Chapter 2

Clark's Pov

I need to go talk to Lana. I walk into the Talon to find Lana stacking chairs and closing the Talon.

"We're closed" says Lana.

"Lana it's me" I say walking into the main part of the Talon.

"What do you want?" she asks bitterly.

"Lana I know your angry with me about breaking our date and everything" I say.

"Clark what I'm more angry about is your broke our date then I found you making out with Chloe. I know why she was kissing you, but why were you kissing her back?" Lana asks with a tear falling down her face.

"Lana I've been lying to myself about my feelings for the two of you and I realize that Lana I love her, I've been love with her since 8th grade, but I let myself get blinded from that because of you." I say.

"Clark you know what hurts is the fact that you led me on when in fact you love her" she says.

"I'm sorry, this parasite thing made me see it."I say.

"You should go" she says and begin to walk out of Talon. Maybe someday we can be friends again, but for now is it is time to let her heal from the deep scar I have given her.

If Chloe remembered it would be all that bad except she would still think I'm madly in love with Lana. I can't believe I never realized before that I loved Chloe. Maybe I did a little bit during Spring Formal, but not like this. I guess I should since she did kiss me and straddle my lap. Oh my gosh it felt good. Well I guess even if I'm alien, I'm still a teenage boy with raging hormones.

I never thought about that, what if I tell Chloe I love her and she says it's just raging hormones or something.

It's not like I wouldn't do that with someone I don't really care about.

I walk across Main street to the truck.

I drive along the straight road to West I -95 and start heading toward the hospital.

I turn on the radio and a country song comes on. I change it to the rock station and Lifehouse's Hanging By a Moment comes flowing out of the speakers.

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

forgetting all I'm lacking
completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
you take all of me

now.. I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

there's nothing else to lose
there's nothing else to find
there's nothing in the world
that can change my mind
there is nothing else
there is nothing else
there is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

just hanging by a moment...(here with you)
hanging by a moment...(here with you)
hanging by a moment... (here with you)
hanging by a moment here with you

The song ends as I pull into the Smallville Medical Center.
