Ch. 5 Restaurants and Old Friends

Chloe

Ahh! I had nothing to wear! What was one supposed to wear on a date with the person that had broken your heart and then mended it again? Not to mention that this person was Lex Luthor. I collapsed on my bed with a sigh, I couldn't believe this was happening. This was absolutely insane. I went to my closet and searched every hanger for something decent to wear, throwing clothes over my shoulder when I decided against them. No...no...no...throw...throw..no! Ah! Oh here we go, this was good. I grabbed the black dress and ran for the shower. It was already 5:30! I washed my hair and hopped out of the shower, toweling my hair dry. I got dressed in a flash and started on my hair and make-up. My hair was longer then it had been, no longer feathered out like he remembered it. I put it up in a high pony tail while singing along with the radio.

(Kelly Clarkson--Beautiful Disaster)

He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as dumb as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right

I'm trying anyway.

Oh when I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

Probably both.

His magical myth
As strong as with I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight

I'm not letting him get away this time.

Oh cuz I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long

I've waited years!

He's soft to the touch
But afraid at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still leaves more than I can take

He get's to me every time! He is so much more than I can take.

He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster

How true. I put the finishing touches on my make-up and glanced at the clock. Crap 6:30! I raced out the door, knowing I would be late.

Lex

I sat at our table, waiting. And waiting. I looked at my watch, 7:15. Pull yourself together Lex, women are always late. I felt someone tap on my shoulder and turned around smiling, expecting Chloe.

"Hi Lex."

"Mary! How are you?" Mary was an old time friend of mine, we had dated for a while but when we broke up we had kind of lost touch.

"Not so good Lex." She looked as if she were about to cry.

"Mary what's wrong?"

"Oh Lex," she said, collapsing against me," my dad died," she sobbed into my chest.

"Oh Mary I'm so sorry." I pulled her close and hugged her fiercely. We stayed like that for a minute before she pulled back slightly.

"Thanks Lex," she said and before I could respond, she kissed me. I was stunned for a second or two before I pulled back and pushed her away.

"Uh, Mary I'm sorry but I, uh... I'm kind of with someone right now."

"Oh, I'm sorry...well this is kind of awkward. I'll call you later okay?"

"Okay, bye Mary." She walked away and I turned around. Oh no! It was Chloe! She was running out the door.

"Chloe!" I yelled, racing after her. "Chloe wait! It's not what you think!" I caught up to her just when she was about to open her car door. I grabbed her and spun her around, and I froze. Her eyes were already red and puffy from crying. Her mascara was running in streaks down her face.

"Get the hell away from me Lex!"

"Chloe, Chloe wait, it's not what you think!"

"Oh so you didn't tell me you loved me, told me to meet you here and then went and kissed some other girl?"

"No Chloe wait! She's just an old girlfriend, and I didn't kiss her, she kissed me!"

"The hell you didn't!" She shoved me to the ground, jumped into her car, and drove off. I sat there for a minute, not believing what had just happened. Hoping that this was just a nightmare and I hadn't really lost Chloe, again. This was crazy! Why did I keep torturing myself like this? Good question. Why don't I just go find some other girl? One that won't break my heart like this? Because you're being stupid. No, because I love her, I love Chloe, not some other girl. I love Chloe, I needed her! Then my cell phone rang. It was my father, oh great.

"What do you want?"

"I want to see you, now."

"Fine, bye." I hung up, what could he possibly want now?

Chloe

I got the the restaurant fifteen minutes late. I jumped from my car and ran to the door. And I froze, there he was. He was holding some other woman in his arms, kissing her. My eyes filled up with tears and I didn't see anything else. I turned and ran out the door.

"Chloe! Chloe wait! It's not what you think!" He was running after me, I felt him spin me around, I stared into his perfect face but I wouldn't let it get to me, not this time.

"Get the hell away from me Lex!" I spat out, furious that he would do this to me again!

"Chloe, Chloe wait, it's not what you think!" How the hell could it be any different? I saw you kissing her!

"Oh so you didn't tell me you loved me, told me to meet you here and then went and kissed some other girl?"

"No Chloe wait! She's just an old girlfriend, and I didn't kiss her, she kissed me!" That is the lamest excuse I've ever heard!

"The hell you didn't!" I shoved him off me, hard, he fell to the ground and I took off. Speeding away in my car, unconsciously going to find solace. I turned up the radio, finding this song very comforting as I sped out of town. Away from Lex. I sang along, picturing me saying this to him.

(Hilary Duff - The Getaway)

Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind
First you wanna be free
Now you say you need me
Giving mixed signals and signs
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again

I fell for your lies again!

I have to get away from you.

I can't keep coming back to you
Every time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on
Cause every time I think you're gone
You show up in my rearview mirror

Is this just a detour?
Cause I gotta be sure
That you really mean what you say
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again

Too late Lex, you ruined it again.

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away
To a place where I can be redefined
Where you're out of sight
And you're out of mind
But the truth is I can't even say goodbye

I did say goodbye.

Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway (a getaway)
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take (I can take)
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away

I have to get away from you! That was a good song, I'd have to play that for him. I realized I had almost arrived at my destination. I jumped out of my car and ran to him.

"Lightning! Lightning it's me boy!" I hopped the fence but he just backed up. I sat down.

"He did again, I had almost forgiven him. I gave him a second chance and you want to know what he did? He blew it! I caught him kissing another girl." Tears streamed down my face, I tried to wipe them off but more kept coming.

"I want to get away from him boy. He keeps breaking my heart and I can't stop him! I hate feeling weak, but whenever I'm around him I am so weak it scares me." More tears fell, I leaned my head back against the fence post.

"Lightning what am I supposed to do?" I whispered. I cried myself to sleep that night, just sitting in Lightning's pasture in my black dress with make-up running down my face.

Lex

"So Dad what did you want?"

"I'm dying Lex." I knew that, he was in the hospital, his liver disease was finally taking its course.

"I know Dad," I said, my voice softening. He reached for my hand and I took his in both of mine.

"And, lying here, on my deathbed, it gives me time to think about my life. I realize some of the mistakes I made and I wanted you to know something. When I ordered Ms. Sullivan shot, it was because I thought she would make you weak."

"But Dad-"

"No, son, let me finish. Now I realize my mistake, love makes you stronger, not weaker. And now I want you to be happy. I want you to be with Chloe son. You love her and if I'm not mistaken she loves you back. I want you to be with her son. I want you to be happy, and most of all I wanted you to know that I love you. I always have loved you Lex." He squeezed my hand and I felt a lump in my throat.

"Thanks Dad, I promise I'll make you proud."

"You already have son."

I walked out of the hospital feeling a lot better. I drove to the penthouse, needing someone to talk to.

"Lucas!" He walked out of the kitchen.

"Yeah?" He took a look at my face. "Lex what did you do to her now?"

"You remember Mary right?"

"Yeah..."

"She was at the restaurant."

"Oh no."

"Her dad died and I was just trying to comfort her but then she kissed me and Chloe saw and ran out and I tried to explain it to her but she didn't believe me and...and...and now I don't know what to do." Out of breath, I collapsed on the couch.

"Woah, woah, calm down, take some deep breaths." He sat down next to me. "Do you love her?"

"Of course Lucas! I love her more than anything! I can't stop thinking about her! She drives me crazy! I've never felt anything like this before! It kills me but I love it! I love her!"

"So tell her that!"

"I've tried! She doesn't want to hear it!"

"You go get some sleep Lex, I'll take care of everything." This thought scared me but I was really tired.

"Okay, okay, night Lucas."

"Night Lex."

I collapsed into my bed but couldn't sleep, all I could do was think about Chloe.

Clark

"Hello?"

"Clark? It's Lucas, I need your help."

"Let me guess, Lex and Chloe?"

"Yeah how did you know?"

"I've been watching them together for years, trying to avoid each other but they can't help but be attracted to one another."

"Exactly."

"Actually me and Lois could use your help."

"Lois?"

"Yeah I called her for help. We thought maybe we could..."

Chloe

Something was nudging me, I opened my eyes, ready to slap him if it was Lex. Wait a minute, it was Lightning. I had slept on the ground all night, wonderful, I would ache all day.

"Good morning boy," I said softly, reaching up to stroke his nose. This time he didn't jump back at my touch. He allowed me to gently pet him.

"I gotta go get changed boy, and take a shower. I'll be back later okay?" I left his paddock and headed to my car.

"Wow you look terrible." Oh great, more problems.

"Thanks Tyler," I said, venom dripping from my voice.

"No, no I'm sorry. I meant, what happened?"

"If you must know, my date went horribly wrong."

"Oh I'm sorry."

"Thanks, now listen, I'm going to go home and get cleaned up. I'll be back later, maybe I can teach you a thing or two to do with Lightning."

"Really? Wow that'd be great!"

"Okay, I'll see you then."

" 'kay, bye Chloe."

I drove back to my dorm, glad I had a single.

I stood in the shower, letting the hot water wash away all the dirt and memories. Now the question was revenge, I figured I would just use my old method, only tweak it a little.
