Chapter 6:
It was nearing midnight and Lois was just about to go to bed when she heard a knock on the door. Her eyebrows furrowed together in wonder. Who could that be? Lois cautiously walked towards the door and opened it just enough to see who was standing on the other side. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw her cousin's blonde head. Lois smiled.
"Isn't it a little late for you to be out, cuz?"
Her smile faded when she caught site of Chloe's tear stained face.
"Chloe what is it?" Lois asked, concerned.
Chloe didn't really feel like talking about it, she just wanted comfort. So she stepped into the apartment and let Lois embrace her with a reassuring hug. After she was in her cousin's safe arms, she again let the tears flood from her eyes.
Lois didn't know what to say. She hadn't seen Chloe like this in a long time. What was wrong? If this guy that she had been secretly dating broke her heart….than she was determined to break him. Lois squeezed her cousin tighter. No one was ever going to hurt her again. She would make sure of that.
………………………………………………………………………
Lois woke the next morning on her couch. She slowly sat up with a sigh. Suddenly remembering Chloe she glanced in the direction of her bed, where her cousin had stayed for the night. It appeared that she was still asleep. Lois gave a small smile. She was glad that Chloe had gotten some sleep. She stood up and walked over to her kitchenette.
Chloe blinked awake as her nose picked up the scent of fresh brewed coffee. She sat up and took a deep breath before speaking.
"Mm…That smells good. Is it done?" Chloe was longing for the coffee that's scent had rested in her nose.
"Hey, you're awake. Yeah, it's done. Would you like a cup?"
"If you don't mind."
Lois poured two cups of coffee and walked over to the bed. She handed Chloe her cup before taking a seat on the bed. They sat in silence for a few minutes, quietly sipping their coffee. Lois finally had to say something.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked. Chloe didn't reply so Lois continued. "Why you came to my apartment in the middle of the night, crying. Or why you didn't want to stay at the dorm last night. Did something happen between you and Lana?"
There was still a gap of silence before someone spoke again, but this time it was Chloe.
"Lois I'm sorry, I know that this is bothering you. But I'm not ready to talk about it just yet. So can we just forget about it for now?"
Lois just shrugged and responded, "Suit yourself."
Chloe let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks Lois."

Lex was sitting at his desk in the library when the double doors swung open.
"I dug up every little thing that I could find on Clark Kent and here it is," The man said as he tossed the thick file onto Lex's desk.
Lex flipped through the file quickly. He recognized most of the information.
"Ok. Travis Blake escaped from Belle Reeve a couple of days ago and hasn't been seen since. I want you to find him." Lex said. He stood up and walked over to his small safe. Reaching in, he pulled out a picture and a small, black, gun shaped item.
"Here is a picture of Travis that was taken when he entered Belle Reeve. And this…" He slowly held up the other item, "This is a taser gun." Lex placed both items in the younger man's hands.
"But I don't even know where to start. And didn't you say that he can morph himself into other people?" The guy questioned, one of his eyebrows shooting up.
"Well here's a start…He likes Lana and his is probably after Clark and Chloe. So if you keep an eye on them you'll probably find him." Lex informed him.
At the sound of her name memories flooded the young man's head. Her dark hair and her beautiful eyes. Just to see her again would be refreshing. He suddenly longed to hold her in his arms once again…His thoughts were abruptly disturbed by Lex.
"Well…" Lex prodded.
"Well what? Oh…yeah I'm going." He said, before turning to leave the mansion.

Chloe was driving back to Metropolis when she heard the ring of her cell phone. She reached into her purse and pulled it out. When she noticed that it was the Kent farm she rolled her eyes, but answered it reluctantly.
"Hello."
"Hi Chloe. I was wondering if you have seen Clark. He hasn't been home since yesterday."
Chloe was relieved to hear Martha's voice and not Clark's.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Kent, but I haven't seen him since yesterday."
Tears began to fill her eyes. Come on Chloe, you're stronger than this, She reminded herself and quickly wiped away the tears that had made their way down her face.
"Oh. Well will you let me know if you see him?"
"Sure thing. Sorry that I couldn't be much help."
"It's alright. Good-bye."
"Bye."
Chloe snapped the phone shut and tossed it onto the passenger's seat. Not wanting to listen to her thoughts, she flicked on the radio. As she listened to the words of the bitter-sweet song, she didn't try to stop her tears from coming.
I'm so tired of being here.
Suppressed by all my childhood fears,
And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave.
Cause your presence still lingers here,
And it won't leave me alone.
These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have...
All of me.
You used to captivate me by your resonating mind,
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams,
Your voice has chased away all the sanity in me.
These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have...
All of me.
I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.
But though you're still with me,
I've been alone all along.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have...
All of me.
She finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned off the radio with a shuddering sigh. Her tears had began to cloud her view of the road so she decided to pull over.
Why me…why me?

Lana was about to head to her 12:15 class at Met. U. when there was a knock on the door. She quickly walked over and pulled it open. At the sight of the man that was standing there her eyes widened. She tried to shut that door in his face, but she wasn't fast enough. He had caught the door and pushed it back open.
"Hello Lana. Nice to see you too."
