Ch. 3 Songs of Torture

Chloe

I opened my e-mail, it was from Lex and audio only. I smiled slightly, knowing he was only playing my game with me. Too bad Lex, your gonna lose this one, music is my turf. I opened the message and was surprised at the song he chose.

(Hoobastank--The Reason)

I'm not a perfect personThere's many things I wish I didn't doBut I continue learningI never meant to do those things to youAnd so I have to say before I goThat I just want you to know

You didn't mean to do those things? Well nice timing telling me now!

I've found a reason for meTo change who I used to beA reason to start over newand the reason is you

What? Me?

I'm sorry that I hurt youIt's something I must live with everydayAnd all the pain I put you throughI wish that I could take it all awayAnd be the one who catches all your tearsThats why i need you to hear

This is crazy! Absolutely nuts! You can't take away all the pain! Can you?


I've found a reason for meTo change who I used to beA reason to start over newand the reason is Youand the reason is Youand the reason is Youand the reason is You

He was starting to get to me.

I'm not a perfect personI never meant to do those things to youAnd so I have to say before I goThat I just want you to know

Everyone knows you're not perfect. But you're the perfect man for me.


I've found a reason for meTo change who I used to beA reason to start over newand the reason is you

I've found a reason to showA side of me you didn't knowA reason for all that I doAnd the reason is you

Wow, that was unexpected, but if he expected to win me over that easily, he was mistaken ... even if that song had almost reached my heart, it wasn't enough to pierce my armor I picked my next weapon and sent it. How long can you keep this up Lex? Chloe why are you doing this to yourself? Why are you torturing yourself like this? It's not me being tortured, it's Lex. Yeah sure that's what you tell yourself.

Clark

I sat in my loft, thinking. And I was thinking about Chloe. Chloe and Lex. I couldn't figure out why they kept denying the thing that would make them happy, kept denying themselves each other. It was completely crazy. I needed to fix this, needed to fix them. Chloe was miserable, Lex was miserable, I had to help. But I was going to need some help. I ran to the house and picked up the phone, dialing the only person I could think of to help.

"Lois?"

"Clark?"

"I need your help with something..."

Lex

I signed on to my e-mail, hoping that she had responded. And, sure enough, there was the message. I pressed play and a song came through the speakers. But it wasn't the kind of song I was hoping for.

(Three Doors Down--Let Me Go)

One more kiss could be the best thing
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve

Chloe I promise I'll never lie to you again.

In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me

You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go

Chloe you're wrong, I do know you.

I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin' through

This love could be a great thing! You can't turn your back on loving me, it doesn't work that way.

In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me

You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Just Let me goooooo...
Let me go

I can't let you go Chloe.


And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside I know
I knowww..
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows


You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know Who I am
So let me go
Just let me go

Chloe I can't just let you go, it would kill me.

And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know who I am
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know me

I'm sorry Chloe, but there's no way I can do that, I can't just let you go. I searched the Web for the perfect song to fit...and found it. Almost perfect.

Chloe

I had sat at my computer doing nothing except listening to music and waiting for a response all night. I couldn't sleep, all I could think about was Lex. And then it came in, his e-mail. I pressed play...and my breath caught in my throat. This was one of the most romantic songs on the radio.

(Frankie J--How To Deal)

Sometimes a man has to choose

And do something he doesn't wanna do

Do I live my life with you as my wife

Or do I go on and pursue my lifetime dream

I gotta do this for me

Cuz if I don't I'll probably regret it

But if I do I'll probably regret it

How do I cope

How do you cope when

The one you love is with somebody else

And there's nothing you could do about it

How do I deal with

The fact that you had a chance

But you chose to turn away for your career

I gotta take it though it's heartbreakin'

It's something that I had to do

But nobody said that it would hurt so bad

So how do I live...how do I deal without you

You don't need me Lex.

It's killing me to know

That your heart hurts with me

But you're with him cause I chose

To be in this industry

Money, shows, and hoes come along with luxury and pain

Is all you see when you think about it

But this is the life that I was given

So I have to live it to the fullest

But how do I deal in the meantime without you

I'm sure you'll find some other girl.

How do you cope when

The one you love is with somebody else

And there's nothing you could do about it

How do I deal with

The fact that you had a chance

But you chose to turn away for your career

I gotta take it though it's heartbreakin'

It's something that I had to do

But nobody said that it would hurt so bad

So how do I live...how do I deal without you

how do you deal when you can't be with the one you love
and the one that you love is with somebody else (i don't know, i don't know)
and what do you do when you know she don't love him and she loves me but she just can't stand loving you far away
guess I'm gonna have to..you just \ deal with it (deal with it)
i don't wanna have to live with it...you just deal with it (deal with it)
oh no no, you just deal with it (deal with it)
i don't want nobody else lovin you...you just gotta deal with it (deal with it)
i don't want nobody else lovin me

how do you cope when
the one you love is
with somebody else
and there's nothing you can do about it
how do you deal with
the fact that you had a chance
but you chose to turn away for your career
i gotta take it
though its heartbreakin
its something that i had to do
but nobody said that it would hurt so bad
so how do i live
how do i deal without you

Oh wow. Did he really need me? I sat there for a moment, stunned. Wake up Chloe! You can't let him win! I shook my head, thinking, mentally going through every song I knew. And found the perfect one.

Lex

It was one in the morning, I had to be at work by five, but I knew there was no way I was going to sleep, so I'd just call in sick. Chloe's response came and I listened, surprised that my choice of romantic apology song hadn't won her over.

(Alicia Keys--Karma)

Weren't you the one who said that you don't want me anymore
And how you need your space and give the keys back to your door
And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me
And still you said your love was gone and that I had to leave
Now you're Talking bout a family
Now you're saying I complete your dreams
Oh
Now you're sayin I'm your everything
You're confusing me
What you saying to me, don't play wit me, don't play wit me
Cause...

Chloe I would never play with you, you're too important to me.

What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back

You're right Chloe.

I remember when I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you til 3 o'clock in the 'morn
And when you came home you'd always have some sorry excuse
Half explaining to me like I'm just some kind of a fool
I sacrificed the things I wanted just to do things for you
But when it's time to do for me
You never come thru
Now you wanna be up under me
Now you have so much to say to me
Now you wanna make time for me
Whatcha doin to me, you're confusin me
Don't play with me don't play with me cause

I don't want to confuse you. I'll say it straight.


What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back

What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back

You're right, I got what I deserved.

I remember when I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you till 3 o'clock in the 'morn
Night after night knowing something goin' on
Wasn't long before I be gone
Lord knows it wasn't easy believe me
Never thought you'd be the one that would deceive me
And never do what you're supposed to do
No need to approach me fool, cuz I'm over you

Chloe you can't be over me, I didn't want to deceive you.

What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back

Gotta stop trying to come back to me

What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down

Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back

It's called Karma baby and it goes around

I sighed, she still hadn't forgiven me. What was going to take to break through this armor she had built? I had to find something...Oh this one's good.

Chloe

It was almost 2:00 AM, but tomorrow was Saturday, I didn't have any classes. My computer beeped, another e-mail.

(Jesse McCartney--Beautiful Soul.

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

Oh so this time I should believe you.

I know that you are something special

To you I'd be always faithful

I want to be what you always needed

Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

You already were the one I always needed.

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

I felt the music beginning to work, but I couldn't let that happen. Yet I couldn't stop it.

You're the one I want to chase

You're the one I want to hold

I won't let another minute go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

I want the same thing Lex.

You might need time to think it over

But I'm just fine moving forward

I'll ease your mind

If you give me that chance

I will never make you cry

C'mon let's try

You already made me cry Lex. You are making me cry. A tear slowly slid down my cheek as the soft lyrics worked their way into my heart.

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

You're the one I want to chase

You're the one I want to hold

I won't let another minute go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

Okay Lex, okay. More tears followed the first, he had gotten the right song, that's for sure.

Am I crazy for wanting you?

Maybe do you think you could want me too?

I don't wanna waste your time

Do you see things the way I do?

I just wanna know that you feel it too

There is nothing left to hide

You are crazy for wanting me and...I already want you.

I don't want another pretty face

I don't want just anyone to hold

I don't want my love to go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

You're the one I want to chase

You're the one I want to hold

I won't let another minute go to waste

I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah

Lex I just can't give up that easily, I don't want to get hurt again. I needed a good song to respond and once again Kelly saved the day.

Lex

I hoped my song worked, it just had too. I stared at the computer for about five minutes, my mind going crazy, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I needed her back. And until I had her there was nothing to do but try. All I could do was sit here and wait...until she responded. I recognized the song, it was her favorite artist, Kelly Clarkson.

(Kelly Clarkson--I Hate Myself For Losing You)

I woke up today

Woke up wide awake
In an empty bed
Staring at an empty room
I have myself to blame
For the state I'm in today
And now dying
Doesn't seem so cruel
And oh, I don't know what to say
And I don't know anyway
Anymore

Chloe you can't blame yourself, everything is my fault!


I hate myself for losing you
I'm seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?

Chloe it's not your fault!

You got what you deserved
Hope you're happy now
'Cause every time I think of her with you
It's killing me
Inside, and
Now I dread each day
Knowing that I can't be saved
From the loneliness
Of living without you
And, oh
I don't know what to do
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew

Now I know Chloe, and I want to save you.

I hate myself for losing you
I'm seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?

I hate myself for losing you
And oh, I don't know what to do
I wish you knew
And oh, I don't know what to say
And I don't know anyway
Anymore
No, no

I hate myself for losing you
(I'm seeing it all so clear)
I'm seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?
What do you say when everything's said?
Is the reason why he left you in the end?
How do you cry when every tear you shed
Won't ever bring him back again?
I hate myself for loving you

Chloe please don't say that, please don't say that. She can't hate herself for loving me! Wait...she loved me! I had to convince her that it wasn't her fault, that I wanted her back, that she was all I ever thought about. Was there a song that could possibly convey all that emotion? There had to be, and if there was, I would find it.
