Thanks for the Reviews. I know my chapters are short, but they will get longer once I get more into the story.
When Chloe arrived at the mansion, she didn't to a certain extent believe what she saw. There was Lex sitting at his chair, feet propped up on the desk, eyes red and filled with anger. He never puts his feet on his desk, he told me that was a sign of a man that didn't respect his property. What has changed? Why am I afraid of my husband all the sudden?
He came up to her so fast that it almost didn't seem human, and then he grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently. "What did you say to him, Chloe? Did you tell him that I was on to him? Because I am pretty sure he saw what I said on the news today." Chloe took hold of his arms and pulled him away from her. Suddenly he had become a stranger to her, not the man she married.
"What is wrong with you Lex? For the past few days you havehad an entire personality change. You're not the man I married anymore. You're a stranger to me."
Lex didn't look the least bit hurt, he just looked mad. "Well, you're not the woman I married either, Chloe. All you care about is how people see you. The Chloe I married didn't give a damn what people thought about her."
"I am the one that cares about how people see them? Lex, you are never around. You are always looking for new ways to get the public to notice you, even if it means you aren't with your family. You're never around; your son barely knows you, and right now I don't want him too." With that Chloe walked out the door with no intention of coming back.

Chloe picked up her son and went to the bank to get some money for a motel room. She and Alex would stay there until Lex sorted out whatever he was going through. But when she got up to the counter the lady said "I'm sorry ma'am, there isn't any money in this account. Lex called this afternoon and had it moved to a different account."
That rat-ass bastard.
"Well, what is the account number for the new account?"
"I'm sorry ma'am. I am not allowed to give that information. Maybe you should talk to your husband, I am sure he will tell you.
Chloe stormed off in the direction of Clark in Lois's apartment.
-------
Chloe arrived with Alex who the whole way there struggled to keep up. He was now breathing hard and asked, "Why are we staying with Lois? Why aren't we staying with Dad?"
"Because Dad is having some problems, honey." He looked up at her questionably. It was hard to explain this to an eight year old. But he was old enough to know not to press her with more questions. Lois opened the door and gave Chloe and Alex a hug. Chloe had called her on the way over, saying that they needed a place to stay but not explaining why. As Alex ran in to greet "Uncle Clark" Lois asked, "So you going to tell me what's going on?" Chloe sighed, "Something is going on with Lex. He is acting like a total madman. We got in this big fight and then I went to get money for a motel and they told me that Lex had moved the money into another account."
"That ass. What do you think is wrong with him?"
"I don't know. I think he might be mentally ill. I am going to meet with Jill tomorrow and ask some questions." Jill was Chloe's best friend besides Lois. She was also Chloe's Doctor.
Chloe didn't know if she wanted to meet with her though, she was afraid of what she would say. What if she was right?
"Chloe, you know you are always welcomed here," Clark said from inside the apartment. He was sitting with Alex watching TV. "Clark is right. We have a guest room and Alex can sleep on the couch, it is also a bed." Chloe didn't know what she would do without Lois and Clark, but what she did know what she couldn't keep avoiding the issue. She was going to have to go home sooner or later.
She was going to have to face her demons.
Please Review. I don't know when I will update, I have Band Camp all next week.
