CHAPTER 8

"Mom, Dad, there is something i need to tell you." Clark says.

"What is it son?" Jonthan asks.

"Well today i told Lana, about me. I thought she had a right to know. Besides she is wearing the Kryptonian symbol for fire on her back. I think it is a sign to me. Like we are linked to be a team some how. If that is the case then she needs to know the truth. All of it. I know you told me to keep it close to myself, but if i can't trust the girl i love then who can i trust besides you two. I have to have someone there, someone else who i can confide in. There are just somethings i can talk to you two about, and that is where Lana will come in. So please please don't be mad." Clark says to them.

"Oh son it is your secret, you're an adult now, we have to trust that you know what you are doing. If you think Lana is the right one to tell, then she is. We trust you to make the right choice, and if she can help you then all the better." Jonthan says.

"Yeah sweety, we understand that thier are things you can't talk to us about that a perrty girl would be able to help with." Martha says.

"Mom i didn't mean that, at least not yet." Clark says.

"Son it will happen in due course. But for now we are happy you feel you can trust her." Jonthan says.

"Does this mean you two are back together?" Martha asks.

"Right now it i'm not sure were we are, i am hoping for the best. She could go either way, but i do know that thier is no way she will ever betray me. I don't know how i know that but i do." CLark says to them.

"Clark, we have no doubt Lana will protect your secret, as best she can. Everyone has a breaking point, but i would say hers is higher than most. I am sure it would take alot for her to break, and some how i doubt you would ever let it get that far." Jonthan says.

"Ok well i have to go see an old friend. Pete came back into town for a vist, he made Lana promise him i would come see him at the Talon. He stayed away so me and Lana could talk. I'll be back as soon as i can."

"Ok son tell him hi for us." Jonthan says as he and Martha leave the loft.

Ten minutes later Clark walked through the front doors of the Talon looking for his old friend. Almost instantly he sees Lana sitting at the counter.
