He wonders how long he can keep from telling her that he knows about it. Trying to think of who she could have been with, and trying to think of any signs that she showed, he loses control of his truck and almost crashes into another car. Deciding to concentrate on driving, he gets to his home and talks to his dad.

Jonathan: Hey Clark can you help me with this hay?

Clark: Yeah, sure. Can we talk too? I have some stuff on my mind and I need someone to talk to.

Jonathan: Yeah what's the matter?

Clark: Well when I went to go visit Lana there was someone in her room.. And I think it was another man.

Jonathan: Then you should talk to her about it and just confront her about it so you know if you need to get out of the relationship.

Clark: See that's the problem. I want to be with her so badly that I just can't deal with it if it's true. I want us to be together.

Jonathan: If it is another man, then you need to talk to her about it because that will just ruin your relationship, you guys will become farther apart as the days go by.

After Clark and Jonathan talk for awhile Clark decides that he will try to call Lana, but not accuse her of anything right away.

Lana: Hello?

Clark: Hey Lana, its Clark.

Lana: I know its you silly. What are you doing?

Clark: Well I was wondering if I could come visit you tomorrow, I ended up being a little busy and that's why I ran off so quick.

Lana: Umm.. Well I have class all day, but if you want to come over at night then that's fine.

Clark: Okay! Sounds good, I'll be over around 7 o'clock or so.

Lana: Ok well I gotta go I'll uh see you tomorrow.

(Voice in the background:) Lana hurry up I gotta leave soon.

Clark: Wait Lana!

Clark could hear Lana saying be quiet in the background then hanging up. He knew that Lana and the mysterious man we're in a relationship. Clark decided that maybe he would go talk to Lex. They we're still not friends anymore, but they would still talk to each other every once in awhile. But when he arrived at the Luthor Mansion Lex wasn't there. He asked the guards where he was but they just said that he was out on a business trip and that he would be back tomorrow.

He only had one more person that he could talk to. Chloe. He didn't want to bother her again, twice in one day but they became even better friends with her since he found out that she knew his secret.

Chloe: Hey Clark!

Clark: Hey Chloe.

Chloe: What's wrong this time?

Clark: I called Lana and well, there was a man in the background again. He said that he had to leave soon, and I know that you can't go back to your dorm right away but...

Chloe: Actually I'm walking up the steps right now.

Clark: Really? Well have you seen any guys come down the stairs yet?

Chloe: Nope I'm the only one in here right now.

Clark: Well is it okay if we just stay on the phone until you get to your dorm, I really want to know if she's in another relationship.

Chloe: Yeah it's fine.

Chloe was excited as usual. How could she let down an offer to talk to Clark longer? She wanted there to be another man in their dorm so bad when she arrives up there. She felt bad for Clark, but she knew that she could comfort him. She got all the way to her door, still on the phone with Clark. She put her ear on the door, and the voice sounded familiar. She couldn't believe it.. Was it actually who she thought it was? She put her key in the door as silently as she could and swung open the door.
