One Week Ago

Lex

I walked into my mansion and collapsed on the couch. Some month this had been. I drug and leave Chloe to go marry a woman who tries to kill me. Then spend a month on an island thinking about nothing except Chloe. Something catches my eye on the desk. A piece of paper is attached to the stereo remote. I get up to look at it.

press play

It was Chloe's handwriting. What could she be up to? She must have done this right after she woke up. I wondered if the stereo had been on pause this whole time. I picked up the remote and pressed play, recognizing the CD she had given me.

(Kelly Clarkson--Gone)

What you see's not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care

I do care, I care more than you can imagine. I know I lied, I'm sorry.

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You're wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

That kind of is what I'm doing but still...you can't be gone!

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today

Chloe I'm sorry! I never wanted to break you!

Chloe you can't be gone! I won't let you be gone!

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it, babe
Take the hint and walk away
'Cause I'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone

But I am sorry! I can't walk away Chloe, I know what I did was wrong but I just can't live without you!

What you see's not what you get
What you see's not what you get

You aren't gone for good. I'll make sure of that. I'll win you back Chloe.

I grabbed my keys and headed for Metropolis, I figured if she left, that's where she'd go. And I will find her.

Yesterday

Chloe

I walked in and laughed,"You guys come here often?" The music pounded, the beat pulsating through my body. This nightclub was definetly one of the best.

"No of course not," said Derek sarcastically.

"Oh yeah, we've never been here before," said Jeanne. We all laughed and went over to the bar.

"What can I get you nice folks?" asked the bartender. We all gave our personal choices and turned back to watch the people dance. As I turned around to get my drink someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned around expecting some drunk guy and gasped when I saw who it was.

"Lex!" I said, my mouth falling open.

"Chloe, how very interesting meeting you here," he said with that famous smirk crossing his features. I watched him look me over top to bottom and back again. My temper flared. How dare he walk back into my life like this! After what he did, how can he even think i'll speak to him again!

"What do you want Lex!" I said hotly, glaring daggers at him. If looks could kill you'd be writhing in pain on the floor buddy, if only looks could kill!

"I hadn't realized I had implied I wanted anything from you Ms. Sullivan," he replied smirking. This had been our everyday talk, this verbal judo.

"I know you Lex, you had better have a damn good reason for talking to me again! If you don't I swear you'll regret it!"

"I do believe we need to talk Ms. Sullivan. Have you had your coffee yet today?" Oooh, not a good idea Lex. My face flushed in anger and I stormed past Lex, pushing through the jumbled mass of flesh. Then I felt a hand on my arm, it pulled me to a door and out into an ally.

"Lex what the hell do you think you're doing!"

"What do you mean?" he said.

"Lex you know damn well what I meant..." I started but trailed off as he stepped closer. I backed into a wall and folded my arms stubbornly across my chest, trying to get angry. But then his hands slid across my stomach and despite myself I shivered at his touch.

"Lex please...don't..." I tried but failed.

"Don't what Chloe, what?" he asked smirking.

"Lex please..."

"Please what?" Then he kissed me, his lips carresed mine. I tried to resist, tried to pull away. But he just pulled me closer and I gave in to his touch. I kissed him back, my arms going around him. Lex pulled me to him, my body melded with his own, we fit together perfectly. His lips traveled down my neck and onto my collarbone. Despite myself, I moaned in pleasure. At that Lex moved his mouth back to mine, he pressed his lips to mine. At last the need for air became to great and we pulled apart. Lex took a breath and then he pulled me to him once again. But by then I had come to my senses,"No," I said. I pushed him off me, forcing myself to pull away from him. He tried to apologize, tried to grab my hand. But I pulled it out of his reach. If he touched me again, I knew I would give in to him. He was too hott, too sexy, too irresistible, he was everything I'd ever wanted. But he had broken my heart and I would never forgive him for that.

"Lex you jerk! What the hell were you doing?" I yelled at him, unable to contain my anger. "I left Smallville for a reason Lex! To get away from you! I'd forgotten all about you!" Not true, I thought about him constantly, but if he knew that I'd never get away. "What did you do? Have me followed!" He tried to interrupt but I cut him off. "No Lex! No more excuses, no more apologies! I'm sick of it! Just leave me alone!"

I walked past him back into the club. I had to get out of there. If he touched me again, I wouldn't be able to leave, wouldn't be able to control myself. You idiot! What do you want? How could you possibly still love him? After what he did to you? I don't know! Ok? I just don't know.

Lex

I walked into the club, this club, Atlantis, was one of my favorites. I was hoping to forget about the one girl who had ever managed to do this to me. The one girl I had ever really, truly loved. So much for forgetting about her! Oh shut the hell up! I started to walk up to the bar but then I froze. It was her. She was here. She was just as gorgeous as I remembered. Suddenly I couldn't control myself. I had to talk to her again, had to hear her voice, had to see her smile. I went up and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned and that smile that made my legs feel like Jello disappeared. Her mouth dropped open,"Lex!" she said.

"Chloe, how very interesting meeting you here," I said, feeling my mouth transforming into a smirk. I looked her over from top to bottom. She was wearing a red, low-cut sleeve less shirt, and a black mini-skirt. My heart skipped a beat. I looked up, hoping to see her smile. I should have known better.

"What do you want Lex!" she said spitefully. Her look should have me on the floor bleeding. I want you Chloe. I want to hold you, and kiss you, and talk to you, and know that you're mine forever.

"I hadn't realized I had implied I wanted anything from you Ms. Sullivan," I said, easily falling into our form of talking, sarcasm and hidden sudelties.

"I know you Lex, you had better have a damn good reason for talking to me again! If you don't I swear you'll regret it!" she practically screamed, not that anyone heard her over the music. I blinked, I hadn't been threatened in awhile. Not many people had the courage to do it. She was one of the few people who had the courage and one of the few who could get away with it.

"I do believe we need to talk Ms. Sullivan. Have you had your coffee yet today?" I thought the mention of coffee would remind her of her time in Smallville, her time with me. I soon realized that I had made a big miscalculation. Her face grew red with anger and she pushed past me, determined, it seemed, to get the hell away from me. I wasn't about to let her get away from me twice. I grabbed her arm and pulled her outside into an ally.

"Lex what the hell do you think you're doing!" I have no idea Chloe.

"What do you mean?" I said, stalling for time.

"Lex you know damn well what I meant..." she started, but as I took a step closer she faltered. She folded her arms across her chest but I just had to have her in my arms one more time. I reached out and slid my hands across her stomach, around to her back. She shivered and I knew I had her.

"Lex please...don't..." she tried but failed.

"Don't what Chloe, what?" I asked smirking. I just couldn't handle it anymore, couldn't take one more minute just standing here this close to her and not do something.

"Lex please..."

"Please what?" I asked. And then I kissed her, kissed her like I had never kissed anyone before. I wanted her so bad that it hurt. My lips moved down her throat and across her collarbone. As hard as I knew she was trying to pull away, I just pulled her closer. And a moan of pleasure escaped from her sweet lips. I brought my mouth back to hers and kissed her like she would disappear at any second. I just couldn't control myself. But I had to breath, so I pulled away. I looked into her beautiful eyes and I wanted more, couldn't control myself. I leaned back in to continue the kiss but she had unfortunately come to her senses.

"No!" she said desperately, pulling away, escaping my arms. "Lex you jerk! What the hell were you doing!" she said, uncontained rage in every syllable. But there was something else behind her eyes. Longing maybe? Dream on playboy! said the voice in his head, which at the moment sounded remarkably like Chloe's. "I left Smallville for a reason Lex! To get away from you! I'd forgotten all about you!" My heart was being torn in two by this small, spunky, beautiful, blonde girl for the second time. "What did you do? Have me followed!" I tried to interrupt and apologize but she cut me off. "No Lex! No more excuses, no more apologies! I'm sick of it! Just leave me alone!" And she left, running away from me for the second time that night. I just stood there, my lips still burning form the taste of hers, my eyes stinging from tears that i would never release.

Present

Chloe

I collapsed on the couch in my dorm room at Metropolis University, I was taking summer courses. I couldn't believe it. He'd found me. Lex had found me. And he had kissed me. God had he ever kissed me. I hadn't realized how much I had missed him, missed the feel of his hands, his lips. Just plain missed the way he made me feel. This was crazy! Damn right it's crazy Chloe! Oh now what do you want? How can you still love him? I don't! Chloe yes you do. No I don't! Chloe. Fine! Fine okay, I still love him. But damn me if I let him have me again. He's not going to get me. Not ever. I will never again let him hurt me again. He was going to pay for making me relive all that heartbreak. I signed online and picked my favorite weapon.

Lex

I had an e-mail, it looked like it was from Chloe. My heart hadn't stopped pounding since yesterday night. I had had her again, felt her face, her lips, her hands, saw her face, heard her voice. But it wasn't enough. She had run away. Again.

I opened the e-mail. There was an attachment, it was audio only.

(Kelly Clarkson--Since You Been Gone)

Here's the thing we started off friends

Since you've been gone

Since you've been gone

Well now I'm back, and this time, you're not getting rid of me so easily.

If this was how she wanted to play, then this was how it was going to be. I would play her little game. In that song I could almost see her singing it to me. See the fury and anger, her eyes lighting up, that spirit that I had never seen before. I could see it, feel it, hear it in every note of every song. For awhile now, every time I listened to music I would think of her. Every song would remind me of her somehow. Well now it was time to make her fall in love with me. I needed her, and I could be just as charming as any guy out there. I might have to work to get her back, but she was worth it.
