CHAPTER
2
LOCATION: HIGHWAY 44 IN SMALLVILLE
TIME: 10:00 PM
WARNING:
SOME MILD LANGUAGE
Lana started crying. She got in
her car, and drove. She wasn't watching the road, seeing as tears
blinded had her. Suddenly, she ran herself into a ditch. She slammed
the horn angrily and put her head against the wheel. She broke down
into tears. She noticed headlights coming towards her car & she
cursed under her breath. She thought Great, now I get to be bugged
for being on the side of the damn road. She prepared some money
from her wallet to pay for a ticket.
A man approached Lana's
car and she started to get frightened. The man stood next to her car
and said "Lana? Are you alright?" Lana jumped and noticed that it
was her friend, Lex Luthor. "Lex! You scared me to death." Lex
answered, "I'm sorry Lana. I never meant to frighten you." Lana
breathed out. "It's okay Lex, and yes, I am fine." Lex breathed
out. "Are you sure?" He asked. Lana bit her lip and lifted her
eyebrows. "Lex, I had a fight with Clark. I don't know what to do
anymore. I am not longer happy when I am with him. I just want to
know what goes on inside of him, you know?" Lex smirked. "Trust
me, Lana. I've tried so many times to get him to reveal his true
self to me. I was his best friend for 4 years, and still, that wasn't
enough. You have known Clark for way longer than I have, and he won't
even reveal to you! And you are the woman he claims to love. The
point is, Clark just has a problem with trusting people. Some people
do. Even I get caught up with my own secrets sometimes. Lana nodded
her head. "I guess it just kills me, because I love him so much and
I want to be there for him! But the more I try, it seems like he just
pulls away even more. I have needs too though, and they aren't
being fulfilled." Lex smiled. "And Clark needs to realize that
Lana. You are so special, you deserve only the best." Lana smiled.
"Thanks Lex." She said. She kissed Lex on the cheek and smiled a
toothed grin. Lex suddenly got inspired. "Hey Lana…" Lex asked.
Lana answered "Yeah?" Lex continued. "Do you want to come to
the mansion? I mean, not a date or anything but just to you know, get
cleaned up and maybe talk or something." Lana sighed quickly. "Lex,
I…" Lex continued. "It would only be a few minutes, you know …a
quick hi & bye. Please?" Lana smiled slightly and then stopped.
"I'm sorry Lex, but I should probably go. You know, Chloe might
get worried and all." Lex bit his lip and stepped away from Lana's
car. Lana started her car and drove away without another word.
Lex
cursed at himself repeatedly. How could he be so stupid? Lana was in
a relationship with his once friend. In fact, Clark was his once BEST
friend. He had already done enough damage to their friendship as it
was. He had no business trying to interfere with Clark and Lana's
relationship. Lex felt a tear trickle down his cheek. He wiped it off
and looked at it. Look at me, thought Lex. I am crying over
something I could never have. How stupid am I? Shame on me, Pathetic.
Just Pathetic. Lex thought to himself about how Lana was the one
thing he couldn't buy in his life. But Lana was all Lex WANTED at
the moment. She was his only true friend, his everything. But still,
he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't just steal her! He
sadly got into his Porsche and drove away into the black of the
night.
