Authors notes - Just to warn you, in this story I am going to have to torture Clark and Lois a little bit and get some Clark/Lana time in. But don't worry, things will turn out the way they should, not until much later though, maybe even in a later story. Thanks for the reviews. Here is chapter 2, which starts off right where chapter 1 left off.
Kent Farm
"What are you two doing?" Lana asked with a small crack in her voice. The shock evident in her face.
"What does it look like?" Lois quipped back, unhappy with Lana's presence.
"I...I was wondering if I could talk to Clark." Lana began, "Alone!" she finished with an unusual firmness in her voice.
Clark just looked at Lois, who looked back at Clark, then at Lana. Her eyes narrowed in an attempt to intimidate Lana, and of course it worked as Lana quickly shifted her gaze to the floor. "Sure Lana, I'll give you two some alone time." Lois answered. But before leaving, she made sure to give Clark a quick, yet strong kiss that made Clark dizzy.
After Lois left, the two of them just sat there for a moment, hating the uncomfortable silence that cam along with it. "So, I guess some things have changed since I've been gone." Lana joked, hoping to lighten the mood.
"Why are you here Lana?" Clark asked not looking to joke. He was sick of the drama that came along every time Lana was around.
"I wanted to talk to you." she answered hesitantly.
"I figured that." Clark responded bitterly, "But I was asking what about." he finished.
"Look Clark, do you remember the last time we talked?" Lana asked.
"Of course I do, you broke up with me then remember?" Clark asked back.
Lana just nodded, "Well, I've been thinking and..." she began but was interrupted by Clark.
"Let me guess, your sick of all my secrets and lies and came all the way here from Gotham to see for the hundredth time if I'm finally ready to open up to you." Clark mocked.
Lana just took a step back. Lois, however, smiled widely as she was silently listening from downstairs, but unable to see them actually talking. Clark was finally seeing the dramatics that Lana caused with him. "YES!" she thought.
"Ok, I guess I deserved that from the last conversation we had." Lana began, "But as I was saying, I've been thinking and I realized that I missed you Clark, you are an important person in my life and I don't want to lose you like I have so many people in my life." Clark felt some sympathy there, a lot of people had left her. "I also realized that...that..." she stuttered.
"Yeah?" Clark asked, slightly intrigued by what she had to say. Lois, on the other hand was quietly making her way up the stairs of the loft, looking to throw Lana a beating if she said what Lois knew she was going to say.
"That you are the one for me Clark, I still love you, I think I always will love you Clark Kent, whether your ready to tell me your secret or not." Lana finished and Clark's eyes grew wide and he sat there shocked. Lana just smiled at him, stepped towards him and kissed him. Clark's head was spinning so much that at first he didn't pull away and kissed her back, slightly. But Lois saw the whole ordeal and her heart sank as she saw Clark react to the kiss not in the way she wanted. She quickly turned her head and ran down the stairs.
Clark heard her and quickly broke away from Lana's kiss and didn't know what to do. "Clark?" Lana asked confused.
"Look Lana, I won't ever regret what we had together, but I am with Lois now and that won't change." Clark said firmly. He then took of down the stairs after Lois, leaving Lana with her thoughts, but at normal speed to avoid suspicion from Lana.
"Lois! Lois wait!" Clark begged as he chased her down the driveway.
"Go away!" Lois screamed at him, "Your no different from the Clark Kent I used to hate. You'll never be over Lana! NEVER!" Lois yelled as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"But Lois I..." Clark began but was interrupted.
"No Clark! Don't try to deny it! I saw the whole thing, whether or not she kissed you, you most definitely kissed her back and didn't pull away at all. If you loved me instead of her, that would've been your first reaction. NOT TO KISS HER BACK!" Lois yelled as her voice cracked and heart broke more and more.
"Look Lois you don't understand..." Clark began again but was interrupted again, but with a slap across the face from Lois.
"NO! I UNDERSTAND PERFECTLY! Your not over Lana, and now I know you never will be, I'm just glad I found out before you and I continued this lie for a relationship any further." Lois accused as she got into her car. Clark was now panicking, he didn't know what to do to convince Lois that he was over Lana and in love with her. He ran to her window.
"Lois, please don't do this. Please. I'm begging you. You've got it all wrong." Clark said, trying desperately to get through Lois, hoping she would listen.
"I'm sure I do Clark, now if you don't mind, I'd like to leave this house and never come back to see your lying face again. Alien or not, your no different from any other guy that I've known in my life, except for your "freak status." Lois snapped at him, not realizing what she just said.
Clark's world just cam down on top of him. He just heard the love of his life accuse him of being a freak because of his nonhuman status. He quickly let a tear fall from his eyes and stepped back from the car, not knowing how to respond. Lois saw the look on his face and immediately regretted her last statement. She wanted to just forget all of this and run and hold Clark forever. But he broke her heart, she was just returning the favor. She quickly drove off so that she wouldn't see Clark's sadness go any further.
Clark just watched her car turn out of his house and down the road until it was no longer visible for him to see. Completely broken inside, not knowing what to do, he bent down and shot up into the air and just flew, not knowing where he was going or if Lana saw him (luckily she didn't), he just knew he needed to get away and forget what just happened.
