Chapter Eight

Clark walked into the Talon. He walked up to the counter, where his mom was standing. She looked up and saw Clark standing on the other side of the counter. "Hi Clark." She said smiling. "Mom I have a question, do you have a minute?" He asked. "Of course." She walked over to the closest table and sat down, motioning for Clark to join her. He came over to the table and also sat down. "What is it?" Martha asked. "I've been out with Chloe all day trying to stop her from getting killed," Martha looked at him questioningly. "Well, I'll start at the beginning. When you woke me up this morning, I had been having this bad dream about Chloe getting killed by Lex. After I woke up, I went to find Chloe at work. I was talking to her and realized that what she was planning on doing today was exactly what she was planning on doing in my dream. So I thought maybe I had some sort of premonition. We spent all day trying to figure out why Lex would want to kill her and if it was really Lex. Chloe and I figured out that the guy that was going to try to kill her wasn't Lex it was a guy named Travis Blake. He can morph himself into other people, like Tina Greer. So we were just at Lex's and I stopped Travis from killing Chloe, but while I was fighting with Travis, Chloe got pushed down Lex's staircase. She's at the hospital right now. Lana and I weren't aloud to see her yet, Lana told me I should go somewhere and come back later. So I came here to talk to you." He explained the events of the day swiftly. "Oh my, Is Chloe going to be ok?" She asked. Clark sat back in his chair. "I don't know. The doctor said we would have to wait awhile, becauseshe had tohave surgery. That's not really what I came to talk to you about though." He looked at his mom. "After everything that has happened today, I think I might feel different about Chloe. But I'm still not sure how I feel about Lana." Martha leaned her elbows on the table. "Clark I wish I could tell you what to do, but Clark you have to make your own decisions. Just think of this, who makes you laugh? Who makes you cry? Who do you feel the most comfortable with? Who has always been there for you? Who will always be there for you? Who is the first person you think of when you get up in the morning? Who is the last person you think of before you go to bed?" Clark smiled. "Ok, thanks mom. Oh, did you notice if Lois left yet? I called her a while ago and talked her."

"Yeah, she left aboutfive minutes before you got here." Clark looked at his watch. "I'm going to head back to the hospital." He stood up. "Alright, call me if you hear anything." She said before also standing up. "I will. And thanks again mom." Clark turned around and quickly walked out of the building.

Lois walked quickly down the long hallway at Smallville Medical Center. She was really worried about Chloe. As Lois turned the corner, she saw Lana sitting on one of the couches, in the waiting room, talking on her cell-phone. Lana glanced up and saw Lois walk in. She shut the phone and stood up. "Lana, is Chloe ok? Have you heard anything?" Lana motioned for her to sit down. After Lois was seated, she sat next to her. "I haven't heard anything since Clark talked to you." Lois looked around. "Where is Clark?" She asked curiously. "He was really anxious and couldn't sit still, so I told him to go get some coffee or something." She paused, and then continued, "He thinks this is all his fault." Lois looked at Lana. "Why?" Lana sort of rolled her eyes. "I don't know. He didn't really want to talk about it. He was really upset." Lois sighed. "Oh." She was about to say something else, but decided not to when Clark walked into the waiting room. "Hi Lois. Hi Lana." He greeted them his face was filled with worry. And to his surprise, Lois stood up and gave him a hug. She pulled back and said, "She's going to be okay Clark. Really she is." Clark gave a small smile. "Thanks Lois." Just then a nurse walked over the them. "Are you here for Chloe Sullivan?" She asked. Lois answered, "Yes. Is she alright? When can we see her?"

"Chloe is out of surgery. She had a concussion and shattered her wrist. She'll be just fine though. It should take about two to three months for those things to heal but she should be out of the hospital in two or three days. My guess is that you won't be able to see her until tomorrow though. I'll check with the doctor." The nurse answered swiftly. "Thanks" Lois said. The nurse left the room. The three of them were relieved to hear that Chloe was going to be okay. Clark was finally able to sit still, Lois went back to her normal self, teasing Clark, and Lana just sat quietly on the couch reading a magazine, but she wasn't actually reading it. She was thinking about the situation with Lex. What should she do. She wished she could find a man that she could trust to not be constantly lying to her. Why was it so hard?

…………………………………………………

It was the next day. The three of them were again sitting in the waiting room waiting to hear more about Chloe. The nurse that spoke to them the day before, entered the waiting room. As she drew near, all three of them stood up. "You may go back and see her now, but only two at a time." The nurse informed them. Clark suggested that Lois and Lana go back first. He wanted to talk to Chloe alone and knew that he would have her to himself if he went second. So Clark sat back down and the girls followed the nurse down the hall. They stopped at a door numbered, 216. "Here you are. Go ahead in." The nurse said before turning around and walking back to the nurse's station. Lois opened the door and stepped in followed by Lana. Chloe looked up. "Hi." She said quietly. "Hey cuz." Lois said before going over and sitting in one of the chairs next to Chloe's bed. "How are you feeling?" Lana asked, concerned. "Like I just fell down a bunch of stairs." Chloe answered, giving a small smile. "Theyhave Travis and that guy that pushed you down the stairs in custody. They're sending Travis to Belle Reeve and the other guy is going to jail." Lana stated. "How did they get them?" Chloe inquired. "The police found them at the mansion. They said that they were both out cold. I honestlydon't know how Clark did it." Chloe smiled and said, "I do."
