Chapter 4 is here!

Kent Farm

Clark was up in his loft, his head spinning with so many thoughts. His dad's letter, Jor-El's reason for sending him here, but most of all, he thought about Lois. It had been about 2 weeks since his fathers death and they had spoken a word to each other. He just wished she let him explain his actions with Lana. The only real reason he kissed her back, for about ½ a second, was because she completely caught him off guard. But no, she called him a liar and said some other things that he didn't want to repeat. He was soon broken off from his thoughts when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He was upset that it was Lana instead of Lois.

"Hey Clark." Lana said shyly.

"Hey Lana." He responded.

"How are you feeling? Your mother told me that she is real worried about you. You haven't spoken to anyone in a while." she said.

"I'm fine Lana." Clark lied. The truth was that he wanted to open up about his pain to Lois, no one else.

"Oh come on Clark, I know you better than that, you can tell me when something is wrong." she reminded him. She walked over to where he was sitting and brushed his cheek with her hand, looking at him in adoration. Clark knew that she was trying to win his heart again, but it wasn't going to happen. Lois had clawed her way into his heart with her sarcasm and he wasn't planning on kicking her out anytime soon. "Why won't you open up to me?" Lana asked quietly.

Clark sighed as he stood up and walked to the window. "Look Lana, you're my friend, but I'd rather talk about this with someone else." he answered honestly.

"Who would that be, if not the women you once told you'd love forever. Look Clark, I know what I did was wrong. And I know I've done this sort of thing before, and you were always there anyway. I tried walking out on you and trying to forget about you in Gotham, but I realized I never would and when I kissed you I know you were feeling the same thing when you kissed me back. I love you." Lana said confidently as she went to his side by the window of the loft.

Clark sighed, this would be tough, "Look Lana, what we had was amazing and I will never forget what we had, nor will I ever regret it. But, when we broke up, I realized that you and me weren't meant for each other. We always kept secrets from each other and things were always so dramatized." He took a deep breathe and continued, "I only kissed you back because the last thing I thought you'd do was kiss me, and I wasn't prepared to have to pull away. Someone else stole my heart Lana, despite my many attempts to make sure she didn't. And I am in love with her now, and that won't change." Clark answered firmly.

Lana just studied his face, trying to see if there was any hint that he may still be in love with her. But unfortunately for her, there was none. Clark Kent had finally refused to be her safety net, and although she was heartbroken, she could not blame him. She had given up on him more than once and each time he had come back to her and proved her wrong, but this time he respected her decision to be apart, which was not what she wanted, deep down. Tears began to develop in her eyes, she just walked over to Clark and hugged him, just to feel what is was like to be in his strong arms one more time. Clark smiled and hugged her back, still willing to comfort her after how she ruined his relationship with Lois, and despite his pain for the loss of his father.

"Thank you Clark. Thank you for loving me and always believing in me." Lana said as she stepped back. "I won't ever regret what we had either, and I don't think I'll ever find it again." Lana said as she looked down. Clark cupped her chin and kissed her cheek.

"Lana, not only will you find it, it'll be better than what we had. I promise you." Clark assured her.

"How do you know Clark?" Lana asked.

"Because, as a man who once fell in love with you, I know for a fact that it is not hard to do. You are beautiful, smart, caring, and an amazing kisser. It's easy for any man to fall in love with someone like you Lana, and I guarantee that it will happen again." Clark assured again.

Lana just smiled at him, genuinely thankful for his words. "Thank you Clark. You always knew how to cheer me up." Lana said sincerely. She kissed his cheek and began to head towards the stairs, but first she turned around and said, "Clark," He turned around, "Lois is one lucky girl to have you." Lana told him as she smiled at him, and he smiled back.

"Thanks." She then walked down the stairs and pretty much out of his life. To himself he said, "But sometimes I don't think she is." he reminisced sadly. But unknown to both Lana and Clark, a single soul was downstairs retrieving something for Mrs. Kent when she heard the whole thing, that soul was the one and only Lois Lane. She had tears in her eyes. She just saw the man she was head over heels for reject the former girl of his dreams so that he had a chance to be with her, and because she had been so stupid not to let him explain his actions on that horrible day, she had endured the worst 2 weeks of her life. She loved him and he loved her, and there was only more thing she had to do. "Clark!" she yelled from downstairs.

Clark turned around to see Lois Lane, running up the stairs with watery eyes, yet she still looked perfect to him. She stopped when she reached the top of the stairs and the two lovebirds just sat there and stared at each other for what seemed like hours. Neither of them knowing what to do.

Lois then just decided to go for it. "Ah, screw it." she said as she ran to Clark, wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him with all of the love she had for him. And Clark was eager to return the kiss. As they were kissing, and idea popped into Clark's head, he then turned their bodies so that they could fly out the window, and he took them up into the stars. When Lois pulled back for the lack of air, she looked Clark Kent dead in the eye as he stared back. "I guess we still have a lot to talk about." she stated.

"Yeah I guess we do. But right now I want to take the love of my life out into the night sky, so we can forget about the last 2 weeks and just remain in each others arms. I hope she doesn't mind." he said as he smiled at her.

"I think she can handle it." Lois told him as she pulled him in for another amazing kiss.
