Chapter Two
--
Chloe was finishing the remainder of her breakfast when Lana emerged looking as radiant as ever. Chloe forced herself to gulp it down and greeted Lana with a small smile. She wasn't feeling very up to it this morning as she had little to no sleep last night, afraid she'd be haunted by the same dream and her deceitful thoughts.
Chloe was about to crack a joke when she noticed Lana's distant mood. Being a kind and caring friend she compassionately asked,
"Are you okay? You don't seem like yourself this morning." Chloe commented. Lana turned around from where she was brewing herself a cup of coffee and smiled politely, the smile not reaching up to her eyes.
"Yeah I'm fine." She replied as she emptied out the remains of her coffee, "I'm going to go over to the Talon. See you in school." She said as she pulled on her jean jacket and grabbed her bag and keys and left.
Chloe sat hurt by Lana's actions. She hated how people couldn't be open with her. She had problems too and even went as far to comfort them, but she rarely ever did get something in return. She often felt like she was used, and in reality it proved to be true.
She shrugged it off, she had to learn to ignore other people's privy business and concentrate on her own. She wouldn't be sticking her nose in unwanted places. That is until she became an official reporter and could do so.
She grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder. There was no use in going to school so early so she decided to take a ride instead and help clear her mind.
She grabbed her keys and locked the door as she walked over to her car and started the engine. After she buckled up she drove off and felt herself calm behind the steering wheel.
Her eyelids began to droop as her body cried in alarm when the car began to swerve and she noticed a blurred silver car heading towards them.
Chloe jolted awake enough to swerve to the other side and hit a telephone pole instead. Her body jerked forward but was held back by the confinements of her belt and the airbag popped and cushioned her head. As it slowly lost air she heard her car door open and someone unbuckle her.
Her eyes opened blurrily and stared into the figure of her hero. The source of her nightmares and thoughts stood in front of her as he valiantly carried her out of the smoking vehicle and to the safety of his car.
He laid her down in the back and hopped into the convertible. That last thing she heard before she blacked out was his comforting voice.
"You'll be okay…just hang on Chloe…" She liked the sound of her name on his lips as her eyes closed peacefully.

Chloe re-awoke to find herself in a sterile white room. Her head spun from the intensity she had shot up from her bed. She held her head as she noticed some bandages and gauze wrapped around her forehead. She touched it softly and hissed in pain.
She looked down and noticed she was wearing a paper gown. Totally gaudy…she thought. But who was she to complain…at least she was alive. Her memories flooded back as she remembered the current past events. Why did he have to be the one to be in that car, to find her and save her? As much as she enjoyed it she was getting antsy. Why couldn't Clark save her, he had always managed to save Lana, but that was because he was in love with Lana and not her. It was so depressing when she thought like that.
And there was the cause of her torment and struggle for the past weeks, strolling causally into the plain room.
He stood at the foot of her bed as she blushed embarrassedly at her ugly paper gown.
"So how are you doing?" He asked casually, placing his hands in his pockets as he took in his surroundings. "They really need some interior decorating." Chloe felt her face heat up, he was addressing her, asking about her.
"I've been better and yeah the room's a bit plain." Chloe remarked taking it in. Lex looked down at her and smiled kindly.
"Well we didn't come in here to observe the hospitals lack of creativity and originality. I came to see how you were doing and to find out what happened." Lex inquired subtly.
Chloe laughed lightly, "You were always the detective weren't you Lex. I think you should've majored in a career as a reporter." Chloe remarked. Lex nodded.
"It always did interest me, but being born into my position I didn't have a choice." He explained and Chloe listened quietly. He smiled at her attempts to evade the conversation. "Now let's stop eluding the conversation."
"Well…uh…actually I'm not quite sure. I suppose it's because I didn't get enough sleep…something kept bothering me and kept me from getting any sleep." Chloe explained.
Lex looked over her in concern and she felt her knees buckle; it was a good thing she was seated. "What's wrong Chloe?" He asked concernedly. Chloe flushed, she had such a big gab that she really despised sometimes.
"It's…er…nothing important." Chloe sputtered out and hit herself mentally for the pathetic excuse.
"It must be pretty important to have kept you from sleep." He replied and noticed her head turned away. He sighed inwardly. "I hope you know you can come to me if there is something bothering you. That's what friends are for." Chloe's head spun around as she stared into his deep blue eyes that held no sign of deceit.
"Thanks Lex, that's really good to know." She said truthfully. He smiled and dismissed himself claiming she needed to get some rest. Chloe flopped back and grabbed a pillow as she squeezed it tightly.
I'm his friend…--
