Chapter 9
Lana is sitting on a stool at the counter, when she sees Clark. Her breath catches in her lungs. How is it he has that ability, to simplely walk in a room and raise her heart rate. She knows she did the right thing. When thier eyes meet her heart stops for the briefest of breaths. Then is off to the races again beating even faster, even though he isn't even here to see her. She flashes him a sweet smile, then returns to her coffee.
How is it that with just a smile she can make everyone else in the room disapper? It is like the only two people around are her and me. How is it that i had forgotten that ability of hers. Clark is so caught up in looking at her that he almost doesn't hear Pete hollaring his name.
"Clark, hey Clark over here man." Pete says.
"Pete there you are, hey man it is nice to see you." Clark says as the embrace in a hug.
"Yeah long time no see, so how have things been?" Pete wants to know.
"Merky and confussing. But i think it might be clearing up. How about you?" Clark asks.
"Well i am doing good, i miss being here and seeing my friends but good other than that good." Pete tells him.
"So how long you going to be in town for?" Clark asks him.
"Not too long just came up here to see my day for a couple of days, you know how it is." Pete says.
"Yeah it must be tough, your dad here and your mom and you there."Clark says, as he sneaks a look at Lana. Of course this doesn't go unnoticed by Pete.
"I see somethings never change." Pete says.
"What, oh yeah i guess not." Clark kinda chuckles.
"So how did things go this morning?" Pete asks.
"Well we both admitted we were still in love with eachother, plus i finally told her." Clark says.
"Yeah i know we had a talk this morning as well. She was really upset about it at first, but after the shock wore off i think she was cool with it." Pete tells him.
"Yeah we had a good talk i told her, that she needed to figure things out with Jason. I told her to do that and then let me know what she decided." Clark tells him.
"Well i think you won, i saw Jason leave a little while ago and he wasn't happy." Pete says.
"Well i am sure Lana will tell me when she is ready." Clark says as he notices Lana get up and walk out the doors.
Pete and Clark continue to talk about school and things when Clark's super hearing picks up a girls scream. That sounded alot like Lana.
"Pete Lana is in trouble." and with that Clark runs out of the Talon and then superspeed to get to the spot where he heard Lana scream.
She was gone the only thing there was one of her shoes. Who could have done this and why. He is standing there, when out of an alley way steps Jason.
"Looking for someone Kent?" Jason asks.
"Where is she Jason?" Clark asks.
"Somewhere you won't find her, that way she can rethink this whole thing through." Jason says.
"If you hurt one hair on her head, Jason i will rip you apartlimb from limb." Clark tells him.
"Well that is entirely up too her, you see Kent if i can't have her then you won't either." Jason says.
By this time Pete has arrived. He sees Clark about to rush Jason and steps between them. Stopping Clark with a hand on his chest. He knows that if Clark does it he will reveal his secrets to the wrong person.
"Clark not this way man. Think of Lana." Pete says.
"Yeah Kent think of poor Lana. what would happen if you did something to me?" Jason asks.
"Don't think this is over Jason i will find her, and when i do and she is safe i am coming after you." Clark tells him shaking from rage.
"Clark when you find her it will bejust to bury her, understand." Jason says with a sick smile on his face.
"Jason stop, leave before i can't control him anymore." Pete says.
"Oh i am going Pete. Just remember Kent, the next time you see Lana she will either be with me or dead." Jason says as he walks away.
